Genesis 1 — English–Hebrew Parallel

1 In the raashayath (beginning), Alahayam (God) baraa (created) Ath (the entirety of) the Shamayam (Heavens) and Ath (the entirety of) the Aratz (Earth).

2 And the Aratz (earth) hayathah (became) thahaw (formless) and bahaw (void). And chashak (darkness) was il (over) panayam (the face) of thahawam (the depths). And the Rawach (spirit / wind) of Alahayam (God) marachapath (hovered) il (over) the panayam (face) of the Mayam (waters).

3 And Alahayam (God) amar (spoke), "hayah (be) awar (light)," and hayah (became) awar (light).

4 Alahayam (God) raah (saw) the ath (entirety) of the awar (light); kay (surely) it was tawab (good / proper function). And Alahayam (God) badal (divided) bayan (between) the awar (light) bayan (between) the chashak (darkness).

5 And Alahayam (God) qaraa (called) the awar (light) "Yawam (Day)," and the chashak (darkness) He qaraa (called) "Layalah (Night)." Hayah (came) irab (evening) and hayah (came) baqar (morning) — yawam (day) achad (one).

6 And amar (said) Alahayam (God), "Hayah (come into existence) Raqayai (firmament) in the thawak (midst) of the mayam (waters), and mabadayal (cause separation) bayan (between) mayam (the waters) to mayam (waters)."

7 And Alahayam (God) ishah (made) the ath (entirety) of the raqayai (firmament), and badal (separated) bayan (between) the mayam (waters) ashar (which was) thachath (under) the raqayai (firmament) bayan (between) the mayam (waters) which are il (from above) the raqayai (firmament) — WaYaHayah (and this came to pass), kan (for sure).

8 And Alahayam (God) qaraa (called) the raqayai (firmament) "Shamayam (Heavens)." WaHayah (and came to pass) irab (evening) WaHayah (and came to pass) baqar (morning) — yawam (day) shanay (second).

9 Alahayam (God) amar (said), "qawah (gather) the mayam (waters) which are under the shamayam (heavens) al (to) achad (one) maqawam (place), and let the yabashah (dry land) raah (be visible);" — WaHayah (and this came to pass), kan (for sure).

10 And Alahayam (God) qaraa (called) the yabashah (dry land) "Aratz (earth)," and the maqawah (gathering of) the mayam (waters) He qaraa (called) "Yamayam (seas/waters)." And Alahayam (God) raah (saw), kay (surely) tawab (it was good / functional).

11 And Alahayam (God) amar (said), "ThaDashaa (sprout) upon the Aratz (earth) dashaa (herb/vegetation) — ishab (the plant) MaZarayai (yielding) zarai (seed), paray (fruit) itz (trees) who ishah (make) paray (fruit) for his mayan (species) ashar (whose) zarai (seed) is baw (within him) il (while on) the aratz (earth)." WaYahayah (And this came to pass) kan (for sure).

12 And Yawatzaa (brought forth) the Aratz (earth) ishab (plants) MaZarayai (yielding) zarai (seed) for his mayan (species), and itz (trees) that make paray (fruit) ashar (whose) zarai (seed) is within the males of his mayan (species). And Alahayam (God) raah (saw), kay (surely) tawab (it was good/proper functioning).

13 WaYaHayah (And came to pass) irab (evening), WaYaHayah (and came to pass) baqar (morning) — the shalayashay (third) yawam (day).

14 And Alahayam (God) amar (said), <YaHayah (come into being) maawarath (luminaries / stars) in the raqayai (firmament) of the Shamayam (Heavens) and cause badayal (the division) bayan (between) the yawam (day) and bayan (between) the layalah (night). WaYaHayah (And their existence) be for awath (signs / marks / miracles) and for Mawaidayam (Feasts / appointed meetings), and for yawamayam (days), and shanahayam (years).

15 WaHayahaw (And let them be) for maawarath (luminaries / lights) in the raqayai (firmament) of the Shamayam (Heavens), to awayar (shine) il (upon) the Aratz (Earth).> WaYahayah (And this came to pass) kan (for sure).

16 And ishah (made) Alahayam (God) ath (the entirety of) the shanayam (two) gadawalayam (great) Maawarath (luminaries / lights): ath (the entirety of) the gadawal (greater) maawar (Luminary / Light) to mamashalah (rule) the yawam (day), and ath (the entirety of) the qatan (lesser) maawar (Luminary / Light) to mamashalah (rule) the layalah (night). And ath (the entirety of the) kawakabayam (stars).

17 And Alahayam (God) nathan (placed) ath (the entirety of) them in the raqayai (firmament) of the Shamayam (Heavens) to awayar (shine) il (upon) the Aratz (Earth),

18 And to mashal (rule/have dominion) in the yawam (day) and in the layalah (night), and cause badayal (division) bayan (between) the awar (light) and bayan (between) the chashak (darkness). And Alahayam (God) raah (saw), kay (surely) tawab (it was good / in proper function).

