1 Adão e Eva 33

1Mas Satanás, o aborrecedor de todo o bem, buscou-os na caverna, porém não os achou, embora os procurasse diligentemente.

1But Satan, the hater of all good, sought them in the cave, but found them not, although he searched diligently for them.

2Mas achou-os em pé dentro da água orando, e pensou consigo mesmo: Adão e Eva estão assim naquela água orando a Deus para que lhes perdoe a transgressão, e os restabeleça ao seu primeiro estado, e os livre do meu domínio.

2But he found them standing in the water praying and thought within himself, "Adam and Eve are standing like that in that water praying to God to forgive them their transgression, and to restore them to their former state, and to take them from under my hand.

3Contudo, eu os enganarei de tal sorte que saiam da água e não cumpram o seu voto.

3But I will deceive them so that they shall come out of the water, and not fulfil their vow."

4Foi então o aborrecedor de todo o bem, não a Adão, mas dirigiu-se a Eva, tomando a forma de um anjo de Deus, louvando e regozijando-se, e disse-lhe:

4Then the hater of all good, went not to Adam, but he went to Eve, and took the form of an angel of God, praising and rejoicing, and said to her:—

5Paz seja contigo! Alegra-te e regozija-te! Deus te é propício, e enviou-me a Adão. Trouxe-lhe as alegres novas de salvação, e de que será cheio da luz brilhante como era no princípio.

5"Peace be to you! Be glad and rejoice! God is favorable to you, and He sent me to Adam. I have brought him the glad tidings of salvation, and of his being filled with bright light as he was at first.

6E Adão, em sua alegria pela sua restauração, enviou-me a ti, para que venhas a mim, a fim de que eu te coroe de luz como a ele.

6And Adam, in his joy for his restoration, has sent me to you, that you come to me, in order that I crown you with light like him.

7E disse-me ele: 'Fala a Eva; se ela não vier contigo, dize-lhe o sinal de quando estávamos no cume do monte; como Deus enviou os Seus anjos que nos tomaram e trouxeram à Caverna dos Tesouros; e puseram o ouro no lado sul; o incenso, no lado oriental; e a mirra, no lado ocidental'. Vem agora ter com ele.

7And he said to me, 'Speak to Eve; if she does not come with you, tell her of the sign when we were on the top of the mountain; how God sent his angels who took us and brought us to the Cave of Treasures; and laid the gold on the southern side; incense, on the eastern side; and myrrh on the western side.' Now come to him."

8Ouvindo Eva dele estas palavras, alegrou-se sobremaneira. E, julgando que a aparição de Satanás fosse verdadeira, saiu do mar.

8When Eve hear these words from him, she rejoiced greatly. And thinking Satan's appearance was real, she came out of the sea.

9Ele ia adiante, e ela o seguia até que chegaram a Adão. Então Satanás se ocultou dela, e ela não o viu mais.

9He went before, and she followed him until they came to Adam. Then Satan hid himself from her, and she saw him no more.

10Chegou ela então e parou diante de Adão, o qual estava de pé junto à água, regozijando-se no perdão de Deus.

10She then came and stood before Adam, who was standing by the water and rejoicing in God's forgiveness.

11E, chamando por ele, Adão voltou-se, viu-a ali e chorou ao vê-la, e bateu no peito; e, pela amargura do seu sofrimento, afundou na água.

11And as she called to him, he turned around, found her there and cried when he saw her, and beat his chest; and from the bitterness of his grief, he sank into the water.

12Mas Deus olhou para ele e para a sua aflição, e vendo que estava a ponto de expirar, a Palavra de Deus veio do céu, levantou-o da água, e disse-lhe: Sobe pela margem alta até Eva. E, chegando ele junto a Eva, disse-lhe: Quem te disse para vires aqui?

12But God looked at him and at his misery, and at his being about to breathe his last. And the Word of God came from heaven, raised him out of the water, and said to him, "Go up the high bank to Eve." And when he came up to Eve he said to her, "Who told you to come here?"

13Contou-lhe ela então o discurso do anjo que lhe aparecera e lhe dera um sinal.

13Then she told him the discourse of the angel who had appeared to her and had given her a sign.

14Adão, porém, entristeceu-se e fez-lhe saber que era Satanás. Tomou-a então, e ambos voltaram para a caverna.

14But Adam grieved, and gave her to know it was Satan. He then took her and they both returned to the cave.

15Estas coisas lhes sucederam pela segunda vez em que desceram à água, sete dias após a sua saída do jardim.

15These things happened to them the second time they went down to the water, seven days after their coming out of the garden.

16Jejuaram na água trinta e cinco dias; ao todo quarenta e dois dias desde que haviam deixado o jardim.

16They fasted in the water thirty-five days; altogether forty-two days since they had left the garden.
