Bibelen på hverdagsdansk

1 På den måde blev himlen og jorden og alt liv skabt. 2 Skaberværket var nu fuldført, og Gud hvilede på den syvende dag. 3 Han velsignede den og indviede den til hviledag.

Hvordan Gud skaber de to første mennesker

4 Da Gud skabte verden, 5 var der først ingen grønne planter eller buske på jorden, for han havde endnu ikke ladet det regne. Der var heller ingen mennesker til at dyrke jorden. 6 Men der vældede vand frem af jorden og vandede dens overflade. 7 Så formede Gud et menneske af jorden og blæste livsånde i dets næsebor, så det blev et levende væsen. 8 Gud havde plantet en have i Eden mod øst, og dér anbragte han nu det menneske, som han havde skabt. 9 Gud havde plantet alle slags smukke træer i haven, træer med en mængde frugt. Midt i haven stod livets træ og træet, der giver kendskab til både godt og ondt. 10 I Eden udsprang en flod, som vandede haven. Uden for haven delte den sig i fire mindre floder. 11 Den første flod hedder Pishon. Den bugter sig omkring landet Havila, hvor der findes guld 12 af fin kvalitet samt bedellium^[1] og ædelsten. 13 Den anden flod kaldes Gihon. Den løber gennem landet Kush. 14 Den tredje flod kaldes Tigris. Den løber langs med Assyriens østgrænse. Den fjerde flod kaldes Eufrat. 15 Gud satte mennesket, Adam, i Edens have, for at han skulle passe den, 16-17 og han sagde til ham: „Du må spise frugten fra alle træerne i haven undtagen det træ, som giver kendskab til både godt og ondt. Hvis du spiser af den frugt, skal du dø.” 18 Derpå sagde Gud: „Det er ikke godt for Adam at være alene. Jeg vil give ham en livsledsager,^[2] der passer til ham.” 19 Gud havde af jorden formet alle slags dyr og fugle. Dem førte han nu hen til Adam for at se, hvad han ville kalde dem; og hvad Adam kaldte dem, blev deres navn. 20 Adam navngav alle fuglene og de vilde og tamme dyr, men han fandt ikke nogen passende ledsager iblandt dem. 21 Derfor lod Gud Adam falde i en dyb søvn. Mens han sov, tog Gud et af hans ribben og lukkede stedet til igen med kød. 22 Af ribbenet byggede han en kvinde og førte hende hen til Adam. 23 „Ja!” udbrød Adam. „Det er knogler af mine knogler og kød af mit kød! Hun skal hedde kvinde, for hun er taget ud af manden.^[3]” 24 Derfor skal en mand forlade sin far og mor og knytte sig nært til sin kone, og de to skal blive ét. 25 Adam og hans kone var begge nøgne, men de skammede sig ikke over deres nøgenhed.

King James Version

1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. 2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. 3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made. 4 These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens, 5 And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground. 6 But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground. 7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. 8 And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed. 9 And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil. 10 And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads. 11 The name of the first is Pison: that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold; 12 And the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone. 13 And the name of the second river is Gihon: the same is it that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia. 14 And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: that is it which goeth toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth river is Euphrates. 15 And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it. 16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: 17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. 18 And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. 19 And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof. 20 And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him. 21 And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; 22 And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. 23 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. 24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. 25 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
