Genesis 3

KING JAMES BIBLE	NEW JERUSALEM
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?	1 Now, the snake was the most subtle of al the wild animals that Yahweh God had made. It asked thewoman, 'Did God real y say you were not to eat from any of the trees in the garden?'
2 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:	2 The woman answered the snake, 'We may eat the fruit of the trees in 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.	3 But of the fruit of the tree in the middle of the garden God said, "You must not eat it, nor touch it, underpain of death." '
4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:	4 Then the snake said to the woman, 'No! You will not 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.	5 God knows in fact that the day you eat it your eyes wil be opened and you wil be like gods, knowinggood from 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.	6 The woman saw that the tree was good to eat and pleasing to the eye, and that it was enticing for thewisdom that it could give. So she took some of its fruit and ate it. She also gave some to her husband who waswith her, and he ate it.
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.	7 Then the eyes of both of them were opened and they realised that they were naked. So they sewed fig-leaves together to make themselves loin-cloths.
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.	8 The man and his wife heard the sound of Yahweh God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, andthey hid from Yahweh God among the trees of the garden.
9 And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?	9 But Yahweh God called to the man. 'Where are you?' he asked.
10 And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.	10 'I heard the sound of you in the garden,' he replied. 'I was afraid because I was naked, so I hid.'
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?	11 'Who told you that you were naked?' he asked. 'Have you been eating from the tree I forbade you toeat?'
12 And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.	12 The man replied, 'It was the woman you put with me; she gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ateit.'
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.	13 Then Yahweh God said to the woman, 'Why did you do that?' The woman replied, 'The snake temptedme and I ate.'
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:	14 Then Yahweh God said to the snake, 'Because you have done this, Accursed be you of al animalswild and tame! On your bel y you wil go and on dust you will feed as long as you live.
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.	15 I shal put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; it wil bruiseyour head and you wil strike its 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.	16 To the woman he said: I shal give you intense pain in childbearing, you will give birth to your childrenin pain. Your yearning wil be for your husband, and he wil dominate you.
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;	17 To the man he said, 'Because you listened to the voice of your wife and ate from the tree of which Ihad forbidden you to eat, Accursed be the soil because of you! Painful y will you get your food from it as long asyou live.
18 Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field;	18 It wil yield you brambles and thistles, as you eat the produce of the land.
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.	19 By the sweat of your face will you earn your food, until you return to the ground, as you were takenfrom it. For dust you are and to dust you shall return.'
20 And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.	20 The man named his wife 'Eve' because she was the mother of all those who live.
21 Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them.	21 Yahweh God made tunics of skins for the man and his wife 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:	22 Then Yahweh God said, 'Now that the man has become like one of us in knowing good from evil, hemust not be al owed to reach out his hand and pick from the tree of life too, 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.	23 So Yahweh God expelled him from the garden of Eden, to til the soil from which he had been 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.	24 He banished the man, and in front of the garden of Eden he posted the great winged creatures andthe fiery flashing sword, to guard the way to the tree of life.
