1 No princípio criou Deus o céu e a terra.
2 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 E disse Deus: Haja luz; e houve luz.
4 E viu Deus que era boa a luz; e fez Deus separação entre a luz e as trevas.
5 E Deus chamou à luz Dia; e às trevas chamou Noite. E foi a tarde e a manhã, o dia primeiro.
6 E disse Deus: Haja uma expansão no meio das águas, e haja separação entre águas e águas.
7 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 E chamou Deus à expansão Céus, e foi a tarde e a manhã, o dia segundo.
9 E disse Deus: Ajuntem-se as águas debaixo dos céus num lugar; e apareça a porção seca; e assim foi.
10 E chamou Deus à porção seca Terra; e ao ajuntamento das águas chamou Mares; e viu Deus que era bom.
11 E 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 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 E foi a tarde e a manhã, o dia terceiro.
14 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 E sejam para luminares na expansão dos céus, para iluminar a terra; e assim foi.
16 E fez Deus os dois grandes luminares: o luminar maior para governar o dia, e o luminar menor para governar a noite; e fez as estrelas.
17 E Deus os pôs na expansão dos céus para iluminar a terra,
18 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 E foi a tarde e a manhã, o dia quarto.
20 E disse Deus: Produzam as águas abundantemente répteis de alma vivente; e voem as aves sobre a face da expansão dos céus.
21 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 E Deus os abençoou, dizendo: Frutificai e multiplicai-vos, e enchei as águas nos mares; e as aves se multipliquem na terra.
23 E foi a tarde e a manhã, o dia quinto.
24 E disse Deus: Produza a terra alma vivente conforme a sua espécie; gado, e répteis e feras da terra conforme a sua espécie; e assim foi.
25 E fez Deus as 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 E disse Deus: Façamos o homem à nossa imagem, conforme a 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 E criou Deus o homem à sua imagem; à imagem de Deus o criou; homem e mulher os criou.
28 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 E disse Deus: Eis que vos tenho dado toda a erva que dê semente, que está sobre a face de toda a terra; e toda a árvore, em que há fruto que dê semente, ser-vos-á para mantimento.
30 E a todo o animal da terra, e a toda a ave dos céus, e a todo o réptil da terra, em que há alma vivente, toda a erva verde será para mantimento; e assim foi.
31 E viu Deus tudo quanto tinha feito, e eis que era muito bom; e foi a tarde e a manhã, o dia sexto.
1 At the first God made the heaven and the earth.
2 And the earth was waste and without form; and it was dark on the face of the deep: and the Spirit of God was moving on the face of the waters.
3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
4 And God, looking on the light, saw that it was good: and God made a division between the light and the dark,
5 Naming the light, Day, and the dark, Night. And there was evening and there was morning, the first day.
6 And God said, Let there be a solid arch stretching over the waters, parting the waters from the waters.
7 And God made the arch for a division between the waters which were under the arch and those which were over it: and it was so.
8 And God gave the arch the name of Heaven. And there was evening and there was morning, the second day.
9 And God said, Let the waters under the heaven come together in one place, and let the dry land be seen: and it was so.
10 And God gave the dry land the name of Earth; and the waters together in their place were named Seas: and God saw that it was good.
11 And God said, Let grass come up on the earth, and plants producing seed, and fruit-trees giving fruit, in which is their seed, after their sort: and it was so.
12 And grass came up on the earth, and every plant producing seed of its sort, and every tree producing fruit, in which is its seed, of its sort: and God saw that it was good.
13 And there was evening and there was morning, the third day.
14 And God said, Let there be lights in the arch of heaven, for a division between the day and the night, and let them be for signs, and for marking the changes of the year, and for days and for years:
15 And let them be for lights in the arch of heaven to give light on the earth: and it was so.
16 And God made the two great lights: the greater light to be the ruler of the day, and the smaller light to be the ruler of the night: and he made the stars.
17 And God put them in the arch of heaven, to give light on the earth;
18 To have rule over the day and the night, and for a division between the light and the dark: and God saw that it was good.
19 And there was evening and there was morning, the fourth day.
20 And God said, Let the waters be full of living things, and let birds be in flight over the earth under the arch of heaven.
21 And God made great sea-beasts, and every sort of living and moving thing with which the waters were full, and every sort of winged bird: and God saw that it was good.
22 And God gave them his blessing, saying, Be fertile and have increase, making all the waters of the seas full, and let the birds be increased in the earth.
23 And there was evening and there was morning, the fifth day.
24 And God said, Let the earth give birth to all sorts of living things, cattle and all things moving on the earth, and beasts of the earth after their sort: and it was so.
25 And God made the beast of the earth after its sort, and the cattle after their sort, and everything moving on the face of the earth after its sort: and God saw that it was good.
26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, like us: and let him have rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the air and over the cattle and over all the earth and over every living thing which goes flat on the earth.
27 And God made man in his image, in the image of God he made him: male and female he made them.
28 And God gave them his blessing and said to them, Be fertile and have increase, and make the earth full and be masters of it; be rulers over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the air and over every living thing moving on the earth.
29 And God said, See, I have given you every plant producing seed, on the face of all the earth, and every tree which has fruit producing seed: they will be for your food:
30 And to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the air and every living thing moving on the face of the earth I have given every green plant for food: and it was so.
31 And God saw everything which he had made and it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.
