1.9 KiB
Out of the Garden [02-12]
Then God said, “Now that the human beings have become like us by knowing good and evil, they must not be allowed to eat the fruit of the tree of life and live forever.” So God sent Adam and Eve away from the beautiful garden. God placed large, powerful angels at the entrance to the garden to keep anyone from eating the fruit of the tree of life.
神说:「那人已经与我们相似，知道了善恶；如今不可让他吃生命树上的果子而活到永远。」神遂把亚当和夏娃赶出美丽的乐园。
