+ Gênesis 1 >

1 No início, Deus criou os céus e a terra.
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
2 A terra estava sem forma e vazia. A escuridão estava na superfície das profundezas e o Espírito de Deus pairava sobre a superfície das águas.
And the earth was waste and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep: and the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
3 Deus disse: “Que haja luz”, e houve luz.
And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, one day.
6 Deus disse: “Que haja uma extensão no meio das águas, e que ela divida as águas das águas”.
And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
7 Deus fez a extensão, e dividiu as águas que estavam sob a extensão das águas que estavam acima da extensão; e assim foi.

And God called the firmament Heaven. And there was evening and there was morning, a second day.
9 Deus disse: “Que as águas sob o céu sejam reunidas num só lugar, e que a terra seca apareça;” e assim foi.
And God said, Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.
10 Deus chamou a terra seca de “terra”, e a reunião das águas ele chamou de “mares”. Deus viu que era bom.
And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.
11 Deus disse: “Que a terra produza grama, ervas que produzam sementes, e árvores frutíferas que dêem frutos depois de sua espécie, com suas sementes dentro dela, na terra;” e assim foi.
And God said, Let the earth put forth grass, herbs yielding seed, [and] fruit-trees bearing fruit after their kind, wherein is the seed thereof, upon the earth: and it was so.

14 Deus disse: “Que haja luzes na extensão do céu para dividir o dia da noite; e que sejam para que os sinais marquem as estações, os dias e os anos;
And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years:
15 e que sejam para que as luzes na extensão do céu dêem luz sobre a terra;” e assim foi.
and let them be for lights in the firmament of heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.
16 Deus fez as duas grandes luzes: a luz maior para governar o dia, e a luz menor para governar a noite. Ele também fez as estrelas.
And God made the two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: [he made] the stars also.
17 Deus as colocou na vastidão do céu para dar luz à terra,
And God set them in the firmament of heaven to give light upon the earth,
18 e para governar o dia e a noite, e para dividir a luz da escuridão. Deus viu que era bom.
and to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.
19 Havia a noite e havia a manhã, um quarto dia.
And there was evening and there was morning, a fourth day.
20 Deus disse: “Deixem as águas transbordar de seres vivos, e deixem as aves voar sobre a terra na extensão aberta do céu”.
And God said, Let the waters swarm with swarms of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.
21 Deus criou as grandes criaturas marinhas e todos os seres vivos que se movem, com os quais as águas transbordaram, depois de sua espécie, e cada ave alada depois de sua espécie. Deus viu que era bom.
And God created the great sea-monsters, and every living creature that moveth, wherewith the waters swarmed, after their kind, and every winged bird after its kind: and God saw that it was good.
22 Deus os abençoou, dizendo: “Sede fecundos e multiplicai-vos, e enchei as águas dos mares, e deixai as aves multiplicarem-se na terra”.
And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth.
23 Havia a noite e havia a manhã, um quinto dia.

And God made the beasts of the earth after their kind, and the cattle after their kind, and everything that creepeth upon the ground after its kind: and God saw that it was good.
26 Deus disse: “Vamos fazer o homem à nossa imagem, à nossa semelhança”. Que tenham domínio sobre os peixes do mar, e sobre as aves do céu, e sobre o gado, e sobre toda a terra, e sobre cada coisa rasteira que se arrepia sobre a terra”.
And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the heavens, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
27 Deus criou o homem à sua própria imagem. À imagem de Deus ele o criou; macho e fêmea ele os criou”.
And God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
28 Deus os abençoou. Deus lhes disse: “Sede fecundos, multiplicai-vos, enchei a terra e sujeitai-a”. Tenham domínio sobre os peixes do mar, sobre as aves do céu e sobre todo ser vivo que se move sobre a terra”.
And God blessed them: and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the heavens, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
29 Deus disse: “Eis que vos dei toda erva que dá semente, que está na superfície de toda a terra, e toda árvore que dá fruto que dá semente”. Será seu alimento”.
And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb yielding seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for food:
30 A cada animal da terra, e a cada ave do céu, e a tudo que rasteja na terra, na qual há vida, eu dei toda erva verde para alimento”; e assim foi.
and to every beast of the earth, and to every bird of the heavens, and to everything that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, [I have given] every green herb for food: and it was so.

And God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.
