< Genesis 3 >

1 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of any tree of the garden?
Kale nno omusota gwali mukalabakalaba okukira ensolo zonna ez’omu nsiko, Mukama Katonda ze yatonda. Ne gugamba omukazi nti, “Kazzi Katonda yagamba nti, ‘Temulyanga ku muti gwonna ogw’omu nnimiro!’”
2 And the woman said unto the serpent, Of the fruit of the trees of the garden we may eat:
Omukazi n’addamu omusota nti, “Tulya ku buli muti ogw’omu nnimiro,
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.
kyokka Katonda yatulagira nti, ‘Temulyanga ku kibala ky’omuti oguli wakati mu nnimiro, wadde okugukwatako, muleme okufa.’”
4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
Naye omusota ne gugamba omukazi nti, “Temugenda kufa.
5 for God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as God, knowing good and evil.
Kubanga Katonda amanyi nga lwe muligulyako amaaso gammwe lwe galizibuka, era mulifaanana nga ye, okumanyanga ekirungi n’ekibi.”
6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat; and she gave also unto her husband with her, and he did eat.
Awo omukazi bwe yalaba ng’omuti mulungi nga gusanyusa okutunulako era gwegombebwa okuleeta amagezi, n’anoga ekibala kyagwo n’alya; n’awaako ne bba naye n’alya.
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.
Awo amaaso gaabwe bombi ne gazibuka, ne bategeera nga baali bwereere; ne baluka amalagala g’emiti ne beekolera ebyokwambala.
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.
Awo ne bawulira eddoboozi lya Mukama Katonda ng’atambula mu nnimiro, mu budde obuweeweevu. Omusajja n’omukazi ne beekweka mu miti Mukama Katonda aleme okubalaba.
9 And the LORD God called unto the man, and said unto him, Where art thou?
Naye Mukama Katonda n’ayita omusajja nti, “Oli ludda wa?”
10 And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.
N’addamu nti, “Mpulidde eddoboozi lyo mu nnimiro, ne ntya, kubanga mbadde bwereere; ne nneekweka.”
11 And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?
N’amubuuza nti, “Ani akubuulidde nti oli bwereere? Olidde ku muti gwe nakulagira obutagulyangako?”
12 And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.
Omusajja n’addamu nti, “Omukazi gwe wampa okubeeranga nange y’ampadde ekibala ne ndya.”
13 And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.
Mukama Katonda kwe kubuuza omukazi nti, “Kiki kino ky’okoze?” Omukazi n’addamu nti, “Omusota gwe gunsenzesenze ne ndya.”
14 And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, cursed art thou above all 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:
Mukama Katonda n’agamba omusota nti, Kubanga okoze kino okolimiddwa okukira ensolo zonna ez’awaka n’ez’omu nsiko, oneekululiranga ku lubuto lwo era onoolyanga nfuufu ennaku zonna ez’obulamu bwo.
15 and I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed: it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
Nteeka obulabe wakati wo n’omukazi, ne wakati w’ezzadde lyo n’ezzadde ly’omukazi; ezzadde lye linaakubetentanga omutwe, naawe onoolibojjanga ekisinziiro.
16 Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.
N’agamba omukazi nti, “Nnaayongeranga nnyo ku bulumi bwo ng’oli lubuto, onoozaaliranga mu bulumi; musajja wo anaakukoleranga bye weetaaga kyokka anaakufuganga.”
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 is the ground for thy sake; in toil shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;
N’agamba Adamu nti, “Kubanga owulidde eddoboozi lya mukazi wo, n’olya ku muti gwe nakulagira obutagulyangako, “ensi ekolimiddwa ku lulwo; mu ntuuyo zo mw’onoofuniranga ekyokulya ennaku zonna ez’obulamu bwo.
18 thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field;
Ensi eneekumerezanga amaggwa n’amatovu, onoolyanga ebibala eby’omu nnimiro.
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.
Mu ntuuyo zo mw’onoggyanga ekyokulya, okutuusa lw’olidda mu ttaka mwe wava, kubanga oli nfuufu ne mu nfuufu mw’olidda.”
20 And the man called his wife’s name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.
Omusajja n’atuuma omukazi erinnya Kaawa, oyo ye nnyina w’abalamu bonna.
21 And the LORD God made for Adam and for his wife coats of skins, and clothed them.
Mukama Katonda n’akolera Adamu ne mukazi we ebyambalo eby’amaliba n’abambaza.
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:
Awo Mukama Katonda n’agamba nti, “Laba omuntu afuuse ng’omu ku ffe okumanyanga ekirungi n’ekibi; kale kaakano talwa kugolola mukono gwe n’anoga ku muti ogw’obulamu n’alya, n’awangaala emirembe gyonna.”
23 therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.
Bw’atyo Mukama Katonda n’agoba omuntu mu nnimiro Adeni agende alimenga ettaka mwe yaggyibwa.
24 So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden the Cherubim, and the flame of a sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.
Bwe yamala okugobamu omuntu, n’ateekamu Bakerubi n’ekitala ekimyansa eky’obwogi ku buli ludda okukuuma ekkubo erigenda ku muti ogw’obulamu.
