1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 And the earth was waste and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep: and the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. 3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. 4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. 5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, one day.
6 And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. 7 And 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. 8 And God called the firmament Heaven. And there was evening and there was morning, a second day.
9 And God said, Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so. 10 And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good. 11 And God said, Let the earth put forth grass, herbs yielding seed, and fruit-trees bearing fruit after their kind, wherein is the seed thereof, upon the earth: and it was so. 12 And the earth brought forth grass, herbs yielding seed after their kind, and trees bearing fruit, wherein is the seed thereof, after their kind: and God saw that it was good. 13 And there was evening and there was morning, a third day.
14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years: 15 and let them be for lights in the firmament of heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so. 16 And God made the two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also. 17 And God set them in the firmament of heaven to give light upon the earth, 18 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 And there was evening and there was morning, a fourth day.
20 And God said, Let the waters swarm with swarms of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. 21 And God created the great sea-monsters, and every living creature that moveth, wherewith the waters swarmed, after their kind, and every winged bird after its kind: and God saw that it was good. 22 And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth. 23 And there was evening and there was morning, a fifth day.
24 And God said, Let the earth bring forth living creatures after their kind, cattle, and creeping things, and beasts of the earth after their kind: and it was so. 25 And God made the beasts of the earth after their kind, and the cattle after their kind, and everything that creepeth upon the ground after its kind: and God saw that it was good. 26 And 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 birds of the heavens, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 27 And God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. 28 And 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 birds of the heavens, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. 29 And 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: 30 and to every beast of the earth, and to every bird of the heavens, and to everything that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for food: and it was so. 31 And God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.
1 No princípio, Deus criou os céus e a terra.
2 A terra estava informe e vazia; as trevas cobriam o abismo e o Espírito de Deus pairava sobre as águas.
3 Deus disse: "Faça-se a luz!" E a luz foi feita.
4 Deus viu que a luz era boa, e separou a luz das trevas.
5 Deus chamou à luz DIA, e às trevas NOITE. Sobreveio a tarde e depois a manhã: foi o primeiro dia.
6 Deus disse: "Faça-se um firmamento entre as águas, e separe ele umas das outras".
7 Deus fez o firmamento e separou as águas que estavam debaixo do firmamento daquelas que estavam por cima.
8 E assim se fez. Deus chamou ao firmamento CÉUS. Sobreveio a tarde e depois a manhã: foi o segundo dia.
9 Deus disse: "Que as águas que estão debaixo dos céus se ajuntem num mesmo lugar, e apareça o elemento árido." E assim se fez.
10 Deus chamou ao elemento árido TERRA, e ao ajuntamento das águas MAR. E Deus viu que isso era bom.
11 Deus disse: "Produza a terra plantas, ervas que contenham semente e árvores frutíferas que dêem fruto segundo a sua espécie e o fruto contenha a sua semente." E assim foi feito.
12 A terra produziu plantas, ervas que contêm semente segundo a sua espécie, e árvores que produzem fruto segundo a sua espécie, contendo o fruto a sua semente. E Deus viu que isso era bom.
13 Sobreveio a tarde e depois a manhã: foi o terceiro dia.
14 Deus disse: "Façam-se luzeiros no firmamento dos céus para separar o dia da noite; sirvam eles de sinais e marquem o tempo, os dias e os anos,
15 e resplandeçam no firmamento dos céus para iluminar a terra". E assim se fez.
16 Deus fez os dois grandes luzeiros: o maior para presidir ao dia, e o menor para presidir à noite; e fez também as estrelas.
17 Deus colocou-os no firmamento dos céus para que iluminassem a terra,
18 presidissem ao dia e à noite, e separassem a luz das trevas. E Deus viu que isso era bom.
19 Sobreveio a tarde e depois a manhã: foi o quarto dia.
20 Deus disse: "Pululem as águas de uma multidão de seres vivos, e voem aves sobre a terra, debaixo do firmamento dos céus."
21 Deus criou os monstros marinhos e toda a multidão de seres vivos que enchem as águas, segundo a sua espécie, e todas as aves segundo a sua espécie. E Deus viu que isso era bom.
22 E Deus os abençoou: "Frutificai, disse ele, e multiplicai-vos, e enchei as águas do mar, e que as aves se multipliquem sobre a terra."
23 Sobreveio a tarde e depois a manhã: foi o quinto dia.
24 Deus disse: "Produza a terra seres vivos segundo a sua espécie: animais domésticos, répteis e animais selvagens, segundo a sua espécie." E assim se fez.
25 Deus fez os animais selvagens segundo a sua espécie, os animais domésticos igualmente, e da mesma forma todos os animais, que se arrastam sobre a terra. E Deus viu que isso era bom.
26 Então Deus disse: "Façamos o homem à nossa imagem e semelhança. Que ele reine sobre os peixes do mar, sobre as aves dos céus, sobre os animais domésticos e sobre toda a terra, e sobre todos os répteis que se arrastem sobre a terra."
27 Deus criou o homem à sua imagem; criou-o à imagem de Deus, criou o homem e a mulher.
28 Deus os abençoou: "Frutificai, disse ele, e multiplicai-vos, enchei a terra e submetei-a. Dominai sobre os peixes do mar, sobre as aves dos céus e sobre todos os animais que se arrastam sobre a terra."
29 Deus disse: "Eis que eu vos dou toda a erva que dá semente sobre a terra, e todas as árvores frutíferas que contêm em si mesmas a sua semente, para que vos sirvam de alimento.
30 E a todos os animais da terra, a todas as aves dos céus, a tudo o que se arrasta sobre a terra, e em que haja sopro de vida, eu dou toda erva verde por alimento." E assim se fez.
31 Deus contemplou toda a sua obra, e viu que tudo era muito bom. Sobreveio a tarde e depois a manhã: foi o sexto dia.
