Genesis 3
English Standard Version
The Fall
3 Now (A)the serpent was more crafty than any other beast of the field that the Lord God had made.
He said to the woman, “Did God actually say, ‘You[a] shall not eat of any tree in the garden’?” 2 And the woman said to the serpent, “We may eat of the fruit of the trees in the garden, 3 but God said, (B)‘You shall not eat of the fruit of the tree that is in the midst of the garden, neither shall you touch it, lest you die.’” 4 (C)But the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die. 5 For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, 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,[b] she took of its fruit (D)and ate, and she also gave some to her husband who was with her, (E)and he ate. 7 (F)Then the eyes of both were opened, (G)and they knew that they were naked. And they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves loincloths.
8 And they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool[c] of the day, and the man and his wife (H)hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden. 9 But the Lord God called to the man and said to him, “Where are you?”[d] 10 And he said, “I heard the sound of you in the garden, and I was afraid, (I)because I was naked, and I hid myself.” 11 He said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten of the tree of which I commanded you not to eat?” 12 The man said, (J)“The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me fruit of the tree, and I ate.” 13 Then the Lord God said to the woman, “What is this that you have done?” The woman said, (K)“The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”
14 The Lord God said to the serpent,
“Because you have done this,
cursed are you above all livestock
and above all beasts of the field;
on your belly you shall go,
and (L)dust you shall eat
all the days of your life.
15 I will put enmity between you and the woman,
and between your offspring[e] and (M)her offspring;
(N)he shall bruise your head,
and you shall bruise his heel.”
16 To the woman he said,
“I will surely multiply your pain in childbearing;
(O)in pain you shall bring forth children.
(P)Your desire shall be for[f] your husband,
and he shall (Q)rule over you.”
17 And to Adam he said,
“Because you have listened to the voice of your wife
and have eaten of the tree
(R)of which I commanded you,
‘You shall not eat of it,’
(S)cursed is the ground because of you;
(T)in pain you shall eat of it all the days of your life;
18 thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for you;
and you shall eat the plants of the field.
19 By the sweat of your face
you shall eat bread,
till you return to the ground,
for out of it you were taken;
(U)for you are dust,
and (V)to dust you shall return.”
20 The man called his wife's name Eve, because she was the mother of all living.[g] 21 And the Lord God made for Adam and for his wife garments of skins and clothed them.
22 Then the Lord God said, (W)“Behold, the man has become like one of us in knowing good and evil. Now, lest he reach out his hand (X)and take also of the tree of life and eat, and live forever—” 23 therefore the Lord God sent him out from the garden of Eden (Y)to work the ground from which he was taken. 24 He drove out the man, and at the east of the garden of Eden he placed the (Z)cherubim and a flaming sword that turned every way to guard the way to the tree of life.

Haitian Creole Version
3 ¶ Sèpan se bèt ki te pi rize nan tout bèt raje Seyè a, Bondye a, te kreye. Li di fanm lan konsa. Eske Bondye te janm di piga nou manje donn tout pyebwa ki nan jaden an?
2 Fanm lan reponn sèpan an. Nou gen dwa manje donn tout pyebwa ki nan jaden an.
3 Men, kanta pou pyebwa ki nan mitan jaden an, Bondye di. Piga nou manje ladan l', piga nou manyen l' menm. Sinon, n'ap mouri.
4 Lè sa a, sèpan an di fanm lan. Se pa vre. Nou p'ap mouri kras.
5 Bondye di nou sa paske li konnen jou nou manje ladan l', je nou va louvri. n'a vin tankou Bondye, n'a konn sa ki byen ak sa ki mal.
6 ¶ Fanm lan gade, li wè jan pyebwa a te bèl, jan fwi yo sanble yo ta bon nan bouch. Li santi li ta manje ladan l' pou je l' ka louvri. Li keyi kèk fwi. Li manje, li pote bay mari l' ki manje tou.
