ΓΕΝΕΣΙΣ - Genesi - Genesis 1

GREEK BIBLE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Εν αρχη εποιησεν ο Θεος τον ουρανον και την γην.	1 In the beginning, God created heaven and earth.
2 Η δε γη ητο αμορφος και ερημος? και σκοτος επι του προσωπου της αβυσσου. Και πνευμα Θεου εφερετο επι της επιφανειας των υδατων.	2 But the earth was empty and unoccupied, and darknesses were over the face of the abyss; and so the Spirit of God was brought over the waters.
3 Και ειπεν ο Θεος, Γενηθητω φως? και εγεινε φως?	3 And God said, “Let there be light.” And light became.
4 και ειδεν ο Θεος το φως οτι ητο καλον? και διεχωρισεν ο Θεος το φως απο του σκοτους?	4 And God saw the light, that it was good; and so he divided the light from the darknesses.
5 και εκαλεσεν ο Θεος το φως, Ημεραν? το δε σκοτος εκαλεσε, Νυκτα. Και εγεινεν εσπερα και εγεινε πρωι, ημερα πρωτη.	5 And he called the light, ‘Day,’ and the darknesses, ‘Night.’ And it became evening and morning, one day.
6 Και ειπεν ο Θεος, Γενηθητω στερεωμα αναμεσον των υδατων, και ας διαχωριζη υδατα απο υδατων.	6 God also said, “Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide waters from waters.”
7 Και εποιησεν ο Θεος το στερεωμα, και διεχωρισε τα υδατα τα υποκατωθεν του στερεωματος απο των υδατων των επανωθεν του στερεωματος. Και εγεινεν ουτω.	7 And God made a firmament, and he divided the waters that were under the firmament, from those that were above the firmament. And so it became.
8 Και εκαλεσεν ο Θεος το στερεωμα, Ουρανον. Και εγεινεν εσπερα και εγεινε πρωι, ημερα δευτερα.	8 And God called the firmament ‘Heaven.’ And it became evening and morning, the second day.
9 Και ειπεν ο Θεος, Ας συναχθωσι τα υδατα τα υποκατω του ουρανου εις τοπον ενα, και ας φανη η ξηρα. Και εγεινεν ουτω.	9 Truly God said: “Let the waters that are under heaven be gathered together into one place; and let the dry land appear.” And so it became.
10 Και εκαλεσεν ο Θεος την ξηραν, γην? και το συναγμα των υδατων εκαλεσε, Θαλασσας? και ειδεν ο Θεος οτι ητο καλον.	10 And God called the dry land, ‘Earth,’ and he called the gathering of the waters, ‘Seas.’ And God saw that it was good.
11 Και ειπεν ο Θεος, Ας βλαστηση η γη χλωρον χορτον, χορτον καμνοντα σπορον, και δενδρον καρπιμον καμνον καρπον κατα το ειδος αυτου, του οποιου το σπερμα να ηναι εν αυτω επι της γης. Και εγεινεν ουτω.	11 And he said, “Let the land spring forth green plants, both those producing seed, and fruit-bearing trees, producing fruit according to their kind, whose seed is within itself, over all the earth.” And so it became.
12 Και εβλαστησεν η γη χλωρον χορτον, χορτον καμνοντα σπορον κατα το ειδος αυτου, και δενδρον καμνον καρπον, του οποιου το σπερμα ειναι εν αυτω κατα το ειδος αυτου? και ειδεν ο Θεος οτι ητο καλον.	12 And the land brought forth green plants, both those producing seed, according to their kind, and trees producing fruit, with each having its own way of sowing, according to its species. And God saw that it was good.
13 Και εγεινεν εσπερα και εγεινε πρωι, ημερα τριτη.	13 And it became evening and the morning, the third day.
14 Και ειπεν ο Θεος, Ας γεινωσι φωστηρες εν τω στερεωματι του ουρανου, δια να διαχωριζωσι την ημεραν απο της νυκτος? και ας ηναι δια σημεια και καιρους και ημερας και ενιαυτους?	14 Then God said: “Let there be lights in the firmament of heaven. And let them divide day from night, and let them become signs, both of the seasons, and of the days and years.
15 και ας ηναι δια φωστηρας εν τω στερεωματι του ουρανου, δια να φεγγωσιν επι της γης. Και εγεινεν ουτω.	15 Let them shine in the firmament of heaven and illuminate the earth.” And so it became.
16 Και εκαμεν ο Θεος τους δυο φωστηρας τους μεγαλους, τον φωστηρα τον μεγαν δια να εξουσιαζη επι της ημερας, και τον φωστηρα τον μικρον δια να εξουσιαζη επι της νυκτος? και τους αστερας?	16 And God made two great lights: a greater light, to rule over the day, and a lesser light, to rule over the night, along with the stars.
