Þe Frymþ 1In þem Frymþ schoop Godd þie Hefens and þie Erðe. 2Nu was þie Erðe unheiw and lær, Þiestre was ofer þer Ruse þer Diepþ, and þe Gast Goddes swaf ofer þer Ruse þer Water. Þe ærste Daȝ: Liȝht 3And Godd kwaþ, "Werðe Liȝht!" and þa warþ Liȝht. 4And Godd saw þat þat Liȝht god was, and schedd þat Liȝht of þer Þiestre. 5And Godd heȝht þat Liȝht "Daȝ," and þie Þiestre heȝht he "Naȝht." And þa was Æfen, and þa was Morgen - þe ærste Daȝ. Þe tweȝnþe Daȝ: Hefen 6And Godd kwaþ, "Werðe ane Ƕalfe betwienen þen Watern, Water of Water to schaden." 7So schoop Godd þie Ƕalfe and schedd þat Water under þer Ƕalfe of þem Water bufen her. And it warþ so. 8And Godd heȝht þie Ƕalfe "Lyft." And þa was Æfen, and þa was Morgen - þe tweȝnþe Daȝ. Þe þridde Daȝ: Drieȝ Grund 9And God kwaþ, "Werðe þat Water under þer Lyft to anem Stedd gegæderd, and læt drieȝen Grund ætiewen." And it warþ so. 10And Godd heȝht þen drieȝen Grund "Land," and þie gegaderden Water heȝht he "Sæen." And Godd saw þat it god was. 11And Godd kwaþ, "Aspriete þat Land Grownes: sædberende Planten and Treen on þem Lande þe Ofet mid Sæden þærin bereþ, æfter heren syndrigen Kynnen on þer Erðe." And it warþ so. 12Þat Land asprot Grownes: sædberende Planten æfter heren Kynnen and ofetberende Tree mid Sæden þærin æfter heren Kynnen. And Godd saw þat it god was. 13And þa was Æfen, and þa was Morgen - þe þridde Daȝ. Þe Fierþe Daȝ: Sunne, Mone, Sterren 14And Godd kwaþ, "Werðeþ Liȝhter in þer Ƕalfe þer Lyft, þen Daȝ of þer Naȝht oftoschaden, and werðeþ hie to Taknen þeȝnen, godkunde Teimen, and Dæȝe, and Ȝære to gemarken, 15and werðeþ Liȝhter in þer Ƕalfe þer Lyft, for on þer Erðe to lieȝhten." And it warþ so. 16And Godd schoop þwa greate Liȝhter - þat grietere Liȝht for þen Daȝ to walden and þat læsse Liȝht for þie Naȝht to walden. He schoop eak þie Sterren. 17And Godd stallde hie in þie Ƕalfe þer Lyft for on þer Erðe to lieȝhten, 18for þen Daȝ and þie Naȝht to walden, and for þat Liȝht of þer Þiestre to schaden. And Godd saw þat it god was. 19And þa was Æfen, and þa was Morgen - þe fierþe Daȝ. Þe Feifte Daȝ: Fische and Fugeln And Godd kwaþ, "Tieme þat Water mid libbenden Wiȝhten, and fliegen Fugeln bufen þer Erðe þwers þie Ruse þer Ƕalfe þer Lyft." So Godd schoop þie greaten Orken þer Sæ and geƕilce libbende Wiȝht, þærmid þat Water tiemþ and þærin ƕirfþ, æfter heren Kynnen, and geƕilcen fyðerden Fugel æfter his Kynn. And Godd saw þat it god was. And Godd blesste hie and kwaþ, "Gewæstmbereþ and maniȝfaldeþ and fylleþ þat Water in þen Sæen, and maniȝfaldeþ þie Fugeln on þer Erðe. And þa was Æfen, and þa was Morgen - þe feifte Daȝ. Þe Sixte Daȝ: Wiȝhte on þem Lande And Godd kwaþ, " Tieme þat Land mid libbenden Wiȝhten æfter heren Kynnen: Feoȝh, þie Wiȝhte þe andlang þes Grundes ƕerfeþ, and þie wilden Deer, geƕilc æfter his Kynn." And it warþ so. And Godd schoop þie wilden Deer æfter heren Kynnen, þat Feoȝh æfter his Kynn, and alle þie Wiȝhte, þe andlang þes Grundes ƕerfeþ, æfter heren Kynnen. And God saw þat it god was. And Godd kwaþ, "Scheppeþ wiȝ Mannkynn in userer Anleiknes, and walden hie þie Fische in þer Sæ, þie Fugeln in þer Lyft, þat Feoȝh, alle wilden Deer, and alle Wiȝhte, þe andlang þes Grundes ƕerfeþ." So schoop Godd Mannkynn in seiner Anleiknes, in þer Anleiknes Goddes schoop he hie; werlic and weiflic schoop he hie. And Godd blesste hie and hem to kwaþ, "Wæstmbæreþ and maniȝfaldeþ; fylleþ þie Erðe and wældeþ schie. Waldeþ þie Fisch in þer Sæ and þie Fugeln in þer Lyft and geƕilce libbenden Wiȝhte þe on þem Grunde ƕerfeþ." And Godd kwaþ, "Gelokeþ! Ic habe ȝu geƕilce sædberende Plante on þer Ruse þer halen Erðe gegefen, and geƕilce Tree þe sædberende Ofet þærin bereþ. Hie beeþ ȝuer to Foden. 30And to allen þen Deeren þer Erðe and allen þen Fugeln in þer Lyft and allen Wiȝhten þe andlang þes Grundes ƕerfeþ - ælce Wiȝht þe þen Æðem Feorȝhes hafþ - ic habe geƕilce grœne Plante to Foden gegefen." And it warþ so. 31And Godd saw all þe he schoop, and it was sweiðe god. And þa was Æfen, and þa was Morgen - þe sixte Daȝ.
