Gênesis 8
Portuguese New Testament: Easy-to-Read Version
O fim do dilúvio
8 Mas Deus não se esqueceu de Noé e de todos os animais selvagens e domésticos que estavam com ele na barca. Deus fez soprar um vento sobre a terra, e as águas começaram a baixar. 2 As fontes da terra e as janelas do céu fecharam-se e parou de chover. 3 Pouco a pouco as águas começaram a baixar. Ao fim dos cento e cinquenta dias, as águas já tinham diminuído 4 e, no dia dezessete do sétimo mês, a barca parou numa das montanhas do Ararate[a]. 5 As águas continuaram baixando até o décimo mês. No primeiro dia desse mês apareceram os topos das montanhas.
6 Após quarenta dias mais, Noé abriu a janela que tinha feito na barca 7 e soltou um corvo. O corvo ficou voando de um lado para o outro até as águas sobre a terra terem secado. 8 Noé também soltou uma pomba para ver se as águas já tinham diminuído na superfície da terra. 9 Mas a pomba não encontrou lugar onde descansar porque as águas ainda cobriam toda a terra. A pomba então voltou para junto de Noé, na barca. Noé estendeu a mão, apanhou a pomba e trouxe-a de volta para dentro da barca. 10 Esperou mais sete dias e voltou a soltar a pomba. 11 Quando a pomba regressou de tarde, trazia no bico uma folha nova de oliveira. Então Noé ficou sabendo que as águas já tinham baixado bastante. 12 Esperou mais sete dias e voltou a soltar a pomba, e ela não voltou mais.
13 Quando Noé completou 601 anos de idade, no primeiro dia do primeiro mês, a superfície da terra foi ficando cada vez mais seca. E Noé abriu a porta[b] da barca e viu que a terra estava quase seca. 14 No dia vinte e sete do segundo mês, a terra ficou completamente seca. 15 Então Deus disse a Noé:
16 —Podem sair da barca, você e a sua esposa, os seus filhos e as suas noras. 17 Faça também sair da barca todos os seres vivos que estão com você, as aves, os animais e toda criatura que rasteja pelo chão. Que saiam e sejam férteis, aumentem em número e encham a terra.
18 Então Noé saiu da barca com os seus filhos, a sua esposa e as suas noras. 19 Todos os animais domésticos e selvagens, todos os que rastejam pelo chão e todas as aves, saíram da barca, um casal de cada vez.
20 Então Noé fez um altar para o SENHOR e ali sacrificou alguns animais puros e algumas aves puras[c], queimando-as completamente no altar. 21 O SENHOR sentiu o aroma agradável dos sacrifícios e disse a si mesmo: “Nunca mais voltarei a amaldiçoar a terra por causa da maldade do ser humano. Os seus pensamentos são maus desde a sua juventude. E nunca mais voltarei a destruir todos os seres vivos, como fiz desta vez.
22 “Enquanto o mundo existir, sempre haverá:
um tempo para lançar sementes na terra
e um tempo para a colheita,
um tempo que fará frio
e um tempo que fará calor,
um tempo que será verão
e um tempo que será inverno,
um tempo que será dia
e um tempo que será noite”.
Genesis 8
English Standard Version
The Flood Subsides
8 But God (A)remembered Noah and all the beasts and all the livestock that were with him in the ark. And (B)God made a wind blow over the earth, and the waters subsided. 2 (C)The fountains of the deep and (D)the windows of the heavens were closed, the rain from the heavens was restrained, 3 and the waters receded from the earth continually. At the end (E)of 150 days the waters had abated, 4 and in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, the ark came to rest on the mountains of (F)Ararat. 5 And the waters continued to abate until the tenth month; in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, the tops of the mountains were seen.
