5ودعا الله النور نهارا والظلمة دعاها ليلا. وكان مساء وكان صباح يوما واحدا
5And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening, and there was morning -- the first day.
6وقال الله ليكن جلد في وسط المياه. وليكن فاصلا بين مياه ومياه.
6And God said, Let there be an expanse in the midst of the waters, and let it be a division between waters and waters.
7فعمل الله الجلد وفصل بين المياه التي تحت الجلد والمياه التي فوق الجلد. وكان كذلك.

15and let them be for lights in the expanse of the heavens, to give light on the earth. And it was so.

17وجعلها الله في جلد السماء لتنير على الارض

18ولتحكم على النهار والليل ولتفصل بين النور والظلمة. ورأى الله ذلك انه حسن.

21And God created the great sea monsters, and every living soul that moves with which the waters swarm, after their kind, and every winged fowl after its kind. And God saw that it was good.

26And 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 heavens, and over the cattle, and over the whole earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth on the earth.
27فخلق الله الانسان على صورته. على صورة الله خلقه. ذكرا وانثى خلقهم.
27And God created Man in his image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
