1. In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.
2. The earth was formless and empty; darkness was over the face 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. And God saw that the light was good; and he separated 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, the first day.
6. And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters.
7. And God made the firmament, and separated the waters that were under the firmament from the waters that were above the firmament. And it was so.
8. And God called the firmament Heaven. And there was evening and there was morning, the second day.
9. Then God said, “Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear.” And it was so.
10. God called the dry land Earth, and the waters that were gathered together, he called Seas. And God saw that it was good.
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.

Genesis 1 (NIV)
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.
