< Genesis 3 >

1 The snake was more cunning than all the other wild animals that Yahweh God had made. [One day Satan gave to] the snake [the ability to talk to the woman]. The snake said to her, “Did God really say to you, ‘Do not eat the fruit from any of the trees in the park/garden’?”
To thuol ne riek moloyo le duto mag bungu mane Jehova Nyasaye ochweyo. Omiyo nopenjo dhako niya, “Bende en adier ni Nyasaye nowacho ni, ‘Kik ucham olemb yien moro amora manie puodho?’”
2 The woman replied, “[What God said was], ‘Do not eat the fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the park/garden or touch it. If you do that, you will die. But you can eat fruit from any of the other trees.’”
Dhako nodwoko thuol niya, “Wanyalo chamo olembe mag yiende manie puodho duto,
3
makmana Nyasaye nosiemowa ni, ‘Kik ucham olemo mar yien man e dier puodhono, kendo kik umule nono to ubiro tho.’”
4 The snake said to the woman, “No, you will certainly not die. God said that
Thuol nowacho ne dhako niya, “Adier ok unutho.
5 [only] because he knows that when you eat fruit from that tree, [you will understand new things. It will be as though] your eyes are opened [MET], and you will know what is good [to do] and what is evil [to do], just as God does.”
Nikech Nyasaye ongʼeyo ni sa ma unuchame wengeu noyepi kendo unubed machal gi Nyasaye, kungʼeyo ber gi rach.”
6 The woman saw that the fruit on that tree was good to eat, and it was very beautiful, and she desired it because [she thought] it would make her wise. So she picked some of the fruit and ate it. Then she gave some to her husband, and he ate it.
Kane dhako oneno ni olemb yien-no ne ber kuom chiemo kendo moro wangʼ kendo nyalo miyo ibed gi rieko, nokawo moko mochamo, to bangʼe nomiyo chwore ma en bende nochame.
7 Immediately [it was as though] their eyes were opened, and they realized that they were naked, so they were ashamed. So they [picked] some fig leaves and fastened them together to make clothes for themselves.
Eka wengegi noyepo kendo negifwenyo ni gin duge; kuom mano negikawo it ngʼowu kendo giumogo dugegi.
8 [Late that afternoon], when a cool breeze was blowing, they heard the sound/footsteps of Yahweh as he was walking in the park/garden. So the man and his wife hid themselves among the bushes in the park/garden, [so that Yahweh God would not see them].
Eka Adam kod chiege nowinjo dwond Jehova Nyasaye kawuotho e puodho e seche mag angʼich welo kendo ne gipondo ne Jehova Nyasaye e kind yiende manie puodho.
9 But Yahweh God called to the man, saying to him, “Why are you [trying to hide from me]?”
To Jehova Nyasaye noluongo Adam mopenje niya, “In kanye?”
10 The man replied, “I heard the sound of your [footsteps/walking] in the garden, and I was naked, so I was afraid and I hid myself.”
Nodwoko niya, “Ne awinji e puodho kendo luoro nomaka nikech ne an duk, koro ne apondo.”
11 God said, “How did you find out you were naked [RHQ]? It must be because you ate some of the fruit [from the tree] that I told you, ‘Do not eat its fruit.’” [RHQ]
Kendo Jehova Nyasaye nowachone niya, “En ngʼa manonyisi ni in duk? Dibed ni isechamo olemb yien mane akweri ni kik icham?”
12 The man said, “You gave me this woman to be with me. She is the one who gave me some of the fruit from that tree, and so I ate it.”
Adam nodwoke niya, “Dhako mane imiya ema nomiya olemo moko moa e yien-no kendo achamo.”
13 Then Yahweh God said to the woman, “Why did you do such a thing?” The woman replied, “I ate some of the fruit because the snake deceived me.”
Eka Jehova Nyasaye nopenjo dhako niya, “Ma en angʼo ma isetimo?” Dhako nodwoke niya, “Thuol nowuonda, mi achamo olemo.”
