Liber Genesis

Sed et serpens erat callidior cunctis animantibus terræ quæ fecerat Dominus Deus. Qui dixit ad mulierem: Cur præcepit vobis Deus ut non comederetis de omni ligno paradisi?

Now the serpent was more subtle than any of the beasts of the earth which the Lord God had made. And he said to the woman: Why hath God commanded you, that you should not eat of every tree of paradise?

Sed et serpente es callideo cuncta animantes de terra Domino Deo fac que. Qui dic ad muliere: quare Deo ad vos praecipie ut non comede de omni ligno de paradiso?

Cui respondit mulier: De fructu lignorum, quæ sunt in paradiso, vescimur:

And the woman answered him, saying: Of the fruit of the trees that are in paradise we do eat:

Ad que responde muliere: de fructu de lignos, que es in paradiso, vesce:

de fructu vero ligni quod est in medio paradisi, præcepit nobis Deus ne comederemus, et ne tangeremus illud, ne forte moriamur.

But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of paradise, God hath commanded us that we should not eat; and that we should not touch it, lest perhaps we die.

De fructu vero de ligno quod es in medio de paradiso, Deo ad nos praecipie ne comede, et ne tange illo, ne forte more.

Dixit autem serpens ad mulierem: Nequaquam morte moriemini.

And the serpent said to the woman: No, you shall not die the death.

Serpente autem dic ad muliere: nequamuam morte more.

Scit enim Deus quod in quocumque die comederitis ex eo, aperientur oculi vestri, et eritis sicut dii, scientes bonum et malum.

For God doth know that in what day soever you shall eat thereof, your eyes shall be opened: and you shall be as Gods, knowing good and evil.

Deo nam sci quod in quocumque die comede ex eo, oculos vestro aperi, et es sicut deos, sci bono et malo.

Vidit igitur mulier quod bonum esset lignum ad vescendum, et pulchrum oculis, aspectuque delectabile: et tulit de fructu illius, et comedit: deditque viro suo, qui comedit.

And the woman saw that the tree was good to eat, and fair to the eyes, and delightful to behold: and she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave to her husband, who did eat.

Vide ergo muliere quod bono es ligno ad vesce, et pulcherrimo oculos, et aspectu delectabile: et fer de fructu de illo, et comede: et da ad viro suo, qui comede.

Et aperti sunt oculi amborum; cumque cognovissent se esse nudos, consuerunt folia ficus, et fecerunt sibi perizomata.

And the eyes of them both were opened: and when they perceived themselves to be naked, they sewed together fig leaves, and made themselves aprons.

Et aperi es oculos ambo; cumque cognosce se es nuda, folios ficus consuesce, et fac ad se perizomato.

Et cum audissent vocem Domini Dei deambulantis in paradiso ad auram post meridiem, abscondit se Adam et uxor ejus a facie Domini Dei in medio ligni paradisi.

And when they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in paradise at the afternoon air, Adam and his wife hid themselves from the face of the Lord God, amidst the trees of paradise.

Et cum audi voce de Domino de Deo deambula in paradiso ad aura post meridie, Adamo et uxore de illo absconde se ab facie de Domino de Deo in medio de ligno de paradiso.

Vocavitque Dominus Deus Adam, et dixit ei: Ubi es?

And the Lord God called Adam, and said to him: Where art thou?

Et Domino Deo Adamo voca, et dic ad illo: ubi es?

Qui ait: Vocem tuam audivi in paradiso, et timui, eo quod nudus essem, et abscondi me.

And he said: I heard thy voice in paradise; and I was afraid, because I was naked, and I hid myself.

Qui dic: voce tuo audi in paradiso, et time, eo quod nuda es, et absconde me.

Cui dixit: Quis enim indicavit tibi quod nudus esses, nisi quod ex ligno de quo præceperam tibi ne comederes, comedisti?

And he said to him: And who hath told thee that thou wast naked, but that thou hast eaten of the tree whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldst not eat?

Ad que dic: qui nam indica ad te quod nuda es, nisi quod ex ligno de quo praecipie ad te ne comede, comede?

Dixitque Adam: Mulier, quam dedisti mihi sociam, dedit mihi de ligno, et comedi.

And Adam said: The woman, whom thou gavest me to be my companion, gave me of the tree, and I did eat.

Et dic Adamo: muliere, quam da ad me socia, da ad me de ligno, et ad comedo.

Et dixit Dominus Deus ad mulierem: Quare hoc fecisti? Quæ respondit: Serpens decepit me, et comedi.

And the Lord God said to the woman: Why hast thou done this? And she answered: The serpent deceived me, and I did eat.

