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.

Then God remembered Noah, and all living things, and all the cattle, which were with him in the ark, and he brought a wind across the earth, and the waters were diminished.

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 abyss and the floodgates of heaven were closed. And the rain from heaven was restrained.

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

And the waters were restored to their coming and going from the earth. And they began to diminish after one hundred and fifty days.

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

And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, upon the mountains of Armenia.

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.

Yet in truth, the waters were departing and decreasing until the tenth month. For in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, the tips of the mountains appeared.

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

And when forty days had passed, Noah, opening the window that he had made in the ark, sent forth a raven,

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

which went forth and did not return, until the waters were dried up across the earth.

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

Likewise, he sent forth a dove after him, in order to see if the waters had now ceased upon the face of 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.

But when she did not find a place where her foot might rest, she returned to him in the ark. For the waters were upon the whole earth. And he extended his hand and caught her, and he brought her into the ark.

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

And then, having waited a further seven days, he again sent forth the dove out of 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 she came to him in the evening, carrying in her mouth an olive branch with green leaves. Noah then understood that the waters had ceased upon the earth.

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

And nevertheless, he waited another seven days. And he sent forth the dove, which no longer returned to him.

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.

Therefore, in the six hundred and first year, in the first month, on the first day of the month, the waters were diminished upon the earth. And Noah, opening the cover of the ark, gazed out and saw that the surface of the earth had become dry.

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

In the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was made dry.

15 Então falou Deus a Noé, dizendo:

Then God spoke to Noah, saying:

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

“Go out of the ark, you and your wife, your sons and the wives of your sons 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.

Bring out with you all the living things that are with you, all that is flesh: as with the birds, so also with the wild beasts and all the animals that move upon the earth. And enter upon the land: increase and multiply upon it.”

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

And so Noah and his sons went out, and his wife and the wives of his sons 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.

Then also all living things, and the cattle, and the animals that move upon the earth, according to their kinds, departed from 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.

Then Noah built an altar to the Lord. And, taking from each of the cattle and birds that were clean, he offered holocausts 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 smelled the sweet odor and said: “I will no longer curse the earth because of man. For the feelings and thoughts of the heart of man are prone to evil from his youth. Therefore, I will no longer pierce every living soul 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, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, night and day, will not cease.”
