1Il serpente era il più astuto di tutti gli animali dei campi che Dio il Signore aveva fatti. Esso disse alla donna: «Come! Dio vi ha detto di non mangiare da nessun albero del giardino?»2La donna rispose al serpente: «Del frutto degli alberi del giardino ne possiamo mangiare;3ma del frutto dell’albero che è in mezzo al giardino Dio ha detto: “Non ne mangiate e non lo toccate, altrimenti morirete”».4Il serpente disse alla donna: «No, non morirete affatto;5ma Dio sa che nel giorno che ne mangerete, i vostri occhi si apriranno e sarete come Dio, avendo la conoscenza del bene e del male».6La donna osservò che l’albero era buono per nutrirsi, che era bello da vedere e che l’albero era desiderabile per acquistare conoscenza; prese del frutto, ne mangiò e ne diede anche a suo marito, che era con lei, ed egli ne mangiò.7Allora si aprirono gli occhi ad entrambi e si accorsero che erano nudi; unirono delle foglie di fico e se ne fecero delle cinture.8Poi udirono la voce di Dio il Signore, il quale camminava nel giardino sul far della sera; e l’uomo e sua moglie si nascosero dalla presenza di Dio il Signore fra gli alberi del giardino.9Dio il Signore chiamò l’uomo e gli disse: «Dove sei?»10Egli rispose: «Ho udito la tua voce nel giardino e ho avuto paura, perché ero nudo, e mi sono nascosto».11Dio disse: «Chi ti ha mostrato che eri nudo? Hai forse mangiato del frutto dell’albero che ti avevo comandato di non mangiare?»12L’uomo rispose: «La donna che tu mi hai messa accanto, è lei che mi ha dato del frutto dell’albero, e io ne ho mangiato».13Dio il Signore disse alla donna: «Perché hai fatto questo?» La donna rispose: «Il serpente mi ha ingannata e io ne ho mangiato».14Allora Dio il Signore disse al serpente: «Poiché hai fatto questo, sarai il maledetto fra tutto il bestiame e fra tutte le bestie selvatiche! Tu camminerai sul tuo ventre e mangerai polvere tutti i giorni della tua vita.15Io porrò inimicizia fra te e la donna, e fra la tua progenie e la progenie di lei; questa progenie ti schiaccerà il capo e tu le ferirai il calcagno».16Alla donna disse: «Io moltiplicherò grandemente le tue pene e i dolori della tua gravidanza; con dolore partorirai figli; i tuoi desideri si volgeranno verso tuo marito ed egli dominerà su di te».17Ad Adamo disse: «Poiché hai dato ascolto alla voce di tua moglie e hai mangiato del frutto dall’albero circa il quale io ti avevo ordinato di non mangiarne, il suolo sarà maledetto per causa tua; ne mangerai il frutto con affanno tutti i giorni della tua vita.18Esso ti produrrà spine e rovi, e tu mangerai l’erba dei campi;19mangerai il pane con il sudore del tuo volto, finché tu ritorni nella terra da cui fosti tratto; perché sei polvere e in polvere ritornerai».20L’uomo chiamò sua moglie Eva[1], perché è stata la madre di tutti i viventi.21Dio il Signore fece ad Adamo e a sua moglie delle tuniche di pelle, e li vestì.22Poi Dio il Signore disse: «Ecco, l’uomo è diventato come uno di noi, quanto alla conoscenza del bene e del male. Guardiamo che egli non stenda la mano e prenda anche del frutto dell’albero della vita, ne mangi e viva per sempre».23Perciò Dio il Signore mandò via l’uomo dal giardino di Eden, perché lavorasse la terra da cui era stato tratto.24Così egli scacciò l’uomo e pose a oriente del giardino di Eden i cherubini, che vibravano da ogni parte una spada fiammeggiante, per custodire la via dell’albero della vita.
