上帝的审判

14 耶和华上帝对蛇说:

“你既然做了这事,
你要比一切的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 我要使你和女人结仇,
你的后代和女人的后代也要彼此为仇,
女人的后代必伤你的头,
你必伤他的脚跟。”

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[a]自己的丈夫,
你的丈夫必管辖你。”

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 地必给你长出荆棘和蒺藜,
你要吃田间长出来的菜蔬。
19 你必汗流满面,才有饭吃,
一直到你归回尘土。
因为你是尘土造的,
也必归回尘土。”

14 So the Lord God said to the serpent, “Because you have done this,

“Cursed(A) are you above all livestock
    and all wild animals!
You will crawl on your belly
    and you will eat dust(B)
    all the days of your life.
15 And I will put enmity
    between you and the woman,
    and between your offspring[a](C) and hers;(D)
he will crush[b] your head,(E)
    and you will strike his heel.”

16 To the woman he said,

“I will make your pains in childbearing very severe;
    with painful labor you will give birth to children.(F)
Your desire will be for your husband,
    and he will rule over you.(G)

17 To Adam he said, “Because you listened to your wife and ate fruit from the tree about which I commanded you, ‘You must not eat from it,’(H)

“Cursed(I) is the ground(J) because of you;
    through painful toil(K) you will eat food from it
    all the days of your life.(L)
18 It will produce thorns and thistles(M) for you,
    and you will eat the plants of the field.(N)
19 By the sweat of your brow(O)
    you will eat your food(P)
until you return to the ground,
    since from it you were taken;
for dust you are
    and to dust you will return.”(Q)
