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 وَكَانَتِ الْحَيَّةُ أَمْكَرَ وُحُوشِ الْبَرِّيَّةِ الَّتِي صَنَعَهَا الرَّبُّ الإِلَهُ، فَسَأَلَتِ الْمَرْأَةَ: «أَحَقّاً أَمَرَكُمَا اللهُ أَلَّا تَأْكُلَا مِنْ جَمِيعِ شَجَرِ الْجَنَّةِ؟»

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

2 فَأَجَابَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ: «يُمْكِنُنَا أَنْ نَأْكُلَ مِنْ ثَمَرِ الْجَنَّةِ كُلِّهَا،

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 مَاعَدَا ثَمَرَ الشَّجَرَةِ الَّتِي فِي وَسَطِهَا، فَقَدْ قَالَ اللهُ: لَا تَأْكُلَا مِنْهُ وَلَا تَلْمَسَاهُ وَإلَّا تَمُوتَا».

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

4 فَقَالَتِ الْحَيَّةُ لِلْمَرْأَةِ: «لَنْ تَمُوتَا،

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 بَلْ إِنَّ اللهَ يَعْرِفُ أَنَّهُ يَوْمَ تَأْكُلانِ مِنْ ثَمَرِ هَذِهِ الشَّجَرَةِ تَنْفَتِحُ أَعْيُنُكُمَا فَتَصِيرَانِ مِثْلَهُ، قَادِرَيْنِ عَلَى التَّمْيِيزِ بَيْنَ الْخَيْرِ وَالشَّرِّ».

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 وَعِنْدَمَا شَاهَدَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ أَنَّ الشَّجَرَةَ لَذِيذَةٌ لِلْمَأْكَلِ وَشَهِيَّةٌ لِلْعُيُونِ، وَمُثِيرَةٌ لِلنَّظَرِ قَطَفَتْ مِنْ ثَمَرِهَا وَأَكَلَتْ، ثُمَّ أَعْطَتْ زَوْجَهَا أَيْضاً فَأَكَلَ مَعَهَا،

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 فَانْفَتَحَتْ لِلْحَالِ أَعْيُنُهُمَا، وَأَدْرَكَا أَنَّهُمَا عُرْيَانَانِ، فَخَاطَا لأَنْفُسِهِمَا مَآزِرَ مِنْ أَوْرَاقِ التِّينِ.

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 ثُمَّ سَمِعَ الزَّوْجَانِ صَوْتَ الرَّبِّ الإِلَهِ وَهُوَ يَمْشِي فِي الْجَنَّةِ عِنْدَ هُبُوبِ رِيحِ النَّهَارِ، فَاخْتَبَآ مِنْ حَضْرَةِ الرَّبِّ الإِلَهِ بَيْنَ شَجَرِ الْجَنَّةِ.

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

9 فَنَادَى الرَّبُّ الإِلَهُ آدَمَ: «أَيْنَ أَنْتَ؟»

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

10 فَأَجَابَ: «سَمِعْتُ صَوْتَكَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ فَاخْتَبَأْتُ خِشْيَةً مِنْكَ لأَنِّي عُرْيَانٌ».

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 فَسَأَلَهُ: «مَنْ قَالَ لَكَ إِنَّكَ عُرْيَانٌ؟ هَلْ أَكَلْتَ مِنْ ثَمَرِ الشَّجَرَةِ الَّتِي نَهَيْتُكَ عَنْهَا؟»

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

12 فَأَجَابَ آدَمُ: «إِنَّهَا الْمَرْأَةُ الَّتِي جَعَلْتَهَا رَفِيقَةً لِي. هِيَ الَّتِي أَطْعَمَتْنِي مِنْ ثَمَرِ الشَّجَرَةِ، فَأَكَلْتُ».

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 فَسَأَلَ الرَّبُّ الإِلَهُ الْمَرْأَةَ: «مَاذَا فَعَلْتِ؟» فَأَجَابَتْ: «أَغْوَتْنِي الْحَيَّةُ فَأَكَلْتُ».

