1 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? 2 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: 3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. 4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: 5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat. 7 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons. 8 And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden.
9 And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou? 10 And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.
11 And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat? 12 And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat. 13 And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.
14 And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life: 15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. 16 Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.
17 And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life; 18 Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field; 19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art , and unto dust shalt thou return. 20 And Adam called his wife’s name Eve; because she was the mother of all living. 21 Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them.
22 ¶ And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever: 23 Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken. 24 So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.
1 Bet čūska bija visviltīgākā no visiem lauku zvēriem, ko Dievs Tas Kungs bija radījis. Tā teica sievai: "Vai tad tiešām Dievs ir teicis: neēdiet ne no viena koka dārzā?" 2 Sieva teica čūskai: "Mēs ēdam no koku augļiem dārzā, 3 bet par tā koka augļiem, kas ir dārza vidū, Dievs teicis: no tā jums nebūs ēst, nedz to aiztikt, citādi jūs mirsit." 4 Tad čūska teica sievai: "Jūs mirt nemirsit, 5 bet Dievs zina, ka tanī dienā, kad jūs no tā ēdīsit, jūsu acis atvērsies un jūs būsit kā Dievs, zinādami labu un ļaunu." 6 Un sieva redzēja, ka koks ir labs, lai no tā ēstu, un ka tas jo tīkams acīm un iekārojams, ka dara gudru. Un viņa ņēma no tā augļiem un ēda, un deva arī savam vīram, kas bija ar viņu, un viņš ēda. 7 Tad viņu abu acis tapa atvērtas, un viņi atzina, ka viņi bija kaili, un viņi savija vīģes lapas un taisīja sev gurnu apsējus. 8 Tad viņi sadzirdēja Dieva Tā Kunga balsi, kas dārzā staigāja dienas vēsumā; tad cilvēks un viņa sieva paslēpās starp dārza kokiem Dieva Tā Kunga priekšā. 9 Un Dievs Tas Kungs sauca cilvēku, sacīdams: "Kur tu esi?" 10 Tas atbildēja: "Es dzirdēju Tavu balsi dārzā, un mani pārņēma bailes, jo es esmu kails, un es paslēpos." 11 Bet Viņš sacīja: "Kas tev ir teicis, ka tu esi kails? Vai tu neesi ēdis no koka, no kura Es tev aizliedzu ēst?" 12 Un cilvēks sacīja: "Tā sieva, ko Tu man devi, lai viņa būtu ar mani, tā man deva no tā koka, un es ēdu." 13 Un Dievs Tas Kungs sacīja sievai: "Ko tu esi darījusi?" Un sieva sacīja: "Čūska mani pievīla, un es ēdu." 14 Un Dievs Tas Kungs sacīja čūskai: "Tādēļ ka tu to esi darījusi, tu esi nolādēta visu lopu un lauku zvēru vidū! Uz sava vēdera tev būs līst un pīšļus ēst visas tavas mūža dienas. 15 Un Es celšu ienaidu starp tevi un sievu, starp tavu dzimumu un sievas dzimumu. Tas tev sadragās galvu, bet tu viņam iekodīsi papēdī." 16 Sievai Viņš sacīja: "Vairodams Es vairošu tavas sāpes un tavu radību mokas - sāpēs tev būs bērnus dzemdēt; un tev būs kārot pēc sava vīra, un viņam būs valdīt pār tevi." 17 Un cilvēkam Viņš sacīja: "Tā kā tu esi klausījis savas sievas balsij un esi ēdis no šī koka, par kuru Es tev pavēlēju, sacīdams: tev nebūs no tā ēst, - lai zeme ir nolādēta tevis dēļ; tev, smagi strādājot, būs maizi ēst visas sava mūža dienas. 18 Ērkšķus un dadžus lai tā tev dod, no lauka augiem tev būs pārtikt. 19 Sava vaiga sviedros tev būs maizi ēst, līdz kamēr tu atkal atgriezies pie zemes, jo no tās tu esi ņemts: jo tu esi pīšļi, un pie pīšļiem tev atkal būs atgriezties." 20 Un cilvēks nosauca savas sievas vārdu: Ieva , jo viņa ir visu dzīvo māte. 21 Un Dievs Tas Kungs darīja cilvēkam un viņa sievai drānas no ādām un tajās ieģērba viņus. 22 Un Dievs Tas Kungs sacīja: "Redzi, cilvēks ir kļuvis kā kāds no mums, zinādams labu un ļaunu! Bet ka tas tagad neizstiepj savu roku un neņem arī no dzīvības koka, un neēd, un nedzīvo mūžīgi!" 23 Tā Dievs Tas Kungs izraidīja viņu no Ēdenes dārza, lai viņš apstrādātu zemi, no kuras viņš tika ņemts. 24 Un Viņš izdzina cilvēku ārā; un Viņš nolika uz austrumiem no Ēdenes dārza ķerubus un abpus liesmojošu zobenu, lai sargātu ceļu uz dzīvības koku.
