1 WaHaNachash (And now the serpent) YaHayah (was) Irawam (more cunning / crafty) MaKal (than all) Chayath (the living creatures) HaShadah (of the field / open country) AsharaYaIshah (that had made) Yahawah () Alahayam (God). WaYaAmar (And he said) Al-HaAyashah (to the woman):< Ap (indeed) Kay-YaAmar (surely did say) Alahayam (God),< Laa (do NOT) ThaAkalaw (eat) MaKal (from every) Itz (tree) HaGan (of the Garden)?>>

2 WaThaAmar (And said) HaAyashah (the woman) Al-HaNachash (to the serpent):< MaParay (From the fruit of the) Itz (trees) HaGan (of the Garden) NaAkal (we may eat),

3 WaMaParay (But from the fruit) HaItz (of the tree) AsharaBaThawak (that is in the midst) AsharaBaThawak (who/that in midst) HaGan (of the Garden), YaAmar (said) Alahayam (God):< Laa (do NOT) ThaAkalaw (you eat) Manamanaw (from it) WaLaa (and do NOT) ThaNagaiw (you touch) Baw (it), Pan-ThaMawathawan (or you face death - emphatic).>>

4 WaYaAmar (And said) HaNachash (The serpent) Al-HaAyashah (to the woman), “Laa (You will NOT) Mawath (die) ThaMawathawan (certain death - emphatic),

5 KayaYadai (Surely knows) Alahayam (God) KayaBaYawam (that surely in the day) Akalakam (you eat), Manamaw (from it) WaNaPaqachaw (and will be opened - emphatic) Iyanayakam (your eyes) WaHayahayatham (and you will become) KaAlahayam (like God), Yadaiy (having knowledge/understanding) Tawab (of good/pleasant/functional things) WaRai (and evil / displeasing / dysfunctional things).”

6 WaThaRaah (And saw) HaAyashah (the woman) KayaTawab (surely good / pleasant) HaItz (the tree) LaMaakal (is for food), WaKayaThaawah (and surely the desire) Hawaa (that is) LaIyanayam (for the eyes), WaNaChamad (and it was coveted - emphatically) HaItz (that the tree) LaHaShakayal (could make her wise), WaThaLaqach (and so she took) MaParayaw (from its fruit), WaThaAkal (and she ate); WaThaNathan (and then she gave) Gam (indeed / moreover) LaAyashah (to her man / husband) Imah (with her), WaYaAkal (and he ate).

7 WaThaPaqachanah (And were opened), Iyanay (the eyes) Shanayamam (of both of them) WaYaYadaiw (and they knew) KayaIyaramam (surely naked) Ham (they were). WaYaThaparaw (And so they sewed) Ilah (a leaf) Thaanah (of the fig tree) WaYaIshahaw (and made) Lam (for themselves) Chagawarath (loin coverings).

8 WaYaShamaiw (And they heard) Ath-Qawal (the entirety of the sound of) Yahawah () Alahayam (God) MaThaHalak (moving) BaGan (in the garden) LaRawach (in the spirit) HaYawam (of the day), WaYaThaChabaa (and hid themselves) HaAdam (the man) WaAyashahathaw (and his woman) MaPanayam (from the face of) Yahawah () Alahayam (God) BaThawak (in midst of) Itz (the trees) HaGan (of the garden).

9 WaYaQaraa (And called) Yahawah () Alahayam (God) Al-HaAdam (to the man), WaYaAmar (and said) Law (to him):< Ayakah (Where are you)?>

10 WaYaAmar (And he said), “Ath-Qawalak (the entirety of your sound) Shamaithay (I heard) BaGan (in the garden), WaAYaraa (and I was afraid), Kay-Iyaram (surely nakedness) Anakay (was on me) WaAChabaa (and so I hid).”

11 WaYaAmar (And he said): “May (who) YaHaNagayad (informed) Lak (you of your) KayaIyaram (sure nakedness)? Athah (Did you) HaMan-HaItz (from the tree) AsharaTzawahayathayak (which that I commanded you) LaBalathayaAkal (NOT to eat) Manamanaw (from it), Akalath (did you eat)?”

12 WaYaAmar (And said) HaAdam (the man), “HaAyashah (The woman) AsharaNathanathah (who You gave) AsharaNathanathah (who/that give) Imaday (to be with me), Hawaa (it is) Nathanah (her that gave) Lay (to me) Man-HaItz (from the tree), WaAAkal (and I ate).”

13 WaYaAmar (And said) Yahawah () Alahayam (God) LaAyashah (to the woman): “Mah (what) Zaath (is this) Ishahayath (that you have done)?” WaThaAmar (and said) HaAyashah (the woman) “HaNachash (The serpent) HaNashayaay (deceived me), WaAAkal (and I ate).”

