International Standard Version

1Now the serpent was more crafty than any beast of the field that the LORD God had made. And he said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden?’ ”

1Now the Shining One was more clever than any animal of the field that the LORD God had made. It asked the woman, "Did God actually say, 'You are not to eat from any tree of the garden'?"

2The woman answered the serpent, “We may eat the fruit of the trees of the garden,

2"We may eat from the trees of the garden," the woman answered the serpent,

3but about the fruit of the tree in the middle of the garden, God has said, ‘You must not eat of it or touch it, or you will die.’ ”

3"but as for the fruit of the tree that is in the middle of the garden, God has said, 'You are not to eat from it, nor are you to touch it, or you will die.'"

4“You will not surely die,” the serpent told her.

4"You certainly will not die!" the Shining One told the woman.

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

5"Even God knows that on the day you eat from it, your eyes will be opened and you'll become like God, knowing good and evil."

6When the woman saw that the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eyes, and that it was desirable for obtaining wisdom, she took the fruit and ate it. She also gave some to her husband who was with her, and he ate it.

6When the woman saw that the tree produced good food, was attractive in appearance, and was desirable for making one wise, she took some of its fruit and ate it. Then she also gave some to her husband who was with her, and he ate some, too.

7And the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked; so they sewed together fig leaves and made coverings for themselves.

7As a result, they both understood what they had done, and they became aware that they were naked. So they sewed fig leaves together and made loincloths for themselves.

8Then the man and his wife heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the breeze of the day, and they hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God among the trees of the garden.

8When they heard the voice of the LORD God as he was walking in the garden during the breeze of the day, the man and his wife concealed themselves from the presence of the LORD God among the trees of the garden.

9But the LORD God called out to the man, “Where are you?”

9So the LORD God called out to the man, asking him, "Where are you?"

10“I heard Your voice in the garden,” he replied, “and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid myself.”

10"I heard your voice in the garden," the man answered, "and I was afraid because I was naked, so I hid from you."

11“Who told you that you were naked?” asked the LORD God. “Have you eaten from the tree of which I commanded you not to eat?”

11"Who told you that you are naked?" God asked. "Did you eat fruit from the tree that I commanded you not to eat?"

12And the man answered, “The woman whom You gave me, she gave me fruit from the tree, and I ate it.”

12The man answered, "The woman whom you provided for me gave me fruit from the tree, and I ate some of it."

13Then the LORD God said to the woman, “What is this you have done?” “The serpent deceived me,” she replied, “and I ate.”

13Then the LORD God asked the woman, "What did you do?" "The Shining One misled me," the woman answered, "so I ate."

14So the LORD God said to the serpent: “Because you have done this, cursed are you above all livestock and every beast of the field! On your belly will you go, and dust you will eat, all the days of your life.

14The LORD God told the Shining One, "Because you have done this, you are more cursed than all the livestock, and more than all the earth's animals, You'll crawl on your belly and eat dust as long as you live.

15And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed. He will crush your head, and you will strike his heel.”

15"I'll place hostility between you and the woman, between your offspring and her offspring. He'll strike you on the head, and you'll strike him on the heel."

16To the woman He said: “I will sharply increase your pain in childbirth; in pain you will bring forth children. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you.”

16He told the woman, "I'll greatly increase the pain of your labor during childbirth. It will be painful for you to bear children, "since your trust is turning toward your husband, and he will dominate you."

17And to Adam He said: “Because you have listened to the voice of your wife and have eaten from the tree of which I commanded you not to eat, cursed is the ground because of you; through toil you will eat of it all the days of your life.

17He told the man, "Because you have listened to what your wife said, and have eaten from the tree about which I commanded you, 'You must not eat from it,' cursed is the ground because of you. You'll eat from it through pain-filled labor for the rest of your life.

18Both thorns and thistles it will yield for you, and you will eat the plants of the field.

18It will produce thorns and thistles for you, and you'll eat the plants from the meadows.

19By the sweat of your brow you will eat your bread, until you return to the ground—because out of it were you taken. For dust you are, and to dust you shall return.”

19You will eat food by the sweat of your brow until you're buried in the ground, because you were taken from it. You're made from dust and you'll return to dust."

20And Adam named his wife Eve, because she would be the mother of all the living.

20Now Adam had named his wife "Eve," because she was to become the mother of everyone who was living.

21And the LORD God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife, and He clothed them.

21The LORD God fashioned garments from animal skins for Adam and his wife, and clothed them.

22Then the LORD God said, “Behold, the man has become like one of Us, knowing good and evil. And now, lest he reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life, and eat, and live forever...”

22Later, the LORD God said, "Look! The man has become like one of us in knowing good and evil. Now, so he won't reach out, also take from the tree of life, eat, and then live forever—"

23Therefore the LORD God banished him from the Garden of Eden to work the ground from which he had been taken.

23therefore the LORD God expelled the man from the garden of Eden so he would work the ground from which he had been taken.

24So He drove out the man and stationed cherubim on the east side of the Garden of Eden, along with a whirling sword of flame to guard the way to the tree of life.

24After he had expelled the man, the LORD God placed winged angels at the eastern end of the garden of Eden, along with a fiery, turning sword, to prevent access to the tree of life.
