< Genesis 3 >

1 And the serpent hath been subtile above every beast of the field which Jehovah God hath made, and he saith unto the woman, 'Is it true that God hath said, Ye do 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 saith unto the serpent, 'Of the fruit of the trees of the garden we do eat,
Žena odgovori zmiji: “Plodove sa stabala u vrtu smijemo jesti.
3 and of the fruit of the tree which [is] in the midst of the garden God hath said, Ye do not eat of it, nor 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 saith unto the woman, 'Dying, ye do not die,
Nato će zmija ženi: “Ne, nećete umrijeti!
5 for God doth know that in the day of your eating of it — your eyes have been opened, and ye have been as God, 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 the woman seeth that the tree [is] good for food, and that it [is] pleasant to the eyes, and the tree is desirable to make [one] wise, and she taketh of its fruit and eateth, and giveth also to her husband with her, and he doth eat;
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 are opened, and they know that they [are] naked, and they sew fig-leaves, and make to themselves girdles.
Tada se obadvoma otvore oči i upoznaju da su goli. Spletu smokova lišća i naprave sebi pregače.
8 And they hear the sound of Jehovah God walking up and down in the garden at the breeze of the day, and the man and his wife hide themselves from the face of Jehovah God in the midst of 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 Jehovah God calleth unto the man, and saith to him, 'Where [art] thou?'
Jahve, Bog, zovne čovjeka: “Gdje si?” - reče mu.
10 and he saith, 'Thy sound I have heard in the garden, and I am afraid, for I am naked, and I hide myself.'
On odgovori: “Čuo sam tvoj korak po vrtu; pobojah se jer sam go, pa se sakrih.”
11 And He saith, 'Who hath declared to thee that thou [art] naked? of the tree of which I have commanded thee not to eat, hast thou eaten?'
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 saith, 'The woman whom Thou didst place with me — she hath given to me of the tree — and I do eat.'
Čovjek odgovori: “Žena koju si stavio uza me - ona mi je dala sa stabla pa sam jeo.”
13 And Jehovah God saith to the woman, 'What [is] this thou hast done?' and the woman saith, 'The serpent hath caused me to forget — and I do eat.'
Jahve, Bog, reče ženi: “Što si to učinila?” “Zmija me prevarila pa sam jela”, odgovori žena.
14 And Jehovah God saith unto the serpent, 'Because thou hast done this, cursed [art] thou above all the cattle, and above every beast of the field: on thy belly dost thou go, and dust thou dost eat, all 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 enmity I put between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; he doth bruise thee — the head, and thou dost bruise him — the 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 Unto the woman He said, 'Multiplying I multiply thy sorrow and thy conception, in sorrow dost thou bear children, and toward thy husband [is] thy desire, and he doth 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 the man He said, 'Because thou hast hearkened to the voice of thy wife, and dost eat of the tree concerning which I have charged thee, saying, Thou dost not eat of it, cursed [is] the ground on thine account; in sorrow thou dost eat of it all 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 and thorn and bramble it doth bring forth to thee, and thou hast eaten the herb of the field;
Rađat će ti trnjem i korovom, a hranit ćeš se poljskim raslinjem.
19 by the sweat of thy face thou dost eat bread till thy return unto the ground, for out of it hast thou been taken, for dust thou [art], and unto dust thou turnest back.'
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 the man calleth his wife's name Eve: for she hath been mother of all living.
Svojoj ženi čovjek nadjene ime Eva, jer je majka svima živima.
21 And Jehovah God doth make to the man and to his wife coats of skin, and doth clothe them.
I načini Jahve, Bog, čovjeku i njegovoj ženi odjeću od krzna pa ih odjenu.
22 And Jehovah God saith, 'Lo, the man was as one of Us, as to the knowledge of good and evil; and now, lest he send forth his hand, and have taken also of the tree of life, and eaten, and lived to the age,' —
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 Jehovah God sendeth him forth from the garden of Eden to serve the ground from which he hath been taken;
Zato ga Jahve, Bog, istjera iz vrta edenskoga da obrađuje zemlju iz koje je i uzet.
24 yea, he casteth out the man, and causeth to dwell at the east of the garden of Eden the cherubs and the flame of the sword which is turning itself round to guard 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.
