Yaratılış 1

¹Başlangıçta Tanrı göğü ve yeryüzünü inşa etti.

²Yeryüzü ise form almamış ve düzenlenmemiş bir haldeydi; dipsiz derinliğin üzerinde karanlık hüküm sürüyordu ve Tanrı'nın Ruhu suların üzerinde geziniyordu.

³Ve Tanrı, "Işık meydana gelsin" diye buyurdu ve ışık meydana geldi.

⁴Tanrı ışığın yetkin ve güzel olduğunu gördü; böylece Tanrı ışığı karanlıktan ayırdı.

⁵Tanrı ışığı "Gündüz" olarak adlandırdı, karanlığı ise "Gece" diye isimlendirdi. Akşam oldu ve sabah oldu; böylece tek bir gün tamamlandı.

⁶Ve Tanrı, "Suların ortasında katı bir kubbe meydana gelsin ve suları sulardan ayırsın" diye buyurdu ve bu şekilde gerçekleşti.

⁷Tanrı katı kubbeyi inşa etti ve kubbenin altında kalan suları, kubbenin üzerinde olan sulardan ayırdı.

⁸Tanrı bu katı kubbeye "Gök" adını verdi. Ve Tanrı bunun yetkin olduğunu gördü. Akşam oldu ve sabah oldu; ikinci gün tamamlandı.

⁹Ve Tanrı, "Göğün altındaki sular tek bir birikme yerinde toplansın ve kuru toprak görünsün" diye buyurdu ve bu şekilde gerçekleşti; göğün altındaki sular kendi toplandıkları yerlerde birikti ve kuru toprak göründü.

¹⁰Tanrı kuru toprağa "Kara" adını verdi, bir araya gelen sulara ise "Denizler" dedi. Ve Tanrı bunun yetkin olduğunu gördü.

¹¹Ve Tanrı, "Yeryüzü, cinsine ve benzerliğine göre tohum saçan yeşil otlar ve yeryüzünde cinsine göre tohumu kendi içinde olan meyve veren meyve ağaçları filizlendirsin" diye buyurdu ve bu şekilde gerçekleşti.

¹²Yeryüzü, cinsine ve benzerliğine göre tohum saçan yeşil otlar ve yeryüzünde cinsine göre tohumu kendi içinde olan meyve veren meyve ağaçları çıkardı. Ve Tanrı bunun yetkin olduğunu gördü.

¹³Akşam oldu ve sabah oldu; üçüncü gün tamamlandı.

¹⁴Ve Tanrı, "Yeryüzünü aydınlatmak, gündüzü geceden ayırmak için gök kubbesinde ışık saçan gök cisimleri meydana gelsin; bunlar işaretler, belirlenmiş zamanlar, günler ve yıllar için olsun" diye buyurdu.

¹⁵"Ve yeryüzüne ışık vermek üzere gök kubbesinde parıldayan ışıklar olsun." Ve bu şekilde gerçekleşti.

¹⁶Tanrı iki büyük ışık kaynağını inşa etti; büyük olan ışığı gündüzün yönetimi için, daha küçük olan ışığı ise gecenin yönetimi için yaptı; yıldızları da meydana getirdi.

¹⁷Tanrı yeryüzünü aydınlatmaları için onları gök kubbesine yerleştirdi;

¹⁸gündüze ve geceye egemen olmaları, ışığı karanlıktan ayırmaları için onları atadı. Ve Tanrı bunun yetkin olduğunu gördü.

¹⁹Akşam oldu ve sabah oldu; dördüncü gün tamamlandı.

²⁰Ve Tanrı, "Sular yaşayan canların sürüngenlerini çıkarsın ve yeryüzünün üzerinde, gök kubbesi boyunca uçan kanatlılar uçuşsun" diye buyurdu ve bu şekilde gerçekleşti.

²¹Tanrı büyük deniz canavarlarını, suların kendi cinslerine göre çıkardığı her tür canlı sürüngen ruhu ve cinsine göre her kanatlı kuşu biçimlendirdi. Ve Tanrı bunların yetkin olduğunu gördü.

