Genesis 3
1 Now the serpent was more subtle than any of the beasts of the earth which the Lord God had made. And he said to the woman: Why hath God commanded you, that you should not eat of every tree of paradise?
Ndipo njoka inali yochenjera kuposa nyama yakuthengo iliyonse imene Yehova Mulungu anapanga. Njokayo inati kwa mkaziyo, “Kodi Mulungu ananenadi kuti, ‘Inu musadye zipatso za mtengo uliwonse mʼmundamu?’”
2 And the woman answered him, saying: Of the fruit of the trees that are in paradise we do eat:
Mkaziyo anati kwa njokayo, “Tikhoza kudya zipatso za mʼmitengo ya mʼmundawu,
3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of paradise, God hath commanded us that we should not eat; and that we should not touch it, lest perhaps we die.
koma Mulungu anati, ‘Musadye zipatso za mu mtengo umene uli pakati pa munda, ndipo musadzawukhudze kuti mungadzafe.’”
4 And the serpent said to the woman: No, you shall not die the death.
“Ndithudi simudzafa,” inatero njokayo kwa mkaziyo.
5 For God doth know that in what day soever you shall eat thereof, your eyes shall be opened: and you shall be as Gods, knowing good and evil.
“Pakuti Mulungu akudziwa kuti tsiku limene mudzadye zipatso za mu mtengowo, maso anu adzatsekuka, ndipo mudzakhala ngati Mulungu, wodziwa zabwino ndi zoyipa.”
6 And the woman saw that the tree was good to eat, and fair to the eyes, and delightful to behold: and she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave to her husband who did eat.
Pamene mkaziyo anaona kuti mtengowo unali wabwino kudya ndi wokongola ndi kuti unali wopatsa nzeru, anatengako zipatso zake nadya. Zina anamupatsako mwamuna wake amene anali naye pomwepo ndipo naye anadyanso.
7 And the eyes of them both were opened: and when they perceived themselves to be naked, they sewed together fig leaves, and made themselves aprons.
Kenaka maso awo anatsekuka, ndipo anazindikira kuti anali maliseche. Choncho anasoka masamba a mkuyu nadzipangira zovala.
8 And when they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in paradise at the afternoon air, Adam and his wife hid themselves from the face of the Lord God, amidst the trees of paradise.
Kenaka munthu uja ndi mkazi wake anamva mtswatswa wa Yehova Mulungu akuyendayenda mʼmundamo madzulo a tsikulo, ndipo iwo anabisala pamaso pa Yehova Mulungu pakati pa mitengo ya mʼmundamo.
9 And the Lord God called Adam, and said to him: Where art thou?
Yehova Mulungu anayitana munthu uja kuti, “Uli kuti?”
10 And he said: I heard thy voice in paradise; and I was afraid, because I was naked, and I hid myself.
Iye anayankha, “Ndinakumvani mʼmundamo, ndipo ndimaopa chifukwa ndinali maliseche; choncho ndinabisala.”
11 And he said to him: And who hath told thee that thou wast naked, but that thou hast eaten of the tree whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldst not eat?
Ndipo anamufunsa, “Ndani anakuwuza kuti uli maliseche? Kodi wadya zipatso za mtengo umene ndinakulamulira kuti usadye?”
12 And Adam said: The woman, whom thou gavest me to be my companion, gave me of the tree, and I did eat.
Koma munthu uja anati, “Mkazi amene munandipatsa kuti ndizikhala nayeyu anandipatsako chipatso cha mtengowo ndipo ndinadya.”
13 And the Lord God said to the woman: Why hast thou done this? And she answered: The serpent deceived me, and I did eat.
Tsono Yehova Mulungu anati kwa mkaziyo, “Wachitachi nʼchiyani?” Mkaziyo anati, “Njoka inandinamiza, ndipo ndinadya.”
14 And the Lord God said to the serpent: Because thou hast done this thing, thou art cursed among all cattle, and beasts of the earth: upon thy breast shalt thou go, and earth shalt thou eat all the days of thy life.
Choncho Yehova Mulungu anati kwa njokayo, “Popeza wachita zimenezi, “Ndiwe wotembereredwa kuposa ziweto zonse ndi nyama zakuthengo zonse. Udzayenda chafufumimba ndipo udzadya fumbi masiku onse a moyo wako.
15 I will put enmities between thee and the woman, and thy seed and her seed: she shall crush thy head, and thou shalt lie in wait for her heel.
Ndipo ndidzayika chidani pakati pa iwe ndi mkaziyo, pakati pa mbewu yako ndi mbewu yake; Iye adzaphwanya mutu wako ndipo iwe udzaluma chidendene chake.”
16 To the woman also he said: I will multiply thy sorrows, and thy conceptions: in sorrow shalt thou bring forth children, and thou shalt be under thy husband’s power, and he shall have dominion over thee.
Kwa mkaziyo Iye anati, “Ndidzachulukitsa ululu wako kwambiri pamene uli ndi pakati; ndipo udzamva ululu pa nthawi yako yobereka ana. Udzakhumba mwamuna wako, ndipo adzakulamulira.”
17 And to Adam he said: Because thou hast hearkened to the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldst not eat, cursed is the earth in thy work; with labour and toil shalt thou eat thereof all the days of thy life.
Ndipo kwa Adamu Mulungu anati, “Chifukwa wamvera mkazi wako ndipo wadya zipatso za mu mtengo umene ndinakulamulira kuti, ‘Usadye.’ “Nthaka yatembereredwa chifukwa cha iwe, movutikira udzadya zochokera mʼnthakamo masiku onse a moyo wako.
18 Thorns and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herbs of the earth.
Mʼnthakamo mudzamera minga ndi nthula ndipo udzadya zomera zakuthengo.
19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread till thou return to the earth, out of which thou wast taken: for dust thou art, and into dust thou shalt return.
Kuti upeze chakudya udzayenera kukhetsa thukuta, mpaka utabwerera ku nthaka pakuti unachokera kumeneko; pakuti ndiwe fumbi ku fumbi komweko udzabwerera.”
20 And Adam called the name of his wife Eve: because she was the mother of all the living.
Munthu uja anatcha mkazi wake Hava, chifukwa iyeyu adzakhala mayi wa anthu onse amoyo.
21 And the Lord God made for Adam and his wife, garments of skins, and clothed them.
Yehova Mulungu anapangira Adamu ndi mkazi wake zovala zachikopa ndipo anawaveka.
22 And he said: Behold Adam is become as one of us, knowing good and evil: now, therefore, lest perhaps he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever.
Ndipo Yehova Mulungu anati, “Tsopano munthu uyu wasanduka mmodzi wa ife, wodziwa zabwino ndi zoyipa. Iyeyu asaloledwe kutambasula dzanja ndi kutengako zipatso za mu mtengo wopatsa moyo uja kuti angakhale ndi moyo mpaka muyaya.”
23 And the Lord God sent him out of the paradise of pleasure, to till the earth from which he was taken.
Kotero Yehova Mulungu anatulutsa Adamu Mʼmunda wa Edeni kuti azilima mʼnthaka imene anachokera.
24 And he cast out Adam; and placed before the paradise of pleasure Cherubims, and a flaming sword, turning every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.
Atamuthamangitsa munthu uja, Yehova anayika Akerubi mbali ya kummawa kwa Munda wa Edeni ndi lupanga lamoto limene limayendayenda ponsepo, kuteteza njira ya ku mtengo wopatsa moyo.
