< Genesis 3 >

1 Now, the serpent, was more crafty than any living thing of the field which Yahweh God had made, so he said unto the woman, Can it really be that God hath said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
Te vaengah BOEIPA Pathen loh a saii kohong mulhing boeih lakah rhul te tah thaai tih, huta taengah, “Pathen loh, ‘Dum kah thingkung te khat khaw na ca rhoi mahpawh,’ a ti tatak ngawn a?” a ti nah.
2 And the woman said unto the serpent, —Of the fruit of the trees of the garden, we may eat;
Te dongah huta loh rhul taengah, “Dum thing thaih te ka caak rhoi thai.
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.
Tedae Pathen loh, 'Dum laklung kah thing thaih te ca rhoi boeh, taek rhoi boeh, te dongah na duek rhoi ve,’ a ti,” a ti nah.
4 And the serpent said unto the woman, —Ye shall not die,
Tedae rhul loh huta taengah, “Na duek rhoe na duek rhoi mahpawh.
5 For God doth know, that in the day ye eat thereof, then shall your eyes be opened, —and ye shall become like God, knowing good and evil.
Te te na caak rhoi khohnin ah na mik khaw tueng vetih a thae a then ming nah khaw Pathen bangla na om rhoi ni tila Pathen loh a ming dongah ni,” a ti nah.
6 And, when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was desirable to the eyes and the tree was pleasant to make one knowing, then took she of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and she gave to her husband also, along with her, and he did eat.
Huta long khaw caak ham koi thing then la, mik ham khaw hoehhamnah koi la a hmuh. Te vaengah a lungming la om ham thing te a nai. Te dongah a thaih te a loh tih a caak. Te phoeiah a taengkah a va te khaw a paek tih a caak.
7 Then were opened the eyes of them both, and they knew that, naked, they were, —so they tacked together fig-leaves, and made for themselves girdles,
Te phoeiah amih rhoi kah mik te bok tueng tih pumtling la a om rhoi te a ming rhoi. Te dongah thaibu hawn te a hui rhoi tih amamih rhoi ham hni la a saii rhoi.
8 Then heard they the sound of Yahweh God, walking to and fro in the garden at the breeze of the day, —so he hid himself—the man with his wife, from the face of Yahweh God, amid the trees of the garden.
BOEIPA Pathen kah ol tah te khohnin kah khohli neh dum khuiah a caeh te a yaak rhoi. Te dongah Adam neh a yuu tah BOEIPA Pathen mikhmuh kah, dum lamloh thingkung lakli ah thuh uh rhoi.
9 And Yahweh God called unto the man, —and said to him, Where art thou?
Tedae BOEIPA Pathen loh hlang tongpa te a khue tih a taengah, “Melam na om,” a ti nah.
10 And he said, The sound of thee, heard I in the garden, and I was afraid, for, naked, was I, so I hid myself.
Tongpa loh, “Dum ah na ol ka yaak dae kai pumtling dongah ni ka rhih tih ka thuh,” a ti nah.
11 And he said, Who told thee that, naked, thou wast? Of the tree whereof I commanded thee not to eat, hast thou eaten?
Te dongah Boeipa loh, “Nang pumtling ni tila nang taengah ulae aka puen? Caak ham moenih tila nang kan uen thingkung te na caak nama?” a ti nah.
12 And the man said, —The woman whom thou didst put with me, she, gave me of the tree, so I did eat.
Te vaengah tongpa loh, “Huta te kai taengah nan paek coeng ta, anih loh thing te kai taengah m'paek dongah ni ka caak,” a ti nah.
13 Then said Yahweh God to the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, the serpent, deceived me, so I did eat.
Te dongah BOEIPA Pathen loh huta te, “Hekah he metlam na saii,” a ti nah hatah huta loh, “Rhul loh kai n'rhaithi tih ka caak,” a ti nah.
