It doesn't sound much like the original does it, then what the heck it's just a story.
Do you take the garden of Eden story literally? Is not apple and fruit synonymous in the symbolical sense? Serpent and snake?

Nainen näki nyt, että puun hedelmät olivat hyviä syödä ja että se oli kaunis katsella ja houkutteleva, koska se antoi ymmärrystä.
Ooh, look a snake! Ooh, understanding!
Bibeln Wrote:Ormen var listigast av alla vilda djur som Herren Gud hade gjort.

Kvinnan såg att trädet var gott att äta av: det var en fröjd för ögat och ett härligt träd, eftersom det skänkte vishet.
Ooh! Another snake! Ooh, wisdom!
But right, other translations aren't good enough for GC, because his god cares about the language you read in.
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
