Genesis 3
1 Now the snake was wiser than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said to the woman, Has God truly said that you may not take of the fruit of any tree in the garden?
耶和华 神所造的，惟有蛇比田野一切的活物更狡猾。蛇对女人说：“神岂是真说不许你们吃园中所有树上的果子吗？”
2 And the woman said, We may take of the fruit of the trees in the garden:
女人对蛇说：“园中树上的果子，我们可以吃，
3 But of the fruit of the tree in the middle of the garden, God has said, If you take of it or put your hands on it, death will come to you.
惟有园当中那棵树上的果子， 神曾说：‘你们不可吃，也不可摸，免得你们死。’”
4 And the snake said, Death will not certainly come to you:
蛇对女人说：“你们不一定死；
5 For God sees that on the day when you take of its fruit, your eyes will be open, and you will be as gods, having knowledge of good and evil.
因为 神知道，你们吃的日子眼睛就明亮了，你们便如 神能知道善恶。”
6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and a delight to the eyes, and to be desired to make one wise, she took of its fruit, and gave it to her husband.
于是女人见那棵树的果子好作食物，也悦人的眼目，且是可喜爱的，能使人有智慧，就摘下果子来吃了，又给她丈夫，她丈夫也吃了。
7 And their eyes were open and they were conscious that they had no clothing and they made themselves coats of leaves stitched together.
他们二人的眼睛就明亮了，才知道自己是赤身露体，便拿无花果树的叶子为自己编做裙子。
8 And there came to them the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the evening wind: and the man and his wife went to a secret place among the trees of the garden, away from the eyes of the Lord God.
天起了凉风，耶和华 神在园中行走。那人和他妻子听见 神的声音，就藏在园里的树木中，躲避耶和华 神的面。
9 And the voice of the Lord God came to the man, saying, Where are you?
耶和华 神呼唤那人，对他说：“你在哪里？”
10 And he said, Hearing your voice in the garden I was full of fear, because I was without clothing: and I kept myself from your eyes.
他说：“我在园中听见你的声音，我就害怕；因为我赤身露体，我便藏了。”
11 And he said, Who gave you the knowledge that you were without clothing? Have you taken of the fruit of the tree which I said you were not to take?
耶和华说：“谁告诉你赤身露体呢？莫非你吃了我吩咐你不可吃的那树上的果子吗？”
12 And the man said, The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me the fruit of the tree and I took it.
那人说：“你所赐给我、与我同居的女人，她把那树上的果子给我，我就吃了。”
13 And the Lord God said to the woman, What have you done? And the woman said, I was tricked by the deceit of the snake and I took it.
耶和华 神对女人说：“你做的是什么事呢？”女人说：“那蛇引诱我，我就吃了。”
14 And the Lord God said to the snake, Because you have done this you are cursed more than all cattle and every beast of the field; you will go flat on the earth, and dust will be your food all the days of your life:
耶和华 神对蛇说： 你既做了这事，就必受咒诅， 比一切的牲畜野兽更甚； 你必用肚子行走， 终身吃土。
15 And there will be war between you and the woman and between your seed and her seed: by him will your head be crushed and by you his foot will be wounded.
我又要叫你和女人彼此为仇； 你的后裔和女人的后裔也彼此为仇。 女人的后裔要伤你的头； 你要伤他的脚跟。
16 To the woman he said, Great will be your pain in childbirth; in sorrow will your children come to birth; still your desire will be for your husband, but he will be your master.
又对女人说： 我必多多加增你怀胎的苦楚； 你生产儿女必多受苦楚。 你必恋慕你丈夫； 你丈夫必管辖你。
17 And to Adam he said, Because you gave ear to the voice of your wife and took of the fruit of the tree which I said you were not to take, the earth is cursed on your account; in pain you will get your food from it all your life.
又对亚当说： 你既听从妻子的话， 吃了我所吩咐你不可吃的那树上的果子， 地必为你的缘故受咒诅； 你必终身劳苦才能从地里得吃的。
18 Thorns and waste plants will come up, and the plants of the field will be your food;
地必给你长出荆棘和蒺藜来； 你也要吃田间的菜蔬。
19 With the hard work of your hands you will get your bread till you go back to the earth from which you were taken: for dust you are and to the dust you will go back.
你必汗流满面才得糊口， 直到你归了土， 因为你是从土而出的。 你本是尘土，仍要归于尘土。
20 And the man gave his wife the name of Eve because she was the mother of all who have life.
亚当给他妻子起名叫夏娃，因为她是众生之母。
21 And the Lord God made for Adam and for his wife coats of skins for their clothing.
耶和华 神为亚当和他妻子用皮子做衣服给他们穿。
22 And the Lord God said, Now the man has become like one of us, having knowledge of good and evil; and now if he puts out his hand and takes of the fruit of the tree of life, he will go on living for ever.
耶和华 神说：“那人已经与我们相似，能知道善恶；现在恐怕他伸手又摘生命树的果子吃，就永远活着。”
23 So the Lord God sent him out of the garden of Eden to be a worker on the earth from which he was taken.
耶和华 神便打发他出伊甸园去，耕种他所自出之土。
24 So he sent the man out; and at the east of the garden of Eden he put winged ones and a flaming sword turning every way to keep the way to the tree of life.
于是把他赶出去了；又在伊甸园的东边安设基路伯和四面转动发火焰的剑，要把守生命树的道路。
