1
起初神创造天地。
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
1:2
地是空虚混沌。渊面黑暗。神的灵运行在水面上。
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.
1:3
神说，要有光，就有了光。
And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light.
1:4
神看光是好的，就把光暗分开了。
God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness.
1:5
神称光为昼，称暗为夜。有晚上，有早晨，这是头一日。
God called the light "day," and the darkness he called "night." And there was evening, and there was morning--the first day.
1:6
神说，诸水之间要有空气，将水分为上下。
And God said, "Let there be an expanse between the waters to separate water from water."
1:7
神就造出空气，将空气以下的水，空气以上的水分开了。事就这样成了。
So God made the expanse and separated the water under the expanse from the water above it. And it was so.
