< Genesis 3 >

1 But and the serpent was feller than alle lyuynge beestis of erthe, whiche the Lord God hadde maad. Which serpent seide to the womman, Why comaundide God to you, that ye schulden not ete of ech tre of paradis?
وَكَانَتِ الْحَيَّةُ أَمْكَرَ وُحُوشِ الْبَرِّيَّةِ الَّتِي صَنَعَهَا الرَّبُّ الإِلَهُ، فَسَأَلَتِ الْمَرْأَةَ: «أَحَقّاً أَمَرَكُمَا اللهُ أَلَّا تَأْكُلَا مِنْ جَمِيعِ شَجَرِ الْجَنَّةِ؟»١
2 To whom the womman answerde, We eten of the fruyt of trees that ben in paradis;
فَأَجَابَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ: «يُمْكِنُنَا أَنْ نَأْكُلَ مِنْ ثَمَرِ الْجَنَّةِ كُلِّهَا،٢
3 sothely God commaundide to vs, that we schulden not eate of the fruyt of the tre, which is in the myddis of paradijs, and that we schulden not touche it, lest perauenture we dien.
مَاعَدَا ثَمَرَ الشَّجَرَةِ الَّتِي فِي وَسَطِهَا، فَقَدْ قَالَ اللهُ: لَا تَأْكُلَا مِنْهُ وَلَا تَلْمَسَاهُ وَإلَّا تَمُوتَا».٣
4 Forsothe the serpent seide to the womman, ye schulen not die bi deeth;
فَقَالَتِ الْحَيَّةُ لِلْمَرْأَةِ: «لَنْ تَمُوتَا،٤
5 for whi God woot that in what euere dai ye schulen ete therof, youre iyen schulen be opened, and ye schulen be as Goddis, knowynge good and yuel.
بَلْ إِنَّ اللهَ يَعْرِفُ أَنَّهُ يَوْمَ تَأْكُلانِ مِنْ ثَمَرِ هَذِهِ الشَّجَرَةِ تَنْفَتِحُ أَعْيُنُكُمَا فَتَصِيرَانِ مِثْلَهُ، قَادِرَيْنِ عَلَى التَّمْيِيزِ بَيْنَ الْخَيْرِ وَالشَّرِّ».٥
6 Therfore the womman seiy that the tre was good, and swete to ete, and fair to the iyen, and delitable in bi holdyng; and sche took of the fruyt therof, and eet, and yaf to hir hosebande, and he eet.
وَعِنْدَمَا شَاهَدَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ أَنَّ الشَّجَرَةَ لَذِيذَةٌ لِلْمَأْكَلِ وَشَهِيَّةٌ لِلْعُيُونِ، وَمُثِيرَةٌ لِلنَّظَرِ قَطَفَتْ مِنْ ثَمَرِهَا وَأَكَلَتْ، ثُمَّ أَعْطَتْ زَوْجَهَا أَيْضاً فَأَكَلَ مَعَهَا،٦
7 And the iyen of bothe weren openid; and whanne thei knowen that thei weren nakid, thei sewden the leeues of a fige tre, and maden brechis to hem silf.
فَانْفَتَحَتْ لِلْحَالِ أَعْيُنُهُمَا، وَأَدْرَكَا أَنَّهُمَا عُرْيَانَانِ، فَخَاطَا لأَنْفُسِهِمَا مَآزِرَ مِنْ أَوْرَاقِ التِّينِ.٧
8 And whanne thei herden the vois of the Lord God goynge in paradijs at the wynd after myddai, Adam and his wijf hidden hem fro the face of the Lord God in the middis of the tre of paradijs.
