1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 2 And the earth was without form, 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 the evening and the morning were the first 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 the evening and the morning were the second day.
9 And God said, Let the waters under the heaven 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 bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so. 12 And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good. 13 And the evening and the morning were the third day.
14 And 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: 15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so. 16 And God made 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 the 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 the evening and the morning were the fourth day.
20 And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. 21 And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his 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 fowl multiply in the earth. 23 And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.
24 And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so. 25 And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his 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 fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 27 So 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 fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. 30 And 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 life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so. 31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
1 No princípio criou Deus os céus e a terra.
2 A terra era sem forma e vazia; e havia trevas sobre a face do abismo, mas o Espírito de Deus pairava sobre a face das águas.
3 Disse Deus: haja luz. E houve luz.
4 Viu Deus que a luz era boa; e fez separação entre a luz e as trevas.
5 E Deus chamou à luz dia, e às trevas noite. E foi a tarde e a manhã, o dia primeiro.
6 E disse Deus: haja um firmamento no meio das águas, e haja separação entre águas e águas.
7 Fez, pois, Deus o firmamento, e separou as águas que estavam debaixo do firmamento das que estavam por cima do firmamento. E assim foi.
8 Chamou Deus ao firmamento céu. E foi a tarde e a manhã, o dia segundo.
9 E disse Deus: Ajuntem-se num só lugar as águas que estão debaixo do céu, e apareça o elemento seco. E assim foi.
10 Chamou Deus ao elemento seco terra, e ao ajuntamento das águas mares. E viu Deus que isso era bom.
11 E disse Deus: Produza a terra relva, ervas que dêem semente, e árvores frutíferas que, segundo as suas espécies, dêem fruto que tenha em si a sua semente, sobre a terra. E assim foi.
12 A terra, pois, produziu relva, ervas que davam semente segundo as suas espécies, e árvores que davam fruto que tinha em si a sua semente, segundo as suas espécies. E viu Deus que isso era bom.
13 E foi a tarde e a manhã, o dia terceiro.
14 E disse Deus: haja luminares no firmamento do céu, para fazerem separação entre o dia e a noite; sejam eles para sinais e para estações, e para dias e anos;
15 e sirvam de luminares no firmamento do céu, para alumiar a terra. E assim foi.
16 Deus, pois, fez os dois grandes luminares: o luminar maior para governar o dia, e o luminar menor para governar a noite; fez também as estrelas.
17 E Deus os pôs no firmamento do céu para alumiar a terra,
18 para governar o dia e a noite, e para fazer separação entre a luz e as trevas. E viu Deus que isso era bom.
19 E foi a tarde e a manhã, o dia quarto.
20 E disse Deus: Produzam as águas cardumes de seres viventes; e voem as aves acima da terra no firmamento do céu.
21 Criou, pois, Deus os monstros marinhos, e todos os seres viventes que se arrastavam, os quais as águas produziram abundantemente segundo as suas espécies; e toda ave que voa, segundo a sua espécie. E viu Deus que isso era bom.
22 Então Deus os abençoou, dizendo: Frutificai e multiplicai-vos, e enchei as águas dos mares; e multipliquem-se as aves sobre a terra.
23 E foi a tarde e a manhã, o dia quinto.
24 E disse Deus: Produza a terra seres viventes segundo as suas espécies: animais domésticos, répteis, e animais selvagens segundo as suas espécies. E assim foi.
25 Deus, pois, fez os animais selvagens segundo as suas espécies, e os animais domésticos segundo as suas espécies, e todos os répteis da terra segundo as suas espécies. E viu Deus que isso era bom.
26 E disse Deus: Façamos o homem à nossa imagem, conforme a nossa semelhança; domine ele sobre os peixes do mar, sobre as aves do céu, sobre os animais domésticos, e sobre toda a terra, e sobre todo réptil que se arrasta sobre a terra.
27 Criou, pois, Deus o homem à sua imagem; à imagem de Deus o criou; homem e mulher os criou.
28 Então Deus os abençoou e lhes disse: Frutificai e multiplicai-vos; enchei a terra e sujeitai-a; dominai sobre os peixes do mar, sobre as aves do céu e sobre todos os animais que se arrastam sobre a terra.
29 Disse-lhes mais: Eis que vos tenho dado todas as ervas que produzem semente, as quais se acham sobre a face de toda a terra, bem como todas as árvores em que há fruto que dê semente; ser-vos-ão para mantimento.
30 E a todos os animais da terra, a todas as aves do céu e a todo ser vivente que se arrasta sobre a terra, tenho dado todas as ervas verdes como mantimento. E assim foi.
31 E viu Deus tudo quanto fizera, e eis que era muito bom. E foi a tarde e a manhã, o dia sexto.
