|
|
| The devil came to God. |
| 2 |
|
|
|
| God shoved him aside. |
| 3 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| God walks around again and thinks, I, he says, shoved him away for no good reason. |
| 4 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| The devil comes up again to him. |
| 5 |
|
|
|
|
|
| He came up to God. |
| 6 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Dear God, he says, what you are thinking I know. |
| 7 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| God went around, he's thinking again. |
| 8 |
|
|
|
|
| He turned to the devil. |
| 9 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| God says, how do you know my thoughts? |
| 10 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| (If) you truly know them, then speak. |
| 11 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| (When) you get up by day, you think, (when) you sleep by night, you think, you want to create man, (but) there is no black earth. |
| 12 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| God says, (if) you are really clever, (if) you are really a knower, then go (and) bring up a handful of black earth. |
| 13 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| The devil thinks, I'll go, I'll bring up a handful of black earth. |
| 14 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| The devil went, he brought up a handful of black earth to god. |
| 15 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| God took it, broke it into two parts, pressed the black earth through both hands. |
| 16 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Then he took his paper, drew a man, drew a woman. |
| 17 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| From one of his hands he let the black earth fall, a man arose, from the other hand he let (black earth) fall, a woman arose. |
| 18 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| The devil sits and watches, he thinks: he made a human being, how do I make (one)? |
| 19 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| The devil left God, he was angry at God. |
| 20 |
|
|
|
|
|
| He came down (and) stole black earth. |
| 21 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Then he presses and throws (it): a lizard arises, it scurries to the black earth made by God. |
| 22 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Then the devil took his paper, then he drew a woman, then he drew a man. |
| 23 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| He presses black earth again, what God did, he does. |
| 24 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| He broke it into two parts, he let it fall from one hand, a beetle arose, he let it fall from his other hand, a frog arose. |
| 25 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Then the devil was overcome by coughing, he thinks, I'll go up to God. |
| 26 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| He went to God and thinks, with what means can I get to the two humans? |
| 27 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| He went there to the two humans, a dog wanted to bite him. |
| 28 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Then the devil made cold, the dog began to freeze. |
| 29 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| The dog asks, I'm freezing, make it warm. |
| 30 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| The devil says, let me in close! |
| 31 |
|
|
|
|
| I'll dress you in fur. |
| 32 |
|
|
|
|
|
| The dog let him in close. |
| 33 |
|
|
|
|
| Then he dressed him in fur. |
| 34 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Then he took the two humans, spit them full with snot and then the devil fled. |
| 35 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| God went down to measure the black earth. |
| 36 |
|
|
|
|
| God came up. |
| 37 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| He looks at his humans, they've been spit full, they've been befouled. |
| 38 |
|
|
|
| God became angry. |
| 39 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| He turned their outer skin inwards, he turned their inner skin outwards. |
| 40 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| God says, so cough, so spit! |
| 41 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| So spit and cough your snot for the rest of your days! |
| 42 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| He says to the dog, live with your fur that the devil dressed you in. |
