¹Pada mulanya, waktu Allah mulai menciptakan alam semesta,

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

²bumi belum berbentuk, dan masih kacau-balau. Samudra yang bergelora, yang menutupi segala sesuatu, diliputi oleh gelap gulita, tetapi kuasa Allah bergerak di atas permukaan air.

²And the earth was waste and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep: and the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters

³Allah berkata, "Jadilah terang!" Lalu ada terang.

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

⁴Allah senang melihat hal itu. Lalu dipisahkan-Nya terang itu dari gelap,

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

⁵dan dinamakan-Nya terang itu "Siang" dan gelap itu "Malam". Malam lewat, dan jadilah pagi. Itulah hari yang pertama.

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

⁶Kemudian Allah berkata, "Jadilah sebuah kubah untuk membagi air itu menjadi dua, dan menahannya dalam dua tempat yang terpisah." Lalu hal itu terjadi. Demikianlah Allah membuat kubah yang memisahkan air yang ada di bawah kubah itu dari air yang ada di atasnya.

⁶And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.

⁷(1:6)

⁷And 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.

⁸Kubah itu dinamakan-Nya "Langit". Malam lewat dan jadilah pagi. Itulah hari yang kedua.

⁸And God called the firmament Heaven. And there was evening and there was morning, a second day.

⁹Kemudian Allah berkata, "Hendaklah air yang ada di bawah langit mengalir ke satu tempat, sehingga tanah akan kelihatan." Lalu hal itu terjadi.

⁹And God said, Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.

¹⁰Allah menamakan tanah itu "Darat", dan kumpulan air itu dinamakan-Nya "Laut". Dan Allah senang melihat hal itu.

¹⁰And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.

¹¹Allah berkata lagi, "Hendaklah tanah mengeluarkan segala macam tumbuh-tumbuhan, yaitu jenis yang menghasilkan biji-bijian dan jenis yang menghasilkan buah-buahan." Lalu hal itu terjadi.

¹¹And God said, Let the earth put forth grass, herbs yielding seed, [and] fruit-trees bearing fruit after their kind, wherein is the seed thereof, upon the earth: and it was so.

¹²Demikianlah tanah mengeluarkan segala macam tumbuh-tumbuhan. Dan Allah senang melihat hal itu.

¹²And the earth brought forth grass, herbs yielding seed after their kind, and trees bearing fruit, wherein is the seed thereof, after their kind: and God saw that it was good.

¹³Malam lewat dan jadilah pagi. Itulah hari yang ketiga.

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

¹⁴Kemudian Allah berkata, "Hendaklah ada benda-benda terang di langit untuk menerangi bumi, untuk memisahkan siang dari malam, dan untuk menunjukkan saat mulainya hari, tahun, dan hari raya agama." Maka hal itu terjadi.

¹⁴And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years:

¹⁵(1:14)

¹⁵and let them be for lights in the firmament of heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.

¹⁶Demikianlah Allah membuat kedua benda terang yang besar, yaitu matahari untuk menguasai siang, dan bulan untuk menguasai malam; selain itu dibuat-Nya juga bintang-bintang.

¹⁶And God made the two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: [he made] the stars also.

¹⁷Allah menempatkan benda-benda terang itu di langit untuk menerangi bumi,

¹⁷And God set them in the firmament of heaven to give light upon the earth,

¹⁸untuk menguasai siang dan malam, dan untuk memisahkan terang dari gelap. Dan Allah senang melihat hal itu.

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

¹⁹Malam lewat, dan jadilah pagi. Itulah hari yang keempat.

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

²⁰Kemudian Allah berkata, "Hendaklah di dalam air berkeriapan banyak macam makhluk hidup, dan di udara beterbangan banyak burung-burung."

²⁰And God said, Let the waters swarm with swarms of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.

²¹Maka Allah menciptakan binatang-binatang raksasa laut, dan segala jenis makhluk yang hidup di dalam air, serta segala jenis burung. Dan Allah senang melihat hal itu.

²¹And God created the great sea-monsters, and every living creature that moveth, wherewith the waters swarmed, after their kind, and every winged bird after its kind: and God saw that it was good.

²²Allah memberkati semuanya itu dengan memberi perintah kepada makhluk yang hidup di dalam air supaya berkembang biak dan memenuhi laut, dan kepada burung-burung supaya bertambah banyak.

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

²³Malam lewat dan jadilah pagi. Itulah hari yang kelima.

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

²⁴Kemudian Allah berkata, "Hendaklah bumi mengeluarkan segala jenis binatang darat, yang jinak dan yang liar, besar maupun kecil." Lalu hal itu terjadi.

²⁴And God said, Let the earth bring forth living creatures after their kind, cattle, and creeping things, and beasts of the earth after their kind: and it was so.

²⁵Demikianlah Allah membuat semuanya itu dan ia senang melihat hal itu.

²⁵And God made the beasts of the earth after their kind, and the cattle after their kind, and everything that creepeth upon the ground after its kind: and God saw that it was good.

²⁶Kemudian Allah berkata, "Sekarang Kita akan membuat manusia yang akan menjadi seperti Kita dan menyerupai Kita. Mereka akan berkuasa atas ikan-ikan, burung-burung, dan segala binatang lain, baik jinak maupun liar, baik besar maupun kecil."

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 birds of the heavens, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

²⁷Demikianlah Allah menciptakan manusia, dan dijadikannya mereka seperti diri-Nya sendiri. Diciptakan-Nya mereka laki-laki dan perempuan.

²⁷And God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

²⁸Kemudian diberkati-Nya mereka dengan ucapan "Beranakcuculah yang banyak, supaya keturunanmu mendiami seluruh muka bumi serta menguasainya. Kamu Kutugaskan mengurus ikan-ikan, burung-burung, dan semua binatang lain yang liar.

²⁸And 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 birds of the heavens, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

²⁹Untuk makananmu Kuberikan kepadamu segala jenis tumbuhan yang menghasilkan biji-bijian dan buah-buahan.

²⁹And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb yielding seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for food:

³⁰Tetapi kepada segala burung dan binatang liar lainnya, Kuberikan rumput dan tanaman berdaun sebagai makanannya." Maka hal itu terjadi.

³⁰and to every beast of the earth, and to every bird of the heavens, and to everything that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, [I have given] every green herb for food: and it was so.

³¹Allah memandang segala sesuatu yang telah dibuat-Nya itu, dan Ia sangat senang. Malam lewat dan jadilah pagi. Itulah hari yang keenam.

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