1 Now the serpent was more subtle than any animal of the field which Yahweh God had made. He said to the woman, "Has God really said, ‘You shall not eat of any tree of the garden’?"

2 The woman said to the serpent, "We may eat fruit from the trees of the garden, 3 but not the fruit of the tree which is in the middle of the garden. God has said, ‘You shall not eat of it. You shall not touch it, lest you die.’"

4 The serpent said to the woman, "You won’t really die, 5 for God knows that in the day you eat it, your eyes will be opened, and you will be 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 to be desired to make one wise, she took some of its fruit, and ate. Then she gave some to her husband with her, and he ate it, too. 7 Their eyes were opened, and they both knew that they were naked. They sewed fig leaves together, and made coverings for themselves. 8 They heard Yahweh God’s voice walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of Yahweh God among the trees of the garden.

9 Yahweh God called to the man, and said to him, "Where are you?"

10 The man said, "I heard your voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; so I hid myself."

11 God said, "Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?"

12 The man said, "The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me fruit from the tree, and I ate it."

13 Yahweh God said to the woman, "What have you done?"

The woman said, "The serpent deceived me, and I ate."

14 Yahweh God said to the serpent,

"Because you have done this,

you are cursed above all livestock,

and above every animal of the field.

You shall go on your belly

and you shall eat dust all the days of your life.

15 I will put hostility between you and the woman,

and between your offspring and her offspring.

He will bruise your head,

and you will bruise his heel."

16 To the woman he said,

"I will greatly multiply your pain in childbirth.

You will bear children in pain.

Your desire will be for your husband,

and he will rule over you."

17 To Adam he said,

"Because you have listened to your wife’s voice,

and have eaten from the tree,

about which I commanded you, saying, ‘You shall not eat of it,’

the ground is cursed for your sake.

You will eat from it with much labor all the days of your life.

18 It will yield thorns and thistles to you;

and you will eat the herb of the field.

19 You will eat bread by the sweat of your face until you return to the ground,

for you were taken out of it.

For you are dust,

and you shall return to dust."

20 The man called his wife Eve because she would be the mother of all the living. 21 Yahweh God made garments of animal skins for Adam and for his wife, and clothed them.

22 Yahweh God said, "Behold, the man has become like one of us, knowing good and evil. Now, lest he reach out his hand, and also take of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever—" 23 Therefore Yahweh God sent him out from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from which he was taken. 24 So he drove out the man; and he placed cherubim at the east of the garden of Eden, and a flaming sword which turned every way, 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。
