The Serpent's Temptation
1 Now the serpent was more cunning than any animal of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said to the woman, "Has God really said, 'You shall not eat from any tree of the garden'?" 2 The woman said to the serpent, "From the fruit of the trees of the garden we may eat; 3 but from the fruit of the tree which is in the middle of the garden, God has said, 'You shall not eat from it or touch it, or you will die.'" 4 The serpent said to the woman, "You certainly will not die! 5 For God knows that on the day you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will become like God, knowing good and evil." 6 When the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was desirable to make one wise, she took some of its fruit and ate; and she also gave some to her husband with her, and he ate.
1 耶和華神所造的，惟有蛇比田野一切的活物更狡猾。蛇對女人說，神豈是真說，不許你們喫園中所有樹上的果子麼。2 女人對蛇說，園中樹上的果子我們可以喫，3 惟有園當中那棵樹上的果子，神曾說，你們不可喫、也不可摸，免得你們死。4 蛇對女人說，你們不一定死，5 因為神知道，你們喫的日子眼睛就明亮了，你們便如神能知道善惡。6 於是女人見那棵樹的果子好作食物、也悅人的眼目、且是可喜愛的、能使人有智慧，就摘下果子來喫了，又給他丈夫，他丈夫也喫了。
Their Eyes Are Opened
7 Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves waist coverings. 8 Now they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden. 9 Then the Lord God called to the man, and said to him, "Where are you?"
7 他們二人的眼睛就明亮了，纔知道自己是赤身露體，便拿無花果樹的葉子，為自己編作裙子。8 天起了涼風，耶和華神在園中行走，那人和他妻子聽見神的聲音，就藏在園裡的樹木中，躲避耶和華神的面。9 耶和華神呼喚那人，對他說，你在那裡。
The Lord Questions Adam and Eve
10 He said, "I heard the sound of You in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid myself." 11 And He said, "Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree from which I commanded you not to eat?" 12 The man said, "The woman whom You gave to be with me, she gave me some of the fruit of the tree, and I ate." 13 Then the Lord God said to the woman, "What is this that you have done?" And the woman said, "The serpent deceived me, and I ate."
10 他說，我在園中聽見你的聲音，我就害怕，因為我赤身露體，我便藏了。11 耶和華說，誰告訴你赤身露體呢，莫非你喫了我吩咐你不可喫的那樹上的果子麼。12 那人說，你所賜給我，與我同居的女人，他把那樹上的果子給我，我就喫了。13 耶和華神對女人說，你作的是甚麼事呢。女人說，那蛇引誘我，我就喫了。
The Curses Pronounced
14 Then the Lord God said to the serpent, "Because you have done this, Cursed are you more than all the livestock, And more than any animal of the field; On your belly you shall go, And dust you shall eat All the days of your life; 15 And I will make enemies Of you and the woman, And of your offspring and her Descendant; He shall bruise you on the head, And you shall bruise Him on the heel." 16 To the woman He said, "I will greatly multiply Your pain in childbirth, In pain you shall deliver children; Yet your desire will be for your husband, And he shall rule over you." 17 Then to Adam He said, "Because you have listened to the voice of your wife, and have eaten from the tree about which I commanded you, saying, 'You shall not eat from it'; Cursed is the ground because of you; With hard labor you shall eat from it All the days of your life.
14 耶和華神對蛇說，你既作了這事，就必受咒詛，比一切的牲畜野獸更甚，你必用肚子行走，終身喫土。15 我又要叫你和女人彼此為仇，你的後裔和女人的後裔，也彼此為仇，女人的後裔要傷你的頭，你要傷他的腳跟。16 又對女人說，我必多多加增你懷胎的苦楚，你生產兒女必多受苦楚，你必戀慕你丈夫，你丈夫必管轄你。17 又對亞當說，你既聽從妻子的話，喫了我所吩咐你不可喫的那樹上的果子，地必為你的緣故受咒詛，你必終身勞苦，纔能從地裡得喫的。
The Curse Continues and the Exile
18 Both thorns and thistles it shall grow for you; Yet you shall eat the plants of the field; 19 By the sweat of your face You shall eat bread, Until you return to the ground, Because from it you were taken; For you are dust, And to dust you shall return."
20 Now the man named his wife Eve, because she was the mother of all the living. 21 And the Lord God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife, and clothed them.
22 Then the Lord God said, "Behold, the man has become like one of Us, knowing good and evil; and now, he might reach out with his hand, and take fruit also from the tree of life, and eat, and live forever" - 23 therefore the Lord God sent him out of the Garden of Eden, to cultivate the ground from which he was taken. 24 So He drove the man out; and at the east of the Garden of Eden He stationed the cherubim and the flaming sword which turned every direction to guard the way to the tree of life.
18 地必給你長出荊棘和蒺藜來，你也要喫田間的菜蔬。19 你必汗流滿面纔得糊口，直到你歸了土，因為你是從土而出的，你本是塵土，仍要歸於塵土。
20 亞當給他妻子起名叫夏娃，因為他是眾生之母。21 耶和華神為亞當和他妻子用皮子作衣服，給他們穿。
22 耶和華神說，那人已經與我們相似，能知道善惡，現在恐怕他伸手又摘生命樹的果子喫，就永遠活著，23 耶和華神便打發他出伊甸園去，耕種他所自出之土。24 於是把他趕出去了，又在伊甸園的東邊安設基路伯、和四面轉動發火焰的劍，要把守生命樹的道路。
