Genesis 1

The Message Bible MSG

1 First this: God created the Heavens and Earth - all you see, all you don't see.

2 Earth was a soup of nothingness, a bottomless emptiness, an inky blackness. God's Spirit brooded like a bird above the watery abyss.

3 God spoke: "Light!" And light appeared.

4 God saw that light was good and separated light from dark.

5 God named the light Day, he named the dark Night. It was evening, it was morning - Day One.

6 God spoke: "Sky! In the middle of the waters; separate water from water!"

7 God made sky. He separated the water under sky from the water above sky. And there it was:

8 he named sky the Heavens; It was evening, it was morning - Day Two.

9 God spoke: "Separate! Water-beneath-Heaven, gather into one place; Land, appear!" And there it was.

10 God named the land Earth. He named the pooled water Ocean. God saw that it was good.

11 God spoke: "Earth, green up! Grow all varieties of seed-bearing plants, Every sort of fruit-bearing tree." And there it was.

12 Earth produced green seed-bearing plants, all varieties, And fruit-bearing trees of all sorts. God saw that it was good.

13 It was evening, it was morning - Day Three.

14 God spoke: "Lights! Come out! Shine in Heaven's sky! Separate Day from Night. Mark seasons and days and years,

15 Lights in Heaven's sky to give light to Earth." And there it was.

16 God made two big lights, the larger to take charge of Day, The smaller to be in charge of Night; and he made the stars.

17 God placed them in the heavenly sky to light up Earth

18 And oversee Day and Night, to separate light and dark. God saw that it was good.

19 It was evening, it was morning - Day Four.

20 God spoke: "Swarm, Ocean, with fish and all sea life! Birds, fly through the sky over Earth!"

21 God created the huge whales, all the swarm of life in the waters, And every kind and species of flying birds. God saw that it was good.

22 God blessed them: "Prosper! Reproduce! Fill Ocean! Birds, reproduce on Earth!"

23 It was evening, it was morning - Day Five.

24 God spoke: "Earth, generate life! Every sort and kind: cattle and reptiles and wild animals - all kinds." And there it was:

25 wild animals of every kind, Cattle of all kinds, every sort of reptile and bug. God saw that it was good.

26 God spoke: "Let us make human beings in our image, make them reflecting our nature So they can be responsible for the fish in the sea, the birds in the air, the cattle, And, yes, Earth itself, and every animal that moves on the face of Earth."

27 God created human beings; he created them godlike, Reflecting God's nature. He created them male and female.

28 God blessed them: "Prosper! Reproduce! Fill Earth! Take charge! Be responsible for fish in the sea and birds in the air, for every living thing that moves on the face of Earth."

29 Then God said, "I've given you every sort of seed-bearing plant on Earth And every kind of fruit-bearing tree, given them to you for food.

30 To all animals and all birds, everything that moves and breathes, I give whatever grows out of the ground for food." And there it was.

31 God looked over everything he had made; it was so good, so very good! It was evening, it was morning - Day Six.

1 in principio creavit Deus caelum et terram

2 terra autem erat inanis et vacua et tenebrae super faciem abyssi et spiritus Dei ferebatur super aquas

3 dixitque Deus fiat lux et facta est lux

4 et vidit Deus lucem quod esset bona et divisit lucem ac tenebras

5 appellavitque lucem diem et tenebras noctem factumque est vespere et mane dies unus

6 dixit quoque Deus fiat firmamentum in medio aquarum et dividat aquas ab aquis

7 et fecit Deus firmamentum divisitque aquas quae erant sub firmamento ab his quae erant super firmamentum et factum est ita

8 vocavitque Deus firmamentum caelum et factum est vespere et mane dies secundus

9 dixit vero Deus congregentur aquae quae sub caelo sunt in locum unum et appareat arida factumque est ita

10 et vocavit Deus aridam terram congregationesque aquarum appellavit maria et vidit Deus quod esset bonum

11 et ait germinet terra herbam virentem et facientem semen et lignum pomiferum faciens fructum iuxta genus suum cuius semen in semet ipso sit super terram et factum est ita

12 et protulit terra herbam virentem et adferentem semen iuxta genus suum lignumque faciens fructum et habens unumquodque sementem secundum speciem suam et vidit Deus quod esset bonum

13 factumque est vespere et mane dies tertius

14 dixit autem Deus fiant luminaria in firmamento caeli ut dividant diem ac noctem et sint in signa et tempora et dies et annos

15 ut luceant in firmamento caeli et inluminent terram et factum est ita

16 fecitque Deus duo magna luminaria luminare maius ut praeesset diei et luminare minus ut praeesset nocti et stellas

17 et posuit eas in firmamento caeli ut lucerent super terram

18 et praeessent diei ac nocti et dividerent lucem ac tenebras et vidit Deus quod esset bonum

19 et factum est vespere et mane dies quartus

20 dixit etiam Deus producant aquae reptile animae viventis et volatile super terram sub firmamento caeli

21 creavitque Deus cete grandia et omnem animam viventem atque motabilem quam produxerant aquae in species suas et omne volatile secundum genus suum et vidit Deus quod esset bonum

22 benedixitque eis dicens crescite et multiplicamini et replete aquas maris avesque multiplicentur super terram

23 et factum est vespere et mane dies quintus

24 dixit quoque Deus producat terra animam viventem in genere suo iumenta et reptilia et bestias terrae secundum species suas factumque est ita

25 et fecit Deus bestias terrae iuxta species suas et iumenta et omne reptile terrae in genere suo et vidit Deus quod esset bonum

26 et ait faciamus hominem ad imaginem et similitudinem nostram et praesit piscibus maris et volatilibus caeli et bestiis universaeque terrae omnique reptili quod movetur in terra

27 et creavit Deus hominem ad imaginem suam ad imaginem Dei creavit illum masculum et feminam creavit eos

28 benedixitque illis Deus et ait crescite et multiplicamini et replete terram et subicite eam et dominamini piscibus maris et volatilibus caeli et universis animantibus quae moventur super terram

29 dixitque Deus ecce dedi vobis omnem herbam adferentem semen super terram et universa ligna quae habent in semet ipsis sementem generis sui ut sint vobis in escam

30 et cunctis animantibus terrae omnique volucri caeli et universis quae moventur in terra et in quibus est anima vivens ut habeant ad vescendum et factum est ita

31 viditque Deus cuncta quae fecit et erant valde bona et factum est vespere et mane dies sextus
