1 Mosebok 3
1 Men slangen var listigere enn alle dyr på marken som Gud Herren hadde gjort, og den sa til kvinnen: Har Gud virkelig sagt: I skal ikke ete av noget tre i haven?
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 Og kvinnen sa til slangen: Vi kan ete av frukten på trærne i haven;
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 men om frukten på det tre som er midt i haven, har Gud sagt: I skal ikke ete av den og ikke røre ved den, for da skal I dø.
4 Da sa slangen til kvinnen: I skal visselig ikke dø;
The snake said to the woman, “No, you will certainly not die. God said that
5 for Gud vet at på den dag I eter av det, skal eders øine åpnes, og I skal bli likesom Gud og kjenne godt og ondt.
[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 Og kvinnen så at treet var godt å ete av, og at det var en lyst for øinene, og at det var et prektig tre, siden en kunde få forstand av det, og hun tok av frukten og åt; og hun gav sin mann med sig, og han åt.
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 Da blev begges øine åpnet, og de blev var at de var nakne, og de heftet fikenblad sammen og bandt dem om livet.
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 Og de hørte Gud Herren som vandret i haven, da dagen var blitt kjølig; og Adam og hans hustru skjulte sig for Gud Herrens åsyn mellem trærne i haven.
[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 Da kalte Gud Herren på Adam og sa til ham: Hvor er du?
But Yahweh God called to the man, saying to him, “Why are you [trying to hide from me]?”
10 Og han svarte: Jeg hørte dig i haven; da blev jeg redd, fordi jeg var naken, og jeg skulte mig.
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 Da sa han: Hvem har sagt dig at du er naken? Har du ett av det tre som jeg forbød dig å ete av?
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 Og Adam sa: Kvinnen som du gav mig til å være hos mig, hun gav mig av treet, og jeg åt.
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 Da sa Gud Herren til kvinnen: Hvad er det du har gjort! Og kvinnen sa: Slangen dåret mig, og jeg åt.
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 Da sa Gud Herren til slangen: Fordi du gjorde dette, så skal du være forbannet blandt alt feet og blandt alle de ville dyr. På din buk skal du krype, og støv skal du ete alle ditt livs dager.
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 Og jeg vil sette fiendskap mellem dig og kvinnen og mellem din ætt og hennes ætt; den skal knuse ditt hode, men du skal knuse dens hæl.
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 Til kvinnen sa han: Jeg vil gjøre din møie stor i ditt svangerskap; med smerte skal du føde dine barn, og til din mann skal din attrå stå, og han skal råde over dig.
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 Og til Adam sa han: Fordi du lød din hustru og åt av det tre som jeg forbød dig å ete av, så skal jorden være forbannet for din skyld! Med møie skal du nære dig av den alle ditt livs dager.
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 Torner og tistler skal den bære dig, og du skal ete urtene på marken.
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 I ditt ansikts sved skal du ete ditt brød, inntil du vender tilbake til jorden, for av den er du tatt; for støv er du, og til støv skal du vende tilbake.
[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 Og Adam kalte sin hustru Eva, fordi hun er alle levendes mor.
[The man, whose name was] Adam, named his wife Eve, [which means ‘living’], because she became the ancestor of all living people.
21 Og Gud Herren gjorde kjortler av skinn til Adam og hans hustru og klædde dem med.
Then Yahweh God [killed some animals and] made clothes from their skins for Adam and his wife.
22 Og Gud Herren sa: Se, mennesket er blitt som en av oss til å kjenne godt og ondt; bare han nu ikke rekker ut sin hånd og tar også av livsens tre og eter og lever til evig tid!
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 Så viste Gud Herren ham ut av Edens have og satte ham til å dyrke jorden, som han var tatt av.
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 Og han drev mennesket ut, og foran Edens have satte han kjerubene med det luende sverd som vendte sig hit og dit, for å vokte veien til livsens tre.
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].
