1 No princípio, criou Deus os céus 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 esteja nela sobre a terra. E assim foi. 12 E a terra produziu erva, erva dando semente conforme a sua espécie e 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 alumiar 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 alumiar 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 réptil de alma vivente que as águas abundantemente produziram conforme as suas espécies, e toda 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 bestas-feras da terra conforme a sua espécie. E assim foi. 25 E fez Deus as bestas-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 réptil que se move sobre a terra. 27 E criou Deus o homem à sua imagem; à imagem de Deus o criou; macho e fêmea 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 erva que dá semente e que está sobre a face de toda a terra e toda árvore em que há fruto de árvore que dá semente; ser-vos-ão para mantimento. 30 E a todo animal da terra, e a toda ave dos céus, e a todo réptil da terra, em que há alma vivente, toda a erva verde lhes 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 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 was waving over 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 between the light and the darkness.

5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And it was evening and it was morning, the first day.

6 And God said, Let there be an expansion in the midst of the waters, and let it divide between waters and waters.

7 And God made the expansion, and divided between the waters which were under the expansion and the waters which were above the expansion: and it was so.

8 And God called the expansion Heaven. And it was evening and it was morning, the second day.

9 And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land be visible: and it was so.

10 And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters he called Seas: and God saw that it was good.

11 And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, herbs yielding seed, fruit–trees yielding fruit after their kind, in which its seed is upon the earth: and it was so.

12 And the earth brought forth grass, herbs yielding seed after their kind, and trees yielding fruit, in which its seed is after their kind: and God saw that it was good.

13 And it was evening and it was morning, the third day.

14 And God said, Let there be lights in the expansion of the heaven to divide between the day and 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 expansion of the 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; and the stars.

17 And God set them in the expansion of the heaven to give light upon the earth,

18 And to rule by day and by night, and to divide between the light and the darkness: and God saw that it was good.

19 And it was evening and it was morning, the fourth day.

20 And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly moving creatures that have life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open expansion of the heaven.

21 And God created the great sea–monsters, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly after their kind, and every winged fowl 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 the fowl multiply on the earth.

23 And it was evening and it was morning, the 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 every thing that creepeth upon the earth 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 they shall have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the heaven, 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 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 fill the earth, and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the heaven, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

29 And God said, Behold I have given unto you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree on 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 fowl of the heaven, and to every thing 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 every thing that he had made, and behold, it was very good. And it was evening and it was morning, the sixth day.
