創世記 3
1 耶和華上帝所造的，惟有蛇比田野一切的活物更狡猾。蛇對女人說：「上帝豈是真說不許你們吃園中所有樹上的果子嗎？」
Now the serpent was more subtle than any of the beasts of the earth which the Lord God had made. And he said to the woman: Why hath God commanded you, that you should not eat of every tree of paradise?
2 女人對蛇說：「園中樹上的果子，我們可以吃，
And the woman answered him, saying: Of the fruit of the trees that are in paradise we do eat:
3 惟有園當中那棵樹上的果子，上帝曾說：『你們不可吃，也不可摸，免得你們死。』」
But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of paradise, God hath commanded us that we should not eat; and that we should not touch it, lest perhaps we die.
4 蛇對女人說：「你們不一定死；
And the serpent said to the woman: No, you shall not die the death.
5 因為上帝知道，你們吃的日子眼睛就明亮了，你們便如上帝能知道善惡。」
For God doth know that in what day soever you shall eat thereof, your eyes shall be opened: and you shall be as Gods, knowing good and evil.
6 於是女人見那棵樹的果子好作食物，也悅人的眼目，且是可喜愛的，能使人有智慧，就摘下果子來吃了，又給她丈夫，她丈夫也吃了。
And the woman saw that the tree was good to eat, and fair to the eyes, and delightful to behold: and she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave to her husband who did eat.
7 他們二人的眼睛就明亮了，才知道自己是赤身露體，便拿無花果樹的葉子為自己編做裙子。
And the eyes of them both were opened: and when they perceived themselves to be naked, they sewed together fig leaves, and made themselves aprons.
8 天起了涼風，耶和華上帝在園中行走。那人和他妻子聽見上帝的聲音，就藏在園裏的樹木中，躲避耶和華上帝的面。
And when they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in paradise at the afternoon air, Adam and his wife hid themselves from the face of the Lord God, amidst the trees of paradise.
9 耶和華上帝呼喚那人，對他說：「你在哪裏？」
And the Lord God called Adam, and said to him: Where art thou?
10 他說：「我在園中聽見你的聲音，我就害怕；因為我赤身露體，我便藏了。」
And he said: I heard thy voice in paradise; and I was afraid, because I was naked, and I hid myself.
11 耶和華說：「誰告訴你赤身露體呢？莫非你吃了我吩咐你不可吃的那樹上的果子嗎？」
And he said to him: And who hath told thee that thou wast naked, but that thou hast eaten of the tree whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldst not eat?
12 那人說：「你所賜給我、與我同居的女人，她把那樹上的果子給我，我就吃了。」
And Adam said: The woman, whom thou gavest me to be my companion, gave me of the tree, and I did eat.
13 耶和華上帝對女人說：「你做的是甚麼事呢？」女人說：「那蛇引誘我，我就吃了。」
And the Lord God said to the woman: Why hast thou done this? And she answered: The serpent deceived me, and I did eat.
14 耶和華上帝對蛇說： 你既做了這事，就必受咒詛， 比一切的牲畜野獸更甚； 你必用肚子行走， 終身吃土。
And the Lord God said to the serpent: Because thou hast done this thing, thou art cursed among all cattle, and beasts of the earth: upon thy breast shalt thou go, and earth shalt thou eat all the days of thy life.
15 我又要叫你和女人彼此為仇； 你的後裔和女人的後裔也彼此為仇。 女人的後裔要傷你的頭； 你要傷他的腳跟。
I will put enmities between thee and the woman, and thy seed and her seed: she shall crush thy head, and thou shalt lie in wait for her heel.
16 又對女人說： 我必多多加增你懷胎的苦楚； 你生產兒女必多受苦楚。 你必戀慕你丈夫； 你丈夫必管轄你。
To the woman also he said: I will multiply thy sorrows, and thy conceptions: in sorrow shalt thou bring forth children, and thou shalt be under thy husband’s power, and he shall have dominion over thee.
17 又對亞當說： 你既聽從妻子的話， 吃了我所吩咐你不可吃的那樹上的果子， 地必為你的緣故受咒詛； 你必終身勞苦才能從地裏得吃的。
And to Adam he said: Because thou hast hearkened to the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldst not eat, cursed is the earth in thy work; with labour and toil shalt thou eat thereof all the days of thy life.
18 地必給你長出荊棘和蒺藜來； 你也要吃田間的菜蔬。
Thorns and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herbs of the earth.
19 你必汗流滿面才得糊口， 直到你歸了土， 因為你是從土而出的。 你本是塵土，仍要歸於塵土。
In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread till thou return to the earth, out of which thou wast taken: for dust thou art, and into dust thou shalt return.
20 亞當給他妻子起名叫夏娃，因為她是眾生之母。
And Adam called the name of his wife Eve: because she was the mother of all the living.
21 耶和華上帝為亞當和他妻子用皮子做衣服給他們穿。
And the Lord God made for Adam and his wife, garments of skins, and clothed them.
22 耶和華上帝說：「那人已經與我們相似，能知道善惡；現在恐怕他伸手又摘生命樹的果子吃，就永遠活着。」
And he said: Behold Adam is become as one of us, knowing good and evil: now, therefore, lest perhaps he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever.
23 耶和華上帝便打發他出伊甸園去，耕種他所自出之土。
And the Lord God sent him out of the paradise of pleasure, to till the earth from which he was taken.
24 於是把他趕出去了；又在伊甸園的東邊安設基路伯和四面轉動發火焰的劍，要把守生命樹的道路。
And he cast out Adam; and placed before the paradise of pleasure Cherubims, and a flaming sword, turning every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.
