< 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?’”
Kale nno omusota gwali mukalabakalaba okukira ensolo zonna ez’omu nsiko, Mukama Katonda ze yatonda. Ne gugamba omukazi nti, “Kazzi Katonda yagamba nti, ‘Temulyanga ku muti gwonna ogw’omu nnimiro!’”
2 The woman answered the serpent, “We may eat the fruit of the trees of the garden,
Omukazi n’addamu omusota nti, “Tulya ku buli muti ogw’omu nnimiro,
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.’”
kyokka Katonda yatulagira nti, ‘Temulyanga ku kibala ky’omuti oguli wakati mu nnimiro, wadde okugukwatako, muleme okufa.’”
4 “You will not surely die,” the serpent told her.
Naye omusota ne gugamba omukazi nti, “Temugenda kufa.
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.”
Kubanga Katonda amanyi nga lwe muligulyako amaaso gammwe lwe galizibuka, era mulifaanana nga ye, okumanyanga ekirungi n’ekibi.”
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.
Awo omukazi bwe yalaba ng’omuti mulungi nga gusanyusa okutunulako era gwegombebwa okuleeta amagezi, n’anoga ekibala kyagwo n’alya; n’awaako ne bba naye n’alya.
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.
Awo amaaso gaabwe bombi ne gazibuka, ne bategeera nga baali bwereere; ne baluka amalagala g’emiti ne beekolera ebyokwambala.
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.
Awo ne bawulira eddoboozi lya Mukama Katonda ng’atambula mu nnimiro, mu budde obuweeweevu. Omusajja n’omukazi ne beekweka mu miti Mukama Katonda aleme okubalaba.
9 But the LORD God called out to the man, “Where are you?”
Naye Mukama Katonda n’ayita omusajja nti, “Oli ludda wa?”
10 “I heard Your voice in the garden,” he replied, “and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid myself.”
N’addamu nti, “Mpulidde eddoboozi lyo mu nnimiro, ne ntya, kubanga mbadde bwereere; ne nneekweka.”
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?”
N’amubuuza nti, “Ani akubuulidde nti oli bwereere? Olidde ku muti gwe nakulagira obutagulyangako?”
12 And the man answered, “The woman whom You gave me, she gave me fruit from the tree, and I ate it.”
Omusajja n’addamu nti, “Omukazi gwe wampa okubeeranga nange y’ampadde ekibala ne ndya.”
13 Then the LORD God said to the woman, “What is this you have done?” “The serpent deceived me,” she replied, “and I ate.”
Mukama Katonda kwe kubuuza omukazi nti, “Kiki kino ky’okoze?” Omukazi n’addamu nti, “Omusota gwe gunsenzesenze ne ndya.”
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.
Mukama Katonda n’agamba omusota nti, Kubanga okoze kino okolimiddwa okukira ensolo zonna ez’awaka n’ez’omu nsiko, oneekululiranga ku lubuto lwo era onoolyanga nfuufu ennaku zonna ez’obulamu bwo.
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.”
Nteeka obulabe wakati wo n’omukazi, ne wakati w’ezzadde lyo n’ezzadde ly’omukazi; ezzadde lye linaakubetentanga omutwe, naawe onoolibojjanga ekisinziiro.
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.”
N’agamba omukazi nti, “Nnaayongeranga nnyo ku bulumi bwo ng’oli lubuto, onoozaaliranga mu bulumi; musajja wo anaakukoleranga bye weetaaga kyokka anaakufuganga.”
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.
N’agamba Adamu nti, “Kubanga owulidde eddoboozi lya mukazi wo, n’olya ku muti gwe nakulagira obutagulyangako, “ensi ekolimiddwa ku lulwo; mu ntuuyo zo mw’onoofuniranga ekyokulya ennaku zonna ez’obulamu bwo.
18 Both thorns and thistles it will yield for you, and you will eat the plants of the field.
Ensi eneekumerezanga amaggwa n’amatovu, onoolyanga ebibala eby’omu nnimiro.
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.”
Mu ntuuyo zo mw’onoggyanga ekyokulya, okutuusa lw’olidda mu ttaka mwe wava, kubanga oli nfuufu ne mu nfuufu mw’olidda.”
20 And Adam named his wife Eve, because she would be the mother of all the living.
Omusajja n’atuuma omukazi erinnya Kaawa, oyo ye nnyina w’abalamu bonna.
21 And the LORD God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife, and He clothed them.
Mukama Katonda n’akolera Adamu ne mukazi we ebyambalo eby’amaliba n’abambaza.
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...”
Awo Mukama Katonda n’agamba nti, “Laba omuntu afuuse ng’omu ku ffe okumanyanga ekirungi n’ekibi; kale kaakano talwa kugolola mukono gwe n’anoga ku muti ogw’obulamu n’alya, n’awangaala emirembe gyonna.”
23 Therefore the LORD God banished him from the Garden of Eden to work the ground from which he had been taken.
Bw’atyo Mukama Katonda n’agoba omuntu mu nnimiro Adeni agende alimenga ettaka mwe yaggyibwa.
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.
Bwe yamala okugobamu omuntu, n’ateekamu Bakerubi n’ekitala ekimyansa eky’obwogi ku buli ludda okukuuma ekkubo erigenda ku muti ogw’obulamu.
