< Genesis 3 >

1 And the two were naked, both Adam and his wife, and were not ashamed. Now the serpent was the most crafty of all the brutes on the earth, which the Lord God made, and the serpent said to the woman, Therefore has God said, Eat not of every tree of the garden?
Ora a serpente era mais astuta que todas as alimárias do campo que o Senhor Deus tinha feito. E esta disse à mulher: É assim que Deus disse: Não comereis de toda a árvore do jardim?
2 And the woman said to the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden,
E disse a mulher à serpente: Do fruto das árvores do jardim comeremos,
3 but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God said, You shall not eat of it, neither shall you touch it, lest you die.
Mas do fruto da árvore que está no meio do jardim, disse Deus: Não comereis dele, nem nele tocareis para que não morrais.
4 And the serpent said to the woman, You shall not surely die.
Então a serpente disse à mulher: Certamente não morrereis.
5 For God knew that in whatever day you should eat of it your eyes would be opened, and you would be as gods, knowing good and evil.
Porque Deus sabe que no dia em que dele comerdes se abrirão os vossos olhos, e sereis como Deus, sabendo o bem e o mal.
6 And the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes to look upon and beautiful to contemplate, and having taken of its fruit she ate, and she gave to her husband also with her, and they ate.
E viu a mulher que aquela árvore era boa para se comer, e agradável aos olhos, e árvore desejável para dar entendimento; tomou do seu fruto, e comeu, e deu também a seu marido consigo, e ele comeu.
7 And the eyes of both were opened, and they perceived that they were naked, and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons to go round them.
Então foram abertos os olhos de ambos, e conheceram que estavam nus; e coseram folhas de figueira, e fizeram para si aventais.
8 And they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the afternoon; and both Adam and his wife hid themselves from the face of the Lord God in the midst of the trees of the garden.
E ouviram a voz do Senhor Deus, que passeava no jardim pela viração do dia: e escondeu-se Adão e sua mulher da presença do Senhor Deus, entre as árvores do jardim.
9 And the Lord God called Adam and said to him, Adam, where are you?
E chamou o Senhor Deus a Adão, e disse-lhe: Onde estás?
10 And he said to him, I heard your voice as you walked in the garden, and I feared because I was naked and I hid myself.
E ele disse: Ouvi a tua voz soar no jardim, e temi, porque estava nú, e escondi-me.
11 And God said to him, Who told you that you were naked, unless you have eaten of the tree concerning which I charged you of it alone not to eat?
E Deus disse: Quem te mostrou que estavas nu? Comeste tu da árvore de que te ordenei que não comesses?
12 And Adam said, The woman whom you gave to be with me—she gave me of the tree and I ate.
Então disse Adão; A mulher que me deste por companheira, ela me deu da árvore, e comi.
13 And the Lord God said to the woman, Why have you done this? And the woman said, The serpent deceived me and I ate.
E disse o Senhor Deus à mulher: Porque fizeste isto? E disse a mulher A serpente me enganou, e eu comi.
14 And the Lord God said to the serpent, Because you have done this you are cursed above all cattle and all the brutes of the earth, on your breast and belly you shall go, and you shall eat earth all the days of your life.
Então o Senhor Deus disse à serpente: Porquanto fizeste isto, maldita serás mais que toda a besta, e mais que todos os animais do campo: sobre o teu ventre andarás, e pó comerás todos os dias da tua vida.
15 And I will put enmity between you and the woman and between your seed and her seed, he shall watch against your head, and you shall watch against his heel.
E porei inimizade entre ti e a mulher, e entre a tua semente e a sua semente: esta te ferirá a cabeça, e tu lhe ferirás o calcanhar.
16 And to the woman he said, I will greatly multiply your pains and your groanings; in pain you shall bring forth children, and your submission shall be to your husband, and he shall rule over you.
E à mulher disse: Multiplicarei grandemente a tua dor, e a tua conceição; com dor parirás filhos; e o teu desejo será para o teu marido, e ele te dominará.
17 And to Adam he said, Because you have listened to the voice of your wife, and eaten of the tree concerning which I charged you of it only not to eat—of that you have eaten, cursed [is] the ground in your labours, in pain shall you eat of it all the days of your life.
E a Adão disse: Porquanto deste ouvidos à voz de tua mulher, e comeste da árvore de que te ordenei, dizendo: Não comerás dela: maldita é a terra por causa de ti; com dor comerás dela todos os dias da tua vida.
18 Thorns and thistles shall it bring forth to you, and you shall eat the herb of the field.
Espinhos, e cardos também, te produzirá; e comerás a erva do campo.
19 In the sweat of your face shall you eat your bread until you return to the earth out of which you were taken, for earth you are and to earth you shall return.
No suor do teu rosto comerás o teu pão, até que te tornes à terra; porque dela foste tomado: porquanto és pó, e em pó te tornarás.
20 And Adam called the name of his wife Life, because she was the mother of all living.
E chamou Adão o nome de sua mulher, Eva; porquanto ela era a mãe de todos os viventes.
21 And the Lord God made for Adam and his wife garments of skin, and clothed them.
E fez o Senhor Deus a Adão e a sua mulher túnicas de peles, e os vestiu.
22 And God said, Behold, Adam is become as one of us, to know good and evil, and now lest at any time he stretch forth his hand, and take of the tree of life and eat, and [so] he shall live forever—
Então disse o Senhor Deus: Eis que o homem é como um de Nós, sabendo o bem e o mal; ora, pois, para que não estenda a sua mão, e tome também da árvore da vida, e coma e viva eternamente:
23 So the Lord God sent him forth out of the garden of Delight to cultivate the ground out of which he was taken.
O Senhor Deus, pois, o enviou fora do jardim do Éden, para lavrar a terra de que fôra tomado.
24 And he cast out Adam and caused him to dwell over against the garden of Delight, and stationed the cherubs and the fiery sword that turns about to keep the way of the tree of life.
E havendo lançado fora o homem, pôs cherubins ao oriente do jardim do Éden, e uma espada inflamada que andava ao redor, para guardar o caminho da árvore da vida.
