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 il serpente era astuto più che qualunque [altra] bestia della campagna, che il Signore Iddio avesse fatta. Ed esso disse alla donna: Ha pure Iddio detto: Non mangiate [del frutto] di tutti gli alberi del giardino?
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.’”
E la donna disse al serpente: Noi possiamo mangiare del frutto degli alberi del giardino.
Ma del frutto dell'albero, ch'[è] in mezzo del giardino, Iddio ha detto: Non ne mangiate, e nol toccate, chè non muoiate.
4 The snake said to the woman, “No, you will certainly not die. God said that
E il serpente disse alla donna: Voi non morreste punto.
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.”
Ma Iddio sa che, nel giorno che voi ne mangereste, i vostri occhi si aprirebbero; onde sareste come dii, avendo conoscenza del bene e del male.
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 donna adunque, veggendo che il frutto dell'albero [era] buono a mangiare, e ch'[era] dilettevole a vedere e che l'albero [era] desiderabile per avere intelletto, prese del frutto, e ne mangiò, e ne diede ancora al suo marito, [acciocchè ne mangiasse] seco. Ed egli ne mangiò.
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.
Allora gli occhi di amendue loro si apersero, e conobbero ch'erano ignudi; onde cucirono insieme delle foglie di fico, e se ne fecero delle coperte da cignersi attorno.
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].
Poi, all'aura del dì, udirono la voce del Signore Iddio che camminava per lo giardino. E Adamo, con la sua moglie, si nascose dal cospetto del Signore Iddio, per mezzo gli alberi del giardino.
9 But Yahweh God called to the man, saying to him, “Why are you [trying to hide from me]?”
E il Signore Iddio chiamò Adamo, e gli disse: Ove sei?
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.”
Ed egli disse: Io intesi la tua voce per lo giardino, e temetti, perciocchè io era ignudo; e mi nascosi.
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]
E [Iddio] disse: Chi ti ha mostrato che tu [fossi] ignudo? Hai tu mangiato [del frutto] dell'albero, del quale io ti avea vietato di mangiare?
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.”
E Adamo disse: La donna, che tu hai posta meco, è quella che mi ha dato [del frutto] dell'albero, ed io ne ho mangiato.
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.”
E il Signore Iddio disse alla donna: Che cosa [è] questo [che] tu hai fatto? E la donna rispose: Il serpente mi ha sedotta, ed io ho mangiato [di quel frutto].
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.
Allora il Signore Iddio disse al serpente: Perciocchè tu hai fatto questo, [sii] maledetto sopra ogni [altro] animale, e sopra ogni [altra] bestia della campagna; tu camminerai in sul tuo ventre, e mangerai la polvere tutti i giorni della tua vita.
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.”
Ed io metterò inimicizia fra te e la donna, e fra la tua progenie e la progenie di essa; essa [progenie] ti triterà il capo e tu le ferirai il calcagno.
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.”
[Poi] disse alla donna: Io accrescerò grandemente i dolori del tuo parto e della tua gravidanza; tu partorirai figliuoli con dolori, e i tuoi desiderii [dipenderanno] dal tuo marito, ed egli signoreggerà sopra te.
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.
E ad Adamo disse: Perciocchè tu hai atteso alla voce della tua moglie, ed hai mangiato [del frutto] dell'albero, del quale io ti avea data questo comandamento: Non mangiarne: la terra [sarà] maledetta per cagion tua; tu mangerai [del frutto] di essa con affanno, tutti i giorni della tua vita.
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.
Ed ella ti produrrà spine e triboli; e tu mangerai l'erba de' campi.
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 mangerai il pane col sudor del tuo volto, fin che tu ritorni in terra; conciossiachè tu ne sii stato tolto; perciocchè tu [sei] polvere, tu ritornerai altresì in polvere.
20 [The man, whose name was] Adam, named his wife Eve, [which means ‘living’], because she became the ancestor of all living people.
E Adamo pose nome Eva alla sua moglie; perciocchè ella è stata madre di tutti i viventi.
21 Then Yahweh God [killed some animals and] made clothes from their skins for Adam and his wife.
E il Signore Iddio fece delle toniche di pelle ad Adamo ed alla sua moglie; e li vestì.
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]!”
Poi il Signore Iddio disse: Ecco, l'uomo è divenuto come uno di noi, avendo conoscenza del bene e del male; ora adunque [e' si convien provvedere] che talora egli non istenda la mano, e non prenda ancora [del frutto] dell'albero della vita, e ne mangi, e viva in perpetuo.
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].
Perciò il Signore Iddio mandò l'uomo fuor del giardino di Eden, per lavorar la terra, dalla quale era stato tolto.
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].
Così egli cacciò l'uomo, e pose dei Cherubini davanti al giardino di Eden, con una spada fiammeggiante che si vibrava in giro, per guardar la via dell'albero della vita.
