Genesis 3

1 Now the serpent was more crafty than any beast of the field that the LORD God had made. And he said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden?’”

1 在耶和华上帝所造的田野的各种动物中，蛇最狡猾。蛇对女人说：“上帝真的说过‘你们不可吃园中任何树上的果子’吗？”

2 The woman answered the serpent, “We may eat the fruit of the trees of the garden,

2 女人回答说：“我们可以吃园中树上的果子，

3 but about the fruit of the tree in the middle of the garden, God has said, ‘You must not eat of it or touch it, or you will die.’”

3 只是上帝说过，‘你们不可吃园子中间那棵树的果子，也不可摸，免得死亡。’”

4 “You will not surely die,” the serpent told the woman.

4 蛇对女人说：“你们一定不会死！

5 “For God knows that in the day you eat of it, your eyes will be opened and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”

5 上帝那样说是因为祂知道你们吃了那树的果子以后，眼睛就会打开，像上帝一样懂得分辨善恶。”

6 When the woman saw that the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eyes, and that it was desirable for obtaining wisdom, she took the fruit and ate it. She also gave some to her husband who was with her, and he ate it.

6 女人见那棵树上的果子可口，悦人眼目，可使人有智慧，就摘下来吃了。她又把果子给跟她在一起的丈夫，他也吃了。

7 And the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked; so they sewed together fig leaves and made coverings for themselves.

7 二人的眼睛就打开了，发觉自己原来赤身露体，便编起无花果树的叶子来遮体。

8 Then the man and his wife heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the breeze of the day, and they hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God among the trees of the garden.

8 天起凉风时，那人和他妻子听见耶和华上帝在园中行走的声音，就藏在园子的树丛中，想躲避耶和华上帝。

9 But the LORD God called out to the man, “Where are you?”

9 耶和华上帝呼唤那人说：“你在哪里？”

10 “I heard Your voice in the garden,” he replied, “and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid myself.”

10 那人说：“我在园中听见你的声音，就害怕得躲了起来，因为我赤身露体！”

11 “Who told you that you were naked?” asked the LORD God. “Have you eaten from the tree of which I commanded you not to eat?”

11 耶和华上帝问：“谁告诉你，说你赤身露体？难道你吃了我吩咐你不可吃的果子吗？”

12 And the man answered, “The woman whom You gave me, she gave me fruit from the tree, and I ate it.”

12 那人说：“你赐给我作伴的女人把那树上的果子给我，我就吃了。”

13 Then the LORD God said to the woman, “What is this you have done?” “The serpent deceived me,” she replied, “and I ate.”

13 耶和华上帝对女人说：“你这是做的什么事？”女人说：“是蛇诱骗我，我才吃的。”

14 So the LORD God said to the serpent: “Because you have done this, cursed are you above all livestock and every beast of the field! On your belly will you go, and dust you will eat, all the days of your life.

14 耶和华上帝对蛇说： “你既然做了这事， 你要比一切牲畜和野兽受更重的咒诅， 你要用肚子爬行， 一生都要吃尘土。

15 And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed. He will crush your head, and you will strike his heel.”

15 我要使你和女人结仇， 你的后裔和女人的后裔也要彼此为仇， 女人的后裔必伤你的头， 你必伤他的脚跟。”

16 To the woman He said: “I will sharply increase your pain in childbirth; in pain you will bring forth children. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you.”

16 耶和华上帝对女人说： “我必大大加重你怀孕的痛苦， 你分娩时必受痛苦。 你必恋慕 自己的丈夫， 你的丈夫必管辖你。”

17 And to Adam He said: “Because you have listened to the voice of your wife and have eaten from the tree of which I commanded you not to eat, cursed is the ground because of you; through toil you will eat of it all the days of your life.

17 耶和华上帝又对亚当说： “因为你听从妻子的话， 吃了我吩咐你不可吃的那树上的果子， 地必因你而受咒诅。 你必终生艰辛劳苦， 才能吃到地里出产的食物。

18 Both thorns and thistles it will yield for you, and you will eat the plants of the field.

18 地必给你长出荆棘和蒺藜， 你要吃田间长出来的菜蔬。

19 By the sweat of your brow you will eat your bread, until you return to the ground—because out of it were you taken. For dust you are, and to dust you shall return.”

19 你必汗流满面，才有饭吃， 一直到你归回土地。 因为那是你的本源。 你本是尘土，也必归回尘土。”

20 And Adam named his wife Eve, because she would be the mother of all the living.

20 亚当给他的妻子取名叫夏娃，因为她是众生之母。

21 And the LORD God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife, and He clothed them.

21 耶和华上帝做了皮衣给他们夫妇穿上。

22 Then the LORD God said, “Behold, the man has become like one of Us, knowing good and evil. And now, lest he reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life, and eat, and live forever...”

22 耶和华上帝说：“看啊，那人已经与我们相似，能分辨善恶。现在，恐怕他会伸手去摘生命树的果子吃，就永远活着。”

23 Therefore the LORD God banished him from the Garden of Eden to work the ground from which he had been taken.

23 因此，耶和华上帝就把亚当赶出伊甸园，让他去开垦土地——那是他的本源。

24 So He drove out the man and stationed cherubim on the east side of the Garden of Eden, along with a whirling sword of flame to guard the way to the tree of life.

24 祂赶走了亚当以后，在伊甸园东边安排基路伯天使和一把旋转的火剑，守住通往生命树的路。
