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 animal of the field which the LORD God had made. He said to the woman, “Has God really said, ‘You shall not eat of any tree of the garden’?”
2 Žena odgovori zmiji: “Plodove sa stabala u vrtu smijemo jesti.
The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat fruit from the trees of the garden,
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 not the fruit of the tree which is in the middle of the garden. God has said, ‘You shall not eat of it. You shall not touch it, lest you die.’”
4 Nato će zmija ženi: “Ne, nećete umrijeti!
The serpent said to the woman, “You won’t really 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 knows that in the day you eat it, your eyes will be opened, and you will be like 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.
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 some of its fruit, and ate. Then she gave some to her husband with her, and he ate it, too.
7 Tada se obadvoma otvore oči i upoznaju da su goli. Spletu smokova lišća i naprave sebi pregače.
Their eyes were opened, and they both knew that they were naked. They sewed fig leaves together, and made coverings for themselves.
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.
They heard the LORD God’s voice walking in the garden in 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.
The LORD God called to the man, and said to him, “Where are you?”
10 On odgovori: “Čuo sam tvoj korak po vrtu; pobojah se jer sam go, pa se sakrih.”
The man said, “I heard your voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; so 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?”
God said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?”
12 Čovjek odgovori: “Žena koju si stavio uza me - ona mi je dala sa stabla pa sam jeo.”
The man said, “The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me fruit from the tree, and I ate it.”
13 Jahve, Bog, reče ženi: “Što si to učinila?” “Zmija me prevarila pa sam jela”, odgovori žena.
The LORD God said to the woman, “What have you done?” The woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”
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!
The LORD God said to the serpent, “Because you have done this, you are cursed above all livestock, and above every animal of the field. You shall go on your belly and you shall eat dust all the days of your 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.”
I will put hostility between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring. He will bruise your head, and you will bruise his 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.”
To the woman he said, “I will greatly multiply your pain in childbirth. You will bear children in pain. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you.”
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!
To Adam he said, “Because you have listened to your wife’s voice, and have eaten from the tree, about which I commanded you, saying, ‘You shall not eat of it,’ the ground is cursed for your sake. You will eat from it with much labour all the days of your life.
18 Rađat će ti trnjem i korovom, a hranit ćeš se poljskim raslinjem.
It will yield thorns and thistles to you; and you will 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.”
You will eat bread by the sweat of your face until you return to the ground, for you were taken out of it. For you are dust, and you shall return to dust.”
20 Svojoj ženi čovjek nadjene ime Eva, jer je majka svima živima.
The man called his wife Eve because she would be the mother of all the living.
21 I načini Jahve, Bog, čovjeku i njegovoj ženi odjeću od krzna pa ih odjenu.
The LORD God made garments of animal skins for Adam and for his wife, 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!”
The LORD God said, “Behold, the man has become like one of us, knowing good and evil. Now, lest he reach out his hand, and also take of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever—”
23 Zato ga Jahve, Bog, istjera iz vrta edenskoga da obrađuje zemlju iz koje je i uzet.
Therefore the LORD God sent him out from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from which 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 cherubim at the east of the garden of Eden, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to guard the way to the tree of life.
