Genesis 3
1 Now the serpent was more subtle than any of the beasts of the earth which the Lord God had made. And he said to the woman: Why hath God commanded you, that you should not eat of every tree of paradise?
Torej kača [pa] je bila bolj premetena kakor katerakoli izmed poljskih živali, ki jih je Gospod Bog naredil. In rekla je ženski: »Da, ali je Bog res rekel: ›Ne bosta jedla od vsakega vrtnega drevesa?‹«
2 And the woman answered him, saying: Of the fruit of the trees that are in paradise we do eat:
In ženska je rekla kači: »Midva lahko jeva od sadja vrtnih dreves,
3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of paradise, God hath commanded us that we should not eat; and that we should not touch it, lest perhaps we die.
toda o sadu drevesa, ki je v sredi vrta, je Bog rekel: ›Ne bosta jedla od njega niti se ga ne bosta dotikala, da ne bi umrla.‹«
4 And the serpent said to the woman: No, you shall not die the death.
Kača je ženski rekla: »Zagotovo ne bosta umrla,
5 For God doth know that in what day soever you shall eat thereof, your eyes shall be opened: and you shall be as Gods, knowing good and evil.
kajti Bog ve, da se bodo na dan, ko bosta od njega jedla, vajine oči potem odprle in bosta kakor bogovi, poznavajoč dobro in zlo.«
6 And the woman saw that the tree was good to eat, and fair to the eyes, and delightful to behold: and she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave to her husband who did eat.
In ko je ženska videla, da je bilo drevo dobro za jed in da je bilo prijetno očem in da si je drevesa želeti, da naredi nekoga modrega, je vzela od njegovega sadu in jedla ter dala tudi svojemu soprogu, [ki je bil] z njo, in on je jedel.
7 And the eyes of them both were opened: and when they perceived themselves to be naked, they sewed together fig leaves, and made themselves aprons.
Oči so se obema odprle in spoznala sta, da sta bila naga. Skupaj sta sešila figove liste ter si naredila predpasnika.
8 And when they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in paradise at the afternoon air, Adam and his wife hid themselves from the face of the Lord God, amidst the trees of paradise.
In zaslišala sta šum Gospoda Boga, ki je v svežini dneva hodil po vrtu, in Adam ter njegova žena sta se pred prisotnostjo Gospoda Boga skrila med vrtna drevesa.
9 And the Lord God called Adam, and said to him: Where art thou?
Gospod Bog je zaklical Adamu in mu rekel: »Kje si?«
10 And he said: I heard thy voice in paradise; and I was afraid, because I was naked, and I hid myself.
Ta je rekel: »Zaslišal sem tvoj šum na vrtu in sem se zbal, ker sem bil nag, in sem se skril.«
11 And he said to him: And who hath told thee that thou wast naked, but that thou hast eaten of the tree whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldst not eat?
Rekel je: »Kdo ti je povedal, da si bil nag? Mar si jedel od drevesa, od katerega sem ti zapovedal, da ne bi smel jesti?«
12 And Adam said: The woman, whom thou gavest me to be my companion, gave me of the tree, and I did eat.
Mož je rekel: »Ženska, ki si mi jo dal, da je z menoj, ona mi je dala od drevesa in sem jedel.«
13 And the Lord God said to the woman: Why hast thou done this? And she answered: The serpent deceived me, and I did eat.
Gospod Bog je rekel ženski: »Kaj je to, kar si storila?« Ženska je rekla: »Kača me je preslepila in sem jedla.«
14 And the Lord God said to the serpent: Because thou hast done this thing, thou art cursed among all cattle, and beasts of the earth: upon thy breast shalt thou go, and earth shalt thou eat all the days of thy life.
Gospod Bog je rekel kači: »Ker si to storila, si prekleta nad vso živino in nad vsako poljsko živaljo. Po svojem trebuhu boš šla in prah boš jedla vse dni svojega življenja.
15 I will put enmities between thee and the woman, and thy seed and her seed: she shall crush thy head, and thou shalt lie in wait for her heel.
Postavil bom sovraštvo med teboj in žensko in med tvoje seme in njeno seme; to ti zdrobi glavo, ti pa boš ranila njegovo peto.«
16 To the woman also he said: I will multiply thy sorrows, and thy conceptions: in sorrow shalt thou bring forth children, and thou shalt be under thy husband’s power, and he shall have dominion over thee.
Ženski je rekel: »Silno bom pomnožil tvojo bridkost in tvoje spočetje. V bridkosti boš rojevala otroke, in tvoje hrepenenje bo k tvojemu soprogu in on bo vladal nad teboj.«
17 And to Adam he said: Because thou hast hearkened to the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldst not eat, cursed is the earth in thy work; with labour and toil shalt thou eat thereof all the days of thy life.
Adamu pa je rekel: »Ker si prisluhnil glasu svoje žene in si jedel od drevesa, o katerem sem ti zapovedal, rekoč: ›Ne boš jedel od njega; ‹ prekleta so tla zaradi tebe, v bridkosti boš jedel od le-teh vse dni svojega življenja.
18 Thorns and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herbs of the earth.
Tudi trnje in osat ti bodo obrodila; in poljsko zelišče boš jedel;
19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread till thou return to the earth, out of which thou wast taken: for dust thou art, and into dust thou shalt return.
v potu svojega obraza boš jedel kruh, dokler se ne vrneš v tla, kajti od tam si bil vzet, kajti prah si in v prah se boš vrnil.«
20 And Adam called the name of his wife Eve: because she was the mother of all the living.
Adam je svojo ženo imenoval Eva; ker je bila mati vseh živih.
21 And the Lord God made for Adam and his wife, garments of skins, and clothed them.
Adamu in njegovi ženi je Gospod Bog naredil plašča iz kož ter ju oblekel.
22 And he said: Behold Adam is become as one of us, knowing good and evil: now, therefore, lest perhaps he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever.
Gospod Bog je rekel: »Glej, človek je postal kakor eden izmed nas, da pozna dobro in zlo. In sedaj, da ne iztegne svoje roke in vzame tudi od drevesa življenja ter jé in živi na veke, «
23 And the Lord God sent him out of the paradise of pleasure, to till the earth from which he was taken.
ga je Gospod Bog zato odposlal iz edenskega vrta, da orje tla, iz katerih je bil vzet.
24 And he cast out Adam; and placed before the paradise of pleasure Cherubims, and a flaming sword, turning every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.
Tako je izgnal človeka in na vzhodu edenskega vrta namestil kerube in ognjen meč, ki obrača vsako pot, da varuje pot drevesa življenja.