²²Tanrı onları kutsayarak şöyle dedi: "Gelişin, çoğalın ve denizlerdeki suları doldurun; kuşlar da yeryüzünde çoğalsın."

²³Akşam oldu ve sabah oldu; beşinci gün tamamlandı.

²⁴Ve Tanrı, "Yeryüzü, cinsine göre yaşayan canlar; cinsine göre dört ayaklılar, sürüngenler ve yeryüzünün vahşi hayvanlarını çıkarsın" diye buyurdu ve bu şekilde gerçekleşti.

²⁵Tanrı yeryüzünün vahşi hayvanlarını cinslerine göre, evcil hayvanları cinslerine göre ve yeryüzünün tüm sürüngenlerini kendi cinslerine göre yaptı. Ve Tanrı bunların yetkin olduğunu gördü.

²⁶Ve Tanrı, "Kendi suretimizde ve benzerliğimizde insanı yapalım; denizin balıklarına, göğün kuşlarına, evcil hayvanlara, tüm yeryüzüne ve yeryüzünde sürünen tüm sürüngenlere egemen olsunlar" diye buyurdu.

²⁷Tanrı insanı kendi suretinde yaptı, onu Tanrı'nın suretinde inşa etti; onları erkek ve dişi olarak meydana getirdi.

²⁸Tanrı onları kutsayarak şöyle dedi: "Gelişin, çoğalın, yeryüzünü doldurun ve ona tamamen egemen olun; denizin balıklarını, göğün kuşlarını, tüm evcil hayvanları, tüm yeryüzünü ve yeryüzünde sürünen tüm sürüngenleri yönetin."

²⁹Ve Tanrı, "İşte, bütün yeryüzü üzerinde bulunan tohum saçan her ekilebilir otu ve içinde ekilebilir tohumun meyvesi olan her ağacı size verdim; bunlar size yiyecek olacaktır" dedi.

³⁰"Yeryüzünün tüm vahşi hayvanlarına, göğün tüm kuşlarına ve yeryüzünde sürünen, içinde yaşam canı olan her sürüngene yiyecek olarak her taze yeşil otu verdim." Ve bu şekilde gerçekleşti.

³¹Tanrı yaptığı her şeye baktı ve işte, her şey fazlasıyla güzel ve yetkindi. Akşam oldu ve sabah oldu; altıncı gün tamamlandı.

¹ΕΝ ἀρχῇ ἐποίησεν ὁ Θεὸς τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ τὴν γῆν.

²ἡ δὲ γῆ ἦν ἀόρατος καὶ ἀκατασκεύαστος, καὶ σκότος ἐπάνω τῆς ἀβύσσου, καὶ πνεῦμα Θεοῦ ἐπεφέρετο ἐπάνω τοῦ ὕδατος.

³καὶ εἶπεν ὁ Θεός· γενηθήτω φῶς· καὶ ἐγένετο φῶς.

⁴καὶ εἶδεν ὁ Θεὸς τὸ φῶς, ὅτι καλόν· καὶ διεχώρισεν ὁ Θεὸς ἀνὰ μέσον τοῦ φωτὸς καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον τοῦ σκότους.

⁵καὶ ἐκάλεσεν ὁ Θεὸς τὸ φῶς ἡμέραν καὶ τὸ σκότος ἐκάλεσε νύκτα. καὶ ἐγένετο ἑσπέρα καὶ ἐγένετο πρωΐ, ἡμέρα μία.

⁶Καὶ εἶπεν ὁ Θεός· γενηθήτω στερέωμα ἐν μέσῳ τοῦ ὕδατος καὶ ἔστω διαχωρίζον ἀνὰ μέσον ὕδατος καὶ ὕδατος. καὶ ἐγένετο οὕτως.

