Desobediencia y caída del hombre

Y la serpiente era más astuta(A) que cualquiera de los animales del campo que el Señor Dios había hecho. Y dijo a la mujer: ¿Conque Dios os ha dicho: «No comeréis de ningún árbol del huerto»? Y la mujer respondió a la serpiente: Del fruto de los árboles del huerto podemos comer; pero del fruto del árbol que está en medio del huerto, ha dicho Dios: «No comeréis de él, ni lo tocaréis, para que no muráis(B)». Y la serpiente dijo a la mujer: Ciertamente no moriréis(C). Pues Dios sabe que el día que de él comáis, serán abiertos vuestros ojos y seréis como Dios, conociendo el bien y el mal(D). Cuando la mujer vio que el árbol era bueno para comer, y que era agradable[a] a los ojos, y que el árbol era deseable para alcanzar sabiduría[b], tomó de su fruto y comió; y dio también a su marido que estaba con ella, y él comió(E). Entonces fueron abiertos los ojos de ambos, y conocieron que estaban desnudos(F); y cosieron hojas de higuera y se hicieron delantales[c].

Sentencia por el pecado y promesa de redención

Y oyeron al[d] Señor Dios que se paseaba(G) en el huerto al fresco[e] del día; y el hombre y su mujer se escondieron(H) de la presencia del Señor Dios entre los árboles del huerto. Y el Señor Dios llamó al hombre, y le dijo: ¿Dónde estás(I)? 10 Y él respondió: Te oí[f] en el huerto, y tuve miedo(J) porque estaba desnudo, y me escondí. 11 Y Dios le dijo: ¿Quién te ha hecho saber que estabas desnudo? ¿Has comido del árbol del cual te mandé que no comieras? 12 Y el hombre respondió: La mujer que tú me diste por compañera[g] me dio del árbol, y yo comí(K). 13 Entonces el Señor Dios dijo a la mujer: ¿Qué es esto que has hecho? Y la mujer respondió: La serpiente me engañó(L), y yo comí. 14 Y el Señor Dios dijo a la serpiente:

Por cuanto has hecho esto,
maldita(M) serás[h] más que todos los animales,
y más que todas las bestias del campo;
sobre tu vientre andarás,
y polvo comerás(N)
todos los días de tu vida.
15 Y pondré enemistad
entre tú y la mujer(O),
y entre tu simiente y su simiente;
él te herirá en[i] la cabeza,
y tú lo herirás en el calcañar(P).

16 A la mujer dijo:

En gran manera multiplicaré
tu dolor en el parto[j],
con dolor darás a luz los hijos(Q);
y con todo, tu deseo será para tu marido,
y él tendrá dominio sobre ti(R).

17 Entonces dijo a Adán: Por cuanto has escuchado la voz de tu mujer y has comido del árbol del cual te ordené, diciendo: «No comerás de él»,

maldita(S) será[k] la tierra por tu causa;
con trabajo[l](T) comerás de ella
todos los días de tu vida.
18 Espinos y abrojos te producirá,
y comerás de las plantas[m] del campo.
19 Con el sudor de tu rostro
comerás el pan
hasta que vuelvas a la tierra(U),
porque de ella fuiste tomado;
pues polvo eres(V),
y al polvo volverás.

20 Y el hombre le puso por nombre Eva[n](W) a su mujer, porque ella era la madre de todos los vivientes. 21 Y el Señor Dios hizo vestiduras de piel para Adán y su mujer, y los vistió.

Castigo por el pecado

22 Entonces el Señor Dios dijo: He aquí, el hombre ha venido a ser como uno de nosotros(X), conociendo el bien y el mal; cuidado ahora no vaya a extender su mano y tomar también del árbol de la vida(Y), y coma y viva para siempre. 23 Y el Señor Dios lo echó del huerto del Edén, para que labrara la tierra de la cual fue tomado. 24 Expulsó, pues, al hombre(Z); y al oriente del huerto del Edén(AA) puso querubines(AB), y una espada encendida que giraba en todas direcciones, para guardar el camino del árbol de la vida(AC).

Now the serpent was more subtle than any of the beasts of the earth which the Lord God had made. And he said to the woman: Why hath God commanded you, that you should not eat of every tree of paradise?

And the woman answered him, saying: Of the fruit of the trees that are in paradise we do eat:

But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of paradise, God hath commanded us that we should not eat; and that we should not touch it, lest perhaps we die.

And the serpent said to the woman: No, you shall not die the death.

For God doth know that in what day soever you shall eat thereof, your eyes shall be opened: and you shall be as Gods, knowing good and evil.

And the woman saw that the tree was good to eat, and fair to the eyes, and delightful to behold: and she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave to her husband who did eat.

