Genesis 3
New Living Translation
The Man and Woman Sin
3 The serpent was the shrewdest of all the wild animals the Lord God had made. One day he asked the woman, “Did God really say you must not eat the fruit from any of the trees in the garden?”
2 “Of course we may eat fruit from the trees in the garden,” the woman replied. 3 “It’s only the fruit from the tree in the middle of the garden that we are not allowed to eat. God said, ‘You must not eat it or even touch it; if you do, you will die.’”
4 “You won’t die!” the serpent replied to the woman. 5 “God knows that your eyes will be opened as soon as you eat it, and you will be like God, knowing both good and evil.”
6 The woman was convinced. She saw that the tree was beautiful and its fruit looked delicious, and she wanted the wisdom it would give her. So she took some of the fruit and ate it. Then she gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it, too. 7 At that moment their eyes were opened, and they suddenly felt shame at their nakedness. So they sewed fig leaves together to cover themselves.
8 When the cool evening breezes were blowing, the man[a] and his wife heard the Lord God walking about in the garden. So they hid from the Lord God among the trees. 9 Then the Lord God called to the man, “Where are you?”
10 He replied, “I heard you walking in the garden, so I hid. I was afraid because I was naked.”
11 “Who told you that you were naked?” the Lord God asked. “Have you eaten from the tree whose fruit I commanded you not to eat?”
12 The man replied, “It was the woman you gave me who gave me the fruit, and I ate it.”
13 Then the Lord God asked the woman, “What have you done?”
“The serpent deceived me,” she replied. “That’s why I ate it.”
14 Then the Lord God said to the serpent,
“Because you have done this, you are cursed
more than all animals, domestic and wild.
You will crawl on your belly,
groveling in the dust as long as you live.
15 And I will cause hostility between you and the woman,
and between your offspring and her offspring.
He will strike[b] your head,
and you will strike his heel.”
16 Then he said to the woman,
“I will sharpen the pain of your pregnancy,
and in pain you will give birth.
And you will desire to control your husband,
but he will rule over you.[c]”
17 And to the man he said,
“Since you listened to your wife and ate from the tree
whose fruit I commanded you not to eat,
the ground is cursed because of you.
All your life you will struggle to scratch a living from it.
18 It will grow thorns and thistles for you,
though you will eat of its grains.
19 By the sweat of your brow
will you have food to eat
until you return to the ground
from which you were made.
For you were made from dust,
and to dust you will return.”
Paradise Lost: God’s Judgment
20 Then the man—Adam—named his wife Eve, because she would be the mother of all who live.[d] 21 And the Lord God made clothing from animal skins for Adam and his wife.
22 Then the Lord God said, “Look, the human beings[e] have become like us, knowing both good and evil. What if they reach out, take fruit from the tree of life, and eat it? Then they will live forever!” 23 So the Lord God banished them from the Garden of Eden, and he sent Adam out to cultivate the ground from which he had been made. 24 After sending them out, the Lord God stationed mighty cherubim to the east of the Garden of Eden. And he placed a flaming sword that flashed back and forth to guard the way to the tree of life.
创世记 3
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
始祖犯罪
3 在耶和华上帝所造的田野的各种动物中，蛇最狡猾。蛇对女人说：“上帝真的说过不许你们吃园中所有树上的果子吗？” 2 女人回答说：“我们可以吃园中树上的果子， 3 只是不可以吃园子中间那棵树的果子。上帝曾经吩咐说，‘你们不可吃那果子，也不可摸，否则你们就会死。’” 4 蛇对女人说：“你们一定不会死！ 5 上帝那样说是因为祂知道你们吃了那树的果子以后，眼睛就会明亮，像上帝一样懂得分辨善恶。” 6 女人见那棵树上的果子可口，赏心悦目，可以使人有智慧，就摘下来吃了。她也把果子给跟她在一起的丈夫，他也吃了。 7 二人的眼睛果然明亮起来，这才发觉自己原来赤身露体，便把无花果树的叶子编起来遮体。
8 傍晚天凉时，夫妇二人听见耶和华上帝在园中行走的声音，就藏在园子的树丛中，想躲开耶和华上帝。 9 耶和华上帝呼唤那人说：“你在哪里？” 10 那人说：“我听见你在园中行走的声音，就害怕得躲了起来，因为我赤身露体！” 11 耶和华上帝问：“谁说你赤身露体？难道你吃了我吩咐你不可吃的果子吗？” 12 那人说：“你赐给我作伴的女人摘了那树上的果子给我，我就吃了。” 13 耶和华上帝对女人说：“你这做的是什么事？”女人说：“是蛇诱骗我，我才吃的。”
上帝的审判
14 耶和华上帝对蛇说：
“你既然做了这事，
你要比一切的牲畜和野兽受更重的咒诅，
你要用肚子爬行，
一生都要吃尘土。
15 我要使你和女人结仇，
你的后代和女人的后代也要彼此为仇，
女人的后代必伤你的头，
你必伤他的脚跟。”
16 耶和华上帝对女人说：
“我必大大加重你怀孕的痛苦，
你分娩时必受痛苦。
你必恋慕[a]自己的丈夫，
你的丈夫必管辖你。”
17 耶和华上帝又对亚当说：
“因为你听从妻子的话，
吃了我吩咐你不可吃的果子，
地必因你而受咒诅。
你必终生艰辛劳苦，
才能吃到地里出产的食物。
18 地必给你长出荆棘和蒺藜，
你要吃田间长出来的菜蔬。
19 你必汗流满面，才有饭吃，
一直到你归回尘土。
因为你是尘土造的，
也必归回尘土。”
20 亚当给他的妻子取名叫夏娃，因为她是众生之母。 21 耶和华上帝做了皮衣给他们夫妇穿。 22 耶和华上帝说：“看啊，那人已经与我们相似，能分辨善恶。现在，恐怕他会伸手去摘生命树的果子吃，那样他就会永远活着。” 23 因此，耶和华上帝就把亚当赶出伊甸园，让他去开垦土地——他的本源。 24 上帝赶走了亚当以后，就派遣基路伯天使驻守在伊甸园东边，又用一把旋转的火剑守护在通往生命树的路上。
