创世记 3
1 耶和华 神所造的，惟有蛇比田野一切的活物更狡猾。蛇对女人说：“神岂是真说不许你们吃园中所有树上的果子吗？”
The serpent was more cunning than any of the other wild animals that the Lord God had made. He asked Eve, “Did God really say that you can't eat fruit from every tree in the garden?”
2 女人对蛇说：“园中树上的果子，我们可以吃，
Eve replied to the serpent, “We can eat from the trees in the garden, but not the fruit from the tree in the middle of the garden.
3 惟有园当中那棵树上的果子， 神曾说：‘你们不可吃，也不可摸，免得你们死。’”
God told us, ‘You mustn't eat from that tree, or even touch it, otherwise you'll die.’”
4 蛇对女人说：“你们不一定死；
“You certainly won't die,” the serpent told Eve.
5 因为 神知道，你们吃的日子眼睛就明亮了，你们便如 神能知道善恶。”
“It's because God knows that as soon as you eat it, you'll see things differently, and you'll be like God, knowing both what is good and what is evil.”
6 于是女人见那棵树的果子好作食物，也悦人的眼目，且是可喜爱的，能使人有智慧，就摘下果子来吃了，又给她丈夫，她丈夫也吃了。
Eve saw that the fruit of the tree appeared good to eat. It looked very attractive. She really wanted it so she could become wise. So she took some of its fruit and ate it, and she gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it too.
7 他们二人的眼睛就明亮了，才知道自己是赤身露体，便拿无花果树的叶子为自己编做裙子。
Immediately they saw everything differently and realized they were naked. So they sewed fig leaves together to cover themselves up.
8 天起了凉风，耶和华 神在园中行走。那人和他妻子听见 神的声音，就藏在园里的树木中，躲避耶和华 神的面。
Later they heard the Lord walking in the garden in the evening when the breeze was blowing. Adam and Eve went and hid out of sight of the Lord God among the trees of the garden.
9 耶和华 神呼唤那人，对他说：“你在哪里？”
The Lord God called out to Adam, “Where are you?”
10 他说：“我在园中听见你的声音，我就害怕；因为我赤身露体，我便藏了。”
“I heard you walking in the garden and I was afraid because I was naked, so I hid,” he replied.
11 耶和华说：“谁告诉你赤身露体呢？莫非你吃了我吩咐你不可吃的那树上的果子吗？”
“Who told you that you were naked?” asked the Lord God. “Did you eat fruit from the tree I ordered you not to?”
12 那人说：“你所赐给我、与我同居的女人，她把那树上的果子给我，我就吃了。”
“It was the woman you gave me who gave me the fruit from the tree, and I ate it,” Adam replied.
13 耶和华 神对女人说：“你做的是什么事呢？”女人说：“那蛇引诱我，我就吃了。”
The Lord God asked Eve, “Why have you done this?” “The serpent tricked me, and so I ate it,” she replied.
14 耶和华 神对蛇说： 你既做了这事，就必受咒诅， 比一切的牲畜野兽更甚； 你必用肚子行走， 终身吃土。
Then the Lord God told the serpent, “Because of what you've done, you are cursed more than any of the other animals. You will slide along on your belly and eat dust as long as you live.
15 我又要叫你和女人彼此为仇； 你的后裔和女人的后裔也彼此为仇。 女人的后裔要伤你的头； 你要伤他的脚跟。
I will make sure you and your children, and the woman and her children, are enemies. One of her children will crush your head, and you will strike his heel.”
16 又对女人说： 我必多多加增你怀胎的苦楚； 你生产儿女必多受苦楚。 你必恋慕你丈夫； 你丈夫必管辖你。
He told Eve, “I will make pregnancy much more difficult, and giving birth will be very painful. However, you will still desire your husband, but he will have control over you.”
17 又对亚当说： 你既听从妻子的话， 吃了我所吩咐你不可吃的那树上的果子， 地必为你的缘故受咒诅； 你必终身劳苦才能从地里得吃的。
He told Adam, “Because you did what your wife told you, and ate fruit from the tree after I ordered you, ‘Don't eat fruit from this tree,’ the ground is now cursed because of you. You will have to work painfully hard to grow food from it throughout your whole life.
18 地必给你长出荆棘和蒺藜来； 你也要吃田间的菜蔬。
It will grow thorns and thistles for you, and you will have to eat wild plants.
19 你必汗流满面才得糊口， 直到你归了土， 因为你是从土而出的。 你本是尘土，仍要归于尘土。
You will have to sweat to grow enough food to eat until you die and return to the ground. For you were made from dust and you will return to dust.”
20 亚当给他妻子起名叫夏娃，因为她是众生之母。
Adam named his wife Eve, because she was to be the mother of all human beings.
21 耶和华 神为亚当和他妻子用皮子做衣服给他们穿。
The Lord God made Adam and Eve clothes from animal skins and dressed them.
22 耶和华 神说：“那人已经与我们相似，能知道善恶；现在恐怕他伸手又摘生命树的果子吃，就永远活着。”
Then the Lord God observed, “Look, the human beings have become like one of us, knowing both what is good and what is evil. Now if they take the fruit from the tree of life and eat it, then they'll live forever!”
23 耶和华 神便打发他出伊甸园去，耕种他所自出之土。
So the Lord God expelled them from the Garden of Eden. He sent Adam to cultivate the ground from which he'd been made.
24 于是把他赶出去了；又在伊甸园的东边安设基路伯和四面转动发火焰的剑，要把守生命树的道路。
After he drove them out, the Lord God placed on the east side of the Garden of Eden angels and a sword that flashed in every direction. They were to prevent access to the tree of life.
