Genesis 3
1 Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which Jehovah God had made. And he said to the woman, Yea, has God said, Ye shall not eat of any tree of the garden?
Og Slangen var træskere end alle vilde Dyr paa Marken, hvilke Gud Herren havde gjort; og den sagde til Kvinden: Mon Gud skulde have sagt: I maa ikke æde af hvert Træ i Haven?
2 And the woman said to the serpent, Of the fruit of the trees of the garden we may eat,
Da sagde Kvinden til Slangen: Vi maa æde af Havens Træers Frugt;
3 but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God has said, Ye shall not eat of it, nor shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
men om det Træs Frugt, som er midt i Haven, sagde Gud: Æder ikke deraf og rører ikke derved, at I ikke skulle dø.
4 And the serpent said to the woman, Ye shall not surely die.
Da sagde Slangen til Kvinden: I skulle ikke dø Døden;
5 For God knows that in the day ye eat of it, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
men Gud ved, at hvilken Dag I æde deraf, da skulle eders Øjne oplades, og I skulle blive ligesom Gud og kende godt og ondt.
6 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 wise, she took of the fruit of it, and ate. And she also gave to her husband with her, and he ate.
Og Kvinden saa, at Træet var godt at æde af, og at det var lysteligt at se til og et ønskeligt Træ til at faa Forstand af, og hun tog af dets Frugt og aad; og hun gav ogsaa sin Mand med sig, og han aad.
7 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked. And they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.
Da oplodes begges Øjne, og de kendte, at de vare nøgne, og de hæftede Figenblade sammen og gjorde sig Bælter.
8 And they heard the voice of Jehovah God walking in the garden in the cool of the day. And the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of Jehovah God amongst the trees of the garden.
Og de hørte Gud Herrens Røst, som gik i Haven, der Dagen blev sval; da skjulte Adam og hans Hustru sig for Gud Herrens Ansigt iblandt Træerne i Haven.
9 And Jehovah God called to the man, and said to him, Where are thou?
Og Gud Herren kaldte ad Adam og sagde til ham: Hvor er du?
10 And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked. And I hid myself.
Og han sagde: Jeg hørte din Røst i Haven og frygtede; thi jeg var nøgen, og jeg skjulte mig.
11 And he said, Who told thee that thou was naked? Have thou eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee that thou should not eat?
Og han sagde: Hvo gav dig til Kende, at du var nøgen? har du ædet af det Træ, om hvilket jeg bød dig, at du skulde ikke æde deraf?
12 And the man said, The woman whom thou gave to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I ate.
Og Adam sagde: Kvinden, som du gav til at være hos mig, hun gav mig af Træet, og jeg aad.
13 And Jehovah God said to the woman, What is this thou have done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I ate.
Da sagde Gud Herren til Kvinden: Hvi har du gjort dette? Og Kvinden sagde: Slangen forførte mig, og jeg aad.
14 And Jehovah God said to the serpent, Because thou have done this, cursed are thou above all cattle, and above every beast of the field. Upon thy belly thou shall go, and dust thou shall eat all the days of thy life.
Da sagde Gud Herren til Slangen: Efterdi du gjorde dette, da vær forbandet fremfor alt Kvæget og fremfor alle vilde Dyr paa Marken; du skal gaa paa din Bug og æde Støv alle dit Livs Dage.
15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed. He shall bruise thy head, and thou shall bruise his heel.
Og jeg vil sætte Fjendskab imellem dig og imellem Kvinden og imellem din Sæd og imellem hendes Sæd; den skal sønderknuse dit Hoved, men du skal sønderknuse hans Hæl.
16 To the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy pain and thy childbearing, in pain thou shall bring forth children. And thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.
Til Kvinden sagde han: Jeg vil meget mangfoldiggøre din Kummer og din Undfangelse, med Smerte skal du føde Børn; og din Attraa skal være til din Mand, men han skal herske over dig.
17 And to Adam he said, Because thou have hearkened to the voice of thy wife, and have eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shall not eat of it, cursed is the ground for thy sake. In toil thou shall eat of it all the days of thy life.
Og til Adam sagde han: Efterdi du lød din Hustrus Røst og aad af det Træ, om hvilket jeg bød dig og sagde: Du skal ikke æde deraf, da være Jorden forbandet for din Skyld, med Kummer skal du æde deraf alle dit Livs Dage.
18 Also, thorns and thistles it shall bring forth to thee, and thou shall eat the herb of the field.
Og den skal bære dig Torn og Tidsel, og du skal æde Urter paa Marken.
19 In the sweat of thy face thou shall eat bread, till thou return to the ground, for out of it thou were taken. For thou are dust, and to dust thou shall return.
I dit Ansigts Sved skal du æde dit Brød, indtil du bliver til Jord igen, thi deraf er du tagen; thi du er Støv, og du skal blive til Støv igen.
20 And the man called his wife's name Eve, because she was the mother of all living.
Og Adam kaldte sin Hustrus Navn Eva, thi hun er bleven alle levendes Moder.
21 And Jehovah God made for Adam and for his wife coats of skins, and clothed them.
Og Gud Herren gjorde Adam og hans Hustru Kjortler af Skind og iførte dem.
22 And Jehovah God said, Behold, the man has 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 forever-
Og Gud Herren sagde: Se, Adam er bleven som en af os til at kende godt og ondt; men nu, paa det han ikke skal udrække sin Haand og tage ogsaa af Livsens Træ og æde og leve evindeligen:
23 therefore Jehovah God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from where he was taken.
da forviste Gud Herren ham af Edens Have til at dyrke Jorden, som han var tagen af.
24 So he drove out the man. And he placed at the east of the garden of Eden the cherubim, and the flame of a sword which turned every way, to guard the way of the tree of life.
Og han drev Mennesket ud og satte Keruber Østen for Edens Have med et blinkende Sværd, som vendte sig hid og did, til at vogte Vejen til Livsens Træ.