14 Then Yahweh God said to the snake, “Because you did this, of all the livestock and the wild animals, I will curse/punish you alone. As a result, you [and all other snakes] will scurry across the ground on your bellies, and so what you eat will have dirt [on it] as long as you live.
Kuom mano Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne thuol niya, “Nikech isetimo ma, “Okwongʼi moloyo le duto kendo gige buya duto! Ibiro lak gi bund iyi kendo ibiro chamo buru, ndalo duto mag ngimani.
15 And I will cause you and the woman to act in a hostile way toward each other, and I will cause your brood and her descendants to act hostilely toward each other. You will strike at the heel [of one descendant] of hers, but he will strike your head.”
Kendo anaket sigu e kindi gi dhako, kendo e kind kothe gi kothi; en noto wiyi, to in to nika ofunj tiende.”
16 Then Yahweh said to the woman, “You will have great pain when you give birth to children; you will suffer great pain as your children are being born [DOU]. You will greatly desire your husband [to show affection for you], but he will rule over you.”
Dhako to ne owachone niya, “Anamedni rem malich e kindeni mag nywol; adier ininywol nyithindo gi rem. Dwaroni nobed mana kuom chwori bende enobed gi teko kuomi.”
17 Then Yahweh said to the man, “You heeded what your wife said, and you ate some of the fruit [of the tree] concerning which I commanded you saying, ‘Do not eat it.’ So I will make it difficult [to grow things in] the ground because of what you did. You will have to work hard as long as you live to produce things from the ground to eat.
To Adam to ne owachone niya, “Nikech ne iwinjo chiegi kendo ichamo olemb yath mane akweri ni, ‘Kik icham olembe,’ “Okwongʼ lowo nikech in, kuom tich matek, ibiro chiemo koa kuom lowo, ndalo duto mag ngimani.
18 Thornbushes and thistle plants and other weeds will grow [and prevent what you have planted from growing]. And for food, you will have to eat things that just grow in your fields.
Enonyagni kit kuthe mopogore opogore kendo ibiro chamo alode manie thim.
19 [All your life] you will sweat as you work hard to produce food to eat. Then you will die [EUP], and your [body will be buried] in the ground. [I made] you from soil, so when you [die and are buried your body will decay] and become soil again.”
Inicham chiembi mana kuom luchi, nyaka idog e lowo nikech kanyo ema ne ogolie, nimar in lowo kendo lowo ema nidogie.”
20 [The man, whose name was] Adam, named his wife Eve, [which means ‘living’], because she became the ancestor of all living people.
Adam nochako chiege ni Hawa nikech nobiro bedo min ji duto.
21 Then Yahweh God [killed some animals and] made clothes from their skins for Adam and his wife.
Jehova Nyasaye noloso lewni mag pien ne Adam kod chiege kendo noumogi.
22 Then Yahweh said, “Look! Those two have become like us because they know what is good [to do] and what is evil [to do]. So now, it will not be good if they reach out and pick and eat [some of the fruit from] the tree [which enables people who eat it] to live [forever]!”
Kendo Jehova Nyasaye nowacho niya, “Dhano koro osebedo machal kodwa, kongʼeyo ber kod rach. Kik yiene mondo oter lwete kendo okaw olemb ngima kendo ocham madimi odag nyaka chiengʼ.”
23 So Yahweh God expelled the man and his wife from the garden of Eden. Yahweh God had created Adam from the ground, but now he forced him to till that ground [so that he could grow food to eat].
Omiyo Jehova Nyasaye noriembe e Puodho mar Eden mondo opur lowo kamane ogole.
24 After Yahweh expelled them, on the east side of the garden he placed (cherubim/creatures with wings) and [an angel holding] a flaming sword which flashed back and forth. He did that in order to block the entrance to the garden, so that people could not go back to the tree that enables people [who eat its fruit] to live [forever].
Bangʼ kane oseriembo Adam oko, ne oketo kerubi gi ligangla mamil koni gi koni yo wuok chiengʼ mar Puodho Mar Eden mondo orit yo mochomo yadh ngima.
