Genesis 1

In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

فِي الْبَدْءِ خَلَقَ اللهُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضَ.

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.

وَكَانَتِ الأَرْضُ خَرِبَةً وَخَالِيَةً، وَعَلَى وَجْهِ الْغَمْرِ ظُلْمَةٌ، وَرُوحُ اللهِ يَرِفُّ عَلَى وَجْهِ الْمِيَاهِ.

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

وَقَالَ اللهُ: «لِيَكُنْ نُورٌ»، فَكَانَ نُورٌ.

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

وَرَأَى اللهُ النُّورَ أَنَّهُ حَسَنٌ. وَفَصَلَ اللهُ بَيْنَ النُّورِ وَالظُّلْمَةِ.

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

وَدَعَا اللهُ النُّورَ نَهَارًا، وَالظُّلْمَةُ دَعَاهَا لَيْلاً. وَكَانَ مَسَاءٌ وَكَانَ صَبَاحٌ يَوْمًا وَاحِدًا.

And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.

وَقَالَ اللهُ: «لِيَكُنْ جَلَدٌ فِي وَسَطِ الْمِيَاهِ. وَلْيَكُنْ فَاصِلاً بَيْنَ مِيَاهٍ وَمِيَاهٍ».

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.

فَعَمِلَ اللهُ الْجَلَدَ، وَفَصَلَ بَيْنَ الْمِيَاهِ الَّتِي تَحْتَ الْجَلَدِ وَالْمِيَاهِ الَّتِي فَوْقَ الْجَلَدِ. وَكَانَ كَذلِكَ.

And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.

وَدَعَا اللهُ الْجَلَدَ سَمَاءً. وَكَانَ مَسَاءٌ وَكَانَ صَبَاحٌ يَوْمًا ثَانِيًا.

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.

وَقَالَ اللهُ: «لِتَجْتَمِعِ الْمِيَاهُ تَحْتَ السَّمَاءِ إِلَى مَكَانٍ وَاحِدٍ، وَلْتَظْهَرِ الْيَابِسَةُ». وَكَانَ كَذلِكَ.

And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.

وَدَعَا اللهُ الْيَابِسَةَ أَرْضًا، وَمُجْتَمَعَ الْمِيَاهِ دَعَاهُ بِحَارًا. وَرَأَى اللهُ ذلِكَ أَنَّهُ حَسَنٌ.

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.

وَقَالَ اللهُ: «لِتُنْبِتِ الأَرْضُ عُشْبًا وَبَقْلاً يُبْزِرُ بِزْرًا، وَشَجَرًا ذَا ثَمَرٍ يَعْمَلُ ثَمَرًا كَجِنْسِهِ، بِزْرُهُ فِيهِ عَلَى الأَرْضِ». وَكَانَ كَذلِكَ.

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.

فَأَخْرَجَتِ الأَرْضُ عُشْبًا وَبَقْلاً يُبْزِرُ بِزْرًا كَجِنْسِهِ، وَشَجَرًا يَعْمَلُ ثَمَرًا بِزْرُهُ فِيهِ كَجِنْسِهِ. وَرَأَى اللهُ ذلِكَ أَنَّهُ حَسَنٌ.

And the evening and the morning were the third day.

وَكَانَ مَسَاءٌ وَكَانَ صَبَاحٌ يَوْمًا ثَالِثًا.

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:

وَقَالَ اللهُ: «لِتَكُنْ أَنْوَارٌ فِي جَلَدِ السَّمَاءِ لِتَفْصِلَ بَيْنَ النَّهَارِ وَاللَّيْلِ، وَتَكُونَ لآيَاتٍ وَأَوْقَاتٍ وَأَيَّامٍ وَسِنِينٍ.

And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.

وَتَكُونَ أَنْوَارًا فِي جَلَدِ السَّمَاءِ لِتُنِيرَ عَلَى الأَرْضِ». وَكَانَ كَذلِكَ.

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.

فَعَمِلَ اللهُ النُّورَيْنِ الْعَظِيمَيْنِ: النُّورَ الأَكْبَرَ لِحُكْمِ النَّهَارِ، وَالنُّورَ الأَصْغَرَ لِحُكْمِ اللَّيْلِ، وَالنُّجُومَ.

And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,

وَجَعَلَهَا اللهُ فِي جَلَدِ السَّمَاءِ لِتُنِيرَ عَلَى الأَرْضِ،

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.

وَلِتَحْكُمَ عَلَى النَّهَارِ وَاللَّيْلِ، وَلِتَفْصِلَ بَيْنَ النُّورِ وَالظُّلْمَةِ. وَرَأَى اللهُ ذلِكَ أَنَّهُ حَسَنٌ.

