2Terra autem erat inanis et vacua, et tenebræ erant super faciem abyssi : et spiritus Dei ferebatur super aquas.
3Dixitque Deus : Fiat lux. Et facta est lux.
4Et vidit Deus lucem quod esset bona : et divisit lucem a tenebris.
5Appellavitque lucem Diem, et tenebras Noctem : factumque est vespere et mane, dies unus.

1In the beginning God created heaven, and earth.
2And the earth was void and empty, and darkness was upon the face of the deep; and the spirit of God moved over the waters.
3And God said: Be light made. And light was made.
4And God saw the light that it was good; and he divided the light from the darkness.
5And he called the light Day, and the darkness Night; and there was evening and morning one day.
