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.
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 também as fontes do abismo, e as janelas 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 águas tornaram de sobre a terra continuamente, e ao cabo de cento e cincoênta dias as águas 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 sétimo mes, no dia dezesete do mes, 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 águas indo e minguando até ao décimo mes: no décimo mes, no primeiro dia do mes, apareceram 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 janela 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 águas se secaram 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 vêr-se as águas 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 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 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 fora da arca.
He waited yet another seven days; and again he sent the dove out of the ship.
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.
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 fora a pomba, mas não tornou mais a ele.
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 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.
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 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 dry.
15 Então falou Deus a Noé, dizendo:
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 ship, you, your wife, 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.
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 ele,
Noah went out, with his sons, his wife, 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.
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 ofereceu holocaustos sobre o altar.
Noah built an altar to Yahweh, 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.
Yahweh smelled the pleasant aroma. Yahweh 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 Enquanto 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.”
