Gênesis 1
1 No início, Deus criou os céus e a terra.
IN THE beginning God created the heaven 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.
Now the earth was unformed and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep; and the spirit of God hovered over 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.
4 Deus viu a luz, e viu que ela era boa. Deus dividiu a luz das trevas.
And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness.
5 Deus chamou a luz de “dia”, e a escuridão de “noite”. Havia a noite e havia a manhã, o primeiro dia.
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 made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament; and it was so.
8 Deus chamou a vastidão de “céu”. Havia a noite e havia a manhã, um segundo dia.
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 heaven 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, herb yielding seed, and fruit-tree bearing fruit after its kind, wherein is the seed thereof, upon the earth.' And it was so.
12 A terra produziu grama, ervas produzindo sementes depois de sua espécie, e árvores dando frutos, com suas sementes dentro dela, depois de sua espécie; e Deus viu que era boa.
And the earth brought forth grass, herb yielding seed after its kind, and tree bearing fruit, wherein is the seed thereof, after its kind; and God saw that it was good.
13 Havia a noite e havia a manhã, um terceiro dia.
And there was evening and there was morning, a third day.
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 the 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 the 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; and the stars.
17 Deus as colocou na vastidão do céu para dar luz à terra,
And God set them in the firmament of the 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 fowl 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 creepeth, wherewith the waters swarmed, after its kind, and every winged fowl 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 fowl multiply in the earth.'
23 Havia a noite e havia a manhã, um quinto dia.
And there was evening and there was morning, a fifth day.
24 Deus disse: “Que a terra produza seres vivos segundo sua espécie, gado, coisas rastejantes e animais da terra segundo sua espécie”; e assim foi.
And God said: 'Let the earth bring forth the living creature after its kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after its kind.' And it was so.
25 Deus fez os animais da terra depois de sua espécie, e o gado depois de sua espécie, e tudo o que rasteja no solo depois de sua espécie. Deus viu que era bom.
And God made the beast of the earth after its kind, and the cattle after their kind, and every thing 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 fowl of the air, 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 fowl of the air, and over every living thing that creepeth 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 fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is a living soul, I have given every green herb for food.' And it was so.
31 Deus viu tudo o que tinha feito e, eis que era muito bom. Havia a noite e havia a manhã, um sexto dia.
And God saw every thing that He had made, and, behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.