14 Then said Yahweh God unto the serpent—Because thou hast done this, Accursed, art thou above every tame-beast, and above every wild-beast of the field, —on thy belly, shalt thou go, and dust, shalt thou eat all the days of thy life.
Te dongah BOEIPA Pathen loh rhul taengah, “Hetla na saii dongah nang tah rhamsa boeih lakah khaw, kohong kah mulhing boeih lakah khaw, thaephoei thil la na om coeng. Na bung neh na colh vetih na hing tue khuiah laipi na caak ni.
15 And enmity, will I put between thee, and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed, —He shall crush thy head, but, thou, shalt crush his heel.
Nang laklo neh huta laklo ah khaw, nang kah tiingan laklo neh anih kah tiingan laklo ah khaw, thunkha thunhling ka khueh vetih anih loh na lu ham phop ni. Nang long khaw anih kah khomik te na tuk pah ni,” a ti nah.
16 Unto the woman, he said, I will, increase, thy pain of pregnancy, In pain, shalt thou bear children, —Yet, unto thy husband, shall be thy longing, Though, he, rule over thee.
Pathen loh huta taengah, “Na thatlohnah neh na rhumpum te ka pungtai rhoela ka pungtai sak ni. Patangnah neh camoe na cun ni. Na lungdueknah te na va ham vetih anih loh nang soah n'taemrhai ni,” a ti nah.
17 And, to the man, he said, Because thou didst hearken to the voice of thy wife, and so didst eat of the tree as to which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it, Accursed be the ground for thy sake, In pain, shalt thou eat of it, all the days of thy life;
Adam te khaw, “Na yuu ol te na hnatang nah. Te dongah, 'Ca boeh ka ti, ' tih nang kan uen lalah, thingkung lamkah te na caak. Te dongah diklai he nang kong ah thae ka phoei thil coeng. Na hing tue khuiah thatlohnah nen ni buh na caak eh.
18 Thorn also and thistle, shall it shoot forth to thee, —when thou hast come to eat of the herb of the field:
Hling neh lota khaw nang ham daih vetih kohong kah baelhing te na caak ni.
19 In the sweat of thy face, shalt thou eat bread, until thou return to the ground, because therefrom, wast thou taken, —For, dust, thou art, And, unto dust, shalt thou return.
Na talung kah hlantui loh diklai la na bo sak daengah ni buh na caak eh. Laipi lamkah nang n'loh dongah laipi la na bal van ni,” a ti nah.
20 So the man called the name of his wife, Eve, —in that, she, was made mother of every one living.
Te phoeiah Adam yuu te aka hing boeih kah a manu la a om ham dongah a ming te Eve tila a sui.
21 And Yahweh God made for the man—and for his wife—tunics of skin and clothed them.
Te daengah BOEIPA Pathen loh Adam ham neh a yuu ham maehpho angkidung te a saii pah tih amih rhoi te a bai sak.
22 Then said Yahweh God—Lo! man, hath become like one of us, in respect of knowing good and evil, —Now, therefore, lest he thrust forth his hand, and take even of the tree of life, and eat, and live to times age-abiding, —
Te phoeiah BOEIPA Pathen loh, “Hlang he a then khaw a thae khaw ming ham mamih khuikah pakhat phek la ha om coeng he. Tahae ah a kut a yueng tih hingnah thing khaw a loh dongah kumhal hing ham ca lah ve,” a ti.
23 So Yahweh God put him forth from the garden of Eden, —to till the ground wherefrom he had been taken.
Te dongah BOEIPA Pathen loh anih te Eden dum lamkah a tueih. Te lamkah ni khohmuen aka tawn ham a loh.
24 So he expelled the man, —and caused to dwell—in front of the garden of Eden—cherubim and a brandishing sword—flame, to keep the way to the tree of life.
Hlang te khaw a haek coeng tih hingnah thingkung longpuei aka hung ham cherubim neh hmaitak cunghang aka tinghil te Eden dum kah khothoeng ah a khueh.