1Und die Schlange war listiger als alle Tiere des Feldes, die der HERR, Gott, gemacht hatte; und sie sprach zu der Frau: Hat Gott wirklich gesagt: Von allen Bäumen[1] des Gartens dürft ihr nicht essen? (Mat 4,3; Ap 12,9; Ap 20,2)2Da sagte die Frau zur Schlange: Von den Früchten der Bäume des Gartens essen wir;3aber von den Früchten des Baumes, der in der Mitte des Gartens ⟨steht⟩, hat Gott gesagt: Ihr sollt nicht davon essen und sollt sie nicht berühren, damit ihr nicht sterbt! (Gen 2,17)4Da sagte die Schlange zur Frau: Keineswegs werdet ihr sterben!5Sondern Gott weiß, dass an dem Tag, da ihr davon esst, eure Augen aufgetan werden und ihr sein werdet wie Gott, erkennend Gutes und Böses. (Gen 2,9; Is 14,14; Giov 8,44)6Und die Frau sah, dass der Baum gut zur Nahrung und dass er eine Lust für die Augen und dass der Baum begehrenswert war, Einsicht zu geben; und sie nahm von seiner Frucht und aß, und sie gab auch ihrem Mann bei ihr, und er aß. (Gios 7,21; 1Re 13,19; Ro 5,12; 2Co 11,3; 1Ti 2,14; Giac 1,14; Giac 1,15; 1G 2,16)7Da wurden ihrer beider Augen aufgetan, und sie erkannten, dass sie nackt waren; und sie hefteten Feigenblätter zusammen und machten sich Schurze. (Gen 2,25)8Und sie hörten die Stimme[2] des HERRN, Gottes, der im Garten wandelte bei der Kühle des Tages[3]. Da versteckten sich der Mensch und seine Frau vor dem Angesicht des HERRN, Gottes, mitten zwischen den Bäumen des Gartens. (Giob 31,33)9Und der HERR, Gott, rief den Menschen und sprach zu ihm: Wo bist du? (Gen 4,9; 2Re 5,25)10Da sagte er: Ich hörte deine Stimme[4] im Garten, und ich fürchtete mich, weil ich nackt bin, und ich versteckte mich. (Ap 16,15)11Und er sprach: Wer hat dir erzählt, dass du nackt bist? Hast du etwa von dem Baum gegessen, von dem ich dir geboten habe, du solltest nicht davon essen?12Da sagte der Mensch: Die Frau, die du mir zur Seite gegeben hast, sie gab mir von dem Baum, und ich aß. (1Sam 15,15)13Und der HERR, Gott, sprach zur Frau: Was hast du da getan! Und die Frau sagte: Die Schlange hat mich getäuscht[5], da aß ich. (Gen 12,18; 1Re 13,18; Gion 1,10; Giov 8,44; Ro 7,11)14Und der HERR, Gott, sprach zur Schlange: Weil du das getan hast, sollst du verflucht sein unter allem Vieh und unter[6] allen Tieren des Feldes! Auf deinem Bauch sollst du kriechen, und Staub sollst du fressen alle Tage deines Lebens! (Sal 72,9; Is 65,25; Mi 7,17)15Und ich werde Feindschaft setzen zwischen dir und der Frau, zwischen deinem Nachwuchs[7] und ihrem Nachwuchs[8]; er wird dir den Kopf zermalmen, und du, du wirst ihm die Ferse zermalmen. (Giov 5,46; Eb 2,14; Ap 12,17)16Zu der Frau sprach er: Ich werde sehr vermehren die Mühsal deiner Schwangerschaft[9], mit Schmerzen sollst du Kinder gebären! Nach deinem Mann wird dein Verlangen sein, er aber wird über dich herrschen! (Gen 35,16; 1Cr 4,9; Is 26,17; 1Co 11,3; 1Co 14,34; 1Ti 2,15)17Und zu Adam[10] sprach er: Weil du auf die Stimme deiner Frau gehört und gegessen hast von dem Baum, von dem ich dir geboten habe: Du sollst davon nicht essen! – so sei der Erdboden deinetwegen verflucht: Mit Mühsal sollst du davon essen alle Tage deines Lebens; (Gen 5,29; Giob 5,7)18und Dornen und Disteln wird er dir sprossen lassen, und du wirst das Kraut des Feldes essen! (Giob 31,40; Is 7,23; Ro 8,20; 2Te 3,10; Eb 6,8)19Im Schweiße deines Angesichts wirst du ⟨dein⟩ Brot essen, bis du zurückkehrst zum Erdboden[11], denn von ihm bist du genommen. Denn Staub bist du, und zum Staub wirst du zurückkehren! (Gen 2,7; Gen 5,5; Giob 10,9; Sal 90,3; Ec 3,20; Eb 9,27)20Und der Mensch gab seiner Frau den Namen Eva, denn sie wurde die Mutter aller Lebenden. (At 17,26)21Und der HERR, Gott, machte Adam und seiner Frau Leibröcke aus Fell und bekleidete sie.22Und der HERR, Gott, sprach: Siehe, der Mensch ist geworden wie einer von uns, zu erkennen Gutes und Böses. Und nun, dass er nicht etwa seine Hand ausstreckt und auch ⟨noch⟩ von dem Baum des Lebens nimmt und isst und ewig lebt! (Gen 2,9)23Und der HERR, Gott, schickte ihn aus dem Garten Eden hinaus, den Erdboden zu bebauen, von dem er genommen war. (Gen 2,7; Gen 2,8; Gen 4,2)24Und er trieb den Menschen aus und ließ östlich vom Garten Eden die Cherubim sich lagern und die Flamme des zuckenden Schwertes, den Weg zum Baum des Lebens zu bewachen.
