1 To thuol ne riek moloyo le duto mag bungu mane Jehova Nyasaye ochweyo. Omiyo nopenjo dhako niya, “Bende en adier ni Nyasaye nowacho ni, ‘Kik ucham olemb yien moro amora manie puodho?’”
The serpent was more cunning than any of the other wild animals that the Lord God had made. He asked Eve, “Did God really say that you can't eat fruit from every tree in the garden?”
2 Dhako nodwoko thuol niya, “Wanyalo chamo olembe mag yiende manie puodho duto,
Eve replied to the serpent, “We can eat from the trees in the garden, but not the fruit from the tree in the middle of the garden.
3 makmana Nyasaye nosiemowa ni, ‘Kik ucham olemo mar yien man e dier puodhono, kendo kik umule nono to ubiro tho.’”
God told us, ‘You mustn't eat from that tree, or even touch it, otherwise you'll die.’”
4 Thuol nowacho ne dhako niya, “Adier ok unutho.
“You certainly won't die,” the serpent told Eve.
5 Nikech Nyasaye ongʼeyo ni sa ma unuchame wengeu noyepi kendo unubed machal gi Nyasaye, kungʼeyo ber gi rach.”
“It's because God knows that as soon as you eat it, you'll see things differently, and you'll be like God, knowing both what is good and what is evil.”
6 Kane dhako oneno ni olemb yien-no ne ber kuom chiemo kendo moro wangʼ kendo nyalo miyo ibed gi rieko, nokawo moko mochamo, to bangʼe nomiyo chwore ma en bende nochame.
Eve saw that the fruit of the tree appeared good to eat. It looked very attractive. She really wanted it so she could become wise. So she took some of its fruit and ate it, and she gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it too.
7 Eka wengegi noyepo kendo negifwenyo ni gin duge; kuom mano negikawo it ngʼowu kendo giumogo dugegi.
Immediately they saw everything differently and realized they were naked. So they sewed fig leaves together to cover themselves up.
8 Eka Adam kod chiege nowinjo dwond Jehova Nyasaye kawuotho e puodho e seche mag angʼich welo kendo ne gipondo ne Jehova Nyasaye e kind yiende manie puodho.
Later they heard the Lord walking in the garden in the evening when the breeze was blowing. Adam and Eve went and hid out of sight of the Lord God among the trees of the garden.
9 To Jehova Nyasaye noluongo Adam mopenje niya, “In kanye?”
The Lord God called out to Adam, “Where are you?”
10 Nodwoko niya, “Ne awinji e puodho kendo luoro nomaka nikech ne an duk, koro ne apondo.”
“I heard you walking in the garden and I was afraid because I was naked, so I hid,” he replied.
11 Kendo Jehova Nyasaye nowachone niya, “En ngʼa manonyisi ni in duk? Dibed ni isechamo olemb yien mane akweri ni kik icham?”
“Who told you that you were naked?” asked the Lord God. “Did you eat fruit from the tree I ordered you not to?”
12 Adam nodwoke niya, “Dhako mane imiya ema nomiya olemo moko moa e yien-no kendo achamo.”
“It was the woman you gave me who gave me the fruit from the tree, and I ate it,” Adam replied.
13 Eka Jehova Nyasaye nopenjo dhako niya, “Ma en angʼo ma isetimo?” Dhako nodwoke niya, “Thuol nowuonda, mi achamo olemo.”
The Lord God asked Eve, “Why have you done this?” “The serpent tricked me, and so I ate it,” she replied.
14 Kuom mano Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne thuol niya, “Nikech isetimo ma, “Okwongʼi moloyo le duto kendo gige buya duto! Ibiro lak gi bund iyi kendo ibiro chamo buru, ndalo duto mag ngimani.
Then the Lord God told the serpent, “Because of what you've done, you are cursed more than any of the other animals. You will slide along on your belly and eat dust as long as you live.
15 Kendo anaket sigu e kindi gi dhako, kendo e kind kothe gi kothi; en noto wiyi, to in to nika ofunj tiende.”
I will make sure you and your children, and the woman and her children, are enemies. One of her children will crush your head, and you will strike his heel.”
16 Dhako to ne owachone niya, “Anamedni rem malich e kindeni mag nywol; adier ininywol nyithindo gi rem. Dwaroni nobed mana kuom chwori bende enobed gi teko kuomi.”
He told Eve, “I will make pregnancy much more difficult, and giving birth will be very painful. However, you will still desire your husband, but he will have control over you.”
17 To Adam to ne owachone niya, “Nikech ne iwinjo chiegi kendo ichamo olemb yath mane akweri ni, ‘Kik icham olembe,’ “Okwongʼ lowo nikech in, kuom tich matek, ibiro chiemo koa kuom lowo, ndalo duto mag ngimani.
He told Adam, “Because you did what your wife told you, and ate fruit from the tree after I ordered you, ‘Don't eat fruit from this tree,’ the ground is now cursed because of you. You will have to work painfully hard to grow food from it throughout your whole life.
18 Enonyagni kit kuthe mopogore opogore kendo ibiro chamo alode manie thim.
It will grow thorns and thistles for you, and you will have to eat wild plants.
19 Inicham chiembi mana kuom luchi, nyaka idog e lowo nikech kanyo ema ne ogolie, nimar in lowo kendo lowo ema nidogie.”
You will have to sweat to grow enough food to eat until you die and return to the ground. For you were made from dust and you will return to dust.”
20 Adam nochako chiege ni Hawa nikech nobiro bedo min ji duto.
Adam named his wife Eve, because she was to be the mother of all human beings.
21 Jehova Nyasaye noloso lewni mag pien ne Adam kod chiege kendo noumogi.
The Lord God made Adam and Eve clothes from animal skins and dressed them.
22 Kendo Jehova Nyasaye nowacho niya, “Dhano koro osebedo machal kodwa, kongʼeyo ber kod rach. Kik yiene mondo oter lwete kendo okaw olemb ngima kendo ocham madimi odag nyaka chiengʼ.”
Then the Lord God observed, “Look, the human beings have become like one of us, knowing both what is good and what is evil. Now if they take the fruit from the tree of life and eat it, then they'll live forever!”
23 Omiyo Jehova Nyasaye noriembe e Puodho mar Eden mondo opur lowo kamane ogole.
So the Lord God expelled them from the Garden of Eden. He sent Adam to cultivate the ground from which he'd been made.
24 Bangʼ kane oseriembo Adam oko, ne oketo kerubi gi ligangla mamil koni gi koni yo wuok chiengʼ mar Puodho Mar Eden mondo orit yo mochomo yadh ngima.
After he drove them out, the Lord God placed on the east side of the Garden of Eden angels and a sword that flashed in every direction. They were to prevent access to the tree of life.
