1 Mosebok 3
1 Och ormen var listigare än all djur på jordene, som Herren Gud gjort hade, och sade till qvinnona: Ja, skulle Gud hafva sagt, I skolen icke äta af allahanda trä i lustgårdenom?
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 Då sade qvinnan till ormen: Vi äte af de träs frukt, som är i lustgårdenom;
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 Men af frukten af det trät, som är midt i lustgårdenom, hafver Gud sagt: Äter icke deraf, och kommer icke heller dervid, att I icke dön.
4 Då sade ormen till qvinnona: Ingalunda skolen I döden dö.
The snake said to the woman, “No, you will certainly not die. God said that
5 Förty Gud vet, att på hvad dag I äten deraf, skola edor ögon öppnas, och I varden såsom Gud, vetandes hvad godt och ondt är.
[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 Och qvinnan såg till, att trät var godt att äta af, och ljufligit uppå se, och att det ett lustigt trä var, efter det gaf förstånd; och tog utaf fruktene, och åt, och gaf desslikes sinom man deraf, och han åt.
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 Då öppnades bägges deras ögon, och de vordo varse, att de voro nakne; och de bundo tillhopa fikonalöf, och gjorde sig skörte.
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 Och de hörde Herrans Guds röst gångandes i lustgårdenom, då dagen svalkades; och Adam undstack sig, med sine hustru, för Herrans Guds ansigte, ibland trän i lustgårdenom.
[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 Och Herren Gud kallade Adam, och sade till honom: Hvar äst du?
But Yahweh God called to the man, saying to him, “Why are you [trying to hide from me]?”
10 Och han sade: Jag hörde dina röst i lustgårdenom, och fruktade mig, ty jag är naken, derföre undstack jag mig.
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 Han sade: Ho hafver låtit dig förstå, att du äst naken? Hafver du icke ätit af det trä, om hvilket jag dig budit hafver, att du deraf icke äta skulle?
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 Då sade Adam: Qvinnan, som du till mig gifvit hafver, gaf mig af trät, så att jag åt.
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 Då sade Herren Gud till qvinnona: Hvi hafver du det gjort? Qvinnan sade: Ormen besvek mig, så att jag åt.
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 Och Herren Gud sade till ormen: Efter du detta gjort hafver, förbannad vare du öfver allt det som lif hafver, och öfver all djur på markene; du skall gå på din buk, och äta jord i alla dina lifsdagar.
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 Och jag skall sätta fiendskap emellan dig och qvinnona, och emellan dina säd och hennes säd. Den samme skall söndertrampa ditt hufvud, och du skall stinga honom i hans häl.
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 Och till qvinnona sade han: Jag skall få dig mycken vedermödo, då du aflat hafver. Du skall föda din barn med sveda, och din vilje skall dinom manne undergifven vara, och han skall vara din herre.
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 Och till Adam sade han: Efter du lydde dine hustrus röst, och åt af trät, om hvilket jag dig böd och sade: Du skall icke äta deraf; förbannad vare marken för dina skull, med bekymmer skall du nära dig på henne i alla dina lifsdagar.
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 Törne och tistlar skall hon bära dig, och du skall äta örter på markene.
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 Du skall äta ditt bröd i dins anletes svett, till dess du varder åter till jord igen, der du af tagen äst; ty du äst jord, och till jord skall du varda.
[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 Och Adam kallade sine hustrus namn Heva, derföre att hon en moder är åt allom lefvandom.
[The man, whose name was] Adam, named his wife Eve, [which means ‘living’], because she became the ancestor of all living people.
21 Och Herren Gud gjorde Adam och hans hustru kjortlar af skinn, och klädde uppå dem.
Then Yahweh God [killed some animals and] made clothes from their skins for Adam and his wife.
22 Och Herren Gud sade: Si, Adam är vorden såsom en af oss, och vet hvad godt och ondt är. Men nu, på det han icke uträcka skall sina hand, och taga desslikes af lifsens trä, och äta, och lefva evinnerliga;
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 Då lät Herren Gud honom utu lustgårdenom Eden, på det han skulle bruka jordena, der han af tagen var.
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 Och dref Adam ut; och satte för lustgården Eden Cherubim, med ett bart huggande svärd, till att förvara vägen till lifsens trä.
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].
