< 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?”
Nzokande, kati na banyama nyonso ya zamba oyo Yawe Nzambe akelaki, nyoka nde elekaki na mayele mabe. Alobaki na mwasi: — Nzambe alobaki na bino solo ete bolia mbuma ata moko te ya banzete ya elanga?
2 And the woman says to the serpent, “From the fruit of the trees of the garden we eat,
Mwasi azongisaki epai ya nyoka: — Toliaka bambuma ya banzete ya elanga.
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.”
Kasi na oyo etali mbuma ya nzete oyo ezali na kati-kati ya elanga, Nzambe alobaki: « Bosengeli te kolia yango, mpe bosengeli te kosimba yango; noki te bokokufa. »
4 And the serpent says to the woman, “Dying, you do not die,
Nyoka alobaki na mwasi: — Solo penza, bokokufa te.
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.”
Pamba te Nzambe ayebi malamu ete mokolo oyo bokolia yango, miso na bino ekofungwama mpe bokokoma lokola Ye: koyeba malamu na mabe.
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;
Mwasi amonaki ete mbuma ya nzete ezali elengi mpo na kolia, kitoko mpo na kotala mpe malamu mpo na kofungola mayele. Boye azwaki mbuma mpe aliaki yango. Apesaki yango mpe na mobali na ye, oyo azalaki elongo na ye; bongo ye mpe mobali aliaki yango.
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.
Mbala moko, miso na bango mibale efungwamaki, mpe basosolaki ete bazali bolumbu. Boye, basangisaki makasa ya nzete ya figi mpe bamizipaki.
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.
Na pokwa, bayokaki makelele ya matambe ya Yawe Nzambe kotambola kati na elanga. Boye, mobali mpe mwasi babombamaki kati na banzete ya elanga mpo na kokima Yawe.
9 And YHWH God calls to the man and says to him, “Where [are] you?”
Kasi Yawe Nzambe abengaki mobali mpe atunaki ye: — Ozali wapi?
10 And he says, “I have heard Your sound in the garden, and I am afraid, for I am naked, and I hide myself.”
Azongisaki: — Nayoki makelele ya matambe na Yo kotambola kati na elanga mpe nabangi mpo ete nazali bolumbu; yango wana nabombami.
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?”
Nzambe alobaki: — Ndenge nini oyebi ete ozali bolumbu? Boni, oliaki mbuma ya nzete oyo napekisaki yo kolia?
12 And the man says, “The woman whom You placed with me—she has given to me from the tree, and I eat.”
Adamu azongisaki: — Ezali mwasi oyo opesaki ngai lokola mosungi nde apesaki ngai mbuma ya nzete yango, mpe nalie yango.
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.”
Yawe Nzambe alobaki na mwasi: — Mpo nini osali bongo? Mwasi azongisaki: — Ezali nyoka nde akosaki ngai, mpe naliaki yango.
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;
Boye Yawe Nzambe alobaki na nyoka: « Lokola osali bongo, olakelami mabe kati na bibwele mpe banyama nyonso ya zamba. Okotambola na libumu mpe okobanda kolia putulu bomoi na yo mobimba.
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.”
Nakotia koyinana kati na yo mpe mwasi, mpe kati na bakitani na yo mpe bakitani na ye. Bakitani ya mwasi bakonyata moto na yo, mpe yo okoswa bango na litindi. »
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.”
Nzambe alobaki na mwasi: « Nakobakisa pasi na zemi na yo; okobota na pasi. Posa na yo ekomema yo epai ya mobali na yo, kasi ye akozala mokonzi na yo. »
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,
Yawe Nzambe alobaki na Adamu: « Lokola oyokelaki mwasi na yo mpe oliaki mbuma ya nzete oyo, na tina na yango, napesaki yo mobeko oyo: ‹ Kolia yango te, › mabele elakelami mabe likolo na yo. Bomoi na yo mobimba, okolia na motoki na yo.
18 and it brings forth thorn and bramble for you, and you have eaten the herb of the field;
Mabele ekobotela yo nzube mpe nzete ya sende. Okolia matiti ya bilanga.
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.”
Okolia lipa na yo na motoki ya elongi na yo kino okozonga na mabele epai wapi owutaki, pamba te ozali putulu mpe okozonga na putulu. »
20 And the man calls his wife’s name Eve, for she has been mother of all living.
Mobali apesaki mwasi na ye kombo « Eva, » pamba te azali mama ya bato nyonso na mokili.
21 And YHWH God makes coats of skin [for] the man and his wife, and clothes them.
Yawe Nzambe asalelaki Adamu mpe mwasi na ye bilamba ya poso ya nyama mpe alatisaki bango yango.
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.”
Yawe Nzambe alobaki: « Tala, moto akomi lokola moko kati na biso mpo na koyeba malamu mpe mabe. Sik’oyo, esengeli te kopesa ye nzela ya kotia loboko na ye mpo na kozwa lisusu mbuma ya nzete ya bomoi mpe kolia yango, noki te awumela libela na bomoi. »
23 YHWH God sends him forth from the Garden of Eden to serve the ground from which he has been taken;
Boye, Yawe Nzambe abenganaki ye na elanga ya Edeni mpo ete asala mosala ya mabele epai wapi awutaki.
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.
Sima na kobengana moto, atiaki basheribe, na ngambo ya este ya elanga ya Edeni, na mopanga ya moto oyo ezalaki kobaluka bipai na bipai mpo na kobatela nzela ya nzete ya bomoi.
