Genesis 1
1 Long, long ago God created the heavens and the earth.
| در ابتدا، خدا آسمانها و زمین را آفرید. | ۱ |
2 When he began to create the earth, it was shapeless and completely desolate/chaotic. Darkness covered the deep water that surrounded the earth. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the water.
| وزمین تهی و بایر بود و تاریکی بر روی لجه. و روح خدا سطح آبها را فرو گرفت. | ۲ |
3 God said, “I want light to shine!” And light shone.
| و خدا گفت: «روشنایی بشود.» و روشنایی شد. | ۳ |
4 God was pleased with the light. Then he made the light to shine in some places, and in other places there was still darkness.
| و خدا روشنایی را دید که نیکوست و خداروشنایی را از تاریکی جدا ساخت. | ۴ |
5 He gave to the light the name ‘day’, and he gave to the darkness the name ‘night’. After that, there was an evening which was followed by a morning. He called that whole period of time ‘the first day’.
| و خداروشنایی را روز نامید و تاریکی را شب نامید. وشام بود و صبح بود، روزی اول. | ۵ |
6 Then God said, “I command that there be an empty space like a huge dome to separate the water that is above it from the water on the earth that is below it!”
| و خدا گفت: «فلکی باشد در میان آبها و آبهارا از آبها جدا کند.» | ۶ |
7 And that is what happened. God gave to the space the name ‘sky’.
| و خدا فلک را بساخت وآبهای زیر فلک را از آبهای بالای فلک جدا کرد. و چنین شد. | ۷ |
8 Then there was another evening, which was followed by another morning. He called that period of time ‘the second day’.
| و خدا فلک را آسمان نامید. و شام بود و صبح بود، روزی دوم. | ۸ |
9 Then God said, “I want the water that is below the sky to come together, and dry ground to appear and rise above the water.” And that is what happened.
| و خدا گفت: «آبهای زیر آسمان در یکجاجمع شود و خشکی ظاهر گردد.» و چنین شد. | ۹ |
10 God gave to the ground the name ‘earth’, and he gave to the water that came together the name ‘oceans’. God was pleased with the earth and the oceans.
| و خدا خشکی را زمین نامید و اجتماع آبها رادریا نامید. و خدا دید که نیکوست. | ۱۰ |
11 Then God said, “I want the earth to produce plants, including plants that will produce seeds and trees that will produce fruit. Each kind of tree will bear its own kind of fruit.”
| و خداگفت: «زمین نباتات برویاند، علفی که تخم بیاوردو درخت میوه‌ای که موافق جنس خود میوه آوردکه تخمش در آن باشد، بر روی زمین.» و چنین شد. | ۱۱ |
12 Then plants grew on the earth; each kind of plant began to produce its own kind of seed.
| و زمین نباتات را رویانید، علفی که موافق جنس خود تخم آورد و درخت میوه داری که تخمش در آن، موافق جنس خود باشد. و خدادید که نیکوست. | ۱۲ |
13 Then there was another evening which was followed by another morning. God called that period of time ‘the third day’.
| و شام بود و صبح بود، روزی سوم. | ۱۳ |
14 Then God said, “I want a sun, a moon, and many stars to shine in the sky. The sun will shine in the daytime and the moon and stars will shine during the nighttime. By the changes in their appearance they will indicate the various seasons (OR, the times for special celebrations), and will enable people to know when days and years begin.
| و خدا گفت: «نیرها در فلک آسمان باشند تاروز را از شب جدا کنند و برای آیات و زمانها وروزها و سالها باشند. | ۱۴ |
15 I want them also to be like lights in the sky that will shine on the earth.” And that is what happened.
| و نیرها در فلک آسمان باشند تا بر زمین روشنایی دهند.» و چنین شد. | ۱۵ |
16 God made two of them that were like big lights. The bigger one, the sun, shines during the day and the smaller one, the moon, shines during the night. He also made the stars.
| و خدا دو نیر بزرگ ساخت، نیر اعظم را برای سلطنت روز و نیر اصغر را برای سلطنت شب، وستارگان را. | ۱۶ |
17 God set all of them in the sky to shine on the earth,
| و خدا آنها را در فلک آسمان گذاشت تا بر زمین روشنایی دهند، | ۱۷ |
18 to rule the day and the night, and to separate the light of the daytime from the darkness of the nighttime. God was pleased with these things he had made.
