Genesis 3
1 Now the serpent was more subtill then any beast of the fielde, which the Lord God had made: and he said to the woman, Yea, hath God in deede said, Ye shall not eate of euery tree of the garden?
Now the serpent was more shrewd than any other beast of the field which Yahweh God had made. He said to the woman, “Has God really said, 'You must not eat from any tree of the garden'?”
2 And the woman said vnto the serpent, We eate of the fruite of the trees of the garden,
The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat the fruit from the trees of the garden,
3 But of the fruite of the tree which is in the middes of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eate of it, neither shall ye touche it, lest ye die.
but concerning the fruit of the tree which is in the middle of the garden, God said, 'You may not eat it, nor may you touch it, or you will die.'”
4 Then the serpent said to the woman, Ye shall not die at all,
The serpent said to the woman, “You will surely not die.
5 But God doeth knowe, that when ye shall eate thereof, your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and euill.
For God knows that the day you eat it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”
6 So the woman (seeing that the tree was good for meate, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to get knowledge) tooke of the fruite thereof, and did eate, and gaue also to her husband with her, and he did eate.
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 desirable to make one wise, she took some of its fruit and ate it. Then she also gave some to her husband who was with her, and he ate it.
7 Then the eyes of them both were opened, and they knewe that they were naked, and they sewed figge tree leaues together, and made them selues breeches.
The eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked. They sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves.
8 Afterward they heard the voyce of the Lord God walking in the garden in the coole of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselues from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden.
They heard the sound of Yahweh God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, so the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of Yahweh God among the trees of the garden.
9 But the Lord God called to the man, and said vnto him, Where art thou?
Yahweh God called to the man and said to him, “Where are you?”
10 Who saide, I heard thy voyce in the garden, and was afraide: because I was naked, therefore I hid my selfe.
The man said, “I heard you in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked. So I hid myself.”
11 And he saide, Who tolde thee, that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eate?
God said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?”
12 Then the man saide, The woman which thou gauest to be with me, she gaue me of the tree, and I did eate.
The man said, “The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me fruit from the tree, and I ate it.”
13 And the Lord God saide to the woman, Why hast thou done this? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eate.
Yahweh God said to the woman, “What is this you have done?” The woman said, “The serpent lied to me, and I ate.”
14 Then the Lord God said to the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed aboue all cattell, and aboue euery beast of the fielde: vpon thy belly shalt thou goe, and dust shalt thou eate all the dayes of thy life.
Yahweh God said to the serpent, “Because you have done this, cursed are you alone among all the livestock and all the beasts of the field. It is on your stomach that you will go, and it is dust that you will eat all the days of your life.
15 I will also put enimitie betweene thee and the woman, and betweene thy seede and her seede. He shall breake thine head, and thou shalt bruise his heele.
I will put hostility between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed. He will bruise your head, and you will bruise his heel.”
16 Vnto the woman he said, I will greatly increase thy sorowes, and thy conceptions. In sorowe shalt thou bring foorth children, and thy desire shalbe subiect to thine husband, and he shall rule ouer thee.
To the woman he said, “I will greatly multiply your pain in having children; it is in pain that you will give birth to children. Your desire will be for your husband, but he will rule over you.”
17 Also to Adam he said, Because thou hast obeyed the voyce of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, (whereof I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eate of it) cursed is the earth for thy sake: in sorowe shalt thou eate of it all the dayes of thy life.
To Adam he said, “Because you have listened to the voice of your wife, and have eaten from the tree, concerning which I commanded you, saying, 'You may not eat from it,' cursed is the ground because of you; through painful work you will eat from it all the days of your life.
18 Thornes also, and thistles shall it bring foorth to thee, and thou shalt eate the herbe of the fielde.
It will produce thorns and thistles for you, and you will eat the plants of the field.
19 In the sweate of thy face shalt thou eate bread, till thou returne to the earth: for out of it wast thou taken, because thou art dust, and to dust shalt thou returne.
By the sweat of your face you will eat bread, until you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken. For dust you are, and to dust you will return.”
20 (And the man called his wiues name Heuah, because she was the mother of all liuing)
The man called his wife's name Eve because she was the mother of all the living.
21 Vnto Adam also and to his wife did the Lord God make coates of skinnes, and clothed them.
Yahweh God made for Adam and for his wife garments of skins and clothed them.
22 And the Lord God said, Beholde, the man is become as one of vs, to knowe good and euill. And nowe lest he put foorth his hand, and take also of ye tree of life and eate and liue for euer,
Yahweh God said, “Now the man has become like one of us, knowing good and evil. So now he must not be allowed to reach out with his hand, take from the tree of life, eat it, and live forever.”
23 Therefore the Lord God sent him foorth from the garden of Eden, to till ye earth, whence he was taken.
Therefore Yahweh God sent him out from the garden of Eden, to cultivate the ground from which he had been taken.
24 Thus he cast out man, and at the East side of the garden of Eden he set the Cherubims, and the blade of a sworde shaken, to keepe the way of the tree of life.
So God drove the man out of the garden, and he placed cherubim at the east of the garden of Eden, and a flaming sword that turned every way, in order to guard the way to the tree of life.
