1No princípio Deus criou o céu e a Terra.2Esta era de início um caos e como uma massa amorfa, com o Espírito de Deus planando sobre os vapores que enchiam as trevas.3Então Deus disse: “Haja luz!” E a luz apareceu.4Deus viu que a luz era boa e demarcou o aparecimento da luz em relação à escuridão.5Ao tempo durante o qual a luz brilhou chamou dia e à escuridão chamou noite. Essa sequência formou o primeiro dia.6E Deus disse: “Que os vapores se separem, deixando que haja uma atmosfera acima da terra e águas na sua superfície!”7Foi assim que Deus formou o firmamento e separou as águas que estão na Terra das que se encontram na atmosfera.8E Deus chamou a este firmamento céu. Foi a tarde e veio a manhã, era o segundo dia.9E disse mais: “Que as águas à superfície da Terra se juntem, formando mares e oceanos, deixando aparecer a parte seca!” E assim foi.10A essa parte seca emergindo entre as águas chamou-lhe terra e às águas mar. E Deus viu que isso era bom.11Disse Deus: “Que a terra produza toda a espécie de vegetação! Plantas que deem sementes, árvores que produzam frutos, frutos que contenham em si mesmos as sementes de acordo com a espécie donde vêm.” E assim foi. E Deus viu que tudo isso era bom.13Estas coisas deram-se ao terceiro dia.14Deus 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.”15E assim aconteceu. Deus fez pois duas grandes fontes de luz: o Sol e a Lua para iluminarem a Terra. O Sol, maior, para dirigir o dia, e a Lua, mais pequena, para brilhar durante a noite. Deus fez também as estrelas. 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 viu que isso era bom.19Isto deu-se no quarto dia.20E 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 espécie!”21Foi 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 era bom.22E abençoou-os: “Multipliquem-se e encham os mares e as águas!” E aos pássaros e animais alados ordenou: “Que o vosso número aumente multiplicadamente, encham a Terra!”23E aconteceu isto no quinto dia.24Deus disse: “Que na terra apareça toda a qualidade de vida animal! Quadrúpedes, rastejantes, animais selvagens de toda a sorte, reproduzindo-se de acordo com a sua espécie.” E assim aconteceu.25Deus fez toda a qualidade de animais sobre a terra; cada um segundo a sua espécie. E viu que tudo quanto tinha feito era bom.26Disse mais Deus: “Façamos o homem, um ser semelhante a nós! Que ele domine sobre os peixes do mar e as aves do céu, sobre os animais domésticos e selvagens e sobre todas as criaturas que andam sobre a terra!”27Deus criou então o homem à sua imagem; assim à imagem de Deus o criou. Homem e mulher, assim os criou.28Deus abençoou-os e disse-lhes: “Multipliquem-se, encham a Terra, dominem-na e também toda a vida animal da terra, dos mares e dos ares!29Dou-vos todas as plantas que produzem sementes e toda a espécie de frutos para alimento.30A todos os animais dou igualmente como alimento a vida vegetal.” E foi assim que aconteceu.31Deus viu que tudo quanto tinha feito era muito bom. Assim, passou 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.