⁷καὶ ἐποίησεν ὁ Θεὸς τὸ στερέωμα, καὶ διεχώρισεν ὁ Θεὸς ἀνὰ μέσον τοῦ ὕδατος, ὃ ἦν ὑποκάτω τοῦ στερεώματος, καὶ ἀναμέσον τοῦ ὕδατος τοῦ ἐπάνω τοῦ στερεώματος.

⁸καὶ ἐκάλεσεν ὁ Θεὸς τὸ στερέωμα οὐρανόν. καὶ εἶδεν ὁ Θεός, ὅτι καλόν, καὶ ἐγένετο ἑσπέρα καὶ ἐγένετο πρωΐ, ἡμέρα δευτέρα.

⁹Καὶ εἶπεν ὁ Θεός· συναχθήτω τὸ ὕδωρ τὸ ὑποκάτω τοῦ οὐρανοῦ εἰς συναγωγὴν μίαν, καὶ ὀφθήτω ἡ ξηρά. καὶ ἐγένετο οὕτως. καὶ συνήχθη τὸ ὕδωρ τὸ ὑποκάτω τοῦ οὐρανοῦ εἰς τὰς συναγωγὰς αὐτῶν, καὶ ὤφθη ἡ ξηρά.

¹⁰καὶ ἐκάλεσεν ὁ Θεὸς τὴν ξηρὰν γῆν καὶ τὰ συστήματα τῶν ὑδάτων ἐκάλεσε θαλάσσας. καὶ εἶδεν ὁ Θεός, ὅτι καλόν.

¹¹καὶ εἶπεν ὁ Θεός· βλαστησάτω ἡ γῆ βοτάνην χόρτου σπεῖρον σπέρμα κατὰ γένος καὶ καθ᾿ ὁμοιότητα, καὶ ξύλον κάρπιμον ποιοῦν καρπόν, οὗ τὸ σπέρμα αὐτοῦ ἐν αὐτῷ κατὰ γένος ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς. καὶ ἐγένετο οὕτως.

¹²καὶ ἐξήνεγκεν ἡ γῆ βοτάνην χόρτου σπεῖρον σπέρμα κατὰ γένος καὶ καθ᾿ ὁμοιότητα, καὶ ξύλον κάρπιμον ποιοῦν καρπόν, οὗ τὸ σπέρμα αὐτοῦ ἐν αὐτῷ κατὰ γένος ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς.

¹³καὶ εἶδεν ὁ Θεός, ὅτι καλόν. καὶ ἐγένετο ἑσπέρα καὶ ἐγένετο πρωΐ, ἡμέρα τρίτη.

¹⁴Καὶ εἶπεν ὁ Θεός· γενηθήτωσαν φωστῆρες ἐν τῷ στερεώματι τοῦ οὐρανοῦ εἰς φαῦσιν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, τοῦ διαχωρίζειν ἀνὰ μέσον τῆς ἡμέρας καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον τῆς νυκτός· καὶ ἔστωσαν εἰς σημεῖα καὶ εἰς καιροὺς καὶ εἰς ἡμέρας καὶ εἰς ἐνιαυτούς·

¹⁵καὶ ἔστωσαν εἰς φαῦσιν ἐν τῷ στερεώματι τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, ὥστε φαίνειν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς. καὶ ἐγένετο οὕτως.

¹⁶καὶ ἐποίησεν ὁ Θεὸς τοὺς δύο φωστῆρας τοὺς μεγάλους, τὸν φωστῆρα τὸν μέγαν εἰς ἀρχὰς τῆς ἡμέρας καὶ τὸν φωστῆρα τὸν ἐλάσσω εἰς ἀρχὰς τῆς νυκτός, καὶ τοὺς ἀστέρας.

¹⁷καὶ ἔθετο αὐτοὺς ὁ Θεὸς ἐν τῷ στερεώματι τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, ὥστε φαίνειν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς

¹⁸καὶ ἄρχειν τῆς ἡμέρας καὶ τῆς νυκτὸς καὶ διαχωρίζειν ἀνὰ μέσον τοῦ φωτὸς καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον τοῦ σκότους. καὶ εἶδεν ὁ Θεός, ὅτι καλόν.

