Zanafilla 3
Albanian Bible
3 Por gjarpri ishte më dinaku ndër të gjitha bishat e fushave që Zoti Perëndi kishte krijuar, dhe i tha gruas: "A ka thënë me të vërtetë Perëndia: Mos hani nga të gjitha pemët e kopshtit??"".
2 Dhe gruaja iu përgjegj gjarprit: "Nga fruti i pemëve të kopshtit mund të hamë;
3 por nga fruti i pemës që është në mes të kopshtit Perëndia ka thënë: "Mos hani dhe mos e prekni, ndryshe do të vdisni"".
4 Atëherë gjarpri i tha gruas: "Ju s’keni për të vdekur aspak;
5 por Perëndia e di që ditën që do t’i hani, sytë tuaj do të hapen dhe do të jeni në gjendje si Perëndia të njihni të mirën dhe të keqen".
6 Dhe gruaja pa që pema ishte e mirë për t’u ngrënë, që ishte e këndshme për sytë dhe që pema ishte i dëshirueshme për ta bërë të zgjuar dikë; dhe ajo mori nga fruti i saj, e hëngri dhe i dha edhe burrit të saj që ishte me të, dhe hëngri edhe ai.
7 Atëherë iu hapën sytë të dyve dhe e panë që ishin lakuriq; kështu ata qepën gjethe fiku dhe bënë breza për t’u mbuluar.
8 Pastaj dëgjuan zërin e Zotit Perëndi që shëtiste në kopsht në flladin e ditës; dhe burri e gruaja e tij u fshehën nga prania e Zotit Perëndi midis pemëve të kopshtit.
9 Atëherë Zoti Perëndi thirri njeriun dhe i tha: "Ku je?".
10 Ai u përgjigj: "Dëgjova zërin tënd në kopsht, dhe pata frikë sepse isha lakuriq dhe u fsheha".
11 Dhe Perëndia i tha: "Kush të tregoi se ishe lakuriq? Mos vallë ke ngrënë nga pema që unë të kisha urdhëruar të mos haje?".
12 Njeriu u përgjigj: "Gruaja që ti më vure pranë më dha nga pema dhe unë e hëngra".
13 Dhe Zoti Perëndi i tha gruas: "Pse e bëre këtë?". Gruaja u përgjigj: Gjarpri më mashtroi dhe unë hëngra prej sajj".
14 Atëherë Zoti Perëndi i tha gjarprit: "Me qenë se bëre këtë gjë, qofsh i mallkuar ndër gjithë kafshët dhe tërë bishat e fushave! Ti do të ecësh mbi barkun tënd dhe do të hash pluhur gjithë ditët e jetës sate.
15 Dhe unë do të shtie armiqësi midis teje dhe gruas, midis farës sate dhe farës së saj; fara e saj do të shtypë kokën tënde, dhe ti do të plagosësh thembrën e farës së saj".
16 Gruas i tha: "Unë do të shumëzoj në masë të madhe vuajtjet e tua dhe barrët e tua; me vuajtje do të lindësh fëmijë; dëshirat e tua do të drejtohen ndaj burrit tënd dhe ai do të sundojë mbi ty".
17 Pastaj i tha Adamit: "Me qenë se dëgjove zërin e gruas sate dhe hëngre nga pema për të cilën të kisha urdhëruar duke thënë: "Mos ha prej saj," toka do të jetë e mallkuar për shkakun tënd, ti do të hash frutin e saj me mund tërë ditët e jetës sate.
18 Ajo do të prodhojë gjemba dhe bimë gjembore, dhe ti do të hash barin e fushave;
19 do të hash bukën me djersën e ballit, deri sa të rikthehesh në dhe sepse nga ai ke dalë; sepse ti je pluhur dhe në pluhur do të rikthehesh".
