Сътворението

1 В начало Бог сътвори небето и земята. 2 А земята тогава беше безформена и пуста, тъмнина обгръщаше бездната и Божият Дух се носеше над водите. 3 Бог каза: „Да бъде светлина.“ И се появи светлина. 4 И Бог видя, че светлината е добро нещо, и Той отдели светлината от тъмнината. 5 И Бог нарече светлината ден, а тъмнината нарече нощ. Така настана вечер, настана утро – ден един. 6 И Бог каза: „Нека има предел посред водите, който да отделя вода от вода.“ 7 И Бог създаде предела, и отдели водата, която беше под предела, от водата над предела. 8 Бог нарече предела небе. Така настана вечер, настана утро – втори ден. 9 И Бог каза: „Нека водата под небето се събере на едно място и да се появи сушата.“ И стана така. 10 Бог нарече сушата земя, а събраните води – морета. И Бог видя, че това е нещо добро. 11 И каза Бог: „Нека земята произведе свежа зеленина, растения, които дават семе, и дървета, които раждат плод, чието семе е в него, според вида си по земята.“ И така стана. 12 Земята произведе свежа зеленина, растения, които дават семе, и дървета, които раждат плод, чието семе е в него, според вида си. И Бог видя, че това е добро нещо. 13 Така настана вечер, настана утро – трети ден. 14 И Бог каза: „Нека има светила по небесния предел и да разграничават ден и нощ, и да са знаци за годишни времена, за дни и за години, 15 и те да бъдат светила на небесния предел, за да светят на земята.“ И стана така. 16 И Бог създаде двете големи светила: по-голямото светило да определя деня и по-малкото светило да определя нощта, както и звездите. 17 И Бог ги постави на небесния предел, за да светят на земята, 18 да определят деня и нощта и да отделят светлина от тъмнина. И Бог видя, че това беше добро нещо. 19 Така настана вечер, настана утро – четвърти ден. 20 И Бог каза: „Нека водите произведат множество живи същества и птици да полетят над земята и към небесния предел.“ 21 И Бог сътвори големите морски животни и всякакъв вид живи същества, които пълзят и каквито водите произведоха, и всякакви крилати птици. И Бог видя, че това е добро. 22 И Бог ги благослови с думите: „Плодете се и се размножавайте, и пълнете водите и моретата, и птиците да се размножават по земята.“ 23 Така настана вечер, настана утро – пети ден. 24 И Бог каза: „Нека земята произведе живи същества според вида им: добитък, влечуги и земни зверове според вида им.“ И стана така. 25 И Бог създаде земните зверове според вида им, различен по вид добитък, влечуги и земни зверове според вида им. И Бог видя, че това е добро. 26 След това Бог каза: „Да сътворим човека по Наш образ, по Наше подобие; и нека властва над рибите в морето, над птиците в небето, над добитъка и над цялата земя, над всички влечуги, които пълзят по земята.“ 27 И Бог сътвори човека по Свой образ, по Божия образ го сътвори, мъж и жена ги сътвори. 28 И Бог ги благослови с думите: „Плодете се и се размножавайте, пълнете земята и я обладавайте, и владейте над рибите в морето, над птиците в небето и над всичките живи същества, които пълзят по земята.“ 29 И Бог каза: „Ето давам ви за храна всяко растение по земята, което дава семе, и всяко дърво, което дава плод, 30 а на всички животни по земята и на всички птици в небето, и на всяко живо същество, което пълзи по земята, давам за храна всяка зеленина и трева.“ Така и стана. 31 И Бог видя всичко, което Той създаде; и ето то беше твърде добро. И настана вечер, настана утро – шести ден.

The beginning

1 In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. 2 The earth didn’t have any shape. And it was empty. There was darkness over the surface of the waves. At that time, the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. 3 God said, ‘Let there be light.’ And there was light. 4 God saw that the light was good. He separated the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light ‘day’. He called the darkness ‘night’. There was evening, and there was morning. It was day one. 6 God said, ‘Let there be a huge space between the waters. Let it separate water from water.’ 7 And that’s exactly what happened. God made the huge space between the waters. He separated the water under the space from the water above it. 8 God called the huge space ‘sky’. There was evening, and there was morning. It was day two. 9 God said, ‘Let the water under the sky be gathered into one place. Let dry ground appear.’ And that’s exactly what happened. 10 God called the dry ground ‘land’. He called all the water that was gathered together ‘seas’. And God saw that it was good. 11 Then God said, ‘Let the land produce plants. Let them produce their own seeds. And let there be trees on the land that grow fruit with seeds in it. Let each kind of plant or tree have its own kind of seeds.’ And that’s exactly what happened. 12 So the land produced plants. Each kind of plant had its own kind of seeds. And the land produced trees that grew fruit with seeds in it. Each kind of tree had its own kind of seeds. God saw that it was good. 13 There was evening, and there was morning. It was day three. 14 God said, ‘Let there be lights in the huge space of the sky. Let them separate the day from the night. Let the lights set the times for the holy celebrations and the days and the years. 15 Let them be lights in the huge space of the sky to give light on the earth.’ And that’s exactly what happened. 16 God made two great lights. He made the larger light to rule over the day and the smaller light to rule over the night. He also made the stars. 17 God put the lights in the huge space of the sky to give light on the earth. 18 He put them there to rule over the day and the night. He put them there to separate light from darkness. God saw that it was good. 19 There was evening, and there was morning. It was day four. 20 God said, ‘Let the seas be filled with living things. Let birds fly above the earth across the huge space of the sky.’ 21 So God created the great sea creatures. He created every kind of living thing that fills the seas and moves about in them. He created every kind of bird that flies. And God saw that it was good. 22 God blessed them. He said, ‘Have little ones so that there will be many of you. Fill the water in the seas. Let there be more and more birds on the earth.’ 23 There was evening, and there was morning. It was day five. 24 God said, ‘Let the land produce every kind of living creature. Let there be livestock, and creatures that move along the ground, and wild animals.’ And that’s exactly what happened. 25 God made every kind of wild animal. He made every kind of livestock. He made every kind of creature that moves along the ground. And God saw that it was good. 26 Then God said, ‘Let us make human beings so that they are like us. Let them rule over the fish in the seas and the birds in the sky. Let them rule over the livestock and all the wild animals. And let them rule over all the creatures that move along the ground.’ 27 So God created human beings in his own likeness. He created them to be like himself. He created them as male and female. 28 God blessed them. He said to them, ‘Have children so that there will be many of you. Fill the earth and bring it under your control. Rule over the fish in the seas and the birds in the sky. Rule over every living creature that moves along the ground.’ 29 Then God said, ‘I am giving you every plant on the face of the whole earth that produces its own seeds. I am giving you every tree that has fruit with seeds in it. All of them will be given to you for food. 30 I am giving every green plant as food for all the land animals and for all the birds in the sky. I am also giving the plants to all the creatures that move along the ground. I am giving them to every living thing that breathes.’ And that’s exactly what happened. 31 God saw everything he had made. And it was very good. There was evening, and there was morning. It was day six.
