Ler em portuguêsCompare PT / EN

And God called Adam saying, "Adam, where art thou Can the house be hidden from the presence of its builder "Then your father answered; "It is not because we think not to be found by thee, Lord, that we hide, but I was afraid, because I am naked, and I was ashamed before thy might,

2(my) Master." God saith to him, "Who showed thee that thou art naked, unless thou hast forsaken my commandment, which I delivered thee to keep (it)." Then Adam called to mind the word which I spake to him, (saying) "I will make thee secure before God"; and he turned and said to me: "Why hast thou done this" And I said, "The serpent deceived me."
