Genesis 3
1 Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which Jehovah God had made. And he said to the woman, Yea, has God said, Ye shall not eat of any tree of the garden?
Da nye lã si dze aye wu lã bubu siwo katã Yehowa Mawu wɔ la. Da va nyɔnu la gbɔ, eye wòbiae be, “Ɖe wònye nyateƒe be Mawu de se na mi be migaɖu ati siwo katã le abɔa me la dometɔ aɖeke ƒe tsetsea oa?”
2 And the woman said to the serpent, Of the fruit of the trees of the garden we may eat,
Nyɔnu la gblɔ na da la be, “Míate ŋu aɖu ati ɖe sia ɖe si le abɔ sia me la ƒe tsetse,
3 but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God has said, Ye shall not eat of it, nor shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
gake Mawu gblɔ be, ‘Migaɖu ati si le abɔ la titina ƒe tsetse o, migaka asi eŋu hã o, ne menye nenema o la, miaku.’”
4 And the serpent said to the woman, Ye shall not surely die.
Da la gblɔ be, “Miele kuku ge akpɔ o!
5 For God knows that in the day ye eat of it, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
Mawu nya nyuie be ne mieɖui ko la, miazu abe ye ene, elabena miaƒe ŋkuwo aʋu, eye mianya nyui kple vɔ̃.”
6 And 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 wise, she took of the fruit of it, and ate. And she also gave to her husband with her, and he ate.
Esi nyɔnu la kpɔ be ati la ƒe tsetse nyo na ɖuɖu, eye wònya kpɔ, eye wònana wodzea nunya la, egbe ɖe ɖu. Ena ɖe srɔ̃a si le egbɔ la hã wòɖu.
7 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked. And they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.
Esi woɖu kutsetsea ko la, wodze sii enumake be yewole amama, eye ŋu de asi wo kpekpe me. Ale wotɔ aŋgbawo hesa ɖe ali.
8 And they heard the voice of Jehovah God walking in the garden in the cool of the day. And the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of Jehovah God amongst the trees of the garden.
Gbe ma gbe ƒe ɣetrɔ la, amea kple srɔ̃a se Yehowa Mawu ŋkɔ wònɔ tsa ɖim le abɔ la me. Ale woɣla wo ɖokuiwo ɖe atiawo dome.
9 And Jehovah God called to the man, and said to him, Where are thou?
Yehowa Mawu yɔ amea, eye wòbiae bena, “Afi ka nèle?”
10 And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked. And I hid myself.
Adam ɖo eŋu be, “Mese ŋkɔwò nègbɔna, vɔvɔ̃ ɖom, eye nyemedi be nàkpɔm manɔ amama o, eya ta meɣla ɖokuinye.”
11 And he said, Who told thee that thou was naked? Have thou eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee that thou should not eat?
Mawu biae be, “Ame kae gblɔ na wò be èle amama? Ɖe nèɖu ati si ŋu mede se na mi le la ƒe tsetsea?”
12 And the man said, The woman whom thou gave to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I ate.
Amea ɖo eŋu be, “Ɛ̃, nyɔnu si nèwɔ nam lae na kutsetsea ƒe ɖem meɖu.”
13 And Jehovah God said to the woman, What is this thou have done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I ate.
Yehowa Mawu bia nyɔnu la be, “Nu ka ta nèwɔ nu sia ɖo?” Nyɔnu la ɖo eŋu be, “Da lae blem.”
14 And Jehovah God said to the serpent, Because thou have done this, cursed are thou above all cattle, and above every beast of the field. Upon thy belly thou shall go, and dust thou shall eat all the days of thy life.
Eya ta Yehowa Mawu gblɔ na da la be, “Ɖe nu si nèwɔ ta la, “Maƒo fi ade wò ɖeka le aƒemelã kple gbemelã siwo katã le anyigba dzi la dome! Wò ƒodo dzi nàzɔ eye ʋuʋudedi anye wò nuɖuɖu le wò agbemeŋkekewo katã me.
15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed. He shall bruise thy head, and thou shall bruise his heel.
Tso azɔ dzi la, made fuléle wò kple nyɔnu la dome, eye fuléle ma ke anɔ wò dzidzime kple nyɔnu la tɔ dome. Eya la agbã ta na wò, eye wò la àɖu afɔkpodzi nɛ.”
16 To the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy pain and thy childbearing, in pain thou shall bring forth children. And thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.
Mawu gblɔ na nyɔnu la be, “Àdzi vi le fukpekpe kple vevesese geɖe me, gake srɔ̃wò ƒe nu aganyo ŋuwò kokoko, eye srɔ̃wò anye aƒetɔ na wò.”
17 And to Adam he said, Because thou have hearkened to the voice of thy wife, and have eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shall not eat of it, cursed is the ground for thy sake. In toil thou shall eat of it all the days of thy life.
Mawu gblɔ na Adam be, “Esi nèɖo to srɔ̃wò, eye nèɖu kutsetse si ŋu mede se na mi le ta la, meƒo fi de anyigba ɖe tawò. “Le wò agbemeŋkekewo katã me la, àku kutri be yeakpɔ nuɖuɖu tso anyigba me.
18 Also, thorns and thistles it shall bring forth to thee, and thou shall eat the herb of the field.
Anyigba ana ŋuwo kple aŋɔkawo namie na wò, eye nàɖu woƒe gbewo.
19 In the sweat of thy face thou shall eat bread, till thou return to the ground, for out of it thou were taken. For thou are dust, and to dust thou shall return.
Àdze agbagba le wò agbemeŋkekewo katã me hafi akpɔ abolo aɖu va se ɖe esime nàku. Agatrɔ azu anyi, nu si wotsɔ wɔ wòe la; elabena anyi wotsɔ wɔ wòe, eye anyi ke nàgatrɔ azu.”
20 And the man called his wife's name Eve, because she was the mother of all living.
Ŋutsu la na ŋkɔ srɔ̃a be Eva si gɔmee nye “Agbenala,” elabena egblɔ be, “Eyae azu amegbetɔƒome blibo la dzila.”
21 And Jehovah God made for Adam and for his wife coats of skins, and clothed them.
Yehowa Mawu wɔ lãgbalẽwu do na Adam kple srɔ̃a.
22 And Jehovah God said, Behold, the man has become as one of us, to know good and evil, and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever-
Yehowa Mawu gblɔ be, “Esi ame la zu abe míawo ene, eye wònya nyui kple vɔ̃ la, nya kae adzɔ ne aɖu agbeti la, eye wòanɔ agbe tegbetegbe?”
23 therefore Jehovah God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from where he was taken.
Esia ta Yehowa Mawu nyae ɖa tso Edenbɔ la me, eye wòɖoe ɖa be wòayi aɖade agble ɖe anyigba si me woɖee tsoe la dzi.
24 So he drove out the man. And he placed at the east of the garden of Eden the cherubim, and the flame of a sword which turned every way, to guard the way of the tree of life.
Ale Mawu nya ame la, eye wòtsɔ mawudɔla sesẽ siwo wòde yi dadzowo asi na la da ɖe Edenbɔ la ƒe ɣedzeƒe lɔƒo be woadzɔ mɔ woato aɖo ta agbeti la gbɔ la nu.
