< Génesis 3 >

1 La serpiente era más astuta que cualquier otro animal del campo que había hecho Yahvé Dios. Le dijo a la mujer: “¿De verdad ha dicho Dios: “No comerás de ningún árbol del jardín”?”
Now the snake was wiser than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said to the woman, Has God truly said that you may not take of the fruit of any tree in the garden?
2 La mujer dijo a la serpiente: “Podemos comer del fruto de los árboles del jardín,
And the woman said, We may take of the fruit of the trees in the garden:
3 pero no del fruto del árbol que está en medio del jardín. Dios ha dicho: ‘No comerás de él. No lo tocarás, para que no mueras”.
But of the fruit of the tree in the middle of the garden, God has said, If you take of it or put your hands on it, death will come to you.
4 La serpiente dijo a la mujer: “No morirás realmente,
And the snake said, Death will not certainly come to you:
5 porque Dios sabe que el día que lo comas se te abrirán los ojos y serás como Dios, conociendo el bien y el mal.”
For God sees that on the day when you take of its fruit, your eyes will be open, and you will be as gods, having knowledge of good and evil.
6 Cuando la mujer vio que el árbol era bueno para comer y que era un deleite para los ojos, y que el árbol era deseable para hacerse sabio, tomó parte de su fruto y comió. Luego le dio un poco a su marido, que también comió.
And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and a delight to the eyes, and to be desired to make one wise, she took of its fruit, and gave it to her husband.
7 Se les abrieron los ojos y ambos se dieron cuenta de que estaban desnudos. Cosieron hojas de higuera y se cubrieron.
And their eyes were open and they were conscious that they had no clothing and they made themselves coats of leaves stitched together.
8 Oyeron la voz de Yahvé Dios que se paseaba por el jardín en el fresco del día, y el hombre y su mujer se escondieron de la presencia de Yahvé Dios entre los árboles del jardín.
And there came to them the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the evening wind: and the man and his wife went to a secret place among the trees of the garden, away from the eyes of the Lord God.
9 Yahvé Dios llamó al hombre y le dijo: “¿Dónde estás?”.
And the voice of the Lord God came to the man, saying, Where are you?
10 El hombre dijo: “Oí tu voz en el jardín, y tuve miedo, porque estaba desnudo; así que me escondí”.
And he said, Hearing your voice in the garden I was full of fear, because I was without clothing: and I kept myself from your eyes.
11 Dios dijo: “¿Quién te dijo que estabas desnudo? ¿Has comido del árbol del que te ordené no comer?”
And he said, Who gave you the knowledge that you were without clothing? Have you taken of the fruit of the tree which I said you were not to take?
12 El hombre dijo: “La mujer que me diste para estar conmigo, me dio fruto del árbol y lo comí”.
And the man said, The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me the fruit of the tree and I took it.
13 Yahvé Dios dijo a la mujer: “¿Qué has hecho?” La mujer dijo: “La serpiente me engañó y comí”.
And the Lord God said to the woman, What have you done? And the woman said, I was tricked by the deceit of the snake and I took it.
14 Yahvé Dios dijo a la serpiente, “Porque has hecho esto, estás maldito por encima de todo el ganado, y por encima de todo animal del campo. Irás sobre tu vientre y comerás polvo todos los días de tu vida.
And the Lord God said to the snake, Because you have done this you are cursed more than all cattle and every beast of the field; you will go flat on the earth, and dust will be your food all the days of your life:
15 Pondré hostilidad entre tú y la mujer, y entre tu descendencia y la de ella. Te va a magullar la cabeza, y le magullarás el talón”.
And there will be war between you and the woman and between your seed and her seed: by him will your head be crushed and by you his foot will be wounded.
16 A la mujer le dijo, “Multiplicaré en gran medida tus dolores de parto. Tendrás hijos con dolor. Tu deseo será para tu marido, y te gobernará”.
To the woman he said, Great will be your pain in childbirth; in sorrow will your children come to birth; still your desire will be for your husband, but he will be your master.
17 A Adán le dijo, “Porque has escuchado la voz de tu mujer, y han comido del árbol, sobre lo que te ordené, diciendo: ‘No comerás de él’. la tierra está maldita por tu causa. Comerás de él con mucho trabajo todos los días de tu vida.
And to Adam he said, Because you gave ear to the voice of your wife and took of the fruit of the tree which I said you were not to take, the earth is cursed on your account; in pain you will get your food from it all your life.
18 Te dará espinas y cardos; y comerás la hierba del campo.
Thorns and waste plants will come up, and the plants of the field will be your food;
19 Comerás el pan con el sudor de tu rostro hasta que vuelvas a la tierra, ya que fuiste sacado de ella. Porque tú eres polvo, y volverás al polvo”.
With the hard work of your hands you will get your bread till you go back to the earth from which you were taken: for dust you are and to the dust you will go back.
20 El hombre llamó a su mujer Eva, porque ella sería la madre de todos los vivientes.
And the man gave his wife the name of Eve because she was the mother of all who have life.
21 Yahvé Dios hizo vestidos de pieles de animales para Adán y para su mujer, y los vistió.
And the Lord God made for Adam and for his wife coats of skins for their clothing.
22 Yahvé Dios dijo: “He aquí que el hombre ha llegado a ser como uno de nosotros, conociendo el bien y el mal. Ahora bien, para que no extienda su mano y tome también del árbol de la vida, y coma, y viva para siempre —”
And the Lord God said, Now the man has become like one of us, having knowledge of good and evil; and now if he puts out his hand and takes of the fruit of the tree of life, he will go on living for ever.
23 Por eso Yahvé Dios lo envió fuera del jardín de Edén, para que labrara la tierra de la que fue tomado.
So the Lord God sent him out of the garden of Eden to be a worker on the earth from which he was taken.
24 Y expulsó al hombre; y puso querubines al oriente del jardín del Edén, y una espada flamígera que se volvía hacia todos lados, para guardar el camino del árbol de la vida.
So he sent the man out; and at the east of the garden of Eden he put winged ones and a flaming sword turning every way to keep the way to the tree of life.
