尾声

最后,神将世界赐予人。人拥有整个世界,只有一个园子是神的。
神说,
这是我的园子,汝等不可进入。
有一个叫尘的男人,和一个叫气的女人。他们到园子里来。
二人带来一棵果子。这果子是人所有的。他们来到园子门前。有蛇用发火焰的剑守住东门,男人把果子给女人,女人把果子给蛇。
蛇取了果子,放在园子当中的那棵树上。
尘和气就知道他们穿了衣服,于是一一脱去衣物,赤裸身体。神在园中行走,看见他们。二人已不能分别善恶,却很满足。神看着是好的。
神打开门,把园子赐给人。蛇生出四条健壮的腿,就站起来骄傲地走开去。它去了哪里只有神知道。
后来,园子里只余沉默。男人从另一个活物那里取回名字时才偶有动静。
张秋早   译

IN THE END

In the end,the Lord gave Mankind the world.All the world was Man's,save for[i] one garden.This is my garden,
said the Lord,and here you shall not enter.
There was a man and a woman who came to the garden,and their names were Earth and Breath.
They had with them a small fruit which the Man carried,and when they arrived at the gate to the garden,the Man gave the fruit to the Woman,and the Woman gave the fruit to the Serpent with flaming sword who guarded the Eastern Gate.
And the Serpent took the fruit and placed it upon a tree in the center of the garden.
Then Earth and Breath knew their clothedness,and removed their garments[1],one by one,until they were naked;and when the Lord walked through the garden he saw the man and the woman,who no longer knew good from evil,but were satisfied,and He saw it was good.
