Genesis 3
1 The snake was more cunning than all the other wild animals that Yahweh God had made. [One day Satan gave to] the snake [the ability to talk to the woman]. The snake said to her, “Did God really say to you, ‘Do not eat the fruit from any of the trees in the park/garden’?”
Or le serpent était plus rusé qu'aucun des animaux des champs que Yahvé Dieu avait faits. Il dit à la femme: « Dieu a-t-il vraiment dit: « Tu ne mangeras d'aucun arbre du jardin »? »
2 The woman replied, “[What God said was], ‘Do not eat the fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the park/garden or touch it. If you do that, you will die. But you can eat fruit from any of the other trees.’”
La femme dit au serpent: « Nous pouvons manger du fruit des arbres du jardin,
mais pas du fruit de l'arbre qui est au milieu du jardin. Dieu a dit: Vous n'en mangerez pas. Vous ne le toucherez pas, de peur que vous ne mouriez. »
4 The snake said to the woman, “No, you will certainly not die. God said that
Le serpent dit à la femme: « Tu ne mourras pas vraiment,
5 [only] because he knows that when you eat fruit from that tree, [you will understand new things. It will be as though] your eyes are opened [MET], and you will know what is good [to do] and what is evil [to do], just as God does.”
car Dieu sait que le jour où tu en mangeras, tes yeux s'ouvriront, et tu seras comme Dieu, connaissant le bien et le mal. »
6 The woman saw that the fruit on that tree was good to eat, and it was very beautiful, and she desired it because [she thought] it would make her wise. So she picked some of the fruit and ate it. Then she gave some to her husband, and he ate it.
La femme vit que l'arbre était bon pour la nourriture, qu'il était un plaisir pour les yeux et qu'il devait être désiré pour rendre sage, elle prit de ses fruits et en mangea. Elle en donna ensuite à son mari qui était avec elle, et il en mangea aussi.
7 Immediately [it was as though] their eyes were opened, and they realized that they were naked, so they were ashamed. So they [picked] some fig leaves and fastened them together to make clothes for themselves.
Leurs yeux s'ouvrirent, et ils connurent tous deux qu'ils étaient nus. Ils cousirent ensemble des feuilles de figuier, et se firent des couvertures.
8 [Late that afternoon], when a cool breeze was blowing, they heard the sound/footsteps of Yahweh as he was walking in the park/garden. So the man and his wife hid themselves among the bushes in the park/garden, [so that Yahweh God would not see them].
Ils entendirent la voix de Yahvé Dieu qui se promenait dans le jardin, à la fraîcheur du jour, et l'homme et sa femme se cachèrent de la présence de Yahvé Dieu parmi les arbres du jardin.
9 But Yahweh God called to the man, saying to him, “Why are you [trying to hide from me]?”
Yahvé Dieu appela l'homme et lui dit: « Où es-tu? »
10 The man replied, “I heard the sound of your [footsteps/walking] in the garden, and I was naked, so I was afraid and I hid myself.”
L'homme dit: « J'ai entendu ta voix dans le jardin, et j'ai eu peur, car j'étais nu; alors je me suis caché. »
11 God said, “How did you find out you were naked [RHQ]? It must be because you ate some of the fruit [from the tree] that I told you, ‘Do not eat its fruit.’” [RHQ]
Dieu dit: « Qui t'a dit que tu étais nu? As-tu mangé de l'arbre dont je t'ai interdit de manger? »
12 The man said, “You gave me this woman to be with me. She is the one who gave me some of the fruit from that tree, and so I ate it.”
L'homme dit: « La femme que tu as donnée pour être avec moi, elle m'a donné du fruit de l'arbre, et j'en ai mangé. »
13 Then Yahweh God said to the woman, “Why did you do such a thing?” The woman replied, “I ate some of the fruit because the snake deceived me.”
Yahvé Dieu dit à la femme: « Qu'as-tu fait? » La femme a dit: « Le serpent m'a séduite, et j'ai mangé. »
14 Then Yahweh God said to the snake, “Because you did this, of all the livestock and the wild animals, I will curse/punish you alone. As a result, you [and all other snakes] will scurry across the ground on your bellies, and so what you eat will have dirt [on it] as long as you live.
