1 And the serpent was more crafty than any animal of the field which Jehovah Elohim had made. And it said to the woman, Is it even so, that God has said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?

2 And the woman said to the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden;

3 but of the fruit of the tree that is in the midst of the garden, God has said, Ye shall not eat of it, and ye shall not touch it, lest ye die.

4 And the serpent said to the woman, Ye will not certainly die;

5 but God knows that in the day ye eat of it, your eyes will be opened, and ye will be as God, knowing good and evil.

6 And the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a pleasure for the eyes, and the tree was to be desired to give intelligence; and she took of its fruit, and ate, and gave also to her husband with her, and he ate.

7 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked. And they sewed fig-leaves together, and made themselves aprons.

8 And they heard the voice of Jehovah Elohim, walking in the garden in the cool of the day. And Man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of Jehovah Elohim, in the midst of the trees of the garden.

9 And Jehovah Elohim called to Man, and said to him, Where art thou?

10 And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I feared, because I am naked; and I hid myself.

11 And he said, Who told thee that thou art naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree of which I commanded thee not to eat?

12 And Man said, The woman, whom thou hast given {to be} with me, she gave me of the tree, and I ate.

13 And Jehovah Elohim said to the woman, What is this thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent deceived me, and I ate.

14 And Jehovah Elohim said to the serpent, Because thou hast done this, be thou cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field. On thy belly shalt thou go, and eat dust all the days of thy life.

15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; he shall crush thy head, and thou shalt crush his heel.

16 To the woman he said, I will greatly increase thy travail and thy pregnancy; with pain thou shalt bear children; and to thy husband shall be thy desire, and he shall rule over thee.

17 And to Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened to the voice of thy wife, and eaten of the tree of which I commanded thee saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed be the ground on thy account; with toil shalt thou eat {of} it all the days of thy life;

18 and thorns and thistles shall it yield thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field.

19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, until thou return to the ground: for out of it wast thou taken. For dust thou art; and unto dust shalt thou return.

20 And Man called his wife's name Eve; because she is the mother of all living.

21 And Jehovah Elohim made Adam and his wife coats of skin, and clothed them.

22 And Jehovah Elohim said, Behold, Man is become as one of us, to know good and evil. And now, lest he stretch out his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever...!

23 Therefore Jehovah Elohim sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from which he was taken.

24 And he drove out Man; and he set the Cherubim, and the flame of the flashing sword, toward the east of the garden of Eden, to guard the way to the tree of life.

1 在耶和华 神所造野地所有的活物中, 蛇是最狡猾的。蛇对女人说: " 神真的说过, 你们不可吃园中任何树上的果子吗?"

2 女人对蛇说: "园中树上的果子, 我们都可以吃;

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。’"

4 蛇对女人说: "你们决不会死;

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。"

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。

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。

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。

9 耶和华 神呼唤那人, 对他说: "你在哪里?"

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。"

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?"

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。"

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。"

14 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。

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。"

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。"

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。

18 地要给你长出荆棘和蒺藜来; 你也要吃田间的蔬菜;

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。"

20 亚当给他的妻子起名叫夏娃, 因为她是众生之母。

21 耶和华 神为亚当和他的妻子做了皮衣, 给他们穿上。

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。"

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。

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。
