< 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 |
The snake was more cunning than all the other wild animals that Yahweh God had made. [One day Satan gave to] the snake [the ability to talk to the woman]. The snake said to her, “Did God really say to you, ‘Do not eat the fruit from any of the trees in the park/garden’?”
فَقَالَتِ ٱلْمَرْأَةُ لِلْحَيَّةِ: «مِنْ ثَمَرِ شَجَرِ ٱلْجَنَّةِ نَأْكُلُ، | ٢ 2 |
The woman replied, “[What God said was], ‘Do not eat the fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the park/garden or touch it. If you do that, you will die. But you can eat fruit from any of the other trees.’”
وَأَمَّا ثَمَرُ ٱلشَّجَرَةِ ٱلَّتِي فِي وَسَطِ ٱلْجَنَّةِ فَقَالَ ٱللهُ: لَا تَأْكُلَا مِنْهُ وَلَا تَمَسَّاهُ لِئَلَّا تَمُوتَا». | ٣ 3 |
فَقَالَتِ ٱلْحَيَّةُ لِلْمَرْأَةِ: «لَنْ تَمُوتَا! | ٤ 4 |
The snake said to the woman, “No, you will certainly not die. God said that
بَلِ ٱللهُ عَالِمٌ أَنَّهُ يَوْمَ تَأْكُلَانِ مِنْهُ تَنْفَتِحُ أَعْيُنُكُمَا وَتَكُونَانِ كَٱللهِ عَارِفَيْنِ ٱلْخَيْرَ وَٱلشَّرَّ». | ٥ 5 |
[only] because he knows that when you eat fruit from that tree, [you will understand new things. It will be as though] your eyes are opened [MET], and you will know what is good [to do] and what is evil [to do], just as God does.”
فَرَأَتِ ٱلْمَرْأَةُ أَنَّ ٱلشَّجَرَةَ جَيِّدَةٌ لِلْأَكْلِ، وَأَنَّهَا بَهِجَةٌ لِلْعُيُونِ، وَأَنَّ ٱلشَّجَرَةَ شَهِيَّةٌ لِلنَّظَرِ. فَأَخَذَتْ مِنْ ثَمَرِهَا وَأَكَلَتْ، وَأَعْطَتْ رَجُلَهَا أَيْضًا مَعَهَا فَأَكَلَ. | ٦ 6 |
The woman saw that the fruit on that tree was good to eat, and it was very beautiful, and she desired it because [she thought] it would make her wise. So she picked some of the fruit and ate it. Then she gave some to her husband, and he ate it.
فَٱنْفَتَحَتْ أَعْيُنُهُمَا وَعَلِمَا أَنَّهُمَا عُرْيَانَانِ. فَخَاطَا أَوْرَاقَ تِينٍ وَصَنَعَا لِأَنْفُسِهِمَا مَآزِرَ. | ٧ 7 |
Immediately [it was as though] their eyes were opened, and they realized that they were naked, so they were ashamed. So they [picked] some fig leaves and fastened them together to make clothes for themselves.
وَسَمِعَا صَوْتَ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلْإِلَهِ مَاشِيًا فِي ٱلْجَنَّةِ عِنْدَ هُبُوبِ رِيحِ ٱلنَّهَارِ، فَٱخْتَبَأَ آدَمُ وَٱمْرَأَتُهُ مِنْ وَجْهِ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلْإِلَهِ فِي وَسَطِ شَجَرِ ٱلْجَنَّةِ. | ٨ 8 |
[Late that afternoon], when a cool breeze was blowing, they heard the sound/footsteps of Yahweh as he was walking in the park/garden. So the man and his wife hid themselves among the bushes in the park/garden, [so that Yahweh God would not see them].
فَنَادَى ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْإِلَهُ آدَمَ وَقَالَ لَهُ: «أَيْنَ أَنْتَ؟». | ٩ 9 |
But Yahweh God called to the man, saying to him, “Why are you [trying to hide from me]?”
فَقَالَ: «سَمِعْتُ صَوْتَكَ فِي ٱلْجَنَّةِ فَخَشِيتُ، لِأَنِّي عُرْيَانٌ فَٱخْتَبَأْتُ». | ١٠ 10 |
The man replied, “I heard the sound of your [footsteps/walking] in the garden, and I was naked, so I was afraid and I hid myself.”
فَقَالَ: «مَنْ أَعْلَمَكَ أَنَّكَ عُرْيَانٌ؟ هَلْ أَكَلْتَ مِنَ ٱلشَّجَرَةِ ٱلَّتِي أَوْصَيْتُكَ أَنْ لَا تَأْكُلَ مِنْهَا؟» | ١١ 11 |
God said, “How did you find out you were naked [RHQ]? It must be because you ate some of the fruit [from the tree] that I told you, ‘Do not eat its fruit.’” [RHQ]
فَقَالَ آدَمُ: «ٱلْمَرْأَةُ ٱلَّتِي جَعَلْتَهَا مَعِي هِيَ أَعْطَتْنِي مِنَ ٱلشَّجَرَةِ فَأَكَلْتُ». | ١٢ 12 |
The man said, “You gave me this woman to be with me. She is the one who gave me some of the fruit from that tree, and so I ate it.”
فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْإِلَهُ لِلْمَرْأَةِ: «مَا هَذَا ٱلَّذِي فَعَلْتِ؟» فَقَالَتِ ٱلْمَرْأَةُ: «ٱلْحَيَّةُ غَرَّتْنِي فَأَكَلْتُ». | ١٣ 13 |
Then Yahweh God said to the woman, “Why did you do such a thing?” The woman replied, “I ate some of the fruit because the snake deceived me.”
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 |
Then Yahweh God said to the snake, “Because you did this, of all the livestock and the wild animals, I will curse/punish you alone. As a result, you [and all other snakes] will scurry across the ground on your bellies, and so what you eat will have dirt [on it] as long as you live.
وَأَضَعُ عَدَاوَةً بَيْنَكِ وَبَيْنَ ٱلْمَرْأَةِ، وَبَيْنَ نَسْلِكِ وَنَسْلِهَا. هُوَ يَسْحَقُ رَأْسَكِ، وَأَنْتِ تَسْحَقِينَ عَقِبَهُ». | ١٥ 15 |
And I will cause you and the woman to act in a hostile way toward each other, and I will cause your brood and her descendants to act hostilely toward each other. You will strike at the heel [of one descendant] of hers, but he will strike your head.”
وَقَالَ لِلْمَرْأَةِ: «تَكْثِيرًا أُكَثِّرُ أَتْعَابَ حَبَلِكِ، بِٱلْوَجَعِ تَلِدِينَ أَوْلَادًا. وَإِلَى رَجُلِكِ يَكُونُ ٱشْتِيَاقُكِ وَهُوَ يَسُودُ عَلَيْكِ». | ١٦ 16 |
Then Yahweh said to the woman, “You will have great pain when you give birth to children; you will suffer great pain as your children are being born [DOU]. You will greatly desire your husband [to show affection for you], but he will rule over you.”
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 |
Then Yahweh said to the man, “You heeded what your wife said, and you ate some of the fruit [of the tree] concerning which I commanded you saying, ‘Do not eat it.’ So I will make it difficult [to grow things in] the ground because of what you did. You will have to work hard as long as you live to produce things from the ground to eat.
وَشَوْكًا وَحَسَكًا تُنْبِتُ لَكَ، وَتَأْكُلُ عُشْبَ ٱلْحَقْلِ. | ١٨ 18 |
Thornbushes and thistle plants and other weeds will grow [and prevent what you have planted from growing]. And for food, you will have to eat things that just grow in your fields.
بِعَرَقِ وَجْهِكَ تَأْكُلُ خُبْزًا حَتَّى تَعُودَ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي أُخِذْتَ مِنْهَا. لِأَنَّكَ تُرَابٌ، وَإِلَى تُرَابٍ تَعُودُ». | ١٩ 19 |
[All your life] you will sweat as you work hard to produce food to eat. Then you will die [EUP], and your [body will be buried] in the ground. [I made] you from soil, so when you [die and are buried your body will decay] and become soil again.”
وَدَعَا آدَمُ ٱسْمَ ٱمْرَأَتِهِ «حَوَّاءَ» لِأَنَّهَا أُمُّ كُلِّ حَيٍّ. | ٢٠ 20 |
[The man, whose name was] Adam, named his wife Eve, [which means ‘living’], because she became the ancestor of all living people.
وَصَنَعَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْإِلَهُ لِآدَمَ وَٱمْرَأَتِهِ أَقْمِصَةً مِنْ جِلْدٍ وَأَلْبَسَهُمَا. | ٢١ 21 |
Then Yahweh God [killed some animals and] made clothes from their skins for Adam and his wife.
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 |
Then Yahweh said, “Look! Those two have become like us because they know what is good [to do] and what is evil [to do]. So now, it will not be good if they reach out and pick and eat [some of the fruit from] the tree [which enables people who eat it] to live [forever]!”
فَأَخْرَجَهُ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْإِلَهُ مِنْ جَنَّةِ عَدْنٍ لِيَعْمَلَ ٱلْأَرْضَ ٱلَّتِي أُخِذَ مِنْهَا. | ٢٣ 23 |
So Yahweh God expelled the man and his wife from the garden of Eden. Yahweh God had created Adam from the ground, but now he forced him to till that ground [so that he could grow food to eat].
فَطَرَدَ ٱلْإِنْسَانَ، وَأَقَامَ شَرْقِيَّ جَنَّةِ عَدْنٍ ٱلْكَرُوبِيمَ، وَلَهِيبَ سَيْفٍ مُتَقَلِّبٍ لِحِرَاسَةِ طَرِيقِ شَجَرَةِ ٱلْحَيَاةِ. | ٢٤ 24 |
After Yahweh expelled them, on the east side of the garden he placed (cherubim/creatures with wings) and [an angel holding] a flaming sword which flashed back and forth. He did that in order to block the entrance to the garden, so that people could not go back to the tree that enables people [who eat its fruit] to live [forever].
