Yaratiliş 3
1 RAB Tanrı'nın yarattığı yabanıl hayvanların en kurnazı yılandı. Yılan kadına, “Tanrı gerçekten, ‘Bahçedeki ağaçların hiçbirinin meyvesini yemeyin’ dedi mi?” diye sordu.
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 Kadın, “Bahçedeki ağaçların meyvelerinden yiyebiliriz” diye yanıtladı,
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 “Ama Tanrı, ‘Bahçenin ortasındaki ağacın meyvesini yemeyin, ona dokunmayın; yoksa ölürsünüz’ dedi.”
4 Yılan, “Kesinlikle ölmezsiniz” dedi,
The snake said to the woman, “No, you will certainly not die. God said that
5 “Çünkü Tanrı biliyor ki, o ağacın meyvesini yediğinizde gözleriniz açılacak, iyiyle kötüyü bilerek Tanrı gibi olacaksınız.”
[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 Kadın ağacın güzel, meyvesinin yemek için uygun ve bilgelik kazanmak için çekici olduğunu gördü. Meyveyi koparıp yedi. Yanındaki kocasına verdi, o da yedi.
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 İkisinin de gözleri açıldı. Çıplak olduklarını anladılar. Bu yüzden incir yaprakları dikip kendilerine önlük yaptılar.
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 Derken, günün serinliğinde bahçede yürüyen RAB Tanrı'nın sesini duydular. O'ndan kaçıp ağaçların arasına gizlendiler.
[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 RAB Tanrı Adem'e, “Neredesin?” diye seslendi.
But Yahweh God called to the man, saying to him, “Why are you [trying to hide from me]?”
10 Adem, “Bahçede sesini duyunca korktum. Çünkü çıplaktım, bu yüzden gizlendim” dedi.
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 RAB Tanrı, “Çıplak olduğunu sana kim söyledi?” diye sordu, “Sana meyvesini yeme dediğim ağaçtan mı yedin?”
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 Adem, “Yanıma koyduğun kadın ağacın meyvesini bana verdi, ben de yedim” diye yanıtladı.
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 RAB Tanrı kadına, “Nedir bu yaptığın?” diye sordu. Kadın, “Yılan beni aldattı, o yüzden yedim” diye karşılık verdi.
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 Bunun üzerine RAB Tanrı yılana, “Bu yaptığından ötürü Bütün evcil ve yabanıl hayvanların En lanetlisi sen olacaksın” dedi, “Karnının üzerinde sürünecek, Yaşamın boyunca toprak yiyeceksin.
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 Seninle kadını, onun soyuyla senin soyunu Birbirinize düşman edeceğim. Onun soyu senin başını ezecek, Sen onun topuğuna saldıracaksın.”
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 RAB Tanrı kadına, “Çocuk doğururken sana Çok acı çektireceğim” dedi, “Ağrı çekerek doğum yapacaksın. Kocana istek duyacaksın, Seni o yönetecek.”
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 RAB Tanrı Adem'e, “Karının sözünü dinlediğin ve sana, Meyvesini yeme dediğim ağaçtan yediğin için Toprak senin yüzünden lanetlendi” dedi, “Yaşam boyu emek vermeden yiyecek bulamayacaksın.
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 Toprak sana diken ve çalı verecek, Yaban otu yiyeceksin.
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 Toprağa dönünceye dek Ekmeğini alın teri dökerek kazanacaksın. Çünkü topraksın, topraktan yaratıldın Ve yine toprağa döneceksin.”
[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 Adem karısına Havva adını verdi. Çünkü o bütün insanların annesiydi.
[The man, whose name was] Adam, named his wife Eve, [which means ‘living’], because she became the ancestor of all living people.
21 RAB Tanrı Adem'le karısı için deriden giysiler yaptı, onları giydirdi.
Then Yahweh God [killed some animals and] made clothes from their skins for Adam and his wife.
22 Sonra, “Adem iyiyle kötüyü bilmekle bizlerden biri gibi oldu” dedi, “Artık yaşam ağacına uzanıp meyve almasına, yiyip ölümsüz olmasına izin verilmemeli.”
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 Böylece RAB Tanrı, yaratılmış olduğu toprağı işlemek üzere Adem'i Aden bahçesinden çıkardı.
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 Onu kovdu. Yaşam ağacının yolunu denetlemek için de Aden bahçesinin doğusuna Keruvlar ve her yana dönen alevli bir kılıç yerleştirdi.
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].
