创世纪；(喻)万物起源

In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.

And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.

And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.

And God called the firmament Heaven the evening and the morning were the second day.

And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.

And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.

And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.

And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

And the evening and the morning were the third day.

And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:

And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.

And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.

And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth.

And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.

And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.

And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.

And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.

And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.

And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.

And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.

And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, Wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meaf.and it was so.

And God saw every thing that he had made, and behold, it was very good.And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.

Gen. 1:1-31

起初神创造天地。

地是空虑混沌，渊面黑暗；神的灵运行在水面上。

神说：“要有光”，就有了光。

神看光是好的，就把光暗分开了。

神称光为昼，称暗为夜。

有晚上，有早晨，这是头一日。

神说：“诸水之间要有空气，将水分为上下。”

神就造出空气，将空气以下的水、空气以上的水分开。事就这样成了。

神称空气为天。有晚上，有早晨，是第二日。

神说：“天下的水要聚在一处，使旱地露出来。”事就这样成了。

神称旱地为地，称水的聚处为海。神看着是好的。

神说：“地要发生青草和结种子的菜蔬，并结果子的树木，各从其类，果子都包着核。”事就这样成了。

于是地发生了青草和结种子的菜蔬，各从其类；并结果子的树木，各从其类，果子都包着核。神看着是好的。

有晚上，有早晨，是第三日。

神说：“天上要有光体，可以分昼夜，作记号，定节令、日子、年岁!

并要发光在天空，普照在地上。”事就这样成了。

于是神造了两个大光，大的管昼，小的管夜，又造众星，

就把这些光摆列在天空，普照在地上，

管理昼夜，分别明暗。神看着是好的。

有晚上，有早晨，是第四日。

神说：“水要多多滋生有生命的物，要有雀鸟飞在地面以上，天空之中。”

神就造出大鱼和水中所滋生各样有生命的动物，各从其类；又造出各样飞鸟，各从其类。

神看着是好的。

神就赐福给这一切，说：“滋生繁多，充满海中的水，雀鸟也要多生在地上。”

有晚上、有早晨，是第五日。

神说：“地要生出活物来，各从其类；牲畜、昆虫、野兽，各从其类。”事就这样成了。

于是神造出野兽，各从其类；牲畜，各从其类；地上一切昆虫，各从其类。

神看着是好的。

神说：“我们要照着我们的形象，按着我们的样式造人，使他们管理海里的鱼、空中的鸟、地上的牲畜和全地，并地上所爬的一切昆虫。”

神就照着自己的形象造人，乃是照着他的形象造男造女。

神就赐福给他们，又对他们说：“要生养众多，遍满地面，治理这地；也要管理海里的鱼、空中的鸟，和地上各样行动的活物。”

神说：“看哪，我将遍地上一切结种子的菜蔬，和一切树上所结有核的果子，全赐给你们作食物。

“至于地上的走兽和空中的飞鸟，并各样爬在地上有生命的物，我将青草赐给它们作食物。”事就这样成了。

神看着一切所造的都甚好。

有晚上、有早晨，是第六日。

《创世纪》1∶1－31

Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.

And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work he had made.

And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.

These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens.

And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the Lord God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground.

But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.

And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life: and man became a living soul.

And the Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.

And out of the ground made the Lord God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads.

The name of the first is Pison: that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold:

And the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone.

And the name of the second river is Gihon: the same is it that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia.

And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: that is it which goeth toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth river is Euphrates.

And the Lord God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.

And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:

But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.

And out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.

And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him.

And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof.

And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.

And Adam said. This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall he called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.

Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one fiesh.

And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.

Gen.2:1-25

天地万物都造齐了。

到第七日，神造物的工已经完毕，就在第七日歇了他一切的工安息了。

神赐福给第七日，定为圣日，因为在这日神歇了他一切创造的工，就安息了。

创造天地的来历，在耶和华神造天地的日子，乃是这样：

野地还没有草木，田间的菜蔬还没有长起来，因为耶和华神还没有降雨在地上，也没有人耕地，

但有雾气从地上腾，滋润遍地。

耶和华神用地上的尘土造人，将生气吹在他鼻孔里，他就成了有灵的活人，名叫亚当。

耶和华神在东方的伊甸立了一个园子，把所造的人安置在那里。

耶和华神使各样的树从地里长出来，可以悦人的眼目，其上的果子好作食物。

园子当中又有生命树和分别善恶的树。

有河从伊甸流出来滋润那园子，从那里分为四道：

第一道名叫比逊，就是环绕哈腓拉全地的。

在那里有金子，

并且那地的金子是好的；在那里又有珍珠和红玛瑙。

第二道河名叫基训，就是环绕古实全地的。

第三道河名叫希衣结，流在亚述在东边。第四道河就是伯拉河。

耶和华神将那人安置在伊甸园，使他修理看守。

耶和华神咐咐他说：“园中各样树上的果子，你可以随意吃，

“只是分别善恶树上的果子，你不可吃，因为你吃的日子必定死。”

耶和华神说：“那人独居不好，我要为他造一个配偶帮助他。”

耶和华神用土所造成的野地各样走兽和空中各样飞鸟都带到那人面前，看他叫什么。那人怎样叫各样的活物，那就是它的名字。

那人便给一切牲畜和空中飞鸟，野地走兽都起了名，只是那人没有遇见配偶帮助他。

耶和华神使他沉睡，他就睡了；于是取下他的一条肋骨，又把肉合起来。

耶和华神就用那人身上所取的肋骨造成一个女人，领她到那人跟前。

那人说：“这是我骨中的骨，肉中的肉，可以称她为女人，因为她是从男人身上取出来的。”

因此，人要离开父母与妻子连合，两人成为一体。

当时夫妻两人赤身露体并不害羞。