¹⁹καὶ ἐγένετο ἑσπέρα καὶ ἐγένετο πρωΐ, ἡμέρα τετάρτη.

²⁰Καὶ εἶπεν ὁ Θεός· ἐξαγαγέτω τὰ ὕδατα ἑρπετὰ ψυχῶν ζωσῶν καὶ πετεινὰ πετόμενα ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς κατὰ τὸ στερέωμα τοῦ οὐρανοῦ. καὶ ἐγένετο οὕτως.

²¹καὶ ἐποίησεν ὁ Θεὸς τὰ κήτη τὰ μεγάλα καὶ πᾶσαν ψυχὴν ζῴων ἑρπετῶν, ἃ ἐξήγαγε τὰ ὕδατα κατὰ γένη αὐτῶν, καὶ πᾶν πετεινὸν πτερωτὸν κατὰ γένος. καὶ εἶδεν ὁ Θεός, ὅτι καλά.

²²καὶ εὐλόγησεν αὐτὰ ὁ Θεός, λέγων· αὐξάνεσθε καὶ πληθύνεσθε καὶ πληρώσατε τὰ ὕδατα ἐν ταῖς θαλάσσαις, καὶ τὰ πετεινὰ πληθυνέσθωσαν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς.

²³καὶ ἐγένετο ἑσπέρα καὶ ἐγένετο πρωΐ, ἡμέρα πέμπτη.

²⁴Καὶ εἶπεν ὁ Θεός· ἐξαγαγέτω ἡ γῆ ψυχὴν ζῶσαν κατὰ γένος, τετράποδα καὶ ἑρπετὰ καὶ θηρία τῆς γῆς κατὰ γένος. καὶ ἐγένετο οὕτως.

²⁵καὶ ἐποίησεν ὁ Θεὸς τὰ θηρία τῆς γῆς κατὰ γένος, καὶ τὰ κτήνη κατὰ γένος αὐτῶν καὶ πάντα τὰ ἑρπετὰ τῆς γῆς κατὰ γένος αὐτῶν. καὶ εἶδεν ὁ Θεός, ὅτι καλά.

²⁶καὶ εἶπεν ὁ Θεός· ποιήσωμεν ἄνθρωπον κατ᾿ εἰκόνα ἡμετέραν καὶ καθ᾿ ὁμοίωσιν, καὶ ἀρχέτωσαν τῶν ἰχθύων τῆς θαλάσσης καὶ τῶν πετεινῶν τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ τῶν κτηνῶν καὶ πάσης τῆς γῆς καὶ πάντων τῶν ἑρπετῶν τῶν ἑρπόντων ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς.

²⁷καὶ ἐποίησεν ὁ Θεὸς τὸν ἄνθρωπον, κατ᾿ εἰκόνα Θεοῦ ἐποίησεν αὐτόν, ἄρσεν καὶ θῆλυ ἐποίησεν αὐτούς.

²⁸καὶ εὐλόγησεν αὐτοὺς ὁ Θεός, λέγων· αὐξάνεσθε καὶ πληθύνεσθε καὶ πληρώσατε τὴν γῆν καὶ κατακυριεύσατε αὐτῆς καὶ ἄρχετε τῶν ἰχθύων τῆς θαλάσσης καὶ τῶν πετεινῶν τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ πάντων τῶν κτηνῶν καὶ πάσης τῆς γῆς καὶ πάντων τῶν ἑρπετῶν τῶν ἑρπόντων ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς.

