< 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?
耶和华 神所造的,惟有蛇比田野一切的活物更狡猾。蛇对女人说:“神岂是真说不许你们吃园中所有树上的果子吗?”
2 To whom the womman answerde, We eten of the fruyt of trees that ben in paradis;
女人对蛇说:“园中树上的果子,我们可以吃,
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.
惟有园当中那棵树上的果子, 神曾说:‘你们不可吃,也不可摸,免得你们死。’”
4 Forsothe the serpent seide to the womman, ye schulen not die bi deeth;
蛇对女人说:“你们不一定死;
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.
因为 神知道,你们吃的日子眼睛就明亮了,你们便如 神能知道善恶。”
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.
于是女人见那棵树的果子好作食物,也悦人的眼目,且是可喜爱的,能使人有智慧,就摘下果子来吃了,又给她丈夫,她丈夫也吃了。
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.
他们二人的眼睛就明亮了,才知道自己是赤身露体,便拿无花果树的叶子为自己编做裙子。
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.
天起了凉风,耶和华 神在园中行走。那人和他妻子听见 神的声音,就藏在园里的树木中,躲避耶和华 神的面。
9 And the Lord God clepide Adam, and seide to hym, Where art thou?
耶和华 神呼唤那人,对他说:“你在哪里?”
10 And Adam seide, Y herde thi vois in paradijs, and Y drede, for Y was nakid, and Y hidde me.
他说:“我在园中听见你的声音,我就害怕;因为我赤身露体,我便藏了。”
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?
耶和华说:“谁告诉你赤身露体呢?莫非你吃了我吩咐你不可吃的那树上的果子吗?”
12 And Adam seide, The womman which thou yauest felowe to me, yaf me of the tre, and Y eet.
那人说:“你所赐给我、与我同居的女人,她把那树上的果子给我,我就吃了。”
13 And the Lord seide to the womman, Whi didist thou this thing? Which answerde, The serpent disseyued me, and Y eet.
耶和华 神对女人说:“你做的是什么事呢?”女人说:“那蛇引诱我,我就吃了。”
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;
耶和华 神对蛇说: 你既做了这事,就必受咒诅, 比一切的牲畜野兽更甚; 你必用肚子行走, 终身吃土。
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.
我又要叫你和女人彼此为仇; 你的后裔和女人的后裔也彼此为仇。 女人的后裔要伤你的头; 你要伤他的脚跟。
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.
又对女人说: 我必多多加增你怀胎的苦楚; 你生产儿女必多受苦楚。 你必恋慕你丈夫; 你丈夫必管辖你。
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;
又对亚当说: 你既听从妻子的话, 吃了我所吩咐你不可吃的那树上的果子, 地必为你的缘故受咒诅; 你必终身劳苦才能从地里得吃的。
18 it schal brynge forth thornes and breris to thee, and thou schalt ete eerbis of the erthe;
地必给你长出荆棘和蒺藜来; 你也要吃田间的菜蔬。
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.
你必汗流满面才得糊口, 直到你归了土, 因为你是从土而出的。 你本是尘土,仍要归于尘土。
20 And Adam clepide the name of his wijf Eue, for sche was the moder of alle men lyuynge.
亚当给他妻子起名叫夏娃,因为她是众生之母。
21 And the Lord God made cootis of skynnys to Adam and Eue his wijf, and clothide hem; and seide, Lo!
耶和华 神为亚当和他妻子用皮子做衣服给他们穿。
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.
耶和华 神说:“那人已经与我们相似,能知道善恶;现在恐怕他伸手又摘生命树的果子吃,就永远活着。”
23 And the Lord God sente hym out of paradijs of likyng, that he schulde worche the erthe, of which he was takun.
耶和华 神便打发他出伊甸园去,耕种他所自出之土。
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.
于是把他赶出去了;又在伊甸园的东边安设基路伯和四面转动发火焰的剑,要把守生命树的道路。
