1No princípio Deus criou os céus e a terra.2Era a terra sem forma e vazia; trevas cobriam a face do abismo, e o Espírito de Deus se movia sobre a face das águas.3Disse Deus: “Haja luz”, e houve luz.*4Deus viu que a luz era boa, e separou a luz das trevas.5Deus chamou à luz dia, e às trevas chamou noite. Passaram-se a tarde e a manhã; esse foi o primeiro dia.6Depois disse Deus: “Haja entre as águas um firmamento que separe águas de águas”.7Então Deus fez o firmamento e separou as águas que ficaram abaixo do firmamento das que ficaram por cima. E assim foi.8Ao firmamento, Deus chamou céu. Passaram-se a tarde e a manhã; esse foi o segundo dia.9E disse Deus: “Ajuntem-se num só lugar as águas que estão debaixo do céu, e apareça a parte seca”. E assim foi.10À parte seca Deus chamou terra, e chamou mares ao conjunto das águas. E Deus viu que ficou bom.11Então disse Deus: “Cubra-se a terra de vegetação: plantas que deem sementes e árvores cujos frutos produzam sementes de acordo com as suas espécies”. E assim foi.12A terra fez brotar a vegetação: plantas que dão sementes de acordo com as suas espécies, e árvores cujos frutos produzem sementes de acordo com as suas espécies. E Deus viu que ficou bom.13Passaram-se a tarde e a manhã; esse foi o terceiro dia.14Disse Deus: “Haja luminares no firmamento do céu para separar o dia da noite. Sirvam eles de sinais para marcar estações, dias e anos,15e sirvam de luminares no firmamento do céu para iluminar a terra”. E assim foi.16Deus fez os dois grandes luminares: o maior para governar o dia e o menor para governar a noite; fez também as estrelas.17Deus os colocou no firmamento do céu para iluminar a terra,18governar o dia e a noite, e separar a luz das trevas. E Deus viu que ficou bom.19Passaram-se a tarde e a manhã; esse foi o quarto dia.20Disse também Deus: “Encham-se as águas de seres vivos, e voem as aves sobre a terra, sob o firmamento do céu”.21Assim Deus criou os grandes animais aquáticos e os demais seres vivos que povoam as águas, de acordo com as suas espécies; e todas as aves, de acordo com as suas espécies. E Deus viu que ficou bom.22Então Deus os abençoou, dizendo: “Sejam férteis e multipliquem-se! Encham as águas dos mares! E multipliquem-se as aves na terra”.23Passaram-se a tarde e a manhã; esse foi o quinto dia.24E disse Deus: “Produza a terra seres vivos de acordo com as suas espécies: rebanhos domésticos, animais selvagens e os demais seres vivos da terra, cada um de acordo com a sua espécie”. E assim foi.25Deus fez os animais selvagens de acordo com as suas espécies, os rebanhos domésticos de acordo com as suas espécies, e os demais seres vivos da terra de acordo com as suas espécies. E Deus viu que ficou bom.26Então disse Deus: “Façamos o homem à nossa imagem, conforme a nossa semelhança. Domine ele* sobre os peixes do mar, sobre as aves do céu, sobre os grandes animais de toda a terra* e sobre todos os pequenos animais que se movem rente ao chão”.27Criou Deus o homem à sua imagem, à imagem de Deus o criou; homem e mulher* os criou.28Deus os abençoou e lhes disse: “Sejam férteis e multipliquem-se! Encham e subjuguem a terra! Dominem sobre os peixes do mar, sobre as aves do céu e sobre todos os animais que se movem pela terra”.29Disse Deus: “Eis que dou a vocês todas as plantas que nascem em toda a terra e produzem sementes, e todas as árvores que dão frutos com sementes. Elas servirão de alimento para vocês.30E dou todos os vegetais como alimento a tudo o que tem em si fôlego de vida: a todos os grandes animais da terra*, a todas as aves do céu e a todas as criaturas que se movem rente ao chão”. E assim foi.31E Deus viu tudo o que havia feito, e tudo havia ficado muito bom. Passaram-se a tarde e a manhã; esse foi o sexto dia.

The Creation of the World
1In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.2The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.3And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.4And God saw that the light was good. And God separated the light from the darkness.5God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, the first day.6And God said, “Let there be an expanse* in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters.”7And God made* the expanse and separated the waters that were under the expanse from the waters that were above the expanse. And it was so.8And God called the expanse Heaven.* And there was evening and there was morning, the second day.9And God said, “Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear.” And it was so.10God called the dry land Earth,* and the waters that were gathered together he called Seas. And God saw that it was good.11And God said, “Let the earth sprout vegetation, plants* yielding seed, and fruit trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind, on the earth.” And it was so.12The earth brought forth vegetation, plants yielding seed according to their own kinds, and trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.13And there was evening and there was morning, the third day.14And God said, “Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night. And let them be for signs and for seasons,* and for days and years,15and let them be lights in the expanse of the heavens to give light upon the earth.” And it was so.16And God made the two great lights—the greater light to rule the day and the lesser light to rule the night—and the stars.17And God set them in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth,18to rule over the day and over the night, and to separate the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good.19And there was evening and there was morning, the fourth day.20And God said, “Let the waters swarm with swarms of living creatures, and let birds* fly above the earth across the expanse of the heavens.”21So God created the great sea creatures and every living creature that moves, with which the waters swarm, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.22And God blessed them, saying, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth.”23And there was evening and there was morning, the fifth day.24And God said, “Let the earth bring forth living creatures according to their kinds—livestock and creeping things and beasts of the earth according to their kinds.” And it was so.25And God made the beasts of the earth according to their kinds and the livestock according to their kinds, and everything that creeps on the ground according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.26Then 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 livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”27So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.28And 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 birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”29And God said, “Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit. You shall have them for food.30And to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the heavens and to everything that creeps on the earth, everything that has the breath of life, I have given every green plant for food.” And it was so.31And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.
