1 O ra, a serpente era o mais astuto de todos os animais do campo, que o Senhor Deus tinha feito. E esta disse ã mulher: É assim que Deus disse: Não comereis de toda árvore do jardim?

Now the serpent was more subtle and crafty than any living creature of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said to the woman, Can it really be that God has said, You shall not eat from every tree of the garden?

2 R espondeu a mulher ã serpente: Do fruto das árvores do jardim podemos comer,

And the woman said to the serpent, We may eat the fruit from the trees of the garden,

3 m as do fruto da árvore que está no meio do jardim, disse Deus: Não comereis dele, nem nele tocareis, para que não morrais.

Except the fruit from the tree which is in the middle of the garden. God has said, You shall not eat of it, neither shall you touch it, lest you die.

4 D isse a serpente ã mulher: Certamente não morrereis.

But the serpent said to the woman, You shall not surely die,

5 P orque Deus sabe que no dia em que comerdes desse fruto, vossos olhos se abrirão, e sereis como Deus, conhecendo o bem e o mal.

For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing the difference between good and evil and blessing and calamity.

6 E ntão, vendo a mulher que aquela árvore era boa para se comer, e agradável aos olhos, e árvore desejável para dar entendimento, tomou do seu fruto, comeu, e deu a seu marido, e ele também comeu.

And when the woman saw that the tree was good (suitable, pleasant) for food and that it was delightful to look at, and a tree to be desired in order to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate; and she gave some also to her husband, and he ate.

7 E ntão foram abertos os olhos de ambos, e conheceram que estavam nus; pelo que coseram folhas de figueira, e fizeram para si aventais.

Then the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves apronlike girdles.

8 E , ouvindo a voz do Senhor Deus, que passeava no jardim ã tardinha, esconderam-se o homem e sua mulher da presença do Senhor Deus, entre as árvores do jardim.

And they heard the sound 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 among the trees of the garden.

9 M as chamou o Senhor Deus ao homem, e perguntou-lhe: Onde estás?

But the Lord God called to Adam and said to him, Where are you?

10 R espondeu-lhe o homem: Ouvi a tua voz no jardim e tive medo, porque estava nu; e escondi-me.

He said, I heard the sound of You in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; and I hid myself.

11 D eus perguntou-lhe mais: Quem te mostrou que estavas nu? Comeste da árvore de que te ordenei que não comesses?

And He said, Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten of the tree of which I commanded you that you should not eat?

12 A o que respondeu o homem: A mulher que me deste por companheira deu-me a árvore, e eu comi.

And the man said, The woman whom You gave to be with me—she gave me from the tree, and I ate.

13 P erguntou o Senhor Deus ã mulher: Que é isto que fizeste? Respondeu a mulher: A serpente enganou-me, e eu comi.

And the Lord God said to the woman, What is this you have done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled (cheated, outwitted, and deceived) me, and I ate.

14 E ntão o Senhor Deus disse ã serpente: Porquanto fizeste isso, maldita serás tu dentre todos os animais domésticos, e dentre todos os animais do campo; sobre o teu ventre andarás, e pó comerás todos os dias da tua vida.

And the Lord God said to the serpent, Because you have done this, you are cursed above all animals and above every living thing of the field; upon your belly you shall go, and you shall eat dust all the days of your life.

15 P orei inimizade entre ti e a mulher, e entre a tua descendência e a sua descendência; esta te ferirá a cabeça, e tu lhe ferirás o calcanhar.

And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her Offspring; He will bruise and tread your head underfoot, and you will lie in wait and bruise His heel.

16 E ã mulher disse: Multiplicarei grandemente a dor da tua conceição; em dor darás ã luz filhos; e o teu desejo será para o teu marido, e ele te dominará.

To the woman He said, I will greatly multiply your grief and your suffering in pregnancy and the pangs of childbearing; with spasms of distress you will bring forth children. Yet your desire and craving will be for your husband, and he will rule over you.

17 E ao homem disse: Porquanto deste ouvidos ã voz de tua mulher, e comeste da árvore de que te ordenei dizendo: Não comerás dela; maldita é a terra por tua causa; em fadiga comerás dela todos os dias da tua vida.

And to Adam He said, Because you have listened and given heed to the voice of your wife and have eaten of the tree of which I commanded you, saying, You shall not eat of it, the ground is under a curse because of you; in sorrow and toil shall you eat of it all the days of your life.

18 E la te produzirá espinhos e abrolhos; e comerás das ervas do campo.

Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth for you, and you shall eat the plants of the field.

19 D o suor do teu rosto comerás o teu pão, até que tornes ã terra, porque dela foste tomado; porquanto és pó, e ao pó tornarás.

In the sweat of your face shall you eat bread until you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken; for dust you are and to dust you shall return.

20 C hamou Adão ã sua mulher Eva, porque era a mãe de todos os viventes.

The man called his wife’s name Eve, because she was the mother of all the living.

21 E o Senhor Deus fez túnicas de peles para Adão e sua mulher, e os vestiu.

For Adam also and for his wife the Lord God made long coats (tunics) of skins and clothed them.

22 E ntão disse o Senhor Deus: Eis que o homem se tem tornado como um de nós, conhecendo o bem e o mal. Ora, não suceda que estenda a sua mão, e tome também da árvore da vida, e coma e viva eternamente.

And the Lord God said, Behold, the man has become like one of Us, to know good and evil and blessing and calamity; and now, lest he put forth his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever—

23 O Senhor Deus, pois, o lançou fora do jardim do Éden para lavrar a terra, de que fora tomado.

Therefore the Lord God sent him forth from the Garden of Eden to till the ground from which he was taken.

24 E havendo lançado fora o homem, pôs ao oriente do jardim do Éden os querubins, e uma espada flamejante que se volvia por todos os lados, para guardar o caminho da árvore da vida.

So drove out the man; and He placed at the east of the Garden of Eden the cherubim and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep and guard the way to the tree of life.
