Genesis 3
1 Now the serpent was more shrewd than any of the wild animals which God had made. And he said to the woman, "Has God really said, 'You shall not eat of any tree of the garden?'"
Men Slangen var træskere end alle Markens andre Dyr, som Gud HERREN havde gjort og den sagde til Kvinden: "Mon Gud virkelig ham sagt: I må ikke spise af noget Træ i Haven?"
2 And the woman said to the serpent, "Of the fruit of the trees of the garden we may eat,
Kvinden svarede: "Vi har Lov at spise af Frugten på Havens Træer;
3 but of the fruit of the tree which is in the middle of the garden, God has said, 'You shall not eat of it, neither shall you touch it, lest you die.'"
kun af Frugten fra Træet midt i Haven, sagde Gud, må I ikke spise, ja, I må ikke røre derved, thi så skal I dø!"
4 The serpent said to the woman, "You won't surely die,
Da sagde Slangen til Kvinden: "I skal ingenlunde dø;
5 for God knows that in the day you eat it, your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil."
men Gud ved, at når I spiser deraf, åbnes eders Øjne, så I blive som Gud til at kende godt og ondt!"
6 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, she took of its fruit, and ate, and she also gave some to her husband who was with her, and he ate.
Kvinden blev nu var, at Træet var godt at spise af, en Lyst for Øjnene og godt at få Forstand af; og hun tog af dets Frugt og spiste og gav også sin Mand, der stod hos hende, og han spiste.
7 The eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked. So they sewed fig leaves together, and made coverings for themselves.
Da åbnedes begges Øjne, og de kendte, at de var nøgne. Derfor syede de Figenblade sammen og bandt dem om sig.
8 They heard the voice of God walking in the garden during the breeze of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of God among the trees of the garden.
Da Dagen blev sval, hørte de Gud HERREN vandre i Haven, og Adam og hans Hustru skjulte sig for ham inde mellem Havens Træer.
9 So God called to the man, and said to him, "Where are you?"
Da kaldte Gud HERREN på Adam og råbte: "Hvor er du?"
10 And he said, "I heard your voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; so I hid myself."
Han svarede: "Jeg hørte dig i Haven og blev angst, fordi jeg var nøgen, og så skjulte jeg mig!"
11 And he said, "Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?"
Da sagde han: "Hvem fortalte dig, at du var nøgen. Mon du har spist af det Træ, jeg sagde, du ikke måtte spise af?"
12 The man said, "The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I ate."
Adam svarede: "Kvinden, som du satte ved min Side, gav mig af Træet, og så spiste jeg."
13 Then God said to the woman, "What is this you have done?" The woman said, "The serpent deceived me, and I ate."
Da sagde Gud HERREN til Kvinde: "Hvad har du gjort!" Kvinden svarede: "Slangen forførte mig, og så spiste jeg."
14 So God said to the serpent, "Because you have done this, cursed are you above every tame animal, and above every wild animal. On your belly you shall go, and you shall eat dust all the days of your life.
Da sagde Gud HERREN til Slangen: "Fordi du har gjort dette, være du forbandet blandt al Kvæget og blandt alle Markens Dyr! På din Bug skal du krybe, og Støv skal du æde alle dit Livs Dage!
15 I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring. He will bruise your head, and you will bruise his heel."
Jeg sætter Fjendskab mellem dig og Kvinden, mellem din Sæd og hendes Sæd; den skal knuse dit Hoved, og du skal hugge den i Hælen!"
16 And to the woman he said, "I will greatly multiply your pain in childbirth. In pain you will bring forth children. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you."
Til Kvinden sagde han: "Jeg vil meget mangfoldiggøre dit Svangerskabs Møje; med Smerte skal du føde Børn; men til din Mand skal din Attrå være, og han skal herske over dig!"
17 To Adam he said, "Because you have listened to your wife's voice, and have eaten of the tree, of which I commanded you, saying, 'You shall not eat of it,' cursed is the ground for your sake. In toil you will eat of it all the days of your life.
Og til Adam sagde han: "Fordi du lyttede til din Hustrus Tale og spiste af Træet, som jeg sagde, du ikke måtte spise af, skal Jorden være forbandet for din Skyld; med Møje skal du skaffe dig Føde af den alle dit Livs Dage;
18 Thorns also and thistles will it bring forth to you; and you will eat the plants of the field.
Torn og Tidsel skal den bære dig, og Markens Urter skal være din Føde;
19 By the sweat of your face will you eat bread until you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken. For you are dust, and to dust you shall return."
i dit Ansigts Sved skal du spise dit Brød, indtil du vender tilbage til Jorden; thi af den er du taget; ja, Støv er du, og til Støv skal du vende tilbage!"
20 The man called his wife Eve, because she was the mother of all living.
Men Adam kaldte sin Hustru Eva, thi hun blev Moder til alt levende.
21 And God made clothing out of skins for Adam and for his wife, and clothed them.
Derpå gjorde Gud HERREN Skindkjortlet til Adam og hans Hustru og klædte dem dermed.
22 Then God said, "Look, the man has become like one of us, knowing good and evil. So now, let us send him out, lest he reach out his hand and also take of the tree of life and eat, and live forever."
Men Gud HERREN sagde: "Se, Mennesket er blevet som en af os til at kende godt og ondt. Nu skal han ikke række Hånden ud og tage også af Livets Træ og spise og leve evindelig!"
23 Therefore Jehovah sent him out of the garden of Eden, to till the ground from which he was taken.
Så forviste Gud HERREN ham fra Edens Have, for at han skulde dyrke Jorden, som han var taget af;
24 So he drove out the man; and he stationed the cherubim at the east of the garden of Eden, and a flaming sword which turned every direction, to guard the way to the tree of life.
og han drev Mennesket ud, og østen for Edens Have satte han Keruberne med det glimtende Flammesværd til at vogte Vejen til Livets Træ.