And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.

وَكَانَ مَسَاءٌ وَكَانَ صَبَاحٌ يَوْمًا رَابِعًا.

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.

وَقَالَ اللهُ: «لِتَفِضِ الْمِيَاهُ زَحَّافَاتٍ ذَاتَ نَفْسٍ حَيَّةٍ، وَلْيَطِرْ طَيْرٌ فَوْقَ الأَرْضِ عَلَى وَجْهِ جَلَدِ السَّمَاءِ».

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.

فَخَلَقَ اللهُ التَّنَانِينَ الْعِظَامَ، وَكُلَّ ذَوَاتِ الأَنْفُسِ الْحيَّةِ الدَّبَّابَةِ الْتِى فَاضَتْ بِهَا الْمِيَاهُ كَأَجْنَاسِهَا، وَكُلَّ طَائِرٍ ذِي جَنَاحٍ كَجِنْسِهِ. وَرَأَى اللهُ ذلِكَ أَنَّهُ حَسَنٌ.

And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.

وَبَارَكَهَا اللهُ قَائِلاً: «أَثْمِرِي وَاكْثُرِي وَامْلإِي الْمِيَاهَ فِي الْبِحَارِ. وَلْيَكْثُرِ الطَّيْرُ عَلَى الأَرْضِ».

And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.

وَكَانَ مَسَاءٌ وَكَانَ صَبَاحٌ يَوْمًا خَامِسًا.

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.

وَقَالَ اللهُ: «لِتُخْرِجِ الأَرْضُ ذَوَاتِ أَنْفُسٍ حَيَّةٍ كَجِنْسِهَا: بَهَائِمَ، وَدَبَّابَاتٍ، وَوُحُوشَ أَرْضٍ كَأَجْنَاسِهَا». وَكَانَ كَذلِكَ.

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.

فَعَمِلَ اللهُ وُحُوشَ الأَرْضِ كَأَجْنَاسِهَا، وَالْبَهَائِمَ كَأَجْنَاسِهَا، وَجَمِيعَ دَبَّابَاتِ الأَرْضِ كَأَجْنَاسِهَا. وَرَأَى اللهُ ذلِكَ أَنَّهُ حَسَنٌ.

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.

وَقَالَ اللهُ: «نَعْمَلُ الإِنْسَانَ عَلَى صُورَتِنَا كَشَبَهِنَا، فَيَتَسَلَّطُونَ عَلَى سَمَكِ الْبَحْرِ وَعَلَى طَيْرِ السَّمَاءِ وَعَلَى الْبَهَائِمِ، وَعَلَى كُلِّ الأَرْضِ، وَعَلَى جَمِيعِ الدَّبَّابَاتِ الَّتِي تَدِبُّ عَلَى الأَرْضِ».

So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

فَخَلَقَ اللهُ الإِنْسَانَ عَلَى صُورَتِهِ. عَلَى صُورَةِ اللهِ خَلَقَهُ. ذَكَرًا وَأُنْثَى خَلَقَهُمْ.

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.

وَبَارَكَهُمُ اللهُ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «أَثْمِرُوا وَاكْثُرُوا وَامْلأُوا الأَرْضَ، وَأَخْضِعُوهَا، وَتَسَلَّطُوا عَلَى سَمَكِ الْبَحْرِ وَعَلَى طَيْرِ السَّمَاءِ وَعَلَى كُلِّ حَيَوَانٍ يَدِبُّ عَلَى الأَرْضِ».

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.

وَقَالَ اللهُ: «إِنِّي قَدْ أَعْطَيْتُكُمْ كُلَّ بَقْل يُبْزِرُ بِزْرًا عَلَى وَجْهِ كُلِّ الأَرْضِ، وَكُلَّ شَجَرٍ فِيهِ ثَمَرُ شَجَرٍ يُبْزِرُ بِزْرًا لَكُمْ يَكُونُ طَعَامًا.

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.

وَلِكُلِّ حَيَوَانِ الأَرْضِ وَكُلِّ طَيْرِ السَّمَاءِ وَكُلِّ دَبَّابَةٍ عَلَى الأَرْضِ فِيهَا نَفْسٌ حَيَّةٌ، أَعْطَيْتُ كُلَّ عُشْبٍ أَخْضَرَ طَعَامًا». وَكَانَ كَذلِكَ.

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.

وَرَأَى اللهُ كُلَّ مَا عَمِلَهُ فَإِذَا هُوَ حَسَنٌ جِدًّا. وَكَانَ مَسَاءٌ وَكَانَ صَبَاحٌ يَوْمًا سَادِسًا.