17 και εθεσεν αυτους ο Θεος εν τω στερεωματι του ουρανου, δια να φεγγωσιν επι της γης,	17 And he set them in the firmament of heaven, to give light over all the earth,
18 και να εξουσιαζωσιν επι της ημερας και επι της νυκτος και να διαχωριζωσι το φως απο του σκοτους. Και ειδεν ο Θεος οτι ητο καλον.	18 and to rule over the day as well as the night, and to divide light from darkness. And God saw that it was good.
19 Και εγεινεν εσπερα και εγεινε πρωι, ημερα τεταρτη.	19 And it became evening and morning, the fourth day.
20 Και ειπεν ο Θεος, Ας γεννησωσι τα υδατα εν αφθονια νηκτα εμψυχα και πετεινα ας πετωνται επανωθεν της γης κατα το στερεωμα του ουρανου.	20 And then God said, “Let the waters produce animals with a living soul, and flying creatures above the earth, under the firmament of heaven.”
21 Και εποιησεν ο Θεος τα κητη τα μεγαλα και παν εμψυχον κινουμενον, τα οποια εγεννησαν εν αφθονια τα υδατα κατα το ειδος αυτων, και παν πετεινον πτερωτον κατα το ειδος αυτου. Και ειδεν ο Θεος οτι ητο καλον.	21 And God created the great sea creatures, and everything with a living soul and the ability to move that the waters produced, according to their species, and all the flying creatures, according to their kind. And God saw that it was good.
22 Και ευλογησεν αυτα ο Θεος, λεγων, Αυξανεσθε και πληθυνεσθε και γεμισατε τα υδατα εν ταις θαλασσαις? και τα πετεινα ας πληθυνωνται επι της γης.	22 And he blessed them, saying: “Increase and multiply, and fill the waters of the sea. And let the birds be multiplied above the land.”
23 Και εγεινεν εσπερα και εγεινε πρωι, ημερα πεμπτη.	23 And it became evening and morning, the fifth day.
24 Και ειπεν ο Θεος, Ας γεννηση η γη ζωα εμψυχα κατα το ειδος αυτων, κτηνη και ερπετα και ζωα της γης κατα το ειδος αυτων? και εγεινεν ουτω.	24 God also said, “Let the land produce living souls in their kind: cattle, and animals, and wild beasts of the earth, according to their species.” And so it became.
25 Και εκαμεν ο Θεος τα ζωα της γης κατα το ειδος αυτων, και τα κτηνη κατα το ειδος αυτων, και παν ερπετον της γης κατα το ειδος αυτου. Και ειδεν ο Θεος οτι ητο καλον.	25 And God made the wild beasts of the earth according to their species, and the cattle, and every animal on the land, according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.
26 Και ειπεν ο θεος, Ας καμωμεν ανθρωπον κατ' εικονα ημων, καθ' ομοιωσιν ημων? και ας εξουσιαζη επι των ιχθυων της θαλασσης και επι των πετεινων του ουρανου και επι των κτηνων και επι πασης της γης και επι παντος ερπετου, ερποντος επι της γης.	26 And he said: “Let us make Man to our image and likeness. And let him rule over the fish of the sea, and the flying creatures of the air, and the wild beasts, and the entire earth, and every animal that moves on the earth.”
27 Και εποιησεν ο Θεος τον ανθρωπον κατ' εικονα εαυτου? κατ' εικονα Θεου εποιησεν αυτον? αρσεν και θηλυ εποιησεν αυτους?	27 And God created man to his own image; to the image of God he created him; male and female, he created them.
28 και ευλογησεν αυτους ο Θεος? και ειπε προς αυτους ο Θεος, Αυξανεσθε και πληθυνεσθε και γεμισατε την γην και κυριευσατε αυτην, και εξουσιαζετε επι των ιχθυων της θαλασσης και επι των πετεινων του ουρανου και επι παντος ζωου κινουμενου επι της γης.	28 And God blessed them, and he said, “Increase and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and the flying creatures of the air, and over every living thing that moves upon the earth.”
29 Και ειπεν ο Θεος, Ιδου, σας εδωκα παντα χορτον καμνοντα σπορον, οστις ειναι επι του προσωπου πασης της γης, και παν δενδρον, το οποιον εχει εν εαυτω καρπον δενδρου καμνοντος σπορον? ταυτα θελουσιν εισθαι εις εσας προς τροφην?	29 And God said: “Behold, I have given you every seed-bearing plant upon the earth, and all the trees that have in themselves the ability to sow their own kind, to be food for you,
30 και εις παντα τα ζωα της γης και εις παντα τα πετεινα του ουρανου και εις παν ερπετον ερπον επι της γης και εχον εν εαυτω ψυχην ζωσαν, εδωκα παντα χλωρον χορτον εις τροφην. Και εγεινεν ουτω.	30 and for all the animals of the land, and for all the flying things of the air, and for everything that moves upon the earth and in which there is a living soul, so that they may have these on which to feed.” And so it became.
31 Και ειδεν ο Θεος παντα οσα εποιησε? και ιδου, ησαν καλα λιαν. Και εγεινεν εσπερα και εγεινε πρωι, ημερα εκτη.	31 And God saw everything that he had made. And they were very good. And it became evening and morning, the sixth day.