7 Manje yo fin manje, je yo louvri, lè sa a, yo vin konnen yo toutouni. Yo pran kèk fèy figfrans, yo koud yo ansanm, yo fè tanga mete sou yo.
8 Jou sa a, solèy te fèk fin kouche lè nonm lan ak madanm li tande vwa Seyè a, Bondye a, ki t'ap pwonmennen nan jaden an. Y' al kache nan mitan pyebwa ki nan jaden an pou Seyè a, Bondye a, pa wè yo.
9 ¶ Men, Seyè a, Bondye a, rele nonm lan, li di l'. Kote ou ye?
10 Nonm lan reponn li. Mwen tande vwa ou nan jaden an, mwen pè. M al kache pou ou, paske mwen toutouni.
11 ¶ Seyè a, Bondye a, di l'. Ki moun ki di ou te toutouni? Eske ou te manje fwi pyebwa mwen te di ou pa manje a?
12 Nonm lan reponn. Fanm ou te ban mwen an, se li menm ki ban mwen fwi pyebwa a pou m' manje, epi mwen manje l'.
13 Seyè a, Bondye a, mande fanm lan. Poukisa ou fè sa? Fanm lan reponn li. Se pa mwen non! Se sèpan an wi ki pran tèt mwen ki fè m' manje l'.
14 ¶ Seyè a, Bondye a, di sèpan an konsa. Poutèt sa ou fè a, ou madichonnen nan mitan tout bèt jaden ak tout bèt nan bwa. W'a rale sou vant ou. W'a manje pousyè tè jouk jou ou mouri.
15 Ou menm ak fanm lan, m'ap fè nou lènmi yonn ak lòt. Pitit pitit pa l' ak pitit pitit pa ou ap lènmi tou. Pitit pitit li ap kraze tèt ou, epi ou menm w'ap mòde l' nan talon pye l'.
16 ¶ Li di fanm lan. Lè w'ap fè pitit, m'ap fè soufrans ou vin pi rèd. Wa gen pou soufri anpil lè w'ap akouche. W'ap toujou anvi mari ou. Men, se mari ou ki va chèf ou.
17 ¶ Apre sa li di Adan. Ou koute pawòl madanm ou, pa vre! Ou manje fwi pyebwa mwen te ba ou lòd pa manje a. Poutèt sa ou fè a, m'ap madichonnen tè a. W'a gen pou travay di toutan pou fè tè a bay sa ou bezwen pou viv.
18 Tè a va kale tout kalite pikan ak pengwen ba ou. W'a manje fèy ki pouse nan raje.
19 Se swe kouraj ou ki pou fè ou mete yon moso pen nan bouch ou jouk lè wa tounen nan tè kote ou soti a. Paske, se pousyè ou ye, ou gen pou tounen pousyè ankò.
20 ¶ Adan bay madanm li non, li rele l' Ev, paske se li menm ki manman tout moun k'ap viv sou tè a.
21 ¶ Lè sa a, Seyè a, Bondye a, pran po bèt, li fè rad pou Adan ansanm ak madanm li, li biye yo.
22 ¶ Apre sa, Seyè a, Bondye a, di. Koulye a, Adan vin konnen sa ki byen ak sa ki mal tankou yonn nan nou. Nou p'ap kite l' lonje men l' keyi fwi pyebwa ki bay lavi a pou l' manje l', pou l' pa viv pou tout tan.
23 Se konsa, Seyè a, Bondye a, mete Adan deyò nan jaden Edenn lan. Li voye l' al travay tè, menm tè Bondye te pran pou fè l' la.
24 Se konsa, li te mete Adan deyò. Sou bò kote solèy leve nan jaden an, li mete kèk zanj cheriben ak yon manchèt klere kou dife nan men yo. Yo t'ap dragonnen nan tout direksyon pou anpeche moun pwoche bò pyebwa ki bay lavi a.
