3:1
ወለከሰ
But for you He created only one thought, that you might give Him perfect praise while you remained where your Creator had sent you.
但祂只為你造了一樣心思,叫你在造你之主所差你去的地方,向祂獻上完全的讚美。
3:2
ወለአድምሰ፡ ትውህቡ
But to Adam were given five evil thoughts and five good thoughts—ten thoughts in all.
And moreover he has thoughts that move like the waves of the sea, and like a whirlwind that lifts the dust from the earth, and like the waves of the sea that the wind strikes, and like raindrops that cannot be numbered; even so are the thoughts of Adam, out of the multitude of thoughts within his heart that cannot be counted.
But you have only one thought and no other, for you are not of flesh.
但你只有一樣心思,沒有別的,因為你不是屬血肉的。
3:5
ወአንተሰ፡ አማሰንኮ፡ ለዘ
But you dwelt in the heart of the serpent, and with evil cunning you ruined Adam, who was a single body. And Eve heard the words of the serpent, and having heard, she did as she was bidden.
And she came and led astray the first handiwork of God, Adam, by eating of the tree; and she brought death upon herself and upon her children, because she transgressed the commandment of her Creator.
And by the righteous judgment of God they went out from the garden; yet He did not utterly remove them in His contention from the garden, but comforted them in the land to which He sent them—through their children, through the fruit of their womb, and through the fruit of their soil.
And when you had cast them out from the garden in your envy, God gave them green herbs and plants from the trees of the garden, that they might plant and be comforted by the fruit of the garden and by the fruit of the earth that God gave them—
that they might be comforted and greatly renew their hearts in beholding their children, and in beholding the garden, and in the fruit of the earth, which the earth brought forth from the dust; and when they ate of it, they were greatly comforted from the sorrow into which you had cast them when you drove them from the garden.
