Genesis 3
1 And the two were naked, both Adam and his wife, and were not ashamed. Now the serpent was the most crafty of all the brutes on the earth, which the Lord God made, and the serpent said to the woman, Wherefore has God said, Eat not of every tree of 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 And the woman said to the serpent, We may eat of 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 of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye 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 And the serpent said to the woman, Ye shall not surely die.
蛇對女人說：「你們決不會死!
5 For God knew that in whatever day ye should eat of it your eyes would be opened, and ye would be as gods, 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 And the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes to look upon and beautiful to contemplate, and having taken of its fruit she ate, and she gave to her husband also with her, and they ate.
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 were opened, and they perceived that they were naked, and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons to go round them.
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 And they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the afternoon; and both Adam and his wife hid themselves from the face of the Lord God in the midst of 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 And the Lord God called Adam and said to him, Adam, where art thou?
上主天主呼喚亞當對他說：「你在那裏﹖」
10 And he said to him, I heard thy voice as thou walkedst in the garden, and I feared because I was naked and 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 And God said to him, Who told thee that thou wast naked, unless thou hast eaten of the tree concerning which I charged thee of it alone 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 Adam said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me—she gave me of the tree and I ate.
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 And the Lord God said to the woman, Why hast thou done this? And the woman said, The serpent deceived me 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 And the Lord God said to the serpent, Because thou hast done this thou art cursed above all cattle and all the brutes of the earth, on thy breast and belly thou shalt go, and thou shalt eat earth all the days of thy 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 thee and the woman and between thy seed and her seed, he shall watch against thy head, and thou shalt watch against 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 And to the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy pains and thy groanings; in pain thou shalt bring forth children, and thy submission shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.
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 thou hast hearkened to the voice of thy wife, and eaten of the tree concerning which I charged thee of it only not to eat—of that thou hast eaten, cursed [is] the ground in thy labours, in pain shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy 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 Thorns and thistles shall it bring forth to thee, and thou shalt eat the herb of the field.
地要給你生出荊棘和蒺蔾，你要吃田間的蔬菜；
19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat thy bread until thou return to the earth out of which thou wast taken, for earth thou art and to earth thou shalt 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 called the name of his wife Life, because she was the mother of all 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 for Adam and his wife garments of skin, and 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 And God said, Behold, Adam is become as one of us, to know good and evil, and now lest at any time he stretch forth his hand, and take of the tree of life and eat, and [so] he shall live for ever—
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 So the Lord God sent him forth out of the garden of Delight to cultivate the ground out of which he was 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 And he cast out Adam and caused him to dwell over against the garden of Delight, and stationed the cherubs and the fiery sword that turns about to keep the way of 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。
