< Genesis 3 >
1 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made: and he said to the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
Zmija bijaše lukavija od sve zvjeradi što je stvori Jahve, Bog. Ona reče ženi: “Zar vam je Bog rekao da ne smijete jesti ni s jednog drveta u vrtu?”
2 And the woman said to the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:
Žena odgovori zmiji: “Plodove sa stabala u vrtu smijemo jesti.
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.
Samo za plod stabla što je nasred vrta rekao je Bog: 'Da ga niste jeli! I ne dirajte u nj, da ne umrete!'”
4 And the serpent said to the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
Nato će zmija ženi: “Ne, nećete umrijeti!
5 For God doth know, that in the day ye eat of it, then your eyes shall be opened: and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
Nego, zna Bog: onog dana kad budete s njega jeli, otvorit će vam se oči, i vi ćete biti kao bogovi koji razlučuju dobro i zlo.”
6 And when the woman saw that the tree [was] good for food, and that it [was] pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make [one] wise; she took of its fruit, and ate, and gave also to her husband with her, and he ate.
Vidje žena da je stablo dobro za jelo, za oči zamamljivo, a za mudrost poželjno: ubere ploda njegova i pojede. Dade i svom mužu, koji bijaše s njom, pa je i on jeo.
7 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they [were] naked: and they sewed fig-leaves together, and made for themselves aprons.
Tada se obadvoma otvore oči i upoznaju da su goli. Spletu smokova lišća i naprave sebi pregače.
8 And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden.
Uto čuju korak Jahve, Boga, koji je šetao vrtom za dnevnog povjetarca. I sakriju se - čovjek i njegova žena - pred Jahvom, Bogom, među stabla u vrtu.
9 And the LORD God called to Adam, and said to him, Where [art] thou?
Jahve, Bog, zovne čovjeka: “Gdje si?” - reče mu.
10 And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden: and I was afraid, because I [was] naked; and I hid myself.
On odgovori: “Čuo sam tvoj korak po vrtu; pobojah se jer sam go, pa se sakrih.”
11 And he said, Who told thee that thou [wast] naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree of which I commanded thee, that thou shouldest not eat?
Nato mu reče: “Tko ti kaza da si go? Ti si, dakle, jeo sa stabla s kojega sam ti zabranio jesti?”
12 And the man said, The woman, whom thou gavest [to be] with me, she gave me of the tree, and I ate.
Čovjek odgovori: “Žena koju si stavio uza me - ona mi je dala sa stabla pa sam jeo.”
13 And the LORD God said to the woman, What [is] this [that] thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I ate.
Jahve, Bog, reče ženi: “Što si to učinila?” “Zmija me prevarila pa sam jela”, odgovori žena.
14 And the LORD God said to the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou [art] cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field: upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:
Nato Jahve, Bog, reče zmiji: “Kad si to učinila, prokleta bila među svim životinjama i svom zvjeradi divljom! Po trbuhu svome puzat ćeš i zemlju jesti sveg života svog!
15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed: it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
Neprijateljstvo ja zamećem između tebe i žene, između roda tvojeg i roda njezina: on će ti glavu satirati, a ti ćeš mu vrebati petu.”
16 To the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children: and thy desire [shall be] to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.
A ženi reče: “Trudnoći tvojoj muke ću umnožit, u mukama djecu ćeš rađati. Žudnja će te mužu tjerati, a on će gospodariti nad tobom.”
17 And to Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened to the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed [is] the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat [of] it all the days of thy life;
A čovjeku reče: “Jer si poslušao glas svoje žene te jeo sa stabla s kojega sam ti zabranio jesti rekavši: S njega da nisi jeo! - evo: Zemlja neka je zbog tebe prokleta: s trudom ćeš se od nje hraniti svega vijeka svog!
18 Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field;
Rađat će ti trnjem i korovom, a hranit ćeš se poljskim raslinjem.
19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou shalt return to the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou [art], and to dust shalt thou return.
U znoju lica svoga kruh svoj ćeš jesti dokle se u zemlju ne vratiš: tÓa iz zemlje uzet si bio - prah si, u prah ćeš se i vratiti.”
20 And Adam called his wife's name Eve, because she was the mother of all living.
Svojoj ženi čovjek nadjene ime Eva, jer je majka svima živima.
21 For Adam also and for his wife the LORD God made coats of skins, and clothed them.
I načini Jahve, Bog, čovjeku i njegovoj ženi odjeću od krzna pa ih odjenu.
22 And the LORD God said, Behold, the man hath become as one of us, to know good and evil. And now, lest he should put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:
Zatim reče Bog: “Evo, čovjek postade kao jedan od nas - znajući dobro i zlo! Da ne bi sada pružio ruku, ubrao sa stabla života pa pojeo i živio navijeke!”
23 Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from which he was taken.
Zato ga Jahve, Bog, istjera iz vrta edenskoga da obrađuje zemlju iz koje je i uzet.
24 So he drove out the man: and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubim, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.
Istjera, dakle, čovjeka i nastani ga istočno od vrta edenskog, pa postavi kerubine i plameni mač koji se svjetlucao - da straže nad stazom koja vodi k stablu života.
