Genesis 3
1 Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made; and he said unto the woman, Hath God indeed said, Ye 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 unto 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 midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
lakini kuhusu tunda la mti ambao uko katikati ya bustani, Mungu alisema, 'msile, wala msiuguse, vinginevyo mtakufa.'”
4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye will surely not die;
Nyoka akamwambia mwanamke, “hakika hamtakufa.
5 For God doth know, that, on the day ye eat thereof, your eyes will be opened, and ye will be as God, 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 the tree was desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit, and did eat, and gave also unto 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 both of them were opened, and they felt 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 the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God amongst 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 unto the man, and said unto him, Where art thou?
Yahwe Mungu akamuita mwanaume na kumwambia, “uko wapi?”
10 And he said, Thy voice I heard in the garden; and I was afraid, because I am naked; and I hid myself.
Mwanaume akasema, “nilikusikia bustanini, na nkaogopa, kwa sababu nilikuwa uchi. kwa hiyo nikajificha.”
11 And he said, Who told thee that thou art naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest 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 thou gavest 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 unto the woman, What is this that thou hast 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 unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, be thou cursed above all the cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy 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 thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; he shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt wound his heel.
Nitaweka uadui kati yako na mwanamke, na kati ya uzao wako na uzao wake. Atakujeruhi kichwa chako na utamjeruhi kisigino chake.”
16 Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy pain and [the suffering of] thy conception; in pain shalt thou bring forth children; and for thy husband shall be thy desire, but he shall rule over thee.
Kwa mwanamke akasema, nitaongeza uchungu wakati wa kuzaa watoto; itakuwa katika maumivu utazaa watoto. Tamaa yako itakua kwa mume wako, lakini atakutawala.”
17 And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it; cursed be the ground for thy sake; in pain shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy 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 And thorns and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herbs of the field.
Ardhi itazaa miiba na mbigili kwa ajili yako, na utakula mimea ya shambani.
19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground, for out of it wast thou taken; for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou 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 the man called his wife's name Eve [[Chavvah]]; because she was the mother of all living [[Chay]].
Mwanaume akaita mke wake jina Hawa kwa sababu alikuwa mama wa wote wenye uhai.
21 And the Lord God made unto Adam and to his wife 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 which 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 the Cherubim, and the flaming sword which revolveth, to guard the way to 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.
