< Kejadian 3 >
1 Adapun ular ialah yang paling cerdik dari segala binatang di darat yang dijadikan oleh TUHAN Allah. Ular itu berkata kepada perempuan itu: "Tentulah Allah berfirman: Semua pohon dalam taman ini jangan kamu makan buahnya, bukan?"
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 Lalu sahut perempuan itu kepada ular itu: "Buah pohon-pohonan dalam taman ini boleh kami makan,
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 tetapi tentang buah pohon yang ada di tengah-tengah taman, Allah berfirman: Jangan kamu makan ataupun raba buah itu, nanti kamu mati."
4 Tetapi ular itu berkata kepada perempuan itu: "Sekali-kali kamu tidak akan mati,
The snake said to the woman, “No, you will certainly not die. God said that
5 tetapi Allah mengetahui, bahwa pada waktu kamu memakannya matamu akan terbuka, dan kamu akan menjadi seperti Allah, tahu tentang yang baik dan 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 buah pohon itu baik untuk dimakan dan sedap kelihatannya, lagipula pohon itu menarik hati karena memberi pengertian. Lalu ia mengambil dari buahnya dan dimakannya dan diberikannya juga kepada suaminya yang bersama-sama dengan dia, dan suaminyapun 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 Maka terbukalah mata mereka berdua dan mereka tahu, bahwa mereka telanjang; lalu mereka menyemat daun pohon ara dan membuat cawat.
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 Ketika mereka mendengar bunyi langkah TUHAN Allah, yang berjalan-jalan dalam taman itu pada waktu hari sejuk, bersembunyilah manusia dan isterinya itu terhadap TUHAN Allah di antara pohon-pohonan dalam taman.
[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 memanggil manusia itu dan berfirman kepadanya: "Di manakah engkau?"
But Yahweh God called to the man, saying to him, “Why are you [trying to hide from me]?”
10 Ia menjawab: "Ketika aku mendengar, bahwa Engkau ada dalam taman ini, aku menjadi takut, karena aku telanjang; sebab itu aku bersembunyi."
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 Firman-Nya: "Siapakah yang memberitahukan kepadamu, bahwa engkau telanjang? Apakah engkau makan dari buah pohon, 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 Manusia itu menjawab: "Perempuan yang Kautempatkan di sisiku, dialah yang memberi dari buah pohon itu kepadaku, maka kumakan."
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 Kemudian berfirmanlah TUHAN Allah kepada perempuan itu: "Apakah yang telah kauperbuat ini?" Jawab perempuan itu: "Ular itu yang memperdayakan aku, maka kumakan."
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 Lalu berfirmanlah TUHAN Allah kepada ular itu: "Karena engkau berbuat demikian, terkutuklah engkau di antara segala ternak dan di antara segala binatang hutan; dengan perutmulah engkau akan menjalar dan debu tanahlah akan kaumakan 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 Aku akan mengadakan permusuhan antara engkau dan perempuan ini, antara keturunanmu dan keturunannya; keturunannya akan meremukkan kepalamu, dan engkau akan meremukkan tumitnya."
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 Firman-Nya kepada perempuan itu: "Susah payahmu waktu mengandung akan Kubuat sangat banyak; dengan kesakitan engkau akan melahirkan anakmu; namun engkau akan berahi kepada suamimu dan ia akan berkuasa atasmu."
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 firman-Nya kepada manusia itu: "Karena engkau mendengarkan perkataan isterimu dan memakan dari buah pohon, yang telah Kuperintahkan kepadamu: Jangan makan dari padanya, maka terkutuklah tanah karena engkau; dengan bersusah payah engkau akan mencari rezekimu dari tanah seumur hidupmu:
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 duri dan rumput duri yang akan dihasilkannya bagimu, dan tumbuh-tumbuhan di padang 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 dengan berpeluh engkau akan mencari makananmu, sampai engkau kembali lagi menjadi tanah, karena dari situlah engkau diambil; sebab engkau debu dan engkau akan kembali menjadi debu."
[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 Manusia itu memberi nama Hawa kepada isterinya, sebab dialah yang menjadi ibu semua yang hidup.
[The man, whose name was] Adam, named his wife Eve, [which means ‘living’], because she became the ancestor of all living people.
21 Dan TUHAN Allah membuat pakaian dari kulit binatang untuk manusia dan untuk isterinya itu, lalu mengenakannya kepada mereka.
Then Yahweh God [killed some animals and] made clothes from their skins for Adam and his wife.
22 Berfirmanlah TUHAN Allah: "Sesungguhnya manusia itu telah menjadi seperti salah satu dari Kita, tahu tentang yang baik dan yang jahat; maka sekarang jangan sampai ia mengulurkan tangannya dan mengambil pula dari buah pohon kehidupan itu dan memakannya, sehingga ia 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 Lalu TUHAN Allah mengusir dia dari taman Eden supaya ia mengusahakan tanah dari mana ia diambil.
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 Ia menghalau manusia itu dan di sebelah timur taman Eden ditempatkan-Nyala beberapa kerub dengan pedang yang bernyala-nyala dan menyambar-nyambar, untuk menjaga jalan ke pohon kehidupan.
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].
