1 Adão e Eva 62

1Mas Satanás, o maligno, encheu-se de inveja por causa da consolação que Deus lhes havia dado.

1But Satan the wicked was envious, because of the consolation God had given them.

2Por isso se antecipou a eles, e entrou na caverna e tomou os dois figos, e os enterrou do lado de fora da caverna, para que Adão e Eva não os achassem. Tinha também em seus pensamentos o intento de destruí-los.

2So he prevented them, and went into the cave and took the two figs, and buried them outside the cave, so that Adam and Eve should not find them. He also had in his thoughts to destroy them.

3Mas, pela misericórdia de Deus, tão logo aqueles dois figos foram postos na terra, frustrou Deus o intento de Satanás a respeito deles; e fê-los tornar-se duas árvores frutíferas, que sombreavam a caverna. Pois Satanás os havia enterrado do lado oriental dela.

3But by God's mercy, as soon as those two figs were in the ground, God defeated Satan's counsel regarding them; and made them into two fruit trees, that overshadowed the cave. For Satan had buried them on the eastern side of it.

4Quando as duas árvores cresceram e se cobriram de frutos, Satanás entristeceu-se e lamentou-se, dizendo: Melhor fora ter deixado aqueles figos onde estavam; pois agora, eis que se tornaram duas árvores frutíferas, das quais Adão comerá todos os dias de sua vida. Ao passo que eu tinha em mente, ao enterrá-los, destruí-los inteiramente e ocultá-los para sempre.

4Then when the two trees were grown, and were covered with fruit, Satan grieved and mourned, and said, "It would have been better to have left those figs where they were; for now, behold, they have become two fruit trees, whereof Adam will eat all the days of his life. Whereas I had in mind, when I buried them, to destroy them entirely, and to hide them forever.

5Mas Deus transtornou o meu intento; e não quis que este fruto sagrado perecesse; e manifestou a minha intenção, e desfez o conselho que eu havia maquinado contra os Seus servos.

5But God has overturned my counsel; and would not that this sacred fruit should perish; and He has made plain my intention, and has defeated the counsel I had formed against His servants."

6Retirou-se então Satanás envergonhado, porque não havia meditado até o fim os seus planos.

6Then Satan went away ashamed because he hadn't thought his plans all the way through.
