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”?”
However, the serpent was more crafty than any of the creatures of the earth that the Lord God had made. And he said to the woman, “Why has God instructed you, that you should not eat from every tree of Paradise?”
2 La mujer dijo a la serpiente: “Podemos comer del fruto de los árboles del jardín,
The woman responded to him: “From the fruit of the trees which are in Paradise, we eat.
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”.
Yet truly, from the fruit of the tree which is in the middle of Paradise, God has instructed us that we should not eat, and that we should not touch it, lest perhaps we may die.”
4 La serpiente dijo a la mujer: “No morirás realmente,
Then the serpent said to the woman: “By no means will you die a death.
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 knows that, on whatever day you will eat from it, your eyes will be opened; and you will be like gods, knowing 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 so the woman saw that the tree was good to eat, and beautiful to the eyes, and delightful to consider. And she took from its fruit, and she ate. And she gave to her husband, who ate.
7 Se les abrieron los ojos y ambos se dieron cuenta de que estaban desnudos. Cosieron hojas de higuera y se cubrieron.
And the eyes of them both were opened. And when they realized themselves to be naked, they joined together fig leaves and made coverings for themselves.
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 when they had heard the voice of the Lord God taking a walk in Paradise in the afternoon breeze, Adam and his wife hid themselves from the face of the Lord God in the midst of the trees of Paradise.
9 Yahvé Dios llamó al hombre y le dijo: “¿Dónde estás?”.
And the Lord God called Adam and said to him: “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, “I heard your voice in Paradise, and I was afraid, because I was naked, and so I hid myself.”
11 Dios dijo: “¿Quién te dijo que estabas desnudo? ¿Has comido del árbol del que te ordené no comer?”
He said to him, “Then who told you that you were naked, if you have not eaten of the tree from which I instructed you that you should not eat?”
12 El hombre dijo: “La mujer que me diste para estar conmigo, me dio fruto del árbol y lo comí”.
And Adam said, “The woman, whom you gave to me as a companion, gave to me from the tree, and I ate.”
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, “Why have you done this?” And she responded, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”
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 serpent: “Because you have done this, you are cursed among all living things, even the wild beasts of the earth. Upon your breast shall you travel, and the ground shall you eat, 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”.
I will put enmities between you and the woman, between your offspring and her offspring. She will crush your head, and you will lie in wait for her heel.”
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 also said: “I will multiply your labors and your conceptions. In pain shall you give birth to sons, and you shall be under your husband’s power, and he shall have dominion over you.”
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.
Yet truly, to Adam, he said: “Because you have listened to the voice of your wife, and have eaten of the tree, from which I instructed you that you should not eat, cursed is the land that you work. In hardship shall you eat from it, all the days of your life.
18 Te dará espinas y cardos; y comerás la hierba del campo.
Thorns and thistles shall it produce for you, and you shall eat the plants of the earth.
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”.
By the sweat of your face shall you eat bread, until you return to the earth from which you were taken. For dust you are, and unto dust you shall return.”
20 El hombre llamó a su mujer Eva, porque ella sería la madre de todos los vivientes.
And Adam called the name of his wife, ‘Eve,’ because she was the mother of all the living.
21 Yahvé Dios hizo vestidos de pieles de animales para Adán y para su mujer, y los vistió.
The Lord God also made for Adam and his wife garments from skins, and he clothed them.
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 he said: “Behold, Adam has become like one of us, knowing good and evil. Therefore, now perhaps he may put forth his hand and also take from the tree of life, and eat, and live in eternity.”
23 Por eso Yahvé Dios lo envió fuera del jardín de Edén, para que labrara la tierra de la que fue tomado.
And so the Lord God sent him away from the Paradise of enjoyment, in order to work 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.
And he cast out Adam. And in front of the Paradise of enjoyment, he placed the Cherubim with a flaming sword, turning together, to guard the way to the tree of life.
