< Битие 3 >
1 А змията беше най-хитра от всички полски зверове, които Господ Бог беше създал. И тя рече на жената: Истина ли каза Бог да не ядете от всяко дърво в градината?
The snake was more cunning than all the other wild animals that Yahweh God had made. [One day Satan gave to] the snake [the ability to talk to the woman]. The snake said to her, “Did God really say to you, ‘Do not eat the fruit from any of the trees in the park/garden’?”
2 Жената рече на змията: От плода на градинските дървета можем да ядем;
The woman replied, “[What God said was], ‘Do not eat the fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the park/garden or touch it. If you do that, you will die. But you can eat fruit from any of the other trees.’”
3 но от плода на дървото, което е всред градината, Бог каза: Да не ядете от него, нито да се допрете до него, за да не умрете.
4 А змията рече на жената: Никак няма да умрете;
The snake said to the woman, “No, you will certainly not die. God said that
5 но знае Бог, че в деня, когато ядете от него, ще ви се отворят очите и ще бъдете, като Бога, да познавате доброто и злото.
[only] because he knows that when you eat fruit from that tree, [you will understand new things. It will be as though] your eyes are opened [MET], and you will know what is good [to do] and what is evil [to do], just as God does.”
6 И като видя жената, че дървото беше добро за храна, и че беше приятно за очите, дърво желателно, за да дава знание, взе от плода му та яде, даде и на мъжа си да яде с нея, та и той яде.
The woman saw that the fruit on that tree was good to eat, and it was very beautiful, and she desired it because [she thought] it would make her wise. So she picked some of the fruit and ate it. Then she gave some to her husband, and he ate it.
7 Тогава се отвориха очите и на двамата и те познаха, че бяха голи; и съшиха смокинови листа та си направиха препаски.
Immediately [it was as though] their eyes were opened, and they realized that they were naked, so they were ashamed. So they [picked] some fig leaves and fastened them together to make clothes for themselves.
8 И при вечерния ветрец чуха гласа на Господа Бога, като ходеше из градината; и човекът и жена му се скриха от лицето на Господа Бога между градинските дървета.
[Late that afternoon], when a cool breeze was blowing, they heard the sound/footsteps of Yahweh as he was walking in the park/garden. So the man and his wife hid themselves among the bushes in the park/garden, [so that Yahweh God would not see them].
9 Но Господ Бог повика човека и му рече: Где си?
But Yahweh God called to the man, saying to him, “Why are you [trying to hide from me]?”
10 А той рече: Чух гласа Ти в градината и уплаших се, защото съм гол; и се скрих.
The man replied, “I heard the sound of your [footsteps/walking] in the garden, and I was naked, so I was afraid and I hid myself.”
11 А Бог му рече: Кой ти каза, че си гол? Да не би да си ял от дървото, от което ти заповядах да не ядеш?
God said, “How did you find out you were naked [RHQ]? It must be because you ate some of the fruit [from the tree] that I told you, ‘Do not eat its fruit.’” [RHQ]
12 И човекът рече: Жената, която си ми дал за другарка, тя ми даде от дървото, та ядох.
The man said, “You gave me this woman to be with me. She is the one who gave me some of the fruit from that tree, and so I ate it.”
13 И Господ Бог рече на жената: Що е това, което си сторила? А жената рече: Змията ме подмами, та ядох.
Then Yahweh God said to the woman, “Why did you do such a thing?” The woman replied, “I ate some of the fruit because the snake deceived me.”
14 Тогава рече Господ Бог на змията: Понеже си сторила това, проклета да си измежду всеки вид добитък и измежду всички полски зверове; по корема си ще се влачиш, и пръст ще ядеш през всичките дни на живота си.
Then Yahweh God said to the snake, “Because you did this, of all the livestock and the wild animals, I will curse/punish you alone. As a result, you [and all other snakes] will scurry across the ground on your bellies, and so what you eat will have dirt [on it] as long as you live.
15 Ще поставя и вражда между тебе и жената и между твоето потомство и нейното потомство; то ще ти нарани главата, а ти ще му нараниш петата.
And I will cause you and the woman to act in a hostile way toward each other, and I will cause your brood and her descendants to act hostilely toward each other. You will strike at the heel [of one descendant] of hers, but he will strike your head.”
16 На жената рече: Ще ти преумножа скръбта в бременността; със скръб ще раждаш чада; и на мъжа ти ще бъде подчинено всяко твое желание и той ще те владее.
Then Yahweh said to the woman, “You will have great pain when you give birth to children; you will suffer great pain as your children are being born [DOU]. You will greatly desire your husband [to show affection for you], but he will rule over you.”
17 А на човека рече: Понеже си послушал гласа на жена си и си ял от дървото, за което ти заповядах, като казах: Да не ядеш от него, то проклета да бъде земята поради тебе; със скръб ще се прехранваш от нея през всичките дни на живота си.
Then Yahweh said to the man, “You heeded what your wife said, and you ate some of the fruit [of the tree] concerning which I commanded you saying, ‘Do not eat it.’ So I will make it difficult [to grow things in] the ground because of what you did. You will have to work hard as long as you live to produce things from the ground to eat.
18 Тръни и бодли ще ти ражда; и ти ще ядеш полската трева.
Thornbushes and thistle plants and other weeds will grow [and prevent what you have planted from growing]. And for food, you will have to eat things that just grow in your fields.
19 С пот на лицето си ще ядеш хляб, докато се върнеш в земята, защото от нея си взет; понеже си пръст и в пръстта ще се върнеш.
[All your life] you will sweat as you work hard to produce food to eat. Then you will die [EUP], and your [body will be buried] in the ground. [I made] you from soil, so when you [die and are buried your body will decay] and become soil again.”
20 И човекът наименува жена си Ева, защото тя беше майка на всички живи.
[The man, whose name was] Adam, named his wife Eve, [which means ‘living’], because she became the ancestor of all living people.
21 И Господ Бог направи кожени дрехи на Адама и на жена му и ги облече.
Then Yahweh God [killed some animals and] made clothes from their skins for Adam and his wife.
22 И Господ Бог каза: Ето човекът стана като един от Нас, да познава доброто и злото; и сега за да не простре ръката си да вземе от дървото на живота, да яде и да живее вечно,
Then Yahweh said, “Look! Those two have become like us because they know what is good [to do] and what is evil [to do]. So now, it will not be good if they reach out and pick and eat [some of the fruit from] the tree [which enables people who eat it] to live [forever]!”
23 затова Господ Бог го изпъди от Едемската градина да обработва земята, от която бе взет.
So Yahweh God expelled the man and his wife from the garden of Eden. Yahweh God had created Adam from the ground, but now he forced him to till that ground [so that he could grow food to eat].
24 Така Той изпъди Адама; и постави на изток от Едемската градина херувимите и пламенния меч, който се въртеше, за да пазят пътя към дървото на живота.
After Yahweh expelled them, on the east side of the garden he placed (cherubim/creatures with wings) and [an angel holding] a flaming sword which flashed back and forth. He did that in order to block the entrance to the garden, so that people could not go back to the tree that enables people [who eat its fruit] to live [forever].
