Genesis 3
1 The serpent was more cunning than any of the other wild animals that the Lord God had made. He asked Eve, “Did God really say that you can't eat fruit from every tree in the garden?”
Te vaengah BOEIPA Pathen loh a saii kohong mulhing boeih lakah rhul te tah thaai tih, huta taengah, “Pathen loh, ‘Dum kah thingkung te khat khaw na ca rhoi mahpawh,’ a ti tatak ngawn a?” a ti nah.
2 Eve replied to the serpent, “We can eat from the trees in the garden, but not the fruit from the tree in the middle of the garden.
Te dongah huta loh rhul taengah, “Dum thing thaih te ka caak rhoi thai.
3 God told us, ‘You mustn't eat from that tree, or even touch it, otherwise you'll die.’”
Tedae Pathen loh, 'Dum laklung kah thing thaih te ca rhoi boeh, taek rhoi boeh, te dongah na duek rhoi ve,’ a ti,” a ti nah.
4 “You certainly won't die,” the serpent told Eve.
Tedae rhul loh huta taengah, “Na duek rhoe na duek rhoi mahpawh.
5 “It's because God knows that as soon as you eat it, you'll see things differently, and you'll be like God, knowing both what is good and what is evil.”
Te te na caak rhoi khohnin ah na mik khaw tueng vetih a thae a then ming nah khaw Pathen bangla na om rhoi ni tila Pathen loh a ming dongah ni,” a ti nah.
6 Eve saw that the fruit of the tree appeared good to eat. It looked very attractive. She really wanted it so she could become wise. So she took some of its fruit and ate it, and she gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it too.
Huta long khaw caak ham koi thing then la, mik ham khaw hoehhamnah koi la a hmuh. Te vaengah a lungming la om ham thing te a nai. Te dongah a thaih te a loh tih a caak. Te phoeiah a taengkah a va te khaw a paek tih a caak.
7 Immediately they saw everything differently and realized they were naked. So they sewed fig leaves together to cover themselves up.
Te phoeiah amih rhoi kah mik te bok tueng tih pumtling la a om rhoi te a ming rhoi. Te dongah thaibu hawn te a hui rhoi tih amamih rhoi ham hni la a saii rhoi.
8 Later they heard the Lord walking in the garden in the evening when the breeze was blowing. Adam and Eve went and hid out of sight of the Lord God among the trees of the garden.
BOEIPA Pathen kah ol tah te khohnin kah khohli neh dum khuiah a caeh te a yaak rhoi. Te dongah Adam neh a yuu tah BOEIPA Pathen mikhmuh kah, dum lamloh thingkung lakli ah thuh uh rhoi.
9 The Lord God called out to Adam, “Where are you?”
Tedae BOEIPA Pathen loh hlang tongpa te a khue tih a taengah, “Melam na om,” a ti nah.
10 “I heard you walking in the garden and I was afraid because I was naked, so I hid,” he replied.
Tongpa loh, “Dum ah na ol ka yaak dae kai pumtling dongah ni ka rhih tih ka thuh,” a ti nah.
11 “Who told you that you were naked?” asked the Lord God. “Did you eat fruit from the tree I ordered you not to?”
Te dongah Boeipa loh, “Nang pumtling ni tila nang taengah ulae aka puen? Caak ham moenih tila nang kan uen thingkung te na caak nama?” a ti nah.
12 “It was the woman you gave me who gave me the fruit from the tree, and I ate it,” Adam replied.
Te vaengah tongpa loh, “Huta te kai taengah nan paek coeng ta, anih loh thing te kai taengah m'paek dongah ni ka caak,” a ti nah.
13 The Lord God asked Eve, “Why have you done this?” “The serpent tricked me, and so I ate it,” she replied.
Te dongah BOEIPA Pathen loh huta te, “Hekah he metlam na saii,” a ti nah hatah huta loh, “Rhul loh kai n'rhaithi tih ka caak,” a ti nah.
14 Then the Lord God told the serpent, “Because of what you've done, you are cursed more than any of the other animals. You will slide along on your belly and eat dust as long as you live.
Te dongah BOEIPA Pathen loh rhul taengah, “Hetla na saii dongah nang tah rhamsa boeih lakah khaw, kohong kah mulhing boeih lakah khaw, thaephoei thil la na om coeng. Na bung neh na colh vetih na hing tue khuiah laipi na caak ni.
15 I will make sure you and your children, and the woman and her children, are enemies. One of her children will crush your head, and you will strike his heel.”
Nang laklo neh huta laklo ah khaw, nang kah tiingan laklo neh anih kah tiingan laklo ah khaw, thunkha thunhling ka khueh vetih anih loh na lu ham phop ni. Nang long khaw anih kah khomik te na tuk pah ni,” a ti nah.
16 He told Eve, “I will make pregnancy much more difficult, and giving birth will be very painful. However, you will still desire your husband, but he will have control over you.”
Pathen loh huta taengah, “Na thatlohnah neh na rhumpum te ka pungtai rhoela ka pungtai sak ni. Patangnah neh camoe na cun ni. Na lungdueknah te na va ham vetih anih loh nang soah n'taemrhai ni,” a ti nah.
17 He told Adam, “Because you did what your wife told you, and ate fruit from the tree after I ordered you, ‘Don't eat fruit from this tree,’ the ground is now cursed because of you. You will have to work painfully hard to grow food from it throughout your whole life.
Adam te khaw, “Na yuu ol te na hnatang nah. Te dongah, 'Ca boeh ka ti, ' tih nang kan uen lalah, thingkung lamkah te na caak. Te dongah diklai he nang kong ah thae ka phoei thil coeng. Na hing tue khuiah thatlohnah nen ni buh na caak eh.
18 It will grow thorns and thistles for you, and you will have to eat wild plants.
Hling neh lota khaw nang ham daih vetih kohong kah baelhing te na caak ni.
19 You will have to sweat to grow enough food to eat until you die and return to the ground. For you were made from dust and you will return to dust.”
Na talung kah hlantui loh diklai la na bo sak daengah ni buh na caak eh. Laipi lamkah nang n'loh dongah laipi la na bal van ni,” a ti nah.
20 Adam named his wife Eve, because she was to be the mother of all human beings.
Te phoeiah Adam yuu te aka hing boeih kah a manu la a om ham dongah a ming te Eve tila a sui.
21 The Lord God made Adam and Eve clothes from animal skins and dressed them.
Te daengah BOEIPA Pathen loh Adam ham neh a yuu ham maehpho angkidung te a saii pah tih amih rhoi te a bai sak.
22 Then the Lord God observed, “Look, the human beings have become like one of us, knowing both what is good and what is evil. Now if they take the fruit from the tree of life and eat it, then they'll live forever!”
Te phoeiah BOEIPA Pathen loh, “Hlang he a then khaw a thae khaw ming ham mamih khuikah pakhat phek la ha om coeng he. Tahae ah a kut a yueng tih hingnah thing khaw a loh dongah kumhal hing ham ca lah ve,” a ti.
23 So the Lord God expelled them from the Garden of Eden. He sent Adam to cultivate the ground from which he'd been made.
Te dongah BOEIPA Pathen loh anih te Eden dum lamkah a tueih. Te lamkah ni khohmuen aka tawn ham a loh.
24 After he drove them out, the Lord God placed on the east side of the Garden of Eden angels and a sword that flashed in every direction. They were to prevent access to the tree of life.
Hlang te khaw a haek coeng tih hingnah thingkung longpuei aka hung ham cherubim neh hmaitak cunghang aka tinghil te Eden dum kah khothoeng ah a khueh.
