Genesis 1
1 In the beginning, God created heaven and earth.
No princípio criou Deus os céus e a terra.
2 But the earth was empty and unoccupied, and darknesses were over the face of the abyss; and so the Spirit of God was brought over the waters.
E a terra era sem forma e vazia; e havia trevas sobre a face do abismo: e o espírito de Deus se movia sobre a face das águas.
3 And God said, “Let there be light.” And light became.
E disse Deus: Haja luz: e houve luz.
4 And God saw the light, that it was good; and so he divided the light from the darknesses.
E viu Deus que era boa a luz: e fez Deus separação entre a luz e as trevas.
5 And he called the light, ‘Day,’ and the darknesses, ‘Night.’ And it became evening and morning, one day.
E Deus chamou à luz Dia; e às trevas chamou Noite. E foi a tarde e a manhã, o dia primeiro.
6 God also said, “Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide waters from waters.”
E disse Deus: Haja uma expansão no meio das águas, e haja separação entre águas e águas.
7 And God made a firmament, and he divided the waters that were under the firmament, from those that were above the firmament. And so it became.
E fez Deus a expansão, e fez separação entre as águas que estavam debaixo da expansão e as águas que estavam sobre a expansão: e assim foi.
8 And God called the firmament ‘Heaven.’ And it became evening and morning, the second day.
E chamou Deus à expansão Céus, e foi a tarde e a manhã o dia segundo.
9 Truly God said: “Let the waters that are under heaven be gathered together into one place; and let the dry land appear.” And so it became.
E disse Deus: Ajuntem-se as águas debaixo dos céus num lugar; e apareça a porção seca: e assim foi.
10 And God called the dry land, ‘Earth,’ and he called the gathering of the waters, ‘Seas.’ And God saw that it was good.
E chamou Deus à porção seca Terra; e ao ajuntamento das águas chamou Mares: e viu Deus que era bom.
11 And he said, “Let the land spring forth green plants, both those producing seed, and fruit-bearing trees, producing fruit according to their kind, whose seed is within itself, over all the earth.” And so it became.
Disse Deus: Produza a terra erva verde, erva que dê semente, árvore frutífera que dê fruto segundo a sua espécie, cuja semente está nela sobre a terra: e assim foi.
12 And the land brought forth green plants, both those producing seed, according to their kind, and trees producing fruit, with each having its own way of sowing, according to its species. And God saw that it was good.
E a terra produziu erva, erva dando semente conforme a sua espécie, e a árvore frutífera, cuja semente está nela conforme a sua espécie: e viu Deus que era bom.
13 And it became evening and the morning, the third day.
E foi a tarde, e a manhã, o dia terceiro.
14 Then God said: “Let there be lights in the firmament of heaven. And let them divide day from night, and let them become signs, both of the seasons, and of the days and years.
E disse Deus: Haja luminares na expansão dos céus, para haver separação entre o dia e a noite; e sejam eles para sinais e para tempos determinados e para dias e anos.
15 Let them shine in the firmament of heaven and illuminate the earth.” And so it became.
E sejam para luminares na expansão dos céus, para alumiar a terra: e assim foi.
16 And God made two great lights: a greater light, to rule over the day, and a lesser light, to rule over the night, along with the stars.
E fez Deus os dois grandes luminares: o luminar maior para governar o dia, e o luminar menor para governar a noite; e as estrelas.
17 And he set them in the firmament of heaven, to give light over all the earth,
E Deus os pôs na expansão dos céus para alumiar a terra,
18 and to rule over the day as well as the night, and to divide light from darkness. And God saw that it was good.
E para governar o dia e a noite, e para fazer separação entre a luz e as trevas: e viu Deus que era bom.
19 And it became evening and morning, the fourth day.
E foi a tarde, e a manhã, o dia quarto.
20 And then God said, “Let the waters produce animals with a living soul, and flying creatures above the earth, under the firmament of heaven.”
E disse Deus: Produzam as águas abundantemente réptis de alma vivente; e vôem as aves sobre a face da expansão dos céus.
21 And God created the great sea creatures, and everything with a living soul and the ability to move that the waters produced, according to their species, and all the flying creatures, according to their kind. And God saw that it was good.
E Deus criou as grandes baleias, e todo o réptil de alma vivente que as águas abundantemente produziram conforme as suas espécies; e toda a ave de asas conforme a sua espécie: e viu Deus que era bom.
22 And he blessed them, saying: “Increase and multiply, and fill the waters of the sea. And let the birds be multiplied above the land.”
E Deus as abençoou, dizendo: frutificai e multiplicai-vos, e enchei as águas nos mares; e as aves se multipliquem na terra.
23 And it became evening and morning, the fifth day.
E foi a tarde, e a manhã, o dia quinto.
24 God also said, “Let the land produce living souls in their kind: cattle, and animals, and wild beasts of the earth, according to their species.” And so it became.
E disse Deus: Produza a terra alma vivente conforme a sua espécie; gado e réptis, e bestas feras da terra conforme a sua espécie: e assim foi.
25 And God made the wild beasts of the earth according to their species, and the cattle, and every animal on the land, according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.
E fez Deus as bestas feras da terra conforme a sua espécie, e o gado conforme a sua espécie, e todo o réptil da terra conforme a sua espécie: e viu Deus que era bom.
26 And he said: “Let us make Man to our image and likeness. And let him rule over the fish of the sea, and the flying creatures of the air, and the wild beasts, and the entire earth, and every animal that moves on the earth.”
E disse Deus: Façamos o homem à nossa imagem, conforme à nossa semelhança: e domine sobre os peixes do mar, e sobre as aves dos céus, e sobre o gado, e sobre toda a terra, e sobre todo o réptil que se move sobre a terra.
27 And God created man to his own image; to the image of God he created him; male and female, he created them.
E criou Deus o homem à sua imagem: à imagem de Deus o criou: macho e fêmea os criou.
28 And God blessed them, and he said, “Increase and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and the flying creatures of the air, and over every living thing that moves upon the earth.”
E Deus os abençoou, e Deus lhes disse: frutificai e multiplicai-vos, e enchei a terra, e sujeitai-a: e dominai sobre os peixes do mar, e sobre as aves dos céus, e sobre todo o animal que se move sobre a terra.
29 And God said: “Behold, I have given you every seed-bearing plant upon the earth, and all the trees that have in themselves the ability to sow their own kind, to be food for you,
E disse Deus: Eis que vos tenho dado toda a erva que dá semente, que está sobre a face de toda a terra; e toda a árvore, em que há fruto de árvore que dá semente, ser-vos-a para mantimento.
30 and for all the animals of the land, and for all the flying things of the air, and for everything that moves upon the earth and in which there is a living soul, so that they may have these on which to feed.” And so it became.
E todo o animal da terra, e toda a ave dos céus, e todo o réptil da terra, em que há alma vivente; toda a erva verde será para mantimento: e assim foi.
31 And God saw everything that he had made. And they were very good. And it became evening and morning, the sixth day.
E viu Deus tudo quanto tinha feito, e eis que era muito bom: e foi a tarde, e a manhã, o dia sexto.
