Genesis 1
1 At the first God made the heaven and the earth.
I Begyndelsen skabte Gud Himmelen og Jorden.
2 And the earth was waste and without form; and it was dark on the face of the deep: and the Spirit of God was moving on the face of the waters.
Og Jorden var øde og tom, og der var Mørke oven over Afgrunden, og Guds Aand svævede oven over Vandene.
3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
Og Gud sagde: Der vorde Lys; og der blev Lys.
4 And God, looking on the light, saw that it was good: and God made a division between the light and the dark,
Og Gud saa, at Lyset var godt, og Gud gjorde Skilsmisse imellem Lyset og Mørket.
5 Naming the light, Day, and the dark, Night. And there was evening and there was morning, the first day.
Og Gud kaldte Lyset Dag, og Mørket kaldte han Nat; og der blev Aften, og der blev Morgen, første Dag.
6 And God said, Let there be a solid arch stretching over the waters, parting the waters from the waters.
Og Gud sagde: Der vorde en udstrakt Befæstning midt i Vandene, og den skal skille imellem Vand og Vand.
7 And God made the arch for a division between the waters which were under the arch and those which were over it: and it was so.
Og Gud gjorde den udstrakte Befæstning og gjorde Skilsmisse imellem Vandet, som var nedentil i den udstrakte Befæstning, og imellem Vandet, som var oventil i den udstrakte Befæstning; og det skete saa.
8 And God gave the arch the name of Heaven. And there was evening and there was morning, the second day.
Og Gud kaldte den udstrakte Befæstning Himmel; og der blev Aften, og der blev Morgen, anden Dag.
9 And God said, Let the waters under the heaven come together in one place, and let the dry land be seen: and it was so.
Og Gud sagde: Vandene under Himlene samle sig til eet Sted, at det tørre ses; og det skete saa.
10 And God gave the dry land the name of Earth; and the waters together in their place were named Seas: and God saw that it was good.
Og Gud kaldte det tørre Jord, og Vandenes Samling kaldte han Hav; og Gud saa, at det var godt.
11 And God said, Let grass come up on the earth, and plants producing seed, and fruit-trees giving fruit, in which is their seed, after their sort: and it was so.
Og Gud sagde: Jorden lade fremvokse Græs, Urter, som give Sæd, frugtbare Træer, som bære Frugt efter sit Slags og have sin Sæd i sig paa Jorden; og det skete saa.
12 And grass came up on the earth, and every plant producing seed of its sort, and every tree producing fruit, in which is its seed, of its sort: and God saw that it was good.
Og Jorden frembragte Græs, Urter, som gave Sæd efter sit Slags, og Træer, som bare Frugt og havde sin Sæd i sig efter sit Slags; og Gud saa, at det var godt.
13 And there was evening and there was morning, the third day.
Og der blev Aften, og der blev Morgen, tredje Dag.
14 And God said, Let there be lights in the arch of heaven, for a division between the day and the night, and let them be for signs, and for marking the changes of the year, and for days and for years:
Og Gud sagde: Der vorde Lys paa Himmelens udstrakte Befæstning, at gøre Skilsmisse imellem Dagen og imellem Natten; og de skulle være til Tegn og til bestemte Tider og til Dage og Aar.
15 And let them be for lights in the arch of heaven to give light on the earth: and it was so.
Og de skulle være til Lys paa Himmelens udstrakte Befæstning til at lyse over Jorden; og det skete saa.
16 And God made the two great lights: the greater light to be the ruler of the day, and the smaller light to be the ruler of the night: and he made the stars.
Og Gud gjorde de to store Lys, det store Lys at regere Dagen og det lille Lys at regere Natten og Stjernerne.
17 And God put them in the arch of heaven, to give light on the earth;
Og Gud satte dem paa Himmelens udstrakte Befæstning til at lyse over Jorden
18 To have rule over the day and the night, and for a division between the light and the dark: and God saw that it was good.
og til at regere om Dagen og om Natten og til at skille imellem Lyset og imellem Mørket; og Gud saa, at det var godt.
19 And there was evening and there was morning, the fourth day.
Og der blev Aften, og der blev Morgen, fjerde Dag.
20 And God said, Let the waters be full of living things, and let birds be in flight over the earth under the arch of heaven.
Og Gud sagde: Vandet vrimle med en Vrimmel af levende Væsener, og Fugle skulle flyve over Jorden imod Himmelens udstrakte Befæstning.
21 And God made great sea-beasts, and every sort of living and moving thing with which the waters were full, and every sort of winged bird: and God saw that it was good.
Og Gud skabte de store Havdyr og alle Haande levende Væsener, som krybe, hvilke vrimle i Havet, efter sit Slags og alle Haande Fugle med Vinger efter sit Slags; og Gud saa, at det var godt.
22 And God gave them his blessing, saying, Be fertile and have increase, making all the waters of the seas full, and let the birds be increased in the earth.
Og Gud velsignede dem og sagde: Vorder frugtbare og mangfoldige, og fylder Vandene i Havet, og Fuglene vorde mangfoldige paa Jorden.
23 And there was evening and there was morning, the fifth day.
Og der blev Aften, og der blev Morgen, femte Dag.
24 And God said, Let the earth give birth to all sorts of living things, cattle and all things moving on the earth, and beasts of the earth after their sort: and it was so.
Og Gud sagde: Jorden frembringe levende Dyr efter sit Slags, Fæ og Kryb og vilde Dyr paa Jorden efter sit Slags; og det skete saa.
25 And God made the beast of the earth after its sort, and the cattle after their sort, and everything moving on the face of the earth after its sort: and God saw that it was good.
Og Gud gjorde vilde Dyr paa Jorden efter sit Slags og Fæ efter sit Slags og alle Haande Kryb paa Jorden efter sit Slags; og Gud saa, at det var godt.
26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, like us: and let him have rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the air and over the cattle and over all the earth and over every living thing which goes flat on the earth.
Og Gud sagde: Lader os gøre et Menneske i vort Billede, efter vor Lignelse; og de skulle regere over Havets Fiske og over Himmelens Fugle og over Fæet og over al Jorden og over alt Kryb, som kryber paa Jorden.
27 And God made man in his image, in the image of God he made him: male and female he made them.
Og Gud skabte Mennesket i sit Billede, han skabte det i Guds Billede; Mand og Kvinde skabte han dem.
28 And God gave them his blessing and said to them, Be fertile and have increase, and make the earth full and be masters of it; be rulers over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the air and over every living thing moving on the earth.
Og Gud velsignede dem, og Gud sagde til dem: Vorder frugtbare og mangfoldige, og opfylder Jorden, og gører eder den underdanig, og regerer over Havets Fiske og over Himmelens Fugle og over hvert Dyr, som kryber paa Jorden.
29 And God said, See, I have given you every plant producing seed, on the face of all the earth, and every tree which has fruit producing seed: they will be for your food:
Og Gud sagde: Se, jeg har givet eder alle Urter, som give Sæd, som ere over al Jorden, og alle Haande Træer, i hvilke er Træers Frugt, som have Sæd; de skulle være eder til Føde.
30 And to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the air and every living thing moving on the face of the earth I have given every green plant for food: and it was so.
Og alle Dyr paa Jorden og alle Fugle under Himmelen og alt Kryb paa Jorden, i hvilke er en levende Sjæl, har jeg givet alle Haande grønne Urter til at æde; og det skete saa.
31 And God saw everything which he had made and it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.
Og Gud saa alt det, han havde gjort, og se, det var meget godt; og der blev Aften, og der blev Morgen, den sjette Dag.
