創世記 3
1 在上主天主所造的一切野獸中，蛇是最狡猾的。蛇對女人說：「天主真說了，你們不可吃樂園中任何樹上的果子嗎﹖」
And the serpent hath been subtile above every beast of the field which Jehovah God hath made, and he saith unto the woman, 'Is it true that God hath said, Ye do not eat of every tree of the garden?'
2 女人對蛇說：「樂園中樹上的果子，我們都可吃；
And the woman saith unto the serpent, 'Of the fruit of the trees of the garden we do eat,
3 只有樂園中央那棵樹上的果子，天主說過，你們不可以吃，也不可摸，免得死亡。」
and of the fruit of the tree which [is] in the midst of the garden God hath said, Ye do not eat of it, nor touch it, lest ye die.'
4 蛇對女人說：「你們決不會死!
And the serpent saith unto the woman, 'Dying, ye do not die,
5 因為天主知道，你們那天吃了這果子，你們的眼就會開了，將如同天主一樣知道善惡。」
for God doth know that in the day of your eating of it — your eyes have been opened, and ye have been as God, knowing good and evil.'
6 女人看那棵果樹實在好吃好看，令人羨慕，且能增加智慧，遂摘下一個果子吃了，又給了她的男人一個，他也吃了。
And the woman seeth that the tree [is] good for food, and that it [is] pleasant to the eyes, and the tree is desirable to make [one] wise, and she taketh of its fruit and eateth, and giveth also to her husband with her, and he doth eat;
7 於是二人的眼立即開了，發覺自己赤身露體，遂用無花果樹葉，編了個裙子圍身。
and the eyes of them both are opened, and they know that they [are] naked, and they sew fig-leaves, and make to themselves girdles.
8 當亞當和他的妻子聽見了上主天主趁晚涼在樂園中散步的聲音，就躲藏在樂園的樹林中，怕見上主天主的面。
And they hear the sound of Jehovah God walking up and down in the garden at the breeze of the day, and the man and his wife hide themselves from the face of Jehovah God in the midst of the trees of the garden.
9 上主天主呼喚亞當對他說：「你在那裏﹖」
And Jehovah God calleth unto the man, and saith to him, 'Where [art] thou?'
10 他答說：「我在樂園中聽到了你的聲音，就害怕起來，因為我赤身露體，遂躲藏了。」
and he saith, 'Thy sound I have heard in the garden, and I am afraid, for I am naked, and I hide myself.'
11 天主說：「誰告訴了你，赤身露體﹖莫非你吃了我禁止你吃的果子﹖」
And He saith, 'Who hath declared to thee that thou [art] naked? of the tree of which I have commanded thee not to eat, hast thou eaten?'
12 亞當說：「是你給作伴的那個女人給了我那樹上的果子，我才吃了。」
and the man saith, 'The woman whom Thou didst place with me — she hath given to me of the tree — and I do eat.'
13 上主天主遂對女人說：「你為什麼作了這事﹖」女人答說：「是蛇哄騙了我，我才吃了。」
And Jehovah God saith to the woman, 'What [is] this thou hast done?' and the woman saith, 'The serpent hath caused me to forget — and I do eat.'
14 上主天主對蛇說：「因你做了這事，你在一切畜牲和野獸中，是可咒罵的；你要用肚子爬行，畢生日日吃土。
And Jehovah God saith unto the serpent, 'Because thou hast done this, cursed [art] thou above all the cattle, and above every beast of the field: on thy belly dost thou go, and dust thou dost eat, all days of thy life;
15 我要把仇恨放在你和女人，你的後裔和她的後裔之間，她的後裔要踏碎你的頭顱，你要傷害他的腳跟。」
and enmity I put between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; he doth bruise thee — the head, and thou dost bruise him — the heel.'
16 後對女人說：「我要增加你懷孕的苦楚，在痛苦中生子；你要依戀你的丈夫，也要受他的管轄。」
Unto the woman He said, 'Multiplying I multiply thy sorrow and thy conception, in sorrow dost thou bear children, and toward thy husband [is] thy desire, and he doth rule over thee.'
17 後對亞當說：「因為你聽了你妻子的話，吃了我禁止你吃的果子，為了你的緣故，地成了可咒罵的；你一生日日勞苦才能得到吃食。
And to the man He said, 'Because thou hast hearkened to the voice of thy wife, and dost eat of the tree concerning which I have charged thee, saying, Thou dost not eat of it, cursed [is] the ground on thine account; in sorrow thou dost eat of it all days of thy life,
18 地要給你生出荊棘和蒺蔾，你要吃田間的蔬菜；
and thorn and bramble it doth bring forth to thee, and thou hast eaten the herb of the field;
19 你必須汗流滿面，才有飯吃，直到你歸於土中，因為你是由土來的；你既是灰土，你還要歸於灰土。」
by the sweat of thy face thou dost eat bread till thy return unto the ground, for out of it hast thou been taken, for dust thou [art], and unto dust thou turnest back.'
20 亞當給自己的妻子起名叫厄娃，因為她是眾生的母親。
And the man calleth his wife's name Eve: for she hath been mother of all living.
21 上主天主為亞當和他的妻子做了件皮衣，給他們穿上；
And Jehovah God doth make to the man and to his wife coats of skin, and doth clothe them.
22 然後上主天主說：「看，人已相似我們中的一個，知道了善惡；如今不要讓他伸手再摘取生命樹上的果子，吃了活到永遠。」
And Jehovah God saith, 'Lo, the man was as one of Us, as to the knowledge of good and evil; and now, lest he send forth his hand, and have taken also of the tree of life, and eaten, and lived to the age,' —
23 上主天主遂把他趕出伊甸樂園，叫他耕種他所由出的土地。
Jehovah God sendeth him forth from the garden of Eden to serve the ground from which he hath been taken;
24 天主將亞當逐出了以後，就在伊甸樂園的東面，派了「革魯賓」和刀光四射的火劍，防守到生命樹去的路。
yea, he casteth out the man, and causeth to dwell at the east of the garden of Eden the cherubs and the flame of the sword which is turning itself round to guard the way of the tree of life.
