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’?”
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 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.’”
Mwasi azongisaki epai ya nyoka: — Toliaka bambuma ya banzete ya elanga.
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 The snake said to the woman, “No, you will certainly not die. God said that
Nyoka alobaki na mwasi: — Solo penza, bokokufa te.
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.”
Pamba te Nzambe ayebi malamu ete mokolo oyo bokolia yango, miso na bino ekofungwama mpe bokokoma lokola Ye: koyeba malamu na mabe.
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.
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 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.
Mbala moko, miso na bango mibale efungwamaki, mpe basosolaki ete bazali bolumbu. Boye, basangisaki makasa ya nzete ya figi mpe bamizipaki.
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].
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 But Yahweh God called to the man, saying to him, “Why are you [trying to hide from me]?”
Kasi Yawe Nzambe abengaki mobali mpe atunaki ye: — Ozali wapi?
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.”
Azongisaki: — Nayoki makelele ya matambe na Yo kotambola kati na elanga mpe nabangi mpo ete nazali bolumbu; yango wana nabombami.
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]
Nzambe alobaki: — Ndenge nini oyebi ete ozali bolumbu? Boni, oliaki mbuma ya nzete oyo napekisaki yo kolia?
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.”
Adamu azongisaki: — Ezali mwasi oyo opesaki ngai lokola mosungi nde apesaki ngai mbuma ya nzete yango, mpe nalie yango.
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.”
Yawe Nzambe alobaki na mwasi: — Mpo nini osali bongo? Mwasi azongisaki: — Ezali nyoka nde akosaki ngai, mpe naliaki yango.
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.
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 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.”
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 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.”
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 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.
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 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.
Mabele ekobotela yo nzube mpe nzete ya sende. Okolia matiti ya bilanga.
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.”
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 [The man, whose name was] Adam, named his wife Eve, [which means ‘living’], because she became the ancestor of all living people.
Mobali apesaki mwasi na ye kombo « Eva, » pamba te azali mama ya bato nyonso na mokili.
21 Then Yahweh God [killed some animals and] made clothes from their skins for Adam and his wife.
Yawe Nzambe asalelaki Adamu mpe mwasi na ye bilamba ya poso ya nyama mpe alatisaki bango yango.
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]!”
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 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].
Boye, Yawe Nzambe abenganaki ye na elanga ya Edeni mpo ete asala mosala ya mabele epai wapi awutaki.
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].
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.
