Scene 1 · Intermediate

Gud former Adam av støv

God forms Adam from dust

Slik ble himmelen og jorden til da Gud skapte dem. Det vokste ennå ingenting på marken. Ingen planter hadde spirt, for Gud hadde ikke latt det regne, og det fantes ingen mennesker til å dyrke jorden. Men en tåke steg opp fra bakken og vannet hele jordoverflaten.

This is how the heavens and the earth came to be when God created them. Nothing was growing in the fields yet. No plants had sprouted, because God had not made it rain and there was no one to work the soil. But a mist rose from the ground and watered the whole surface of the earth.

Gud formet en mann, Adam, av støv fra jorden. Han blåste livspust inn i neseborene hans, og Adam ble et levende menneske.

God formed a man, Adam, from the dust of the ground. He breathed the breath of life into his nostrils, and Adam became a living human being.
