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.
Now the earth was formless and empty, and darkness was on the surface of the watery depths. And God's Spirit was hovering over the surface 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 that the light was good. And God separated 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. 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 an expanse in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters." And it was so.
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 expanse, and separated the waters which were under the expanse from the waters which were above the expanse.
8 Deus chamou a vastidão de “céu”. Havia a noite e havia a manhã, um segundo dia.
And God called the expanse Sky. And God saw that it was good. 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 sky be gathered to one gathering, and let the dry land appear." And it was so. And the waters under the sky gathered to their gatherings, and the dry land appeared.
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 gatherings of the waters he called 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 produce vegetation, plants yielding seed after its kind, and fruit trees bearing fruit with seed in it after its kind, 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.
And the earth brought forth vegetation, plants yielding seed after its kind, and fruit trees bearing fruit with seed in it after its kind, on the earth. And God saw that it was good.
13 Havia a noite e havia a manhã, um terceiro dia.
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 expanse of the sky for the illumination of the day, to give light on the earth, and to rule the day and the night, and to separate between the day and the night. And let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and for 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 shine 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.
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 expanse of the sky to shine on 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.
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 flying creatures fly above the earth in the open expanse of the sky." And it was so.
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 large sea creatures, and every living creature that moves, with which the waters swarmed, after its kind, and every winged flying creature 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 the flying creatures multiply on the earth."
23 Havia a noite e havia a manhã, um quinto dia.
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 living creatures after its kind: tame animals, and crawling creatures, and wild animals 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 wild animals of the earth after its kind, and the tame animals after its kind, and everything that crawls on 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 humankind in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the flying creatures of the sky, and over the tame animals, and over all the wild animals of the earth, and over every creature that crawls on the earth." And it was so.
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 humankind in his own image. In God's image he created him; male and female he created 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, saying, "Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the flying creatures of the sky, and over all the tame animals, and over all the wild animals of the earth, and over all the creatures that crawl on 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, "Look, I have given you every plant yielding seed, which is on the surface of all the earth, and every tree, which bears fruit yielding seed. It will be your 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 wild animal of the earth, and to every tame animal of the earth, and to every flying creature of the sky, and to every creature that crawls on the earth, in which there is life, I have given every green plant for food."
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 everything that he had made, and look, it was very good. There was evening and there was morning, a sixth day.
