Genesis 3
1 Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman: 'Yea, hath God said: Ye shall not eat of any tree of the garden?'
Men Slangen var træskere end alle Markens andre Dyr, som Gud HERREN havde gjort og den sagde til Kvinden: »Mon Gud virkelig ham sagt: I maa ikke spise af noget Træ i Haven?«
2 And the woman said unto the serpent: 'Of the fruit of the trees of the garden we may eat;
Kvinden svarede: »Vi har Lov at spise af Frugten paa Havens Træer;
3 but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said: Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.'
kun af Frugten fra Træet midt i Haven, sagde Gud, maa I ikke spise, ja, I maa ikke røre derved, thi saa skal I dø!«
4 And the serpent said unto the woman: 'Ye shall not surely die;
Da sagde Slangen til Kvinden: »I skal ingenlunde dø;
5 for God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as God, knowing good and evil.'
men Gud ved, at naar I spiser deraf, aabnes eders Øjne, saa I blive som Gud til at kende godt og ondt!«
6 And 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 to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat; and she gave also unto her husband with her, and he did eat.
Kvinden blev nu var, at Træet var godt at spise af, en Lyst for Øjnene og godt at faa Forstand af; og hun tog af dets Frugt og spiste og gav ogsaa sin Mand, der stod hos hende, og han spiste.
7 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig-leaves together, and made themselves girdles.
Da aabnedes begges Øjne, og de kendte, at de var nøgne. Derfor syede de Figenblade sammen og bandt dem om sig.
8 And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden toward the cool of the day; and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden.
Da Dagen blev sval, hørte de Gud HERREN vandre i Haven, og Adam og hans Hustru skjulte sig for ham inde mellem Havens Træer.
9 And the LORD God called unto the man, and said unto him: 'Where art thou?'
Da kaldte Gud HERREN paa Adam og raabte: »Hvor er du?«
10 And he said: 'I heard Thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.'
Han svarede: »Jeg hørte dig i Haven og blev angst, fordi jeg var nøgen, og saa skjulte jeg mig!«
11 And He said: 'Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?'
Da sagde han: »Hvem fortalte dig, at du var nøgen. Mon du har spist af det Træ, jeg sagde, du ikke maatte spise af?«
12 And the man said: 'The woman whom Thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.'
Adam svarede: »Kvinden, som du satte ved min Side, gav mig af Træet, og saa spiste jeg.«
13 And the LORD God said unto the woman: 'What is this thou hast done?' And the woman said: 'The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.'
Da sagde Gud HERREN til Kvinde: »Hvad har du gjort!« Kvinden svarede: »Slangen forførte mig, og saa spiste jeg.«
14 And the LORD God said unto the serpent: 'Because thou hast done this, cursed art thou from among all cattle, and from among all beasts of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life.
Da sagde Gud HERREN til Slangen: »Fordi du har gjort dette, være du forbandet blandt al Kvæget og blandt alle Markens Dyr! Paa din Bug skal du krybe, og Støv skal du æde alle dit Livs Dage!
15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; they shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise their heel.'
Jeg sætter Fjendskab mellem dig og Kvinden, mellem din Sæd og hendes Sæd; den skal knuse dit Hoved, og du skal hugge den i Hælen!«
16 Unto the woman He said: 'I will greatly multiply thy pain and thy travail; in pain thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.'
Til Kvinden sagde han: »Jeg vil meget mangfoldiggøre dit Svangerskabs Møje; med Smerte skal du føde Børn; men til din Mand skal din Attraa være, og han skal herske over dig!«
17 And unto Adam He said: 'Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying: Thou shalt not eat of it; cursed is the ground for thy sake; in toil shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life.
Og til Adam sagde han: »Fordi du lyttede til din Hustrus Tale og spiste af Træet, som jeg sagde, du ikke maatte spise af, skal Jorden være forbandet for din Skyld; med Møje skal du skaffe dig Føde af den alle dit Livs Dage;
18 Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field.
Torn og Tidsel skal den bære dig, og Markens Urter skal være din Føde;
19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken; for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.'
i dit Ansigts Sved skal du spise dit Brød, indtil du vender tilbage til Jorden; thi af den er du taget; ja, Støv er du, og til Støv skal du vende tilbage!«
20 And the man called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.
Men Adam kaldte sin Hustru Eva, thi hun blev Moder til alt levende.
21 And the LORD God made for Adam and for his wife garments of skins, and clothed them.
Derpaa gjorde Gud HERREN Skindkjortler til Adam og hans Hustru og klædte dem dermed.
22 And the LORD God said: 'Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil; and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever.'
Men Gud HERREN sagde: »Se, Mennesket er blevet som en af os til at kende godt og ondt. Nu skal han ikke række Haanden ud og tage ogsaa af Livets Træ og spise og leve evindelig!«
23 Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.
Saa forviste Gud HERREN ham fra Edens Have, for at han skulde dyrke Jorden, som han var taget af;
24 So He drove out the man; and He placed at the east of the garden of Eden the cherubim, and the flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way to the tree of life.
og han drev Mennesket ud, og østen for Edens Have satte han Keruberne med det glimtende Flammesværd til at vogte Vejen til Livets Træ.
