Genesis 1
1 Long, long ago God created the heavens and the earth.
No principio creou Deus os céus e a terra.
2 When he began to create the earth, it was shapeless and completely desolate/chaotic. Darkness covered the deep water that surrounded the earth. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the water.
E a terra era sem fórma e vasia; e havia trevas sobre a face do abysmo: e o Espirito de Deus se movia sobre a face das aguas.
3 God said, “I want light to shine!” And light shone.
E disse Deus: Haja luz: e houve luz.
4 God was pleased with the light. Then he made the light to shine in some places, and in other places there was still darkness.
E viu Deus que era boa a luz: e fez Deus separação entre a luz e as trevas.
5 He gave to the light the name ‘day’, and he gave to the darkness the name ‘night’. After that, there was an evening which was followed by a morning. He called that whole period of time ‘the first day’.
E Deus chamou á luz Dia; e ás trevas chamou Noite. E foi a tarde e a manhã, o dia primeiro.
6 Then God said, “I command that there be an empty space like a huge dome to separate the water that is above it from the water on the earth that is below it!”
E disse Deus: Haja uma expansão no meio das aguas, e haja separação entre aguas e aguas.
7 And that is what happened. God gave to the space the name ‘sky’.
E fez Deus a expansão, e fez separação entre as aguas que estavam debaixo da expansão e as aguas que estavam sobre a expansão: e assim foi.
8 Then there was another evening, which was followed by another morning. He called that period of time ‘the second day’.
E chamou Deus á expansão Céus, e foi a tarde e a manhã o dia segundo.
9 Then God said, “I want the water that is below the sky to come together, and dry ground to appear and rise above the water.” And that is what happened.
E disse Deus: Ajuntem-se as aguas debaixo dos céus n'um logar; e appareça a porção secca: e assim foi
10 God gave to the ground the name ‘earth’, and he gave to the water that came together the name ‘oceans’. God was pleased with the earth and the oceans.
E chamou Deus á porção secca Terra; e ao ajuntamento das aguas chamou Mares: e viu Deus que era bom.
11 Then God said, “I want the earth to produce plants, including plants that will produce seeds and trees that will produce fruit. Each kind of tree will bear its own kind of fruit.”
Disse Deus: Produza a terra herva verde, herva que dê semente, arvore fructifera que dê fructo segundo a sua especie, cuja semente está n'ella sobre a terra: e assim foi.
12 Then plants grew on the earth; each kind of plant began to produce its own kind of seed.
E a terra produziu herva, herva dando semente conforme a sua especie, e a arvore fructifera, cuja semente está n'ella conforme a sua especie: e viu Deus que era bom.
13 Then there was another evening which was followed by another morning. God called that period of time ‘the third day’.
E foi a tarde, e a manhã, o dia terceiro.
14 Then God said, “I want a sun, a moon, and many stars to shine in the sky. The sun will shine in the daytime and the moon and stars will shine during the nighttime. By the changes in their appearance they will indicate the various seasons (OR, the times for special celebrations), and will enable people to know when days and years begin.
E disse Deus: Haja luminares na expansão dos céus, para haver separação entre o dia e a noite; e sejam elles para signaes e para tempos determinados e para dias e annos.
15 I want them also to be like lights in the sky that will shine on the earth.” And that is what happened.
E sejam para luminares na expansão dos céus, para allumiar a terra: e assim foi.
16 God made two of them that were like big lights. The bigger one, the sun, shines during the day and the smaller one, the moon, shines during 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 estrellas.
17 God set all of them in the sky to shine on the earth,
E Deus os poz na expansão dos céus para allumiar a terra,
18 to rule the day and the night, and to separate the light of the daytime from the darkness of the nighttime. God was pleased with these things he had made.
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 Then there was another evening which was followed by another morning. He called that period of time ‘the fourth day’.
E foi a tarde, e a manhã, o dia quarto.
20 Then God said, “I want many creatures to live in all the oceans, and I also want birds to fly in the sky above the earth.”
E disse Deus: Produzam as aguas abundantemente reptis de alma vivente; e vôem as aves sobre a face da expansão dos céus.
21 So God created huge sea creatures and every other kind of creature that moves in the water, and caused them to live in all the oceans. He also created many kinds of birds. God was pleased with all those creatures.
E Deus creou as grandes balêas, e todo o reptil de alma vivente que as aguas abundantemente produziram conforme as suas especies; e toda a ave de azas conforme a sua especie: e viu Deus que era bom.
22 God blessed them. He said, “Produce offspring and become very numerous. I want the creatures in the water to live in all the oceans, and birds also to become very numerous.” And that is what happened.
E Deus as abençoou, dizendo: Fructificae e multiplicae-vos, e enchei as aguas nos mares; e as aves se multipliquem na terra.
23 Then there was another evening that was followed by another morning. He called that period of time ‘the fifth day’.
E foi a tarde, e a manhã, o dia quinto.
24 Then God said, “I want various kinds of creatures to appear on the earth. There will be many kinds of (livestock/domestic animals), creatures that scurry across the ground, and large wild animals.” And that is what happened.
E disse Deus: Produza a terra alma vivente conforme a sua especie; gado e reptis, e bestas feras da terra conforme a sua especie: e assim foi.
25 God made all kinds of wild animals and (livestock/domestic animals) and all kinds of creatures that scurry across the ground. God was pleased with all these creatures.
E fez Deus as bestas feras da terra conforme a sua especie, e o gado conforme a sua especie, e todo o reptil da terra conforme a sua especie: e viu Deus que era bom.
26 Then God said, “Now we will make human beings that will be like us in many ways. I want them to rule over the fish in the sea, over the birds, over all the (livestock/domestic animals), and over all the other creatures that scurry across the ground.”
E disse Deus: Façamos o homem á nossa imagem, conforme á nossa similhança: 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 reptil que se move sobre a terra.
27 So God created human beings that were like him in many ways. He made them to be like himself. He created some to be male and some to be female.
E creou Deus o homem á sua imagem: á imagem de Deus o creou: macho e femea os creou.
28 God blessed them, saying, “Produce many children, who will live all over the earth and rule over it. I want them to rule over the fish and the birds and over all creatures that scurry across the ground.”
E Deus os abençoou, e Deus lhes disse: Fructificae e multiplicae-vos, e enchei a terra, e sujeitae-a: e dominae 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 to the humans, “Listen! I have given you all the plants that produce seeds, all over the earth, and all the trees that have seeds in their fruit. All these things are for you to eat.
E disse Deus: Eis que vos tenho dado toda a herva que dá semente, que está sobre a face de toda a terra; e toda a arvore, em que ha fructo de arvore que dá semente, ser-vos-ha para mantimento.
30 I have given all the green plants to all the wild animals and to the birds and to all the creatures that scurry across the ground, to everything that breathes, for them to eat.” And that is what happened.
E todo o animal da terra, e toda a ave dos céus, e todo o reptil da terra, em que ha alma vivente; toda a herva verde será para mantimento: e assim foi.
31 God was pleased with everything that he had made. Truly, it was all very good. Then there was another evening, that was followed by another morning. He called that period of time ‘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.