14 WaYaAmar (And then said) Yahawah () Alahayam (God) Al-HaNachash (to the serpent): “KayaIshahayath (surely you have done) Zaath (this). Arawar (Cursed) Athah (be you) MaKal (of all) HaBahamah (the beasts), WaMaKal (and from all) Chayath (the living creatures) HaShadah (of the field / open country). Il-Gachawanak (on your belly) ThaYalak (you will move), WaIpar (and dust) ThaAkal (you will eat)— Kal (every) Yawamay (day of) Chayayak (your life).

15 WaAyabah (And enmity / hate) AShayath (I put) Bayanak (between you) WaBayanaHaAyashah (and between the woman), WaBayanaZaraik (and between your seed / offspring) WaBayanaZaraih (and between her offspring). Hawaa (This is who) YaShawapak (will crush / overwhelm your) Raash (head), WaAthah (and you) ThaShawapaw (and you will bruise his) Iqab (heel).”

16 Al-HaAyashah (To the woman) YaAmar (He said): “HaRabah (causing multiplication) ARabah (I multiply) Itzabawanak (your toil) WaHarawanak (and child birth for you). BaItzab (In pain) ThaYaladay (you will birth) Banayam (children). WaAl-Ayashak (and to your husband) Thashawaqahathak (will be your desire) WaHawaa (and he is who) YaMashal (will rule / have dominion) Bak (within you).”

17 WaLaAdam (And to Adam) YaAmar (He said), “Kay-Shamaith (surely you hearkened / listened) LaQawal (to the voice) Ayashahathak (of your woman) WaThaAkal (and you ate) Man-HaItz (from the tree) AsharaTzawahayathayak (that I commanded you), LaAmar (saying),< Laa (do NOT) ThaAkal (you eat) Manamanaw (from it),> Arawarah (cursed) HaAdamah (the ground will be) BaIbawarak (because of you). BaItzabawan (In toil) ThaAkalah (you will eat from it) Kal (every) Yawamay (day of) Chayayak (your life).

18 WaQawatz (And thorns) WaDaradar (and thistles) ThaTzamayach (will sprout / spring forth) Lak (for you); WaAkalath (and you will eat) Ath-Ishab (the entirety of the plants) HaShadah (of the field).

19 BaZaihath (By the sweat) Apayak (of your nose) ThaAkal (will you eat) Lacham (bread) IdaShawabak (until until you return) Al-HaAdamah (to the ground). KayaManamah (Surely from her) Laqachath (you were taken) Kay (surely) Kay (surely) Manamah (from her). Ipar (dust) Athah (you are), WaAl-Ipar (and to dust) ThaShawab (you will return).”

20 WaYaQaraa (And called) HaAdam (the man) Sham (the name) Ayashahathaw (of his wife) "Chawah (Eve)"— KayaHawaa (For surely, this is who) KayaHawaa (surely which/who/that is) Hayahathah (became) Am (mother) Kal (of all) Chay (the living).

21 WaYaIshah (And then made) Yahawah () Alahayam (God) LaAdam (for the man) WaLaAyashahathaw (and for his woman), Kathanathawath (garments / robes - plural) Iwar (of skin) WaYaLabasham (and He clothed / covered them).

22 WaYaAmar (And said), Yahawah () Alahayam (God) “Han (behold), HaAdam (the man) YaHayah (has become) KaAchad (like one) Manamanaw (of us), LaYadaith (having knowledge of) Tawab (good/functional things) WaRai (and evil/dysfunctional things). WaIthah (And now), Pan-YaShalach (or else he reach out) Yadaw (his hand), WaYaLaqach (and take) Gam (also) MaItz (from the tree) HaChayayam (of Life) WaYaAkal (and he eat), WaYaChayay (and live) LaIwalam (for eternity)...”

23 WaYaShalachaw (And so they were sent out by) Yahawah () Alahayam (God) MaGan (from the garden of) Idan (Eden), LaIbad (to till / serve) Ath-HaAdamah (the entirety of the ground) AsharaYaLaqach (which he was taken) AsharaYaLaqach (who/that take / seize) MaSham (from there).

24 WaYaGarash (And so He drove out) Ath-HaAdam (the entirety of the man); WaYaShakan (and he was placed) MaQadam (to the east) LaGan (of the garden) Idan (of Eden). Ath-HaKarawabayam (the entirety of the cherubim / angelic beings - plural) WaAthaLahat (and the entirety of the flaming) HaCharab (the sword) HaMaThaHapakath (that transforms / overthrows) LaShamar (to keep / guard) Ath (and the entirety of) Lahat (Flaming) Ath-Darak (the entirety of the way) Ath (the entirety of) Darak (way/path) Itz (to the tree) HaChayayam (of Life).