ثُمَّ سَمِعَ الزَّوْجَانِ صَوْتَ الرَّبِّ الإِلَهِ وَهُوَ يَمْشِي فِي الْجَنَّةِ عِنْدَ هُبُوبِ رِيحِ النَّهَارِ، فَاخْتَبَآ مِنْ حَضْرَةِ الرَّبِّ الإِلَهِ بَيْنَ شَجَرِ الْجَنَّةِ.٨
9 And the Lord God clepide Adam, and seide to hym, Where art thou?
فَنَادَى الرَّبُّ الإِلَهُ آدَمَ: «أَيْنَ أَنْتَ؟»٩
10 And Adam seide, Y herde thi vois in paradijs, and Y drede, for Y was nakid, and Y hidde me.
فَأَجَابَ: «سَمِعْتُ صَوْتَكَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ فَاخْتَبَأْتُ خِشْيَةً مِنْكَ لأَنِّي عُرْيَانٌ».١٠
11 To whom the Lord seide, Who forsothe schewide to thee that thou were nakid, no but for thou hast ete of the tre of which Y comaundide to thee that thou schuldist not ete?
فَسَأَلَهُ: «مَنْ قَالَ لَكَ إِنَّكَ عُرْيَانٌ؟ هَلْ أَكَلْتَ مِنْ ثَمَرِ الشَّجَرَةِ الَّتِي نَهَيْتُكَ عَنْهَا؟»١١
12 And Adam seide, The womman which thou yauest felowe to me, yaf me of the tre, and Y eet.
فَأَجَابَ آدَمُ: «إِنَّهَا الْمَرْأَةُ الَّتِي جَعَلْتَهَا رَفِيقَةً لِي. هِيَ الَّتِي أَطْعَمَتْنِي مِنْ ثَمَرِ الشَّجَرَةِ، فَأَكَلْتُ».١٢
13 And the Lord seide to the womman, Whi didist thou this thing? Which answerde, The serpent disseyued me, and Y eet.
فَسَأَلَ الرَّبُّ الإِلَهُ الْمَرْأَةَ: «مَاذَا فَعَلْتِ؟» فَأَجَابَتْ: «أَغْوَتْنِي الْحَيَّةُ فَأَكَلْتُ».١٣
14 And the Lord God seide to the serpent, For thou didist this, thou schalt be cursid among alle lyuynge thingis and vnresonable beestis of erthe; thou schalt go on thi brest, and thou schalt ete erthe in alle daies of thi liif;
فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ الإِلَهُ لِلْحَيَّةِ: «لأَنَّكِ فَعَلْتِ هَذَا، مَلْعُونَةٌ أَنْتِ مِنْ بَيْنَ جَمِيعِ الْبَهَائِمِ وَمِنْ جَمِيعِ وُحُوشِ الْبَرِّيَّةِ، عَلَى بَطْنِكِ تَسْعَيْنَ، وَمِنَ التُّرَابِ تَأْكُلِينَ طَوَالَ حَيَاتِكِ،١٤
15 Y schal sette enemytees bitwixe thee and the womman, and bitwixe thi seed and hir seed; sche schal breke thin heed, and thou schalt sette aspies to hir heele.
وَأُثِيرُ عَدَاوَةً دَائِمَةً بَيْنَكِ وَبَيْنَ الْمَرْأَةِ، وَكَذَلِكَ بَيْنَ نَسْلَيْكُمَا. هُوَ يَسْحَقُ رَأْسَكِ وَأَنْتِ تَلْدَغِينَ عَقِبَهُ».١٥
16 Also God seide to the womman, Y schal multiplie thi wretchidnessis and thi conseyuyngis; in sorewe thou schalt bere thi children; and thou schalt be vndur power of the hosebonde, and he schal be lord of thee.
