Genesis 3
1 However, the serpent was more crafty than any of the creatures of the earth that the Lord God had made. And he said to the woman, “Why has God instructed you, that you should not eat from every tree of Paradise?”
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 The woman responded to him: “From the fruit of the trees which are in Paradise, we eat.
E disse a mulher à serpente: Do fruto das árvores do jardim comeremos,
3 Yet truly, from the fruit of the tree which is in the middle of Paradise, God has instructed us that we should not eat, and that we should not touch it, lest perhaps we may 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 Then the serpent said to the woman: “By no means will you die a death.
Então a serpente disse à mulher: Certamente não morrereis.
5 For God knows that, on whatever day you will eat from it, your eyes will be opened; and you will be like 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 so the woman saw that the tree was good to eat, and beautiful to the eyes, and delightful to consider. And she took from its fruit, and she ate. And she gave to her husband, who 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 them both were opened. And when they realized themselves to be naked, they joined together fig leaves and made coverings for themselves.
Então foram abertos os olhos de ambos, e conheceram que estavam nus; e coseram folhas de figueira, e fizeram para si aventais.
8 And when they had heard the voice of the Lord God taking a walk in Paradise in the afternoon breeze, Adam and his wife hid themselves from the face of the Lord God in the midst of the trees of Paradise.
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: “Where are you?”
E chamou o Senhor Deus a Adão, e disse-lhe: Onde estás?
10 And he said, “I heard your voice in Paradise, and I was afraid, because I was naked, and so I hid myself.”
E ele disse: Ouvi a tua voz soar no jardim, e temi, porque estava nú, e escondi-me.
11 He said to him, “Then who told you that you were naked, if you have not eaten of the tree from which I instructed you that you should not 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 me as a companion, gave to me from 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 she responded, “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 among all living things, even the wild beasts of the earth. Upon your breast shall you travel, and the ground shall you eat, 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 I will put enmities between you and the woman, between your offspring and her offspring. She will crush your head, and you will lie in wait for her 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 To the woman, he also said: “I will multiply your labors and your conceptions. In pain shall you give birth to sons, and you shall be under your husband’s power, and he shall have dominion 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 Yet truly, to Adam, he said: “Because you have listened to the voice of your wife, and have eaten of the tree, from which I instructed you that you should not eat, cursed is the land that you work. In hardship shall you eat from 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 produce for you, and you shall eat the plants of the earth.
Espinhos, e cardos também, te produzirá; e comerás a erva do campo.
19 By the sweat of your face shall you eat bread, until you return to the earth from which you were taken. For dust you are, and unto dust 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, ‘Eve,’ because she was the mother of all the living.
E chamou Adão o nome de sua mulher, Eva; porquanto ela era a mãe de todos os viventes.
21 The Lord God also made for Adam and his wife garments from skins, and he clothed them.
E fez o Senhor Deus a Adão e a sua mulher túnicas de peles, e os vestiu.
22 And he said: “Behold, Adam has become like one of us, knowing good and evil. Therefore, now perhaps he may put forth his hand and also take from the tree of life, and eat, and live in eternity.”
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 And so the Lord God sent him away from the Paradise of enjoyment, in order to work the earth from 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 in front of the Paradise of enjoyment, he placed the Cherubim with a flaming sword, turning together, to guard the way to 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.
