Here is the beginning and end of it:
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.)
(Genesis 3:16)
Response: “It is mistranslated. “sorrow” is better translated as “with physical pain”. “shall be under thy husband’s power” is better translated as “your husband will [want to] dominate you [whether you like it or not]”. “shall have dominion over thee” is better rendered as “he shall lord it over you” or “he shall dominate you [by force] regardless of your desires”. All these are mere statements of fact. The real punishment is contained in the next verse: “yet your longing shall be for your husband”, i.e. “and you’ll love him for being such a jerk and want to have babies with him even though it hurts, ‘cause that’s how I made you”. “
Interesting, is’t it?
Ooops - I failed to make it clear, we were not arguing the latin/english translation.
It was the Hebrew/latin that was in doubt.
You could have read the NIV version and saved some time.
To the woman he said,
“I will greatly increase your pains in childbearing;
with pain you will give birth to children.
Your desire will be for your husband,
and he will rule over you.”
Genesis 3:16 (NIV)
