1 Bet čūska bija visviltīgākā no visiem lauku zvēriem, ko Dievs tas Kungs bija radījis. Tā teica sievai: „Vai Dievs tas Kungs tiešām jums būtu aizliedzis ēst no visiem dārza kokiem?“
2 Sieva teica čūskai: „Mums ir atļauts ēst no visiem dārza koku augļiem,
3 Bet par tā koka augļiem, kas ir dārza vidū, Dievs teicis: no tiem jums nebūs ēst nedz tos aiztikt, citādi jūs mirsit.“
4 Tad čūska teica sievai: „Jūs nemirsit vis,
5 Bet Dievs zina, ka tanī dienā, kad jūs no tiem ēdīsit, jūsu acis atvērsies un jūs būsit kā Dievs, zinādami, kas labs un kas ļauns.“
6 Un sieva vēroja, ka koks ir labs, lai no tā ēstu, un ka tas acīm jo tīkams un iekārojams, to uzskatot. Un viņa ņēma no koka, un ēda, un deva ari savam vīram, kas bija pie viņas, un tas arī ēda.
7 Tad viņu abu acis tika atvērtas, un viņi redzēja, ka viņi bija kaili, un viņi sašuva vīģes lapas un izveidoja sev priekšautus.
8 Kad viņi sadzirdēja Dieva tā Kunga balsi, kad Viņš dienas vēsumā staigāja pa dārzu, tad cilvēks un viņa sieva paslēpās dārza kokos Dieva tā Kunga priekšā.
9 Un Dievs tas Kungs sauca Ādamu, 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 sacījis, ka tu esi kails? Tu taču nebūsi ēdis no koka, no kura Es tev aizliedzu ēst?“
12 Un cilvēks sacīja: „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 nolādētākā visu dzīvnieku un lauku zvēru vidū! Uz sava vēdera tev būs līst un pīšļus rit visu tavu mūža dienu.
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 tavus grūtumus un tavas nopūtas, kad tu kļūsi māte. Sāpēs tev būs bērnus dzemdēt, un tava iegriba būs pēc tava vīra, bet viņam būs valdīt pār tevi.“
17 Un Ādamam Viņš sacīja: „Tāpēc, ka tu esi klausījis savas sievas balsij un esi ēdis no šī koka, no kura Es biju tev aizliedzis ēst, lai zeme ir nolādēta tevis dēļ; tev, grūti strādājot, būs maizi ēst visu tavu mūžu.
18 Ērkšķi un dadži lai tev izaug no tās, no lauka augiem tev būs pārtikt.
19 Sava vaiga sviedros tev būs maizi ēst, kamēr tu atgriezies pie zemes, jo no tās tu esi ņemts: tu esi puteklis, un pie pīšļiem tev būs atkal atgriezties.“
20 Un cilvēks nosauca savas sievas vārdu Ieva, jo viņa kļuva visu dzīvo māte.
21 Un Dievs tas Kungs darīja vīram un sievai drānas no ādām un lika tiem tās apģērbt.
22 Un Dievs tas Kungs sacīja: „Lūk, cilvēks ir kļuvis kā kāds no mums, zinādams, kas labs un ļauns! Bet ka tas tagad neizstiepj savu roku, un neņem arī no dzīvības koka, un neēd, un nekļūst mūžīgs, un nedzīvo mūžīgi!“
23 Tā Dievs tas Kungs izraidīja viņu no Ēdenes dārza, lai tas apstrādātu zemi, no kuras tas pats bija ņemts.
24 Un Viņš tam lika būt par svešinieku, un ķerubiem ar atvēzta zobena liesmu lika apmesties austrumos no Ēdenes dārza, lai tie apsargātu ceļu uz dzīvības koku.
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.
