Kamtawngnae 3
1 BAWIPA ni a sak e moithang pueng hlak tahrun teh huenghai kaawm poung e lah ao dawkvah, napui koe nangmouh roi ni takha dawk e thingpaw pueng cat hanh telah Cathut ni ati katang maw telah a pacei.
However, the serpent was more crafty than any of the creatures of the earth that the Lord God had made. And he said to the woman, “Why has God instructed you, that you should not eat from every tree of Paradise?”
2 Napui ni tahrun koevah, takha dawk kaawm e thingpawnaw teh na ca thai.
The woman responded to him: “From the fruit of the trees which are in Paradise, we eat.
3 Hatei, takha lungui kaawm e thingpaw teh na cat mahoeh. Tek hai na tek mahoeh. Hoehpawiteh, na due han telah Cathut ni ati telah atipouh.
Yet truly, from the fruit of the tree which is in the middle of Paradise, God has instructed us that we should not eat, and that we should not touch it, lest perhaps we may die.”
4 Tahrun ni napui koe, khoeroe na dout mahoeh.
Then the serpent said to the woman: “By no means will you die a death.
5 Bangkongtetpawiteh, a paw na ca hnin vah, na mit ang roi vaiteh, thoe hoi hawi na panue roi han. Cathut boiboe lah na o roi han tie ama Cathut ni a panue dawk doeh telah atipouh.
For God knows that, on whatever day you will eat from it, your eyes will be opened; and you will be like gods, knowing good and evil.”
6 Hote thingkung teh cakawi kahawi e lah, mitkhet kantang e lah, tami lungkaangsakkung a paw lah a hmu dawkvah, a la teh a ca. Hahoi ateng kaawm e a vâ hai a poe teh a ca.
And so the woman saw that the tree was good to eat, and beautiful to the eyes, and delightful to consider. And she took from its fruit, and she ate. And she gave to her husband, who ate.
7 Hathnukkhu, ahnimouh roi teh, a mit ang roi toung dawkvah, caici lah ao roi e hah a kâpanue roi. Hatdawkvah, thai hna a khui roi teh, a khohna roi.
And the eyes of them both were opened. And when they realized themselves to be naked, they joined together fig leaves and made coverings for themselves.
8 Hot hnin tangmin lah, takha dawk BAWIPA Cathut a tho e pawlawk ahnimouh roi yuvâ ni a thai navah, BAWIPA Cathut e hmaitung hoi hlout nahanelah takha thung e thingkung rahak a kâhro roi.
And when they had heard the voice of the Lord God taking a walk in Paradise in the afternoon breeze, Adam and his wife hid themselves from the face of the Lord God in the midst of the trees of Paradise.
9 Hatei, BAWIPA Cathut ni Adam a kaw teh, nâmaw na o atipouh.
And the Lord God called Adam and said to him: “Where are you?”
10 Tongpa ni, takha thung na lawk ka thai teh, caici lah ka o dawk ka taki teh ka kâhro telah atipouh.
And he said, “I heard your voice in Paradise, and I was afraid, because I was naked, and so I hid myself.”
11 BAWIPA ni, apinimaw nang caici lah na o e hah a dei. Cat hanh ka tie thingpaw hah na ca toung maw telah a pacei.
He said to him, “Then who told you that you were naked, if you have not eaten of the tree from which I instructed you that you should not eat?”
12 Tongpa ni nang ni na poe e napui ni thingpaw na poe teh ka ca atipouh.
And Adam said, “The woman, whom you gave to me as a companion, gave to me from the tree, and I ate.”
13 BAWIPA Cathut ni, napui koevah, hete hno heh bangkong maw na sak telah a pacei navah, napui ni, tahrun ni na dum teh ka ca telah atipouh.
And the Lord God said to the woman, “Why have you done this?” And she responded, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”
14 BAWIPA Cathut ni tahrun koevah, hete hno na sak dawkvah, saring hoi moithang pueng hlakvah, thoebo lah na o han. Na vonpui hoi na thawn vaiteh, na hring nathung vaiphu na ca han.
And the Lord God said to the serpent: “Because you have done this, you are cursed among all living things, even the wild beasts of the earth. Upon your breast shall you travel, and the ground shall you eat, all the days of your life.
15 Nang hoi napui rahak, nang e catoun hoi napui e catoun rahak kai ni kâtarannae ka hruek han. Ahni ni na lû a phawm vaiteh, nang ni ahnie a khokpaimai na phawm pouh han telah atipouh.
I will put enmities between you and the woman, between your offspring and her offspring. She will crush your head, and you will lie in wait for her heel.”
16 Napui koevah, camo na vawn navah patawnae ka pung sak vaiteh, na khe nah patawnae na khang han. Na ngainae teh na vâ hanelah ao vaiteh, na vâ ni na uk han.
To the woman, he also said: “I will multiply your labors and your conceptions. In pain shall you give birth to sons, and you shall be under your husband’s power, and he shall have dominion over you.”
17 Adam koevah, na yu e lawk na tarawi teh, cat hanh telah kai ni kâ na poe e thingpaw na ca dawkvah, talai teh nang kecu dawk thoebo lah ao. Tha pataw laihoi na hringyung thung na tawk vaiteh, na ca han.
Yet truly, to Adam, he said: “Because you have listened to the voice of your wife, and have eaten of the tree, from which I instructed you that you should not eat, cursed is the land that you work. In hardship shall you eat from it, all the days of your life.
18 Pâkhingnaw hoi pâkhingkungnaw ka pâw sak vaiteh, law dawk hoi ka tâcawt e apawhik na ca han.
Thorns and thistles shall it produce for you, and you shall eat the plants of the earth.
19 Na tâconae talai lah bout na ban hoehroukrak, na minhmai dawk hoi lahuntui tâco laihoi na ca han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, nang teh vaiphu e lah na o dawkvah, vaiphu lah bout na ban han telah atipouh.
By the sweat of your face shall you eat bread, until you return to the earth from which you were taken. For dust you are, and unto dust you shall return.”
20 Hahoi, Adam ni amae yu hah Evi telah min a phung. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ahni teh kahring pueng e a manu lah ao dawk doeh.
And Adam called the name of his wife, ‘Eve,’ because she was the mother of all the living.
21 BAWIPA Cathut ni Adam hoi a yu hanlah phaivuen angkidung a sak pouh teh, a khohna sak.
The Lord God also made for Adam and his wife garments from skins, and he clothed them.
22 Hahoi, BAWIPA Cathut ni tami teh, maimouh thung dawk e buetbuet touh hoi a kâvan toung dawkvah, thoe hoi hawi a panue toe. Atuteh, yungyoe hringnae coe hanelah a kut a kâyap vaiteh hringnae thingpaw khi vaiteh, a cakawi nahoeh toe telah ati.
And he said: “Behold, Adam has become like one of us, knowing good and evil. Therefore, now perhaps he may put forth his hand and also take from the tree of life, and eat, and live in eternity.”
23 Hatdawkvah, BAWIPA Cathut ni tami teh ama a tâconae talai dawk thaw tawk hanelah Eden takha thung hoi a pâlei.
And so the Lord God sent him away from the Paradise of enjoyment, in order to work the earth from which he was taken.
24 Hottelah, tami hah a pâlei hnukkhu, avoivang kamrit thai e tahloi hoi Cherubim hah, hringnae thingkung lamthung ka ring hanelah, Eden takha kanîtholah a hruek.
And he cast out Adam. And in front of the Paradise of enjoyment, he placed the Cherubim with a flaming sword, turning together, to guard the way to the tree of life.
