< Genesis 3 >

1 Now, the serpent, was more crafty than any living thing of the field which Yahweh God had made, so he said unto the woman, Can it really be that God hath 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, —Of the fruit of the trees of the garden, we may eat;
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 die,
فَقَالَتِ ٱلْحَيَّةُ لِلْمَرْأَةِ: «لَنْ تَمُوتَا!٤
5 For God doth know, that in the day ye eat thereof, then shall your eyes be opened, —and ye shall become like God, 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 desirable to the eyes and the tree was pleasant to make one knowing, then took she of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and she gave to her husband also, along 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 Then were opened the eyes of them both, and they knew that, naked, they were, —so they tacked together fig-leaves, and made for themselves girdles,
فَٱنْفَتَحَتْ أَعْيُنُهُمَا وَعَلِمَا أَنَّهُمَا عُرْيَانَانِ. فَخَاطَا أَوْرَاقَ تِينٍ وَصَنَعَا لِأَنْفُسِهِمَا مَآزِرَ.٧
8 Then heard they the sound of Yahweh God, walking to and fro in the garden at the breeze of the day, —so he hid himself—the man with his wife, from the face of Yahweh God, amid 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 Yahweh God called unto the man, —and said to him, Where art thou?
فَنَادَى ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْإِلَهُ آدَمَ وَقَالَ لَهُ: «أَيْنَ أَنْتَ؟».٩
10 And he said, The sound of thee, heard I in the garden, and I was afraid, for, naked, was I, so I hid myself.
فَقَالَ: «سَمِعْتُ صَوْتَكَ فِي ٱلْجَنَّةِ فَخَشِيتُ، لِأَنِّي عُرْيَانٌ فَٱخْتَبَأْتُ».١٠
11 And he said, Who told thee that, naked, thou wast? Of the tree whereof I commanded thee not to eat, hast thou eaten?
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 didst put with me, she, gave me of the tree, so I did eat.
فَقَالَ آدَمُ: «ٱلْمَرْأَةُ ٱلَّتِي جَعَلْتَهَا مَعِي هِيَ أَعْطَتْنِي مِنَ ٱلشَّجَرَةِ فَأَكَلْتُ».١٢
13 Then said Yahweh God to the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, the serpent, deceived me, so I did eat.
فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْإِلَهُ لِلْمَرْأَةِ: «مَا هَذَا ٱلَّذِي فَعَلْتِ؟» فَقَالَتِ ٱلْمَرْأَةُ: «ٱلْحَيَّةُ غَرَّتْنِي فَأَكَلْتُ».١٣
14 Then said Yahweh God unto the serpent—Because thou hast done this, Accursed, art thou above every tame-beast, and above every wild-beast of the field, —on 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 enmity, will I put between thee, and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed, —He shall crush thy head, but, thou, shalt crush 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, increase, thy pain of pregnancy, In pain, shalt thou bear children, —Yet, unto thy husband, shall be thy longing, Though, he, rule over thee.
وَقَالَ لِلْمَرْأَةِ: «تَكْثِيرًا أُكَثِّرُ أَتْعَابَ حَبَلِكِ، بِٱلْوَجَعِ تَلِدِينَ أَوْلَادًا. وَإِلَى رَجُلِكِ يَكُونُ ٱشْتِيَاقُكِ وَهُوَ يَسُودُ عَلَيْكِ».١٦
17 And, to the man, he said, Because thou didst hearken to the voice of thy wife, and so didst eat of the tree as to which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it, Accursed be the ground for thy sake, In pain, 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 Thorn also and thistle, shall it shoot forth to thee, —when thou hast come to eat of the herb of the field:
وَشَوْكًا وَحَسَكًا تُنْبِتُ لَكَ، وَتَأْكُلُ عُشْبَ ٱلْحَقْلِ.١٨
19 In the sweat of thy face, shalt thou eat bread, until thou return to the ground, because therefrom, 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 So the man called the name of his wife, Eve, —in that, she, was made mother of every one living.
وَدَعَا آدَمُ ٱسْمَ ٱمْرَأَتِهِ «حَوَّاءَ» لِأَنَّهَا أُمُّ كُلِّ حَيٍّ.٢٠
21 And Yahweh God made for the man—and for his wife—tunics of skin and clothed them.
وَصَنَعَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْإِلَهُ لِآدَمَ وَٱمْرَأَتِهِ أَقْمِصَةً مِنْ جِلْدٍ وَأَلْبَسَهُمَا.٢١
22 Then said Yahweh God—Lo! man, hath become like one of us, in respect of knowing good and evil, —Now, therefore, lest he thrust forth his hand, and take even of the tree of life, and eat, and live to times age-abiding, —
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 So Yahweh God put him forth from the garden of Eden, —to till the ground wherefrom he had been taken.
فَأَخْرَجَهُ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْإِلَهُ مِنْ جَنَّةِ عَدْنٍ لِيَعْمَلَ ٱلْأَرْضَ ٱلَّتِي أُخِذَ مِنْهَا.٢٣
24 So he expelled the man, —and caused to dwell—in front of the garden of Eden—cherubim and a brandishing sword—flame, to keep the way to the tree of life.
فَطَرَدَ ٱلْإِنْسَانَ، وَأَقَامَ شَرْقِيَّ جَنَّةِ عَدْنٍ ٱلْكَرُوبِيمَ، وَلَهِيبَ سَيْفٍ مُتَقَلِّبٍ لِحِرَاسَةِ طَرِيقِ شَجَرَةِ ٱلْحَيَاةِ.٢٤
