1 Mosebog 3
1 Men Slangen var træskere end alle Markens andre Dyr, som Gud HERREN havde gjort og den sagde til Kvinden: »Mon Gud virkelig ham sagt: I maa ikke spise af noget Træ i Haven?«
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 Kvinden svarede: »Vi har Lov at spise af Frugten paa Havens Træer;
The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat fruit from the trees of the garden,
3 kun af Frugten fra Træet midt i Haven, sagde Gud, maa I ikke spise, ja, I maa ikke røre derved, thi saa skal I dø!«
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 Da sagde Slangen til Kvinden: »I skal ingenlunde dø;
The serpent said to the woman, “You won’t really die,
5 men Gud ved, at naar I spiser deraf, aabnes eders Øjne, saa I blive som Gud til at kende godt og ondt!«
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 Kvinden blev nu var, at Træet var godt at spise af, en Lyst for Øjnene og godt at faa Forstand af; og hun tog af dets Frugt og spiste og gav ogsaa sin Mand, der stod hos hende, og han spiste.
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 Da aabnedes begges Øjne, og de kendte, at de var nøgne. Derfor syede de Figenblade sammen og bandt dem om sig.
Their eyes were opened, and they both knew that they were naked. They sewed fig leaves together, and made coverings for themselves.
8 Da Dagen blev sval, hørte de Gud HERREN vandre i Haven, og Adam og hans Hustru skjulte sig for ham inde mellem Havens Træer.
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 Da kaldte Gud HERREN paa Adam og raabte: »Hvor er du?«
The LORD God called to the man, and said to him, “Where are you?”
10 Han svarede: »Jeg hørte dig i Haven og blev angst, fordi jeg var nøgen, og saa skjulte jeg mig!«
The man said, “I heard your voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; so I hid myself.”
11 Da sagde han: »Hvem fortalte dig, at du var nøgen. Mon du har spist af det Træ, jeg sagde, du ikke maatte spise af?«
God said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?”
12 Adam svarede: »Kvinden, som du satte ved min Side, gav mig af Træet, og saa spiste jeg.«
The man said, “The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me fruit from the tree, and I ate it.”
13 Da sagde Gud HERREN til Kvinde: »Hvad har du gjort!« Kvinden svarede: »Slangen forførte mig, og saa spiste jeg.«
The LORD God said to the woman, “What have you done?” The woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”
14 Da sagde Gud HERREN til Slangen: »Fordi du har gjort dette, være du forbandet blandt al Kvæget og blandt alle Markens Dyr! Paa din Bug skal du krybe, og Støv skal du æde alle dit Livs Dage!
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 Jeg sætter Fjendskab mellem dig og Kvinden, mellem din Sæd og hendes Sæd; den skal knuse dit Hoved, og du skal hugge den i Hælen!«
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 Til Kvinden sagde han: »Jeg vil meget mangfoldiggøre dit Svangerskabs Møje; med Smerte skal du føde Børn; men til din Mand skal din Attraa være, og han skal herske over dig!«
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 Og til Adam sagde han: »Fordi du lyttede til din Hustrus Tale og spiste af Træet, som jeg sagde, du ikke maatte spise af, skal Jorden være forbandet for din Skyld; med Møje skal du skaffe dig Føde af den alle dit Livs Dage;
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 Torn og Tidsel skal den bære dig, og Markens Urter skal være din Føde;
It will yield thorns and thistles to you; and you will eat the herb of the field.
19 i dit Ansigts Sved skal du spise dit Brød, indtil du vender tilbage til Jorden; thi af den er du taget; ja, Støv er du, og til Støv skal du vende tilbage!«
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 Men Adam kaldte sin Hustru Eva, thi hun blev Moder til alt levende.
The man called his wife Eve because she would be the mother of all the living.
21 Derpaa gjorde Gud HERREN Skindkjortler til Adam og hans Hustru og klædte dem dermed.
The LORD God made garments of animal skins for Adam and for his wife, and clothed them.
22 Men Gud HERREN sagde: »Se, Mennesket er blevet som en af os til at kende godt og ondt. Nu skal han ikke række Haanden ud og tage ogsaa af Livets Træ og spise og leve evindelig!«
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 Saa forviste Gud HERREN ham fra Edens Have, for at han skulde dyrke Jorden, som han var taget af;
Therefore the LORD God sent him out from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from which he was taken.
24 og han drev Mennesket ud, og østen for Edens Have satte han Keruberne med det glimtende Flammesværd til at vogte Vejen til Livets Træ.
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.