6 At the end of forty days Noah opened the window of the ark that he had made 7 and sent forth a raven. It went to and fro until the waters were dried up from the earth. 8 Then he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters had subsided from the face of the ground. 9 But the dove found no place to set her foot, and she returned to him to the ark, for the waters were still on the face of the whole earth. So he put out his hand and took her and brought her into the ark with him. 10 He waited another seven days, and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark. 11 And the dove came back to him in the evening, and behold, in her mouth was a freshly plucked olive leaf. So Noah knew that the waters had subsided from the earth. 12 Then he waited another seven days and sent forth the dove, and she did not return to him anymore.
13 In the six hundred and first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried from off the earth. And Noah removed the covering of the ark and looked, and behold, the face of the ground was dry. 14 In the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth had dried out. 15 Then God said to Noah, 16 “Go out from the ark, (G)you and your wife, and your sons and your sons' wives with you. 17 Bring out with you every living thing that is with you of all flesh—birds and animals and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth—that they may swarm on the earth, and (H)be fruitful and multiply on the earth.” 18 So Noah went out, and his sons and his wife and his sons' wives with him. 19 Every beast, every creeping thing, and every bird, everything that moves on the earth, went out by families from the ark.
God's Covenant with Noah
20 Then Noah built an altar to the Lord and took some of every clean animal and some of every clean bird and offered burnt offerings on the altar. 21 And when the Lord smelled (I)the pleasing aroma, the Lord said in his heart, “I will never again (J)curse[a] the ground because of man, for (K)the intention of man's heart is evil from his youth. (L)Neither will I ever again strike down every living creature as I have done. 22 (M)While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, (N)day and night, shall not cease.”

Genesis 8
New International Version
8 But God remembered(A) Noah and all the wild animals and the livestock that were with him in the ark, and he sent a wind over the earth,(B) and the waters receded. 2 Now the springs of the deep and the floodgates of the heavens(C) had been closed, and the rain(D) had stopped falling from the sky. 3 The water receded steadily from the earth. At the end of the hundred and fifty days(E) the water had gone down, 4 and on the seventeenth day of the seventh month(F) the ark came to rest on the mountains(G) of Ararat.(H) 5 The waters continued to recede until the tenth month, and on the first day of the tenth month the tops of the mountains became visible.
6 After forty days(I) Noah opened a window he had made in the ark 7 and sent out a raven,(J) and it kept flying back and forth until the water had dried up from the earth.(K) 8 Then he sent out a dove(L) to see if the water had receded from the surface of the ground. 9 But the dove could find nowhere to perch because there was water over all the surface of the earth; so it returned to Noah in the ark. He reached out his hand and took the dove and brought it back to himself in the ark. 10 He waited seven more days and again sent out the dove from the ark. 11 When the dove returned to him in the evening, there in its beak was a freshly plucked olive leaf! Then Noah knew that the water had receded from the earth.(M) 12 He waited seven more days and sent the dove out again, but this time it did not return to him.
13 By the first day of the first month of Noah’s six hundred and first year,(N) the water had dried up from the earth. Noah then removed the covering from the ark and saw that the surface of the ground was dry. 14 By the twenty-seventh day of the second month(O) the earth was completely dry.
15 Then God said to Noah, 16 “Come out of the ark, you and your wife and your sons and their wives.(P) 17 Bring out every kind of living creature that is with you—the birds, the animals, and all the creatures that move along the ground—so they can multiply on the earth and be fruitful and increase in number on it.”(Q)
18 So Noah came out, together with his sons and his wife and his sons’ wives.(R) 19 All the animals and all the creatures that move along the ground and all the birds—everything that moves on land—came out of the ark, one kind after another.
20 Then Noah built an altar to the Lord(S) and, taking some of all the clean animals and clean(T) birds, he sacrificed burnt offerings(U) on it. 21 The Lord smelled the pleasing aroma(V) and said in his heart: “Never again will I curse the ground(W) because of humans, even though[a] every inclination of the human heart is evil from childhood.(X) And never again will I destroy(Y) all living creatures,(Z) as I have done.