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 فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ الإِلَهُ لِلْحَيَّةِ: «لأَنَّكِ فَعَلْتِ هَذَا، مَلْعُونَةٌ أَنْتِ مِنْ بَيْنَ جَمِيعِ الْبَهَائِمِ وَمِنْ جَمِيعِ وُحُوشِ الْبَرِّيَّةِ، عَلَى بَطْنِكِ تَسْعَيْنَ، وَمِنَ التُّرَابِ تَأْكُلِينَ طَوَالَ حَيَاتِكِ،

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 وَأُثِيرُ عَدَاوَةً دَائِمَةً بَيْنَكِ وَبَيْنَ الْمَرْأَةِ، وَكَذَلِكَ بَيْنَ نَسْلَيْكُمَا. هُوَ يَسْحَقُ رَأْسَكِ وَأَنْتِ تَلْدَغِينَ عَقِبَهُ».

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 ثُمَّ قَالَ لِلْمَرْأَةِ: «أُكَثِّرُ تَكْثِيراً أَوْجَاعَ مَخَاضِكِ فَتُنْجِبِينَ بِالآلَامِ أَوْلَاداً، وَإِلَى زَوْجِكِ يَكُونُ اشْتِيَاقُكِ وَهُوَ يَتَسَلَّطُ عَلَيْكِ».

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 وَقَالَ لِآدَمَ: «لأَنَّكَ أَذْعَنْتَ لِقَوْلِ امْرَأَتِكَ، وَأَكَلْتَ مِنَ الشَّجَرَةِ الَّتِي نَهَيْتُكَ عَنْهَا، فَالأَرْضُ مَلْعُونَةٌ بِسَبَبِكَ وَبِالْمَشَقَّةِ تَقْتَاتُ مِنْهَا طَوَالَ عُمْرِكَ.

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

18 شَوْكاً وَحَسَكاً تُنْبِتُ لَكَ، وَأَنْتَ تَأْكُلُ عُشْبَ الْحَقْلِ.

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 بِعَرَقِ جَبِينِكَ تَكْسَبُ عَيْشَكَ حَتَّى تَعُودَ إِلَى الأَرْضِ، فَمِنْ تُرَابٍ أُخِذْتَ، وَإِلَى تُرَابٍ تَعُودُ».

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

20 وَسَمَّى آدَمُ زَوْجَتَهُ «حَوَّاءَ» لأَنَّهَا أُمُّ كُلِّ حَيٍّ.

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

21 وَكَسَا الرَّبُّ الإِلَهُ آدَمَ وَزَوْجَتَهُ رِدَاءَيْنِ مِنْ جِلْدٍ صَنَعَهُمَا لَهُمَا.

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 ثُمَّ قَالَ الرَّبُّ الإِلَهُ: «هَا الإِنْسَانُ قَدْ صَارَ كَوَاحِدٍ مِنَّا، يُمَيِّزُ بَيْنَ الْخَيْرِ وَالشَّرِّ. وَقَدْ يَمُدُّ يَدَهُ وَيَتَنَاوَلُ مِنْ شَجَرَةِ الْحَيَاةِ وَيَأْكُلُ، فَيَحْيَا إِلَى الأَبَدِ».

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

23 فَأَخْرَجَهُ مِنْ جَنَّةِ عَدْنٍ لِيَفْلَحَ الأَرْضَ الَّتِي أُخِذَ مِنْ تُرَابِهَا.

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 وَهَكَذَا طَرَدَ اللهُ الإِنْسَانَ مِنْ جَنَّةِ عَدْنٍ، وَأَقَامَ مَلائِكَةَ الْكَرُوبِيمِ وَسَيْفاً نَارِيًّا مُتَقَلِّباً شَرْقِيَّ الْجَنَّةِ لِحِرَاسَةِ الطَّرِيقِ الْمُفْضِيَةِ إِلَى «شَجَرَةِ الْحَيَاةِ».
