< Genesis 3 >

1 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which Yhwh God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
وَكَانَتِ ٱلْحَيَّةُ أَحْيَلَ جَمِيعِ حَيَوَانَاتِ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ ٱلَّتِي عَمِلَهَا ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْإِلَهُ، فَقَالَتْ لِلْمَرْأَةِ: «أَحَقًّا قَالَ ٱللهُ لَا تَأْكُلَا مِنْ كُلِّ شَجَرِ ٱلْجَنَّةِ؟»١
2 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:
فَقَالَتِ ٱلْمَرْأَةُ لِلْحَيَّةِ: «مِنْ ثَمَرِ شَجَرِ ٱلْجَنَّةِ نَأْكُلُ،٢
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.
وَأَمَّا ثَمَرُ ٱلشَّجَرَةِ ٱلَّتِي فِي وَسَطِ ٱلْجَنَّةِ فَقَالَ ٱللهُ: لَا تَأْكُلَا مِنْهُ وَلَا تَمَسَّاهُ لِئَلَّا تَمُوتَا».٣
4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
فَقَالَتِ ٱلْحَيَّةُ لِلْمَرْأَةِ: «لَنْ تَمُوتَا!٤
5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
بَلِ ٱللهُ عَالِمٌ أَنَّهُ يَوْمَ تَأْكُلَانِ مِنْهُ تَنْفَتِحُ أَعْيُنُكُمَا وَتَكُونَانِ كَٱللهِ عَارِفَيْنِ ٱلْخَيْرَ وَٱلشَّرَّ».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.
فَرَأَتِ ٱلْمَرْأَةُ أَنَّ ٱلشَّجَرَةَ جَيِّدَةٌ لِلْأَكْلِ، وَأَنَّهَا بَهِجَةٌ لِلْعُيُونِ، وَأَنَّ ٱلشَّجَرَةَ شَهِيَّةٌ لِلنَّظَرِ. فَأَخَذَتْ مِنْ ثَمَرِهَا وَأَكَلَتْ، وَأَعْطَتْ رَجُلَهَا أَيْضًا مَعَهَا فَأَكَلَ.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.
فَٱنْفَتَحَتْ أَعْيُنُهُمَا وَعَلِمَا أَنَّهُمَا عُرْيَانَانِ. فَخَاطَا أَوْرَاقَ تِينٍ وَصَنَعَا لِأَنْفُسِهِمَا مَآزِرَ.٧
8 And they heard the voice of Yhwh God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of Yhwh God amongst the trees of the garden.
وَسَمِعَا صَوْتَ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلْإِلَهِ مَاشِيًا فِي ٱلْجَنَّةِ عِنْدَ هُبُوبِ رِيحِ ٱلنَّهَارِ، فَٱخْتَبَأَ آدَمُ وَٱمْرَأَتُهُ مِنْ وَجْهِ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلْإِلَهِ فِي وَسَطِ شَجَرِ ٱلْجَنَّةِ.٨
9 And Yhwh God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?
فَنَادَى ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْإِلَهُ آدَمَ وَقَالَ لَهُ: «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.
فَقَالَ: «سَمِعْتُ صَوْتَكَ فِي ٱلْجَنَّةِ فَخَشِيتُ، لِأَنِّي عُرْيَانٌ فَٱخْتَبَأْتُ».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?
فَقَالَ: «مَنْ أَعْلَمَكَ أَنَّكَ عُرْيَانٌ؟ هَلْ أَكَلْتَ مِنَ ٱلشَّجَرَةِ ٱلَّتِي أَوْصَيْتُكَ أَنْ لَا تَأْكُلَ مِنْهَا؟»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.
