< Postanak 3 >
1 Zmija bijaše lukavija od sve zvjeradi što je stvori Jahve, Bog. Ona reče ženi: “Zar vam je Bog rekao da ne smijete jesti ni s jednog drveta u vrtu?”
Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman: 'Yea, hath God said: Ye shall not eat of any tree of the garden?'
2 Žena odgovori zmiji: “Plodove sa stabala u vrtu smijemo jesti.
And the woman said unto the serpent: 'Of the fruit of the trees of the garden we may eat;
3 Samo za plod stabla što je nasred vrta rekao je Bog: 'Da ga niste jeli! I ne dirajte u nj, da ne umrete!'”
but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said: Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.'
4 Nato će zmija ženi: “Ne, nećete umrijeti!
And the serpent said unto the woman: 'Ye shall not surely die;
5 Nego, zna Bog: onog dana kad budete s njega jeli, otvorit će vam se oči, i vi ćete biti kao bogovi koji razlučuju dobro i zlo.”
for God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as God, knowing good and evil.'
6 Vidje žena da je stablo dobro za jelo, za oči zamamljivo, a za mudrost poželjno: ubere ploda njegova i pojede. Dade i svom mužu, koji bijaše s njom, pa je i on jeo.
And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat; and she gave also unto her husband with her, and he did eat.
7 Tada se obadvoma otvore oči i upoznaju da su goli. Spletu smokova lišća i naprave sebi pregače.
And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig-leaves together, and made themselves girdles.
8 Uto čuju korak Jahve, Boga, koji je šetao vrtom za dnevnog povjetarca. I sakriju se - čovjek i njegova žena - pred Jahvom, Bogom, među stabla u vrtu.
And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden toward the cool of the day; and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden.
9 Jahve, Bog, zovne čovjeka: “Gdje si?” - reče mu.
And the LORD God called unto the man, and said unto him: 'Where art thou?'
10 On odgovori: “Čuo sam tvoj korak po vrtu; pobojah se jer sam go, pa se sakrih.”
And he said: 'I heard Thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.'
11 Nato mu reče: “Tko ti kaza da si go? Ti si, dakle, jeo sa stabla s kojega sam ti zabranio jesti?”
And He said: 'Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?'
12 Čovjek odgovori: “Žena koju si stavio uza me - ona mi je dala sa stabla pa sam jeo.”
And the man said: 'The woman whom Thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.'
13 Jahve, Bog, reče ženi: “Što si to učinila?” “Zmija me prevarila pa sam jela”, odgovori žena.
And the LORD God said unto the woman: 'What is this thou hast done?' And the woman said: 'The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.'
14 Nato Jahve, Bog, reče zmiji: “Kad si to učinila, prokleta bila među svim životinjama i svom zvjeradi divljom! Po trbuhu svome puzat ćeš i zemlju jesti sveg života svog!
And the LORD God said unto the serpent: 'Because thou hast done this, cursed art thou from among all cattle, and from among all beasts of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life.
15 Neprijateljstvo ja zamećem između tebe i žene, između roda tvojeg i roda njezina: on će ti glavu satirati, a ti ćeš mu vrebati petu.”
And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; they shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise their heel.'
16 A ženi reče: “Trudnoći tvojoj muke ću umnožit, u mukama djecu ćeš rađati. Žudnja će te mužu tjerati, a on će gospodariti nad tobom.”
Unto the woman He said: 'I will greatly multiply thy pain and thy travail; in pain thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.'
17 A čovjeku reče: “Jer si poslušao glas svoje žene te jeo sa stabla s kojega sam ti zabranio jesti rekavši: S njega da nisi jeo! - evo: Zemlja neka je zbog tebe prokleta: s trudom ćeš se od nje hraniti svega vijeka svog!
And unto Adam He said: 'Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying: Thou shalt not eat of it; cursed is the ground for thy sake; in toil shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life.
18 Rađat će ti trnjem i korovom, a hranit ćeš se poljskim raslinjem.
Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field.
19 U znoju lica svoga kruh svoj ćeš jesti dokle se u zemlju ne vratiš: tÓa iz zemlje uzet si bio - prah si, u prah ćeš se i vratiti.”
In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken; for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.'
20 Svojoj ženi čovjek nadjene ime Eva, jer je majka svima živima.
And the man called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.
21 I načini Jahve, Bog, čovjeku i njegovoj ženi odjeću od krzna pa ih odjenu.
And the LORD God made for Adam and for his wife garments of skins, and clothed them.
22 Zatim reče Bog: “Evo, čovjek postade kao jedan od nas - znajući dobro i zlo! Da ne bi sada pružio ruku, ubrao sa stabla života pa pojeo i živio navijeke!”
And the LORD God said: 'Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil; and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever.'
23 Zato ga Jahve, Bog, istjera iz vrta edenskoga da obrađuje zemlju iz koje je i uzet.
Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.
24 Istjera, dakle, čovjeka i nastani ga istočno od vrta edenskog, pa postavi kerubine i plameni mač koji se svjetlucao - da straže nad stazom koja vodi k stablu života.
So He drove out the man; and He placed at the east of the garden of Eden the cherubim, and the flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way to the tree of life.
