The World’s Creation - First Part

At the beginning God created the sky

And the earth, wich was shapeless and desert

And the darkness cover’d the abysses close by;

But on the waters, with His divine, expert

Zeal, God established that the obscurity

Was opened to the bright alert!

And so came out the light.

It was named as day, and the dark as night.

Then beneath the waters, the firmament

Put God, and between them, below the dry land

He also put, where in a moment,

To any bud and tree He gave command

From seed to be produced for nourishment

Of any species, in ground, soil or sand!

After naming sky, earth and sea

To the following duty God had to begin.

Hereafter the lights in to the sky He set

Doing the moon and the sun for night and day,

And other signs and stars in dose correct,

To make years and seasons going away,

Because is much more than perfect

And furthermore of this I cannot say!

About this stanza therefore

I will not tell you anymore!

Fly off all the birds freely in the air

And splash about in to sea any fish;

Graze lambs, calves and livestock everywhere

In grassy lawns that will never languish;

Grow up reptiles fair and unfairs,

 living beings and monstrous and polish!

After the earth had all animals found

God ordered to them to multiply around.

Finally He sad: - “ Let’s make the man

To our image and similarity

to every animal to be on command!”

After doing that He sat quietly.

Since then, after six days, the next again

The man, in the seventh, stands restly,

Consecrating it for the rest and to the prayers,

Both the last hours and also the first!
