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, has God said, All of you shall not eat of every 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, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:
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 has said, All of you shall not eat of it, neither shall all of you touch it, lest all of you 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, All of you shall not surely die:
Da sagde Slangen til Kvinden: »I skal ingenlunde dø;
5 For God does know that in the day all of you eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and all of you shall be as gods, 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 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.
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 aprons.
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 in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God among 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 Adam, and said unto him, Where are you?
Da kaldte Gud HERREN paa Adam og raabte: »Hvor er du?«
10 And he said, I heard your 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 you that you were naked? Have you eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded you that you should 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 you gave 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 that you have done? And the woman said, The serpent misled 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 you have done this, you are cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon your belly shall you go, and dust shall you eat all the days of your 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 you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed; it shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his 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 your sorrow and your conception; in sorrow you shall bring forth children; and your desire shall be to your husband, and he shall rule over you.
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 you have hearkened unto the voice of your wife, and have eaten of the tree, of which I commanded you, saying, You shall not eat of it: cursed is the ground for your sake; in sorrow shall you eat of it all the days of your 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 you; and you shall 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 your face shall you eat bread, till you return unto the ground; for out of it were you taken: for dust you are, and unto dust shall you 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 Adam 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 Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats 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 Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of 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.
