Gênesis 3— comparação

1Ora, a serpente era mais astuta que qualquer animal do campo que o SENHOR Deus tinha feito. Ela disse à mulher: “Deus realmente disse: ‘Vocês não comerão de nenhuma árvore do jardim’?”

2A mulher disse à serpente: “Nós podemos comer do fruto das árvores do jardim,

3mas não do fruto da árvore que está no meio do jardim. Deus disse: ‘Vocês não comerão dele, nem tocarão nele, para que não morram’.”

4A serpente disse à mulher: “Certamente vocês não morrerão,

5porque Deus sabe que no dia em que comerem dele, os seus olhos se abrirão, e vocês serão como Deus, conhecendo o bem e o mal.”

6Quando a mulher viu que a árvore era boa para se comer, e que era agradável aos olhos, e que a árvore era desejável para dar entendimento, ela tomou do seu fruto e comeu. Então ela deu um pouco ao seu marido que estava com ela, e ele também comeu.

7Os olhos de ambos se abriram, e eles perceberam que estavam nus. Eles costuraram folhas de figueira e fizeram coberturas para si mesmos.

8Eles ouviram a voz do SENHOR Deus, que andava no jardim à brisa do dia, e o homem e sua mulher se esconderam da presença do SENHOR Deus entre as árvores do jardim.

9O SENHOR Deus chamou o homem e lhe disse: “Onde você está?”

10O homem disse: “Eu ouvi a tua voz no jardim e tive medo, porque eu estava nu; por isso me escondi.”

11Deus disse: “Quem lhe disse que você estava nu? Você comeu da árvore da qual eu lhe ordenei que não comesse?”

12O homem disse: “A mulher que me deste para estar comigo, ela me deu do fruto da árvore, e eu comi.”

13O SENHOR Deus disse à mulher: “O que é isso que você fez?”

14O SENHOR Deus disse à serpente:

15Porei inimizade entre você e a mulher,

16À mulher ele disse:

17A Adão ele disse:

18Ela lhe produzirá espinhos e abrolhos;

19Com o suor do seu rosto você comerá o seu pão, até que volte à terra,

20O homem chamou sua mulher de Eva, porque ela seria a mãe de todos os viventes.

21O SENHOR Deus fez vestimentas de peles de animais para Adão e para sua mulher, e os vestiu.

22O SENHOR Deus disse: “Eis que o homem se tornou como um de nós, conhecendo o bem e o mal. Agora, para que ele não estenda a sua mão, e tome também da árvore da vida, e coma, e viva para sempre—”

23Portanto, o SENHOR Deus o mandou embora do jardim do Éden, para cultivar a terra da qual ele havia sido tirado.

24Assim ele expulsou o homem; e colocou querubins ao oriente do jardim do Éden, e uma espada flamejante que se movia em todas as direções, para guardar o caminho para a árvore da vida.

1Now the serpent was more subtle than any animal of the field which Yahweh God had made. He said to the woman, “Has God really said, ‘You shall not eat of any tree of the garden’?”

2The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat fruit from the trees of the garden,

3but 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.’”

4The serpent said to the woman, “You won’t really die,

5for God knows that in the day you eat it, your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”

6When 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.

7Their eyes were opened, and they both knew that they were naked. They sewed fig leaves together, and made coverings for themselves.

8They heard Yahweh 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 Yahweh God among the trees of the garden.

9Yahweh God called to the man, and said to him, “Where are you?”

10The man said, “I heard your voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; so I hid myself.”

11God said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?”

12The man said, “The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me fruit from the tree, and I ate it.”

13Yahweh God said to the woman, “What have you done?” The woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”

14Yahweh 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.

15I 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.”

16To 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.”

17To 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.

18It will yield thorns and thistles to you; and you will eat the herb of the field.

19You 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.”

20The man called his wife Eve because she would be the mother of all the living.

21Yahweh God made garments of animal skins for Adam and for his wife, and clothed them.

22Yahweh 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—”

23Therefore Yahweh God sent him out from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from which he was taken.

24So 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.
