Kejadian 1
1 Pada mulanya, waktu Allah mulai menciptakan alam semesta,
In the beginning God made the heaven and the earth.
2 bumi belum berbentuk, dan masih kacau-balau. Samudra yang bergelora, yang menutupi segala sesuatu, diliputi oleh gelap gulita, tetapi kuasa Allah bergerak di atas permukaan air.
But the earth was unsightly and unfurnished, and darkness was over the deep, and the Spirit of God moved over the water.
3 Allah berkata, "Jadilah terang!" Lalu ada terang.
And God said, Let there be light, and there was light.
4 Allah senang melihat hal itu. Lalu dipisahkan-Nya terang itu dari gelap,
And God saw the light that it was good, and God divided between the light and the darkness.
5 dan dinamakan-Nya terang itu "Siang" dan gelap itu "Malam". Malam lewat, dan jadilah pagi. Itulah hari yang pertama.
And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night, and there was evening and there was morning, the first day.
6 Kemudian Allah berkata, "Jadilah sebuah kubah untuk membagi air itu menjadi dua, dan menahannya dalam dua tempat yang terpisah." Lalu hal itu terjadi. Demikianlah Allah membuat kubah yang memisahkan air yang ada di bawah kubah itu dari air yang ada di atasnya.
And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the water, and let it be a division between water and water, and it was so.
And God made the firmament, and God divided between the water which was under the firmament and the water which was above the firmament.
8 Kubah itu dinamakan-Nya "Langit". Malam lewat dan jadilah pagi. Itulah hari yang kedua.
And God called the firmament Heaven, and God saw that it was good, and there was evening and there was morning, the second day.
9 Kemudian Allah berkata, "Hendaklah air yang ada di bawah langit mengalir ke satu tempat, sehingga tanah akan kelihatan." Lalu hal itu terjadi.
And God said, Let the water which is under the heaven be collected into one place, and let the dry land appear, and it was so. And the water which was under the heaven was collected into its places, and the dry land appeared.
10 Allah menamakan tanah itu "Darat", dan kumpulan air itu dinamakan-Nya "Laut". Dan Allah senang melihat hal itu.
And God called the dry land Earth, and the gatherings of the waters he called Seas, and God saw that it was good.
11 Allah berkata lagi, "Hendaklah tanah mengeluarkan segala macam tumbuh-tumbuhan, yaitu jenis yang menghasilkan biji-bijian dan jenis yang menghasilkan buah-buahan." Lalu hal itu terjadi.
And God said, Let the earth bring forth the herb of grass bearing seed according to its kind and according to its likeness, and the fruit tree bearing fruit whose seed is in it, according to its kind on the earth, and it was so.
12 Demikianlah tanah mengeluarkan segala macam tumbuh-tumbuhan. Dan Allah senang melihat hal itu.
And the earth brought forth the herb of grass bearing seed according to its kind and according to its likeness, and the fruit tree bearing fruit whose seed is in it, according to its kind on the earth, and God saw that it was good.
13 Malam lewat dan jadilah pagi. Itulah hari yang ketiga.
And there was evening and there was morning, the third day.
14 Kemudian Allah berkata, "Hendaklah ada benda-benda terang di langit untuk menerangi bumi, untuk memisahkan siang dari malam, dan untuk menunjukkan saat mulainya hari, tahun, dan hari raya agama." Maka hal itu terjadi.
And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth, to divide between day and night, and let them be for signs and for seasons and for days and for years.
And let them be for light in the firmament of the heaven, so as to shine upon the earth, and it was so.
16 Demikianlah Allah membuat kedua benda terang yang besar, yaitu matahari untuk menguasai siang, dan bulan untuk menguasai malam; selain itu dibuat-Nya juga bintang-bintang.
And God made the two great lights, the greater light for regulating the day and the lesser light for regulating the night, the stars also.
