Gênesis 3
Nova Versão Internacional
O Relato da Queda
3 Ora, a serpente era o mais astuto de todos os animais selvagens que o Senhor Deus tinha feito. E ela perguntou à mulher: “Foi isto mesmo que Deus disse: ‘Não comam de nenhum fruto das árvores do jardim’?”
2 Respondeu a mulher à serpente: “Podemos comer do fruto das árvores do jardim, 3 mas Deus disse: ‘Não comam do fruto da árvore que está no meio do jardim, nem toquem nele; do contrário vocês morrerão’ ”.
4 Disse a serpente à mulher: “Certamente não morrerão! 5 Deus sabe que, no dia em que dele comerem, seus olhos se abrirão, e vocês, como Deus[a], serão conhecedores do bem e do mal”.
6 Quando a mulher viu que a árvore parecia agradável ao paladar, era atraente aos olhos e, além disso, desejável para dela se obter discernimento, tomou do seu fruto, comeu-o e o deu a seu marido, que comeu[b] também. 7 Os olhos dos dois se abriram, e perceberam que estavam nus; então juntaram folhas de figueira para cobrir-se.
8 Ouvindo o homem e sua mulher os passos[c] do Senhor Deus que andava pelo jardim quando soprava a brisa do dia, esconderam-se da presença do Senhor Deus entre as árvores do jardim. 9 Mas o Senhor Deus chamou o homem, perguntando: “Onde está você?”
10 E ele respondeu: “Ouvi teus passos no jardim e fiquei com medo, porque estava nu; por isso me escondi”.
11 E Deus perguntou: “Quem lhe disse que você estava nu? Você comeu do fruto da árvore da qual lhe proibi comer?”
12 Disse o homem: “Foi a mulher que me deste por companheira que me deu do fruto da árvore, e eu comi”.
13 O Senhor Deus perguntou então à mulher: “Que foi que você fez?”
Respondeu a mulher: “A serpente me enganou, e eu comi”.
14 Então o Senhor Deus declarou à serpente:
“Uma vez que você fez isso,
maldita é você
entre todos os rebanhos domésticos
e entre todos os animais selvagens!
Sobre o seu ventre você rastejará,
e pó comerá todos os dias da sua vida.
15 Porei inimizade
entre você e a mulher,
entre a sua descendência
e o descendente[d] dela;
este lhe ferirá a cabeça,
e você lhe ferirá o calcanhar”.
16 À mulher, ele declarou:
“Multiplicarei grandemente
o seu sofrimento na gravidez;
com sofrimento você dará à luz filhos.
Seu desejo será para o seu marido,
e ele[e] a dominará”.
17 E ao homem declarou:
“Visto que você deu ouvidos à sua mulher
e comeu do fruto da árvore
da qual eu lhe ordenara
que não comesse,
maldita é a terra por sua causa;
com sofrimento você
se alimentará dela
todos os dias da sua vida.
18 Ela lhe dará espinhos e ervas daninhas,
e você terá que alimentar-se
das plantas do campo.
19 Com o suor do seu rosto
você comerá o seu pão,
até que volte à terra,
visto que dela foi tirado;
porque você é pó,
e ao pó voltará”.
20 Adão deu à sua mulher o nome de Eva, pois ela seria mãe de toda a humanidade. 21 O Senhor Deus fez roupas de pele e com elas vestiu Adão e sua mulher.
22 Então disse o Senhor Deus: “Agora o homem se tornou como um de nós, conhecendo o bem e o mal. Não se deve, pois, permitir que ele tome também do fruto da árvore da vida e o coma, e viva para sempre”. 23 Por isso o Senhor Deus o mandou embora do jardim do Éden para cultivar o solo do qual fora tirado. 24 Depois de expulsar o homem, colocou a leste do jardim do Éden querubins e uma espada flamejante que se movia, guardando o caminho para a árvore da vida.

The First Sin and Its Punishment
3 Now the serpent was more crafty than any other wild animal that the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God say, ‘You shall not eat from any tree in the garden’?”(A) 2 The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat of the fruit of the trees in the garden, 3 but God said, ‘You shall not eat of the fruit of the tree that is in the middle of the garden, nor shall you touch it, or you shall die.’ ”(B) 4 But the serpent said to the woman, “You will not die,(C) 5 for God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God,[a] knowing good and evil.” 6 So 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 of its fruit and ate, and she also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate.(D) 7 Then the eyes of both were opened, and they knew that they were naked, and they sewed fig leaves together and made loincloths for themselves.
8 They heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden at the time of the evening breeze, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden.(E) 9 But the Lord God called to the man and said to him, “Where are you?” 10 He said, “I heard the sound of you in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked, and I hid myself.”(F) 11 He said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree of which I commanded you not to eat?” 12 The man said, “The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me fruit from the tree, and I ate.”(G) 13 Then the Lord God said to the woman, “What is this that you have done?” The woman said, “The serpent tricked me, and I ate.”(H) 14 The Lord God said to the serpent,
“Because you have done this,
cursed are you among all animals
and among all wild creatures;
upon your belly you shall go,
and dust you shall eat
all the days of your life.(I)
15 I will put enmity between you and the woman
and between your offspring and hers;
he will strike your head,
and you will strike his heel.”(J)
16 To the woman he said,
“I will make your pangs in childbirth exceedingly great;
in pain you shall bring forth children,
yet your desire shall be for your husband,
and he shall rule over you.”(K)
17 And to the man[b] he said,
“Because you have listened to the voice of your wife
and have eaten of the tree
about which I commanded you,
‘You shall not eat of it,’
cursed is the ground because of you;
in toil you shall eat of it all the days of your life;(L)
18 thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for you;
and you shall eat the plants of the field.(M)
19 By the sweat of your face
you shall eat bread
until you return to the ground,
for out of it you were taken;
you are dust,
and to dust you shall return.”(N)
20 The man named his wife Eve[c] because she was the mother of all living. 21 And the Lord God made garments of skins for the man[d] and for his wife and clothed them.
22 Then the Lord God said, “See, the humans have become like one of us, knowing good and evil, and now they might reach out their hands and take also from the tree of life and eat and live forever”(O)— 23 therefore the Lord God sent them forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from which they were taken.(P) 24 He drove out the humans, and at the east of the garden of Eden he placed the cherubim and a sword flaming and turning to guard the way to the tree of life.(Q)
Genesis 3
King James Version
3 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
2 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:
3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.
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 the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God amongst the trees of the garden.
9 And the Lord God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?
10 And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.
11 And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?
12 And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.
13 And the Lord God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.
14 And the Lord God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:
15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
16 Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.
17 And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;
18 Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field;
19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.
20 And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.
21 Unto Adam also and to his wife did the Lord God make coats of skins, and clothed them.
22 And the Lord God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:
23 Therefore the Lord God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.
24 So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.
