< Genesis 3 >

1 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which YHWH Elohim had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath Elohim said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
وَكَانَتِ الْحَيَّةُ أَمْكَرَ وُحُوشِ الْبَرِّيَّةِ الَّتِي صَنَعَهَا الرَّبُّ الإِلَهُ، فَسَأَلَتِ الْمَرْأَةَ: «أَحَقّاً أَمَرَكُمَا اللهُ أَلَّا تَأْكُلَا مِنْ جَمِيعِ شَجَرِ الْجَنَّةِ؟»١
2 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:
فَأَجَابَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ: «يُمْكِنُنَا أَنْ نَأْكُلَ مِنْ ثَمَرِ الْجَنَّةِ كُلِّهَا،٢
3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, Elohim hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
مَاعَدَا ثَمَرَ الشَّجَرَةِ الَّتِي فِي وَسَطِهَا، فَقَدْ قَالَ اللهُ: لَا تَأْكُلَا مِنْهُ وَلَا تَلْمَسَاهُ وَإلَّا تَمُوتَا».٣
4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
فَقَالَتِ الْحَيَّةُ لِلْمَرْأَةِ: «لَنْ تَمُوتَا،٤
5 For Elohim doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be like Elohim, knowing good and evil.
بَلْ إِنَّ اللهَ يَعْرِفُ أَنَّهُ يَوْمَ تَأْكُلانِ مِنْ ثَمَرِ هَذِهِ الشَّجَرَةِ تَنْفَتِحُ أَعْيُنُكُمَا فَتَصِيرَانِ مِثْلَهُ، قَادِرَيْنِ عَلَى التَّمْيِيزِ بَيْنَ الْخَيْرِ وَالشَّرِّ».٥
6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.
وَعِنْدَمَا شَاهَدَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ أَنَّ الشَّجَرَةَ لَذِيذَةٌ لِلْمَأْكَلِ وَشَهِيَّةٌ لِلْعُيُونِ، وَمُثِيرَةٌ لِلنَّظَرِ قَطَفَتْ مِنْ ثَمَرِهَا وَأَكَلَتْ، ثُمَّ أَعْطَتْ زَوْجَهَا أَيْضاً فَأَكَلَ مَعَهَا،٦
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 aprons.
فَانْفَتَحَتْ لِلْحَالِ أَعْيُنُهُمَا، وَأَدْرَكَا أَنَّهُمَا عُرْيَانَانِ، فَخَاطَا لأَنْفُسِهِمَا مَآزِرَ مِنْ أَوْرَاقِ التِّينِ.٧
8 And they heard the voice of YHWH Elohim walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of YHWH Elohim amongst the trees of the garden.
ثُمَّ سَمِعَ الزَّوْجَانِ صَوْتَ الرَّبِّ الإِلَهِ وَهُوَ يَمْشِي فِي الْجَنَّةِ عِنْدَ هُبُوبِ رِيحِ النَّهَارِ، فَاخْتَبَآ مِنْ حَضْرَةِ الرَّبِّ الإِلَهِ بَيْنَ شَجَرِ الْجَنَّةِ.٨
9 And YHWH Elohim called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?
فَنَادَى الرَّبُّ الإِلَهُ آدَمَ: «أَيْنَ أَنْتَ؟»٩
10 And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.
فَأَجَابَ: «سَمِعْتُ صَوْتَكَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ فَاخْتَبَأْتُ خِشْيَةً مِنْكَ لأَنِّي عُرْيَانٌ».١٠
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?
فَسَأَلَهُ: «مَنْ قَالَ لَكَ إِنَّكَ عُرْيَانٌ؟ هَلْ أَكَلْتَ مِنْ ثَمَرِ الشَّجَرَةِ الَّتِي نَهَيْتُكَ عَنْهَا؟»١١
12 And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.
فَأَجَابَ آدَمُ: «إِنَّهَا الْمَرْأَةُ الَّتِي جَعَلْتَهَا رَفِيقَةً لِي. هِيَ الَّتِي أَطْعَمَتْنِي مِنْ ثَمَرِ الشَّجَرَةِ، فَأَكَلْتُ».١٢
