< Postanak 3 >

1 Ali zmija bješe lukava mimo sve zvijeri poljske, koje stvori Gospod Bog; pa reèe ženi: je li istina da je Bog kazao da ne jedete sa svakoga drveta u vrtu?
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 A žena reèe zmiji: mi jedemo roda sa svakoga drveta u vrtu;
And the woman said to the serpent, "Of the fruit of the trees of the garden we may eat,
3 Samo roda s onoga drveta usred vrta, kazao je Bog, ne jedite i ne dirajte u nj, da ne umrete.
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 A zmija reèe ženi: neæete vi umrijeti;
The serpent said to the woman, "You won't surely die,
5 Nego zna Bog da æe vam se u onaj dan kad okusite s njega otvoriti oèi, pa æete postati kao bogovi i znati što je dobro što li zlo.
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 I žena videæi da je rod na drvetu dobar za jelo i da ga je milina gledati i da je drvo vrlo drago radi znanja, uzabra roda s njega i okusi, pa dade i mužu svojemu, te i on okusi.
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 Tada im se otvoriše oèi, i vidješe da su goli; pa spletoše lišæa smokova i naèiniše sebi pregaèe.
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 I zaèuše glas Gospoda Boga, koji iðaše po vrtu kad zahladi; i sakri se Adam i žena mu ispred Gospoda Boga meðu drveta u vrtu.
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 A Gospod Bog viknu Adama i reèe mu: gdje si?
So God called to the man, and said to him, "Where are you?"
10 A on reèe: èuh glas tvoj u vrtu, pa se poplaših, jer sam go, te se sakrih.
And he said, "I heard your voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; so I hid myself."
11 A Bog reèe: ko ti kaza da si go? da nijesi jeo s onoga drveta što sam ti zabranio da ne jedeš s njega?
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 A Adam reèe: žena koju si udružio sa mnom, ona mi dade s drveta, te jedoh.
The man said, "The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I ate."
13 A Gospod Bog reèe ženi: zašto si to uèinila? A žena odgovori: zmija me prevari, te jedoh.
Then God said to the woman, "What is this you have done?" The woman said, "The serpent deceived me, and I ate."
14 Tada reèe Gospod Bog zmiji: kad si to uèinila, da si prokleta mimo svako živinèe i mimo sve zvijeri poljske; na trbuhu da se vuèeš i prah da jedeš do svojega vijeka.
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 I još meæem neprijateljstvo izmeðu tebe i žene i izmeðu sjemena tvojega i sjemena njezina; ono æe ti na glavu stajati a ti æeš ga u petu ujedati.
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 A ženi reèe: tebi æu mnoge muke zadati kad zatrudniš, s mukama æeš djecu raðati, i volja æe tvoja stajati pod vlašæu muža tvojega, i on æe ti biti gospodar.
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 Pa onda reèe Adamu: što si poslušao ženu i okusio s drveta s kojega sam ti zabranio rekavši da ne jedeš s njega, zemlja da je prokleta s tebe; s mukom æeš se od nje hraniti do svojega vijeka;
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 Trnje i korov æe ti raðati, a ti æeš jesti zelje poljsko;
Thorns also and thistles will it bring forth to you; and you will eat the plants of the field.
19 Sa znojem lica svojega ješæeš hljeb, dokle se ne vratiš u zemlju od koje si uzet; jer si prah, i u prah æeš se vratiti.
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 I Adam nadjede ženi svojoj ime Jeva, zato što je ona mati svjema živima.
The man called his wife Eve, because she was the mother of all living.
21 I naèini Gospod Bog Adamu i ženi njegovoj haljine od kože, i obuèe ih u njih.
And God made clothing out of skins for Adam and for his wife, and clothed them.
22 I reèe Gospod Bog: eto, èovjek posta kao jedan od nas znajuæi što je dobro što li zlo; ali sada da ne pruži ruke svoje i uzbere i s drveta od života, i okusi, te dovijeka živi.
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 I Gospod Bog izagna ga iz vrta Edemskoga da radi zemlju, od koje bi uzet;
Therefore the LORD sent him out of the garden of Eden, to till the ground from which he was taken.
24 I izagnav èovjeka postavi pred vrtom Edemskim heruvima s plamenijem maèem, koji se vijaše i tamo i amo, da èuva put ka drvetu od života.
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.
