< 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?'"
Og Slangen var træskere end alle vilde Dyr paa Marken, hvilke Gud Herren havde gjort; og den sagde til Kvinden: Mon Gud skulde have sagt: I maa ikke æde af hvert Træ i Haven?
2 And the woman said to the serpent, "Of the fruit of the trees of the garden we may eat,
Da sagde Kvinden til Slangen: Vi maa æde af Havens Træers Frugt;
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.'"
men om det Træs Frugt, som er midt i Haven, sagde Gud: Æder ikke deraf og rører ikke derved, at I ikke skulle dø.
4 The serpent said to the woman, "You won't surely die,
Da sagde Slangen til Kvinden: I skulle ikke dø Døden;
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."
men Gud ved, at hvilken Dag I æde deraf, da skulle eders Øjne oplades, og I skulle blive ligesom Gud og kende godt og ondt.
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.
Og Kvinden saa, at Træet var godt at æde af, og at det var lysteligt at se til og et ønskeligt Træ til at faa Forstand af, og hun tog af dets Frugt og aad; og hun gav ogsaa sin Mand med sig, og han aad.
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.
Da oplodes begges Øjne, og de kendte, at de vare nøgne, og de hæftede Figenblade sammen og gjorde sig Bælter.
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.
Og de hørte Gud Herrens Røst, som gik i Haven, der Dagen blev sval; da skjulte Adam og hans Hustru sig for Gud Herrens Ansigt iblandt Træerne i Haven.
9 So God called to the man, and said to him, "Where are you?"
Og Gud Herren kaldte ad Adam og sagde til ham: Hvor er du?
10 And he said, "I heard your voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; so I hid myself."
Og han sagde: Jeg hørte din Røst i Haven og frygtede; thi jeg var nøgen, og jeg skjulte mig.
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?"
Og han sagde: Hvo gav dig til Kende, at du var nøgen? har du ædet af det Træ, om hvilket jeg bød dig, at du skulde ikke æde deraf?
12 The man said, "The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I ate."
Og Adam sagde: Kvinden, som du gav til at være hos mig, hun gav mig af Træet, og jeg aad.
13 Then God said to the woman, "What is this you have done?" The woman said, "The serpent deceived me, and I ate."
Da sagde Gud Herren til Kvinden: Hvi har du gjort dette? Og Kvinden sagde: Slangen forførte mig, og jeg aad.
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.
Da sagde Gud Herren til Slangen: Efterdi du gjorde dette, da vær forbandet fremfor alt Kvæget og fremfor alle vilde Dyr paa Marken; du skal gaa paa din Bug og æde Støv alle dit Livs Dage.
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."
Og jeg vil sætte Fjendskab imellem dig og imellem Kvinden og imellem din Sæd og imellem hendes Sæd; den skal sønderknuse dit Hoved, men du skal sønderknuse hans Hæl.
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."
Til Kvinden sagde han: Jeg vil meget mangfoldiggøre din Kummer og din Undfangelse, med Smerte skal du føde Børn; og din Attraa skal være til din Mand, men han skal herske over dig.
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.
Og til Adam sagde han: Efterdi du lød din Hustrus Røst og aad af det Træ, om hvilket jeg bød dig og sagde: Du skal ikke æde deraf, da være Jorden forbandet for din Skyld, med Kummer skal du æde deraf alle dit Livs Dage.
18 Thorns also and thistles will it bring forth to you; and you will eat the plants of the field.
Og den skal bære dig Torn og Tidsel, og du skal æde Urter paa Marken.
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."
I dit Ansigts Sved skal du æde dit Brød, indtil du bliver til Jord igen, thi deraf er du tagen; thi du er Støv, og du skal blive til Støv igen.
20 The man called his wife Eve, because she was the mother of all living.
Og Adam kaldte sin Hustrus Navn Eva, thi hun er bleven alle levendes Moder.
21 And God made clothing out of skins for Adam and for his wife, and clothed them.
Og Gud Herren gjorde Adam og hans Hustru Kjortler af Skind og iførte dem.
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."
Og Gud Herren sagde: Se, Adam er bleven som en af os til at kende godt og ondt; men nu, paa det han ikke skal udrække sin Haand og tage ogsaa af Livsens Træ og æde og leve evindeligen:
23 Therefore YHWH sent him out of the garden of Eden, to till the ground from which he was taken.
da forviste Gud Herren ham af Edens Have til at dyrke Jorden, som han var tagen af.
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.
Og han drev Mennesket ud og satte Keruber Østen for Edens Have med et blinkende Sværd, som vendte sig hid og did, til at vogte Vejen til Livsens Træ.
