Kejadian 3
1 Ular adalah binatang yang paling licik dari segala binatang yang dibuat oleh TUHAN Allah. Ular itu bertanya kepada perempuan itu, "Apakah Allah benar-benar melarang kalian makan buah-buahan dari segala pohon di taman ini?"
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’?”
2 "Kami boleh makan buah-buahan dari setiap pohon di dalam taman ini," jawab perempuan itu,
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.’”
3 "kecuali dari pohon yang ada di tengah-tengah taman. Allah melarang kami makan buah dari pohon itu ataupun menyentuhnya; jika kami melakukannya, kami akan mati."
4 Ular itu menjawab, "Itu tidak benar; kalian tidak akan mati.
The snake said to the woman, “No, you will certainly not die. God said that
5 Allah mengatakan itu karena dia tahu jika kalian makan buah itu, pikiran kalian akan terbuka; kalian akan menjadi seperti Allah dan mengetahui apa yang baik dan apa yang jahat."
[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.”
6 Perempuan itu melihat bahwa pohon itu indah, dan buahnya nampaknya enak untuk dimakan. Dan ia berpikir alangkah baiknya jika dia menjadi arif. Sebab itu ia memetik buah pohon itu, lalu memakannya, dan memberi juga kepada suaminya, dan suaminya pun memakannya.
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.
7 Segera sesudah makan buah itu, pikiran mereka terbuka dan mereka sadar bahwa mereka telanjang. Sebab itu mereka menutupi tubuh mereka dengan daun ara yang mereka rangkaikan.
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.
8 Petang itu mereka mendengar TUHAN Allah berjalan di dalam taman, lalu mereka berdua bersembunyi di antara pohon-pohon supaya tidak dilihat oleh TUHAN.
[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].
9 Tetapi TUHAN Allah berseru kepada laki-laki itu, "Di manakah engkau?"
But Yahweh God called to the man, saying to him, “Why are you [trying to hide from me]?”
10 Laki-laki itu menjawab, "Saya mendengar Engkau di taman; saya takut, jadi saya bersembunyi karena telanjang."
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.”
11 "Siapa yang mengatakan kepadamu bahwa engkau telanjang?" Allah bertanya. "Apakah engkau makan buah yang Kularang engkau makan itu?"
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]
12 Laki-laki itu menjawab, "Perempuan yang Engkau berikan untuk menemani saya, telah memberi buah itu kepada saya, lalu saya memakannya."
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.”
13 TUHAN Allah bertanya kepada perempuan itu, "Mengapa kaulakukan itu?" Jawabnya, "Saya ditipu ular, sehingga saya makan buah itu."
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.”
14 Sesudah itu TUHAN Allah berkata kepada ular itu, "Engkau akan dihukum karena perbuatanmu itu; dari segala binatang hanya engkau saja yang harus menanggung kutukan ini: Mulai sekarang engkau akan menjalar dengan perutmu, dan makan debu seumur hidupmu.
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.
15 Engkau dan perempuan itu akan saling membenci, keturunannya dan keturunanmu akan selalu bermusuhan. Keturunannya akan meremukkan kepalamu, dan engkau akan menggigit tumit mereka."
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.”
16 Lalu kata TUHAN kepada perempuan itu, "Aku akan menambah kesakitanmu selagi engkau hamil dan pada waktu engkau melahirkan. Tetapi meskipun demikian, engkau masih tetap berahi kepada suamimu, namun engkau akan tunduk kepadanya."
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.”
17 Lalu kata TUHAN kepada laki-laki itu, "Engkau mendengarkan kata-kata istrimu lalu makan buah yang telah Kularang engkau makan. Karena perbuatanmu itu, terkutuklah tanah. Engkau harus bekerja keras seumur hidupmu agar tanah ini bisa menghasilkan cukup makanan bagimu.
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.
18 Semak dan duri akan dihasilkan tanah ini bagimu, dan tumbuh-tumbuhan liar akan menjadi makananmu.
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.
19 Engkau akan bekerja dengan susah payah dan berkeringat untuk membuat tanah ini menghasilkan sesuatu, sampai engkau kembali kepada tanah, sebab dari tanahlah engkau dibentuk. Engkau dijadikan dari tanah, dan akan kembali ke tanah."
[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.”
20 Adam menamakan istrinya Hawa, karena perempuan itu menjadi ibu seluruh umat manusia.
[The man, whose name was] Adam, named his wife Eve, [which means ‘living’], because she became the ancestor of all living people.
21 Maka TUHAN Allah membuat pakaian dari kulit binatang untuk Adam dan istrinya, lalu mengenakan-Nya kepada mereka.
Then Yahweh God [killed some animals and] made clothes from their skins for Adam and his wife.
22 TUHAN Allah berkata, "Sekarang manusia telah menjadi seperti Kita dan mempunyai pengetahuan tentang yang baik dan yang jahat. Jadi perlu dicegah dia makan buah pohon yang memberi hidup, supaya dia jangan hidup untuk selama-lamanya."
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]!”
23 Maka TUHAN Allah mengusir manusia dari taman Eden dan menyuruhnya mengusahakan tanah yang menjadi asalnya itu.
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].
24 Kemudian, di sebelah timur taman itu di depan pintu masuk, TUHAN Allah menempatkan kerub-kerub, dan sebilah pedang berapi yang berputar ke segala arah, untuk menjaga jalan ke pohon yang memberi hidup itu. Dengan demikian tak seorang pun dapat masuk dan mendekati pohon itu.
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].
