Dixit quoque Deus: Fiat firmamentum in medio aquarum: et dividat aquas ab aquis.
And God said, “Let there be a vault between the waters to separate water from water.”
Fiat = Fiat is the jussive subjunctive form of the verb facio (to make, to build, sometimes to be).
Et fecit Deus firmamentum, divisitque aquas, quæ erant sub firmamento, ab his, quæ erant super firmamentum. Et factum est ita.
So God made the vault and separated the waters those under the vault from those above it. And it was so.
Vocavitque Deus firmamentum, Cælum: et factum est vespere et mane, dies secundus.
God called the vault “sky.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the second day.
