Yaratiliş 1
1 Başlangıçta Tanrı göğü ve yeri yarattı.
At the first God made the heaven and the earth.
2 Yer boştu, yeryüzü şekilleri yoktu; engin karanlıklarla kaplıydı. Tanrı'nın Ruhu suların üzerinde hareket ediyordu.
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.
3 Tanrı, “Işık olsun” diye buyurdu ve ışık oldu.
And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
4 Tanrı ışığın iyi olduğunu gördü ve onu karanlıktan ayırdı.
And God, looking on the light, saw that it was good: and God made a division between the light and the dark,
5 Işığa “Gündüz”, karanlığa “Gece” adını verdi. Akşam oldu, sabah oldu ve ilk gün oluştu.
Naming the light, Day, and the dark, Night. And there was evening and there was morning, the first day.
6 Tanrı, “Suların ortasında bir kubbe olsun, suları birbirinden ayırsın” diye buyurdu.
And God said, Let there be a solid arch stretching over the waters, parting the waters from the waters.
7 Ve öyle oldu. Tanrı gökkubbeyi yarattı. Kubbenin altındaki suları üstündeki sulardan ayırdı.
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.
8 Kubbeye “Gök” adını verdi. Akşam oldu, sabah oldu ve ikinci gün oluştu.
And God gave the arch the name of Heaven. And there was evening and there was morning, the second day.
9 Tanrı, “Göğün altındaki sular bir yere toplansın, kuru toprak görünsün” diye buyurdu ve öyle oldu.
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.
10 Kuru alana “Kara”, toplanan sulara “Deniz” adını verdi. Tanrı bunun iyi olduğunu gördü.
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.
11 Tanrı, “Yeryüzü bitkiler, tohum veren otlar, türüne göre tohumu meyvesinde bulunan meyve ağaçları üretsin” diye buyurdu ve öyle oldu.
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.
12 Yeryüzü bitkiler, türüne göre tohum veren otlar, tohumu meyvesinde bulunan meyve ağaçları yetiştirdi. Tanrı bunun iyi olduğunu gördü.
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.
13 Akşam oldu, sabah oldu ve üçüncü gün oluştu.
And there was evening and there was morning, the third day.
14 Tanrı şöyle buyurdu: “Gökkubbede gündüzü geceden ayıracak, yeryüzünü aydınlatacak ışıklar olsun. Belirtileri, mevsimleri, günleri, yılları göstersin.” Ve öyle oldu.
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:
And let them be for lights in the arch of heaven to give light on the earth: and it was so.
16 Tanrı büyüğü gündüze, küçüğü geceye egemen olacak iki büyük ışığı ve yıldızları yarattı.
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.
17 Yeryüzünü aydınlatmak, gündüze ve geceye egemen olmak, ışığı karanlıktan ayırmak için onları gökkubbeye yerleştirdi. Tanrı bunun iyi olduğunu gördü.
And God put them in the arch of heaven, to give light on the earth;
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.
19 Akşam oldu, sabah oldu ve dördüncü gün oluştu.
And there was evening and there was morning, the fourth day.
20 Tanrı, “Sular canlı yaratıklarla dolup taşsın, yeryüzünün üzerinde, gökte kuşlar uçuşsun” diye buyurdu.
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.
21 Tanrı büyük deniz canavarlarını, sularda kaynaşan canlıları ve uçan çeşitli varlıkları yarattı. Bunun iyi olduğunu gördü.
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.
22 Tanrı, “Verimli olun, çoğalın, denizleri doldurun, yeryüzünde kuşlar çoğalsın” diyerek onları kutsadı.
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.
23 Akşam oldu, sabah oldu ve beşinci gün oluştu.
And there was evening and there was morning, the fifth day.
24 Tanrı, “Yeryüzü çeşit çeşit canlı yaratık, evcil ve yabanıl hayvan, sürüngen türetsin” diye buyurdu. Ve öyle oldu.
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.
25 Tanrı çeşit çeşit yabanıl hayvan, evcil hayvan, sürüngen yarattı. Bunun iyi olduğunu gördü.
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.
26 Tanrı, “Kendi suretimizde, kendimize benzer insan yaratalım” dedi, “Denizdeki balıklara, gökteki kuşlara, evcil hayvanlara, sürüngenlere, yeryüzünün tümüne egemen olsun.”
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.
27 Tanrı insanı kendi suretinde yarattı, onu Tanrı'nın suretinde yarattı. Onları erkek ve dişi olarak yarattı.
And God made man in his image, in the image of God he made him: male and female he made them.
28 Onları kutsayarak, “Verimli olun, çoğalın” dedi, “Yeryüzünü doldurun ve denetiminize alın; denizdeki balıklara, gökteki kuşlara, yeryüzünde yaşayan bütün canlılara egemen olun.
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.
29 İşte yeryüzünde tohum veren her otu, tohumu meyvesinde bulunan her meyve ağacını size veriyorum. Bunlar size yiyecek olacak.
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:
30 Yabanıl hayvanlara, gökteki kuşlara, sürüngenlere –soluk alıp veren bütün hayvanlara– yiyecek olarak yeşil otları veriyorum.” Ve öyle oldu.
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.
31 Tanrı yarattıklarına baktı ve her şeyin çok iyi olduğunu gördü. Akşam oldu, sabah oldu ve altıncı gün oluştu.
And God saw everything which he had made and it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.