17 Allah menempatkan benda-benda terang itu di langit untuk menerangi bumi,
And God placed them in the firmament of the heaven, so as to shine upon the earth,
18 untuk menguasai siang dan malam, dan untuk memisahkan terang dari gelap. Dan Allah senang melihat hal itu.
and to regulate day and night, and to divide between the light and the darkness. And God saw that it was good.
19 Malam lewat, dan jadilah pagi. Itulah hari yang keempat.
And there was evening and there was morning, the fourth day.
20 Kemudian Allah berkata, "Hendaklah di dalam air berkeriapan banyak macam makhluk hidup, dan di udara beterbangan banyak burung-burung."
And God said, Let the waters bring forth reptiles having life, and winged creatures flying above the earth in the firmament of heaven, and it was so.
21 Maka Allah menciptakan binatang-binatang raksasa laut, dan segala jenis makhluk yang hidup di dalam air, serta segala jenis burung. Dan Allah senang melihat hal itu.
And God made great whales, and every living reptile, which the waters brought forth according to their kinds, and every creature that flies with wings according to its kind, and God saw that they were good.
22 Allah memberkati semuanya itu dengan memberi perintah kepada makhluk yang hidup di dalam air supaya berkembang biak dan memenuhi laut, dan kepada burung-burung supaya bertambah banyak.
And God blessed them saying, Increase and multiply and fill the waters in the seas, and let the creatures that fly be multiplied on the earth.
23 Malam lewat dan jadilah pagi. Itulah hari yang kelima.
And there was evening and there was morning, the fifth day.
24 Kemudian Allah berkata, "Hendaklah bumi mengeluarkan segala jenis binatang darat, yang jinak dan yang liar, besar maupun kecil." Lalu hal itu terjadi.
And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature according to its kind, quadrupeds and reptiles and wild beasts of the earth according to their kind, and it was so.
25 Demikianlah Allah membuat semuanya itu dan ia senang melihat hal itu.
And God made the wild beasts of the earth according to their kind, and cattle according to their kind, and all the reptiles of the earth according to their kind, and God saw that they were good.
26 Kemudian Allah berkata, "Sekarang Kita akan membuat manusia yang akan menjadi seperti Kita dan menyerupai Kita. Mereka akan berkuasa atas ikan-ikan, burung-burung, dan segala binatang lain, baik jinak maupun liar, baik besar maupun kecil."
And God said, Let us make man according to our image and likeness, and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the flying creatures of heaven, and over the cattle and all the earth, and over all the reptiles that creep on the earth.
27 Demikianlah Allah menciptakan manusia, dan dijadikannya mereka seperti diri-Nya sendiri. Diciptakan-Nya mereka laki-laki dan perempuan.
And God made man, according to the image of God he made him, male and female he made them.
28 Kemudian diberkati-Nya mereka dengan ucapan "Beranakcuculah yang banyak, supaya keturunanmu mendiami seluruh muka bumi serta menguasainya. Kamu Kutugaskan mengurus ikan-ikan, burung-burung, dan semua binatang lain yang liar.
And God blessed them, saying, Increase and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the seas and flying creatures of heaven, and all the cattle and all the earth, and all the reptiles that creep on the earth.
29 Untuk makananmu Kuberikan kepadamu segala jenis tumbuhan yang menghasilkan biji-bijian dan buah-buahan.
And God said, Behold I have given to you every seed-bearing herb sowing seed which is upon all the earth, and every tree which has in itself the fruit of seed that is sown, to you it shall be for food.
30 Tetapi kepada segala burung dan binatang liar lainnya, Kuberikan rumput dan tanaman berdaun sebagai makanannya." Maka hal itu terjadi.
And to all the wild beasts of the earth, and to all the flying creatures of heaven, and to every reptile creeping on the earth, which has in itself the breath of life, even every green plant for food; and it was so.
31 Allah memandang segala sesuatu yang telah dibuat-Nya itu, dan Ia sangat senang. Malam lewat dan jadilah pagi. Itulah hari yang keenam.
And God saw all the things that he had made, and, behold, they were very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.
