< Genesis 3 >
1 Now the serpent was more crafty than any beast of the field that the LORD God had made. And he said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden?’”
Agwọ dị aghụghọ karịa ụmụ anụ ọhịa niile Onyenwe anyị Chineke kere. Ọ bịakwutere nwanyị ahụ sị ya, “Ọ bụ ezie na Chineke sị unu erila mkpụrụ si nʼosisi niile dị nʼogige a?”
2 The woman answered the serpent, “We may eat the fruit of the trees of the garden,
Nwanyị ahụ zara sị ya, “Anyị nwere ike rie mkpụrụ si nʼosisi niile dị nʼogige a
3 but about the fruit of the tree in the middle of the garden, God has said, ‘You must not eat of it or touch it, or you will die.’”
ma Chineke kwuru sị, ‘Unu erila mkpụrụ si nʼosisi dị nʼetiti ogige a, unu emetụkwala ya aka, ka unu ghara ịnwụ.’”
4 “You will not surely die,” the serpent told her.
Agwọ gwara nwanyị ahụ sị, “Unu agaghị anwụ.
5 “For God knows that in the day you eat of it, your eyes will be opened and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”
Nʼihi na Chineke maara na ọ bụrụ na unu erie ya, anya unu ga-emeghe, unu ga-amata ezi ihe na ajọ ihe.”
6 When the woman saw that the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eyes, and that it was desirable for obtaining wisdom, she took the fruit and ate it. She also gave some to her husband who was with her, and he ate it.
Nwanyị ahụ hụrụ na mkpụrụ si nʼosisi ahụ dị mma iri eri, na ọ dị mma nʼanya, na ọ bụ osisi mara mma e si enweta amamihe. Ọ ghọọrọ mkpụrụ ahụ rie, nyekwa di ya, onye nke na ya nọ, o rie.
7 And the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked; so they sewed together fig leaves and made coverings for themselves.
Mgbe ahụ, anya ha abụọ meghere, ha chọpụtara na ha gba ọtọ. Ya mere, ha dụkọtara ahịhịa fiig, jiri ya mere onwe ha akwa.
8 Then the man and his wife heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the breeze of the day, and they hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God among the trees of the garden.
Mgbe nwoke ahụ na nwunye ya nụrụ ụda njegharị Onyenwe anyị Chineke nʼogige ahụ nʼoge uhuruchi, ha zoro onwe ha site nʼebe Onyenwe anyị Chineke nọ nʼetiti osisi ndị dị nʼogige ahụ.
9 But the LORD God called out to the man, “Where are you?”
Ma Onyenwe anyị Chineke kpọrọ nwoke ahụ oku sị ya, “Ebee ka ị nọ?”
10 “I heard Your voice in the garden,” he replied, “and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid myself.”
Ọ zara si, “Anụrụ m ụda ụkwụ gị nʼogige, nʼihi ya, atụrụ m ụjọ, ebe ọ bụ na m gba ọtọ. Ezokwara m onwe m.”
11 “Who told you that you were naked?” asked the LORD God. “Have you eaten from the tree of which I commanded you not to eat?”
Onyenwe anyị Chineke jụrụ ya sị, “Onye gwara gị na ị gba ọtọ? I riela mkpụrụ si nʼosisi ahụ m nyere gị iwu sị gị erila?”
12 And the man answered, “The woman whom You gave me, she gave me fruit from the tree, and I ate it.”
Nwoke ahụ sịrị, “Nwanyị ahụ i mere ka mụ na ya nọdụ, ọ bụ ya nyere m mkpụrụ sitere nʼosisi ahụ, m rie.”
13 Then the LORD God said to the woman, “What is this you have done?” “The serpent deceived me,” she replied, “and I ate.”
Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị Chineke sịrị nwanyị ahụ, “Gịnị bụ ihe a i mere?” Nwanyị ahụ zara sị, “Ọ bụ agwọ ghọgburu m, mee m ka m rie ya.”
14 So the LORD God said to the serpent: “Because you have done this, cursed are you above all livestock and every beast of the field! On your belly will you go, and dust you will eat, all the days of your life.
