Genesis 1

1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

1 太初，上帝创造了天地。

2 Now the earth was formless and void, and darkness was over the surface of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the waters.

2 那时，大地空虚混沌，黑暗笼罩着深渊，上帝的灵运行在水面上。

3 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.

3 上帝说：“要有光！”就有了光。

4 And God saw that the light was good, and He separated the light from the darkness.

4 上帝看光是好的，就把光和黑暗分开。

5 God called the light “day,” and the darkness He called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day.

5 上帝称光为昼，称黑暗为夜。晚上过去，早晨到来，这是第一日 。

6 And God said, “Let there be an expanse between the waters, to separate the waters from the waters.”

6 上帝说：“水与水之间要有穹苍，把水分开。”

7 So God made the expanse and separated the waters beneath it from the waters above. And it was so.

7 果然如此。上帝造了穹苍，将穹苍之下的水和穹苍之上的水分开。

8 God called the expanse “sky.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the second day.

8 上帝称穹苍为天空。晚上过去，早晨到来，这是第二日。

9 And God said, “Let the waters under the sky be gathered into one place, so that the dry land may appear.” And it was so.

9 上帝说：“天空下面的水要聚在一处，使干地露出来。”果然如此。

10 God called the dry land “earth,” and the gathering of waters He called “seas.” And God saw that it was good.

10 上帝称干地为陆地，称汇聚的水为海洋。上帝看了，觉得美好。

11 Then God said, “Let the earth bring forth vegetation: seed-bearing plants and fruit trees, each bearing fruit with seed according to its kind.” And it was so.

11 上帝说：“陆地要长出植物——各类结种子的菜蔬和结果子的树木，果子内都有籽。”果然如此，

12 The earth produced vegetation: seed-bearing plants according to their kinds and trees bearing fruit with seed according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good.

12 陆地长出了植物——各类结种子的菜蔬和结果子的树木，果子内都有籽。上帝看了，觉得美好。

13 And there was evening, and there was morning—the third day.

13 晚上过去，早晨到来，这是第三日。

14 And God said, “Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky to distinguish between the day and the night, and let them be signs to mark the seasons and days and years.

14 上帝说：“天空要有光体，以区分昼夜，作记号，定节令，计算年日，

15 And let them serve as lights in the expanse of the sky to shine upon the earth.” And it was so.

15 在天空发光，普照大地。”果然如此。

16 God made two great lights: the greater light to rule the day and the lesser light to rule the night. And He made the stars as well.

16 上帝造了两个大光体，大的管昼，小的管夜，又造了星辰。

17 God set these lights in the expanse of the sky to shine upon the earth,

17 上帝把这些光体摆列在天空，让它们发光普照大地，

18 to preside over the day and the night, and to separate the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good.

18 管理昼夜，分开光和黑暗。上帝看了，觉得美好。

19 And there was evening, and there was morning—the fourth day.

19 晚上过去，早晨到来，这是第四日。

20 And God said, “Let the waters teem with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth in the open expanse of the sky.”

20 上帝说：“水中要充满各种动物，空中要有禽鸟飞翔。”

21 So God created the great sea creatures and every living thing that moves, with which the waters teemed according to their kinds, and every winged bird after its kind. And God saw that it was good.

21 上帝就创造了海中的大鱼等各类水族和各类禽鸟。上帝看了，觉得美好。

22 Then God blessed them and said, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the waters of the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth.”

22 上帝赐福给这一切生物，说：“水族要多多地生养繁衍，充满海洋，禽鸟也要在地上多多地繁衍。”

23 And there was evening, and there was morning—the fifth day.

23 晚上过去，早晨到来，这是第五日。

24 And God said, “Let the earth bring forth living creatures according to their kinds: livestock, land crawlers, and beasts of the earth according to their kinds.” And it was so.

24 上帝说：“大地要繁衍各类动物——各类的牲畜、爬虫和野兽。”果然如此。

25 God made the beasts of the earth according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and everything that crawls upon the earth according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.

25 上帝造了地上的各类野兽、牲畜和爬虫。上帝看了，觉得美好。

26 Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, after Our likeness, to rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, and over all the earth itself and every creature that crawls upon it.”

26 上帝说：“我们要照着我们的形象，按着我们的样式造人，让他们管理海里的鱼、空中的鸟和地上的牲畜及一切爬虫。”

27 So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.

27 上帝就照着自己的形象造了人，祂照着自己的形象造了男人和女人。

28 God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it; rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and every creature that crawls upon the earth.”

28 上帝赐福给他们，对他们说：“你们要生养众多，遍满地面，治理大地，管理海里的鱼、空中的鸟以及地上的各种动物。”

29 Then God said, “Behold, I have given you every seed-bearing plant on the face of all the earth, and every tree whose fruit contains seed. They will be yours for food.

29 上帝说：“看啊，我把地上所有结种子的谷蔬和所有树上有籽的果子都赐给你们作食物。

30 And to every beast of the earth and every bird of the air and every creature that crawls upon the earth—everything that has the breath of life in it—I have given every green plant for food.” And it was so.

30 我把绿色植物赐给所有地上的走兽、空中的飞鸟及地上的爬虫等有气息的动物作食物。”果然如此。

31 And God looked upon all that He had made, and indeed, it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the sixth day.

31 上帝看了祂所造的一切，觉得非常美好。晚上过去，早晨到来，这是第六日。