And the eyes of them both were opened: and when they perceived themselves to be naked, they sewed together fig leaves, and made themselves aprons.

And when they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in paradise at the afternoon air, Adam and his wife hid themselves from the face of the Lord God, amidst the trees of paradise.

And the Lord God called Adam, and said to him: Where art thou?

10 And he said: I heard thy voice in paradise; and I was afraid, because I was naked, and I hid myself.

11 And he said to him: And who hath told thee that thou wast naked, but that thou hast eaten of the tree whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldst not eat?

12 And Adam said: The woman, whom thou gavest me to be my companion, gave me of the tree, and I did eat.

13 And the Lord God said to the woman: Why hast thou done this? And she answered: The serpent deceived me, and I did eat.

14 And the Lord God said to the serpent: Because thou hast done this thing, thou art cursed among all cattle, and beasts of the earth: upon thy breast shalt thou go, and earth shalt thou eat all the days of thy life.

15 I will put enmities between thee and the woman, and thy seed and her seed: she shall crush thy head, and thou shalt lie in wait for her heel.

16 To the woman also he said: I will multiply thy sorrows, and thy conceptions: in sorrow shalt thou bring forth children, and thou shalt be under thy husband's power, and he shall have dominion over thee.

17 And to Adam he said: Because thou hast hearkened to the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldst not eat, cursed is the earth in thy work; with labour and toil shalt thou eat thereof all the days of thy life.

18 Thorns and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herbs of the earth.

19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread till thou return to the earth, out of which thou wast taken: for dust thou art, and into dust thou shalt return.

20 And Adam called the name of his wife Eve: because she was the mother of all the living.

21 And the Lord God made for Adam and his wife, garments of skins, and clothed them.

22 And he said: Behold Adam is become as one of us, knowing good and evil: now, therefore, lest perhaps he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever.

23 And the Lord God sent him out of the paradise of pleasure, to till the earth from which he was taken.

24 And he cast out Adam; and placed before the paradise of pleasure Cherubims, and a flaming sword, turning every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.

Now the serpent was more cunning than any wild animal which the LORD God had made; and he said to the woman, “Has God really said, ‘You shall not eat of every tree of the garden’?”

And the woman said to the serpent, “We eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden.

“But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God has said, ‘You shall not eat of it, nor shall you touch it, lest you die.’”

Then the serpent said to the woman, “You shall not die at all.

“But, God knows that when you shall eat thereof, your eyes shall be opened; and you shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.”6 So the woman (seeing that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired, to get knowledge) took of the fruit thereof and ate; and also gave to her husband with her, and he ate.

Then, the eyes of them both were opened; and they knew that they were naked. And they sewed fig tree leaves together and made themselves coverings.

Afterward, they heard the voice of the LORD God, walking in the garden in the cool of the day. And the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God, among the trees of the garden.

But the LORD God called to the man, and said to him, “Where are you?”

10 Who said, “I heard Your voice in the garden and was afraid, because I was naked. Therefore, I hid myself.”

11 And He said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten of the tree whereof I commanded you that you should not eat?”

12 Then the man said, “The woman, which You gave to be with me, she gave to me from the tree, and I ate.”

13 And the LORD God said to the woman, “Why have you done this?” And the woman said, “The serpent tricked me, and I ate.”

14 Then the LORD God said to the serpent, “Because you have done this, you are cursed above all cattle, and above every wild animal. Upon your belly you shall go; and you shall eat dust all the days of your life.

15 “I will also put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed. He shall break your head and you shall bruise His heel.”

16 To the woman, He said, “I will greatly increase your sorrows and your conceptions. In sorrow you shall bring forth children. And your desire shall be subject to your husband. And he shall rule over you.”

17 Also, He said to Adam, “Because you have obeyed the voice of your wife and have eaten from the tree (whereof I commanded you, saying, ‘You shall not eat of it’), the earth is cursed for your sake. In sorrow you shall eat from it, all the days of your life.

18 “Also, it shall bring forth thorns and thistles to you. And you shall eat the herb of the field.

19 “In the sweat of your face you shall eat bread, until you return to the earth. For out of it you were taken because you are dust, and to dust you shall return.”

20 And the man called his wife’s name “Eve”, because she was the mother of all living.

21 Also, to Adam and to his wife, the LORD God made coats of skins, and clothed them.

22 And the LORD God said, “Behold, the man has become as one of us, knowing good and evil. And now, lest he also put forth his hand and take and eat of the Tree of Life, and live forever…”

23 Therefore, the LORD God sent him forth from the Garden of Eden, to till the earth from where he was taken.

24 Thus, He cast out the man; and at the east side of the Garden of Eden, He set the Cherubims, and the blade of a shaken sword, to keep the way of the Tree of Life.
