Gott formt Adam aus Staub
God forms Adam from dust
German
Diese Geschichte erzählt, wie Gott Himmel und Erde macht. Am Anfang wachsen noch keine Pflanzen auf den Feldern. Gott hat es noch nicht regnen lassen, und es gibt keinen Menschen, der auf dem Boden arbeiten kann. Aber Dunst steigt von der Erde auf und macht den ganzen Boden feucht.
English translation
This story tells how God made heaven and earth. At first, no plants were growing in the fields. God had not yet sent rain, and there was no one to work the ground. But mist rose from the earth and made all the ground damp.
German
Gott formt aus dem Staub des Bodens einen Menschen: Adam. Er bläst ihm den Atem des Lebens in die Nase. So wird Adam lebendig.
English translation
