translations with a Hebraic voice (Genesis 1:26)

English:
God said: Let us make humankind, in our image, according to our likeness!
Let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, the fowl of the heavens, animals, all the earth, and all crawling things that crawl about upon the earth!

German:
Gott sprach: Machen wir den Menschen in unserem Bild nach unserem Gleichnis!
Sie sollen schalten über das Fischvolk des Meeres, den Vogel des Himmels, das Getier, die Erde all, und alles Gerege, das auf Erden sich regt.

Source: Buber / Rosenzweig 1976

French:
Elohîms dit: « Nous ferons Adâm le Glébeux
à notre réplique, selon notre ressemblance.
Ils assujettiront le poisson de la mer, le volatile des ciels,
la bête, toute la terre, tout reptile qui rampe sur la terre. »

Source: Chouraqui 1985
