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.
But God (did not forget/thought) about Noah and all the wild animals and all the kinds of livestock that were with him in the boat. So one day God sent a wind to blow across the earth, and the wind caused the water [to begin] to recede.
2 E se fecharam as fontes do abismo, e as comportas dos céus; e a chuva dos céus foi detida.
God caused the water that was under the earth to stop bursting forth, and he caused the floodgates of water from the sky to close so that it stopped raining.
3 E voltaram-se as águas de sobre a terra, indo e voltando; e decresceram as águas ao fim de cento e cinquenta dias.
The water on the earth gradually receded. 150 days after the flood began,
4 E repousou a arca no mês sétimo, a dezessete dias do mês, sobre os montes de Ararate.
(on the 17th day of the seventh month [of that year/late in March]), the boat came to rest on one of the mountains in the Ararat region.
5 E as águas foram decrescendo até o mês décimo: no décimo, ao primeiro dia do mês, se revelaram os cumes dos montes.
The water continued to recede until, on the first day of the tenth month [of that year], the tops of other mountains became visible.
6 E sucedeu que, ao fim de quarenta dias, abriu Noé a janela da arca que havia feito,
40 days later, Noah opened the window that he had made in the side of the boat, and sent out a raven.
7 E enviou ao corvo, o qual saiu, e esteve indo e voltando até que as águas se secaram de sobre a terra.
The raven flew back and forth [to and from the boat] until the water was completely gone.
8 Enviou também de si à pomba, para ver se as águas se haviam retirado de sobre a face da terra;
Then Noah sent out a dove to find out if the water had all receded on 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 did not find any place to perch, so it flew back to Noah in the boat, because there was still water all over the surface of the earth. So Noah reached out his hand and took the dove back inside the boat.
10 E esperou ainda outros sete dias, e voltou a enviar a pomba fora da arca.
Noah waited seven more days. Then he sent the dove out of the boat again.
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.
This time the dove returned to him in the evening and, [surprisingly], in its beak there was a leaf from an olive tree that the dove had just plucked. Then Noah knew that the water had truly receded from the surface of the ground.
12 E esperou ainda outros sete dias, e enviou a pomba, a qual não voltou já mais a ele.
Noah waited seven more days. Then he sent the dove out again, but this time it did not return to him.
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.
Noah was now 601 years old. By the first day of the first month [of the Jewish year], the water had completely drained away from the ground. Noah removed the covering on top of the ark, and he was surprised to see that the surface of the ground was drying.
14 E no mês segundo, aos vinte e sete dias do mês, se secou a terra.
By the 27th day of the next month, the ground was completely dry.
15 E falou Deus a Noé dizendo:
Then God said to Noah,
16 Sai da arca tu, a tua mulher, os teus filhos, e as mulheres dos teus filhos contigo.
“Leave the boat, along with your wife and your sons and their wives.
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.
Bring out with you all the birds, the animals, and all the creatures that scurry across the ground, in order that they can spread all over the earth and become very numerous.”
18 Então saiu Noé, e seus filhos, e sua mulher, e as mulheres de seus filhos com ele.
So Noah left the boat, along with his wife and his sons and their wives.
19 Todos os animais, e todo réptil e toda ave, tudo o que se move sobre a terra segundo suas espécies, saíram da arca.
And every kind of creature, including all those that scurry across the ground, all the birds, every creature that moves on the earth, left the boat. They left the boat in groups of their own species.
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.
Then Noah built a (stone altar/place for offering sacrifices) to Yahweh. Then he took some of the animals that Yahweh had said were acceptable as sacrifices and killed them. Then he burned them whole 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.
When Yahweh smelled the pleasant odor, he was pleased with the sacrifice. Then he said to himself, “I will never again devastate everything on the earth because of the sinful things people do. Even though everything that people think is evil from the time they are young, I will not destroy all the living creatures again, as I did this time.
22 Enquanto a terra durar, a sementeira e a colheita, o frio e calor, verão e inverno, dia e noite, não cessarão.
As long as the earth exists, each year there will be seasons for planting seeds and seasons for harvesting crops. Each year there will be times when it is cold and times when it is hot, summer and winter (OR, rainy season and dry season). Each day there will be daytime and nighttime.”
