1:15 并要发光在天空,普照在地上。事就这样成了。
And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.
1:16 于是神造了两个大光,大的管昼,小的管夜。又造众星。
And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.
1:17 就把这些光摆列在天空,普照在地上。
And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,
1:18 管理昼夜,分别明暗。神看着是好的。
And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.
