Genesis 3
1 Now the serpent was more shrewd than any of the wild animals which God had made. And he said to the woman, "Has God really said, 'You shall not eat of any 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 said to the serpent, "Of the fruit of the trees of the garden we may eat,
女人對蛇說：「樂園中樹上的果子，我們都可吃；
3 but of the fruit of the tree which is in the middle of the garden, God has said, 'You shall not eat of it, neither shall you 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 The serpent said to the woman, "You won't surely die,
蛇對女人說：「你們決不會死!
5 for God knows that in the day you eat it, your eyes will be opened, and you will be like 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 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 its fruit, and ate, and she also gave some to her husband who was with her, and he ate.
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 The eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked. So they sewed fig leaves together, and made coverings 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 They heard the voice of God walking in the garden during the breeze of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of God among 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 So God called to the man, and said to him, "Where are you?"
上主天主呼喚亞當對他說：「你在那裏﹖」
10 And he said, "I heard your voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; so I hid 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 said, "Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?"
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 The man said, "The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I ate."
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 Then God said to the woman, "What is this you have done?" The woman said, "The serpent deceived me, and I ate."
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 So God said to the serpent, "Because you have done this, cursed are you above every tame animal, and above every wild animal. On your belly you shall go, and you shall eat dust all the 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 I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring. He will bruise your head, and you will 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 And to the woman he said, "I will greatly multiply your pain in childbirth. In pain you will bring forth children. Your desire will be for your husband, and 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 To Adam he said, "Because you have listened to your wife's voice, 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 toil you will eat of it all the 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 Thorns also and thistles will it bring forth to you; and you will eat the plants 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 will you eat bread until you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken. For you are dust, and to dust you shall 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 The man called his wife Eve, because she was the 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 God made clothing out of skins for Adam and for his wife, and clothed them.
上主天主為亞當和他的妻子做了件皮衣，給他們穿上；
22 Then God said, "Look, the man has become like one of us, knowing good and evil. So now, let us send him out, lest he reach out his hand and also take of the tree of life and eat, and live forever."
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 Therefore the LORD sent him out of the garden of Eden, to till the ground from which he was 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 So he drove out the man; and he stationed the cherubim at the east of the garden of Eden, and a flaming sword which turned every direction, to guard the way to 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。
