1 In principio creavit Deus caelum et terram
2 terra autem erat inanis et vacua
et tenebrae super faciem abyssi
et spiritus Dei ferebatur super aquas
3 dixitque Deus
fiat lux et facta est lux
4 et vidit Deus lucem quod esset bona
et divisit lucem ac tenebras
5 appellavitque lucem diem et tenebras noctem
factumque est vespere et mane dies unus
6 dixit quoque Deus
fiat firmamentum in medio aquarum
et dividat aquas ab aquis
7 et fecit Deus firmamentum
divisitque aquas quae erant sub firmamento ab his quae erant super firmamentum
et factum est ita
8 vocavitque Deus firmamentum caelum
et factum est vespere et mane dies secundus
9 dixit vero Deus
congregentur aquae quae sub caelo sunt in locum unum et appareat arida
factumque est ita
10 et vocavit Deus aridam terram
congregationesque aquarum appellavit maria
et vidit Deus quod esset bonum 11 et ait
germinet terra herbam virentem et facientem semen
et lignum pomiferum faciens fructum iuxta genus suum
cuius semen in semet ipso sit super terram
et factum est ita
12 et protulit terra herbam virentem et adferentem semen iuxta genus suum
lignumque faciens fructum
et habens unumquodque sementem secundum speciem suam
et vidit Deus quod esset bonum
13 factumque est vespere et mane dies tertius
14 dixit autem Deus
fiant luminaria in firmamento caeli
ut dividant diem ac noctem
et sint in signa et tempora et dies et annos
15 ut luceant in firmamento caeli et inluminent terram
et factum est ita
16 fecitque Deus duo magna luminaria
luminare maius ut praeesset diei
et luminare minus ut praeesset nocti et stellas
17 et posuit eas in firmamento caeli
ut lucerent super terram 18 et praeessent diei ac nocti
et dividerent lucem ac tenebras
et vidit Deus quod esset bonum
19 et factum est vespere et mane dies quartus
20 dixit etiam Deus
producant aquae reptile animae viventis
et volatile super terram sub firmamento caeli
21 creavitque Deus cete grandia
et omnem animam viventem atque motabilem
quam produxerant aquae in species suas
et omne volatile secundum genus suum
et vidit Deus quod esset bonum
22 benedixitque eis dicens
crescite et multiplicamini et replete aquas maris
avesque multiplicentur super terram
23 et factum est vespere et mane dies quintus
24 dixit quoque Deus
producat terra animam viventem in genere suo
iumenta et reptilia et bestias terrae secundum species suas
factumque est ita
25 et fecit Deus bestias terrae iuxta species suas
et iumenta et omne reptile terrae in genere suo
et vidit Deus quod esset bonum 26 et ait
faciamus hominem ad imaginem et similitudinem nostram
et praesit piscibus maris et volatilibus caeli
et bestiis universaeque terrae
omnique reptili quod movetur in terra
27 et creavit Deus hominem ad imaginem suam
ad imaginem Dei creavit illum
masculum et feminam creavit eos
28 benedixitque illis Deus et ait
crescite et multiplicamini et replete terram et subicite eam
et dominamini piscibus maris et volatilibus caeli
et universis animantibus quae moventur super terram
29 dixitque Deus
ecce dedi vobis omnem herbam adferentem semen super terram
et universa ligna quae habent in semet ipsis sementem generis sui
ut sint vobis in escam 30 et cunctis animantibus terrae
omnique volucri caeli et universis quae moventur in terra
et in quibus est anima vivens ut habeant ad vescendum
et factum est ita
31 viditque Deus cuncta quae fecit et erant valde bona
et factum est vespere et mane dies sextus
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.