Yahvé Dieu dit au serpent, « Parce que tu as fait ça, vous êtes maudits par-dessus tout le bétail, et au-dessus de tous les animaux des champs. Tu iras sur ton ventre et tu mangeras de la poussière tous les jours de ta vie.
15 And I will cause you and the woman to act in a hostile way toward each other, and I will cause your brood and her descendants to act hostilely toward each other. You will strike at the heel [of one descendant] of hers, but he will strike your head.”
Je mettrai de l'hostilité entre toi et la femme, et entre ta descendance et sa descendance. Il va vous meurtrir la tête, et tu lui meurtriras le talon. »
16 Then Yahweh said to the woman, “You will have great pain when you give birth to children; you will suffer great pain as your children are being born [DOU]. You will greatly desire your husband [to show affection for you], but he will rule over you.”
Il dit à la femme, « Je multiplierai considérablement les douleurs de l'accouchement. Vous porterez des enfants dans la douleur. Ton désir sera pour ton mari, et il dominera sur vous. »
17 Then Yahweh said to the man, “You heeded what your wife said, and you ate some of the fruit [of the tree] concerning which I commanded you saying, ‘Do not eat it.’ So I will make it difficult [to grow things in] the ground because of what you did. You will have to work hard as long as you live to produce things from the ground to eat.
Il dit à Adam, « Parce que vous avez écouté la voix de votre femme, et ont mangé de l'arbre, sur lequel je vous ai dit: « Vous n'en mangerez pas ». le sol est maudit à cause de vous. Tu en mangeras avec beaucoup de peine tous les jours de ta vie.
18 Thornbushes and thistle plants and other weeds will grow [and prevent what you have planted from growing]. And for food, you will have to eat things that just grow in your fields.
Il vous donnera des épines et des chardons; et vous mangerez l'herbe des champs.
19 [All your life] you will sweat as you work hard to produce food to eat. Then you will die [EUP], and your [body will be buried] in the ground. [I made] you from soil, so when you [die and are buried your body will decay] and become soil again.”
Tu mangeras du pain à la sueur de ton visage jusqu'à ce que tu retournes à la terre, car tu en es sorti. Car vous êtes poussière, et vous retournerez à la poussière. »
20 [The man, whose name was] Adam, named his wife Eve, [which means ‘living’], because she became the ancestor of all living people.
L'homme appela sa femme Eve, car elle serait la mère de tous les vivants.
21 Then Yahweh God [killed some animals and] made clothes from their skins for Adam and his wife.
Yahvé Dieu fit des vêtements de peaux de bêtes pour Adam et sa femme, et les habilla.
22 Then Yahweh said, “Look! Those two have become like us because they know what is good [to do] and what is evil [to do]. So now, it will not be good if they reach out and pick and eat [some of the fruit from] the tree [which enables people who eat it] to live [forever]!”
Yahvé Dieu dit: « Voici que l'homme est devenu comme l'un de nous, il connaît le bien et le mal. Maintenant, de peur qu'il n'étende sa main, qu'il ne prenne aussi de l'arbre de vie, qu'il ne mange et qu'il ne vive éternellement.
23 So Yahweh God expelled the man and his wife from the garden of Eden. Yahweh God had created Adam from the ground, but now he forced him to till that ground [so that he could grow food to eat].
Yahvé Dieu le chassa du jardin d'Eden, pour qu'il cultive le sol dont il avait été pris.
24 After Yahweh expelled them, on the east side of the garden he placed (cherubim/creatures with wings) and [an angel holding] a flaming sword which flashed back and forth. He did that in order to block the entrance to the garden, so that people could not go back to the tree that enables people [who eat its fruit] to live [forever].
Il chassa l'homme, et il plaça des chérubins à l'est du jardin d'Eden, et une épée flamboyante qui se tournait de tous côtés, pour garder le chemin de l'arbre de vie.
