< Gênesis 8 >

1 E lembrou-se Deus de Noé, e de toda a besta, e de todo o animal, e de toda a rez que com elle estava na arca: e Deus fez passar um vento sobre a terra, e aquietaram-se as aguas.
God remembered Noah, all the animals, and all the livestock that were with him in the ship; and God made a wind to pass over the earth. The waters subsided.
2 Cerraram-se tambem as fontes do abysmo, e as janellas dos céus, e a chuva dos céus deteve-se.
The deep’s fountains and the sky’s windows were also stopped, and the rain from the sky was restrained.
3 E as aguas tornaram de sobre a terra continuamente, e ao cabo de cento e cincoenta dias as aguas minguaram.
The waters continually receded from the earth. After the end of one hundred fifty days the waters receded.
4 E a arca repousou, no setimo mez, no dia dezesete do mez, sobre os montes de Ararat.
The ship rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on Ararat’s mountains.
5 E foram as aguas indo e minguando até ao decimo mez: no decimo mez, no primeiro dia do mez, appareceram os cumes dos montes.
The waters receded continually until the tenth month. In the tenth month, on the first day of the month, the tops of the mountains were visible.
6 E aconteceu que, ao cabo de quarenta dias, abriu Noé a janella da arca que tinha feito.
At the end of forty days, Noah opened the window of the ship which he had made,
7 E soltou um corvo, que saiu, indo e voltando, até que as aguas se seccaram de sobre a terra.
and he sent out a raven. It went back and forth, until the waters were dried up from the earth.
8 Depois soltou uma pomba, a vêrse as aguas tinham minguado de sobre a face da terra.
He himself sent out a dove to see if the waters were abated from the surface of the ground,
9 A pomba porém não achou repouso para a planta do seu pé, e voltou a elle para a arca; porque as aguas estavam sobre a face de toda a terra: e elle estendeu a sua mão, e tomou-a, e metteu-a comsigo na arca.
but the dove found no place to rest her foot, and she returned into the ship to him, for the waters were on the surface of the whole earth. He put out his hand, and took her, and brought her to him into the ship.
10 E esperou ainda outros sete dias, e tornou a enviar a pomba fóra da arca.
He waited yet another seven days; and again he sent the dove out of the ship.
11 E a pomba voltou a elle sobre a tarde; e eis, arrancada, uma folha de oliveira no seu bico: e conheceu Noé que as aguas tinham minguado sobre a terra.
The dove came back to him at evening and, behold, in her mouth was a freshly plucked olive leaf. So Noah knew that the waters were abated from the earth.
12 Então esperou ainda outros sete dias; e enviou fóra a pomba, mas não tornou mais a elle.
He waited yet another seven days, and sent out the dove; and she didn’t return to him any more.
13 E aconteceu que no anno seiscentos e um, no mez primeiro, no primeiro dia do mez, as aguas se seccaram de sobre a terra: então Noé tirou a cobertura da arca, e olhou, e eis que a face da terra estava enxuta.
In the six hundred first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried up from the earth. Noah removed the covering of the ship, and looked. He saw that the surface of the ground was dry.
14 E no segundo mez, aos vinte e sete dias do mez, a terra estava secca.
In the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was dry.
15 Então fallou Deus a Noé, dizendo:
God spoke to Noah, saying,
16 Sae da arca, tu, e tua mulher, e teus filhos, e as mulheres de teus filhos comtigo.
“Go out of the ship, you, your wife, your sons, and your sons’ wives with you.
17 Todo o animal que está comtigo, de toda a carne, de ave, e de gado, e de todo o reptil que se roja sobre a terra traze fóra comtigo; e povôem abundantemente a terra, e fructifiquem, e se multipliquem sobre a terra.
Bring out with you every living thing that is with you of all flesh, including birds, livestock, and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, that they may breed abundantly in the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply on the earth.”
18 Então saiu Noé, e seus filhos, e sua mulher, e as mulheres de seus filhos com elle,
Noah went out, with his sons, his wife, and his sons’ wives with him.
19 Todo o animal, todo o reptil, e toda a ave, e tudo o que se move sobre a terra, conforme as suas familias, saiu para fóra da arca.
Every animal, every creeping thing, and every bird, whatever moves on the earth, after their families, went out of the ship.
20 E edificou Noé um altar ao Senhor; e tomou de todo o animal limpo, e de toda a ave limpa, e offereceu holocaustos sobre o altar.
Noah built an altar to the LORD, and took of every clean animal, and of every clean bird, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.
21 E o Senhor cheirou o suave cheiro, e disse o Senhor em seu coração: Não tornarei mais a amaldiçoar a terra por causa do homem; porque a imaginação do coração do homem é má desde a sua meninice, nem tornarei mais a ferir todo o vivente, como fiz.
The LORD smelled the pleasant aroma. The LORD said in his heart, “I will not again curse the ground any more for man’s sake because the imagination of man’s heart is evil from his youth. I will never again strike every living thing, as I have done.
22 Emquanto a terra durar, sementeira e sega, e frio e calor, e verão e inverno, e dia e noite, não cessarão.
While the earth remains, seed time and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night will not cease.”