19 WaYaHayah (And came to pass) irab (evening), WaYaHayah (and came to pass) baqar (morning) — the rabayaiy (fourth) yawam (day).

20 And Alahayam (God) amar (said): “Sharatzaw (let it be swarms) in the mayam (Waters) of sharatz (swarming things), may she have chay (living) napash (souls), and iwap (fly) iwapap (flying creatures) il (over) the Aratz (Earth), il (across) panayam (the face) raqayai (of the firmament) of the shamayam (sky).”

21 And Alahayam (God) Baraa (Created) ath (the entirety of) the gadawalayam (great) thanayanam (sea creatures / dragons), WaAthaKal (and the entirety of every) chayah (living) napash (soul) that ramashath (creeps / moves about) ashar (that) sharatzaw (swarms) the mayam (waters) — according to their mayan (species). WaAthaKal (And the entirety of every) iwap (flying) kanap (winged creature) — according to their mayan (species). And Alahayam (God) raah (saw), kay (surely) tawab (it was good / in proper function).

22 And Alahayam (God) barak (blessed) atham (the entirety of them), amar (saying), “parahaw (increase / bear fruit), and rabahaw (become many / multiply), and malaaw (fill) 𐤀𐤕 (the entirety of) the mayam (Waters) — in yamayam (the seas), and the iwap (flying creatures) rabah (become many / multiply) in the aratz (Earth).”

23 WaYaHayah (And came to pass) irab (evening), WaYaHayah (and came to pass) baqar (morning) — the chamayashay (fifth) yawam (day).

24 And Alahayam (God) amar (said), “ThaYawatzaa (let bring forth) the aratz (Earth) chayah (living) napash (souls) LaMayanah (according to their species), bahamah (animals / beasts), and ramash (creeping things), and let the aratz (earth) have chay (life) — LaMayanah (according to their species).” WaYaHayah (And this came to pass) kan (for sure).

25 So Alahayam (God) ishah (made) 𐤀𐤕 (the entirety of) chayath (the living things) on the Aratz (earth) LaMayanah (according to their species): 𐤀𐤕 (the entirety of) the bahamah (animals / beasts) LaMayanah (according to their species), WaAthaKal (and the entirety of every) ramash (creeping / moving thing) on the adamah (ground) LaMayanaw (according to his species). And Alahayam (God) raah (saw) — kay (surely) tawab (it was good / in proper function).

26 Then Alahayam (God) amar (said), "NaIshah (let us make) adam (mankind) BaTzalamanaw (in our likeness), KaDamawathanaw (as our resemblance / similitude), WaYaRadahaw (and let them have dominion over) the dagah (fish) of the yam (sea), and iwap (flying creatures) of the shamayam (sky), and kal (every kind of) bahamah (animal / beast) in the Aratz (earth), WaBaKal (and over every) ramash (creeping / moving thing) that ramash (creeps) il (upon) HaAratz (the earth)."

27 Then Alahayam (God) baraa (created) 𐤀𐤕 (the entirety of) HaAdam (the man). BaTzalamaw (In His likeness), BaTzalam (in the likeness of) Alahayam (God) YaBaraa (He created) athaw (the entirety of him); zakar (male) and naqabah (female), YaBaraa (He created) atham (the entirety of them).

28 Then Alahayam (God) barak (blessed) atham (the entirety of them) and amar (said) lam (to them): "Parahaw (May you bear fruit / increase), and rabahaw (may you multiply / become many), and malaaw (may you fill) 𐤀𐤕 (the entirety of) the Aratz (earth) and kabashah (subdue it) and radahaw (rule over) the dagahath (fish) of the yam (sea), and over the iwap (flying creatures) of the shamayam (sky), WaBaKal (and of every) chayah (living thing) that ramashath (creeps / moves) il (upon) the Aratz (earth)."

29 And Alahayam (God) amar (said), <Hanah (Behold), nathanathay (I give) lakam (for you) AthaKal (the entirety of every) ishab (plant) zarai (yielding) zarai (seed) ashar (that is) il (upon) panayam (the surface) kal (throughout) the Aratz (Earth), and AthaKal (the entirety of every) itz (tree) ashar (that) baw (has) paray (fruit), itz (trees) zarai (that sow) zarai (seed). LaKam (for you) YaHayah (it will be) for akalah (food).

30 WaLaKal (And for every) chayath (living creature) on the Aratz (Earth), WaLaKal (and for every) iwap (flying creature) of the shamayam (sky), WaLaKal (and for every) rawamash (creeping thing) il (upon) the Aratz (Earth), ashar (who) baw (has) chayah (a living) napash (soul) AthaKal (the entirety of every) yaraq (green) ishab (plant) LaAkal (is for food).> WaYaHayah (And this came to pass) kan (for sure).

31 And Alahayam (God) raah (saw) AthaKal (the entirety of every) ashar (thing) YaIshah (He made), WaHanah (and behold), maad (it was exceedingly / very) tawab (good / in proper function). WaYaHayah (And it came to pass) irab (evening) WaYaHayah (and came to pass) baqar (morning) — the shashay (sixth) yawam (day).
