1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. 4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. 5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.
6 ¶ And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. 7 And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so. 8 And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.
9 ¶ And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so. 10 And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good. 11 And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so. 12 And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good. 13 And the evening and the morning were the third day.
14 ¶ And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: 15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so. 16 And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also. 17 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth, 18 And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good. 19 And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.
20 And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. 21 And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good. 22 And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth. 23 And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.
24 ¶ And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so. 25 And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
26 ¶ And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. 28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
29 ¶ And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. 30 And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so. 31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
Pasaules radīšana
(1Moz 2:4b–9Īj 38:4–11Jņ 1:1–5)1 Sākumā Dievs radīja debesis un zemi. 2 Un zeme bija tukšum tukša, tumsa bija pār dzīlēm, un Dieva gars lidinājās pār ūdeņiem. 3 Un Dievs teica: “Lai top gaisma!” Un tapa gaisma. 4 Un Dievs redzēja gaismu, ka tā laba, un viņš nošķīra gaismu no tumsas. 5 Un Dievs nosauca gaismu par dienu, un tumsu viņš nosauca par nakti. Un bija vakars, un bija rīts – viena diena.
6 Un Dievs teica: “Lai top debesjums starp ūdeņiem, un tas lai nošķir ūdeņus no ūdeņiem!” 7 Un Dievs taisīja debesjumu un šķīra ūdeņus, kas bija zem debesjuma, no ūdeņiem, kas bija virs debesjuma, – un tā ir. 8 Un Dievs nosauca debesjumu par debesīm. Un bija vakars, un bija rīts – otrā diena.
9 Un Dievs teica: “Lai visi ūdeņi zem debesīm saplūst vienuviet, ka top redzama sauszeme!” – un tā ir. 10 Un Dievs nosauca sauszemi par zemi, bet ūdeņu saplūdumu viņš nosauca par jūrām, un Dievs redzēja, ka tā labi. 11 Un Dievs teica: “Lai uz zemes sazaļo augi – stādi, kas briedina sēklu, un augļu koki, kas nes augļus, kam ir sēkla, katrs pēc sava veida, lai ir uz zemes.” Un tā ir. 12 Un zeme deva augus – stādus, kas briedina sēklu, katru pēc sava veida, un kokus, kas nes augļus, kuros ir sēkla, katru pēc sava veida, un Dievs redzēja, ka tā labi. 13 Un bija vakars, un bija rīts – trešā diena.
14 Un Dievs teica: “Lai debesjumā top gaismekļi, lai tie nošķir dienu no nakts, lai tie ir zīmes, kas rāda laiku mijas, dienas un gadus, 15 un lai gaismekļi debesjumā dod zemei gaismu!” Un tā ir. 16 Un Dievs taisīja divus lielus gaismekļus – lielāko gaismekli, lai valda pār dienu, un mazāko gaismekli, lai valda pār nakti, – un zvaigznes. 17 Un Dievs ielika tos debesjumā, lai dod zemei gaismu, 18 lai valda pār dienu un pār nakti un lai nošķir gaismu no tumsas. Un Dievs redzēja, ka tā labi. 19 Un bija vakars, un bija rīts – ceturtā diena.
20 Un Dievs teica: “Lai ūdenī mudžēt mudž dzīvas būtnes, un pār zemi lai lido putni, zem debesjuma!” 21 Un Dievs radīja lielus zvērus un visādas dzīvas būtnes, kas rāpo un mudž ūdenī, katru pēc sava veida, un visus spārnainus putnus, katru pēc sava veida, un Dievs redzēja, ka tā labi. 22 Un Dievs svētīja viņus, sacīdams: “Augļojieties un vairojieties, un piepildiet ūdeņus jūrās, bet putni lai vairojas uz zemes!” 23 Un bija vakars, un bija rīts – piektā diena.
24 Un Dievs teica: “Lai rodas uz zemes dzīvas būtnes, katra pēc sava veida – lopi un rāpuļi, un zemes zvēri, katrs pēc sava veida!” Un tā ir. 25 Un Dievs taisīja zemes zvērus, katru pēc sava veida, un lopus, katru pēc sava veida, un visus, kas rāpo pa zemi, katru pēc sava veida, un Dievs redzēja, ka tā labi.
26 Un Dievs teica: “Taisīsim cilvēku pēc mūsu tēla, pēc mūsu līdzības, lai tas valda pār zivīm jūrā un pār putniem debesīs, un pār lopiem, un pār visu zemi, un pār visiem rāpuļiem, kas rāpo pa zemi!” 27 Un Dievs radīja cilvēku pēc sava tēla, pēc Dieva tēla viņš radīja to – vīrieti un sievieti viņš radīja! 28 Un Dievs viņus svētīja un teica: “Augļojieties un vairojieties, piepildiet zemi un pakļaujiet to – valdiet pār zivīm jūrā un putniem debesīs, pār visu, kas dzīvs un rāpo pa zemi!” 29 Un Dievs teica: “Redzi, es jums dodu visus stādus, kas briedina sēklu, kas ir uz visas zemes, un visus kokus, kuru augļi briedina sēklu, – tie ir jūsu ēdamais! 30 Un visiem zemes zvēriem un debesu putniem, un visiem, kas rāpo pa zemi, kam dzīvības elpa, lai ir par barību visādi zaļoksni stādi!” Un tā ir. 31 Un Dievs redzēja visu, ko bija darījis, un, redzi, tas bija ļoti labi! Un bija vakars, un bija rīts – sestā diena.
