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?”
Na ɔwɔ yɛ ɔdaadaafo wɔ wuram mmoadoma a Awurade Nyankopɔn abɔ wɔn no nyinaa mu. Ɔwɔ no kɔɔ ɔbea no nkyɛn kobisaa no se, “Enti ɛyɛ ampa ara sɛ, Onyankopɔn se, ‘Munnni turo yi mu aduaba biara?’”
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.
Ɔbea no buaa ɔwɔ se, “Yetumi di nnua a ɛwɔ turo yi mu no so aduaba biara,
3 God told us, ‘You mustn't eat from that tree, or even touch it, otherwise you'll die.’”
nanso Onyankopɔn kae se, ‘Ɛnsɛ sɛ yedi dua a esi turo no mfimfini no so aduaba, na ɛnsɛ sɛ yɛde yɛn nsa mpo ka, anyɛ saa a yebewu.’”
4 “You certainly won't die,” the serpent told Eve.
Na ɔwɔ no ka kyerɛɛ ɔbea no se, “Morenwuwu.
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.”
Mmom, Onyankopɔn nim sɛ, da a mubedi no ara pɛ, mo ani bɛba mo ho so, ama moayɛ sɛ Onyankopɔn, na moahu papa ne bɔne.”
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.
Bere a ɔbea no huu sɛ dua a esi mfimfini no so aba no wodi a, ɛbɛyɛ yie, na ɛyɛ akɔnnɔ, na afei ɛtew ani no, ɔtew bi dii, de bi maa ne kunu a na ɔne no wɔ hɔ no, maa ɔno nso dii.
7 Immediately they saw everything differently and realized they were naked. So they sewed fig leaves together to cover themselves up.
Wodi wiee no, wɔn baanu ani baa wɔn ho so, na wohuu sɛ wɔn nyinaa da adagyaw. Enti wɔkekaa nhaban sisii anim, de kataa wɔn adagyaw so.
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.
Da no anwummere, wɔtee Awurade Nyankopɔn nka sɛ ɔnam turo no mu; enti Adam ne ne yere Hawa de wɔn ho kosiee nnua a ɛwɔ turo mu hɔ no mu sɛnea Awurade Nyankopɔn renhu wɔn.
9 The Lord God called out to Adam, “Where are you?”
Na Awurade Nyankopɔn frɛɛ Adam bisaa no se, “Mowɔ he?”
10 “I heard you walking in the garden and I was afraid because I was naked, so I hid,” he replied.
Adam buae se, “Metee wo nka wɔ turo no mu hɔ, nanso na misuro, efisɛ na meda adagyaw nti mekɔtɛwee.”
11 “Who told you that you were naked?” asked the Lord God. “Did you eat fruit from the tree I ordered you not to?”
Na Onyankopɔn bisaa no se, “Hena na ɔka kyerɛɛ wo se na woda adagyaw? Woadi dua a meka kyerɛɛ wo se nni so aba no bi ana?”
12 “It was the woman you gave me who gave me the fruit from the tree, and I ate it,” Adam replied.
Adam kae se, “Yiw, nanso ɔbea no a wode no maa me sɛ me ne no ntena no na ɔde aduaba a ɔtew fii dua no so no brɛɛ me maa midii.”
13 The Lord God asked Eve, “Why have you done this?” “The serpent tricked me, and so I ate it,” she replied.
Enti Awurade Nyankopɔn bisaa ɔbea no se, “Dɛn na woayɛ yi?” Ɔbea no buae se, “Ɔwɔ no na ɔdaadaa me ma midii.”
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.
Enti Awurade Nyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ ɔwɔ no se, “Esiane saa ade a woayɛ yi nti, “Wɔadome wo wɔ mmoa nyinaa ne nkekaboa mu. Wobɛwea wʼafuru so, na wo nkwanna nyinaa woadi mfutuma.
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.”
Mede ɔtan bɛto wo ne ɔbea no ne wʼasefo ne nʼasefo ntam. Ɔno na ɔbɛbɔ wo ti, na wo nso woaka ne nantin.”
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.”
Afei, Awurade Nyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ ɔbea no nso se, “Wobɛte ɔyaw pa ara wɔ wʼawo mu; ɔyaw mu na wobɛwo mma. Eyi nyinaa akyi no, wʼani begyina wo kunu na obedi wo so.”
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.
Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ Adam nso se, “Esiane sɛ wutiee wo yere asɛm, na wudii dua a mehyɛɛ wo se, ‘nni so aba no’ nti, “Madome asase, na ɔbrɛ ne ɔhaw mu na wubedidi so wo nkwanna nyinaa.
18 It will grow thorns and thistles for you, and you will have to eat wild plants.
Ebefifi nsɔe ne nkyɛkyerɛ ama wo na woadi wuram nhaban.
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.”
Wubesiam wʼanim fifiri ansa na woanya aduan adi, kosi sɛ wubewu akɔ dɔte mu, efisɛ dɔte no mu na menwen wo fii; woyɛ dɔte, na dɔte mu na wobɛsan akɔ.”
20 Adam named his wife Eve, because she was to be the mother of all human beings.
Adam too ne yere no din Hawa, efisɛ ɔno na ɔbɛyɛ ateasefo nyinaa na.
21 The Lord God made Adam and Eve clothes from animal skins and dressed them.
Awurade Nyankopɔn de aboa nhoma yɛɛ ntade maa Adam ne ne yere Hawa de kataa wɔn ho.
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!”
Awurade Nyankopɔn kae se, “Afei, onipa no abɛyɛ sɛ yɛn ara a, wahu papa ne bɔne. Ɛnsɛ sɛ yɛma no kwan na ɔteɛ ne nsa kɔtew nkwa dua no so aba no bi di, na ɔtena ase afebɔɔ.”
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.
Enti Awurade Nyankopɔn pam no fii Eden turo no mu sɛ ɔnkɔyɛ adwuma wɔ asase a wɔnwenee no fii mu no so.
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.
Ɔpam onipa no, ɔde Kerubim ne afoa a ɛdɛw twaa ne ho fa baabiara no sii Eden turo no apuei fam sɛ ɛnwɛn ɔkwan a ɛkɔ nkwa dua no ho no.
