1 Quando Deus começou criando o firmamento e a Terra, esta era de início um caos e como uma massa amorfa, com o Espírito de Deus planando sobre os vapores que enchiam as trevas.

3 Então Deus disse: Haja luz. E a luz apareceu. Deus ficou satisfeito e demarcou o aparecimento da luz em relação à escuridão.

5 Ao tempo durante o qual a luz brilhou chamou-lhe dia, e à escuridão noite. Essa sequência formou o primeiro dia.

6 E Deus disse: Que os vapores se separem, deixando que haja uma atmosfera acima da Terra, e águas na sua superfície.

7 Foi assim que Deus formou o firmamento e que separou as águas que estão na Terra das que se encontram na atmosfera. Tudo isto aconteceu no segundo dia.

13 Estas coisas deram-se ao terceiro dia.

14 Deus disse ainda: Que no firmamento haja fontes de luz que iluminem a Terra e demarquem o dia e a noite. Servirão também para estabelecer a sucessão das estações, e a sequência dos dias e dos anos.

15 E assim aconteceu. Deus fez pois duas grandes fontes de luz: o Sol e a Lua, para iluminarem a Terra; o Sol, o maior, para dirigir o dia, e a Lua mais pequena, para brilhar durante a noite. Deus fez também os outros corpos celestes. Foi assim que fixou essas fontes de luz no firmamento para iluminarem a Terra, para determinarem os dias e as noites, para separarem a luz das trevas. E Deus ficou satisfeito.

19 Isto deu-se no quarto dia.

20 E disse mais: Que as águas se encham de peixes e de várias espécies de vida. Que os céus também sejam atravessados por aves de toda a categoria.

21 Foi assim que Deus criou os grandes animais marinhos, e toda a qualidade de vida aquática, tal como toda a sorte de pássaros, os quais se haviam de reproduzir sempre segundo as suas espécies. E Deus viu que isso estava bem.

22 E abençoou-os: Multipliquem-se e encham os mares e as águas. E para os pássaros e animais alados: Que o vosso número aumente mul- tiplicadamente: encham a terra!

23 E aconteceu isto no quinto dia.

26 Disse mais Deus: Façamos um homem, um ser semelhante a nós, e que domine sobre todas as formas de vida na terra, nos ares e nas águas.

27 Deus criou então o homem semelhante ao seu Criador; assim Deus criou o homem. Homem e mulher - foi assim que os fez.

28 Deus os abençoou, e disse-lhes: Multipliquem-se, encham a terra, dominem-na e também toda a vida animal da terra, dos mares e dos ares; dou-vos toda a vida vegetal, toda a espécie de frutos para alimento. A todos os animais dou igualmente como alimento a vida vegetal. E foi assim que aconteceu. Deus viu que tudo quanto tinha feito era excelente. Assim passou o sexto dia.

1 In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.

2 Now, the earth, had become waste and wild, and darkness, was on the face of the roaring deep,but, the Spirit of God, was brooding on the face of the waters,

3 And God saidLight, be, And light was.

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, but the darkness, called he, night. So it was eveningand it was morning, one day.

6 And God said, Let there be an expanse in the midst of the waters, and let it be a means of dividing, between waters and waters,

7 And God made the expanse, and it divided between the waters that were under the expanse and the waters that were above the expanse. And it was so.

8 And God called the expanse, heavens. So it was eveningand it was morning, a, second day.

9 And God saidLet the waters under the heavens be gathered together, into one place, and let the dryground appear. And it was so.

10 And God called, the dry-ground, land, but the gathering together of the waters, called he seas. And God saw that it was good.

11 And God saidLet the land put-forth vegetation-herb yielding seed, fruit-tree, bearing fruit, after its kind, whose seed is within it on the land. And it was so,

12 And the land brought-forth vegetationherb yielding seed after its kind, and tree bearing fruit, whose seed is within it, after its kind, And God saw that it was good.

13 So it was eveningand it was morning, a third day.

14 And God saidLet there be luminaries in the expanse of the heavens, to divide between the day and the night,and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years;

15 yea let them be for luminaries in the expanse of the heavens, to give light on the earth. And it was so.

16 And God made the two great luminaries,the greater luminary to rule the day, and the lesser luminary to rule the night, also the stars.

17 And God set them in the expanse of the heavens,to give light on 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 So it was eveningand it was morning, a fourth day.

20 And God saidLet the waters swarm with an abundance of living soul, and, birds, shall fly over the earth, over the face of the expanse of the heavens.

21 And God created the great sea-monsters,and every living soul that moveth which the waters swarmed after their kind and every winged birdafter 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 birds, multiply in the land.

23 So it was eveningand it was morning, a fifth day.

24 And God saidLet the land, bring forth, living soul, after its kind, tame-beast and creeping thing and wild-beast, of the land, after its kind. And it was so.

25 And God made the wild-beast of the land after its kind, and the tame-beast after its kind, and every creeping thing of the ground, after its kind. And God saw that it was good.

26 And God saidLet us make man in our image after our likenessand let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the bird of the heavens and over the tame-beastand over all the land, and over every creeping thing, that creepeth on the land.

27 And God created the 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 to them Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it,and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the bird of the heavens, and over every living thing that moveth on the land.

29 And God saidLo! I have given to youevery herb yielding seed which is on the face of all the land, and every tree wherein is the fruit of a tree yielding seed,to you, shall it be, for food;

30 and to every living thing of the landand to every bird of the heavens, and to every thing that moveth on the land, wherein is a living soul, every green herb for food. And it wins so.

31 And God saw every thing which he had made, and lo! it was very good. So it was eveningand it was morning, the sixth day.