1Now the serpent was more crafty than any other beast of the field that the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God actually say, ‘You[1] shall not eat of any tree in the garden’?” (Mat 10,16; 2Co 11,3; Ap 12,9; Ap 20,2)2And the woman said to the serpent, “We may eat of the fruit of the trees in the garden,3but God said, ‘You shall not eat of the fruit of the tree that is in the midst of the garden, neither shall you touch it, lest you die.’” (Gen 2,17)4But the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die. (Gen 3,13; Giov 8,44; 2Co 11,3)5For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”6So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise,[2] she took of its fruit and ate, and she also gave some to her husband who was with her, and he ate. (Gen 3,12; Gen 3,17; Os 6,7; 1Ti 2,14)7Then the eyes of both were opened, and they knew that they were naked. And they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves loincloths. (Gen 2,25; Gen 3,5)8And they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool[3] of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden. (Sal 139,1; Ger 23,23)9But the Lord God called to the man and said to him, “Where are you?”[4]10And he said, “I heard the sound of you in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked, and I hid myself.” (Gen 2,25; Gen 3,7)11He said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten of the tree of which I commanded you not to eat?”12The man said, “The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me fruit of the tree, and I ate.” (Gen 2,18; Giob 31,33)13Then the Lord God said to the woman, “What is this that you have done?” The woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.” (Gen 3,4; 2Co 11,3; 1Ti 2,14)14The Lord God said to the serpent, “Because you have done this, cursed are you above all livestock and above all beasts of the field; on your belly you shall go, and dust you shall eat all the days of your life. (Is 65,25; Mi 7,17)15I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring[5] and her offspring; he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel.” (Is 7,14; Mi 5,3; Mat 1,23; Mat 1,25; Lu 1,34; Ro 16,20; Ga 4,4; 1Ti 2,15; Eb 2,14; Ap 20,1; Ap 20,10)16To the woman he said, “I will surely multiply your pain in childbearing; in pain you shall bring forth children. Your desire shall be contrary to[6] your husband, but he shall rule over you.” (Gen 4,7; Cc 7,10; Giov 16,21; 1Co 11,3; 1Co 14,34; Ef 5,22; Col 3,18; 1Ti 2,11; Tit 2,5; 1P 3,1; 1P 3,5)17And to Adam he said, “Because you have listened to the voice of your wife and have eaten of the tree of which I commanded you, ‘You shall not eat of it,’ cursed is the ground because of you; in pain you shall eat of it all the days of your life; (Gen 2,17; Gen 5,29; Ec 2,22; Ro 8,20)18thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for you; and you shall eat the plants of the field.19By the sweat of your face you shall eat bread, till you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken; for you are dust, and to dust you shall return.” (Gen 2,7; Giob 34,15; Sal 103,14; Sal 104,29; Ec 3,20; Ec 12,7; Ro 5,12)20The man called his wife’s name Eve, because she was the mother of all living.[7]21And the Lord God made for Adam and for his wife garments of skins and clothed them.22Then the Lord God said, “Behold, the man has become like one of us in knowing good and evil. Now, lest he reach out his hand and take also of the tree of life and eat, and live forever—” (Gen 2,9; Gen 3,5)23therefore the Lord God sent him out from the garden of Eden to work the ground from which he was taken. (Gen 2,5)24He drove out the man, and at the east of the garden of Eden he placed the cherubim and a flaming sword that turned every way to guard the way to the tree of life. (Eso 25,18; Sal 18,10; Sal 104,4; Ez 28,11; Eb 1,7)
Genesi 3
King James Version
1Now 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?2And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:3But 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.4And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:5For 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.6And 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.7And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.8And 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.9And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?10And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.11And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?12And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.13And 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.14And 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:15And 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.16Unto 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.17And 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;18Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field;19In 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.20And Adam called his wife' name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.21Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them.22And 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:23Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.24So 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.
