Génesis 3
1 La serpiente, que era el más astuto de todos los animales del campo que Yahvé Dios había hecho, dijo a la mujer: “¿Cómo es que Dios ha mandado “No comáis de ningún árbol del jardín”?”
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 Respondió la mujer a la Serpiente: “Podemos comer del fruto de los árboles del jardín;
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 del fruto del árbol que está en medio del jardín, ha dicho Dios: “No comáis de él, ni lo toquéis, no sea que muráis”.
4 Replicó la serpiente a la mujer: “De ninguna manera moriréis;
The snake said to the woman, “No, you will certainly not die. God said that
5 pues bien sabe Dios que el día en que comiereis de él, se os abrirán los ojos y seréis como Dios, conocedores del bien y del 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 Y como viese la mujer que el árbol era bueno para comida y una delicia para los ojos, y que el árbol era apetecible para alcanzar sabiduría, tomó de su fruto y comió y dio también a su marido (que estaba) con ella, y él comió también.
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 Efectivamente se les abrieron a entrambos los ojos, y se dieron cuenta de que estaba desnudos; por lo cual cosieron hojas de higuera y se hicieron delantales.
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 Cuando oyeron el rumor de Yahvé Dios que se paseaba en el jardín al tiempo de la brisa del día, Adán y su mujer se ocultaron de la vista de Yahvé Dios por entre los árboles del jardín.
[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 Yahvé Dios llamó a Adán y le dijo: “¿Dónde estás?”
But Yahweh God called to the man, saying to him, “Why are you [trying to hide from me]?”
10 Este contestó: “Oí tu paso por el jardín y tuve miedo, porque estoy desnudo; por eso me escondí”.
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 Mas Él dijo: “¿Quién te ha dicho que estás desnudo? ¿Has comido acaso del árbol del cual te prohibí comer?”
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 Respondió Adán: “La mujer que me diste por compañera me dio del árbol, y comí.”
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 Dijo luego Yahvé Dios a la mujer: “¿Qué es lo que has hecho?” Y contestó la mujer: “La serpiente me engañó, y comí.”
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 Entonces dijo Yahvé Dios a la serpiente: “Por haber hecho esto, serás maldita como ninguna otra bestia doméstica o salvaje. Sobre tu vientre caminarás, y polvo comerás todos los días de tu 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 Y pondré enemistad entre ti y la mujer, y entre tu linaje y su linaje: este te aplastará la cabeza, y tú le aplastarás el calcañar.”
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 Después dijo a la mujer: “Multiplicaré tus dolores y tus preñeces; con dolor darás hijos a luz; te sentirás atraída por tu marido, pero él 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 A Adán le dijo: “Por haber escuchado la voz de tu mujer y comido del árbol del que Yo te había prohibido comer, será maldita la tierra por tu causa; con doloroso trabajo te alimentarás de ella todos los días de tu 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 te producirá espinas y abrojos, y comerás de las hierbas del 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 Con el sudor de tu rostro comerás el pan, hasta que vuelvas a la tierra; pues de ella fuiste tomado. Polvo eres y al polvo volverás.”
[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 Adán puso a su mujer el nombre de Eva, por ser ella la madre de todos los vivientes.
[The man, whose name was] Adam, named his wife Eve, [which means ‘living’], because she became the ancestor of all living people.
21 E hizo Yahvé Dios para Adán y su mujer túnicas de pieles y los vistió.
Then Yahweh God [killed some animals and] made clothes from their skins for Adam and his wife.
22 Y dijo Yahvé Dios: “He aquí que el hombre ha venido a ser como uno de nosotros, conocedor del bien y del mal; ahora, pues, no vaya a extender su mano para que tome todavía del árbol de la vida, y comiendo (de él) viva para siempre.”
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 Después Yahvé Dios lo expulsó del jardín de Edén, para que labrase la tierra de donde había sido 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 Y habiendo expulsado a Adán puso delante del jardín de Edén querubines, y la fulgurante espada que se agitaba, a fin de guardar el camino del árbol de la 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].