ثُمَّ قَالَ لِلْمَرْأَةِ: «أُكَثِّرُ تَكْثِيراً أَوْجَاعَ مَخَاضِكِ فَتُنْجِبِينَ بِالآلَامِ أَوْلَاداً، وَإِلَى زَوْجِكِ يَكُونُ اشْتِيَاقُكِ وَهُوَ يَتَسَلَّطُ عَلَيْكِ».١٦
17 Sothely God seyde to Adam, For thou herdist the voys of thi wijf, and hast ete of the tree, of which Y comaundide to thee that thou schuldist not ete, the erthe schal be cursid in thi werk; in traueylis thou schalt ete therof in alle daies of thi lijf;
وَقَالَ لِآدَمَ: «لأَنَّكَ أَذْعَنْتَ لِقَوْلِ امْرَأَتِكَ، وَأَكَلْتَ مِنَ الشَّجَرَةِ الَّتِي نَهَيْتُكَ عَنْهَا، فَالأَرْضُ مَلْعُونَةٌ بِسَبَبِكَ وَبِالْمَشَقَّةِ تَقْتَاتُ مِنْهَا طَوَالَ عُمْرِكَ.١٧
18 it schal brynge forth thornes and breris to thee, and thou schalt ete eerbis of the erthe;
شَوْكاً وَحَسَكاً تُنْبِتُ لَكَ، وَأَنْتَ تَأْكُلُ عُشْبَ الْحَقْلِ.١٨
19 in swoot of thi cheer thou schalt ete thi breed, til thou turne ayen in to the erthe of which thou art takun; for thou art dust, and thou schalt turne ayen in to dust.
بِعَرَقِ جَبِينِكَ تَكْسَبُ عَيْشَكَ حَتَّى تَعُودَ إِلَى الأَرْضِ، فَمِنْ تُرَابٍ أُخِذْتَ، وَإِلَى تُرَابٍ تَعُودُ».١٩
20 And Adam clepide the name of his wijf Eue, for sche was the moder of alle men lyuynge.
وَسَمَّى آدَمُ زَوْجَتَهُ «حَوَّاءَ» لأَنَّهَا أُمُّ كُلِّ حَيٍّ.٢٠
21 And the Lord God made cootis of skynnys to Adam and Eue his wijf, and clothide hem; and seide, Lo!
وَكَسَا الرَّبُّ الإِلَهُ آدَمَ وَزَوْجَتَهُ رِدَاءَيْنِ مِنْ جِلْدٍ صَنَعَهُمَا لَهُمَا.٢١
22 Adam is maad as oon of vs, and knowith good and yuel; now therfore se ye, lest perauenture he putte his hond, and take of the tre of lijf, and ete, and lyue with outen ende.
ثُمَّ قَالَ الرَّبُّ الإِلَهُ: «هَا الإِنْسَانُ قَدْ صَارَ كَوَاحِدٍ مِنَّا، يُمَيِّزُ بَيْنَ الْخَيْرِ وَالشَّرِّ. وَقَدْ يَمُدُّ يَدَهُ وَيَتَنَاوَلُ مِنْ شَجَرَةِ الْحَيَاةِ وَيَأْكُلُ، فَيَحْيَا إِلَى الأَبَدِ».٢٢
23 And the Lord God sente hym out of paradijs of likyng, that he schulde worche the erthe, of which he was takun.
فَأَخْرَجَهُ مِنْ جَنَّةِ عَدْنٍ لِيَفْلَحَ الأَرْضَ الَّتِي أُخِذَ مِنْ تُرَابِهَا.٢٣
24 And God castide out Adam, and settide bifore paradis of lykyng cherubyn, and a swerd of flawme and turnynge aboute to kepe the weie of the tre of lijf.
وَهَكَذَا طَرَدَ اللهُ الإِنْسَانَ مِنْ جَنَّةِ عَدْنٍ، وَأَقَامَ مَلائِكَةَ الْكَرُوبِيمِ وَسَيْفاً نَارِيًّا مُتَقَلِّباً شَرْقِيَّ الْجَنَّةِ لِحِرَاسَةِ الطَّرِيقِ الْمُفْضِيَةِ إِلَى «شَجَرَةِ الْحَيَاةِ».٢٤
