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.
Now the serpent was more subtle than any of the beasts of the earth which the Lord God had made. And he said to the woman: Why hath God commanded you, that you should not eat of every tree of paradise?
2 Napui ni tahrun koevah, takha dawk kaawm e thingpawnaw teh na ca thai.
And the woman answered him, saying: Of the fruit of the trees that are in paradise we do 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.
But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of paradise, God hath commanded us that we should not eat; and that we should not touch it, lest perhaps we die.
4 Tahrun ni napui koe, khoeroe na dout mahoeh.
And the serpent said to the woman: No, you shall not die the 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 doth know that in what day soever you shall eat thereof, your eyes shall be opened: and you shall be as 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 the woman saw that the tree was good to eat, and fair to the eyes, and delightful to behold: and she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave to her husband who did eat.
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 perceived themselves to be naked, they sewed together fig leaves, and made themselves aprons.
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 heard the voice of the Lord God walking in paradise at the afternoon air, Adam and his wife hid themselves from the face of the Lord God, amidst 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 art thou?
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 thy voice in paradise; and I was afraid, because I was naked, and 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.
And he said to him: And who hath told thee that thou wast naked, but that thou hast eaten of the tree whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldst 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 thou gavest me to be my companion, gave me of the tree, and I did eat.
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 hast thou done this? And she answered: The serpent deceived me, and I did eat.
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 thou hast done this thing, thou art cursed among all cattle, and beasts of the earth: upon thy breast shalt thou go, and earth shalt thou eat all the days of thy 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 thee and the woman, and thy seed and her seed: she shall crush thy head, and thou shalt 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 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.
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.
And to Adam he said: Because thou hast hearkened to the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldst not eat, cursed is the earth in thy work; with labour and toil shalt thou eat thereof all the days of thy life.
18 Pâkhingnaw hoi pâkhingkungnaw ka pâw sak vaiteh, law dawk hoi ka tâcawt e apawhik na ca han.
Thorns and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herbs 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.
In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread till thou return to the earth, out of which thou wast taken: for dust thou art, and into dust thou shalt 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.
And the Lord God made for Adam and his wife, garments of skins, and 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 is become as one of us, knowing good and evil: now, therefore, lest perhaps he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever.
23 Hatdawkvah, BAWIPA Cathut ni tami teh ama a tâconae talai dawk thaw tawk hanelah Eden takha thung hoi a pâlei.
And the Lord God sent him out of the paradise of pleasure, to till 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 placed before the paradise of pleasure Cherubims, and a flaming sword, turning every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.
