17 Then to Adam He said, (A)“Because you have heeded the voice of your wife, and have eaten from the tree (B)of which I commanded you, saying, ‘You shall not eat of it’:

(C)“Cursed is the ground for your sake;
(D)In toil you shall eat of it
All the days of your life.
18 Both thorns and thistles it shall [a]bring forth for you,
And (E)you shall eat the herb of the field.
19 (F)In the sweat of your face you shall eat bread
Till you return to the ground,
For out of it you were taken;
(G)For dust you are,
And (H)to dust you shall return.”

“Because you have listened to the voice of your wife
    and have eaten of the tree

    ‘You shall not eat of it,’
(B)cursed is the ground because of you;
    (C)in pain you shall eat of it all the days of your life;

17 (A) Till Adam sade han:
    ”Du lyssnade på din hustru
        och åt av trädet
    som jag befallde dig
        att inte äta av.
    Därför ska marken vara
        förbannad för din skull.
    Med möda ska du livnära dig
        av den så länge du lever.
18 Törne och tistel ska den bära åt dig,
    och du ska äta av markens örter.
19 (B) I ditt anletes svett
        ska du äta ditt bröd
    tills du vänder åter till jorden,
        för av den är du tagen.
    Jord är du,
        och jord ska du åter bli.”
