¹ 天地萬物都造齊了。

² 到第七日，神造物的工已經完畢，就在第七日歇了他一切的工，安息了。

³ 神賜福給第七日，定為聖日；因為在這日，神歇了他一切創造的工，就安息了。

⁴ 創造天地的來歷，在耶和華神造天地的日子，乃是這樣，

⁵ 野地還沒有草木，田間的菜蔬還沒有長起來；因為耶和華神還沒有降雨在地上，也沒有人耕地，

⁶ 但有霧氣從地上騰，滋潤遍地。

⁷ 耶和華神用地上的塵土造人，將生氣吹在他鼻孔裡，他就成了有靈的活人，名叫亞當。

⁸ 耶和華神在東方的伊甸立了一個園子，把所造的人安置在那裡。

⁹ 耶和華神使各樣的樹從地裡長出來，可以悅人的眼目，其上的果子好作食物。園子當中又有生命樹和分別善惡的樹。

¹⁰ 有河從伊甸流出來，滋潤那園子，從那裡分為四道：

¹¹ 第一道名叫比遜，就是環繞哈腓拉全地的。在那裡有金子，

¹² 並且那地的金子是好的；在那裡又有珍珠和紅瑪瑙。

¹³ 第二道河名叫基訓，就是環繞古實全地的。

¹⁴ 第三道河名叫底格里斯，流在亞述的東邊。第四道河就是伯拉河。

¹⁵ 耶和華神將那人安置在伊甸園，使他修理，看守。

¹⁶ 耶和華神吩咐他說：園中各樣樹上的果子，你可以隨意吃，

¹⁷ 只是分別善惡樹上的果子，你不可吃，因為你吃的日子必定死！

¹⁸ 耶和華神說：那人獨居不好，我要為他造一個配偶幫助他。

¹⁹ 耶和華神用土所造成的野地各樣走獸和空中各樣飛鳥都帶到那人面前，看他叫甚麼。那人怎樣叫各樣的活物，那就是他的名字。

²⁰ 那人便給一切牲畜和空中飛鳥、野地走獸都起了名；只是那人沒有遇見配偶幫助他。

²¹ 耶和華神使他沉睡，他就睡了；於是取下他的一條肋骨，又把肉合起來。

²² 耶和華神就用那人身上所取的肋骨造成一個女人，領他到那人跟前。

²³ 那人說：這是我骨中的骨，肉中的肉，可以稱他為女人，因為他是從男人身上取出來的。

²⁴ 因此，人要離開父母，與妻子連合，二人成為一體。

²⁵ 當時夫妻二人赤身露體，並不羞恥。

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.
