Genesis 1:1-7

YLT

NIV

1 In the beginning of God's preparing the heavens and the earth --
1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
2 the earth hath existed waste and void, and darkness [is] on the face of the deep, and the Spirit of God fluttering on the face of the waters,
2 Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.
3 and God saith, `Let light be;' and light is.
3 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.
4 And God seeth the light that [it is] good, and God separateth between the light and the darkness,
4 God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness.
5 and God calleth to the light `Day,' and to the darkness He hath called `Night;' and there is an evening, and there is a morning -- day one.
5 God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day.
6 And God saith, `Let an expanse be in the midst of the waters, and let it be separating between waters and waters.'
6 And God said, “Let there be a vault between the waters to separate water from water.”
7 And God maketh the expanse, and it separateth between the waters which [are] under the expanse, and the waters which [are] above the expanse: and it is so.
7 So God made the vault and separated the water under the vault from the water above it. And it was so.
