¹ 天地万物都造齐了。

² 到第七日，神造物的工已经完毕，就在第七日歇了他一切的工，安息了。

³ 神赐福给第七日，定为圣日；因为在这日，神歇了他一切创造的工，就安息了。

⁴ 创造天地的来历，在耶和华神造天地的日子，乃是这样，

⁵ 野地还没有草木，田间的菜蔬还没有长起来；因为耶和华神还没有降雨在地上，也没有人耕地，

⁶ 但有雾气从地上腾，滋润遍地。

⁷ 耶和华神用地上的尘土造人，将生气吹在他鼻孔里，他就成了有灵的活人，名叫亚当。

⁸ 耶和华神在东方的伊甸立了一个园子，把所造的人安置在那里。

⁹ 耶和华神使各样的树从地里长出来，可以悦人的眼目，其上的果子好作食物。园子当中又有生命树和分别善恶的树。

¹⁰ 有河从伊甸流出来，滋润那园子，从那里分为四道：

¹¹ 第一道名叫比逊，就是环绕哈腓拉全地的。在那里有金子，

¹² 并且那地的金子是好的；在那里又有珍珠和红玛瑙。

¹³ 第二道河名叫基训，就是环绕古实全地的。

¹⁴ 第三道河名叫底格里斯，流在亚述的东边。第四道河就是伯拉河。

¹⁵ 耶和华神将那人安置在伊甸园，使他修理，看守。

¹⁶ 耶和华神吩咐他说：园中各样树上的果子，你可以随意吃，

¹⁷ 只是分别善恶树上的果子，你不可吃，因为你吃的日子必定死！

¹⁸ 耶和华神说：那人独居不好，我要为他造一个配偶帮助他。

¹⁹ 耶和华神用土所造成的野地各样走兽和空中各样飞鸟都带到那人面前，看他叫甚麽。那人怎样叫各样的活物，那就是他的名字。

²⁰ 那人便给一切牲畜和空中飞鸟、野地走兽都起了名；只是那人没有遇见配偶帮助他。

²¹ 耶和华神使他沉睡，他就睡了；於是取下他的一条肋骨，又把肉合起来。

²² 耶和华神就用那人身上所取的肋骨造成一个女人，领他到那人跟前。

²³ 那人说：这是我骨中的骨，肉中的肉，可以称他为女人，因为他是从男人身上取出来的。

²⁴ 因此，人要离开父母，与妻子连合，二人成为一体。

²⁵ 当时夫妻二人赤身露体，并不羞耻。

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

² Now the earth was formless and empty. Darkness was on the surface of the deep. God's Spirit was hovering over the surface of the waters.

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

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

⁵ God called the light "day," and the darkness he called "night." There was evening and there was morning, one day.

⁶ God said, "Let there be an expanse in the middle of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters."

⁷ God made the expanse, and divided the waters which were under the expanse from the waters which were above the expanse; and it was so.

⁸ God called the expanse "sky." There was evening and there was morning, a second day.

⁹ God said, "Let the waters under the sky be gathered together to one place, and let the dry land appear;" and it was so.

¹⁰ God called the dry land "earth," and the gathering together of the waters he called "seas." God saw that it was good.

¹¹ God said, "Let the earth put forth grass, herbs yielding seed, and fruit trees bearing fruit after their kind, with its seed in it, on the earth;" and it was so.

¹² The earth brought forth grass, herbs yielding seed after their kind, and trees bearing fruit, with its seed in it, after their kind; and God saw that it was good.

¹³ There was evening and there was morning, a third day.

¹⁴ God said, "Let there be lights in the expanse of sky 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 expanse of sky to give light on the earth;" and it was so.

¹⁶ God made the two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night. He also made the stars.

¹⁷ God set them in the expanse of sky to give light to the earth,

¹⁸ and to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness. God saw that it was good.

¹⁹ There was evening and there was morning, a fourth day.

²⁰ God said, "Let the waters swarm with swarms of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth in the open expanse of sky."

²¹ God created the large sea creatures, and every living creature that moves, with which the waters swarmed, after their kind, and every winged bird after its kind. God saw that it was good.

²² God blessed them, saying, "Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth."

²³ There was evening and there was morning, a fifth day.

²⁴ God said, "Let the earth bring forth living creatures after their kind, livestock, creeping things, and animals of the earth after their kind;" and it was so.

²⁵ God made the animals of the earth after their kind, and the livestock after their kind, and everything that creeps on the ground after its kind. God saw that it was good.

²⁶ 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 birds of the sky, and over the livestock, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth."

²⁷ God created man in his own image. In God's image he created him; male and female he created them.

²⁸ God blessed them. God said to them, "Be fruitful, multiply, fill the earth, and subdue it. Have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the sky, and over every living thing that moves on the earth."

²⁹ God said, "Behold, I have given you every herb yielding seed, which is on the surface of all the earth, and every tree, which bears fruit yielding seed. It will be your food.

³⁰ To every animal of the earth, and to every bird of the sky, and to everything that creeps on the earth, in which there is life, I have given every green herb for food;" and it was so.

³¹ God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. There was evening and there was morning, a sixth day.
