Genesis 3
1 And the serpent has been cunning above every beast of the field which YHWH God has made, and he says to the woman, “Is it true that God has said, You do not eat from every tree of the garden?”
在上主天主所造的一切野獸中，蛇是最狡猾的。蛇對女人說：「天主真說了，你們不可吃樂園中任何樹上的果子嗎﹖」
2 And the woman says to the serpent, “From the fruit of the trees of the garden we eat,
女人對蛇說：「樂園中樹上的果子，我們都可吃；
3 but from the fruit of the tree which [is] in the midst of the garden, God has said, You do not eat of it, nor touch it, lest you die.”
只有樂園中央那棵樹上的果子，天主說過，你們不可以吃，也不可摸，免得死亡。」
4 And the serpent says to the woman, “Dying, you do not die,
蛇對女人說：「你們決不會死!
5 for God knows that in the day of your eating of it—your eyes have been opened, and you have been as God, knowing good and evil.”
因為天主知道，你們那天吃了這果子，你們的眼就會開了，將如同天主一樣知道善惡。」
6 And the woman sees that the tree [is] good for food, and that it [is] pleasant to the eyes, and the tree is desirable to make [one] wise, and she takes from its fruit and eats, and also gives [some] to her husband with her, and he eats;
女人看那棵果樹實在好吃好看，令人羨慕，且能增加智慧，遂摘下一個果子吃了，又給了她的男人一個，他也吃了。
7 and the eyes of them both are opened, and they know that they [are] naked, and they sew fig-leaves, and make girdles for themselves.
於是二人的眼立即開了，發覺自己赤身露體，遂用無花果樹葉，編了個裙子圍身。
8 And they hear the sound of YHWH God walking up and down in the garden at the breeze of the day, and the man and his wife hide themselves from the face of YHWH God in the midst of the trees of the garden.
當亞當和他的妻子聽見了上主天主趁晚涼在樂園中散步的聲音，就躲藏在樂園的樹林中，怕見上主天主的面。
9 And YHWH God calls to the man and says to him, “Where [are] you?”
上主天主呼喚亞當對他說：「你在那裏﹖」
10 And he says, “I have heard Your sound in the garden, and I am afraid, for I am naked, and I hide myself.”
他答說：「我在樂園中聽到了你的聲音，就害怕起來，因為我赤身露體，遂躲藏了。」
11 And He says, “Who has declared to you that you [are] naked? Have you eaten from the tree of which I have commanded you not to eat?”
天主說：「誰告訴了你，赤身露體﹖莫非你吃了我禁止你吃的果子﹖」
12 And the man says, “The woman whom You placed with me—she has given to me from the tree, and I eat.”
亞當說：「是你給作伴的那個女人給了我那樹上的果子，我才吃了。」
13 And YHWH God says to the woman, “What [is] this you have done?” And the woman says, “The serpent has caused me to forget, and I eat.”
上主天主遂對女人說：「你為什麼作了這事﹖」女人答說：「是蛇哄騙了我，我才吃了。」
14 And YHWH God says to the serpent, “Because you have done this, cursed [are] you above all the livestock, and above every beast of the field: on your belly you go, and dust you eat, [for] all days of your life;
上主天主對蛇說：「因你做了這事，你在一切畜牲和野獸中，是可咒罵的；你要用肚子爬行，畢生日日吃土。
15 and I put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her Seed; He bruises your head, and you bruise His heel.”
我要把仇恨放在你和女人，你的後裔和她的後裔之間，她的後裔要踏碎你的頭顱，你要傷害他的腳跟。」
16 To the woman He said, “Multiplying I multiply your sorrow and your conception; you will bear children in sorrow, and your desire [is] toward your Man [[or husband]], and He [[or he]] will rule over you.”
後對女人說：「我要增加你懷孕的苦楚，在痛苦中生子；你要依戀你的丈夫，也要受他的管轄。」
17 And to the man He said, “Because you have listened to the voice of your wife, and eat from the tree concerning which I have charged you, saying, You do not eat of it, cursed [is] the ground on your account; in sorrow you eat of it [for] all days of your life,
後對亞當說：「因為你聽了你妻子的話，吃了我禁止你吃的果子，為了你的緣故，地成了可咒罵的；你一生日日勞苦才能得到吃食。
18 and it brings forth thorn and bramble for you, and you have eaten the herb of the field;
地要給你生出荊棘和蒺蔾，你要吃田間的蔬菜；
19 by the sweat of your face you eat bread until your return to the ground, for you have been taken out of it, for dust you [are], and to dust you return.”
你必須汗流滿面，才有飯吃，直到你歸於土中，因為你是由土來的；你既是灰土，你還要歸於灰土。」
20 And the man calls his wife’s name Eve, for she has been mother of all living.
亞當給自己的妻子起名叫厄娃，因為她是眾生的母親。
21 And YHWH God makes coats of skin [for] the man and his wife, and clothes them.
上主天主為亞當和他的妻子做了件皮衣，給他們穿上；
22 And YHWH God says, “Behold, the man was as one of Us, as to the knowledge of good and evil; and now, lest he send forth his hand, and has also taken from the Tree of Life, and eaten, and lived for all time.”
然後上主天主說：「看，人已相似我們中的一個，知道了善惡；如今不要讓他伸手再摘取生命樹上的果子，吃了活到永遠。」
23 YHWH God sends him forth from the Garden of Eden to serve the ground from which he has been taken;
上主天主遂把他趕出伊甸樂園，叫他耕種他所由出的土地。
24 indeed, He casts out the man, and causes the cherubim to dwell at the east of the Garden of Eden with the sword of flame whirling around to guard the way of the Tree of Life.
天主將亞當逐出了以後，就在伊甸樂園的東面，派了「革魯賓」和刀光四射的火劍，防守到生命樹去的路。
