Genesis 1
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Bíblia Portuguesa Mundial (Brazilian Portuguese)
1IN THE beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
1No princípio, Deus criou os céus e a terra.
2Now 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.
2A terra era sem forma e vazia. As trevas estavam sobre a superfície do abismo e o Espírito de Deus pairava sobre a superfície das águas.
3And God said: 'Let there be light.' And there was light.
3Disse Deus: “Haja luz”, e houve luz.
4And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness.
4Deus viu a luz, e viu que era boa. Deus separou a luz das trevas.
5And God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, one day.
5Deus chamou à luz “dia”, e às trevas ele chamou “noite”. Houve tarde e houve manhã, o primeiro dia.
6And God said: 'Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.'
6Disse Deus: “Haja um firmamento no meio das águas, e que ele separe as águas das águas.”
7And 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.
7Deus fez o firmamento, e separou as águas que estavam debaixo do firmamento das águas que estavam por cima do firmamento; e assim foi.
8And God called the firmament Heaven. And there was evening and there was morning, a second day.
8Deus chamou ao firmamento “céu”. Houve tarde e houve manhã, o segundo dia.
9And God said: 'Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear.' And it was so.
9Disse Deus: “Que as águas debaixo do céu se ajuntem num só lugar, e apareça a porção seca”; e assim foi.
10And God called the dry land Earth, and the gathering together of the waters called He Seas; and God saw that it was good.
10Deus chamou à porção seca “terra”, e ao ajuntamento das águas ele chamou “mares”. Deus viu que era bom.
11And 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.
11Disse Deus: “Que a terra produza relva, ervas que deem semente, e árvores frutíferas que deem fruto segundo a sua espécie, com as suas sementes nele, sobre a terra”; e assim foi.
12And 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.
12A terra produziu relva, ervas dando semente segundo a sua espécie, e árvores dando fruto, com as suas sementes nele, segundo a sua espécie; e Deus viu que era bom.
13And there was evening and there was morning, a third day.
13Houve tarde e houve manhã, o terceiro dia.
14And 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;
14Disse Deus: “Haja luminares no firmamento do céu para separar o dia da noite; e que eles sirvam de sinais para marcar as estações, os dias e os anos;
15and let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth.' And it was so.
15e que eles sirvam de luminares no firmamento do céu para iluminar a terra”; e assim foi.
16And God made the two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night; and the stars.
16Deus fez os dois grandes luminares: o luminar maior para governar o dia, e o luminar menor para governar a noite. Ele fez também as estrelas.
17And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,
17Deus os colocou no firmamento do céu para iluminar a terra,
18and to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness; and God saw that it was good.
18e para governar sobre o dia e sobre a noite, e para separar a luz das trevas. Deus viu que era bom.
19And there was evening and there was morning, a fourth day.
19Houve tarde e houve manhã, o quarto dia.
20And God said: 'Let the waters swarm with swarms of living creatures, and let fowl fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.'
20Disse Deus: “Que as águas fervilhem de criaturas vivas, e que as aves voem sobre a terra no firmamento aberto do céu.”
21And 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.
21Deus criou as grandes criaturas marinhas e toda criatura viva que se move, com as quais as águas fervilhavam, segundo a sua espécie, e toda ave alada segundo a sua espécie. Deus viu que era bom.
22And God blessed them, saying: 'Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.'
22Deus os abençoou, dizendo: “Sejam férteis e multipliquem-se, e encham as águas nos mares, e que as aves se multipliquem sobre a terra.”
23And there was evening and there was morning, a fifth day.
23Houve tarde e houve manhã, o quinto dia.
24And 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.
24Disse Deus: “Que a terra produza criaturas vivas segundo a sua espécie, gado, animais rastejantes e animais da terra segundo a sua espécie”; e assim foi.
25And 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.
25Deus fez os animais da terra segundo a sua espécie, e o gado segundo a sua espécie, e tudo o que rasteja sobre a terra segundo a sua espécie. Deus viu que era bom.
26And 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.'
26Disse Deus: “Façamos o homem à nossa imagem, conforme a nossa semelhança. Que eles tenham domínio sobre os peixes do mar, e sobre as aves do céu, e sobre o gado, e sobre toda a terra, e sobre todo animal rastejante que rasteja sobre a terra.”
27And God created man in His own image, in the image of God created He him; male and female created He them.
27Deus criou o homem à sua própria imagem. À imagem de Deus ele o criou; macho e fêmea ele os criou.
28And 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.'
28Deus os abençoou. Deus lhes disse: “Sejam férteis, multipliquem-se, encham a terra e subjuguem-na. Tenham domínio sobre os peixes do mar, sobre as aves do céu e sobre todo ser vivo que se move sobre a terra.”
29And 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;
29Disse Deus: “Eis que, eu lhes dei toda erva que dá semente, que está sobre a superfície de toda a terra, e toda árvore que dá fruto com semente. Isso servirá de alimento para vocês.
30and 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.
30E a todo animal da terra, e a toda ave do céu, e a tudo o que rasteja sobre a terra, em que há vida, eu dei toda erva verde como alimento”; e assim foi.
31And 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.
31Deus viu tudo o que havia feito, e eis que era muito bom. Houve tarde e houve manhã, o sexto dia.
