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?
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 said unto the serpent, —Of the fruit of the trees of the garden, we may eat;
Mwasi azongisaki epai ya nyoka: — Toliaka bambuma ya banzete ya elanga.
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.
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 said unto the woman, —Ye shall not die,
Nyoka alobaki na mwasi: — Solo penza, bokokufa te.
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.
Pamba te Nzambe ayebi malamu ete mokolo oyo bokolia yango, miso na bino ekofungwama mpe bokokoma lokola Ye: koyeba malamu na mabe.
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.
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 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,
Mbala moko, miso na bango mibale efungwamaki, mpe basosolaki ete bazali bolumbu. Boye, basangisaki makasa ya nzete ya figi mpe bamizipaki.
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.
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 Yahweh God called unto the man, —and said to him, Where art thou?
Kasi Yawe Nzambe abengaki mobali mpe atunaki ye: — Ozali wapi?
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.
Azongisaki: — Nayoki makelele ya matambe na Yo kotambola kati na elanga mpe nabangi mpo ete nazali bolumbu; yango wana nabombami.
11 And he said, Who told thee that, naked, thou wast? Of the tree whereof I commanded thee not to eat, hast thou eaten?
Nzambe alobaki: — Ndenge nini oyebi ete ozali bolumbu? Boni, oliaki mbuma ya nzete oyo napekisaki yo kolia?
12 And the man said, —The woman whom thou didst put with me, she, gave me of the tree, so I did eat.
Adamu azongisaki: — Ezali mwasi oyo opesaki ngai lokola mosungi nde apesaki ngai mbuma ya nzete yango, mpe nalie yango.
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.
Yawe Nzambe alobaki na mwasi: — Mpo nini osali bongo? Mwasi azongisaki: — Ezali nyoka nde akosaki ngai, mpe naliaki yango.
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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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;
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 Thorn also and thistle, shall it shoot forth to thee, —when thou hast come to eat of the herb of the field:
Mabele ekobotela yo nzube mpe nzete ya sende. Okolia matiti ya bilanga.
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.
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 So the man called the name of his wife, Eve, —in that, she, was made mother of every one living.
Mobali apesaki mwasi na ye kombo « Eva, » pamba te azali mama ya bato nyonso na mokili.
21 And Yahweh God made for the man—and for his wife—tunics of skin and clothed them.
Yawe Nzambe asalelaki Adamu mpe mwasi na ye bilamba ya poso ya nyama mpe alatisaki bango yango.
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, —
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 So Yahweh God put him forth from the garden of Eden, —to till the ground wherefrom he had been taken.
Boye, Yawe Nzambe abenganaki ye na elanga ya Edeni mpo ete asala mosala ya mabele epai wapi awutaki.
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.
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.
