Genesis 1
1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
No princípio criou Deus os céus e a terra.
2 Now the earth was formless and void, and darkness was over the surface of the deep. And the Spirit of God 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 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.
E disse Deus: Haja luz: e houve luz.
4 And God saw that the light was good, and He separated 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.” And 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 And God said, “Let there be an expanse between the waters, to separate the waters from the waters.”
E disse Deus: Haja uma expansão no meio das águas, e haja separação entre águas e águas.
7 So God made the expanse and separated the waters beneath it from the waters above. 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.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the second day.
E chamou Deus à expansão Céus, e foi a tarde e a manhã o dia segundo.
9 And God said, “Let the waters under the sky be gathered into one place, so that the dry land may 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 of waters He called “seas.” And 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 Then God said, “Let the earth bring forth vegetation: seed-bearing plants and fruit trees, each bearing fruit with seed according to its kind.” 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 produced vegetation: seed-bearing plants according to their kinds and trees bearing fruit with seed according to their kinds. 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 And there was evening, and there was morning—the third day.
E foi a tarde, e a manhã, o dia terceiro.
14 And God said, “Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky to distinguish between the day and the night, and let them be signs to mark the seasons and 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 serve as lights in the expanse of the sky to shine upon the earth.” And it was so.
E sejam para luminares na expansão dos céus, para alumiar a terra: e assim foi.
16 God made two great lights: the greater light to rule the day and the lesser light to rule the night. And He made the stars as well.
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 these lights in the expanse of the sky to shine upon the earth,
E Deus os pôs na expansão dos céus para alumiar a terra,
18 to preside over the day and the night, and to separate the light from the darkness. And 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 And there was evening, and there was morning—the fourth day.
E foi a tarde, e a manhã, o dia quarto.
20 And God said, “Let the waters teem 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 So God created the great sea creatures and every living thing that moves, with which the waters teemed according to their kinds, and every bird of flight after its kind. And 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 Then God blessed them and said, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the waters of 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 And there was evening, and there was morning—the fifth day.
E foi a tarde, e a manhã, o dia quinto.
24 And God said, “Let the earth bring forth living creatures according to their kinds: livestock, land crawlers, and beasts of the earth according to their kinds.” 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 beasts of the earth according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and everything that crawls upon the earth according to its kind. And 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 Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, after Our likeness, to rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, and over all the earth itself and every creature that crawls upon it.”
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 So God created man in His own image; in the image of God 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 and said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it; rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and every creature that crawls upon 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 Then God said, “Behold, I have given you every seed-bearing plant on the face of all the earth, and every tree whose fruit contains seed. They will be yours for 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 And to every beast of the earth and every bird of the air and every creature that crawls upon the earth—everything that has the breath of life in it—I have given every green plant 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 And God looked upon all that He had made, and indeed, it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the 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.