فَقَالَ آدَمُ: «ٱلْمَرْأَةُ ٱلَّتِي جَعَلْتَهَا مَعِي هِيَ أَعْطَتْنِي مِنَ ٱلشَّجَرَةِ فَأَكَلْتُ».١٢
13 And Yhwh God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.
فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْإِلَهُ لِلْمَرْأَةِ: «مَا هَذَا ٱلَّذِي فَعَلْتِ؟» فَقَالَتِ ٱلْمَرْأَةُ: «ٱلْحَيَّةُ غَرَّتْنِي فَأَكَلْتُ».١٣
14 And Yhwh God 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 ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْإِلَهُ لِلْحَيَّةِ: «لِأَنَّكِ فَعَلْتِ هَذَا، مَلْعُونَةٌ أَنْتِ مِنْ جَمِيعِ ٱلْبَهَائِمِ وَمِنْ جَمِيعِ وُحُوشِ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ. عَلَى بَطْنِكِ تَسْعَيْنَ وَتُرَابًا تَأْكُلِينَ كُلَّ أَيَّامِ 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.
وَأَضَعُ عَدَاوَةً بَيْنَكِ وَبَيْنَ ٱلْمَرْأَةِ، وَبَيْنَ نَسْلِكِ وَنَسْلِهَا. هُوَ يَسْحَقُ رَأْسَكِ، وَأَنْتِ تَسْحَقِينَ 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.
وَقَالَ لِلْمَرْأَةِ: «تَكْثِيرًا أُكَثِّرُ أَتْعَابَ حَبَلِكِ، بِٱلْوَجَعِ تَلِدِينَ أَوْلَادًا. وَإِلَى رَجُلِكِ يَكُونُ ٱشْتِيَاقُكِ وَهُوَ يَسُودُ 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 days of thy life;
وَقَالَ لِآدَمَ: «لِأَنَّكَ سَمِعْتَ لِقَوْلِ ٱمْرَأَتِكَ وَأَكَلْتَ مِنَ ٱلشَّجَرَةِ ٱلَّتِي أَوْصَيْتُكَ قَائِلًا: لَا تَأْكُلْ مِنْهَا، مَلْعُونَةٌ ٱلْأَرْضُ بِسَبَبِكَ. بِٱلتَّعَبِ تَأْكُلُ مِنْهَا كُلَّ أَيَّامِ حَيَاتِكَ.١٧
18 Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field;
وَشَوْكًا وَحَسَكًا تُنْبِتُ لَكَ، وَتَأْكُلُ عُشْبَ ٱلْحَقْلِ.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 وَجْهِكَ تَأْكُلُ خُبْزًا حَتَّى تَعُودَ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي أُخِذْتَ مِنْهَا. لِأَنَّكَ تُرَابٌ، وَإِلَى تُرَابٍ تَعُودُ».١٩
20 And Adam called his wife’s name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.
وَدَعَا آدَمُ ٱسْمَ ٱمْرَأَتِهِ «حَوَّاءَ» لِأَنَّهَا أُمُّ كُلِّ حَيٍّ.٢٠
21 Unto Adam also and to his wife did Yhwh God make coats of skins, and clothed them.
وَصَنَعَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْإِلَهُ لِآدَمَ وَٱمْرَأَتِهِ أَقْمِصَةً مِنْ جِلْدٍ وَأَلْبَسَهُمَا.٢١
22 And Yhwh 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:
وَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْإِلَهُ: «هُوَذَا ٱلْإِنْسَانُ قَدْ صَارَ كَوَاحِدٍ مِنَّا عَارِفًا ٱلْخَيْرَ وَٱلشَّرَّ. وَٱلْآنَ لَعَلَّهُ يَمُدُّ يَدَهُ وَيَأْخُذُ مِنْ شَجَرَةِ ٱلْحَيَاةِ أَيْضًا وَيَأْكُلُ وَيَحْيَا إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ».٢٢
23 Therefore Yhwh God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.
فَأَخْرَجَهُ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْإِلَهُ مِنْ جَنَّةِ عَدْنٍ لِيَعْمَلَ ٱلْأَرْضَ ٱلَّتِي أُخِذَ مِنْهَا.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.
فَطَرَدَ ٱلْإِنْسَانَ، وَأَقَامَ شَرْقِيَّ جَنَّةِ عَدْنٍ ٱلْكَرُوبِيمَ، وَلَهِيبَ سَيْفٍ مُتَقَلِّبٍ لِحِرَاسَةِ طَرِيقِ شَجَرَةِ ٱلْحَيَاةِ.٢٤
