בראשׁית בְּחוּכְמָא בְּרָא יְיָ:

Targum Jerusalem, trans. J. W. Etheridge, London, 1862

In wisdom (be-hukema) the Lord created.

וְאַרְעָא הֲוַת תַּהֲיָא וּבַהֲיָא וְצָדוּ מִן בְּנֵי אֱנָשָׁא וְרֵיקַנְיָא מִכָּל בְּעִיר וְרוּחָא דְרַחֲמִין מִן קֳדָם יְיָ הֲוַת מְנַשְׁבָא עַל אַפֵּי מַיָא:

Targum Jerusalem, trans. J. W. Etheridge, London, 1862

And the earth was vacancy and desolation, and solitary of the sons of men, and void of every animal; and the Spirit of mercies from before the Lord breathed upon the face of the waters.

וַהֲוָה רְמַשׁ וַהֲוָה צְפַר סְדַר עוֹבַד בְּרֵאשִׁית יוֹם קֳדָמָי:

Targum Jerusalem, trans. J. W. Etheridge, London, 1862

And it was evening, and it was morning, in the order of the work of the creation, (or of the beginning) the First Day.

וִיהִי מַפְרִישׁ בֵּין מַיָא עִילָאִי וּבֵין מַיָא אַרְעָאִי:

Targum Jerusalem, trans. J. W. Etheridge, London, 1862

And let there be a separation between the waters above and the waters below.

וִיהוֹן לְאָתִין לְמוֹעֲדִין וּלְמַקְדְשָׁא בְּהוֹן רֵישֵׁי יַרְחִין וּשְׁנִין:

Targum Jerusalem, trans. J. W. Etheridge, London, 1862

And let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for the sanctifying by them of the beginning of months and years.

וּבְרָא מֵימְרָא דַיְיָ יַת אָדָם בִּדְמוּתֵיהּ בִּדְמוּת מִן קֳדָם יְיָ בְּרָא יָתֵיהּ דְכַר וְזוּגֵיהּ בְּרָא יַתְהוֹן:

Targum Jerusalem, trans. J. W. Etheridge, London, 1862

And the Word of the Lord created man in His likeness, in the likeness of the presence of the Lord He created him, the male and his yoke-fellow He created them.
