Genesis 3
1 And the two were naked, both Adam and his wife, and were not ashamed. Now the serpent was the most crafty of all the brutes on the earth, which the Lord God made, and the serpent said to the woman, Wherefore has God said, Eat not of every tree of the garden?
Sasa nyoka alikuwa mwerevu kuliko myama mwingine yeyote wa kondeni ambaye Yahwe Mungu alikuwa amemuumba. Akamwambia mwanamke, “Je ni kweli Mungu amesema, 'Msile matunda kutoka kwenye mti wowote bustanini'?”
2 And the woman said to the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden,
Mwanamke akamwambia nyoka, “Twaweza kula tunda kutoka kwenye miti ya bustani,
3 but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
lakini kuhusu tunda la mti ambao uko katikati ya bustani, Mungu alisema, 'msile, wala msiuguse, vinginevyo mtakufa.'”
4 And the serpent said to the woman, Ye shall not surely die.
Nyoka akamwambia mwanamke, “hakika hamtakufa.
5 For God knew that in whatever day ye should eat of it your eyes would be opened, and ye would be as gods, knowing good and evil.
Kwasababu Mungu anajua kwamba siku mkila macho yenu yatafumbuliwa, na mtakuwa kama Mungu, mkijua mema na mabaya.”
6 And the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes to look upon and beautiful to contemplate, and having taken of its fruit she ate, and she gave to her husband also with her, and they ate.
Na mwanamke alipoona kuwa mti ni mzuri kwa chakula, na kuwa unapendeza macho, na kwamba mti ulitamanika kwa kumfanya mtu awe mwerevu, alichukua sehemu ya tunda na akala. Na sehemu yake pia akampatia mumewe aliyekuwa naye, naye akala.
7 And the eyes of both were opened, and they perceived that they were naked, and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons to go round them.
Macho ya wote wawili yalifumbuliwa, na wakajua kuwa wako uchi. Wakashona majani ya miti pamoja na wakatengeneza vya kujifunika wao wenyewe.
8 And they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the afternoon; and both Adam and his wife hid themselves from the face of the Lord God in the midst of the trees of the garden.
Wakasikia sauti ya Yahwe Mungu akitembea bustanini majira ya kupoa kwa jua, kwa hiyo mwanaume na mke wake wakajificha wao wenyewe kwenye miti ya bustani kuepuka uwepo wa Yahwe Mungu.
9 And the Lord God called Adam and said to him, Adam, where art thou?
Yahwe Mungu akamuita mwanaume na kumwambia, “uko wapi?”
10 And he said to him, I heard thy voice as thou walkedst in the garden, and I feared because I was naked and I hid myself.
Mwanaume akasema, “nilikusikia bustanini, na nkaogopa, kwa sababu nilikuwa uchi. kwa hiyo nikajificha.”
11 And God said to him, Who told thee that thou wast naked, unless thou hast eaten of the tree concerning which I charged thee of it alone not to eat?
Mungu akasema, “Ni nani alikwambia kuwa ulikuwa uchi? Je umekula kutoka mti ambao nilikuagiza usile matunda yake?”
12 And Adam said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me—she gave me of the tree and I ate.
Mwanaume akasema, “Mwanamke uliyenipa kuwa na mimi, alinipatia tunda kutoka kwenye mti, na nikala.”
13 And the Lord God said to the woman, Why hast thou done this? And the woman said, The serpent deceived me and I ate.
Yahwe Mungu akamwambia mwanamke, “Nini hiki ulichofanya?” mwanamke akasema, “nyoka alinidanganya, na nikala.”
14 And the Lord God said to the serpent, Because thou hast done this thou art cursed above all cattle and all the brutes of the earth, on thy breast and belly thou shalt go, and thou shalt eat earth all the days of thy life.
Yahwe Mungu akamwambia nyoka, “kwa sababu umefanya jambo hili, umelaaniwa wewe mwenyewe miongoni mwa wanyama wote wa kufugwa na wanyama wote wa mwituni. Itakuwa kwa tumbo lako utakwenda, na mavumbi utakula kwa siku zote za maisha yako.
15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman and between thy seed and her seed, he shall watch against thy head, and thou shalt watch against his heel.
Nitaweka uadui kati yako na mwanamke, na kati ya uzao wako na uzao wake. Atakujeruhi kichwa chako na utamjeruhi kisigino chake.”
16 And to the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy pains and thy groanings; in pain thou shalt bring forth children, and thy submission shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.
Kwa mwanamke akasema, nitaongeza uchungu wakati wa kuzaa watoto; itakuwa katika maumivu utazaa watoto. Tamaa yako itakua kwa mume wako, lakini atakutawala.”
17 And to Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened to the voice of thy wife, and eaten of the tree concerning which I charged thee of it only not to eat—of that thou hast eaten, cursed [is] the ground in thy labours, in pain shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life.
Kwa Adam akasema, “kwa sababu umesikiliza sauti ya mke wako, na umekula kutoka katika mti, ambao nilikuagiza, nikisema, “usile matunda yake', ardhi imelaaniwa kwa sababu yako; kupitia kazi yenye maumivu utakula matunda ya ardhi kwa siku zote za maisha yako.
18 Thorns and thistles shall it bring forth to thee, and thou shalt eat the herb of the field.
Ardhi itazaa miiba na mbigili kwa ajili yako, na utakula mimea ya shambani.
19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat thy bread until thou return to the earth out of which thou wast taken, for earth thou art and to earth thou shalt return.
Kwa jasho la uso wako utakula mkate, mpaka utakapo irudia ardhi, ambayo kwayo ulitwaliwa. kwa kuwa wewe ni mavumbi na kwenye mavumbi utarudi.”
20 And Adam called the name of his wife Life, because she was the mother of all living.
Mwanaume akaita mke wake jina Hawa kwa sababu alikuwa mama wa wote wenye uhai.
21 And the Lord God made for Adam and his wife garments of skin, and clothed them.
Yahwe Mungu akatengeneza mavazi ya ngozi kwa ajili ya Adam na mke wake na akawavalisha.
22 And God said, Behold, Adam is become as one of us, to know good and evil, and now lest at any time he stretch forth his hand, and take of the tree of life and eat, and [so] he shall live for ever—
Yahwe Mungu akasema, “sasa mtu huyu amekuwa kama mmoja wetu, ajuaye mema na mabaya. Kwa hiyo sasa hataruhusiwa kugusa kwa mkono wake, na kuchukua tunda la mti wa uzima, na kula akaishi tena milele.”
23 So the Lord God sent him forth out of the garden of Delight to cultivate the ground out of which he was taken.
Kwa hiyo Yahwe Mungu akamuondoa kutoka kwenye bustani ya Edeni, kwenda kulima ardhi ambayo kwahiyo alikuwa ametwaliwa.
24 And he cast out Adam and caused him to dwell over against the garden of Delight, and stationed the cherubs and the fiery sword that turns about to keep the way of the tree of life.
Kwa hiyo Mungu akamfukuza mtu huyu nje ya bustani, na akaweka kerubi mashariki mwa bustani ya Edeni, na upanga wa moto ulio geuka geuka kila upande, ili kulinda njia ya kwenda kwenye mti wa uzima.
