Genesis 3
1 And the serpent was more crafty than any animal of the field which Jehovah Elohim had made. And it said to the woman, Is it even so, that God has said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
Basi nyoka alikuwa mwerevu kuliko wanyama wote wa porini ambao Bwana Mungu aliwafanya. Nyoka akamwambia mwanamke, “Ati kweli Mungu alisema, ‘Kamwe msile matunda ya mti wowote wa bustanini’?”
2 And the woman said to the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden;
Mwanamke akamjibu nyoka, “Tunaweza kula matunda ya miti iliyoko bustanini,
3 but of the fruit of the tree that is in the midst of the garden, God has said, Ye shall not eat of it, and ye shall not touch it, lest ye die.
lakini Mungu alisema, ‘Kamwe msile tunda la mti ulio katikati ya bustani, wala kuugusa, la sivyo mtakufa.’”
4 And the serpent said to the woman, Ye will not certainly die;
Lakini nyoka akamwambia mwanamke, “Hakika hamtakufa.
5 but God knows that in the day ye eat of it, your eyes will be opened, and ye will be as God, knowing good and evil.
Kwa maana Mungu anajua ya kuwa wakati mtakapoyala, macho yenu yatafumbuliwa, nanyi mtakuwa kama Mungu, mkijua mema na mabaya.”
6 And the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a pleasure for the eyes, and the tree was to be desired to give intelligence; and she took of its fruit, and ate, and gave also to her husband with her, and he ate.
Mwanamke alipoona ya kuwa tunda la mti huo lilikuwa zuri kwa chakula na la kupendeza macho, tena linatamanika kwa kujipatia hekima, basi akachuma katika matunda yake, akala, pia akampa mumewe, aliyekuwa pamoja naye, naye akala.
7 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked. And they sewed fig-leaves together, and made themselves aprons.
Ndipo macho yao wote wawili yakafumbuliwa, wakajiona kwamba walikuwa uchi; hivyo wakashona majani ya mtini, wakajifunika.
8 And they heard the voice of Jehovah Elohim, walking in the garden in the cool of the day. And Man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of Jehovah Elohim, in the midst of the trees of the garden.
Ndipo yule mwanaume na mkewe, waliposikia sauti ya Bwana Mungu alipokuwa akitembea bustanini jioni, wakajificha kutoka mbele za Bwana Mungu katikati ya miti ya bustani.
9 And Jehovah Elohim called to Man, and said to him, Where art thou?
Lakini Bwana Mungu akamwita Adamu, “Uko wapi?”
10 And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I feared, because I am naked; and I hid myself.
Naye akajibu, “Nilikusikia katika bustani nikaogopa kwa sababu nilikuwa uchi, hivyo nikajificha.”
11 And he said, Who told thee that thou art naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree of which I commanded thee not to eat?
Mungu akamuuliza, “Ni nani aliyekuambia ya kuwa ulikuwa uchi? Je, umekula matunda ya mti niliokuamuru usile?”
12 And Man said, The woman, whom thou hast given [to be] with me, she gave me of the tree, and I ate.
Adamu akasema, “Huyu mwanamke uliyenipa awe pamoja nami alinipa sehemu ya tunda kutoka kwenye huo mti, nami nikala.”
13 And Jehovah Elohim said to the woman, What is this thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent deceived me, and I ate.
Ndipo Bwana Mungu akamuuliza mwanamke, “Ni nini hili ambalo umelifanya?” Mwanamke akajibu, “Nyoka alinidanganya, nami nikala.”
14 And Jehovah Elohim said to the serpent, Because thou hast done this, be thou cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field. On thy belly shalt thou go, and eat dust all the days of thy life.
Hivyo Bwana Mungu akamwambia nyoka, “Kwa kuwa umefanya hili, “Umelaaniwa kuliko wanyama wote wa kufugwa na wa porini! Utatambaa kwa tumbo lako na kula mavumbi 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 crush thy head, and thou shalt crush his heel.
Nami nitaweka uadui kati yako na huyo mwanamke, na kati ya uzao wako na wake, yeye atakuponda kichwa, nawe utamuuma kisigino.”
16 To the woman he said, I will greatly increase thy travail and thy pregnancy; with pain thou shalt bear children; and to thy husband shall be thy desire, and he shall rule over thee.
Kwa mwanamke akasema, “Nitakuzidishia sana utungu wakati wa kuzaa kwako; kwa utungu utazaa watoto. Tamaa yako itakuwa kwa mumeo naye atakutawala.”
17 And to Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened to the voice of thy wife, and eaten of the tree of which I commanded thee saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed be the ground on thy account; with toil shalt thou eat [of] it all the days of thy life;
Kwa Adamu akasema, “Kwa sababu umemsikiliza mke wako na ukala kutoka kwenye mti niliokuamuru, ‘Msile tunda lake,’ “Ardhi imelaaniwa kwa sababu yako, kwa kazi ngumu utakula chakula kitokacho humo siku zote za maisha yako.
18 and thorns and thistles shall it yield thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field.
Itazaa miiba na mibaruti kwa ajili yako, nawe utakula mimea ya shambani.
19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, until thou return to the ground: for out of it wast thou taken. For dust thou art; and unto dust shalt thou return.
Kwa jasho la uso wako utakula chakula chako hadi utakaporudi ardhini, kwa kuwa ulitwaliwa kutoka humo, kwa kuwa wewe u mavumbi na mavumbini wewe utarudi.”
20 And Man called his wife's name Eve; because she is the mother of all living.
Adamu akamwita mkewe Eva, kwa kuwa atakuwa mama wa wote walio hai.
21 And Jehovah Elohim made Adam and his wife coats of skin, and clothed them.
Bwana Mungu akawatengenezea Adamu na mkewe mavazi ya ngozi, akawavika.
22 And Jehovah Elohim said, Behold, Man is become as one of us, to know good and evil. And now, lest he stretch out his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever...!
Kisha Bwana Mungu akasema, “Sasa mtu huyu amekuwa kama mmoja wetu, kwa kujua mema na mabaya. Sharti asiruhusiwe kunyoosha mkono wake na kuchuma pia kutoka mti wa uzima akala, naye akaishi milele.”
23 Therefore Jehovah Elohim sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from which he was taken.
Hivyo Bwana Mungu akamfukuzia mbali kutoka Bustani ya Edeni, akalime ardhi ambamo alitolewa.
24 And he drove out Man; and he set the Cherubim, and the flame of the flashing sword, toward the east of the garden of Eden, to guard the way to the tree of life.
Baada ya kumfukuzia mbali Adamu, Mungu akaweka makerubi mashariki ya Bustani ya Edeni, pamoja na upanga wa moto ukimulika huku na huko kulinda njia ya kuuendea mti wa uzima.
