Nagkasala ang Tao
3 Ang(A) ahas ang pinakatuso sa lahat ng hayop na nilikha ng Panginoong Yahweh. Isang araw tinanong nito ang babae, “Totoo bang sinabi ng Diyos na huwag kayong kakain ng anumang bungangkahoy sa halamanan?”
2 Sumagot ang babae, “Maaari naming kainin ang anumang bunga sa halamanan, 3 huwag lamang ang bunga ng puno na nasa gitna niyon. Sinabi ng Diyos na huwag naming kakainin ni hihipuin man ang bunga nito; kung kami raw ay kakain nito, mamamatay kami.”
4 Ngunit sinabi ng ahas, “Hindi totoo iyan, hindi kayo mamamatay! 5 Sinabi lang iyan ng Diyos, sapagkat alam niyang kung kakain kayo ng bunga niyon ay makakaunawa kayo. Kayo'y magiging parang Diyos at malalaman ninyo ang mabuti at masama.”
6 Ang punongkahoy ay napakaganda sa paningin ng babae at sa palagay niya'y masarap ang bunga nito. Naisip din niya na kahanga-hanga ang maging marunong, kaya't pumitas siya ng bunga at kumain nito. Binigyan niya ang kanyang asawa, at kumain din ito. 7 Nagkaroon nga sila ng pagkaunawa matapos kumain. Noon nila nalamang sila'y hubad, kaya kumuha sila ng mga dahon ng igos, pinagtahi-tahi nila ang mga ito at ginawang panakip sa katawan.
8 Nang dapit-hapon na, narinig nilang naglalakad sa halamanan ang Panginoong Yahweh, kaya't nagtago sila sa mga puno. 9 Ngunit tinawag niya ang lalaki at tinanong, “Saan ka naroon?”
10 “Natakot po ako nang marinig kong kayo'y nasa halamanan; nagtago po ako sapagkat ako'y hubad,” sagot ng lalaki.
11 Nagtanong muli ang Diyos, “Sinong maysabi sa iyong hubad ka? Bakit, kumain ka ba ng bungang ipinagbabawal ko?”
12 “Kasi, pinakain po ako ng babaing ibinigay ninyo sa akin,” tugon ng lalaki.
13 “Bakit(B) mo ginawa ang bagay na iyon?” tanong ng Panginoong Yahweh sa babae.
“Mangyari po'y nilinlang ako ng ahas, kaya ako natuksong kumain,” sagot naman nito.
Inihayag ng Diyos ang Kaparusahan
14 At sinabi ng Panginoong Yahweh sa ahas:
“Sa iyong ginawa'y may parusang dapat,
na ikaw lang sa lahat ng hayop ang magdaranas;
mula ngayon ikaw ay gagapang,
at ang pagkain mo'y alikabok lamang.
15 Kayo(C) ng babae'y aking pag-aawayin,
binhi mo't binhi niya'y lagi kong paglalabanin.
Ang binhi niya ang dudurog sa iyong ulo,
at sa sakong niya'y ikaw ang tutuklaw.”
16 Sa babae nama'y ito ang sinabi:
“Sa pagbubuntis mo'y hirap ang daranasin,
at sa panganganak sakit ay titiisin;
ang asawang lalaki'y iyong nanasain,
pasasakop ka sa kanya't siya mong susundin.”
17 Ito(D) naman ang sinabi ng Diyos kay Adan:
“Dahil nakinig ka sa iyong asawa,
nang iyong kainin ang ipinagbawal kong bunga;
dahil dito'y sinusumpa ko ang lupa,
sa hirap ng pagbubungkal, pagkain mo'y magmumula.
18 Mga damo at tinik ang iyong aanihin,
halaman sa gubat ang iyong kakainin;
19 sa pagod at pawis pagkain mo'y manggagaling
maghihirap ka hanggang sa malibing.
Dahil sa alabok, doon ka nanggaling,
sa lupang alabok ay babalik ka rin.”
20 Eva[a] ang itinawag ni Adan sa kanyang asawa, sapagkat siya ang ina ng sangkatauhan. 21 Ang mag-asawa'y iginawa niya ng mga damit na yari sa balat ng hayop.
Pinalayas sa Hardin si Adan at si Eva
22 Pagkatapos,(E) sinabi ng Panginoong Yahweh, “Katulad na natin ngayon ang tao, sapagkat alam na niya ang mabuti at masama. Baka pumitas siya at kumain ng bungangkahoy na nagbibigay-buhay at hindi na siya mamatay.” 23 Kaya, pinalayas niya sa halamanan ng Eden ang tao upang magbungkal ng lupang kanyang pinagmulan.
24 Pinalayas nga siya ng Diyos. At sa dakong silangan ng halamanan ng Eden ay naglagay ang Diyos ng bantay na kerubin. Naglagay rin siya ng espadang nagniningas na umiikot sa lahat ng panig upang hindi malapitan ninuman ang punongkahoy ng buhay.

Genesis 3
New Century Version
The Beginning of Sin
3 Now the snake was the most clever of all the wild animals the Lord God had made. One day the snake said to the woman, “Did God really say that you must not eat fruit from any tree in the garden?”
