Genesis 3
1 Ndipo njoka inali yochenjera kuposa nyama yakuthengo iliyonse imene Yehova Mulungu anapanga. Njokayo inati kwa mkaziyo, “Kodi Mulungu ananenadi kuti, ‘Inu musadye zipatso za mtengo uliwonse mʼmundamu?’”
Now the serpent was more subtle than any animal of the field which the LORD God had made. He said to the woman, “Has God really said, ‘You shall not eat of any tree of the garden’?”
2 Mkaziyo anati kwa njokayo, “Tikhoza kudya zipatso za mʼmitengo ya mʼmundawu,
The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat fruit from the trees of the garden,
3 koma Mulungu anati, ‘Musadye zipatso za mu mtengo umene uli pakati pa munda, ndipo musadzawukhudze kuti mungadzafe.’”
but not the fruit of the tree which is in the middle of the garden. God has said, ‘You shall not eat of it. You shall not touch it, lest you die.’”
4 “Ndithudi simudzafa,” inatero njokayo kwa mkaziyo.
The serpent said to the woman, “You won’t really die,
5 “Pakuti Mulungu akudziwa kuti tsiku limene mudzadye zipatso za mu mtengowo, maso anu adzatsekuka, ndipo mudzakhala ngati Mulungu, wodziwa zabwino ndi zoyipa.”
for God knows that in the day you eat it, your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”
6 Pamene mkaziyo anaona kuti mtengowo unali wabwino kudya ndi wokongola ndi kuti unali wopatsa nzeru, anatengako zipatso zake nadya. Zina anamupatsako mwamuna wake amene anali naye pomwepo ndipo naye anadyanso.
When the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took some of its fruit, and ate. Then she gave some to her husband with her, and he ate it, too.
7 Kenaka maso awo anatsekuka, ndipo anazindikira kuti anali maliseche. Choncho anasoka masamba a mkuyu nadzipangira zovala.
Their eyes were opened, and they both knew that they were naked. They sewed fig leaves together, and made coverings for themselves.
8 Kenaka munthu uja ndi mkazi wake anamva mtswatswa wa Yehova Mulungu akuyendayenda mʼmundamo madzulo a tsikulo, ndipo iwo anabisala pamaso pa Yehova Mulungu pakati pa mitengo ya mʼmundamo.
They heard the LORD God’s voice walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden.
9 Yehova Mulungu anayitana munthu uja kuti, “Uli kuti?”
The LORD God called to the man, and said to him, “Where are you?”
10 Iye anayankha, “Ndinakumvani mʼmundamo, ndipo ndimaopa chifukwa ndinali maliseche; choncho ndinabisala.”
The man said, “I heard your voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; so I hid myself.”
11 Ndipo anamufunsa, “Ndani anakuwuza kuti uli maliseche? Kodi wadya zipatso za mtengo umene ndinakulamulira kuti usadye?”
God said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?”
12 Koma munthu uja anati, “Mkazi amene munandipatsa kuti ndizikhala nayeyu anandipatsako chipatso cha mtengowo ndipo ndinadya.”
The man said, “The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me fruit from the tree, and I ate it.”
13 Tsono Yehova Mulungu anati kwa mkaziyo, “Wachitachi nʼchiyani?” Mkaziyo anati, “Njoka inandinamiza, ndipo ndinadya.”
The LORD God said to the woman, “What have you done?” The woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”
14 Choncho Yehova Mulungu anati kwa njokayo, “Popeza wachita zimenezi, “Ndiwe wotembereredwa kuposa ziweto zonse ndi nyama zakuthengo zonse. Udzayenda chafufumimba ndipo udzadya fumbi masiku onse a moyo wako.
The LORD God said to the serpent, “Because you have done this, you are cursed above all livestock, and above every animal of the field. You shall go on your belly and you shall eat dust all the days of your life.
15 Ndipo ndidzayika chidani pakati pa iwe ndi mkaziyo, pakati pa mbewu yako ndi mbewu yake; Iye adzaphwanya mutu wako ndipo iwe udzaluma chidendene chake.”
I will put hostility between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring. He will bruise your head, and you will bruise his heel.”
16 Kwa mkaziyo Iye anati, “Ndidzachulukitsa ululu wako kwambiri pamene uli ndi pakati; ndipo udzamva ululu pa nthawi yako yobereka ana. Udzakhumba mwamuna wako, ndipo adzakulamulira.”
To the woman he said, “I will greatly multiply your pain in childbirth. You will bear children in pain. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you.”
17 Ndipo kwa Adamu Mulungu anati, “Chifukwa wamvera mkazi wako ndipo wadya zipatso za mu mtengo umene ndinakulamulira kuti, ‘Usadye.’ “Nthaka yatembereredwa chifukwa cha iwe, movutikira udzadya zochokera mʼnthakamo masiku onse a moyo wako.
To Adam he said, “Because you have listened to your wife’s voice, and have eaten from the tree, about which I commanded you, saying, ‘You shall not eat of it,’ the ground is cursed for your sake. You will eat from it with much labour all the days of your life.
18 Mʼnthakamo mudzamera minga ndi nthula ndipo udzadya zomera zakuthengo.
It will yield thorns and thistles to you; and you will eat the herb of the field.
19 Kuti upeze chakudya udzayenera kukhetsa thukuta, mpaka utabwerera ku nthaka pakuti unachokera kumeneko; pakuti ndiwe fumbi ku fumbi komweko udzabwerera.”
You will eat bread by the sweat of your face until you return to the ground, for you were taken out of it. For you are dust, and you shall return to dust.”
20 Munthu uja anatcha mkazi wake Hava, chifukwa iyeyu adzakhala mayi wa anthu onse amoyo.
The man called his wife Eve because she would be the mother of all the living.
21 Yehova Mulungu anapangira Adamu ndi mkazi wake zovala zachikopa ndipo anawaveka.
The LORD God made garments of animal skins for Adam and for his wife, and clothed them.
22 Ndipo Yehova Mulungu anati, “Tsopano munthu uyu wasanduka mmodzi wa ife, wodziwa zabwino ndi zoyipa. Iyeyu asaloledwe kutambasula dzanja ndi kutengako zipatso za mu mtengo wopatsa moyo uja kuti angakhale ndi moyo mpaka muyaya.”
The LORD God said, “Behold, the man has become like one of us, knowing good and evil. Now, lest he reach out his hand, and also take of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever—”
23 Kotero Yehova Mulungu anatulutsa Adamu Mʼmunda wa Edeni kuti azilima mʼnthaka imene anachokera.
Therefore the LORD God sent him out from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from which he was taken.
24 Atamuthamangitsa munthu uja, Yehova anayika Akerubi mbali ya kummawa kwa Munda wa Edeni ndi lupanga lamoto limene limayendayenda ponsepo, kuteteza njira ya ku mtengo wopatsa moyo.
So he drove out the man; and he placed cherubim at the east of the garden of Eden, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to guard the way to the tree of life.
