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’?”
| مار از همهٔ حیواناتی که یهوه خدا ساخته بود، زیرکتر بود. روزی مار نزد زن آمده، به او گفت: «آیا حقیقت دارد که خدا شما را از خوردن میوهٔ تمام درختان باغ منع کرده است؟» |
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.’”
| زن در جواب گفت: «ما اجازه داریم از میوهٔ همهٔ درختان بخوریم، |
| به‌جز میوهٔ درختی که در وسط باغ است. خدا فرموده است که از میوهٔ آن درخت نخوریم و حتی به آن دست نزنیم و گرنه می‌میریم.» |
4 The snake said to the woman, “No, you will certainly not die. God said that
| مار گفت: «مطمئن باش نخواهید مُرد! |
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.”
| بلکه خدا خوب می‌داند زمانی که از میوهٔ آن درخت بخورید، چشمان شما باز می‌شود و مانند خدا می‌شوید و می‌توانید خوب را از بد تشخیص دهید.» |
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.
| آن درخت در نظر زن، زیبا آمد و با خود اندیشید: «میوهٔ این درختِ دلپذیر، می‌تواند، خوش طعم باشد و به من دانایی ببخشد.» پس از میوهٔ درخت چید و خورد و به شوهرش هم که با او بود داد و او نیز خورد. |
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.
| آنگاه چشمانِ هر دو باز شد و ناگهان متوجۀ برهنگی خود شده، احساس شرم کردند. پس با برگهای درختِ انجیر پوششی برای خود درست کردند. |
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].
| عصر همان روز وقتی آدم و زنش، صدای یهوه خدا را که در باغ راه می‌رفت شنیدند، خود را لابلای درختان پنهان کردند. |
9 But Yahweh God called to the man, saying to him, “Why are you [trying to hide from me]?”
| یهوه خدا آدم را ندا داد: «ای آدم، کجا هستی؟» |
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.”
| آدم جواب داد: «صدای تو را در باغ شنیدم و ترسیدم، زیرا برهنه بودم؛ پس خود را پنهان کردم.» |
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]
| خدا فرمود: «چه کسی به تو گفت که برهنه‌ای؟ آیا از میوهٔ آن درختی خوردی که به تو گفته بودم از آن نخوری؟» |
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.”
| آدم جواب داد: «این زن که یار من ساختی، از آن میوه به من داد و من هم خوردم.» |
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.”
| آنگاه یهوه خدا از زن پرسید: «این چه کاری بود که کردی؟» زن گفت: «مار مرا فریب داد.» |
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.
| پس یهوه خدا به مار فرمود: «به سبب انجام این کار، از تمام حیوانات وحشی و اهلی زمین ملعونتر خواهی بود. تا زنده‌ای روی شکمت خواهی خزید و خاک خواهی خورد. |
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.”
| بین تو و زن، و نیز بین نسل تو و نسل زن، خصومت می‌گذارم. نسلِ زنْ سر تو را خواهد کوبید و تو پاشنهٔ وی را خواهی زد.» |
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.”
| آنگاه به زن فرمود: «درد زایمان تو را زیاد می‌کنم و تو با درد فرزندان خواهی زایید. مشتاق شوهرت خواهی بود و او بر تو تسلط خواهد داشت.» |
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.
| سپس خداوند به آدم فرمود: «چون گفتهٔ زنت را پذیرفتی و از میوهٔ آن درختی خوردی که به تو گفته بودم از آن نخوری، زمین زیر لعنت قرار خواهد گرفت و تو تمام ایام عمرت با رنج و زحمت از آن کسب معاش خواهی کرد. |
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.
| از زمین خار و خاشاک برایت خواهد رویید و گیاهان صحرا را خواهی خورد. |
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.”
| تا آخر عمر به عرق پیشانی‌ات نان خواهی خورد و سرانجام به همان خاکی باز خواهی گشت که از آن گرفته شدی؛ زیرا تو از خاک سرشته شدی و به خاک هم برخواهی گشت.» |
20 [The man, whose name was] Adam, named his wife Eve, [which means ‘living’], because she became the ancestor of all living people.
| آدم، زن خود را حَوّا (یعنی «زندگی») نامید، چون او می‌بایست مادر همهٔ زندگان شود. |
21 Then Yahweh God [killed some animals and] made clothes from their skins for Adam and his wife.
| یهوه خدا لباسهایی از پوست حیوان تهیه کرد و آدم و زنش را پوشانید. |
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]!”
| سپس یهوه خدا فرمود: «حال که انسان مانند ما شده است و خوب و بد را می‌شناسد، مبادا دست خود را دراز کند و از میوهٔ”درخت حیات“نیز گرفته، بخورد و تا ابد زنده بماند.» |
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].
| پس یهوه خدا آنها را از باغ عدن بیرون راند، تا آدم برود و در زمینی که از خاکِ آن سرشته شده بود، کار کند. |
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].
| یهوه خدا پس از بیرون راندن آنها، در سمت شرقی باغ عدن کروبیانی قرار داد و نیز شمشیری آتشین در آن گذاشت که به هر طرف می‌چرخید، تا راه «درخت حیات» را محافظت کند. |
