Gênesis 2
1 E foram concluídos os céus e a terra, e tudo o que neles há.
That is the way God created the heavens and the earth.
2 E acabou Deus no dia sétimo sua obra que fez, e repousou o dia sétimo de toda sua obra que havia feito.
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.
3 E abençoou Deus ao dia sétimo, e o santificou, porque nele repousou de toda sua obra que havia Deus criado e feito.
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.
4 Estas são as origens dos céus e da terra quando foram criados, no dia que o SENHOR Deus fez a terra e os céus,
That is how God created the heavens and the earth. God, whose name is Yahweh, made the heavens and the earth.
5 E antes que toda planta do campo existisse na terra, e antes que toda erva do campo nascesse; porque ainda não havia o SENHOR Deus feito chover sobre a terra, nem havia homem para que lavrasse a terra;
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.
6 Mas subia da terra um vapor, que regava toda a face da terra.
Instead, mist rose up from the ground, so that it watered the surface of the ground.
7 Formou, pois, o SENHOR Deus ao homem do pó da terra, e assoprou em seu nariz sopro de vida; e foi o homem em alma vivente.
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.
8 E havia o SENHOR Deus plantado um jardim em Éden ao oriente, e pôs ali ao homem que havia formado.
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.
9 E havia o SENHOR Deus feito nascer da terra toda árvore agradável à vista, e boa para comer: também a árvore da vida em meio do jardim, e a árvore do conhecimento do bem e do mal.
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].
10 E saía de Éden um rio para regar o jardim, e dali se repartia em quatro ramificações.
A river flowed from Eden to provide water for the park/garden. Outside of Eden, the river divided into four rivers.
11 O nome de um era Pisom: este é o que cerca toda a terra de Havilá, onde há ouro:
The name of the first river is Pishon. That river flows through all the land of Havilah, where there is gold.
12 E o ouro daquela terra é bom; há ali também bdélio e pedra ônix.
That gold (is very pure/has no impurities in it). There is [also a sweet-smelling gum called] bdellium, and valuable stones called onyx.
13 O nome do segundo rio é Giom; este é o que rodeia toda a terra de Cuxe.
The name of the second river is Gihon. That river flows through all the land of Cain.
14 E o nome do terceiro rio é Tigre; este é o que vai diante da Assíria. E o quarto rio é o Eufrates.
The name of the third river is Tigris. It flows east of [the city of] Asshur. The name of the fourth river is Euphrates.
15 Então o SENHOR Deus tomou o homem, e o pôs no jardim de Éden, para que o lavrasse e o guardasse.
Yahweh God took the man and put him in Eden park/garden to till/cultivate it and take care of it.
16 E mandou o SENHOR Deus ao homem, dizendo: De toda árvore do jardim comerás;
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.”
17 Mas da árvore do conhecimento do bem e do mal não comerás dela; porque no dia que dela comeres, morrerás.
18 E disse o SENHOR Deus: Não é bom que o homem esteja só; farei para ele ajuda idônea para ele.
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.”
19 Formou, pois, o SENHOR Deus da terra todo animal do campo, e toda ave dos céus, e trouxe-os a Adão, para que visse como lhes havia de chamar; e tudo o que Adão chamou aos animais viventes, esse é seu nome.
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.
20 E pôs Adão nomes a todo animal e ave dos céus e a todo animal do campo: mas para Adão não achou ajuda que estivesse idônea para ele.
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.
21 E o SENHOR Deus fez cair sonho sobre Adão, e ele adormeceu: então tomou uma de suas costelas, e fechou a carne em seu lugar;
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].
22 E da costela que o SENHOR Deus tomou do homem, fez uma mulher, e trouxe-a ao homem.
Yahweh then made a woman from the rib that he had taken from the man’s body, and he brought her to the man.
23 E disse Adão: Esta é agora osso de meus ossos, e carne de minha carne: esta será chamada Mulher, porque do homem foi tomada.
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.”
24 Portanto, deixará o homem a seu pai e a sua mãe, e se achegará à sua mulher, e serão uma só carne.
[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.
25 E estavam ambos nus, Adão e sua mulher, e não se envergonhavam.
Although the man and his wife were naked, they were not ashamed about that.
