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.
The earth was formless and empty. Darkness was on the surface of the deep and God’s Spirit was hovering over the surface of the waters.
3 Deus disse: “Que haja luz”, e houve luz.
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.

5 Deus chamou a luz de “dia”, e a escuridão de “noite”. Havia a noite e havia a manhã, o primeiro dia.
God called the light “day”, and the darkness he called “night”. There was evening and there was morning, the first day.
6 Deus disse: “Que haja uma extensão no meio das águas, e que ela divida as águas das águas”.
God said, “Let there be an expanse in the middle 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.

God called the expanse “sky”. 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.
God said, “Let the waters under the sky be gathered together to 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.
God called the dry land “earth”, and the gathering together of the waters he called “seas”. 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.
God said, “Let the earth yield grass, herbs yielding seeds, and fruit trees bearing fruit after their kind, with their seeds in it, on 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.

God said, “Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs to mark seasons, 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 expanse of the sky to give light on 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.

17 Deus as colocou na vastidão do céu para dar luz à terra,
God set them in the expanse of the sky to give light to the earth,
18 e para governar o dia e a noite, e para dividir a luz da escuridão. Deus viu que era bom.

God said, “Let the waters abound with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth in the open expanse of the sky.”

God created the large sea creatures and every living creature that moves, with which the waters swarmed, after their kind, and every winged bird after its kind. God saw that it was good.

God said, “Let’s make man in our image, after our likeness. Let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the sky, and over the livestock, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”

God blessed them. God said to them, “Be fruitful, multiply, fill the earth, and subdue it. Have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the sky, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”

God said, “Behold, I have given you every herb yielding seed, which is on the surface of all the earth, and every tree, which bears fruit yielding seed. It will be your food.

To every animal of the earth, and to every bird of the sky, and to everything that creeps on the earth, in which there is life, I have given every green herb for food;” and it was so.
