Gênesis 3
1 Ora a serpente era mais astuta que todas as alimárias do campo que o Senhor Deus tinha feito. E esta disse à mulher: É assim que Deus disse: Não comereis de toda a árvore do jardim?
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 E disse a mulher à serpente: Do fruto das árvores do jardim comeremos,
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 Mas do fruto da árvore que está no meio do jardim, disse Deus: Não comereis dele, nem nele tocareis para que não morrais.
4 Então a serpente disse à mulher: Certamente não morrereis.
The snake said to the woman, “No, you will certainly not die. God said that
5 Porque Deus sabe que no dia em que dele comerdes se abrirão os vossos olhos, e sereis como Deus, sabendo o bem e o mal.
[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 E viu a mulher que aquela árvore era boa para se comer, e agradável aos olhos, e árvore desejável para dar entendimento; tomou do seu fruto, e comeu, e deu também a seu marido consigo, e ele comeu.
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 Então foram abertos os olhos de ambos, e conheceram que estavam nus; e coseram folhas de figueira, e fizeram para si aventais.
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 E ouviram a voz do Senhor Deus, que passeava no jardim pela viração do dia: e escondeu-se Adão e sua mulher da presença do Senhor Deus, entre as árvores do jardim.
[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 E chamou o Senhor Deus a Adão, e disse-lhe: Onde estás?
But Yahweh God called to the man, saying to him, “Why are you [trying to hide from me]?”
10 E ele disse: Ouvi a tua voz soar no jardim, e temi, porque estava nú, e escondi-me.
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 E Deus disse: Quem te mostrou que estavas nu? Comeste tu da árvore de que te ordenei que não comesses?
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 Então disse Adão; A mulher que me deste por companheira, ela me deu da árvore, e comi.
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 E disse o Senhor Deus à mulher: Porque fizeste isto? E disse a mulher A serpente me enganou, e eu comi.
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 Então o Senhor Deus disse à serpente: Porquanto fizeste isto, maldita serás mais que toda a besta, e mais que todos os animais do campo: sobre o teu ventre andarás, e pó comerás todos os dias da tua vida.
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 E porei inimizade entre ti e a mulher, e entre a tua semente e a sua semente: esta te ferirá a cabeça, e tu lhe ferirás o calcanhar.
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 E à mulher disse: Multiplicarei grandemente a tua dor, e a tua conceição; com dor parirás filhos; e o teu desejo será para o teu marido, e ele te dominará.
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 E a Adão disse: Porquanto deste ouvidos à voz de tua mulher, e comeste da árvore de que te ordenei, dizendo: Não comerás dela: maldita é a terra por causa de ti; com dor comerás dela todos os dias da tua vida.
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 Espinhos, e cardos também, te produzirá; e comerás a erva do campo.
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 No suor do teu rosto comerás o teu pão, até que te tornes à terra; porque dela foste tomado: porquanto és pó, e em pó te tornarás.
[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 E chamou Adão o nome de sua mulher, Eva; porquanto ela era a mãe de todos os viventes.
[The man, whose name was] Adam, named his wife Eve, [which means ‘living’], because she became the ancestor of all living people.
21 E fez o Senhor Deus a Adão e a sua mulher túnicas de peles, e os vestiu.
Then Yahweh God [killed some animals and] made clothes from their skins for Adam and his wife.
22 Então disse o Senhor Deus: Eis que o homem é como um de Nós, sabendo o bem e o mal; ora, pois, para que não estenda a sua mão, e tome também da árvore da vida, e coma e viva eternamente:
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 O Senhor Deus, pois, o enviou fora do jardim do Éden, para lavrar a terra de que fôra tomado.
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 E havendo lançado fora o homem, pôs cherubins ao oriente do jardim do Éden, e uma espada inflamada que andava ao redor, para guardar o caminho da árvore da vida.
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].