13 And YHWH Elohim said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.
فَسَأَلَ الرَّبُّ الإِلَهُ الْمَرْأَةَ: «مَاذَا فَعَلْتِ؟» فَأَجَابَتْ: «أَغْوَتْنِي الْحَيَّةُ فَأَكَلْتُ».١٣
14 And YHWH Elohim said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:
فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ الإِلَهُ لِلْحَيَّةِ: «لأَنَّكِ فَعَلْتِ هَذَا، مَلْعُونَةٌ أَنْتِ مِنْ بَيْنَ جَمِيعِ الْبَهَائِمِ وَمِنْ جَمِيعِ وُحُوشِ الْبَرِّيَّةِ، عَلَى بَطْنِكِ تَسْعَيْنَ، وَمِنَ التُّرَابِ تَأْكُلِينَ طَوَالَ حَيَاتِكِ،١٤
15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
وَأُثِيرُ عَدَاوَةً دَائِمَةً بَيْنَكِ وَبَيْنَ الْمَرْأَةِ، وَكَذَلِكَ بَيْنَ نَسْلَيْكُمَا. هُوَ يَسْحَقُ رَأْسَكِ وَأَنْتِ تَلْدَغِينَ عَقِبَهُ».١٥
16 Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.
ثُمَّ قَالَ لِلْمَرْأَةِ: «أُكَثِّرُ تَكْثِيراً أَوْجَاعَ مَخَاضِكِ فَتُنْجِبِينَ بِالآلَامِ أَوْلَاداً، وَإِلَى زَوْجِكِ يَكُونُ اشْتِيَاقُكِ وَهُوَ يَتَسَلَّطُ عَلَيْكِ».١٦
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 sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the day of thy life;
وَقَالَ لِآدَمَ: «لأَنَّكَ أَذْعَنْتَ لِقَوْلِ امْرَأَتِكَ، وَأَكَلْتَ مِنَ الشَّجَرَةِ الَّتِي نَهَيْتُكَ عَنْهَا، فَالأَرْضُ مَلْعُونَةٌ بِسَبَبِكَ وَبِالْمَشَقَّةِ تَقْتَاتُ مِنْهَا طَوَالَ عُمْرِكَ.١٧
18 Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field;
شَوْكاً وَحَسَكاً تُنْبِتُ لَكَ، وَأَنْتَ تَأْكُلُ عُشْبَ الْحَقْلِ.١٨
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.
بِعَرَقِ جَبِينِكَ تَكْسَبُ عَيْشَكَ حَتَّى تَعُودَ إِلَى الأَرْضِ، فَمِنْ تُرَابٍ أُخِذْتَ، وَإِلَى تُرَابٍ تَعُودُ».١٩
20 And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.
وَسَمَّى آدَمُ زَوْجَتَهُ «حَوَّاءَ» لأَنَّهَا أُمُّ كُلِّ حَيٍّ.٢٠
21 Unto Adam also and to his wife did YHWH Elohim make coats of skins, and clothed them.
وَكَسَا الرَّبُّ الإِلَهُ آدَمَ وَزَوْجَتَهُ رِدَاءَيْنِ مِنْ جِلْدٍ صَنَعَهُمَا لَهُمَا.٢١
22 And YHWH Elohim 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:
ثُمَّ قَالَ الرَّبُّ الإِلَهُ: «هَا الإِنْسَانُ قَدْ صَارَ كَوَاحِدٍ مِنَّا، يُمَيِّزُ بَيْنَ الْخَيْرِ وَالشَّرِّ. وَقَدْ يَمُدُّ يَدَهُ وَيَتَنَاوَلُ مِنْ شَجَرَةِ الْحَيَاةِ وَيَأْكُلُ، فَيَحْيَا إِلَى الأَبَدِ».٢٢
23 Therefore YHWH Elohim sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.
فَأَخْرَجَهُ مِنْ جَنَّةِ عَدْنٍ لِيَفْلَحَ الأَرْضَ الَّتِي أُخِذَ مِنْ تُرَابِهَا.٢٣
24 So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.
وَهَكَذَا طَرَدَ اللهُ الإِنْسَانَ مِنْ جَنَّةِ عَدْنٍ، وَأَقَامَ مَلائِكَةَ الْكَرُوبِيمِ وَسَيْفاً نَارِيًّا مُتَقَلِّباً شَرْقِيَّ الْجَنَّةِ لِحِرَاسَةِ الطَّرِيقِ الْمُفْضِيَةِ إِلَى «شَجَرَةِ الْحَيَاةِ».٢٤
