< 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 shrewd than any of the wild animals which God had made. And he said to the woman, "Has God really said, 'You shall not eat of any tree of the garden?'"
2 婦蛇に言けるは我等園の樹の果を食ふことを得
And the woman said to the serpent, "Of the fruit of the trees of the garden we may eat,
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 of the fruit of the tree which is in the middle of the garden, God has said, 'You shall not eat of it, neither shall you touch it, lest you die.'"
4 蛇婦に言けるは汝等必らず死る事あらじ
The serpent said to the woman, "You won't surely die,
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 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 that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took of its fruit, and ate, and she also gave some to her husband who was with her, and he ate.
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
The eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked. So they sewed fig leaves together, 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
They heard the voice of God walking in the garden during the breeze of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of 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
So God called to the man, and said to him, "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
And he said, "I heard your voice in the garden, 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
And he said, "Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?"
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
The man said, "The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I ate."
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 God said to the woman, "What is this you have done?" The woman said, "The serpent deceived me, 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 God said to the serpent, "Because you have done this, cursed are you above every tame animal, and above every wild animal. On your belly you shall go, and you shall eat dust 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
I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring. He will bruise your head, and you will bruise 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
And to the woman he said, "I will greatly multiply 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
To Adam he said, "Because you have listened to your wife's voice, and have eaten of the tree, of which I commanded you, saying, 'You shall not eat of it,' cursed is the ground for your sake. In 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
Thorns also and thistles will it bring forth to 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 face will you eat bread until you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken. For you are dust, 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
The man called his wife Eve, because she was the mother of all 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 God made clothing out of skins for Adam and for his wife, and 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 God said, "Look, the man has become like one of us, knowing good and evil. So now, let us send him out, lest he reach out his hand and also take of 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 YHWH sent him out of the garden of Eden, to till the ground from which he was 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 he stationed the cherubim at the east of the garden of Eden, and a flaming sword which turned every direction, to guard the way to the tree of life.
