< Genesis 3 >

1 And the serpent has been cunning above every beast of the field which YHWH God has made, and he says to the woman, “Is it true that God has said, You do not eat from every tree of 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 And the woman says to the serpent, “From the fruit of the trees of the garden we eat,
Fanm lan reponn sèpan an. Nou gen dwa manje donn tout pyebwa ki nan jaden an.
3 but from the fruit of the tree which [is] in the midst of the garden, God has said, You do not eat of it, nor touch it, lest you 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 And the serpent says to the woman, “Dying, you do not die,
Lè sa a, sèpan an di fanm lan. Se pa vre. Nou p'ap mouri kras.
5 for God knows that in the day of your eating of it—your eyes have been opened, and you have been as God, knowing good and 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 And the woman sees that the tree [is] good for food, and that it [is] pleasant to the eyes, and the tree is desirable to make [one] wise, and she takes from its fruit and eats, and also gives [some] to her husband with her, and he eats;
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 and the eyes of them both are opened, and they know that they [are] naked, and they sew fig-leaves, and make girdles for themselves.
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 And they hear the sound of YHWH God walking up and down in the garden at the breeze of the day, and the man and his wife hide themselves from the face of YHWH God in the midst of 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 And YHWH God calls to the man and says to him, “Where [are] you?”
Men, Seyè a, Bondye a, rele nonm lan, li di l'. Kote ou ye?
10 And he says, “I have heard Your sound in the garden, and I am afraid, for I am naked, and I hide myself.”
Nonm lan reponn li. Mwen tande vwa ou nan jaden an, mwen pè. M al kache pou ou, paske mwen toutouni.
11 And He says, “Who has declared to you that you [are] naked? Have you eaten from the tree of which I have commanded you not to eat?”
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 And the man says, “The woman whom You placed with me—she has given to me from the tree, and I eat.”
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 And YHWH God says to the woman, “What [is] this you have done?” And the woman says, “The serpent has caused me to forget, and I eat.”
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 And YHWH God says to the serpent, “Because you have done this, cursed [are] you above all the livestock, and above every beast of the field: on your belly you go, and dust you eat, [for] all days of your life;
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 and I put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her Seed; He bruises your head, and you bruise 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 To the woman He said, “Multiplying I multiply your sorrow and your conception; you will bear children in sorrow, and your desire [is] toward your Man [[or husband]], and He [[or he]] will rule 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 And to the man He said, “Because you have listened to the voice of your wife, and eat from the tree concerning which I have charged you, saying, You do not eat of it, cursed [is] the ground on your account; in sorrow you eat of it [for] all days of your 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 and it brings forth thorn and bramble for you, and you have eaten the herb of the field;
Tè a va kale tout kalite pikan ak pengwen ba ou. W'a manje fèy ki pouse nan raje.
19 by the sweat of your face you eat bread until your return to the ground, for you have been taken out of it, for dust you [are], and to dust you return.”
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 And the man calls his wife’s name Eve, for she has been mother of all living.
Adan bay madanm li non, li rele l' Ev, paske se li menm ki manman tout moun k'ap viv sou tè a.
21 And YHWH God makes coats of skin [for] the man and his wife, and clothes them.
Lè sa a, Seyè a, Bondye a, pran po bèt, li fè rad pou Adan ansanm ak madanm li, li biye yo.
22 And YHWH God says, “Behold, the man was as one of Us, as to the knowledge of good and evil; and now, lest he send forth his hand, and has also taken from the Tree of Life, and eaten, and lived for all time.”
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 YHWH God sends him forth from the Garden of Eden to serve the ground from which he has been taken;
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 indeed, He casts out the man, and causes the cherubim to dwell at the east of the Garden of Eden with the sword of flame whirling around to guard the way of 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.
