¹ Και συνετελεσθησαν ο ουρανος και η γη και πασα η στρατια αυτων.

² Και ειχε συντετελεσμενα ο Θεος εν τη ημερα τη εβδομη τα εργα αυτου, τα οποια εκαμε· και ανεπαυθη την ημεραν την εβδομην απο παντων των εργων αυτου, τα οποια εκαμε.

³ Και ευλογησεν ο Θεος την ημεραν την εβδομην και ηγιασεν αυτην· διοτι εν αυτη ανεπαυθη απο παντων των εργων αυτου, τα οποια εκτισε και εκαμεν ο Θεος.

⁴ Αυτη ειναι η γενεσις του ουρανου και της γης, οτε εκτισθησαν αυτα, καθ' ην ημεραν εποιησε Κυριος ο Θεος γην και ουρανον,

⁵ και παντα τα φυτα του αγρου, πριν γεινωσιν επι της γης, και παντα χορτον του αγρου, πριν βλαστηση· διοτι δεν ειχε βρεξει Κυριος ο Θεος επι της γης, και ανθρωπος δεν ητο δια να εργαζηται την γην

⁶ · ο ατμος δε ανεβαινεν απο της γης και εποτιζε παν το προσωπον της γης.

⁷ Και επλασε Κυριος ο Θεος τον ανθρωπον απο χωματος εκ της γης. και ενεφυσησεν εις τους μυκτηρας αυτου πνοην ζωης, και εγεινεν ο ανθρωπος εις ψυχην ζωσαν.

⁸ Και εφυτευσε Κυριος ο Θεος παραδεισον εν τη Εδεμ κατα ανατολας και εθεσεν εκει τον ανθρωπον, τον οποιον επλασε.

⁹ Και Κυριος ο Θεος εκαμε να βλαστηση εκ της γης παν δενδρον ωραιον εις την ορασιν και καλον εις την γευσιν· και το ξυλον της ζωης εν μεσω του παραδεισου και το ξυλον της γνωσεως του καλου και του κακου.

¹⁰ Ποταμος δε εξηρχετο εκ της Εδεμ δια να ποτιζη τον παραδεισον· και εκειθεν εμεριζετο εις τεσσαρας κλαδους.

¹¹ Το ονομα του ενος, Φισων· ουτος ειναι ο περικυκλονων πασαν την γην Αβιλα· οπου ευρισκεται το χρυσιον·

¹² το δε χρυσιον της γης εκεινης ειναι καλον· εκει ειναι το βδελλιον και ο λιθος ο ονυχιτης.

¹³ Και το ονομα του ποταμου του δευτερου, Γιων· ουτος ειναι ο περικυκλονων πασαν την γην Χους.

¹⁴ Και το ονομα του ποταμου του τριτου, Τιγρις· ουτος ειναι ο ρεων προς ανατολας της Ασσυριας. Ο δε ποταμος ο τεταρτος, ουτος ειναι ο Ευφρατης.

¹⁵ Και ελαβε Κυριος ο Θεος τον ανθρωπον και εθεσεν αυτον εν τω παραδεισω της Εδεμ δια να εργαζηται αυτον και να φυλαττη αυτον.

¹⁶ Προσεταξε δε Κυριος ο Θεος εις τον Αδαμ λεγων, Απο παντος δενδρου του παραδεισου ελευθερως θελεις τρωγει,

¹⁷ απο δε του ξυλου της γνωσεως του καλου και του κακου δεν θελεις φαγει απ' αυτου· διοτι καθ' ην ημεραν φαγης απ' αυτου, θελεις εξαπαντος αποθανει.

¹⁸ Και ειπε Κυριος ο Θεος, Δεν ειναι καλον να ηναι ο ανθρωπος μονος· θελω καμει εις αυτον βοηθον ομοιον με αυτον.

¹⁹ Επλασε δε Κυριος ο Θεος εκ της γης παντα τα ζωα του αγρου και παντα τα πετεινα του ουρανου, και εφερεν αυτα προς τον Αδαμ, δια να ιδη πως να ονομαση αυτα· και ο, τι ονομα ηθελε δωσει ο Αδαμ εις παν εμψυχον, τουτο να ηναι το ονομα αυτου.

²⁰ Και εδωκεν ο Αδαμ ονοματα εις παντα τα κτηνη και εις τα πτηνα του ουρανου και εις παντα τα ζωα του αγρου· εις δε τον Αδαμ δεν ευρισκετο βοηθος ομοιος με αυτον.

²¹ Και επεβαλε Κυριος ο Θεος εκστασιν επι τον Αδαμ, και εκοιμηθη· και ελαβε μιαν εκ των πλευρων αυτου και εκλεισε με σαρκα τον τοπον αυτης.

²² Και κατεσκευασε Κυριος ο Θεος την πλευραν, την οποιαν ελαβεν απο του Αδαμ, εις γυναικα και εφερεν αυτην προς τον Αδαμ.

²³ Και ειπεν ο Αδαμ, Τουτο ειναι τωρα οστουν εκ των οστεων μου και σαρξ εκ της σαρκος μου· αυτη θελει ονομασθη ανδρις, διοτι εκ του ανδρος αυτη εληφθη.

²⁴ Δια τουτο θελει αφησει ο ανθρωπος τον πατερα αυτου και την μητερα αυτου, και θελει προσκολληθη εις την γυναικα αυτου· και θελουσιν εισθαι οι δυο εις σαρκα μιαν.

²⁵ Ησαν δε και οι δυο γυμνοι, ο Αδαμ και η γυνη αυτου, και δεν ησχυνοντο.

¹ Now 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?'"

² The woman said to the serpent, "Of the fruit of the trees of the garden we may eat,

³ but of the fruit of the tree which is in the middle of the garden, God has said, 'You shall not eat of it, neither shall you touch it, lest you die.'"

⁴ The serpent said to the woman, "You won't surely die,

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."

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 of its fruit, and ate; and she gave some to her husband with her, and he ate.

⁷ The eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked. They sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.

⁸ They heard the voice of Yahweh God 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.

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

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

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

¹² The man said, "The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I ate."

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

¹⁴ Yahweh God said to the serpent, "Because you have done this, you are cursed above all livestock, and above every animal of the field. On your belly you shall go, and you shall eat dust all the days of your life.

¹⁵ I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring. He will bruise your head, and you will bruise his heel."

¹⁶ To the woman he said, "I will greatly multiply your pain in childbirth. In pain you will bring forth children. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you."

¹⁷ To Adam he said, "Because you have listened to your wife's voice, and have eaten of the tree, of which I commanded you, saying, 'You shall not eat of it,' cursed is the ground for your sake. In toil you will eat of it all the days of your life.

¹⁸ Thorns also and thistles will it bring forth to you; and you will eat the herb of the field.

¹⁹ By the sweat of your face will you eat bread until you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken. For you are dust, and to dust you shall return."

²⁰ The man called his wife Eve, because she was the mother of all living.

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

²² Yahweh God said, "Behold, the man has become like one of us, knowing good and evil. Now, lest he put forth his hand, and also take of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever..."

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

²⁴ So he drove out the man; and he placed Cherubs at the east of the garden of Eden, and the flame of a sword which turned every way, to guard the way to the tree of life.
