Genesis 1
1 IN THE beginning God (prepared, formed, fashioned, and) created the heavens and the earth. 2 The earth was without form and an empty waste, and darkness was upon the face of the very great deep. The Spirit of God was moving (hovering, brooding) over the face of the waters.3 And God said, Let there be light; and there was light.4 And God saw that the light was good (suitable, pleasant) and He approved it; and God separated the light from the darkness. 5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, one day.6 And God said, Let there be a firmament [the expanse of the sky] in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters [below] from the waters [above].7 And God made the firmament [the expanse] and separated the waters which were under the expanse from the waters which were above the expanse. And it was so.8 And God called the firmament Heavens. And there was evening and there was morning, a second day.9 And God said, Let the waters under the heavens be collected into one place [of standing], and let the dry land appear. And it was so.10 God called the dry land Earth, and the accumulated waters He called Seas. And God saw that this was good (fitting, admirable) and He approved it.11 And God said, Let the earth put forth [tender] vegetation: plants yielding seed and fruit trees yielding fruit whose seed is in itself, each according to its kind, upon the earth. And it was so.12 The earth brought forth vegetation: plants yielding seed according to their own kinds and trees bearing fruit in which was their seed, each according to its kind. And God saw that it was good (suitable, admirable) and He approved it.13 And there was evening and there was morning, a third day.14 And God said, Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night, and let them be signs and tokens [of God’s provident care], and [to mark] seasons, days, and years, 15 And let them be lights in the expanse of the sky to give light upon the earth. And it was so.16 And God made the two great lights--the greater light (the sun) to rule the day and the lesser light (the moon) to rule the night. He also made the stars.17 And God set them in the expanse of the heavens to give light upon the earth,18 To rule over the day and over the night, and to separate the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good (fitting, pleasant) and He approved it.19 And there was evening and there was morning, a fourth day.20 And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly and swarm with living creatures, and let birds fly over the earth in the open expanse of the heavens.21 God created the great sea monsters and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good (suitable, admirable) and He approved it.22 And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let the fowl multiply in the earth.23 And there was evening and there was morning, a fifth day.24 And God said, Let the earth bring forth living creatures according to their kinds: livestock, creeping things, and [wild] beasts of the earth according to their kinds. And it was so.25 And God made the [wild] beasts of the earth according to their kinds, and domestic animals according to their kinds, and everything that creeps upon the earth according to its kind. And God saw that it was good (fitting, pleasant) and He approved it.26 God said, Let Us [Father, Son, and Holy Spirit] make mankind in Our image, after Our likeness, and let them have complete authority over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, the [tame] beasts, and over all of the earth, and over everything that creeps upon the earth. 27 So God created man in His own image, in the image and likeness of God He created him; male and female He created them. 28 And God blessed them and said to them, Be fruitful, multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it [using all its vast resources in the service of God and man]; and have dominion over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, and over every living creature that moves upon the earth.29 And God said, See, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the face of all the land and every tree with seed in its fruit; you shall have them for food.30 And to all the animals on the earth and to every bird of the air and to everything that creeps on the ground--to everything in which there is the breath of life--I have given every green plant for food. And it was so.31 And God saw everything that He had made, and behold, it was very good (suitable, pleasant) and He approved it completely. And there was evening and there was morning, a sixth day.
창세기 1
우주 창조
1 태초에 하나님이 우주를 창조하셨다.
2 지구는 아무 형태도 없이 텅 비어 흑 암에 싸인 채 물로 뒤덮여 있었고 하나님의 영은 수면에 활동하고 계셨다.
3 그때 하나님이 “빛이 있으라” 하고 말씀하시자 빛이 나타났다.
4 그 빛은 하나님이 보시기에 좋았다. 하나님이 빛과 어두움을 나누어
5 빛을 낮이라 부르시고 어두움을 밤이라고 부르셨다. 저녁이 지나고 아침이 되자 이것이 첫째 날이었다.
