NOVA VULGATA	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 In principio creavit Deus caelum et terram.	1 In the beginning God created heaven, and earth.
2 Terra autem erat inanis et vacua, et tenebrae super faciem abyssi, et spiritus Dei ferebatur super aquas.	2 And the earth was void and empty, and darkness was upon the face of the deep; and the spirit of God moved over the waters.

6 Dixit quoque Deus: “Fiat firmamentum in medio aquarum et dividat aquas ab aquis”.	6 And God said: Let there be a firmament made amidst the waters: and let it divide the waters from the waters.
7 Et fecit Deus firmamentum divisitque aquas, quae erant sub firmamento, ab his, quae erant super firmamentum. Et factum est ita.	7 And God made a firmament, and divided the waters that were under the firmament, from those that were above the firmament, and it was so.
8 Vocavitque Deus firmamentum Caelum. Et factum est vespere et mane, dies secundus.	8 And God called the firmament, Heaven; and the evening and morning were the second day.
9 Dixit vero Deus: “Congregentur aquae, quae sub caelo sunt, in locum unum, et appareat arida”. Factumque est ita.	9 God also said: Let the waters that are under the heaven, be gathered together into one place: and let the dry land appear. And it was so done.

11 Et ait Deus: “Germinet terra herbam virentem et herbam facientem semen et lignum pomiferum faciens fructum iuxta genus suum, cuius semen in semetipso sit super terram”. Et factum est ita.	11 And he said: Let the earth bring forth the green herb, and such as may seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after its kind, which may have seed in itself upon the earth. And it was so done.

15 ut luceant in firmamento caeli et illuminent terram. Et factum est ita.	15 To shine in the firmament of heaven, and to give light upon the earth. And it was so done.
16 Fecitque Deus duo magna luminaria: luminare maius, ut praeesset diei, et luminare minus, ut praeesset nocti, et stellas.	16 And God made two great lights: a greater light to rule the day; and a lesser light to rule the night: and the stars.
17 Et posuit eas Deus in firmamento caeli, ut lucerent super terram	17 And he set them in the firmament of heaven to shine upon the earth.

21 Creavitque Deus cete grandia et omnem animam viventem atque motabilem, quam pullulant aquae secundum species suas, et omne volatile secundum genus suum. Et vidit Deus quod esset bonum;	21 And God created the great whales, and every living and moving creature, which the waters brought forth, according to their kinds, and every winged fowl according to its kind.
