1Now the serpent was more subtle than any animal of the field which Yahweh God had made. He said to the woman, “Has God really said, ‘You shall not eat of any tree of the garden?’”
1始祖被引诱而违主命
2The woman said to the serpent, “Of the fruit of the trees of the garden we may eat,
2女人对蛇说：“园中树上的果子，我们都可以吃；
3but of the fruit of the tree which is in the middle of the garden, God has said, ‘You shall not eat of it, neither shall you touch it, lest you die.’”
3只有园中那棵树上的果子， 神曾经说过：‘你们不可吃，也不可摸，免得你们死。’”
4The serpent said to the woman, “You won’t surely die,
4蛇对女人说：“你们决不会死；
5for God knows that in the day you eat it, your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”
5因为 神知道你们吃那果子的时候，你们的眼睛就开了；你们会像 神一样，能知道善恶。”
6When the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took of its fruit, and ate; and she gave some to her husband with her, and he ate.
6于是，女人见那棵树的果子好作食物，又悦人的眼目，而且讨人喜爱，能使人有智慧，就摘下果子来吃了；又给了和她在一起的丈夫，他也吃了。
7The eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked. They sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.
7二人的眼睛就开了，才知道自己是赤身露体的。于是把无花果树的叶子编缝起来，为自己做裙子。
8They heard the voice of Yahweh God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of Yahweh God among the trees of the garden.
8天起凉风的时候，那人和他的妻子听见耶和华 神在园中行走的声音，就藏在园子的树林中，躲避耶和华 神的面。
9Yahweh God called to the man, and said to him, “Where are you?”
9耶和华 神呼唤那人，对他说：“你在哪里？”
10The man said, “I heard your voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.”
10他回答：“我在园中听见你的声音，就害怕；因为我赤身露体，就藏了起来。”
11God said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?”
11耶和华 神说：“谁告诉你，你是赤身露体呢？难道你吃了我吩咐你不可吃的那树上的果子吗？”
12The man said, “The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I ate.”
12那人说：“你所赐给我、和我在一起的那女人，她把树上的果子给我，我就吃了。”
13Yahweh God said to the woman, “What is this you have done?” The woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”
13耶和华 神对女人说：“你作了什么事呢？”女人说：“那蛇欺哄我，我就吃了。”
14Yahweh God said to the serpent, “Because you have done this, you are cursed above all livestock, and above every animal of the field. On your belly you shall go, and you shall eat dust all the days of your life.
14惩罚与应许耶和华 神对蛇说：“因为你作了这事，就必在所有的牲畜和田野的活物中受咒诅；你要用肚子行走，一生都吃泥土。
15I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring. He will bruise your head, and you will bruise his heel.”
15我要使你和女人彼此为仇，你的后裔和女人的后裔，也彼此为仇，女人的后裔要伤你的头，你要伤他的脚跟。”
16To the woman he said, “I will greatly multiply your pain in childbirth. In pain you will bear children. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you.”
16耶和华 神对女人说：“我要大大增加你怀胎的痛苦，你必在痛苦中生产儿女；你要恋慕你的丈夫，他却要管辖你。”
17To Adam he said, “Because you have listened to your wife’s voice, and have eaten of the tree, of which I commanded you, saying, ‘You shall not eat of it,’ cursed is the ground for your sake. In toil you will eat of it all the days of your life.
17耶和华 神又对亚当说：“因为你听从了你妻子的话，吃了我吩咐你不可吃的那树上的果子；地就必因你的缘故受咒诅；你必终生劳苦，才能从地里得吃的。
18It will yield thorns and thistles to you; and you will eat the herb of the field.
18地要给你长出荆棘和蒺藜来；你也要吃田间的蔬菜；
19By the sweat of your face will you eat bread until you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken. For you are dust, and to dust you shall return.”
19你必汗流满面，才有饭吃，直到你归回地土，因为你是从地土取出来的；你既然是尘土，就要归回尘土。”
20The man called his wife Eve, because she was the mother of all living.
20被逐出伊甸园亚当给他的妻子起名叫夏娃，因为她是众生之母。
21Yahweh God made coats of skins for Adam and for his wife, and clothed them.
21耶和华 神为亚当和他的妻子做了皮衣，给他们穿上。
22Yahweh God said, “Behold, the man has become like one of us, knowing good and evil. Now, lest he reach out his hand, and also take of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever...”
22耶和华 神说：“那人和我们中间的一个相似，能知善恶；现在恐怕他伸出手来，摘取生命树上的果子吃，就永远活着。”
23Therefore Yahweh God sent him out from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from which he was taken.
23耶和华 神就把他赶出伊甸园，去耕种他自己也是从那里出来的地土。
24So he drove out the man; and he placed Cherubs at the east of the garden of Eden, and the flame of a sword which turned every way, to guard the way to the tree of life.
24于是把亚当驱逐出去，又派基路伯在伊甸园的东边，拿着旋转发火焰的剑，把守到生命树去的路。