6-7 하나님이 “물 가운데 넓은 공간이 생겨 물과 물이 나누어져라” 하시자 그대로 되었다. 이렇게 하나님은 공간을 만들어 공간 아래의 물과 공간 위의 물로 나누시고
8 그 공간을 하늘이라고 부르셨다. 저녁이 지나고 아침이 되자 이것이 둘째 날이었다.
9 하나님이 “하늘 아래 있는 물은 한 곳으로 모이고 뭍이 드러나라” 하시자 그대로 되었다.
10 하나님은 뭍을 땅이라 부르시고 모인 물을 바다라고 부르셨다. 이것은 하나님이 보시기에 좋았다.
11 하나님이 “땅은 온갖 채소와 씨 맺는 식물과 열매 맺는 과일 나무들을 그 종류대로 내어라” 하시자 그대로 되었다.
12 이렇게 땅이 온갖 채소와 씨 맺는 식물과 열매 맺는 과일 나무들을 그 종류대로 내니 하나님이 보시기에 좋았다.
13 저녁이 지나고 아침이 되자 이것이 셋째 날이었다.
14-15 하나님이 “하늘에 광체가 나타나 땅을 비추고 낮과 밤을 나누어라. 그리고 날과 해와 계절을 구분하라” 하시자 그대로 되었다.
16 하나님은 두 개의 큰 광체를 만들어 큰 광체로 낮을, 작은 광체로 밤을 지배하게 하셨으며 또 별들도 만드셨다.
17 이렇게 하나님은 그 광체들을 하늘에 두어 땅을 비추게 하시고
18 밤과 낮을 지배하게 하시며 빛과 어두움을 구분하게 하셨다. 이것은 하나님이 보시기에 좋았다.
19 저녁이 지나고 아침이 되자 이것이 넷째 날이었다.
20 하나님이 “물에는 생물이 번성하고 공중에는 새가 날으라” 하고 말씀하셨다.
21 이와 같이 하나님은 거대한 바다 생물과 물에서 번성하는 갖가지 물고기와 날개 달린 온갖 새들을 창조하셨다. 이것은 하나님이 보시기에 좋았다.
22 하나님이 이것들을 다 축복하시며 “바다의 생물들은 번성하여 바다를 채우고 공중의 새들은 번성하여 땅을 채워라” 하셨다.
23 저녁이 지나고 아침이 되자 이것이 다섯째 날이었다.
24 하나님이 “땅은 온갖 생물, 곧 가축과 땅에 기어다니는 것과 들짐승을 그 종류대로 내어라” 하시자 그대로 되었다.
25 이렇게 하나님은 들짐승과 가축과 땅에 기어다니는 모든 생물을 만드셨다. 이것은 하나님이 보시기에 좋았다.
26 그러고서 하나님은 “우리의 모습을 닮은 사람을 만들어 바다의 고기와 공중의 새와 가축과 온 땅과 땅에 기어다니는 모든 생물을 지배하게 하자” 하시고
27 자기 모습을 닮은 사람, 곧 남자와 여자를 창조하셨다.
28 그리고 하나님은 그들을 축복하여 이렇게 말씀하셨다. “너희는 많은 자녀를 낳고 번성하여 땅을 가득 채워라. 땅을 정복하라. 바다의 고기와 공중의 새와 땅의 모든 생물을 지배하라.
29 내가 온 땅의 씨 맺는 식물과 열매 맺는 모든 나무를 너희에게 주었으니 그것이 너희 양식이 될 것이다.
30 그리고 땅의 모든 짐승과 공중의 모든 새와 땅에서 움직이는 모든 생물들에게는 푸른 풀과 식물을 내가 먹이로 주었다.”
31 하나님이 자기가 창조한 것을 보시니 모든 것이 아주 훌륭하였다. 저녁이 지나고 아침이 되자 이것이 여섯째 날이었다.