²⁹καὶ εἶπεν ὁ Θεός· ἰδοὺ δέδωκα ὑμῖν πάντα χόρτον σπόριμον σπεῖρον σπέρμα, ὅ ἐστιν ἐπάνω πάσης τῆς γῆς, καὶ πᾶν ξύλον, ὃ ἔχει ἐν ἑαυτῷ καρπὸν σπέρματος σπορίμου, ὑμῖν ἔσται εἰς βρῶσιν·

³⁰καὶ πᾶσι τοῖς θηρίοις τῆς γῆς καὶ πᾶσι τοῖς πετεινοῖς τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ παντὶ ἑρπετῷ ἕρποντι ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, ὃ ἔχει ἐν ἑαυτῷ ψυχὴν ζωῆς, καὶ πάντα χόρτον χλωρὸν εἰς βρῶσιν. καὶ ἐγένετο οὕτως.

³¹καὶ εἶδεν ὁ Θεὸς τὰ πάντα, ὅσα ἐποίησε, καὶ ἰδοὺ καλὰ λίαν. καὶ ἐγένετο ἑσπέρα καὶ ἐγένετο πρωΐ, ἡμέρα ἕκτη.

¹IN the beginning God made the heaven and the earth.

²But the earth was unsightly and unfurnished, and darkness was over the deep, and the Spirit of God moved over the water.

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

⁴And God saw the light that it was good, and God divided between the light and the darkness.

⁵And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night, and there was evening and there was morning, the first day.

⁶And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the water, and let it be a division between water and water, and it was so.

⁷And God made the firmament, and God divided between the water which was under the firmament and the water which was above the firmament.

⁸And God called the firmament Heaven, and God saw that it was good, and there was evening and there was morning, the second day.

⁹And God said, Let the water which is under the heaven be collected into one place, and let the dry land appear, and it was so. And the water which was under the heaven was collected into its places, and the dry land appeared.

¹⁰And God called the dry land Earth, and the gatherings of the waters he called Seas, and God saw that it was good.

¹¹And God said, Let the earth bring forth the herb of grass bearing seed according to its kind and according to its likeness, and the fruit-tree bearing fruit whose seed is in it, according to its kind on the earth, and it was so.

¹²And the earth brought forth the herb of grass bearing seed according to its kind and according to its likeness, and the fruit tree bearing fruit whose seed is in it, according to its kind on the earth, and God saw that it was good.

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

¹⁴And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth, to divide between day and night, and let them be for signs and for seasons and for days and for years.

¹⁵And let them be for light in the firmament of the heaven, so as to shine upon the earth, and it was so.

¹⁶And God made the two great lights, the greater light for regulating the day and the lesser light for regulating the night, the stars also.

¹⁷And God placed them in the firmament of the heaven, so as to shine upon the earth,

¹⁸and to regulate day and night, and to divide between the light and the darkness. And God saw that it was good.

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

²⁰And God said, Let the waters bring forth reptiles having life, and winged creatures flying above the earth in the firmament of heaven, and it was so.

²¹And God made great whales, and every living reptile, which the waters brought forth according to their kinds, and every creature that flies with wings according to its kind, and God saw that they were good.

²²And God blessed them saying, Increase and multiply and fill the waters in the seas, and let the creatures that fly be multiplied on the earth.

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

²⁴And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature according to its kind, quadrupeds and reptiles and wild beasts of the earth according to their kind, and it was so.

²⁵And God made the wild beasts of the earth according to their kind, and cattle according to their kind, and all the reptiles of the earth according to their kind, and God saw that they were good.

²⁶And God said, Let us make man according to our image and likeness, and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the flying creatures of heaven, and over the cattle and all the earth, and over all the reptiles that creep on the earth.

²⁷And God made man, according to the image of God he made him, male and female he made them.

²⁸And God blessed them, saying, Increase and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the seas and flying creatures of heaven, and all the cattle and all the earth, and all the reptiles that creep on the earth.

²⁹And God said, Behold I have given to you every seed-bearing herb sowing seed which is upon all the earth, and every tree which has in itself the fruit of seed that is sown, to you it shall be for food.

³⁰And to all the wild beasts of the earth, and to all the flying creatures of heaven, and to every reptile creeping on the earth, which has in itself the breath of life, even every green plant for food; and it was so.

³¹And God saw all the things that he had made, and, behold, they were very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.