20 Dhe burri i vuri gruas së tij emrin Evë, sepse ajo qe nëna e tërë të gjallëve.
21 Pastaj Zoti Perëndi i bëri Adamit dhe gruas së tij tunika prej lëkure dhe i veshi.
22 Dhe Zoti Perëndi tha: "Ja, njeriu u bë si një prej nesh, sepse njeh të mirën dhe të keqen. Dhe tani nuk duhet t’i lejohet të shtrijë dorën e tij për të marrë edhe nga pema e jetës kështu që, duke ngrënë nga ajo, të jetojë për gjithnjë".
23 Prandaj Zoti Perëndi e dëboi njeriun nga kopshti i Edenit, me qëllim, që të punonte tokën nga e cila kishte dalë.
24 Kështu ai e dëboi njeriun; dhe vendosi në lindje të kopshtit të Edenit kerubinët që vërtisnin nga çdo anë një shpatë flakëruese për të ruajtur rrugën e pemës së jetës.
Genesis 3
King James Version
3 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
2 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:
3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.
7 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.
8 And they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God amongst the trees of the garden.
9 And the Lord God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?
10 And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.
11 And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?
12 And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.
13 And the Lord God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.
14 And the Lord God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:
15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
16 Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.
17 And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;
18 Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field;
19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.
20 And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.
21 Unto Adam also and to his wife did the Lord God make coats of skins, and clothed them.
22 And the Lord God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:
23 Therefore the Lord God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.
24 So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.
Genesis 3
New King James Version
The Temptation and Fall of Man(A)
3 Now (B)the serpent was (C)more cunning than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said to the woman, “Has God indeed said, ‘You shall not eat of every tree of the garden’?”
2 And the woman said to the serpent, “We may eat the (D)fruit of the trees of the garden; 3 but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God has said, ‘You shall not eat it, nor shall you (E)touch it, lest you die.’ ”
4 (F)Then the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die. 5 For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”
6 So when the woman (G)saw that the tree was good for food, that it was [a]pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit (H)and ate. She also gave to her husband with her, and he ate. 7 Then the eyes of both of them were opened, (I)and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves [b]coverings.
8 And they heard (J)the [c]sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the [d]cool of the day, and Adam and his wife (K)hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden.
9 Then the Lord God called to Adam and said to him, “Where are you?”
10 So he said, “I heard Your voice in the garden, (L)and I was afraid because I was naked; and I hid myself.”
11 And He said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree of which I commanded you that you should not eat?”
12 Then the man said, (M)“The woman whom You gave to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I ate.”
13 And the Lord God said to the woman, “What is this you have done?”
The woman said, (N)“The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”
14 So the Lord God said to the serpent:
“Because you have done this,
You are cursed more than all cattle,
And more than every beast of the field;
On your belly you shall go,
And (O)you shall eat dust
All the days of your life.
15 And I will put enmity
Between you and the woman,
And between (P)your seed and (Q)her Seed;
(R)He shall bruise your head,
And you shall bruise His heel.”
16 To the woman He said:
“I will greatly multiply your sorrow and your conception;
(S)In pain you shall bring forth children;
(T)Your desire shall be [e]for your husband,
And he shall (U)rule over you.”
17 Then to Adam He said, (V)“Because you have heeded the voice of your wife, and have eaten from the tree (W)of which I commanded you, saying, ‘You shall not eat of it’:
(X)“Cursed is the ground for your sake;
(Y)In toil you shall eat of it
All the days of your life.
18 Both thorns and thistles it shall [f]bring forth for you,
And (Z)you shall eat the herb of the field.
19 (AA)In the sweat of your face you shall eat bread
Till you return to the ground,
For out of it you were taken;
(AB)For dust you are,
And (AC)to dust you shall return.”
20 And Adam called his wife’s name (AD)Eve,[g] because she was the mother of all living.
21 Also for Adam and his wife the Lord God made tunics of skin, and clothed them.
22 Then the Lord God said, “Behold, the man has become like one of Us, to know good and evil. And now, lest he put out his hand and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever”— 23 therefore the Lord God sent him out of the garden of Eden (AE)to till the ground from which he was taken. 24 So (AF)He drove out the man; and He placed (AG)cherubim (AH)at the east of the garden of Eden, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to guard the way to the tree of (AI)life.
