創世記 3
1 ヱホバ神の造りたまひし野の生物の中に蛇最も狡猾し蛇婦に言ひけるは神眞に汝等園の諸の樹の果は食ふべからずと言たまひしや
Now the serpent was more crafty than any beast of the field that the LORD God had made. And he said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden?’”
2 婦蛇に言けるは我等園の樹の果を食ふことを得
The woman answered the serpent, “We may eat the fruit of the trees of the garden,
3 然ど園の中央に在樹の果實をば神汝等之を食ふべからず又之に捫るべからず恐は汝等死んと言給へり
but about the fruit of the tree in the middle of the garden, God has said, ‘You must not eat of it or touch it, or you will die.’”
4 蛇婦に言けるは汝等必らず死る事あらじ
“You will not surely die,” the serpent told her.
5 神汝等が之を食ふ日には汝等の目開け汝等神の如くなりて善惡を知に至るを知りたまふなりと
“For God knows that in the day you eat of it, your eyes will be opened and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”
6 婦樹を見ば食に善く目に美麗しく且智慧からんが爲に慕はしき樹なるによりて遂に其果實を取て食ひ亦之を己と偕なる夫に與へければ彼食へり
When the woman saw that the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eyes, and that it was desirable for obtaining wisdom, she took the fruit and ate it. She also gave some to her husband who was with her, and he ate it.
7 是において彼等の目倶に開て彼等其裸體なるを知り乃ち無花果樹の葉を綴て裳を作れり
And the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked; so they sewed together fig leaves and made coverings for themselves.
8 彼等園の中に日の清涼き時分歩みたまふヱホバ神の聲を聞しかばアダムと其妻即ちヱホバ神の面を避て園の樹の間に身を匿せり
Then the man and his wife heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the breeze of the day, and they hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God among the trees of the garden.
9 ヱホバ神アダムを召て之に言たまひけるは汝は何處にをるや
But the LORD God called out to the man, “Where are you?”
10 彼いひけるは我園の中に汝の聲を聞き裸體なるにより懼れて身を匿せりと
“I heard Your voice in the garden,” he replied, “and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid myself.”
11 ヱホバ言たまひけるは誰が汝の裸なるを汝に告しや汝は我が汝に食ふなかれと命じたる樹の果を食ひたりしや
“Who told you that you were naked?” asked the LORD God. “Have you eaten from the tree of which I commanded you not to eat?”
12 アダム言けるは汝が與て我と偕ならしめたまひし婦彼其樹の果實を我にあたへたれば我食へりと
And the man answered, “The woman whom You gave me, she gave me fruit from the tree, and I ate it.”
13 ヱホバ神婦に言たまひけるは汝がなしたる此事は何ぞや婦言けるは蛇我を誘惑して我食へりと
Then the LORD God said to the woman, “What is this you have done?” “The serpent deceived me,” she replied, “and I ate.”
14 ヱホバ神蛇に言たまひけるは汝是を爲たるに因て汝は諸の家畜と野の諸の獸よりも勝りて詛はる汝は腹行て一生の間塵を食ふべし
So the LORD God said to the serpent: “Because you have done this, cursed are you above all livestock and every beast of the field! On your belly will you go, and dust you will eat, all the days of your life.
15 又我汝と婦の間および汝の苗裔と婦の苗裔の間に怨恨を置ん彼は汝の頭を碎き汝は彼の踵を碎かん
And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed. He will crush your head, and you will strike his heel.”
16 又婦に言たまひけるは我大に汝の懷姙の劬勞を増すべし汝は苦みて子を產ん又汝は夫をしたひ彼は汝を治めん
To the woman He said: “I will sharply increase your pain in childbirth; in pain you will bring forth children. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you.”
17 又アダムに言たまひけるは汝その妻の言を聽て我が汝に命じて食ふべからずと言たる樹の果を食ひしに縁て土は汝のために詛はる汝は一生のあひだ勞苦て其より食を得ん
And to Adam He said: “Because you have listened to the voice of your wife and have eaten from the tree of which I commanded you not to eat, cursed is the ground because of you; through toil you will eat of it all the days of your life.
18 土は荊棘と薊とを汝のために生ずべしまた汝は野の草蔬を食ふべし
Both thorns and thistles it will yield for you, and you will eat the plants of the field.
19 汝は面に汗して食物を食ひ終に土に歸らん其は其中より汝は取れたればなり汝は塵なれば塵に皈るべきなりと
By the sweat of your brow you will eat your bread, until you return to the ground— because out of it were you taken. For dust you are, and to dust you shall return.”
20 アダム其妻の名をヱバと名けたり其は彼は群の生物の母なればなり
And Adam named his wife Eve, because she would be the mother of all the living.
21 ヱホバ神アダムと其妻のために皮衣を作りて彼等に衣せたまへり
And the LORD God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife, and He clothed them.
22 ヱホバ神曰たまひけるは視よ夫人我等の一の如くなりて善惡を知る然ば恐くは彼其手を舒べ生命の樹の果實をも取りて食ひ限無生んと
Then the LORD God said, “Behold, the man has become like one of Us, knowing good and evil. And now, lest he reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life, and eat, and live forever...”
23 ヱホバ神彼をエデンの園よりいだし其取て造られたるところの土を耕さしめたまへり
Therefore the LORD God banished him from the Garden of Eden to work the ground from which he had been taken.
24 斯神其人を逐出しエデンの園の東にケルビムと自から旋轉る焔の劍を置て生命の樹の途を保守りたまふ
So He drove out the man and stationed cherubim on the east side of the Garden of Eden, along with a whirling sword of flame to guard the way to the tree of life.
