Genesis 3
1 Now the serpent was more subtill then any beast of the fielde, which the Lord God had made: and he said to the woman, Yea, hath God in deede said, Ye shall not eate of euery 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 vnto the serpent, We eate of the fruite of the trees of the garden,
Mwanamke akamjibu nyoka, “Tunaweza kula matunda ya miti iliyoko bustanini,
3 But of the fruite of the tree which is in the middes of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eate of it, neither shall ye touche it, lest ye die.
lakini Mungu alisema, ‘Kamwe msile tunda la mti ulio katikati ya bustani, wala kuugusa, la sivyo mtakufa.’”
4 Then the serpent said to the woman, Ye shall not die at all,
Lakini nyoka akamwambia mwanamke, “Hakika hamtakufa.
5 But God doeth knowe, that when ye shall eate thereof, your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and euill.
Kwa maana Mungu anajua ya kuwa wakati mtakapoyala, macho yenu yatafumbuliwa, nanyi mtakuwa kama Mungu, mkijua mema na mabaya.”
6 So the woman (seeing that the tree was good for meate, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to get knowledge) tooke of the fruite thereof, and did eate, and gaue also to her husband with her, and he did eate.
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 Then the eyes of them both were opened, and they knewe that they were naked, and they sewed figge tree leaues together, and made them selues breeches.
Ndipo macho yao wote wawili yakafumbuliwa, wakajiona kwamba walikuwa uchi; hivyo wakashona majani ya mtini, wakajifunika.
8 Afterward they heard the voyce of the Lord God walking in the garden in the coole of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselues from the presence of the Lord God among 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 But the Lord God called to the man, and said vnto him, Where art thou?
Lakini Bwana Mungu akamwita Adamu, “Uko wapi?”
10 Who saide, I heard thy voyce in the garden, and was afraide: because I was naked, therefore I hid my selfe.
Naye akajibu, “Nilikusikia katika bustani nikaogopa kwa sababu nilikuwa uchi, hivyo nikajificha.”
11 And he saide, Who tolde thee, that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eate?
Mungu akamuuliza, “Ni nani aliyekuambia ya kuwa ulikuwa uchi? Je, umekula matunda ya mti niliokuamuru usile?”
12 Then the man saide, The woman which thou gauest to be with me, she gaue me of the tree, and I did eate.
Adamu akasema, “Huyu mwanamke uliyenipa awe pamoja nami alinipa sehemu ya tunda kutoka kwenye huo mti, nami nikala.”
13 And the Lord God saide to the woman, Why hast thou done this? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eate.
Ndipo Bwana Mungu akamuuliza mwanamke, “Ni nini hili ambalo umelifanya?” Mwanamke akajibu, “Nyoka alinidanganya, nami nikala.”
14 Then the Lord God said to the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed aboue all cattell, and aboue euery beast of the fielde: vpon thy belly shalt thou goe, and dust shalt thou eate all the dayes 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 I will also put enimitie betweene thee and the woman, and betweene thy seede and her seede. He shall breake thine head, and thou shalt bruise his heele.
Nami nitaweka uadui kati yako na huyo mwanamke, na kati ya uzao wako na wake, yeye atakuponda kichwa, nawe utamuuma kisigino.”
16 Vnto the woman he said, I will greatly increase thy sorowes, and thy conceptions. In sorowe shalt thou bring foorth children, and thy desire shalbe subiect to thine husband, and he shall rule ouer thee.
Kwa mwanamke akasema, “Nitakuzidishia sana utungu wakati wa kuzaa kwako; kwa utungu utazaa watoto. Tamaa yako itakuwa kwa mumeo naye atakutawala.”
17 Also to Adam he said, Because thou hast obeyed the voyce of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, (whereof I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eate of it) cursed is the earth for thy sake: in sorowe shalt thou eate of it all the dayes 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 Thornes also, and thistles shall it bring foorth to thee, and thou shalt eate the herbe of the fielde.
Itazaa miiba na mibaruti kwa ajili yako, nawe utakula mimea ya shambani.
19 In the sweate of thy face shalt thou eate bread, till thou returne to the earth: for out of it wast thou taken, because thou art dust, and to dust shalt thou returne.
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 the man called his wiues name Heuah, because she was the mother of all liuing)
Adamu akamwita mkewe Eva, kwa kuwa atakuwa mama wa wote walio hai.
21 Vnto Adam also and to his wife did the Lord God make coates of skinnes, and clothed them.
Bwana Mungu akawatengenezea Adamu na mkewe mavazi ya ngozi, akawavika.
22 And the Lord God said, Beholde, the man is become as one of vs, to knowe good and euill. And nowe lest he put foorth his hand, and take also of ye tree of life and eate and liue for euer,
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 the Lord God sent him foorth from the garden of Eden, to till ye earth, whence he was taken.
Hivyo Bwana Mungu akamfukuzia mbali kutoka Bustani ya Edeni, akalime ardhi ambamo alitolewa.
24 Thus he cast out man, and at the East side of the garden of Eden he set the Cherubims, and the blade of a sworde shaken, to keepe the way of 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.
