1 A nd the serpent hath been subtile above every beast of the field which Jehovah God hath made, and he saith unto the woman, `Is it true that God hath said, Ye do not eat of every tree of the garden?'

Now the snake was more able to fool others than any animal of the field which the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God say that you should not eat from any tree in the garden?”

2 A nd the woman saith unto the serpent, `Of the fruit of the trees of the garden we do eat,

Then the woman said to the snake, “We may eat the fruit of the trees of the garden.

3 a nd of the fruit of the tree which in the midst of the garden God hath said, Ye do not eat of it, nor touch it, lest ye die.'

But from the tree which is in the center of the garden, God has said, ‘Do not eat from it or touch it, or you will die.’”

4 A nd the serpent saith unto the woman, `Dying, ye do not die,

The snake said to the woman, “No, you for sure will not die!

5 f or God doth know that in the day of your eating of it -- your eyes have been opened, and ye have been as God, knowing good and evil.'

For God knows that when you eat from it, your eyes will be opened and you will be like God, knowing good and bad.”

6 A nd the woman seeth that the tree good for food, and that it pleasant to the eyes, and the tree is desirable to make wise, and she taketh of its fruit and eateth, and giveth also to her husband with her, and he doth eat;

The woman saw that the tree was good for food, and pleasing to the eyes, and could fill the desire of making one wise. So she took of its fruit and ate. She also gave some to her husband, and he ate.

7 a nd the eyes of them both are opened, and they know that they naked, and they sew fig-leaves, and make to themselves girdles.

Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew they were without clothes. So they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves clothing.

8 A nd they hear the sound of Jehovah God walking up and down in the garden at the breeze of the day, and the man and his wife hide themselves from the face of Jehovah God in the midst of the trees of the garden.

Then they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the evening. The man and his wife hid themselves from the Lord God among the trees of the garden.

9 A nd Jehovah God calleth unto the man, and saith to him, `Where thou?'

But the Lord God called to the man. He said to him, “Where are you?”

10 a nd he saith, `Thy sound I have heard in the garden, and I am afraid, for I am naked, and I hide myself.'

And the man said, “I heard the sound of You in the garden. I was afraid because I was without clothes. So I hid myself.”

11 A nd He saith, `Who hath declared to thee that thou naked? of the tree of which I have commanded thee not to eat, hast thou eaten?'

The Lord God said, “Who told you that you were without clothes? Have you eaten from the tree of which I told you not to eat?”

12 a nd the man saith, `The woman whom Thou didst place with me -- she hath given to me of the tree -- and I do eat.'

The man said, “The woman whom You gave to be with me, she gave me fruit of the tree, and I ate.”

13 A nd Jehovah God saith to the woman, `What this thou hast done?' and the woman saith, `The serpent hath caused me to forget -- and I do eat.'

Then the Lord God said to the woman, “What is this you have done?” And the woman said, “The snake fooled me, and I ate.”

14 A nd Jehovah God saith unto the serpent, `Because thou hast done this, cursed thou above all the cattle, and above every beast of the field: on thy belly dost thou go, and dust thou dost eat, all days of thy life;

Then the Lord God said to the snake, “Because you have done this, you will be hated and will suffer more than all cattle, and more than every animal of the field. You will go on your stomach and you will eat dust all the days of your life.

15 a nd enmity I put between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; he doth bruise thee -- the head, and thou dost bruise him -- the heel.'

And I will make you and the woman hate each other, and your seed and her seed will hate each other. He will crush your head, and you will crush his heel.”

16 U nto the woman He said, `Multiplying I multiply thy sorrow and thy conception, in sorrow dost thou bear children, and toward thy husband thy desire, and he doth rule over thee.'

To the woman He said, “I will make your pain much worse in giving birth. You will give birth to children in pain. Yet your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you.”

17 A nd to the man He said, `Because thou hast hearkened to the voice of thy wife, and dost eat of the tree concerning which I have charged thee, saying, Thou dost not eat of it, cursed the ground on thine account; in sorrow thou dost eat of it all days of thy life,

Then He said to Adam, “Because you have listened to the voice of your wife, and have eaten from the tree of which I told you, “Do not eat from it,” the ground is cursed because of you. By hard work you will eat food from it all the days of your life.

18 a nd thorn and bramble it doth bring forth to thee, and thou hast eaten the herb of the field;

It will grow thorns and thistles for you. You will eat the plants of the field.

19 b y the sweat of thy face thou dost eat bread till thy return unto the ground, for out of it hast thou been taken, for dust thou, and unto dust thou turnest back.'

You will eat bread by the sweat of your face because of hard work, until you return to the ground, because you were taken from the ground. You are dust, and you will return to dust.”

20 A nd the man calleth his wife's name Eve: for she hath been mother of all living.

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

21 A nd Jehovah God doth make to the man and to his wife coats of skin, and doth clothe them.

And the Lord God made clothes of skins for Adam and his wife, and dressed them.

22 A nd Jehovah God saith, `Lo, the man was as one of Us, as to the knowledge of good and evil; and now, lest he send forth his hand, and have taken also of the tree of life, and eaten, and lived to the age,' --

Then the Lord God said, “See, the man has become like one of Us, knowing good and bad. Now then, he might put out his hand to take from the tree of life also, and eat and live forever.”

23 J ehovah God sendeth him forth from the garden of Eden to serve the ground from which he hath been taken;

So the Lord God sent him out from the garden of Eden, to work the ground from which he was taken.

24 y ea, he casteth out the man, and causeth to dwell at the east of the garden of Eden the cherubs and the flame of the sword which is turning itself round to guard the way of the tree of life.

So He drove the man out. And He placed cherubim east of the garden of Eden with a sword of fire that turned every way. They kept watch over the path to the tree of life.
