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 ٱلْحَيَّةُ أَحْيَلَ جَمِيعِ حَيَوَانَاتِ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ ٱلَّتِي عَمِلَهَا ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْإِلَهُ، فَقَالَتْ لِلْمَرْأَةِ: «أَحَقًّا قَالَ ٱللهُ لَا تَأْكُلَا مِنْ كُلِّ شَجَرِ ٱلْجَنَّةِ؟»

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

2 فَقَالَتِ ٱلْمَرْأَةُ لِلْحَيَّةِ: «مِنْ ثَمَرِ شَجَرِ ٱلْجَنَّةِ نَأْكُلُ،

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 وَأَمَّا ثَمَرُ ٱلشَّجَرَةِ ٱلَّتِي فِي وَسَطِ ٱلْجَنَّةِ فَقَالَ ٱللهُ: لَا تَأْكُلَا مِنْهُ وَلَا تَمَسَّاهُ لِئَلَّا تَمُوتَا».

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

4 فَقَالَتِ ٱلْحَيَّةُ 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 بَلِ ٱللهُ عَالِمٌ أَنَّهُ يَوْمَ تَأْكُلَانِ مِنْهُ تَنْفَتِحُ أَعْيُنُكُمَا وَتَكُونَانِ كَٱللهِ عَارِفَيْنِ ٱلْخَيْرَ وَٱلشَّرَّ».

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 فَرَأَتِ ٱلْمَرْأَةُ أَنَّ ٱلشَّجَرَةَ جَيِّدَةٌ لِلْأَكْلِ، وَأَنَّهَا بَهِجَةٌ لِلْعُيُونِ، وَأَنَّ ٱلشَّجَرَةَ شَهِيَّةٌ لِلنَّظَرِ. فَأَخَذَتْ مِنْ ثَمَرِهَا وَأَكَلَتْ، وَأَعْطَتْ رَجُلَهَا أَيْضًا مَعَهَا فَأَكَلَ.

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 فَٱنْفَتَحَتْ أَعْيُنُهُمَا وَعَلِمَا أَنَّهُمَا عُرْيَانَانِ. فَخَاطَا أَوْرَاقَ تِينٍ وَصَنَعَا لِأَنْفُسِهِمَا مَآزِرَ.

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 وَسَمِعَا صَوْتَ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلْإِلَهِ مَاشِيًا فِي ٱلْجَنَّةِ عِنْدَ هُبُوبِ رِيحِ ٱلنَّهَارِ، فَٱخْتَبَأَ آدَمُ وَٱمْرَأَتُهُ مِنْ وَجْهِ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلْإِلَهِ فِي وَسَطِ شَجَرِ ٱلْجَنَّةِ.

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

9 فَنَادَى ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْإِلَهُ آدَمَ وَقَالَ لَهُ: «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 فَقَالَ: «سَمِعْتُ صَوْتَكَ فِي ٱلْجَنَّةِ فَخَشِيتُ، لِأَنِّي عُرْيَانٌ فَٱخْتَبَأْتُ».

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 فَقَالَ: «مَنْ أَعْلَمَكَ أَنَّكَ عُرْيَانٌ؟ هَلْ أَكَلْتَ مِنَ ٱلشَّجَرَةِ ٱلَّتِي أَوْصَيْتُكَ أَنْ لَا تَأْكُلَ مِنْهَا؟»

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

12 فَقَالَ آدَمُ: «ٱلْمَرْأَةُ ٱلَّتِي جَعَلْتَهَا مَعِي هِيَ أَعْطَتْنِي مِنَ ٱلشَّجَرَةِ 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 فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْإِلَهُ لِلْمَرْأَةِ: «مَا هَذَا ٱلَّذِي فَعَلْتِ؟» فَقَالَتِ ٱلْمَرْأَةُ: «ٱلْحَيَّةُ غَرَّتْنِي 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 ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْإِلَهُ لِلْحَيَّةِ: «لِأَنَّكِ فَعَلْتِ هَذَا، مَلْعُونَةٌ أَنْتِ مِنْ جَمِيعِ ٱلْبَهَائِمِ وَمِنْ جَمِيعِ وُحُوشِ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ. عَلَى بَطْنِكِ تَسْعَيْنَ وَتُرَابًا تَأْكُلِينَ كُلَّ أَيَّامِ 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 وَأَضَعُ عَدَاوَةً بَيْنَكِ وَبَيْنَ ٱلْمَرْأَةِ، وَبَيْنَ نَسْلِكِ وَنَسْلِهَا. هُوَ يَسْحَقُ رَأْسَكِ، وَأَنْتِ تَسْحَقِينَ 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 وَقَالَ لِلْمَرْأَةِ: «تَكْثِيرًا أُكَثِّرُ أَتْعَابَ حَبَلِكِ، بِٱلْوَجَعِ تَلِدِينَ أَوْلَادًا. وَإِلَى رَجُلِكِ يَكُونُ ٱشْتِيَاقُكِ وَهُوَ يَسُودُ 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: «لِأَنَّكَ سَمِعْتَ لِقَوْلِ ٱمْرَأَتِكَ وَأَكَلْتَ مِنَ ٱلشَّجَرَةِ ٱلَّتِي أَوْصَيْتُكَ قَائِلًا: لَا تَأْكُلْ مِنْهَا، مَلْعُونَةٌ ٱلْأَرْضُ بِسَبَبِكَ. بِٱلتَّعَبِ تَأْكُلُ مِنْهَا كُلَّ أَيَّامِ حَيَاتِكَ.

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

18 وَشَوْكًا وَحَسَكًا تُنْبِتُ لَكَ، وَتَأْكُلُ عُشْبَ ٱلْحَقْلِ.

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 وَجْهِكَ تَأْكُلُ خُبْزًا حَتَّى تَعُودَ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي أُخِذْتَ مِنْهَا. لِأَنَّكَ تُرَابٌ، وَإِلَى تُرَابٍ تَعُودُ».

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

20 وَدَعَا آدَمُ ٱسْمَ ٱمْرَأَتِهِ «حَوَّاءَ» لِأَنَّهَا أُمُّ كُلِّ حَيٍّ.

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

21 وَصَنَعَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْإِلَهُ لِآدَمَ وَٱمْرَأَتِهِ أَقْمِصَةً مِنْ جِلْدٍ وَأَلْبَسَهُمَا.

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 وَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْإِلَهُ: «هُوَذَا ٱلْإِنْسَانُ قَدْ صَارَ كَوَاحِدٍ مِنَّا عَارِفًا ٱلْخَيْرَ وَٱلشَّرَّ. وَٱلْآنَ لَعَلَّهُ يَمُدُّ يَدَهُ وَيَأْخُذُ مِنْ شَجَرَةِ ٱلْحَيَاةِ أَيْضًا وَيَأْكُلُ وَيَحْيَا إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ».

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

23 فَأَخْرَجَهُ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْإِلَهُ مِنْ جَنَّةِ عَدْنٍ لِيَعْمَلَ ٱلْأَرْضَ ٱلَّتِي أُخِذَ مِنْهَا.

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 فَطَرَدَ ٱلْإِنْسَانَ، وَأَقَامَ شَرْقِيَّ جَنَّةِ عَدْنٍ ٱلْكَرُوبِيمَ، وَلَهِيبَ سَيْفٍ مُتَقَلِّبٍ لِحِرَاسَةِ طَرِيقِ شَجَرَةِ ٱلْحَيَاةِ.
