Gênesis 8

1 E lembrou-se Deus de Noé, e de toda a besta, e de todo o animal, e de toda a rêz que com ele estava na arca: e Deus fez passar um vento sobre a terra, e aquietaram-se as águas.

And God remembered Noe, and all the wild beasts, and all the cattle, and all the birds, and all the reptiles that creep, as many as were with him in the ark, and God brought a wind upon the earth, and the water stayed.

2 Cerraram-se também as fontes do abismo, e as janelas dos céus, e a chuva dos céus deteve-se.

And the fountains of the deep were closed up, and the flood-gates of heaven, and the rain from heaven was withheld.

3 E as águas tornaram de sobre a terra continuamente, e ao cabo de cento e cincoênta dias as águas minguaram.

And the water subsided, and went off the earth, and after an hundred and fifty days the water was diminished, and the ark rested in the seventh month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, on the mountains of Ararat.

4 E a arca repousou, no sétimo mes, no dia dezesete do mes, sobre os montes de Ararat.

And the water continued to decrease until the tenth month.

5 E foram as águas indo e minguando até ao décimo mes: no décimo mes, no primeiro dia do mes, apareceram os cumes dos montes.

And in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, the heads of the mountains were seen.

6 E aconteceu que, ao cabo de quarenta dias, abriu Noé a janela da arca que tinha feito.

And it came to pass after forty days Noe opened the window of the ark which he had made.

7 E soltou um corvo, que saiu, indo e voltando, até que as águas se secaram de sobre a terra.

And he sent forth a raven; and it went forth and returned not until the water was dried from off the earth.

8 Depois soltou uma pomba, a vêr-se as águas tinham minguado de sobre a face da terra.

And he sent a dove after it to see if the water had ceased from off the earth.

9 A pomba porém não achou repouso para a planta do seu pé, e voltou a ele para a arca; porque as águas estavam sobre a face de toda a terra: e ele estendeu a sua mão, e tomou-a, e meteu-a consigo na arca.

And the dove not having found rest for her feet, returned to him into the ark, because the water was on all the face of the earth, and he stretched out his hand and took her, and brought her to himself into the ark.

10 E esperou ainda outros sete dias, e tornou a enviar a pomba fora da arca.

And having waited yet seven other days, he again sent forth the dove from the ark.

11 E a pomba voltou a ele sobre a tarde; e eis, arrancada, uma folha de oliveira no seu bico: e conheceu Noé que as águas tinham minguado sobre a terra.

And the dove returned to him in the evening, and had a leaf of olive, a sprig in her mouth; and Noe knew that the water had ceased from off the earth.

12 Então esperou ainda outros sete dias; e enviou fora a pomba, mas não tornou mais a ele.

And having waited yet seven other days, he again sent forth the dove, and she did not return to him again any more.

13 E aconteceu que no ano seiscentos e um, no mês primeiro, no primeiro dia do mes, as águas se secaram de sobre a terra: então Noé tirou a cobertura da arca, e olhou, e eis que a face da terra estava enxuta.

And it came to pass in the six hundred and first year of the life of Noe, in the first month, on the first day of the month, the water subsided from off the earth, and Noe opened the covering of the ark which he had made, and he saw that the water had subsided from the face of the earth.

14 E no segundo mes, aos vinte e sete dias do mes, a terra estava seca.

And in the second month the earth was dried, on the twenty-seventh day of the month.

15 Então falou Deus a Noé, dizendo:

And the Lord God spoke to Noe, saying,

16 Sai da arca, tu, e tua mulher, e teus filhos, e as mulheres de teus filhos contigo.

Come out from the ark, you and your wife and your sons, and your sons' wives with you.

17 Todo o animal que está contigo, de toda a carne, de ave, e de gado, e de todo o réptil que se roja sobre a terra traze fora contigo; e povôem abundantemente a terra, e frutifiquem, e se multipliquem sobre a terra.

And all the wild beasts as many as are with you, and all flesh both of birds and beasts, and every reptile moving upon the earth, bring forth with you: and increase you and multiply upon the earth.

18 Então saiu Noé, e seus filhos, e sua mulher, e as mulheres de seus filhos com ele,

And Noe came forth, and his wife and his sons, and his sons' wives with him.

19 Todo o animal, todo o réptil, e toda a ave, e tudo o que se move sobre a terra, conforme as suas famílias, saiu para fora da arca.

And all the wild beasts and all the cattle and every bird, and every reptile creeping upon the earth after their kind, came forth out of the ark.

20 E edificou Noé um altar ao Senhor; e tomou de todo o animal limpo, e de toda a ave limpa, e ofereceu holocaustos sobre o altar.

And Noe built an altar to the Lord, and took of all clean beasts, and of all clean birds, and offered a whole burnt offering upon 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.

And the Lord God smelled a smell of sweetness, and the Lord God having considered, said, I will not any more curse the earth, because of the works of men, because the imagination of man is intently bent upon evil things from his youth, I will not therefore any more strike all living flesh as I have done.

22 Enquanto a terra durar, sementeira e sega, e frio e calor, e verão e inverno, e dia e noite, não cessarão.

All the days of the earth, seed and harvest, cold and heat, summer and spring, shall not cease by day or night.
