Genesi 1

Nuova Riveduta 2006



1 Nel principio Dio creò i cieli e la terra. 2 La terra era informe e vuota, le tenebre coprivano la faccia dell’abisso e lo Spirito di Dio aleggiava sulla superficie delle acque. 3 Dio disse: «Sia luce!» E luce fu. 4 Dio vide che la luce era buona; e Dio separò la luce dalle tenebre. 5 Dio chiamò la luce «giorno» e le tenebre «notte». Fu sera, poi fu mattina: primo giorno. 6 Poi Dio disse: «Vi sia una distesa tra le acque, che separi le acque dalle acque». 7 Dio fece la distesa e separò le acque che erano sotto la distesa dalle acque che erano sopra la distesa. E così fu. 8 Dio chiamò la distesa «cielo». Fu sera, poi fu mattina: secondo giorno. 9 Poi Dio disse: «Le acque che sono sotto il cielo siano raccolte in un unico luogo e appaia l’asciutto». E così fu. 10 Dio chiamò l’asciutto «terra», e chiamò la raccolta delle acque «mari». Dio vide che questo era buono. 11 Poi Dio disse: «Produca la terra della vegetazione, delle erbe che facciano seme e degli alberi fruttiferi che, secondo la loro specie, portino del frutto avente in sé la propria semenza, sulla terra». E così fu. 12 La terra produsse della vegetazione, delle erbe che facevano seme secondo la loro specie e degli alberi che portavano del frutto avente in sé la propria semenza, secondo la loro specie. Dio vide che questo era buono. 13 Fu sera, poi fu mattina: terzo giorno. 14 Poi Dio disse: «Vi siano delle luci nella distesa dei cieli per separare il giorno dalla notte; siano dei segni per le stagioni, per i giorni e per gli anni; 15 facciano luce nella distesa dei cieli per illuminare la terra». E così fu. 16 Dio fece le due grandi luci: la luce maggiore per presiedere al giorno e la luce minore per presiedere alla notte; e fece pure le stelle. 17 Dio le mise nella distesa dei cieli per illuminare la terra, 18 per presiedere al giorno e alla notte e separare la luce dalle tenebre. Dio vide che questo era buono. 19 Fu sera, poi fu mattina: quarto giorno. 20 Poi Dio disse: «Producano le acque in abbondanza esseri viventi, e volino degli uccelli sopra la terra per l’ampia distesa del cielo». 21 Dio creò i grandi animali acquatici e tutti gli esseri viventi che si muovono, e che le acque produssero in abbondanza secondo la loro specie, e ogni volatile secondo la sua specie. Dio vide che questo era buono. 22 Dio li benedisse dicendo: «Crescete, moltiplicatevi e riempite le acque dei mari, e si moltiplichino gli uccelli sulla terra». 23 Fu sera, poi fu mattina: quinto giorno. 24 Poi Dio disse: «Produca la terra animali viventi secondo la loro specie: bestiame, rettili e animali selvatici della terra, secondo la loro specie». E così fu. 25 Dio fece gli animali selvatici della terra secondo le loro specie, il bestiame secondo le sue specie e tutti i rettili della terra secondo le loro specie. Dio vide che questo era buono. 



26 Poi Dio disse: «Facciamo l’uomo a nostra immagine, conforme alla nostra somiglianza, e abbiano dominio sui pesci del mare, sugli uccelli del cielo, sul bestiame, su tutta la terra e su tutti i rettili che strisciano sulla terra». 27 Dio creò l’uomo a sua immagine; lo creò a immagine di Dio; li creò maschio e femmina. 28 Dio li benedisse; e Dio disse loro: «Siate fecondi e moltiplicatevi; riempite la terra, rendetevela soggetta, dominate sui pesci del mare e sugli uccelli del cielo e sopra ogni animale che si muove sulla terra». 29 Dio disse: «Ecco, io vi do ogni erba che fa seme sulla superficie di tutta la terra, e ogni albero fruttifero che fa seme; questo vi servirà di nutrimento. 30 A ogni animale della terra, a ogni uccello del cielo e a tutto ciò che si muove sulla terra e ha in sé un soffio di vita, io do ogni erba verde per nutrimento». E così fu. 31 Dio vide tutto quello che aveva fatto, ed ecco, era molto buono. Fu sera, poi fu mattina: sesto giorno.

Genesi 1

English Standard Version



1 In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. (Giob 38,4; Sal 33,6; Sal 136,5; Is 42,5; Is 45,18; Giov 1,1; At 14,15; At 17,24; Col 1,16; Eb 1,10; Eb 11,3; Ap 4,11) 2 The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. (Ger 4,23) 3 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. (2Co 4,6) 4 And God saw that the light was good. And God separated the light from the darkness. 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 said, “Let there be an expanse[1] in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters.” (Giob 37,18; Sal 136,5; Ger 10,12; Ger 51,15) 7 And God made[2] the expanse and separated the waters that were under the expanse from the waters that were above the expanse. And it was so. (Sal 148,4; Prov 8,27) 8 And God called the expanse Heaven.[3] And there was evening and there was morning, the second day. 9 And God said, “Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear.” And it was so. (Giob 38,8; Sal 33,7; Sal 136,6; Ger 5,22; 2P 3,5) 10 God called the dry land Earth,[4] and the waters that were gathered together he called Seas. And God saw that it was good. 11 And God said, “Let the earth sprout vegetation, plants[5] yielding seed, and fruit trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind, on the earth.” And it was so. (Sal 104,14) 12 The earth brought forth vegetation, plants yielding seed according to their own kinds, and trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. 13 And there was evening and there was morning, the 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 for signs and for seasons,[6] and for days and years, (Sal 104,19; Ger 10,2; Ez 32,7; Gioe 2,30; Gioe 3,15; Mat 24,29; Lu 21,25) 15 and let them be lights in the expanse of the heavens to give light upon the earth.” And it was so. 16 And God made the two great lights—the greater light to rule the day and the lesser light to rule the night—and the stars. (De 4,19; Sal 136,7) 17 And God set them in the expanse of the heavens to give light on 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. (Ger 31,35) 19 And there was evening and there was morning, the fourth day. 20 And God said, “Let the waters swarm with swarms of living creatures, and let birds[7] fly above the earth across the expanse of the heavens.” 21 So God created the great sea creatures and every living creature that moves, with which the waters swarm, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. (Sal 104,25) 22 And God blessed them, saying, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth.” (Gen 8,17; Gen 9,1) 23 And there was evening and there was morning, the fifth day. 24 And God said, “Let the earth bring forth living creatures according to their kinds—livestock and creeping things and beasts of the earth according to their kinds.” And it was so. 25 And God made the beasts of the earth according to their kinds and the livestock according to their kinds, and everything that creeps on the ground according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. 26 Then God said, “Let us make man[8] in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” (Gen 3,22; Gen 5,1; Gen 9,2; Gen 9,6; Gen 11,7; Sal 8,6; Is 6,8; 1Co 11,7; Ef 4,24; Col 3,10; Giac 3,7; Giac 3,9) 27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. (Gen 2,18; Gen 2,21; Gen 5,2; Mal 2,15; Mat 19,4; Mar 10,6) 28 And God blessed them. And God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” (Gen 9,1; Gen 9,7) 29 And God said, “Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit. You shall have them for food. (Gen 9,3; Sal 104,14; Sal 145,15) 30 And to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the heavens and to everything that creeps on the earth, everything that has the breath of life, I have given every green plant for food.” And it was so. (Sal 147,9) 31 And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day. (Ec 7,29; 1Ti 4,4)
