Genesis 1
1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
在起初天主創造了天地。
2 And the earth was waste and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep: and the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
大地還是混沌空虛，深淵上還是一團黑暗，天主的神在水面上運行。
3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
天主說：「有光! 」就有了光。
4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
天主見光好，就將光與黑暗分開。
5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, one day.
天主稱光為「晝，」稱黑暗為「夜。」過了晚上，過了早晨，這是第一天。
6 And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
天主說：「在水與水之間要有穹蒼，將水分開!」事就這樣成了。
7 And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.
天主造了穹蒼，分開了穹蒼以下的水和穹蒼以上的水。
8 And God called the firmament Heaven. And there was evening and there was morning, a second day.
天主稱穹蒼為「天，」天主看了認為好。過了晚上，過了早晨，這是第二天。
9 And God said, Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.
天主說：「天下的水應聚在一處，使旱地出現! 」事就這樣成了。
10 And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.
天主稱旱地為「陸地，」稱水匯合處為「海洋。」天主看了認為好。
11 And God said, Let the earth put forth grass, herbs yielding seed, [and] fruit-trees bearing fruit after their kind, wherein is the seed thereof, upon the earth: and it was so.
天主說：「地上要生出青草，結種子的蔬菜，和各種結果子的樹木，在地上的果子內都含有種子! 」事就這樣成了。
12 And the earth brought forth grass, herbs yielding seed after their kind, and trees bearing fruit, wherein is the seed thereof, after their kind: and God saw that it was good.
地上就生出了青草，各種結種子的蔬菜，和各種結果子的樹木，果子內都含有種子。天主看了認為好。
13 And there was evening and there was morning, a third day.
過了晚上，過了早晨，這是第三天。
14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years:
天主說：「在天空中要有光體，以分別晝夜，作為規定時節和年月日的記號。
15 and let them be for lights in the firmament of heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.
要在天空中放光，照耀大地! 」事就這樣成了。
16 And God made the two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: [he made] the stars also.
天主於是造了兩個大光體：較大的控制白天，較小的控制黑夜，並造了星宿。
17 And God set them in the firmament of heaven to give light upon the earth,
天主將星宿擺列在天空，照耀大地，
18 and to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.
控制晝夜，分別明與暗。天主看了認為好。
19 And there was evening and there was morning, a fourth day.
過了晚上，過了早晨，這是第四天。
20 And God said, Let the waters swarm with swarms of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.
天主說：「水中要繁生蠕動的生物，地面上、天空中要有鳥飛翔! 」事就這樣成了。
21 And God created the great sea-monsters, and every living creature that moveth, wherewith the waters swarmed, after their kind, and every winged bird after its kind: and God saw that it was good.
天主於是造了大魚和水中各種孳生的蠕動生物以及各種飛鳥。天主看了認為好。
22 And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth.
遂祝福牠們說：「你們要孳生繁殖，充滿海洋；飛鳥也要在地上繁殖! 」
23 And there was evening and there was morning, a fifth day.
過了晚上，過了早晨，這是第五天。
24 And God said, Let the earth bring forth living creatures after their kind, cattle, and creeping things, and beasts of the earth after their kind: and it was so.
天主說：「地上要生出各種生物，即各種牲畜、爬蟲和野獸! 」事就這樣成了。
25 And God made the beasts of the earth after their kind, and the cattle after their kind, and everything that creepeth upon the ground after its kind: and God saw that it was good.
天主於是造了各種野獸、各種牲畜和地上所有的各種爬蟲。天主看了認為好。
26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the heavens, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
天主說：「讓我們照我們的肖像，按我們的模樣造人，叫他管理海中的魚、天空的飛鳥、牲畜、各種野獸、在地上爬行的各種爬蟲。」
27 And God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
天主於是照自己的肖像造了人，就是照天主的肖像造了人：造了一男一女。
28 And God blessed them: and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the heavens, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
天主祝福他們說：「你們要生育繁殖，充滿大地，治理大地，管理海中的魚、天空的飛鳥、各種在地上爬行的生物! 」
29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb yielding seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for food:
天主又說：「看，全地面上結種子的各種蔬菜，在果內含有種子的各種果樹，我都給你們作食物；
30 and to every beast of the earth, and to every bird of the heavens, and to everything that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, [I have given] every green herb for food: and it was so.
至於地上的各種野獸，天空中的各種飛鳥，在地上爬行有生魂的各種動物，我把一切青草給牠們作食物。」事就這樣成了。
31 And God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.
天主看了他所造的一切，認為樣樣都很好。過了晚上，過了早晨，這是第六天。
