Genesis 2
1 That is the way God created the heavens and the earth.
Assim os céus, e a terra e todo o seu exercito foram acabados.
2 By the time it was the seventh day, God had finished the work of creating everything, so he did not work any more on that day.
E havendo Deus acabado no dia setimo a sua obra, que tinha feito, descançou no setimo dia de toda a sua obra, que tinha feito.
3 God blessed each seventh day, and he set those days apart to be special days, because on the seventh day God did not work any more, after finishing all his work of creating everything.
E abençoou Deus o dia setimo, e o sanctificou; porque n'elle descançou de toda a sua obra, que Deus creára e fizera.
4 That is how God created the heavens and the earth. God, whose name is Yahweh, made the heavens and the earth.
Estas são as origens dos céus e da terra, quando foram creados: no dia em que o Senhor Deus fez a terra e os céus:
5 At first there were no plants growing, because Yahweh God had not yet caused rain to fall on the ground. Furthermore, there was no one to till the ground for planting crops.
E toda a planta do campo que ainda não estava na terra, e toda a herva do campo que ainda não brotava; porque ainda o Senhor Deus não tinha feito chover sobre a terra, e não havia homem para lavrar a terra.
6 Instead, mist rose up from the ground, so that it watered the surface of the ground.
Um vapor, porém, subia da terra, e regava toda a face da terra.
7 Then Yahweh God took some soil and formed a man. He breathed into the man’s nostrils his own breath that gives life, and as a result the man became a living person.
E formou o Senhor Deus o homem do pó da terra, e soprou em seus narizes o folego da vida: e o homem foi feito alma vivente.
8 Yahweh God made a park/garden in a place named Eden, which was east of the land of Canaan, and he put there the man that he had created.
E plantou o Senhor Deus um jardim no Eden, da banda do oriente: e poz ali o homem que tinha formado.
9 Yahweh God also put there every kind of tree that is beautiful to see and that produced fruit that was good to eat. He also placed in the middle of the park/garden a tree [whose fruit would enable those who ate it] to live forever. He also placed there another tree whose fruit would enable those who ate it to know what actions were good [to do] and what actions were evil [to do].
E o Senhor Deus fez brotar da terra toda a arvore agradavel á vista, e boa para comida: e a arvore da vida no meio do jardim, e a arvore da sciencia do bem e do mal.
10 A river flowed from Eden to provide water for the park/garden. Outside of Eden, the river divided into four rivers.
E sahia um rio do Eden para regar o jardim; e d'ali se dividia e se tornava em quatro cabeças.
11 The name of the first river is Pishon. That river flows through all the land of Havilah, where there is gold.
O nome do primeiro é Pison: este é o que rodeia toda a terra de Havila, onde ha oiro.
12 That gold (is very pure/has no impurities in it). There is [also a sweet-smelling gum called] bdellium, and valuable stones called onyx.
E o oiro d'essa terra é bom: ali ha o bdellio, e a pedra sardonica.
13 The name of the second river is Gihon. That river flows through all the land of Cain.
E o nome do segundo rio é Gihon: este é o que rodeia toda a terra de Cush.
14 The name of the third river is Tigris. It flows east of [the city of] Asshur. The name of the fourth river is Euphrates.
E o nome do terceiro rio é Hiddekel: este é o que vae para a banda do oriente da Assyria: e o quarto rio é o Euphrates.
15 Yahweh God took the man and put him in Eden park/garden to till/cultivate it and take care of it.
E tomou o Senhor Deus o homem, e o poz no jardim do Eden para o lavrar e o guardar.
16 But Yahweh said to him, “You must not eat the fruit of the tree that will enable you to know what actions are good to do and what actions are evil to do. If you eat any fruit from that tree, on that day your relationship with me will end. But I will permit you to eat the fruit of any of the other trees in the park/garden.”
E ordenou o Senhor Deus ao homem, dizendo: De toda a arvore do jardim comerás livremente,
Mas da arvore da sciencia do bem e do mal, d'ella não comerás; porque no dia em que d'ella comeres, certamente morrerás.
18 Then Yahweh God said, “It is not good for this man to be alone. So I will make someone who will be a suitable partner for him.”
E disse o Senhor Deus: Não é bom que o homem esteja só: far-lhe-hei uma ajudadora que esteja como diante d'elle.
19 Yahweh God had taken some soil and had formed from it all kinds of animals and birds, and he brought them to the man to hear what names he would give them.
Havendo pois o Senhor Deus formado da terra todo o animal do campo, e toda a ave dos céus os trouxe a Adão, para este vêr como lhes chamaria; e tudo o que Adão chamou a toda a alma vivente, isso foi o seu nome.
20 Then the man gave names to all the kinds of livestock and birds and wild animals, but none of these creatures was a partner that was suitable for the man.
E Adão poz os nomes a todo o gado, e ás aves dos céus, e a toda a besta do campo; mas para o homem não se achava ajudadora que estivesse como diante d'elle.
21 So Yahweh God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep. While the man was sleeping, Yahweh took out one of the man’s ribs. Then he immediately closed the opening in his body [and healed it].
Então o Senhor Deus fez cair um somno pesado sobre Adão, e este adormeceu: e tomou uma das suas costellas, e cerrou a carne em seu logar;
22 Yahweh then made a woman from the rib that he had taken from the man’s body, and he brought her to the man.
E da costella que o Senhor Deus tomou do homem, formou uma mulher: e trouxe-a a Adão.
23 The man exclaimed, “[Wow]! This is truly (someone like me/what I was looking for!) She is truly from my bones and from my flesh. So I will call her woman, because she was taken from me, a man.”
E disse Adão: Esta é agora osso dos meus ossos, e carne da minha carne: esta será chamada varôa, porquanto do varão foi tomada.
24 [The first woman was taken from the man’s body, ] so that is why when a man and a woman marry, they must leave their parents. The man will join very closely to his wife, so that the two of them will be as though they are one person.
Portanto deixará o varão o seu pae e a sua mãe, e apegar-se-ha á sua mulher, e serão ambos uma carne.
25 Although the man and his wife were naked, they were not ashamed about that.
E ambos estavam nús, o homem e a sua mulher; e não se envergonhavam.
