Genesis 3
1 Now the snake was wiser than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said to the woman, Has God truly said that you may not take of the fruit of any tree in 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, We may take of the fruit of the trees in the garden:
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 in the middle of the garden, God has said, If you take of it or put your hands on it, death will come to you.
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 snake said, Death will not certainly come to you:
Da la gblɔ be, “Miele kuku ge akpɔ o!
5 For God sees that on the day when you take of its fruit, your eyes will be open, and you will be as gods, having knowledge of 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 a delight to the eyes, and to be desired to make one wise, she took of its fruit, and gave it to her husband.
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 their eyes were open and they were conscious that they had no clothing and they made themselves coats of leaves stitched together.
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 there came to them the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the evening wind: and the man and his wife went to a secret place among the trees of the garden, away from the eyes of the Lord God.
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 the voice of the Lord God came to the man, saying, Where are you?
Yehowa Mawu yɔ amea, eye wòbiae bena, “Afi ka nèle?”
10 And he said, Hearing your voice in the garden I was full of fear, because I was without clothing: and I kept myself from your eyes.
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 gave you the knowledge that you were without clothing? Have you taken of the fruit of the tree which I said you were not to take?
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 you gave to be with me, she gave me the fruit of the tree and I took it.
Amea ɖo eŋu be, “Ɛ̃, nyɔnu si nèwɔ nam lae na kutsetsea ƒe ɖem meɖu.”
13 And the Lord God said to the woman, What have you done? And the woman said, I was tricked by the deceit of the snake and I took it.
Yehowa Mawu bia nyɔnu la be, “Nu ka ta nèwɔ nu sia ɖo?” Nyɔnu la ɖo eŋu be, “Da lae blem.”
14 And the Lord God said to the snake, Because you have done this you are cursed more than all cattle and every beast of the field; you will go flat on the earth, and dust will be your food all the days of your 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 there will be war between you and the woman and between your seed and her seed: by him will your head be crushed and by you his foot will be wounded.
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, Great will be your pain in childbirth; in sorrow will your children come to birth; still your desire will be for your husband, but he will be your master.
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 you gave ear to the voice of your wife and took of the fruit of the tree which I said you were not to take, the earth is cursed on your account; in pain you will get your food from it all your 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 Thorns and waste plants will come up, and the plants of the field will be your food;
Anyigba ana ŋuwo kple aŋɔkawo namie na wò, eye nàɖu woƒe gbewo.
19 With the hard work of your hands you will get your bread till you go back to the earth from which you were taken: for dust you are and to the dust you will go back.
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 gave his wife the name of Eve because she was the mother of all who have life.
Ŋutsu la na ŋkɔ srɔ̃a be Eva si gɔmee nye “Agbenala,” elabena egblɔ be, “Eyae azu amegbetɔƒome blibo la dzila.”
21 And the Lord God made for Adam and for his wife coats of skins for their clothing.
Yehowa Mawu wɔ lãgbalẽwu do na Adam kple srɔ̃a.
22 And the Lord God said, Now the man has become like one of us, having knowledge of good and evil; and now if he puts out his hand and takes of the fruit of the tree of life, he will go on living for ever.
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 So the Lord God sent him out of the garden of Eden to be a worker on the earth from which 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 sent the man out; and at the east of the garden of Eden he put winged ones and a flaming sword turning every way to keep the way to 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.
