< Genesis 3 >

1 Now the serpent was more subtle than any animal of the field which the LORD God had made. He said to the woman, “Has God really said, ‘You shall not eat of any tree of the garden’?”
sed et serpens erat callidior cunctis animantibus terrae quae fecerat Dominus Deus qui dixit ad mulierem cur praecepit vobis Deus ut non comederetis de omni ligno paradisi
2 The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat fruit from the trees of the garden,
cui respondit mulier de fructu lignorum quae sunt in paradiso vescemur
3 but not the fruit of the tree which is in the middle of the garden. God has said, ‘You shall not eat of it. You shall not touch it, lest you die.’”
de fructu vero ligni quod est in medio paradisi praecepit nobis Deus ne comederemus et ne tangeremus illud ne forte moriamur
4 The serpent said to the woman, “You will not really die,
dixit autem serpens ad mulierem nequaquam morte moriemini
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.”
scit enim Deus quod in quocumque die comederitis ex eo aperientur oculi vestri et eritis sicut dii scientes bonum et malum
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 some of its fruit, and ate. Then she gave some to her husband with her, and he ate it, too.
vidit igitur mulier quod bonum esset lignum ad vescendum et pulchrum oculis aspectuque delectabile et tulit de fructu illius et comedit deditque viro suo qui comedit
7 Their eyes were opened, and they both knew that they were naked. They sewed fig leaves together, and made coverings for themselves.
et aperti sunt oculi amborum cumque cognovissent esse se nudos consuerunt folia ficus et fecerunt sibi perizomata
8 They heard the LORD God’s voice walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God among the trees of the garden.
et cum audissent vocem Domini Dei deambulantis in paradiso ad auram post meridiem abscondit se Adam et uxor eius a facie Domini Dei in medio ligni paradisi
9 The LORD God called to the man, and said to him, “Where are you?”
vocavitque Dominus Deus Adam et dixit ei ubi es
10 The man said, “I heard your voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; so I hid myself.”
qui ait vocem tuam audivi in paradiso et timui eo quod nudus essem et abscondi me
11 God said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?”
cui dixit quis enim indicavit tibi quod nudus esses nisi quod ex ligno de quo tibi praeceperam ne comederes comedisti
12 The man said, “The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me fruit from the tree, and I ate it.”
dixitque Adam mulier quam dedisti sociam mihi dedit mihi de ligno et comedi
13 The LORD God said to the woman, “What have you done?” The woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”
et dixit Dominus Deus ad mulierem quare hoc fecisti quae respondit serpens decepit me et comedi
14 The LORD God said to the serpent, “Because you have done this, you are cursed above all livestock, and above every animal of the field. You shall go on your belly and you shall eat dust all the days of your life.
et ait Dominus Deus ad serpentem quia fecisti hoc maledictus es inter omnia animantia et bestias terrae super pectus tuum gradieris et terram comedes cunctis diebus vitae tuae
15 I will put hostility between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring. He will bruise your head, and you will bruise his heel.”
inimicitias ponam inter te et mulierem et semen tuum et semen illius ipsa conteret caput tuum et tu insidiaberis calcaneo eius
16 To the woman he said, “I will greatly multiply your pain in childbirth. You will bear children in pain. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you.”
mulieri quoque dixit multiplicabo aerumnas tuas et conceptus tuos in dolore paries filios et sub viri potestate eris et ipse dominabitur tui
17 To Adam he said, “Because you have listened to your wife’s voice, and have eaten from the tree, about which I commanded you, saying, ‘You shall not eat of it,’ the ground is cursed for your sake. You will eat from it with much labor all the days of your life.
ad Adam vero dixit quia audisti vocem uxoris tuae et comedisti de ligno ex quo praeceperam tibi ne comederes maledicta terra in opere tuo in laboribus comedes eam cunctis diebus vitae tuae
18 It will yield thorns and thistles to you; and you will eat the herb of the field.
spinas et tribulos germinabit tibi et comedes herbas terrae
19 You will eat bread by the sweat of your face until you return to the ground, for you were taken out of it. For you are dust, and you shall return to dust.”
in sudore vultus tui vesceris pane donec revertaris in terram de qua sumptus es quia pulvis es et in pulverem reverteris
20 The man called his wife Eve because she would be the mother of all the living.
et vocavit Adam nomen uxoris suae Hava eo quod mater esset cunctorum viventium
21 The LORD God made garments of animal skins for Adam and for his wife, and clothed them.
fecit quoque Dominus Deus Adam et uxori eius tunicas pellicias et induit eos
22 The LORD God said, “Behold, the man has become like one of us, knowing good and evil. Now, lest he reach out his hand, and also take of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever—”
et ait ecce Adam factus est quasi unus ex nobis sciens bonum et malum nunc ergo ne forte mittat manum suam et sumat etiam de ligno vitae et comedat et vivat in aeternum
23 Therefore the LORD God sent him out from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from which he was taken.
emisit eum Dominus Deus de paradiso voluptatis ut operaretur terram de qua sumptus est
24 So he drove out the man; and he placed cherubim at the east of the garden of Eden, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to guard the way to the tree of life.
eiecitque Adam et conlocavit ante paradisum voluptatis cherubin et flammeum gladium atque versatilem ad custodiendam viam ligni vitae
