Criação
A criação revela a glória de Deus. Céus, terra, mares e tudo o que existe testemunham o poder criador. No princípio Deus criou — e tudo era muito bom.
No princípio
No princípio criou Deus os céus e a terra. O Espírito de Deus pairava sobre as águas. E Deus disse: haja luz.
In [the] beginning God created the heavens and the earth, and the earth was formless and void, and darkness [was] on the face of the deep, and the Spirit of God [was] fluttering on the face of the waters,
And God says, "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness, and let them rule over [the] fish of the sea, and over [the] bird of the heavens, and over livestock, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that is creeping on the earth."
And God creates the man in His image; in the image of God He created him, a male and a female He created them.
And God blesses the seventh day, and sanctifies it, for in it He has ceased from all His work which God had created for making.
And YHWH God says, "[It is] not good for the man to be alone; I make him a helper as his counterpart."
O poder criador
Pela palavra do Senhor foram feitos os céus. Tudo foi criado por Ele e para Ele — o visível e o invisível.
By the word of YHWH || The heavens have been made, || And all their host by the breath of His mouth.
Before mountains were brought forth, || And You form the earth and the world, || Even from age to age You [are] God.
Come in, we bow ourselves, and we bend, || We kneel before YHWH our Maker.
A SONG OF THE ASCENTS. I lift up my eyes to the hills, || From where does my help come? My help [is] from YHWH, || Maker of the heavens and earth,
Our help [is] in the Name of YHWH, || Maker of the heavens and earth!
This [is] the day YHWH has made, || We rejoice and are glad in it.
For You have possessed my reins, || You cover me in my mother’s belly. I confess You, because I have been fearfully distinguished. Your works [are] wonderful, || And my soul is knowing [it] well.
Criador e Sustentador
O Deus eterno não se cansa nem se fatiga. Dele, por Ele e para Ele são todas as coisas — a Ele seja a glória.
Have you not known? Have you not heard? The God of the age—YHWH, || Preparer of the ends of the earth, || Is not wearied nor fatigued, || There is no searching of His understanding.
Woe [to] him who is striving with his Former || (A potsherd with potsherds of the ground!) Does clay say to its Framer, What [are] you doing? And your work, He has no hands?
"Aah! Lord YHWH, behold, You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power, and by Your outstretched arm; there is nothing too wonderful for You:
Who is building His upper chambers in the heavens; As for His troop, || On earth He has founded it, || Who is calling for the waters of the sea, || And pours them out on the face of the land, || YHWH [is] His Name.
Because of Him, and through Him, and to Him [are] all things; to Him [is] the glory—for all ages. Amen.
for the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world, by the things made being understood, are plainly seen, both His eternal power and Godhead—to their being inexcusable;
for the earnest looking out of the creation expects the revelation of the sons of God;
Nova criação
Se alguém está em Cristo, nova criatura é. O Criador faz novas todas as coisas — na natureza e na redenção.
so that if anyone [is] in Christ—[he is] a new creature; the old things passed away, behold, all things have become new.
for we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus on good works, which God prepared before, that we may walk in them.
having willed [it], He begot us with a word of truth, for our being a certain first-fruit of His creatures.
For every house is built by someone, and He who built all things [is] God,
for in Him we live, and move, and are; as certain of your poets have also said: For we are also His offspring.
And every creature that is in Heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and the things that are on the sea, and all things in them, I heard saying, "To Him who is sitting on the throne and to the Lamb—the blessing, and the honor, and the glory, and the might—through the ages of the ages!"
