Sahih International

So he made them fall, through deception. And when they tasted of the tree, their private parts became apparent to them, and they began to fasten together over themselves from the leaves of Paradise. And their Lord called to them, "Did I not forbid you from that tree and tell you that Satan is to you a clear enemy?"

Muhsin Khan

So he misled them with deception. Then when they tasted of the tree, that which was hidden from them of their shame (private parts) became manifest to them and they began to stick together the leaves of Paradise over themselves (in order to cover their shame). And their Lord called out to them (saying): "Did I not forbid you that tree and tell you: Verily, Shaitan (Satan) is an open enemy unto you?"

Pickthall

Thus did he lead them on with guile. And when they tasted of the tree their shame was manifest to them and they began to hide (by heaping) on themselves some of the leaves of the Garden. And their Lord called them, (saying): Did I not forbid you from that tree and tell you: Lo! Satan is an open enemy to you?

Yusuf Ali

So by deceit he brought about their fall: when they tasted of the tree, their shame became manifest to them, and they began to sew together the leaves of the garden over their bodies. And their Lord called unto them: "Did I not forbid you that tree, and tell you that Satan was an avowed enemy unto you?"

Shakir

Then he caused them to fall by deceit; so when they tasted of the tree, their evil inclinations became manifest to them, and they both began to cover themselves with the leaves of the garden; and their Lord called out to them: Did I not forbid you both from that tree and say to you that the Shaitan is your open enemy?

Dr. Ghali

So he misled them both by delusion; (Or: caused their fall) then, as soon as they (both) tasted the tree, their shameful parts appeared to them, and they took to splicing upon themselves (some of) the leaves of the Garden. And their Lord called out to them, "Did I not forbid you from that tree and say to you both, surely Satan is for you both an evident enemy?"

Så forførte han dem ved svik. Da de hadde smakt på treet, stod deres nakenhet klart for dem, og de tok og festet på seg av havens løv. Men Herren ropte til dem: «Har Jeg ikke forbudt dere dette tre? Har Jeg ikke sagt at Satan er en klar fiende for dere?»

Swedish

Så bedrog han dem med sitt listiga tal. Och när de hade smakat av trädets [frukt] blev de medvetna om sin nakenhet och försökte skyla sig med blad från lustgården som de fäste ihop. Men då kallade deras Herre på dem: "Har Jag inte förbjudit er [att gå nära] detta träd och varnat er att Djävulen är er svurne fiende?"
