创世记 3
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
始祖被引诱而违主命
3 在耶和华 神所造野地所有的活物中，蛇是最狡猾的。蛇对女人说：“ 神真的说过，你们不可吃园中任何树上的果子吗？” 2 女人对蛇说：“园中树上的果子，我们都可以吃； 3 只有园中那棵树上的果子， 神曾经说过：‘你们不可吃，也不可摸，免得你们死。’” 4 蛇对女人说：“你们决不会死； 5 因为 神知道你们吃那果子的时候，你们的眼睛就开了；你们会像 神一样，能知道善恶。” 6 于是，女人见那棵树的果子好作食物，又悦人的眼目，而且讨人喜爱，能使人有智慧，就摘下果子来吃了；又给了和她在一起的丈夫，他也吃了。 7 二人的眼睛就开了，才知道自己是赤身露体的。于是把无花果树的叶子编缝起来，为自己做裙子。
8 天起凉风的时候，那人和他的妻子听见耶和华 神在园中行走的声音，就藏在园子的树林中，躲避耶和华 神的面。 9 耶和华 神呼唤那人，对他说：“你在哪里？” 10 他回答：“我在园中听见你的声音，就害怕；因为我赤身露体，就藏了起来。” 11 耶和华 神说：“谁告诉你，你是赤身露体呢？难道你吃了我吩咐你不可吃的那树上的果子吗？” 12 那人说：“你所赐给我、和我在一起的那女人，她把树上的果子给我，我就吃了。” 13 耶和华 神对女人说：“你作了甚么事呢？”女人说：“那蛇欺哄我，我就吃了。”
惩罚与应许
14 耶和华 神对蛇说：
“因为你作了这事，
就必在所有的牲畜
和田野的活物中受咒诅；
你要用肚子行走，
一生都吃泥土。
15 我要使你和女人彼此为仇，
你的后裔和女人的后裔，
也彼此为仇，
他要伤你的头，
你要伤他的脚跟。”
16 耶和华 神对女人说：
“我要大大增加你怀胎的痛苦，
你必在痛苦中生产儿女；
你要恋慕你的丈夫，
他却要管辖你。”
17 耶和华 神又对亚当说：“因为你听从了你妻子的话，吃了我吩咐你不可吃的那树上的果子；
地就必因你的缘故受咒诅；
你必终生劳苦，才能从地里得吃的。
18 地要给你长出荆棘和蒺藜来；
你也要吃田间的蔬菜；
19 你必汗流满面，
才有饭吃，
直到你归回地土，
因为你是从地土取出来的；
你既然是尘土，就要归回尘土。”
被逐出伊甸园
20 亚当给他的妻子起名叫夏娃，因为她是众生之母。 21 耶和华 神为亚当和他的妻子做了皮衣，给他们穿上。
22 耶和华 神说：“那人和我们中间的一个相似，能知善恶；现在恐怕他伸出手来，摘取生命树上的果子吃，就永远活着。” 23 耶和华 神就把他赶出伊甸园，去耕种他自己也是从那里出来的地土。 24 于是把亚当驱逐出去，又派基路伯在伊甸园的东边，拿着旋转发火焰的剑，把守到生命树去的路。
Genesis 3
International Children’s Bible
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 spoke to the woman. He said, “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. Then you will be like God!”
6 The woman saw that the tree was beautiful. She saw 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 the man’s and the woman’s 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. This was 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. The Lord said, “Where are you?”
10 The man answered, “I heard you walking in the garden. I was afraid because I was naked. So I hid.”
11 God said to the man, “Who told you that you were naked? Did you eat fruit from that tree? I commanded you not to eat from that tree.”
12 The man said, “You gave this woman to me. She gave me fruit from the tree. So I ate it.”
13 Then the Lord God said to the woman, “What have you done?”
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 more than any tame animal or wild animal.
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.
Her child 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 that I commanded you not to eat from.
“So I will put a curse on the ground.
You will have to work very hard for 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.
This is because you were taken from the ground.
You are dust.
And when you die, you will return to the dust.”
20 The man named his wife Eve.[a] This is because she is the mother of everyone who ever lived.
21 The Lord God made clothes from animal skins for the man and his wife. And so the Lord dressed them. 22 Then the Lord God said, “Look, the man has become like one of us. He knows good and evil. And now we must keep him from eating some of the fruit from the tree of life. If he does, he will live forever.” 23 So the Lord God forced the man out of the garden of Eden. He had to work the ground he was taken from. 24 God forced the man out of the garden. Then God put angels on the east side of the garden. He also put a sword of fire there. It flashed around in every direction. This kept people from getting to the tree of life.
