Genesis 1
1 In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.
No princípio criou Deus os céus e a terra.
2 The earth was formless and empty. Darkness was on the surface of the deep and God’s Spirit was hovering over the surface of the waters.
E a terra era sem forma e vazia; e havia trevas sobre a face do abismo: e o espírito de Deus se movia sobre a face das águas.
3 God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.
E disse Deus: Haja luz: e houve luz.
4 God saw the light, and saw that it was good. God divided the light from the darkness.
E viu Deus que era boa a luz: e fez Deus separação entre a luz e as trevas.
5 God called the light “day”, and the darkness he called “night”. There was evening and there was morning, the first day.
E Deus chamou à luz Dia; e às trevas chamou Noite. E foi a tarde e a manhã, o dia primeiro.
6 God said, “Let there be an expanse in the middle of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.”
E disse Deus: Haja uma expansão no meio das águas, e haja separação entre águas e águas.
7 God made the expanse, and divided the waters which were under the expanse from the waters which were above the expanse; and it was so.
E fez Deus a expansão, e fez separação entre as águas que estavam debaixo da expansão e as águas que estavam sobre a expansão: e assim foi.
8 God called the expanse “sky”. There was evening and there was morning, a second day.
E chamou Deus à expansão Céus, e foi a tarde e a manhã o dia segundo.
9 God said, “Let the waters under the sky be gathered together to one place, and let the dry land appear;” and it was so.
E disse Deus: Ajuntem-se as águas debaixo dos céus num lugar; e apareça a porção seca: e assim foi.
10 God called the dry land “earth”, and the gathering together of the waters he called “seas”. God saw that it was good.
E chamou Deus à porção seca Terra; e ao ajuntamento das águas chamou Mares: e viu Deus que era bom.
11 God said, “Let the earth yield grass, herbs yielding seeds, and fruit trees bearing fruit after their kind, with their seeds in it, on the earth;” and it was so.
Disse Deus: Produza a terra erva verde, erva que dê semente, árvore frutífera que dê fruto segundo a sua espécie, cuja semente está nela sobre a terra: e assim foi.
12 The earth yielded grass, herbs yielding seed after their kind, and trees bearing fruit, with their seeds in it, after their kind; and God saw that it was good.
E a terra produziu erva, erva dando semente conforme a sua espécie, e a árvore frutífera, cuja semente está nela conforme a sua espécie: e viu Deus que era bom.
13 There was evening and there was morning, a third day.
E foi a tarde, e a manhã, o dia terceiro.
14 God said, “Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs to mark seasons, days, and years;
E disse Deus: Haja luminares na expansão dos céus, para haver separação entre o dia e a noite; e sejam eles para sinais e para tempos determinados e para dias e anos.
15 and let them be for lights in the expanse of the sky to give light on the earth;” and it was so.
E sejam para luminares na expansão dos céus, para alumiar a terra: e assim foi.
16 God made the two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night. He also made the stars.
E fez Deus os dois grandes luminares: o luminar maior para governar o dia, e o luminar menor para governar a noite; e as estrelas.
17 God set them in the expanse of the sky to give light to the earth,
E Deus os pôs na expansão dos céus para alumiar a terra,
18 and to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness. God saw that it was good.
E para governar o dia e a noite, e para fazer separação entre a luz e as trevas: e viu Deus que era bom.
19 There was evening and there was morning, a fourth day.
E foi a tarde, e a manhã, o dia quarto.
20 God said, “Let the waters abound with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth in the open expanse of the sky.”
E disse Deus: Produzam as águas abundantemente réptis de alma vivente; e vôem as aves sobre a face da expansão dos céus.
21 God created the large sea creatures and every living creature that moves, with which the waters swarmed, after their kind, and every winged bird after its kind. God saw that it was good.
E Deus criou as grandes baleias, e todo o réptil de alma vivente que as águas abundantemente produziram conforme as suas espécies; e toda a ave de asas conforme a sua espécie: e viu Deus que era bom.
22 God blessed them, saying, “Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth.”
E Deus as abençoou, dizendo: frutificai e multiplicai-vos, e enchei as águas nos mares; e as aves se multipliquem na terra.
23 There was evening and there was morning, a fifth day.
E foi a tarde, e a manhã, o dia quinto.
24 God said, “Let the earth produce living creatures after their kind, livestock, creeping things, and animals of the earth after their kind;” and it was so.
E disse Deus: Produza a terra alma vivente conforme a sua espécie; gado e réptis, e bestas feras da terra conforme a sua espécie: e assim foi.
25 God made the animals of the earth after their kind, and the livestock after their kind, and everything that creeps on the ground after its kind. God saw that it was good.
E fez Deus as bestas feras da terra conforme a sua espécie, e o gado conforme a sua espécie, e todo o réptil da terra conforme a sua espécie: e viu Deus que era bom.
26 God said, “Let’s make man in our image, after our likeness. Let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the sky, and over the livestock, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”
E disse Deus: Façamos o homem à nossa imagem, conforme à nossa semelhança: e domine sobre os peixes do mar, e sobre as aves dos céus, e sobre o gado, e sobre toda a terra, e sobre todo o réptil que se move sobre a terra.
27 God created man in his own image. In God’s image he created him; male and female he created them.
E criou Deus o homem à sua imagem: à imagem de Deus o criou: macho e fêmea os criou.
28 God blessed them. God said to them, “Be fruitful, multiply, fill the earth, and subdue it. Have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the sky, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”
E Deus os abençoou, e Deus lhes disse: frutificai e multiplicai-vos, e enchei a terra, e sujeitai-a: e dominai sobre os peixes do mar, e sobre as aves dos céus, e sobre todo o animal que se move sobre a terra.
29 God said, “Behold, I have given you every herb yielding seed, which is on the surface of all the earth, and every tree, which bears fruit yielding seed. It will be your food.
E disse Deus: Eis que vos tenho dado toda a erva que dá semente, que está sobre a face de toda a terra; e toda a árvore, em que há fruto de árvore que dá semente, ser-vos-a para mantimento.
30 To every animal of the earth, and to every bird of the sky, and to everything that creeps on the earth, in which there is life, I have given every green herb for food;” and it was so.
E todo o animal da terra, e toda a ave dos céus, e todo o réptil da terra, em que há alma vivente; toda a erva verde será para mantimento: e assim foi.
31 God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. There was evening and there was morning, a sixth day.
E viu Deus tudo quanto tinha feito, e eis que era muito bom: e foi a tarde, e a manhã, o dia sexto.
