Genesis 3
1 Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said to the woman, Yes, has God said, You shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
Sasa nyoka alikuwa mwerevu kuliko myama mwingine yeyote wa kondeni ambaye Yahwe Mungu alikuwa amemuumba. Akamwambia mwanamke, “Je ni kweli Mungu amesema, 'Msile matunda kutoka kwenye mti wowote bustanini'?”
2 And the woman said to the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:
Mwanamke akamwambia nyoka, “Twaweza kula tunda kutoka kwenye miti ya bustani,
3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the middle of the garden, God has said, You shall not eat of it, neither shall you touch it, lest you die.
lakini kuhusu tunda la mti ambao uko katikati ya bustani, Mungu alisema, 'msile, wala msiuguse, vinginevyo mtakufa.'”
4 And the serpent said to the woman, You shall not surely die:
Nyoka akamwambia mwanamke, “hakika hamtakufa.
5 For God does know that in the day you eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and you shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
Kwasababu Mungu anajua kwamba siku mkila macho yenu yatafumbuliwa, na mtakuwa kama Mungu, mkijua mema na mabaya.”
6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also to her husband with her; and he did eat.
Na mwanamke alipoona kuwa mti ni mzuri kwa chakula, na kuwa unapendeza macho, na kwamba mti ulitamanika kwa kumfanya mtu awe mwerevu, alichukua sehemu ya tunda na akala. Na sehemu yake pia akampatia mumewe aliyekuwa naye, naye akala.
7 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.
Macho ya wote wawili yalifumbuliwa, na wakajua kuwa wako uchi. Wakashona majani ya miti pamoja na wakatengeneza vya kujifunika wao wenyewe.
8 And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God among the trees of the garden.
Wakasikia sauti ya Yahwe Mungu akitembea bustanini majira ya kupoa kwa jua, kwa hiyo mwanaume na mke wake wakajificha wao wenyewe kwenye miti ya bustani kuepuka uwepo wa Yahwe Mungu.
9 And the LORD God called to Adam, and said to him, Where are you?
Yahwe Mungu akamuita mwanaume na kumwambia, “uko wapi?”
10 And he said, I heard your voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.
Mwanaume akasema, “nilikusikia bustanini, na nkaogopa, kwa sababu nilikuwa uchi. kwa hiyo nikajificha.”
11 And he said, Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded you that you should not eat?
Mungu akasema, “Ni nani alikwambia kuwa ulikuwa uchi? Je umekula kutoka mti ambao nilikuagiza usile matunda yake?”
12 And the man said, The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.
Mwanaume akasema, “Mwanamke uliyenipa kuwa na mimi, alinipatia tunda kutoka kwenye mti, na nikala.”
13 And the LORD God said to the woman, What is this that you have done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.
Yahwe Mungu akamwambia mwanamke, “Nini hiki ulichofanya?” mwanamke akasema, “nyoka alinidanganya, na nikala.”
14 And the LORD God said to the serpent, Because you have done this, you are cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; on your belly shall you go, and dust shall you eat all the days of your life:
Yahwe Mungu akamwambia nyoka, “kwa sababu umefanya jambo hili, umelaaniwa wewe mwenyewe miongoni mwa wanyama wote wa kufugwa na wanyama wote wa mwituni. Itakuwa kwa tumbo lako utakwenda, na mavumbi utakula kwa siku zote za maisha yako.
15 And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed; it shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel.
Nitaweka uadui kati yako na mwanamke, na kati ya uzao wako na uzao wake. Atakujeruhi kichwa chako na utamjeruhi kisigino chake.”
16 To the woman he said, I will greatly multiply your sorrow and your conception; in sorrow you shall bring forth children; and your desire shall be to your husband, and he shall rule over you.
Kwa mwanamke akasema, nitaongeza uchungu wakati wa kuzaa watoto; itakuwa katika maumivu utazaa watoto. Tamaa yako itakua kwa mume wako, lakini atakutawala.”
17 And to Adam he said, Because you have listened to the voice of your wife, and have eaten of the tree, of which I commanded you, saying, You shall not eat of it: cursed is the ground for your sake; in sorrow shall you eat of it all the days of your life;
Kwa Adam akasema, “kwa sababu umesikiliza sauti ya mke wako, na umekula kutoka katika mti, ambao nilikuagiza, nikisema, “usile matunda yake', ardhi imelaaniwa kwa sababu yako; kupitia kazi yenye maumivu utakula matunda ya ardhi kwa siku zote za maisha yako.
18 Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to you; and you shall eat the herb of the field;
Ardhi itazaa miiba na mbigili kwa ajili yako, na utakula mimea ya shambani.
19 In the sweat of your face shall you eat bread, till you return to the ground; for out of it were you taken: for dust you are, and to dust shall you return.
Kwa jasho la uso wako utakula mkate, mpaka utakapo irudia ardhi, ambayo kwayo ulitwaliwa. kwa kuwa wewe ni mavumbi na kwenye mavumbi utarudi.”
20 And Adam called his wife’s name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.
Mwanaume akaita mke wake jina Hawa kwa sababu alikuwa mama wa wote wenye uhai.
21 To Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them.
Yahwe Mungu akatengeneza mavazi ya ngozi kwa ajili ya Adam na mke wake na akawavalisha.
22 And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:
Yahwe Mungu akasema, “sasa mtu huyu amekuwa kama mmoja wetu, ajuaye mema na mabaya. Kwa hiyo sasa hataruhusiwa kugusa kwa mkono wake, na kuchukua tunda la mti wa uzima, na kula akaishi tena milele.”
23 Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from where he was taken.
Kwa hiyo Yahwe Mungu akamuondoa kutoka kwenye bustani ya Edeni, kwenda kulima ardhi ambayo kwahiyo alikuwa ametwaliwa.
24 So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubim, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.
Kwa hiyo Mungu akamfukuza mtu huyu nje ya bustani, na akaweka kerubi mashariki mwa bustani ya Edeni, na upanga wa moto ulio geuka geuka kila upande, ili kulinda njia ya kwenda kwenye mti wa uzima.
