¹ Εν αρχη εποιησεν ο Θεος τον ουρανον και την γην.

² Η δε γη ητο αμορφος και ερημος· και σκοτος επι του προσωπου της αβυσσου. Και πνευμα Θεου εφερετο επι της επιφανειας των υδατων.

³ Και ειπεν ο Θεος, Γενηθητω φως· και εγεινε φως·

⁴ και ειδεν ο Θεος το φως οτι ητο καλον· και διεχωρισεν ο Θεος το φως απο του σκοτους·

⁵ και εκαλεσεν ο Θεος το φως, Ημεραν· το δε σκοτος εκαλεσε, Νυκτα. Και εγεινεν εσπερα και εγεινε πρωι, ημερα πρωτη.

⁶ Και ειπεν ο Θεος, Γενηθητω στερεωμα αναμεσον των υδατων, και ας διαχωριζη υδατα απο υδατων.

⁷ Και εποιησεν ο Θεος το στερεωμα, και διεχωρισε τα υδατα τα υποκατωθεν του στερεωματος απο των υδατων των επανωθεν του στερεωματος. Και εγεινεν ουτω.

⁸ Και εκαλεσεν ο Θεος το στερεωμα, Ουρανον. Και εγεινεν εσπερα και εγεινε πρωι, ημερα δευτερα.

⁹ Και ειπεν ο Θεος, Ας συναχθωσι τα υδατα τα υποκατω του ουρανου εις τοπον ενα, και ας φανη η ξηρα. Και εγεινεν ουτω.

¹⁰ Και εκαλεσεν ο Θεος την ξηραν, γην· και το συναγμα των υδατων εκαλεσε, Θαλασσας· και ειδεν ο Θεος οτι ητο καλον.

¹¹ Και ειπεν ο Θεος, Ας βλαστηση η γη χλωρον χορτον, χορτον καμνοντα σπορον, και δενδρον καρπιμον καμνον καρπον κατα το ειδος αυτου, του οποιου το σπερμα να ηναι εν αυτω επι της γης. Και εγεινεν ουτω.

¹² Και εβλαστησεν η γη χλωρον χορτον, χορτον καμνοντα σπορον κατα το ειδος αυτου, και δενδρον καμνον καρπον, του οποιου το σπερμα ειναι εν αυτω κατα το ειδος αυτου· και ειδεν ο Θεος οτι ητο καλον.

¹³ Και εγεινεν εσπερα και εγεινε πρωι, ημερα τριτη.

¹⁴ Και ειπεν ο Θεος, Ας γεινωσι φωστηρες εν τω στερεωματι του ουρανου, δια να διαχωριζωσι την ημεραν απο της νυκτος· και ας ηναι δια σημεια και καιρους και ημερας και ενιαυτους·

¹⁵ και ας ηναι δια φωστηρας εν τω στερεωματι του ουρανου, δια να φεγγωσιν επι της γης. Και εγεινεν ουτω.

¹⁶ Και εκαμεν ο Θεος τους δυο φωστηρας τους μεγαλους, τον φωστηρα τον μεγαν δια να εξουσιαζη επι της ημερας, και τον φωστηρα τον μικρον δια να εξουσιαζη επι της νυκτος· και τους αστερας·

¹⁷ και εθεσεν αυτους ο Θεος εν τω στερεωματι του ουρανου, δια να φεγγωσιν επι της γης,

¹⁸ και να εξουσιαζωσιν επι της ημερας και επι της νυκτος και να διαχωριζωσι το φως απο του σκοτους. Και ειδεν ο Θεος οτι ητο καλον.

¹⁹ Και εγεινεν εσπερα και εγεινε πρωι, ημερα τεταρτη.

²⁰ Και ειπεν ο Θεος, Ας γεννησωσι τα υδατα εν αφθονια νηκτα εμψυχα και πετεινα ας πετωνται επανωθεν της γης κατα το στερεωμα του ουρανου.

²¹ Και εποιησεν ο Θεος τα κητη τα μεγαλα και παν εμψυχον κινουμενον, τα οποια εγεννησαν εν αφθονια τα υδατα κατα το ειδος αυτων, και παν πετεινον πτερωτον κατα το ειδος αυτου. Και ειδεν ο Θεος οτι ητο καλον.

²² Και ευλογησεν αυτα ο Θεος, λεγων, Αυξανεσθε και πληθυνεσθε και γεμισατε τα υδατα εν ταις θαλασσαις· και τα πετεινα ας πληθυνωνται επι της γης.

²³ Και εγεινεν εσπερα και εγεινε πρωι, ημερα πεμπτη.

²⁴ Και ειπεν ο Θεος, Ας γεννηση η γη ζωα εμψυχα κατα το ειδος αυτων, κτηνη και ερπετα και ζωα της γης κατα το ειδος αυτων· και εγεινεν ουτω.

²⁵ Και εκαμεν ο Θεος τα ζωα της γης κατα το ειδος αυτων, και τα κτηνη κατα το ειδος αυτων, και παν ερπετον της γης κατα το ειδος αυτου. Και ειδεν ο Θεος οτι ητο καλον.

²⁶ Και ειπεν ο θεος, Ας καμωμεν ανθρωπον κατ' εικονα ημων, καθ' ομοιωσιν ημων· και ας εξουσιαζη επι των ιχθυων της θαλασσης και επι των πετεινων του ουρανου και επι των κτηνων και επι πασης της γης και επι παντος ερπετου, ερποντος επι της γης.

²⁷ Και εποιησεν ο Θεος τον ανθρωπον κατ' εικονα εαυτου· κατ' εικονα Θεου εποιησεν αυτον· αρσεν και θηλυ εποιησεν αυτους·

²⁸ και ευλογησεν αυτους ο Θεος· και ειπε προς αυτους ο Θεος, Αυξανεσθε και πληθυνεσθε και γεμισατε την γην και κυριευσατε αυτην, και εξουσιαζετε επι των ιχθυων της θαλασσης και επι των πετεινων του ουρανου και επι παντος ζωου κινουμενου επι της γης.

²⁹ Και ειπεν ο Θεος, Ιδου, σας εδωκα παντα χορτον καμνοντα σπορον, οστις ειναι επι του προσωπου πασης της γης, και παν δενδρον, το οποιον εχει εν εαυτω καρπον δενδρου καμνοντος σπορον· ταυτα θελουσιν εισθαι εις εσας προς τροφην·

³⁰ και εις παντα τα ζωα της γης και εις παντα τα πετεινα του ουρανου και εις παν ερπετον ερπον επι της γης και εχον εν εαυτω ψυχην ζωσαν, εδωκα παντα χλωρον χορτον εις τροφην. Και εγεινεν ουτω.

³¹ Και ειδεν ο Θεος παντα οσα εποιησε· και ιδου, ησαν καλα λιαν. Και εγεινεν εσπερα και εγεινε πρωι, ημερα εκτη.

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.