Et Domino Deo dic ad muliere: quare hoc fac? Que responde: serpente decipie me, et ad comedo.

Et ait Dominus Deus ad serpentem: Quia fecisti hoc, maledictus es inter omnia animantia, et bestias terræ: super pectus tuum gradieris, et terram comedes cunctis diebus vitæ tuæ.

And the Lord God said to the serpent: Because thou hast done this thing, thou art cursed among all cattle, and beasts of the earth: upon thy breast shalt thou go, and earth shalt thou eat all the days of thy life.

Et Domino Deo dic ad serpente: quia fac hoc, maledice es inter omni animantias, et bestias de terra: super pectore tuo grada, et terra comede cuncta dies de vita tuo.

Inimicitias ponam inter te et mulierem, et semen tuum et semen illius: ipsa conteret caput tuum, et tu insidiaberis calcaneo ejus.

I will put enmities between thee and the woman, and thy seed and her seed: she shall crush thy head, and thou shalt lie in wait for her heel.

Inimicitias pone inter te et muliere, et semine tuo et semine de illo: ipso contere capite tuo, et te insidior calcaneo de illo.

Mulieri quoque dixit: Multiplicabo ærumnas tuas, et conceptus tuos: in dolore paries filios, et sub viri potestate eris, et ipse dominabitur tui.

To the woman also he said: I will multiply thy sorrows, and thy conceptions: in sorrow shalt thou bring forth children, and thou shalt be under thy husband's power, and he shall have dominion over thee.

Ad mulieri etiam dic: multiplica aerumnas tuo, et concipe tuo: in dolore pare filios, et sub viro potestate es, et ipso dominor tuo.

Adæ vero dixit: Quia audisti vocem uxoris tuæ, et comedisti de ligno, ex quo præceperam tibi ne comederes, maledicta terra in opere tuo: in laboribus comedes ex ea cunctis diebus vitæ tuæ.

And to Adam he said: Because thou hast hearkened to the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee, that thou shouldst not eat, cursed is the earth in thy work: with labour and toil shalt thou eat thereof all the days of thy life.

De adamo vero dic: quia audi voce de uxore tuo, et comede de ligno, ex quo praecipie ad te ne comede, maledice terra in opere tuo: in labores comede ex illa cuncta dies de vita tuo.

Spinas et tribulos germinabit tibi, et comedes herbam terræ.

Thorns and thistles shall it bring forth to thee, and thou shalt eat the herbs of the earth.

Spinas et tribulos germina ad te, et comede herba de terra.

In sudore vultus tui vesceris pane, donec revertaris in terram de qua sumptus es: quia pulvis es et in pulverem reverteris.

In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread till thou return to the earth out of which thou wast taken: for dust thou art, and into dust thou shalt return.

In sudore de vultu tuo vesce pane, usque que reverte in terra de quo sumptu es: quia pulvo es et in pulvere reverte.

Et vocavit Adam nomen uxoris suæ, Heva: eo quod mater esset cunctorum viventium.

And Adam called the name of his wife Eve: because she was the mother of all the living.

Et Adamo voca nomine de uxore suo, Heva: eo quod matre es de cunctores vive.

Fecit quoque Dominus Deus Adæ et uxori ejus tunicas pelliceas, et induit eos:

And the Lord God made for Adam and his wife garments of skins, and clothed them.

Domino etiam Deo de Adamo et ad uxore de illo fac tunicas pellicea, et indue illos:

et ait: Ecce Adam quasi unus ex nobis factus est, sciens bonum et malum: nunc ergo ne forte mittat manum suam, et sumat etiam de ligno vitæ, et comedat, et vivat in æternum.

And he said: Behold Adam is become as one of us, knowing good and evil: now therefore lest perhaps he put forth his hand and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever.

Et Adamo: ecce dic quasi uno ex nos facto es, sciente bono et malo: nunc ergo ne forte mitte manu suo, et sume etiam de ligno de vita, et comede, et vive in aeterno.

Et emisit eum Dominus Deus de paradiso voluptatis, ut operaretur terram de qua sumptus est.

And the Lord God sent him out of the paradise of pleasure, to till the earth from which he was taken.

Et Domino Deo emitte illo de paradiso de voluptate, ut de quo sumptu es operor terra.

Ejecitque Adam: et collocavit ante paradisum voluptatis cherubim, et flammeum gladium, atque versatilem, ad custodiendam viam ligni vitæ.

And he cast out Adam: and placed before the paradise of pleasure Cherubims, and a flaming sword, turning every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.

Et Adamo eicie: et colloca ante paradiso de voluptate de cherubes, et flamme gladio, et versatile, ad custodi via de ligno de vita.