Ya mere, Onyenwe anyị Chineke gwara agwọ ahụ sị, “Nʼihi ihe a i mere, “Ihe a bụrụ ọnụ ka ị bụ nʼetiti anụ ụlọ niile na nʼetiti anụ ọhịa niile. Afọ gị ka ị ga-eji na-aga ije, aja ka ị ga na-eri ogologo ụbọchị ndụ gị niile.
15 And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed. He will crush your head, and you will strike his heel.”
Aga m eme ka iro dịrị nʼetiti gị na nwanyị ahụ, nʼetiti mkpụrụ gị na mkpụrụ ya, mkpụrụ ya ga-etipịa gị isi, gị onwe gị ga-ata ya arụ nʼikiri ụkwụ.”
16 To the woman He said: “I will sharply increase your pain in childbirth; in pain you will bring forth children. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you.”
Ọ gwara nwanyị ahụ sị ya, “Aga m eme ka ihe mgbu nke ịmụ nwa gị baa ụba nke ukwuu, ọ bụ site nʼihe mgbu ka ị ga-eji mụpụta ụmụ gị. Ọchịchọ nke obi gị ga-adị nʼaka di gị, ọ bụ ya ga-achịkwa gị.”
17 And to Adam He said: “Because you have listened to the voice of your wife and have eaten from the tree of which I commanded you not to eat, cursed is the ground because of you; through toil you will eat of it all the days of your life.
Ọ gwara Adam sị, “Nʼihi na ị ṅara nwunye gị ntị, rie mkpụrụ site nʼosisi ahụ m nyere gị iwu sị, ‘Gị erila mkpụrụ sitere na ya,’ “Ala bụ ihe a bụrụ ọnụ nʼihi gị, site nʼoke ndọgbu nʼọrụ ka ị ga-eri ihe si na ya pụta ogologo ụbọchị ndụ gị niile.
18 Both thorns and thistles it will yield for you, and you will eat the plants of the field.
Ọ ga-erupụtara gị ogwu na uke, ị ga-erikwa ahịhịa nke ubi.
19 By the sweat of your brow you will eat your bread, until you return to the ground— because out of it were you taken. For dust you are, and to dust you shall return.”
Site nʼọsụsọ nke ga-agbapụta gị nʼihu ka ị ga-eri nri gị tutu ruo mgbe ị lọghachiri nʼala ebe ọ bụ site nʼala ka e si mepụta gị nʼihi na aja ka ị bụ, nʼaja ka ị ga-alaghachikwa.”
20 And Adam named his wife Eve, because she would be the mother of all the living.
Adam gụrụ nwunye ya Iiv, nʼihi na ọ bụ nne mmadụ niile dị ndụ.
21 And the LORD God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife, and He clothed them.
Emesịa, Onyenwe anyị Chineke weere akpụkpọ anụ meere Adam na nwunye ya uwe oyiyi.
22 Then the LORD God said, “Behold, the man has become like one of Us, knowing good and evil. And now, lest he reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life, and eat, and live forever...”
Onyenwe anyị Chineke sịrị, “Lee, mmadụ adịla ka onye ọbụla nʼime anyị site nʼịmata ihe ọma na ihe ọjọọ. Ugbu a, ka ọ gharakwa ị setịpụ aka ya ghọrọ mkpụrụ osisi ahụ na-enye ndụ rie, si otu a dịrị ndụ ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.”
23 Therefore the LORD God banished him from the Garden of Eden to work the ground from which he had been taken.
Nʼihi nke a, Onyenwe anyị Chineke chụpụrụ ya site nʼogige Iden ka ọ gaa na-arụ ọrụ nʼala e si wepụta ya.
24 So He drove out the man and stationed cherubim on the east side of the Garden of Eden, along with a whirling sword of flame to guard the way to the tree of life.
Mgbe ọ chụpụrụ mmadụ, o dochiri nʼọwụwa anyanwụ nke ogige Iden ndị mmụọ ozi dị ike a na-akpọ Cherubim, na mma agha na-acha ọkụ, ka ha na-eche ọnụ ụzọ e si aba nʼebe osisi ahụ na-enye ndụ dị nche.
