1.10 Et vocavit Deus aridam terram. BEDA, ibid. Prius ad distinctionem aquarum totam solidiorem mundi partem terram appellavit dicens: In principio creavit Deus cœlum et terram. Postquam mundus jam formari incipit, et terræ facies apparet, recedentibus aquis, ad distinctionem partis quæ adhuc premebatur aquis, portio quam aridam esse licebat, terræ nomen accepit, eo quod pedibus teratur. Congregationesque aquarum appellavit maria. Sic enim appellantur apud Hebræos omnes congregationes aquarum, sive salsæ, sive dulces. Et quia per continuationem omnium aquarum, quæ in terris sunt, dixit eas congregatas in unum locum, nunc vocat pluraliter congregationes aquarum, propter multifidos sinus earum. Cum multa constat esse maria, in unum tamen locum dicit aquas congregatas, quia cuncta magno mari junguntur. Si qui lacus in semetipsis stricti videntur, occultis tamen meatibus in mare revolvuntur: fossores quoque puteorum hoc probant, quia omnis tellus per invisibiles venas aquis repleta est, quibus ex mari principium est.

1.10 And he_called God aridam the_earth/land. BEDA, ibid. Prius to distinctionem waterrum totam solidiorem mundi partem the_earth/land he_called saying: In at_the_beginning created God cœlum and the_earth/land. Postquam mundus yam formari incipit, and terræ faces apparet, recedentibus aquis, to distinctionem partis which adhuc premebatur aquis, portio how aridam esse licebat, terræ nomen accepit, eo that feet teratur. Congregationesque waterrum he_called maria. So because appellantur apud Hebræos everyone congregationes waterrum, if/or salsæ, if/or dulces. And because through continuationem omnium waterrum, which in terris are, he_said eas congregatas in one locum, now vocat pluraliter congregationes waterrum, propter multifidos sinus of_them. Since multa constat esse maria, in one tamen place dicit waters congregatas, because cuncta magno of_the_sea yunguntur. When/But_if who lacus in semetipsis stricti videntur, occultis tamen meatibus in the_sea revolvuntur: fossores too puteorum this probant, because everyone tellus through invisibiles venas awho/any repleta it_is, to_whom from of_the_sea principium it_is.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

וַ⁠יִּקְרָ֨א אֱלֹהִ֤ים

and=he/it_called ʼElohīm

Alternate translation: “Then he named”

לַ⁠יַּבָּשָׁה֙

to_the=dry_ground

Alternate translation: “the dry land” or “the land that had dried off”

אֶ֔רֶץ

earth/land

This is the same Hebrew word that is translated as “earth” in verse 1, but here it refers to the dry land or ground (in contrast to the water), and not to the entire planet. Alternate translation: “Ground,”

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

וּ⁠לְ⁠מִקְוֵ֥ה הַ⁠מַּ֖יִם קָרָ֣א

and=to_the=collection the=waters he/it_called

See how you translated a sentence in verse 5 that is similar in structure to this sentence. Alternate translation: “and the waters that he had gathered together he named” or “and he called the gathered waters” or “and he called the waters that had come together”

יַמִּ֑ים

seas

At that time there was probably just one very large body of water and one very large land mass on the earth (as verse 9 indicates). So a singular noun that refers to the largest body of water, such as “Ocean” or “Sea”, could be used here in your translation. Alternate translation: “Oceans.”

Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns

וַ⁠יַּ֥רְא אֱלֹהִ֖ים

and=he/it_saw ʼElohīm

Decide whether it is more natural in your language to use a noun (God) or a pronoun (he) in this context. See how you translated this phrase in verse 4. Alternate translation: “And he saw” or “He saw”

כִּי טֽוֹב

that/for/because/then/when good

Some languages cannot use a pronoun (it) here, but have to specify what was good. Do what is best in your language. Also see how you translated the word good in verse 4, and see the note about that there. Alternate translation: “that what he had made was good” or “that the land and the seas were good”
