< 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’?”
Porém a serpente era astuta, mais que todos os animais do campo que o SENHOR Deus havia feito. E ela disse à mulher: Deus vos disse: Não comais de toda árvore do jardim?
2 The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat fruit from the trees of the garden,
E a mulher respondeu à serpente: Do fruto das árvores do jardim podemos comer;
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.’”
mas do fruto da árvore que está no meio do jardim, Deus disse: Não comereis dele, nem o tocareis, para que não morrais.
4 The serpent said to the woman, “You won’t really die,
Então a serpente disse à mulher: Não morrereis;
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.”
Mas Deus sabe que no dia que comerdes dele, vossos olhos serão abertos, e sereis como deuses, sabendo o bem e o mal.
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.
E a mulher viu que a árvore era boa para se comer, agradável aos olhos, e árvore desejável para se obter conhecimento. E ela tomou de seu fruto, e comeu; e deu também ao seu marido com ela, e ele comeu.
7 Their eyes were opened, and they both knew that they were naked. They sewed fig leaves together, and made coverings for themselves.
E foram abertos os olhos de ambos, e conheceram que estavam nus. Então coseram folhas de figueira, e fizeram para si aventais.
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 amongst the trees of the garden.
E ouviram a voz do SENHOR Deus, que passeava no jardim à brisa do dia; e o homem e sua mulher esconderam-se da presença do SENHOR Deus entre as árvores do jardim.
9 The LORD God called to the man, and said to him, “Where are you?”
E o SENHOR Deus chamou ao homem, e lhe disse: “Onde estás?
10 The man said, “I heard your voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; so I hid myself.”
E ele respondeu: “Ouvi tua voz no jardim, e tive medo, porque estava nu; e me escondi”.
11 God said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?”
E disse-lhe: “Quem te ensinou que estavas nu? Comeste da árvore de que te mandei que não comesses?”
12 The man said, “The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me fruit from the tree, and I ate it.”
E o homem respondeu: “A mulher que me deste por companheira me deu da árvore, e eu comi”.
13 The LORD God said to the woman, “What have you done?” The woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”
Então o SENHOR Deus disse à mulher: “Por que fizeste isto?” E a mulher disse: “A serpente me enganou, e comi”.
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.
E o SENHOR Deus disse à serpente: “Porque fizeste isto, maldita serás entre todos os animais selvagens e entre todos os animais do campo; sobre teu ventre andarás, e pó comerás todos os dias da tua vida.
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.”
E porei inimizade entre ti e a mulher, e entre tua descendência e a descendência dela; esta te ferirá a cabeça, e tu lhe ferirás o calcanhar”.
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.”
E para a mulher disse: “Multiplicarei grandemente as tuas dores e teus sofrimentos de parto; com dor darás à luz filhos; e o teu desejo será para o teu marido, e ele te dominará”.
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 labour all the days of your life.
E ao homem disse: “Porque deste ouvidos à voz de tua mulher, e comeste da árvore de que te mandei dizendo, ‘Não comerás dela’, maldita será a terra por causa de ti; com dor comerás dela todos os dias da tua vida;
18 It will yield thorns and thistles to you; and you will eat the herb of the field.
Espinhos e cardos te produzirá, e comerás erva do campo.
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.”
No suor do teu rosto comerás o pão até que voltes à terra, porque dela foste tomado; porque pó és, e ao pó voltarás”.
20 The man called his wife Havah because she would be the mother of all the living.
E chamou o homem o nome de sua mulher, Eva; porquanto ela era mãe de todos o viventes.
21 The LORD God made garments of animal skins for Adam and for his wife, and clothed them.
E o SENHOR Deus fez ao homem e à sua mulher túnicas de peles, e os vestiu.
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—”
E disse o SENHOR Deus: Eis que o homem é como um de Nos sabendo o bem e o mal; agora, pois, para que não estenda sua mão, e tome também da árvore da vida, e coma, e viva para sempre:
23 Therefore the LORD God sent him out from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from which he was taken.
E tirou-o o SENHOR do jardim de Éden, para que lavrasse a terra de que foi tomado.
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.
Lançou, pois, fora ao homem, e pôs ao oriente do jardim de Éden querubins, e uma espada acesa que se revolvia a todos os lados, para guardar o caminho da árvore da vida.
