1 Adão e Eva 36

1Então Deus ordenou ao querubim, que guardava a porta do jardim com uma espada de fogo na mão, que tomasse do fruto da figueira e o desse a Adão.

1Then God commanded the cherub, who kept the gate of the garden with a sword of fire in his hand, to take some of the fruit of the fig-tree, and to give it to Adam.

2O querubim obedeceu ao mandado do Senhor Deus, e entrou no jardim e trouxe dois figos em dois ramos, cada figo pendendo da sua folha; eram de duas das árvores entre as quais Adão e Eva se esconderam quando Deus passeava no jardim, e a Palavra de Deus veio a Adão e Eva e lhes disse: Adão, Adão, onde estás?

2The cherub obeyed the command of the Lord God, and went into the garden and brought two figs on two twigs, each fig hanging to its leaf; they were from two of the trees among which Adam and Eve hid themselves when God went to walk in the garden, and the Word of God came to Adam and Eve and said to them, "Adam, Adam, where are you?"

3E respondeu Adão: Ó Deus, eis-me aqui. Quando ouvi o Teu sonido e a Tua voz, escondi-me, porque estou nu.

3And Adam answered, "O God, here I am. When I heard the sound of You and Your voice, I hid myself, because I am naked."

4Tomou então o querubim dois figos e os levou a Adão e Eva. Mas lançou-os a eles de longe; porque não podiam aproximar-se do querubim por causa da carne deles, que não podia aproximar-se do fogo.

4Then the cherub took two figs and brought them to Adam and Eve. But he threw them to them from a distance; for they might not come near the cherub by reason of their flesh, that could not come near the fire.

5A princípio, os anjos tremiam diante da presença de Adão e temiam-no. Mas agora Adão tremia diante dos anjos e temia-os.

5At first, angels trembled at the presence of Adam and were afraid of him. But now Adam trembled before the angels and was afraid of them.

6Achegou-se então Adão e tomou um figo, e Eva também veio por sua vez e tomou o outro.

6Then Adam came closer and took one fig, and Eve also came in turn and took the other.

7E, levantando-os nas mãos, olharam para eles, e reconheceram que eram das árvores entre as quais se haviam escondido.

7And as they took them up in their hands, they looked at them, and knew they were from the trees among which they had hidden themselves.