2 The woman answered the snake, “We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden. 3 But God told us, ‘You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden. You must not even touch it, or you will die.’”
4 But the snake said to the woman, “You will not die. 5 God knows that if you eat the fruit from that tree, you will learn about good and evil and you will be like God!”
6 The woman saw that the tree was beautiful, that its fruit was good to eat, and that it would make her wise. So she took some of its fruit and ate it. She also gave some of the fruit to her husband who was with her, and he ate it.
7 Then, it was as if their eyes were opened. They realized they were naked, so they sewed fig leaves together and made something to cover themselves.
8 Then they heard the Lord God walking in the garden during the cool part of the day, and the man and his wife hid from the Lord God among the trees in the garden. 9 But the Lord God called to the man and said, “Where are you?”
10 The man answered, “I heard you walking in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked, so I hid.”
11 God asked, “Who told you that you were naked? Did you eat fruit from the tree from which I commanded you not to eat?”
12 The man said, “You gave this woman to me and she gave me fruit from the tree, so I ate it.”
13 Then the Lord God said to the woman, “How could you have done such a thing?”
She answered, “The snake tricked me, so I ate the fruit.”
14 The Lord God said to the snake,
“Because you did this,
a curse will be put on you.
You will be cursed as no other animal, tame or wild, will ever be.
You will crawl on your stomach,
and you will eat dust all the days of your life.
15 I will make you and the woman
enemies to each other.
Your descendants and her descendants
will be enemies.
One of her descendants will crush your head,
and you will bite his heel.”
16 Then God said to the woman,
“I will cause you to have much trouble
when you are pregnant,
and when you give birth to children,
you will have great pain.
You will greatly desire your husband,
but he will rule over you.”
17 Then God said to the man, “You listened to what your wife said, and you ate fruit from the tree from which I commanded you not to eat.
“So I will put a curse on the ground,
and you will have to work very hard for your food.
In pain you will eat its food
all the days of your life.
18 The ground will produce thorns and weeds for you,
and you will eat the plants of the field.
19 You will sweat and work hard for your food.
Later you will return to the ground,
because you were taken from it.
You are dust,
and when you die, you will return to the dust.”
20 The man named his wife Eve,[a] because she was the mother of all the living.
21 The Lord God made clothes from animal skins for the man and his wife and dressed them. 22 Then the Lord God said, “Humans have become like one of us; they know good and evil. We must keep them from eating some of the fruit from the tree of life, or they will live forever.” 23 So the Lord God forced Adam out of the garden of Eden to work the ground from which he was taken. 24 After God forced humans out of the garden, he placed angels and a sword of fire that flashed around in every direction on its eastern border. This kept people from getting to the tree of life.

New International Version
The Fall
3 Now the serpent(A) was more crafty than any of the wild animals the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden’?(B)”
2 The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden,(C) 3 but God did say, ‘You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die.’”(D)
4 “You will not certainly die,” the serpent said to the woman.(E) 5 “For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God,(F) knowing good and evil.”
6 When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable(G) for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband,(H) who was with her, and he ate it.(I) 7 Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked;(J) so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves.(K)
8 Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the Lord God as he was walking(L) in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid(M) from the Lord God among the trees of the garden. 9 But the Lord God called to the man, “Where are you?”(N)
10 He answered, “I heard you in the garden, and I was afraid(O) because I was naked;(P) so I hid.”
11 And he said, “Who told you that you were naked?(Q) Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?(R)”
12 The man said, “The woman you put here with me(S)—she gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate it.”
13 Then the Lord God said to the woman, “What is this you have done?”
The woman said, “The serpent deceived me,(T) and I ate.”
14 So the Lord God said to the serpent, “Because you have done this,
“Cursed(U) are you above all livestock
and all wild animals!
You will crawl on your belly
and you will eat dust(V)
all the days of your life.
15 And I will put enmity
between you and the woman,
and between your offspring[a](W) and hers;(X)
he will crush[b] your head,(Y)
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.(Z)
Your desire will be for your husband,
and he will rule over you.(AA)”
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,’(AB)
“Cursed(AC) is the ground(AD) because of you;
through painful toil(AE) you will eat food from it
all the days of your life.(AF)
18 It will produce thorns and thistles(AG) for you,
and you will eat the plants of the field.(AH)
19 By the sweat of your brow(AI)
you will eat your food(AJ)
until you return to the ground,
since from it you were taken;
for dust you are
and to dust you will return.”(AK)
20 Adam[c] named his wife Eve,[d](AL) because she would become the mother of all the living.
21 The Lord God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife and clothed them.(AM) 22 And the Lord God said, “The man has now become like one of us,(AN) knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life(AO) and eat, and live forever.” 23 So the Lord God banished him from the Garden of Eden(AP) to work the ground(AQ) from which he had been taken. 24 After he drove the man out, he placed on the east side[e] of the Garden of Eden(AR) cherubim(AS) and a flaming sword(AT) flashing back and forth to guard the way to the tree of life.(AU)
