Genesis 3:1-24

The Fall

1Now the serpent 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’?”

2The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden, 3but 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.’ ”

4“You will not certainly die,” the serpent said to the woman. 5“For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”

6When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it. 7Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves.

8Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the Lord God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the Lord God among the trees of the garden. 9But the Lord God called to the man, “Where are you?”

10He answered, “I heard you in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid.”

11And he said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?”

12The man said, “The woman you put here with me—she gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate it.”

13Then the Lord God said to the woman, “What is this you have done?”

The woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”

14So the Lord God said to the serpent, “Because you have done this,

“Cursed are you above all livestock

and all wild animals!

You will crawl on your belly

and you will eat dust

all the days of your life.

15And I will put enmity

between you and the woman,

and between your offspring3:15 Or seed and hers;

he will crush3:15 Or strike your head,

and you will strike his heel.”

16To the woman he said,

“I will make your pains in childbearing very severe;

with painful labor you will give birth to children.

Your desire will be for your husband,

and he will rule over you.”

17To 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,’

“Cursed is the ground because of you;

through painful toil you will eat food from it

all the days of your life.

18It will produce thorns and thistles for you,

and you will eat the plants of the field.

19By the sweat of your brow

you will eat your food

until you return to the ground,

since from it you were taken;

for dust you are

and to dust you will return.”

20Adam3:20 Or The man named his wife Eve,3:20 Eve probably means living. because she would become the mother of all the living.

21The Lord God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife and clothed them. 22And the Lord God said, “The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever.” 23So the Lord God banished him from the Garden of Eden to work the ground from which he had been taken. 24After he drove the man out, he placed on the east side3:24 Or placed in front of the Garden of Eden cherubim and a flaming sword flashing back and forth to guard the way to the tree of life.

创世记 3:1-24

始祖犯罪

1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‘你们不可吃园中任何树上的果子’吗?” 2女人回答说:“我们可以吃园中树上的果子, 3只是上帝说过,‘你们不可吃园子中间那棵树的果子,也不可摸,免得死亡。’” 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,眼睛就会打开,像上帝一样懂得分辨善恶。” 6女人见那棵树上的果子可口,悦人眼目,可使人有智慧,就摘下来吃了。她又把果子给跟她在一起的丈夫,他也吃了。 7二人的眼睛就打开了,发觉自己原来赤身露体,便编起无花果树的叶子来遮体。

8天起凉风时,那人和他妻子听见耶和华上帝在园中行走的声音,就藏在园子的树丛中,想躲避耶和华上帝。 9耶和华上帝呼唤那人说:“你在哪里?” 10那人说:“我在园中听见你的声音,就害怕得躲了起来,因为我赤身露体!” 11耶和华上帝问:“谁告诉你,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把那树上的果子给我,我就吃了。” 13耶和华上帝对女人说:“你这是做的什么事?”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,

你的后裔和女人的后裔也要彼此为仇,

女人的后裔必伤你的头,

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3:16 “恋慕”或译“想控制”。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那树上的果子,

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,

一直到你归回土地。

因为那是你的本源。

你本是尘土,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上。 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,就永远活着。” 23因此,耶和华上帝就把亚当赶出伊甸园,让他去开垦土地——那是他的本源。 24祂赶走了亚当以后,在伊甸园东边安排基路伯天使和一把旋转的火剑,守住通往生命树的路。
