Genesis 1
1 In principio creavit Deus cælum, et terram.
In the beginning God created the heauen and the earth.
2 Terra autem erat inanis et vacua, et tenebræ erant super faciem abyssi: et Spiritus Dei ferebatur super aquas.
And the earth was without forme and void, and darkenesse was vpon the deepe, and the Spirit of God mooued vpon the waters.
3 Dixitque Deus: Fiat lux. Et facta est lux.
Then God said, Let there be light: And there was light.
4 Et vidit Deus lucem quod esset bona: et divisit lucem a tenebris.
And God saw the light that it was good, and God separated the light from the darkenes.
5 Appellavitque lucem Diem, et tenebras Noctem: factumque est vespere et mane, dies unus.
And God called the Light, Day, and the darkenes, he called Night. So the euening and the morning were the first day.
6 Dixit quoque Deus: Fiat firmamentum in medio aquarum: et dividat aquas ab aquis.
Againe God said, Let there be a firmament in the mids of the waters: and let it separate the waters from the waters.
7 Et fecit Deus firmamentum, divisitque aquas, quæ erant sub firmamento, ab his, quæ erant super firmamentum. Et factum est ita.
Then God made the firmament, and separated the waters, which were vnder the firmament, from the waters which were aboue the firmament: and it was so.
8 Vocavitque Deus firmamentum, Cælum: et factum est vespere et mane, dies secundus.
And God called the firmament Heauen. So the Euening and the morning were the second day.
9 Dixit vero Deus: Congregentur aquæ, quæ sub cælo sunt, in locum unum: et appareat arida. Et factum est ita.
God said againe, Let the waters vnder the heauen be gathered into one place, and let the dry land appeare. and it was so.
10 Et vocavit Deus aridam, Terram, congregationesque aquarum appellavit Maria. Et vidit Deus quod esset bonum.
And God called the dry land, Earth, and he called the gathering together of the waters, Seas: and God saw that it was good.
11 Et ait: Germinet terra herbam virentem, et facientem semen, et lignum pomiferum faciens fructum iuxta genus suum, cuius semen in semetipso sit super terram. Et factum est ita.
Then God said, Let the earth bud forth the bud of the herbe, that seedeth seed, the fruitfull tree, which beareth fruite according to his kinde, which hath his seede in it selfe vpon the earth: and it was so.
12 Et protulit terra herbam virentem, et facientem semen iuxta genus suum, lignumque faciens fructum, et habens unumquodque sementem secundum speciem suam. Et vidit Deus quod esset bonum.
And the earth brought foorth the bud of the herbe, that seedeth seede according to his kind, also the tree that beareth fruit, which hath his seed in it selfe according to his kinde: and God saw that it was good.
13 Et factum est vespere et mane, dies tertius.
So the euening and the morning were the third day.
14 Dixit autem Deus: Fiant luminaria in firmamento cæli, et dividant diem ac noctem, et sint in signa et tempora, et dies et annos:
And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heauen, to separate the day from the night, and let them be for signes, and for seasons, and for dayes and yeeres.
15 ut luceant in firmamento cæli, et illuminent terram. Et factum est ita.
And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heauen to giue light vpon the earth: and it was so.
16 Fecitque Deus duo luminaria magna: luminare maius, ut præesset diei: et luminare minus, ut præesset nocti: et stellas.
God then made two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesse light to rule the night: he made also the starres.
17 Et posuit eas in firmamento cæli, ut lucerent super terram,
And God set them in the firmament of the heauen, to shine vpon the earth,
18 et præessent diei ac nocti, et dividerent lucem ac tenebras. Et vidit Deus quod esset bonum.
And to rule in the day, and in the night, and to separate the light from the darkenesse: and God saw that it was good.
19 Et factum est vespere et mane, dies quartus.
So the euening and the morning were the fourth day.
20 Dixit etiam Deus: Producant aquæ reptile animæ viventis, et volatile super terram sub firmamento cæli.
Afterward God said, Let the waters bring foorth in abundance euery creeping thing that hath life: and let the foule flie vpon the earth in the open firmament of the heauen.
21 Creavitque Deus cete grandia, et omnem animam viventem atque motabilem, quam produxerant aquæ in species suas, et omne volatile secundum genus suum. Et vidit Deus quod esset bonum.
Then God created the great whales, and euery thing liuing and mouing, which the waters brought foorth in abundance according to their kinde, and euery fethered foule according to his kinde: and God sawe that it was good.
22 Benedixitque eis, dicens: Crescite, et multiplicamini, et replete aquas maris: avesque multiplicentur super terram.
Then God blessed them, saying, Bring foorth fruite and multiplie, and fill the waters in the seas, and let the foule multiplie in the earth.
23 Et factum est vespere et mane, dies quintus.
So the euening and the morning were the fifte day.
24 Dixit quoque Deus: Producat terra animam viventem in genere suo, iumenta, et reptilia, et bestias terræ secundum species suas. Factumque est ita.
Moreouer God said, Let the earth bring foorth the liuing thing according to his kinde, cattel, and that which creepeth, and the beast of the earth, according to his kinde. and it was so.
25 Et fecit Deus bestias terræ iuxta species suas, et iumenta, et omne reptile terræ in genere suo. Et vidit Deus quod esset bonum.
And God made the beast of the earth according to his kinde, and the cattell according to his kinde, and euery creeping thing of the earth according to his kind: and God saw that it was good.
26 Et ait: Faciamus Hominem ad imaginem, et similitudinem nostram: et præsit piscibus maris, et volatilibus cæli, et bestiis, universæque terræ, omnique reptili, quod movetur in terra.
Furthermore God said, Let vs make man in our image according to our likenes, and let them rule ouer the fish of the sea, and ouer the foule of the heauen, and ouer the beastes, and ouer all the earth, and ouer euery thing that creepeth and moueth on the earth.
27 Et creavit Deus hominem ad imaginem suam: ad imaginem Dei creavit illum, masculum et feminam creavit eos.
Thus God created the man in his image: in the image of God created he him: he created them male and female.
28 Benedixitque illis Deus, et ait: Crescite et multiplicamini, et replete terram, et subiicite eam, et dominamini piscibus maris, et volatilibus cæli, et universis animantibus, quæ moventur super terram.
And God blessed them, and God said to them, Bring forth fruite and multiplie, and fill the earth, and subdue it, and rule ouer the fish of the sea, and ouer the foule of the heauen, and ouer euery beast that moueth vpon the earth.
29 Dixitque Deus: Ecce dedi vobis omnem herbam afferentem semen super terram, et universa ligna quæ habent in semetipsis sementem generis sui, ut sint vobis in escam:
And God said, Beholde, I haue giuen vnto you euery herbe bearing seede, which is vpon al the earth, and euery tree, wherein is the fruite of a tree bearing seede: that shall be to you for meate.
30 et cunctis animantibus terræ, omnique volucri cæli, et universis quæ moventur in terra, et in quibus est anima vivens, ut habeant ad vescendum. Et factum est ita.
Likewise to euery beast of the earth, and to euery foule of the heauen, and to euery thing that moueth vpon the earth, which hath life in it selfe, euery greene herbe shall be for meate. and it was so.
31 Viditque Deus cuncta quæ fecerat: et erant valde bona. Et factum est vespere et mane, dies sextus.
And God sawe all that he had made, and loe, it was very good. So the euening and the morning were the sixt day.
