< 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?
Mia basa banda fo LAMATUALAIN tao sia raefafoꞌ ia, mengge a nahine pepeko-lelekoꞌ lenaꞌ basa e. Lao esa, hambu mengge sa natane inaꞌ a nae, “Tebꞌe, do? Lamatualain ai hei nae, ‘Afiꞌ mia hau boaꞌ mana sia osi ia, to?’”
2 And the woman said, We may take of the fruit of the trees in the garden:
Inaꞌ a nataa nae, “Hokoꞌ! Hai bole mia! Te akaꞌ a hau esa sia osi a taladꞌa na, Lamatualain ai hai fo afiꞌ mia. Ana nae hai afiꞌ mia, ma afiꞌ nggama boa na, te hokoꞌ naa, hai mate.”
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.
4 And the snake said, Death will not certainly come to you:
Te mengge a nataa nae, “Weh! Naa, nda tebꞌe sa! Hei nda mate sa.
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.
Lamatualain memaꞌ ai taꞌo naa, huu Ana bubꞌuluꞌ mete ma hei mia hau a boa na, naa, hei mihine bee maloleꞌ ma bee deꞌulakaꞌ, onaꞌ Eni boe.”
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.
Boe ma, inaꞌ a nita hau a malole na seli, no boa na onaꞌ maladꞌaꞌ. Ana dꞌua nae, “Mete ma au ua boaꞌ ia, neꞌo au uhine.” Basa ma, ana etu boaꞌ naa, de naa. Ma nendi fee sao na, de ana o naa boe.
7 And their eyes were open and they were conscious that they had no clothing and they made themselves coats of leaves stitched together.
Ara raa basa ma, aiboiꞌ ma rahine rae sira maꞌaholaꞌ. Naa de, ara nato hau roo fo babꞌata ao nara.
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.
Bꞌobꞌo na ma, ara rena LAMATUALAIN lao-laoꞌ sia osi a. De ara keke mia hau sa deaꞌ, naa fo, LAMATUALAIN nda nita se sa.
9 And the voice of the Lord God came to the man, saying, Where are you?
Te LAMATUALAIN noꞌe touꞌ a nae, “Adam! Ho sia bee?”
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.
Touꞌ a nataa nae, “Au rena hara Ma sia ia. Te au mae, huu au maꞌaholaꞌ. Naa de, au keke.”
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?
Boe ma Lamatualain nae, “Seka nafadꞌe oi ho maꞌaholaꞌ? Taꞌo bee? Ho mua hau boaꞌ fo Au aiꞌ a, to?”
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.
Nataa nae, “Inaꞌ ia, fo Lamatualain fee dadꞌi nonoo ngga, ana mana fee au hau boaꞌ a, fo ua!”
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.
Boe ma LAMATUALAIN olaꞌ no inaꞌ a nae, “Ho tao saa, ia?” Nataa nae, “Mengge a mana eꞌedik nala au! Naa de, au ua ma.”
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:
Basa ma, LAMATUALAIN huku-doki mengge a nae, “Huu tatao ma, Au hukun nggo. Mia basa banda ra, akaꞌ a mesaꞌ nggo dai huku-dokiꞌ ia. Mia oras ia losa mate, nodꞌo mendiꞌ a tenda ma, ma mua siaꞌ a rae a.
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.
Au tao nggo mo inaꞌ ia bamusuꞌ mikindooꞌ a. Hei ruꞌa nggi tititi-nonosi mara o, taꞌo naa boe. Dei fo, tititi-nonosi mara ero atahori ra ei tingga nara. Te inaꞌ a tititi-nonosi na esa, tutu nalutu langga ma.”
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.
Basa ma, Lamatualain nafadꞌe inaꞌ a nae, “Au fee nggo sususaꞌ naeꞌ leleꞌ muiru, ma bꞌonggi no doidꞌosoꞌ seli. Te taꞌo naa o, ho feꞌe hii-nau mo sao ma. Ma ana mana nauli nggo.”
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.
Boe ma Lamatuaꞌ nafadꞌe touꞌ a nae, “Ho nda tungga Au parenda ngga sa, te tunggaꞌ a sao ma hihii na, de mua hau boaꞌ fo Au aiꞌ a. Naa de Au huku-dokiꞌ nggo boe. Ma Au o huku-doki rae a boe. Mia oras ia losa mate, ho musi tao ues naeꞌ aꞌali rae, fo feꞌe hambu mua na. Naa fo, musodꞌa.
18 Thorns and waste plants will come up, and the plants of the field will be your food;
Onaꞌ mae ho sela mataꞌ-mataꞌ o, akaꞌ a duri-nggaut a mori.
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.
De ho musi tao ues naeꞌ, fo rae a fee nggo mua. Ma mbusa ma musi nandali losa ho mate. Au tao nggo mia rae, de mete ma mate nggo, naa, dadꞌi baliꞌ rae.”
20 And the man gave his wife the name of Eve because she was the mother of all who have life.
Basa naa ma, Adam babꞌae sao na ‘Hawa’ (sosoa na ‘mana masodꞌa’), huu basa atahori masodꞌaꞌ ra ina na, eni.
21 And the Lord God made for Adam and for his wife coats of skins for their clothing.
Boe ma LAMATUALAIN tao buas mia banda rouꞌ, de seluao neu se.
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.
Basa ma LAMATUALAIN olaꞌ nae, “Ia naa, atahori rahine bee maloleꞌ ma bee deꞌulakaꞌ, onaꞌ Hita boe. Afiꞌ losa ara o raa boaꞌ mia hau mana fee se rasodꞌa rakandoo.”
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.
Naa de, Ana oi hendiꞌ se mia osi Eden. Ara risiꞌ mamana feaꞌ, de aꞌali rae, fo rasodꞌa mia rae a.
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.
Lamatualain oi basa se ma, Ana denu ate malida Nara mia sorga, fo reu ranea osi seriꞌ rulu. Ara toꞌu tafaꞌ mana mbila onaꞌ ai, de lalaes neu-nema. Lamatualain denu se ena dalaꞌ rala neu, huu Ana nda nau atahori ra reu etu hau boaꞌ mana fee se rasodꞌa rakandoo.
