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 Noe, and all the wild beasts, and all the cattle, and all the birds, and all the reptiles that creep, as many as were with him in the ark, and God brought a wind upon the earth, and the water stayed.

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

And the fountains of the deep were closed up, and the flood-gates of heaven, and the rain from heaven was withheld.

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 water subsided, and went off the earth, and after an hundred and fifty days the water was diminished, and the ark rested in the seventh month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, on the mountains of Ararat.

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

And the water continued to decrease until the tenth month.

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

And in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, the heads of the mountains were seen.

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

And it came to pass after forty days Noe 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; and it went forth and returned not until the water was dried 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;

And he sent a dove after it to see if the water had ceased from off the earth.

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.

And the dove not having found rest for her feet, returned to him into the ark, because the water was on all the face of the earth, and he stretched out his hand and took her, and brought her to himself into the ark.

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

And having waited yet seven other days, he again sent forth the dove from 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 returned to him in the evening, and had a leaf of olive, a sprig in her mouth; and Noe knew that the water had ceased from off the earth.

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

And having waited yet seven other days, he again sent forth the dove, and she did not return to him again 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 hundred and first year of the life of Noe, in the first month, on the first day of the month, the water subsided from off the earth, and Noe opened the covering of the ark which he had made, and he saw that the water had subsided from the face of the earth.

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

And in the second month the earth was dried, on the twenty-seventh day of the month.

15 E falou Deus a Noé dizendo:

And the Lord God spoke to Noe, saying,

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

Come out from the ark, you and your wife and your sons, and your sons' wives with you.

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.

And all the wild beasts as many as are with you, and all flesh both of birds and beasts, and every reptile moving upon the earth, bring forth with you: and increase you and multiply upon the earth.

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

And Noe came forth, and his wife and his sons, 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.

And all the wild beasts and all the cattle and every bird, and every reptile creeping upon the earth after their kind, came 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 Noe built an altar to the Lord, and took of all clean beasts, and of all clean birds, and offered a whole burnt offering upon 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 God smelled a smell of sweetness, and the Lord God having considered, said, I will not any more curse the earth, because of the works of men, because the imagination of man is intently bent upon evil things from his youth, I will not therefore any more strike all living flesh 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 days of the earth, seed and harvest, cold and heat, summer and spring, shall not cease by day or night.
