Genesis 3
1 Now the serpent was more crafty than any beast of the field that the LORD God had made. And he said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden?’”
在上主天主所造的一切野獸中，蛇是最狡猾的。蛇對女人說：「天主真說了，你們不可吃樂園中任何樹上的果子嗎﹖」
2 The woman answered the serpent, “We may eat the fruit of the trees of the garden,
女人對蛇說：「樂園中樹上的果子，我們都可吃；
3 but about the fruit of the tree in the middle of the garden, God has said, ‘You must not eat of it or touch it, or you will die.’”
只有樂園中央那棵樹上的果子，天主說過，你們不可以吃，也不可摸，免得死亡。」
4 “You will not surely die,” the serpent told her.
蛇對女人說：「你們決不會死!
5 “For God knows that in the day you eat of it, your eyes will be opened and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”
因為天主知道，你們那天吃了這果子，你們的眼就會開了，將如同天主一樣知道善惡。」
6 When the woman saw that the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eyes, and that it was desirable for obtaining wisdom, she took the fruit and ate it. She also gave some to her husband who was with her, and he ate it.
女人看那棵果樹實在好吃好看，令人羨慕，且能增加智慧，遂摘下一個果子吃了，又給了她的男人一個，他也吃了。
7 And the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked; so they sewed together fig leaves and made coverings for themselves.
於是二人的眼立即開了，發覺自己赤身露體，遂用無花果樹葉，編了個裙子圍身。
8 Then the man and his wife heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the breeze of the day, and they hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God among the trees of the garden.
當亞當和他的妻子聽見了上主天主趁晚涼在樂園中散步的聲音，就躲藏在樂園的樹林中，怕見上主天主的面。
9 But the LORD God called out to the man, “Where are you?”
上主天主呼喚亞當對他說：「你在那裏﹖」
10 “I heard Your voice in the garden,” he replied, “and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid myself.”
他答說：「我在樂園中聽到了你的聲音，就害怕起來，因為我赤身露體，遂躲藏了。」
11 “Who told you that you were naked?” asked the LORD God. “Have you eaten from the tree of which I commanded you not to eat?”
天主說：「誰告訴了你，赤身露體﹖莫非你吃了我禁止你吃的果子﹖」
12 And the man answered, “The woman whom You gave me, she gave me fruit from the tree, and I ate it.”
亞當說：「是你給作伴的那個女人給了我那樹上的果子，我才吃了。」
13 Then the LORD God said to the woman, “What is this you have done?” “The serpent deceived me,” she replied, “and I ate.”
上主天主遂對女人說：「你為什麼作了這事﹖」女人答說：「是蛇哄騙了我，我才吃了。」
14 So the LORD God said to the serpent: “Because you have done this, cursed are you above all livestock and every beast of the field! On your belly will you go, and dust you will eat, all the days of your life.
上主天主對蛇說：「因你做了這事，你在一切畜牲和野獸中，是可咒罵的；你要用肚子爬行，畢生日日吃土。
15 And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed. He will crush your head, and you will strike his heel.”
我要把仇恨放在你和女人，你的後裔和她的後裔之間，她的後裔要踏碎你的頭顱，你要傷害他的腳跟。」
16 To the woman He said: “I will sharply increase your pain in childbirth; in pain you will bring forth children. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you.”
後對女人說：「我要增加你懷孕的苦楚，在痛苦中生子；你要依戀你的丈夫，也要受他的管轄。」
17 And to Adam He said: “Because you have listened to the voice of your wife and have eaten from the tree of which I commanded you not to eat, cursed is the ground because of you; through toil you will eat of it all the days of your life.
後對亞當說：「因為你聽了你妻子的話，吃了我禁止你吃的果子，為了你的緣故，地成了可咒罵的；你一生日日勞苦才能得到吃食。
18 Both thorns and thistles it will yield for you, and you will eat the plants of the field.
地要給你生出荊棘和蒺蔾，你要吃田間的蔬菜；
19 By the sweat of your brow you will eat your bread, until you return to the ground— because out of it were you taken. For dust you are, and to dust you shall return.”
你必須汗流滿面，才有飯吃，直到你歸於土中，因為你是由土來的；你既是灰土，你還要歸於灰土。」
20 And Adam named his wife Eve, because she would be the mother of all the living.
亞當給自己的妻子起名叫厄娃，因為她是眾生的母親。
21 And the LORD God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife, and He clothed them.
上主天主為亞當和他的妻子做了件皮衣，給他們穿上；
22 Then the LORD God said, “Behold, the man has become like one of Us, knowing good and evil. And now, lest he reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life, and eat, and live forever...”
然後上主天主說：「看，人已相似我們中的一個，知道了善惡；如今不要讓他伸手再摘取生命樹上的果子，吃了活到永遠。」
23 Therefore the LORD God banished him from the Garden of Eden to work the ground from which he had been taken.
上主天主遂把他趕出伊甸樂園，叫他耕種他所由出的土地。
24 So He drove out the man and stationed cherubim on the east side of the Garden of Eden, along with a whirling sword of flame to guard the way to the tree of life.
天主將亞當逐出了以後，就在伊甸樂園的東面，派了「革魯賓」和刀光四射的火劍，防守到生命樹去的路。