| و تاسلطنت نمایند بر روز و بر شب، و روشنایی را ازتاریکی جدا کنند. و خدا دید که نیکوست. | ۱۸ |
19 Then there was another evening which was followed by another morning. He called that period of time ‘the fourth day’.
| وشام بود و صبح بود، روزی چهارم. | ۱۹ |
20 Then God said, “I want many creatures to live in all the oceans, and I also want birds to fly in the sky above the earth.”
| و خدا گفت: «آبها به انبوه جانوران پر شودو پرندگان بالای زمین بر روی فلک آسمان پروازکنند.» | ۲۰ |
21 So God created huge sea creatures and every other kind of creature that moves in the water, and caused them to live in all the oceans. He also created many kinds of birds. God was pleased with all those creatures.
| پس خدا نهنگان بزرگ آفرید و همه جانداران خزنده را، که آبها از آنها موافق اجناس آنها پر شد، و همه پرندگان بالدار را به اجناس آنها. و خدا دید که نیکوست. | ۲۱ |
22 God blessed them. He said, “Produce offspring and become very numerous. I want the creatures in the water to live in all the oceans, and birds also to become very numerous.” And that is what happened.
| و خدا آنها رابرکت داده، گفت: «بارور و کثیر شوید و آبهای دریا را پر سازید، و پرندگان در زمین کثیر بشوند.» | ۲۲ |
23 Then there was another evening that was followed by another morning. He called that period of time ‘the fifth day’.
| و شام بود و صبح بود، روزی پنجم. | ۲۳ |
24 Then God said, “I want various kinds of creatures to appear on the earth. There will be many kinds of (livestock/domestic animals), creatures that scurry across the ground, and large wild animals.” And that is what happened.
| و خدا گفت: «زمین، جانوران را موافق اجناس آنها بیرون آورد، بهایم و حشرات وحیوانات زمین به اجناس آنها.» و چنین شد. | ۲۴ |
25 God made all kinds of wild animals and (livestock/domestic animals) and all kinds of creatures that scurry across the ground. God was pleased with all these creatures.
| پس خدا حیوانات زمین را به اجناس آنهابساخت و بهایم را به اجناس آنها و همه حشرات زمین را به اجناس آنها. و خدا دید که نیکوست. | ۲۵ |
26 Then God said, “Now we will make human beings that will be like us in many ways. I want them to rule over the fish in the sea, over the birds, over all the (livestock/domestic animals), and over all the other creatures that scurry across the ground.”
| و خدا گفت: «آدم را بصورت ما و موافق شبیه ما بسازیم تا بر ماهیان دریا و پرندگان آسمان وبهایم و بر تمامی زمین و همه حشراتی که بر زمین می‌خزند، حکومت نماید.» | ۲۶ |
27 So God created human beings that were like him in many ways. He made them to be like himself. He created some to be male and some to be female.
| پس خدا آدم را بصورت خود آفرید. او رابصورت خدا آفرید. ایشان را نر و ماده آفرید. | ۲۷ |
28 God blessed them, saying, “Produce many children, who will live all over the earth and rule over it. I want them to rule over the fish and the birds and over all creatures that scurry across the ground.”
| و خدا ایشان را برکت داد و خدا بدیشان گفت: «بارور و کثیر شوید و زمین را پر سازید و در آن تسلط نمایید، و بر ماهیان دریا و پرندگان آسمان وهمه حیواناتی که بر زمین می‌خزند، حکومت کنید.» | ۲۸ |
29 God said to the humans, “Listen! I have given you all the plants that produce seeds, all over the earth, and all the trees that have seeds in their fruit. All these things are for you to eat.
| و خدا گفت: «همانا همه علف های تخم داری که بر روی تمام زمین است و همه درختهایی که در آنها میوه درخت تخم دار است، به شما دادم تا برای شما خوراک باشد. | ۲۹ |
30 I have given all the green plants to all the wild animals and to the birds and to all the creatures that scurry across the ground, to everything that breathes, for them to eat.” And that is what happened.
| و به همه حیوانات زمین و به همه پرندگان آسمان وبه همه حشرات زمین که در آنها حیات‌است، هر علف سبز را برای خوراک دادم.» و چنین شد. | ۳۰ |
31 God was pleased with everything that he had made. Truly, it was all very good. Then there was another evening, that was followed by another morning. He called that period of time ‘the sixth day’.
| و خدا هر‌چه ساخته بود، دید و همانابسیار نیکو بود. و شام بود و صبح بود، روزششم. | ۳۱ |
