1 Adão e Eva 66

1Quando foi pela manhã, no dia seguinte após terem comido do alimento, oraram Adão e Eva na caverna; e disse Adão a Eva: "Eis que pedimos a Deus alimento, e Ele o deu. Mas agora peçamos-Lhe também que nos dê água a beber."

1When it was morning, the day after they had eaten food, Adam and Eve prayed in the cave, and Adam said to Eve, "Look, we asked for food of God, and He gave it. But now let us also ask Him to give us a drink of water."

2Então se levantaram e foram à margem da torrente de água que estava no limite sul do jardim, na qual dantes se haviam lançado. E puseram-se em pé na margem, e rogaram a Deus que lhes mandasse beber daquela água.

2Then they got up, and went to the bank of the stream of water, that was on the south border of the garden, in which they had before thrown themselves. And they stood on the bank, and prayed to God that He would command them to drink of the water.

3Então veio a Palavra de Deus a Adão e disse-lhe: "Ó Adão, o teu corpo tornou-se embrutecido e necessita de água para beber. Tomai e bebei, tu e Eva; dai graças e rendei louvor."

3Then the Word of God came to Adam, and said to him, "O Adam, your body has become brutish, and requires water to drink. Take some and drink it, you and Eve, then give thanks and praise."

4Desceram então Adão e Eva à torrente e dela beberam, até que os seus corpos se sentiram refrigerados. Havendo bebido, louvaram a Deus e depois regressaram à sua caverna, segundo o seu antigo costume. Isto sucedeu ao cabo de oitenta e três dias.

4Adam and Eve then went down to the stream and drank from it, until their bodies felt refreshed. After having drunk, they praised God, and then returned to their cave, after their former custom. This happened at the end of eighty-three days.

5No octogésimo quarto dia, tomaram os dois figos e penduraram-nos na caverna, juntamente com as suas folhas, para lhes ser por sinal e bênção de Deus. E ali os puseram para que, se a sua posteridade ali chegasse, visse as maravilhas que Deus lhes havia feito.

5Then on the eighty-fourth day, they took the two figs and hung them in the cave, together with the leaves thereof, to be to them a sign and a blessing from God. And they placed them there so that if their descendants came there, they would see the wonderful things God had done for them.

6Depois Adão e Eva se puseram de novo fora da caverna e suplicaram a Deus que lhes mostrasse algum alimento com que pudessem nutrir os seus corpos.

6Then Adam and Eve again stood outside the cave, and asked God to show them some food with which they could nourish their bodies.

7Então veio a Palavra de Deus e disse-lhe: "Ó Adão, desce para o ocidente da caverna até chegares a uma terra de solo escuro, e ali acharás mantimento."

7Then the Word of God came and said to him, "O Adam, go down to the westward of the cave until you come to a land of dark soil, and there you shall find food."

8E Adão obedeceu à Palavra de Deus, tomou a Eva e desceu à terra de solo escuro; e achou ali trigo que crescia na espiga e estava maduro, e figos para comer; e Adão grandemente se regozijou com isso.

8And Adam obeyed the Word of God, took Eve, and went down to a land of dark soil, and found there wheat growing in the ear and ripe, and figs to eat; and Adam rejoiced over it.

9Veio então a Palavra de Deus outra vez a Adão e disse-lhe: "Toma deste trigo e faze para vós pão com ele, para com ele sustentares o teu corpo." E Deus deu sabedoria ao coração de Adão para trabalhar o grão até que se tornasse em pão.

9Then the Word of God came again to Adam, and said to him, "Take some of this wheat and make yourselves some bread with it, to nourish your body therewith." And God gave Adam's heart wisdom, to work out the corn until it became bread.

10E Adão executou tudo aquilo até se cansar em extremo e desfalecer. Voltou então para a caverna, regozijando-se com o que aprendera acerca do que se faz com o trigo, até que é transformado em pão para o sustento do homem.

10Adam accomplished all that, until he grew very faint and weary. He then returned to the cave; rejoicing at what he had learned of what is done with wheat, until it is made into bread for one's use.
