Original text and translations

Latin.png Latin text

Dum deambularet dominus ad auram* post meridiem clamavit et dixit: Adam, ubi es?
Vocem tuam audivi in paradiso et timui et abscondi me eo quod nudus essem abscondi me.

  • The partbooks give the word as 'aurem', which also appears in the score, but ought ideally to be corrected.

As the Lord was walking in the cool of the day, he called ‘Adam, where are you?’
‘I heard your voice in paradise, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid.’
