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 le plus fin de tous les animaux des champs que l'Eternel Dieu avait faits; et il dit à la femme: Quoi! Dieu a dit, vous ne mangerez point de tout 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.’”
Et la femme répondit au serpent: Nous mangeons du fruit des arbres du jardin;
Mais quant au fruit de l'arbre qui est au milieu du jardin, Dieu a dit: Vous n'en mangerez point, et vous ne le toucherez point, de peur que vous ne mouriez.
4 The snake said to the woman, “No, you will certainly not die. God said that
Alors le serpent dit à la femme: Vous ne mourrez nullement;
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.”
Mais Dieu sait qu'au jour que vous en mangerez, vos yeux seront ouverts, et vous serez comme des Dieux, sachant 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 donc voyant que [le fruit] de l'arbre était bon à manger, et qu'il était agréable à la vue, et que [cet] arbre était désirable pour donner de la science, en prit du fruit, et en mangea, et elle en donna aussi à son mari [qui était] avec elle, et il en mangea.
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.
Et les yeux de tous deux furent ouverts; ils connurent qu'ils étaient nus, et ils cousirent ensemble des feuilles de figuier, et s'en firent des ceintures.
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].
Alors ils ouïrent au vent du jour la voix de l'Eternel Dieu qui se promenait par le jardin; et Adam et sa femme se cachèrent de devant l'Eternel 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]?”
Mais l'Eternel Dieu appela Adam, 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.”
Et il répondit: J'ai entendu ta voix dans le jardin, et j'ai craint, parce que j'étais nu, et 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]
Et [Dieu] dit: Qui t'a montré que tu [étais] nu? N'as-tu pas mangé [du fruit] de l'arbre dont je t'avais défendu 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.”
Et Adam répondit: La femme que tu m'as donnée [pour être] avec moi, 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.”
Et l'Eternel Dieu dit à la femme: Pourquoi as-tu fait cela? Et la femme répondit: Le serpent m'a séduite, et j'en 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.
Alors l'Eternel Dieu dit au serpent: Parce que tu as fait cela, tu seras maudit entre tout le bétail, et entre toutes les bêtes des champs; tu marcheras sur ton ventre, et tu mangeras 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.”
Et je mettrai inimitié entre toi et la femme, et entre ta semence et la semence de la femme; cette [semence] te brisera la tête, et tu lui briseras 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.”
[Et] il dit à la femme: J'augmenterai beaucoup ton travail et ta grossesse; tu enfanteras en travail les enfants; tes désirs se [rapporteront] à ton mari, et il dominera sur toi.
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.
Puis il dit à Adam: Parce que tu as obéi à la parole de ta femme, et que tu as mangé [du fruit] de l'arbre duquel je t'avais commandé, en disant: Tu n'en mangeras point, la terre sera maudite à cause de toi; tu en mangeras [les fruits] en travail, 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.
Et elle te produira des épines, et des chardons; et tu mangeras 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 le pain à la sueur de ton visage, jusqu'à ce que tu retournes en la terre, car tu en as été pris; parce que tu es poudre, tu retourneras aussi en poudre.
20 [The man, whose name was] Adam, named his wife Eve, [which means ‘living’], because she became the ancestor of all living people.
Et Adam appela sa femme Eve; parce qu'elle a été la mère de tous les vivants.
21 Then Yahweh God [killed some animals and] made clothes from their skins for Adam and his wife.
Et l'Eternel Dieu fit à Adam et à sa femme des robes de peaux, et les en revêtit.
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]!”
Et l'Eternel Dieu dit: Voici, l'homme est devenu comme l'un de nous, sachant le bien et le mal; mais maintenant [il faut prendre garde] qu'il n'avance sa main, et aussi qu'il ne prenne de l'arbre de vie, et qu'il n'en mange, et ne vive à toujours.
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].
Et l'Eternel Dieu le mit hors du jardin d'Héden, pour labourer la terre, de laquelle 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].
Ainsi il chassa l'homme, et mit des Chérubins vers l'Orient du jardin d'Héden, avec une lame d'épée qui se tournait çà et là, pour garder le chemin de l'arbre de vie.
