1 Alguses lõi Jumal taevad ja maa.
2 Ja maa oli tühi ja paljas ja pimedus oli sügavuse peal ja Jumala Vaim hõljus vete kohal.
3 Ja Jumal ütles: „Saagu valgus!" Ja valgus sai.
4 Ja Jumal nägi, et valgus oli hea, ja Jumal lahutas valguse pimedusest.
5 Ja Jumal nimetas valguse päevaks ja pimeduse ta nimetas ööks. Siis sai õhtu ja sai hommik, — esimene päev.
6 Ja Jumal ütles: „Saagu laotus vete vahele ja see lahutagu veed vetest!"
7 Ja nõnda sündis: Jumal tegi laotuse ja lahutas veed, mis laotuse all, vetest, mis laotuse peal olid.
8 Ja Jumal nimetas laotuse taevaks. Siis sai õhtu ja sai hommik, — teine päev.
9 Ja Jumal ütles: „Veed kogunegu taeva all ühte paika, et kuiva näha oleks!" Ja nõnda sündis.
10 Ja Jumal nimetas kuiva pinna maaks ja veekogu Ta nimetas mereks. Ja Jumal nägi, et see hea oli.
11 Ja Jumal ütles: „Maast tärgaku haljas rohi, seemet kandvad taimed, viljapuud, mille viljas nende seeme on, nende liikide järgi maa peale!" Ja nõnda sündis:
12 maa laskis võrsuda haljast rohtu, seemet kandvaid taimi nende liikide järgi, ja viljapuid, mille viljas nende seeme on, nende liikide järgi. Ja Jumal nägi, et see hea oli.
13 Siis sai õhtu ja sai hommik, — kolmas päev.
14 Ja Jumal ütles: „Saagu valgused taevalaotusse eraldama päeva ööst! Tähistagu need seatud aegu, päevi ja aastaid,
15 olgu nad valgusteks taevalaotuses, valgustuseks maale!" Ja nõnda sündis:
16 Jumal tegi kaks suurt valgust: suurema valguse valitsema päeval ja väiksema valguse valitsema öösel, ning tähed.
17 Ja Jumal pani need taevalaotusse, et nad valgustaksid maad
18 ja valitseksid päeval ja öösel ja eraldaksid valguse pimedusest. Ja Jumal nägi, et see hea oli.
19 Siis sai õhtu ja sai hommik, — neljas päev.
20 Ja Jumal ütles: „Vesi kihagu elavaist olendeist, ja maa peal lennaku linnud taevalaotuse poole!"
21 Ja Jumal lõi suured mereloomad ja kõiksugu elavad olendid, kellest vesi kihab, nende liikide järgi, ja kõiksugu tiibadega linnud nende liikide järgi. Ja Jumal nägi, et see hea oli.
22 Ja Jumal õnnistas neid ja ütles: „Olge viljakad ja teid saagu palju, täitke mere vesi, ja lindusid saagu palju maa peale!"
23 Siis sai õhtu ja sai hommik, — viies päev.
24 Ja Jumal ütles: „Maa toogu esile elavad olendid nende liikide järgi, lojused ja roomajad ja metselajad nende liikide järgi!" Ja nõnda sündis:
25 Jumal tegi metselajad nende liikide järgi, ja lojused nende liikide järgi, ja kõik roomajad maa peal nende liikide järgi. Ja Jumal nägi, et see hea oli.
26 Ja Jumal ütles: „Tehkem inimesed Oma näo järgi, meie sarnaseks, et nad valitseksid kalade üle meres, lindude üle taeva all, loomade üle ja kogu maa üle ja kõigi roomajate üle, kes maa peal roomavad!",
27 Ja Jumal lõi inimese Oma näo järgi, Jumala näo järgi lõi Ta tema, Ta lõi tema meheks ja naiseks!
28 Ja Jumal õnnistas neid, ja Jumal ütles neile: „Olge viljakad ja teid saagu palju, täitke maa ja alistage see enestele; ja valitsege kalade üle meres, lindude üle taeva all ja kõigi loomade üle, kes maa peal liiguvad!"
29 Ja Jumal ütles: „Vaata, Mina annan teile kõik seemet kandvad taimed kogu maal, ja kõik puud, mis kannavad vilja, milles nende seeme on; need olgu teile roaks.
30 Ja kõigile loomadele maa peal ja kõikidele lindudele taeva all ja kõigile roomajaile maa peal, kelles on elav hing, annan Ma kõiksugu haljast rohtu toiduks!" Ja nõnda sündis.
31 Ja Jumal vaatas kõike, mis Ta oli teinud, ja vaata, see oli väga hea! Siis sai õhtu ja sai hommik, — kuues päev.
1 At the first God made the heaven and the earth.
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.
3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
4 And God, looking on the light, saw that it was good: and God made a division between the light and the dark,
5 Naming the light, Day, and the dark, Night. And there was evening and there was morning, the first day.
6 And God said, Let there be a solid arch stretching over the waters, parting the waters from the waters.
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.
8 And God gave the arch the name of Heaven. And there was evening and there was morning, the second day.
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.
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.
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.
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.
13 And there was evening and there was morning, the third day.
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:
15 And let them be for lights in the arch of heaven to give light on the earth: and it was so.
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.
17 And God put them in the arch of heaven, to give light on the earth;
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.
19 And there was evening and there was morning, the fourth day.
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.
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.
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.
23 And there was evening and there was morning, the fifth day.
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.
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.
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.
27 And God made man in his image, in the image of God he made him: male and female he made them.
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.
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:
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.
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.
