Gênesis 8

1 E lembrou-se Deus de Noé, e de todos os animais, selvagens e domésticos que estavam com ele na arca; e fez passar Deus um vento sobre a terra, e diminuíram as águas.

And God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle that were with him in the ark: and God caused a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters were assuaged;

2 E se fecharam as fontes do abismo, e as comportas dos céus; e a chuva dos céus foi detida.

The fountains also of the deep, and the windows of heaven were stopped; and the rain from heaven was restrained.

3 E voltaram-se as águas de sobre a terra, indo e voltando; e decresceram as águas ao fim de cento e cinquenta dias.

And the waters returned from off the earth, gradually returning; and the waters were abated after the end of the hundred and fifty days.

4 E repousou a arca no mês sétimo, a dezessete dias do mês, sobre os montes de Ararate.

And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat.

5 E as águas foram decrescendo até o mês décimo: no décimo, ao primeiro dia do mês, se revelaram os cumes dos montes.

And the waters decreased continually until the tenth month; in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, were the tops of the mountains seen;

6 E sucedeu que, ao fim de quarenta dias, abriu Noé a janela da arca que havia feito,

And it came to pass at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made;

7 E enviou ao corvo, o qual saiu, e esteve indo e voltando até que as águas se secaram de sobre a terra.

And he sent forth a raven which went forth to and fro, until the waters were dried up from off the earth.

8 Enviou também de si à pomba, para ver se as águas se haviam retirado de sobre a face da terra;

He then sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground.

9 E não achou a pomba onde sentar a planta de seu pé, e voltou-se a ele à arca, porque as águas estavam ainda sobre a face de toda a terra: então ele estendeu sua mão e recolhendo-a, a fez entrar consigo na arca.

But the dove found no resting-place for the sole of her foot, and she returned unto him unto the ark; for there was water on the face of the whole earth; then he put forth his hand, and took her, and brought her into the ark.

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

And he stayed yet another seven days, and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark.

11 E a pomba voltou a ele à hora da tarde; e eis que trazia uma folha de oliveira tomada em seu bico; então Noé entendeu que as águas haviam se retirado de sobre a terra.

And the dove came in to him at the time of the evening; and, lo, an olive-leaf plucked off was in her mouth; so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth.

12 E esperou ainda outros sete dias, e enviou a pomba, a qual não voltou já mais a ele.

And he stayed yet other seven days, and sent forth the dove; but she returned not again unto him any more.

13 E sucedeu que no ano seiscentos e um de Noé, no mês primeiro, ao primeiro do mês, as águas se enxugaram de sobre a terra e tirou Noé a cobertura da arca, e olhou, e eis que a face da terra estava enxuta.

And it came to pass in the six hundredth and first year, in the first month, on the first day of the month, that the waters were dried up from off the earth; and Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and, behold, the face of the ground was dry.

14 E no mês segundo, aos vinte e sete dias do mês, se secou a terra.

And in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, was the earth perfectly dried up.

15 E falou Deus a Noé dizendo:

And God spoke unto Noah, saying,

16 Sai da arca tu, a tua mulher, os teus filhos, e as mulheres dos teus filhos contigo.

Go forth from the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons' wives with thee.

17 Todos os animais que estão contigo de toda carne, de aves e de animais e de todo réptil que anda arrastando sobre a terra, tirarás contigo; e vão pela terra, e frutifiquem, e multipliquem-se sobre a terra.

Every living thing that is with thee, of all flesh, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, bring forth with thee; that they may breed abundantly on the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply upon the earth.

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

And Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him.

19 Todos os animais, e todo réptil e toda ave, tudo o que se move sobre a terra segundo suas espécies, saíram da arca.

Every beast, every creeping thing, and every fowl, whatsoever creepeth upon the earth, after their families, went forth out of the ark.

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

And Noah built an altar unto the Lord, and he took of every clean cattle, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt-offerings on the altar.

21 E percebeu o SENHOR cheiro suave; e o SENHOR disse em seu coração: Não voltarei mais a amaldiçoar a terra por causa do ser humano; porque o intento do coração do ser humano é mau desde sua juventude: nem voltarei mais a destruir todo vivente, como fiz.

And the Lord smelled the sweet savour; and the Lord said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for the sake of man; although the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth: neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done.

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

All the while the earth remaineth, seed-time and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night, shall not cease.
