< اَلتَّكْوِينُ 3 >

وَكَانَتِ ٱلْحَيَّةُ أَحْيَلَ جَمِيعِ حَيَوَانَاتِ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ ٱلَّتِي عَمِلَهَا ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْإِلَهُ، فَقَالَتْ لِلْمَرْأَةِ: «أَحَقًّا قَالَ ٱللهُ لَا تَأْكُلَا مِنْ كُلِّ شَجَرِ ٱلْجَنَّةِ؟» ١ 1
Now the snake was wiser than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said to the woman, Has God truly said that you may not take of the fruit of any tree in the garden?
فَقَالَتِ ٱلْمَرْأَةُ لِلْحَيَّةِ: «مِنْ ثَمَرِ شَجَرِ ٱلْجَنَّةِ نَأْكُلُ، ٢ 2
And the woman said, We may take of the fruit of the trees in the garden:
وَأَمَّا ثَمَرُ ٱلشَّجَرَةِ ٱلَّتِي فِي وَسَطِ ٱلْجَنَّةِ فَقَالَ ٱللهُ: لَا تَأْكُلَا مِنْهُ وَلَا تَمَسَّاهُ لِئَلَّا تَمُوتَا». ٣ 3
But of the fruit of the tree in the middle of the garden, God has said, If you take of it or put your hands on it, death will come to you.
فَقَالَتِ ٱلْحَيَّةُ لِلْمَرْأَةِ: «لَنْ تَمُوتَا! ٤ 4
And the snake said, Death will not certainly come to you:
بَلِ ٱللهُ عَالِمٌ أَنَّهُ يَوْمَ تَأْكُلَانِ مِنْهُ تَنْفَتِحُ أَعْيُنُكُمَا وَتَكُونَانِ كَٱللهِ عَارِفَيْنِ ٱلْخَيْرَ وَٱلشَّرَّ». ٥ 5
For God sees that on the day when you take of its fruit, your eyes will be open, and you will be as gods, having knowledge of good and evil.
فَرَأَتِ ٱلْمَرْأَةُ أَنَّ ٱلشَّجَرَةَ جَيِّدَةٌ لِلْأَكْلِ، وَأَنَّهَا بَهِجَةٌ لِلْعُيُونِ، وَأَنَّ ٱلشَّجَرَةَ شَهِيَّةٌ لِلنَّظَرِ. فَأَخَذَتْ مِنْ ثَمَرِهَا وَأَكَلَتْ، وَأَعْطَتْ رَجُلَهَا أَيْضًا مَعَهَا فَأَكَلَ. ٦ 6
And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and a delight to the eyes, and to be desired to make one wise, she took of its fruit, and gave it to her husband.
فَٱنْفَتَحَتْ أَعْيُنُهُمَا وَعَلِمَا أَنَّهُمَا عُرْيَانَانِ. فَخَاطَا أَوْرَاقَ تِينٍ وَصَنَعَا لِأَنْفُسِهِمَا مَآزِرَ. ٧ 7
And their eyes were open and they were conscious that they had no clothing and they made themselves coats of leaves stitched together.
وَسَمِعَا صَوْتَ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلْإِلَهِ مَاشِيًا فِي ٱلْجَنَّةِ عِنْدَ هُبُوبِ رِيحِ ٱلنَّهَارِ، فَٱخْتَبَأَ آدَمُ وَٱمْرَأَتُهُ مِنْ وَجْهِ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلْإِلَهِ فِي وَسَطِ شَجَرِ ٱلْجَنَّةِ. ٨ 8
And there came to them the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the evening wind: and the man and his wife went to a secret place among the trees of the garden, away from the eyes of the Lord God.
فَنَادَى ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْإِلَهُ آدَمَ وَقَالَ لَهُ: «أَيْنَ أَنْتَ؟». ٩ 9
And the voice of the Lord God came to the man, saying, Where are you?
فَقَالَ: «سَمِعْتُ صَوْتَكَ فِي ٱلْجَنَّةِ فَخَشِيتُ، لِأَنِّي عُرْيَانٌ فَٱخْتَبَأْتُ». ١٠ 10
And he said, Hearing your voice in the garden I was full of fear, because I was without clothing: and I kept myself from your eyes.
فَقَالَ: «مَنْ أَعْلَمَكَ أَنَّكَ عُرْيَانٌ؟ هَلْ أَكَلْتَ مِنَ ٱلشَّجَرَةِ ٱلَّتِي أَوْصَيْتُكَ أَنْ لَا تَأْكُلَ مِنْهَا؟» ١١ 11
And he said, Who gave you the knowledge that you were without clothing? Have you taken of the fruit of the tree which I said you were not to take?
فَقَالَ آدَمُ: «ٱلْمَرْأَةُ ٱلَّتِي جَعَلْتَهَا مَعِي هِيَ أَعْطَتْنِي مِنَ ٱلشَّجَرَةِ فَأَكَلْتُ». ١٢ 12
And the man said, The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me the fruit of the tree and I took it.
فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْإِلَهُ لِلْمَرْأَةِ: «مَا هَذَا ٱلَّذِي فَعَلْتِ؟» فَقَالَتِ ٱلْمَرْأَةُ: «ٱلْحَيَّةُ غَرَّتْنِي فَأَكَلْتُ». ١٣ 13
And the Lord God said to the woman, What have you done? And the woman said, I was tricked by the deceit of the snake and I took it.
فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْإِلَهُ لِلْحَيَّةِ: «لِأَنَّكِ فَعَلْتِ هَذَا، مَلْعُونَةٌ أَنْتِ مِنْ جَمِيعِ ٱلْبَهَائِمِ وَمِنْ جَمِيعِ وُحُوشِ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ. عَلَى بَطْنِكِ تَسْعَيْنَ وَتُرَابًا تَأْكُلِينَ كُلَّ أَيَّامِ حَيَاتِكِ. ١٤ 14
And the Lord God said to the snake, Because you have done this you are cursed more than all cattle and every beast of the field; you will go flat on the earth, and dust will be your food all the days of your life:
وَأَضَعُ عَدَاوَةً بَيْنَكِ وَبَيْنَ ٱلْمَرْأَةِ، وَبَيْنَ نَسْلِكِ وَنَسْلِهَا. هُوَ يَسْحَقُ رَأْسَكِ، وَأَنْتِ تَسْحَقِينَ عَقِبَهُ». ١٥ 15
And there will be war between you and the woman and between your seed and her seed: by him will your head be crushed and by you his foot will be wounded.
وَقَالَ لِلْمَرْأَةِ: «تَكْثِيرًا أُكَثِّرُ أَتْعَابَ حَبَلِكِ، بِٱلْوَجَعِ تَلِدِينَ أَوْلَادًا. وَإِلَى رَجُلِكِ يَكُونُ ٱشْتِيَاقُكِ وَهُوَ يَسُودُ عَلَيْكِ». ١٦ 16
To the woman he said, Great will be your pain in childbirth; in sorrow will your children come to birth; still your desire will be for your husband, but he will be your master.
وَقَالَ لِآدَمَ: «لِأَنَّكَ سَمِعْتَ لِقَوْلِ ٱمْرَأَتِكَ وَأَكَلْتَ مِنَ ٱلشَّجَرَةِ ٱلَّتِي أَوْصَيْتُكَ قَائِلًا: لَا تَأْكُلْ مِنْهَا، مَلْعُونَةٌ ٱلْأَرْضُ بِسَبَبِكَ. بِٱلتَّعَبِ تَأْكُلُ مِنْهَا كُلَّ أَيَّامِ حَيَاتِكَ. ١٧ 17
And to Adam he said, Because you gave ear to the voice of your wife and took of the fruit of the tree which I said you were not to take, the earth is cursed on your account; in pain you will get your food from it all your life.
وَشَوْكًا وَحَسَكًا تُنْبِتُ لَكَ، وَتَأْكُلُ عُشْبَ ٱلْحَقْلِ. ١٨ 18
Thorns and waste plants will come up, and the plants of the field will be your food;
بِعَرَقِ وَجْهِكَ تَأْكُلُ خُبْزًا حَتَّى تَعُودَ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي أُخِذْتَ مِنْهَا. لِأَنَّكَ تُرَابٌ، وَإِلَى تُرَابٍ تَعُودُ». ١٩ 19
With the hard work of your hands you will get your bread till you go back to the earth from which you were taken: for dust you are and to the dust you will go back.
وَدَعَا آدَمُ ٱسْمَ ٱمْرَأَتِهِ «حَوَّاءَ» لِأَنَّهَا أُمُّ كُلِّ حَيٍّ. ٢٠ 20
And the man gave his wife the name of Eve because she was the mother of all who have life.
وَصَنَعَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْإِلَهُ لِآدَمَ وَٱمْرَأَتِهِ أَقْمِصَةً مِنْ جِلْدٍ وَأَلْبَسَهُمَا. ٢١ 21
And the Lord God made for Adam and for his wife coats of skins for their clothing.
وَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْإِلَهُ: «هُوَذَا ٱلْإِنْسَانُ قَدْ صَارَ كَوَاحِدٍ مِنَّا عَارِفًا ٱلْخَيْرَ وَٱلشَّرَّ. وَٱلْآنَ لَعَلَّهُ يَمُدُّ يَدَهُ وَيَأْخُذُ مِنْ شَجَرَةِ ٱلْحَيَاةِ أَيْضًا وَيَأْكُلُ وَيَحْيَا إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ». ٢٢ 22
And the Lord God said, Now the man has become like one of us, having knowledge of good and evil; and now if he puts out his hand and takes of the fruit of the tree of life, he will go on living for ever.
فَأَخْرَجَهُ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْإِلَهُ مِنْ جَنَّةِ عَدْنٍ لِيَعْمَلَ ٱلْأَرْضَ ٱلَّتِي أُخِذَ مِنْهَا. ٢٣ 23
So the Lord God sent him out of the garden of Eden to be a worker on the earth from which he was taken.
فَطَرَدَ ٱلْإِنْسَانَ، وَأَقَامَ شَرْقِيَّ جَنَّةِ عَدْنٍ ٱلْكَرُوبِيمَ، وَلَهِيبَ سَيْفٍ مُتَقَلِّبٍ لِحِرَاسَةِ طَرِيقِ شَجَرَةِ ٱلْحَيَاةِ. ٢٤ 24
So he sent the man out; and at the east of the garden of Eden he put winged ones and a flaming sword turning every way to keep the way to the tree of life.
