![Image](https://api.unfoldingword.org/obs/jpg/1/en/360px/obs-en-02-11.jpg)

__God__ said to the man, “You listened to your wife and __disobeyed__ me. Now the __ground is cursed__, and you will need to work hard to grow food. Then __you will die__, and your body will __return to dirt__.” The man named his wife __Eve__, __which means__ “__life-giver__,” because she would become the __mother of all people__. And God clothed __Adam__ and Eve with animal skins. 

神对那人说:「你听从了妻子的话，违背了我。地因此受诅咒，你必劳苦工作才能从地里得吃的。你将死亡，你的身体要归于灰土。」那人给自己的妻子起名叫夏娃，意即「生命，」因为她将成为众生的母亲。

### Translation Notes: ###

* __ground is cursed__ - As punishment for Adam's disobedience, the earth would no longer be fruitful. Adam would have to work very hard to raise enough food to eat.

* __return to dirt__ - God created Adam from the dirt or soil and gave him life. As a result of sin, his life will be taken from him and his body will decompose and become dirt again.
* __Eve, which means 'life-giver'__ - God gave life to Adam and Eve, and it is passed on to every person through childbirth.
* __mother of all people__ - This means that she would be the female ancestor of all people. Some languages say "she would be the grandmother of all people."
