Бытие 3
1 Змий же бе мудрейший всех зверей сущих на земли, ихже сотвори Господь Бог. И рече змий жене: что яко рече Бог: да не ясте от всякаго древа райскаго?
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 И рече жена змию: от всякаго древа райскаго ясти будем:
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 от плода же древа, еже есть посреде рая, рече Бог, да не ясте от него, ниже прикоснетеся ему, да не умрете.
4 И рече змий жене: не смертию умрете:
The snake said to the woman, “No, you will certainly not die. God said that
5 ведяше бо Бог, яко в оньже аще день снесте от него, отверзутся очи ваши, и будете яко бози, ведяще доброе и лукавое.
[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 И виде жена, яко добро древо в снедь и яко угодно очима видети и красно есть, еже разумети: и вземши от плода его яде, и даде мужу своему с собою, и ядоста.
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 И отверзошася очи обема, и разумеша, яко нази беша: и сшиста листвие смоковное, и сотвориста себе препоясания.
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 И услышаста глас Господа Бога ходяща в раи по полудни: и скрыстася Адам же и жена его от лица Господа Бога посреде древа райскаго.
[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 И призва Господь Бог Адама и рече ему: Адаме, где еси?
But Yahweh God called to the man, saying to him, “Why are you [trying to hide from me]?”
10 И рече Ему: глас слышах Тебе ходяща в раи, и убояхся, яко наг есмь, и скрыхся.
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 И рече ему Бог: кто возвести тебе, яко наг еси, аще не бы от древа, егоже заповедах тебе сего единаго не ясти, от него ял еси?
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 И рече Адам: жена, юже дал еси со мною, та ми даде от древа, и ядох.
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 И рече Господь Бог жене: что сие сотворила еси? И рече жена: змий прельсти мя, и ядох.
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 И рече Господь Бог змию: яко сотворил еси сие, проклят ты от всех скотов и от всех зверей земных: на персех твоих и чреве ходити будеши, и землю снеси вся дни живота твоего:
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 и вражду положу между тобою и между женою, и между семенем твоим и между семенем тоя: той твою блюсти будет главу, и ты блюсти будеши его пяту.
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 И жене рече: умножая умножу печали твоя и воздыхания твоя: в болезнех родиши чада, и к мужу твоему обращение твое, и той тобою обладати будет.
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 И Адаму рече: яко послушал еси гласа жены твоея и ял еси от древа, егоже заповедах тебе сего единаго не ясти, от него ял еси: проклята земля в делех твоих, в печалех снеси тую вся дни живота твоего:
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 терния и волчцы возрастит тебе, и снеси траву селную:
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 в поте лица твоего снеси хлеб твой, дондеже возвратишися в землю, от неяже взят еси: яко земля еси, и в землю отидеши.
[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 И нарече Адам имя жене своей Жизнь, яко та мати всех живущих.
[The man, whose name was] Adam, named his wife Eve, [which means ‘living’], because she became the ancestor of all living people.
21 И сотвори Господь Бог Адаму и жене его ризы кожаны, и облече их.
Then Yahweh God [killed some animals and] made clothes from their skins for Adam and his wife.
22 И рече Бог: се, Адам бысть яко един от Нас, еже разумети доброе и лукавое: и ныне да не когда прострет руку свою и возмет от древа жизни и снест, и жив будет во век.
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 И изгна его Господь Бог из рая Сладости делати землю, от неяже взят бысть.
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 И изрину Адама, и всели его прямо рая Сладости: и пристави Херувима, и пламенное оружие обращаемое, хранити путь древа жизни.
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].
