Génesis 3
1 Y la serpiente era más sabia que toda bestia del campo que el Señor Dios había hecho. Y le dijo a la mujer: ¿Realmente ha dicho Dios que no puedes tomar del fruto de ningún árbol en el 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 Y la mujer dijo: Podemos tomar del fruto de los árboles en el 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 Pero del fruto del árbol en el medio del jardín, Dios dijo: Si te lo comes o tocas, la muerte vendrá a ti.
4 Y la serpiente dijo: La muerte ciertamente no vendrá a ti:
The snake said to the woman, “No, you will certainly not die. God said that
5 Porque Dios sabe que el día en que tomes de su fruto, tus ojos serán abiertos, y serán como dioses, teniendo conocimiento 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 cuando la mujer vio que el árbol era bueno para comer, y deleite para los ojos, y para llegar a tener conocimiento, tomó de su fruto y se lo dio a su marido.
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 y tenían los ojos abiertos, y eran conscientes de que no tenían ropa, y se hicieron abrigos de hojas cosidas.
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 Y vino a ellos el sonido de él Señor Dios que andaba en el jardín en la brisa del día; y el hombre y su mujer fueron a un lugar secreto entre los árboles del jardín, lejos de los ojos del Señor Dios.
[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 Y la voz del Señor Dios vino al hombre, diciendo: ¿Dónde estás?
But Yahweh God called to the man, saying to him, “Why are you [trying to hide from me]?”
10 Y él dijo: Al oír tu voz en el jardín, tuve temor, porque estaba desnudo, y me aparté de tus ojos.
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 Y él dijo: ¿Quién te dio a saber que estás desnudo? ¿Has tomado la fruta del árbol que dije que no debes tomar?
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 Y el hombre dijo: La mujer que me diste por compañera, ella me dio el fruto del árbol, y yo lo tomé.
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 Y él Señor Dios dijo a la mujer: ¿Qué has hecho? Y la mujer dijo: fui engañada por la serpiente y lo 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 Y él Señor Dios dijo a la serpiente: Por cuanto esto hiciste, maldita serás más que todo el ganado y toda bestia del campo; sobre tu pecho te arrastrarás, y el polvo será tu alimento 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 habrá guerra entre ti y la mujer, y entre tu simiente y la simiente suya: por él será aplastada tu cabeza, y tú le herirás 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 A la mujer le dijo: Grande será tu dolor en el parto; en la tristeza nacerán tus hijos; aun así tu deseo será para tu esposo, pero él será tu amo.
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 Y a Adán dijo: Por cuanto oíste la voz de tu mujer, y tomaste del fruto del árbol que yo te dije que no a tomar, la tierra está maldita en tu cuenta; en el dolor obtendrán su comida de ella toda su 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 Aparecerán espinos y plantas deshechas, y las plantas del campo serán tu alimento;
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 duro trabajo de tus manos obtendrás tu pan hasta que vuelvas a la tierra de la que fuiste tomado: porque 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 Y el hombre le dio a su mujer el nombre de Eva porque ella era la madre de todos los que tienen vida.
[The man, whose name was] Adam, named his wife Eve, [which means ‘living’], because she became the ancestor of all living people.
21 Y el Señor Dios hizo para Adán y para su mujer las túnicas de pieles para su ropa.
Then Yahweh God [killed some animals and] made clothes from their skins for Adam and his wife.
22 Y él Señor Dios dijo: Ahora el hombre se ha hecho como uno de nosotros, teniendo conocimiento del bien y del mal; y ahora, pues, si extiende su mano y toma del fruto del árbol de la vida, vivirá 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 Entonces el Señor Dios lo envió fuera del huerto de Edén para ser un obrero en la tierra de donde fue 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 Entonces él envió al hombre fuera; y al este del jardín del Edén puso querubines y una espada encendida girando en todas direcciones para seguir el camino hacia el 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].
