1 No princípio, criou Deus os céus e a terra. 2 A terra, porém, estava sem forma e vazia; havia trevas sobre a face do abismo, e o Espírito de Deus pairava por sobre as águas.

3 Disse Deus: Haja luz; e houve luz. 4 E viu Deus que a luz era boa; e fez separação entre a luz e as trevas. 5 Chamou Deus à luz Dia e às trevas, Noite. Houve tarde e manhã, o primeiro dia.

6 E disse Deus: Haja firmamento no meio das águas e separação entre águas e águas. 7 Fez, pois, Deus o firmamento e separação entre as águas debaixo do firmamento e as águas sobre o firmamento. E assim se fez. 8 E chamou Deus ao firmamento Céus. Houve tarde e manhã, o segundo dia.

9 Disse também Deus: Ajuntem-se as águas debaixo dos céus num só lugar, e apareça a porção seca. E assim se fez. 10 À porção seca chamou Deus Terra e ao ajuntamento das águas, Mares. E viu Deus que isso era bom. 11 E disse: Produza a terra relva, ervas que deem semente e árvores frutíferas que deem fruto segundo a sua espécie, cuja semente esteja nele, sobre a terra. E assim se fez. 12 A terra, pois, produziu relva, ervas que davam semente segundo a sua espécie e árvores que davam fruto, cuja semente estava nele, conforme a sua espécie. E viu Deus que isso era bom. 13 Houve tarde e manhã, o terceiro dia.

14 Disse também Deus: Haja luzeiros no firmamento dos céus, para fazerem separação entre o dia e a noite; e sejam eles para sinais, para estações, para dias e anos. 15 E sejam para luzeiros no firmamento dos céus, para alumiar a terra. E assim se fez. 16 Fez Deus os dois grandes luzeiros: o maior para governar o dia, e o menor para governar a noite; e fez também as estrelas. 17 E os colocou no firmamento dos céus para alumiarem a terra, 18 para governarem o dia e a noite e fazerem separação entre a luz e as trevas. E viu Deus que isso era bom. 19 Houve tarde e manhã, o quarto dia.

20 Disse também Deus: Povoem-se as águas de enxames de seres viventes; e voem as aves sobre a terra, sob o firmamento dos céus. 21 Criou, pois, Deus os grandes animais marinhos e todos os seres viventes que rastejam, os quais povoavam as águas, segundo as suas espécies; e todas as aves, segundo as suas espécies. E viu Deus que isso era bom. 22 E Deus os abençoou, dizendo: Sede fecundos, multiplicai-vos e enchei as águas dos mares; e, na terra, se multipliquem as aves. 23 Houve tarde e manhã, o quinto dia.

24 Disse também Deus: Produza a terra seres viventes, conforme a sua espécie: animais domésticos, répteis e animais selváticos, segundo a sua espécie. E assim se fez. 25 E fez Deus os animais selváticos, segundo a sua espécie, e os animais domésticos, conforme a sua espécie, e todos os répteis da terra, conforme a sua espécie. E viu Deus que isso era bom.

26 Também disse Deus: Façamos o homem à nossa imagem, conforme a nossa semelhança; tenha ele domínio sobre os peixes do mar, sobre as aves dos céus, sobre os animais domésticos, sobre toda a terra e sobre todos os répteis que rastejam pela terra. 27 Criou Deus, pois, o homem à sua imagem, à imagem de Deus o criou; homem e mulher os criou. 28 E Deus os abençoou e lhes disse: Sede fecundos, multiplicai-vos, enchei a terra e sujeitai-a; dominai sobre os peixes do mar, sobre as aves dos céus e sobre todo animal que rasteja pela terra. 29 E disse Deus ainda: Eis que vos tenho dado todas as ervas que dão semente e se acham na superfície de toda a terra e todas as árvores em que há fruto que dê semente; isso vos será para mantimento. 30 E a todos os animais da terra, e a todas as aves dos céus, e a todos os répteis da terra, em que há fôlego de vida, toda erva verde lhes será para mantimento. E assim se fez. 31 Viu Deus tudo quanto fizera, e eis que era muito bom. Houve tarde e manhã, o sexto dia.

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 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

2 Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.

3 And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light.

4 God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness.

5 God called the light "day," and the darkness he called "night." And there was evening, and there was morning —the first day.

6 And God said, "Let there be a vault between the waters to separate water from water."

7 So God made the vault and separated the water under the vault from the water above it. And it was so.

8 God called the vault "sky." And there was evening, and there was morning —the second day.

9 And God said, "Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear." And it was so.

10 God called the dry ground "land," and the gathered waters he called "seas." And God saw that it was good.

11 Then God said, "Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds." And it was so.

12 The land produced vegetation: plants bearing seed according to their kinds and trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds. 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 vault of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark sacred times, and days and years,

15 and let them be lights in the vault of the sky to give light on the earth." And it was so.

16 God made two great lights —the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars.

17 God set them in the vault of the sky to give light on the earth,

18 to govern the day and the night, and to separate light from darkness. 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 water teem with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the vault of the sky."

21 So God created the great creatures of the sea and every living thing with which the water teems and that moves about in it, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.

22 God blessed them and said, "Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the water in the seas, and let the birds increase on the earth."

23 And there was evening, and there was morning —the fifth day.

24 And God said, "Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds: the livestock, the creatures that move along the ground, and the wild animals, each according to its kind." And it was so.

25 God made the wild animals according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and all the creatures that move along the ground according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good.

26 Then God said, "Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, "and over all the creatures that move along the ground."

27 So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.

28 God blessed them and said to them, "Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground."

29 Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food.

30 And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds in the sky and all the creatures that move along the ground —everything that has the breath of life in it —I give every green plant for food." And it was so.

31 God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning —the sixth day.
