< 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?”
Sèpan se bèt ki te pi rize nan tout bèt raje Seyè a, Bondye a, te kreye. Li di fanm lan konsa. Eske Bondye te janm di piga nou manje donn tout pyebwa ki nan jaden an?
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.
Fanm lan reponn sèpan an. Nou gen dwa manje donn tout pyebwa ki nan jaden an.
3 God told us, ‘You mustn't eat from that tree, or even touch it, otherwise you'll die.’”
Men, kanta pou pyebwa ki nan mitan jaden an, Bondye di. Piga nou manje ladan l', piga nou manyen l' menm. Sinon, n'ap mouri.
4 “You certainly won't die,” the serpent told Eve.
Lè sa a, sèpan an di fanm lan. Se pa vre. Nou p'ap mouri kras.
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.”
Bondye di nou sa paske li konnen jou nou manje ladan l', je nou va louvri. n'a vin tankou Bondye, n'a konn sa ki byen ak sa ki mal.
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.
Fanm lan gade, li wè jan pyebwa a te bèl, jan fwi yo sanble yo ta bon nan bouch. Li santi li ta manje ladan l' pou je l' ka louvri. Li keyi kèk fwi. Li manje, li pote bay mari l' ki manje tou.
7 Immediately they saw everything differently and realized they were naked. So they sewed fig leaves together to cover themselves up.
Manje yo fin manje, je yo louvri, lè sa a, yo vin konnen yo toutouni. Yo pran kèk fèy figfrans, yo koud yo ansanm, yo fè tanga mete sou yo.
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.
Jou sa a, solèy te fèk fin kouche lè nonm lan ak madanm li tande vwa Seyè a, Bondye a, ki t'ap pwonmennen nan jaden an. Y' al kache nan mitan pyebwa ki nan jaden an pou Seyè a, Bondye a, pa wè yo.
9 The Lord God called out to Adam, “Where are you?”
Men, Seyè a, Bondye a, rele nonm lan, li di l'. Kote ou ye?
10 “I heard you walking in the garden and I was afraid because I was naked, so I hid,” he replied.
Nonm lan reponn li. Mwen tande vwa ou nan jaden an, mwen pè. M al kache pou ou, paske mwen toutouni.
11 “Who told you that you were naked?” asked the Lord God. “Did you eat fruit from the tree I ordered you not to?”
Seyè a, Bondye a, di l'. Ki moun ki di ou te toutouni? Eske ou te manje fwi pyebwa mwen te di ou pa manje a?
12 “It was the woman you gave me who gave me the fruit from the tree, and I ate it,” Adam replied.
Nonm lan reponn. Fanm ou te ban mwen an, se li menm ki ban mwen fwi pyebwa a pou m' manje, epi mwen manje l'.
13 The Lord God asked Eve, “Why have you done this?” “The serpent tricked me, and so I ate it,” she replied.
Seyè a, Bondye a, mande fanm lan. Poukisa ou fè sa? Fanm lan reponn li. Se pa mwen non! Se sèpan an wi ki pran tèt mwen ki fè m' manje l'.
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.
Seyè a, Bondye a, di sèpan an konsa. Poutèt sa ou fè a, ou madichonnen nan mitan tout bèt jaden ak tout bèt nan bwa. W'a rale sou vant ou. W'a manje pousyè tè jouk jou ou mouri.
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.”
Ou menm ak fanm lan, m'ap fè nou lènmi yonn ak lòt. Pitit pitit pa l' ak pitit pitit pa ou ap lènmi tou. Pitit pitit li ap kraze tèt ou, epi ou menm w'ap mòde l' nan talon pye l'.
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.”
Li di fanm lan. Lè w'ap fè pitit, m'ap fè soufrans ou vin pi rèd. Wa gen pou soufri anpil lè w'ap akouche. W'ap toujou anvi mari ou. Men, se mari ou ki va chèf ou.
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.
Apre sa li di Adan. Ou koute pawòl madanm ou, pa vre! Ou manje fwi pyebwa mwen te ba ou lòd pa manje a. Poutèt sa ou fè a, m'ap madichonnen tè a. W'a gen pou travay di toutan pou fè tè a bay sa ou bezwen pou viv.
18 It will grow thorns and thistles for you, and you will have to eat wild plants.
Tè a va kale tout kalite pikan ak pengwen ba ou. W'a manje fèy ki pouse nan raje.
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.”
Se swe kouraj ou ki pou fè ou mete yon moso pen nan bouch ou jouk lè wa tounen nan tè kote ou soti a. Paske, se pousyè ou ye, ou gen pou tounen pousyè ankò.
20 Adam named his wife Eve, because she was to be the mother of all human beings.
Adan bay madanm li non, li rele l' Ev, paske se li menm ki manman tout moun k'ap viv sou tè a.
21 The Lord God made Adam and Eve clothes from animal skins and dressed them.
Lè sa a, Seyè a, Bondye a, pran po bèt, li fè rad pou Adan ansanm ak madanm li, li biye yo.
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!”
Apre sa, Seyè a, Bondye a, di. Koulye a, Adan vin konnen sa ki byen ak sa ki mal tankou yonn nan nou. Nou p'ap kite l' lonje men l' keyi fwi pyebwa ki bay lavi a pou l' manje l', pou l' pa viv pou tout tan.
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.
Se konsa, Seyè a, Bondye a, mete Adan deyò nan jaden Edenn lan. Li voye l' al travay tè, menm tè Bondye te pran pou fè l' la.
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.
Se konsa, li te mete Adan deyò. Sou bò kote solèy leve nan jaden an, li mete kèk zanj cheriben ak yon manchèt klere kou dife nan men yo. Yo t'ap dragonnen nan tout direksyon pou anpeche moun pwoche bò pyebwa ki bay lavi a.
