< 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’?”
ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ପରମେଶ୍ୱରଙ୍କ ନିର୍ମିତ ଭୂଚର ପଶୁମାନଙ୍କ ମଧ୍ୟରେ ସର୍ପ ସର୍ବାପେକ୍ଷା ଖଳ ଥିଲା। ସେ ନାରୀଙ୍କୁ କହିଲା, “ଆଗୋ, ଏ କି ସତ୍ୟ, ‘ଉଦ୍ୟାନର କୌଣସି ବୃକ୍ଷର ଫଳ ଖାଇବାକୁ ପରମେଶ୍ୱର ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ ନିଷେଧ କରିଅଛନ୍ତି?’”
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.’”
ନାରୀ ସର୍ପକୁ କହିଲେ, “ଆମ୍ଭେମାନେ ଉଦ୍ୟାନର ସମସ୍ତ ବୃକ୍ଷର ଫଳ ଖାଇପାରୁ;
କେବଳ ଉଦ୍ୟାନର ମଧ୍ୟସ୍ଥିତ ବୃକ୍ଷର ଫଳ ବିଷୟରେ ପରମେଶ୍ୱର କହିଅଛନ୍ତି, ‘ତୁମ୍ଭେମାନେ ତାହା ଖାଇବ ନାହିଁ ଓ ଛୁଇଁବ ନାହିଁ, ତାହା କଲେ ମରିବ।’”
4 The snake said to the woman, “No, you will certainly not die. God said that
ସର୍ପ ନାରୀଙ୍କୁ କହିଲା, “ତୁମ୍ଭେମାନେ କୌଣସି ରୂପେ ମରିବ ନାହିଁ;
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.”
ବରଞ୍ଚ ପରମେଶ୍ୱର ଜାଣନ୍ତି, ତୁମ୍ଭେମାନେ ଯେଉଁ ଦିନ ତାହା ଖାଇବ, ସେହି ଦିନ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ଚକ୍ଷୁ ପ୍ରସନ୍ନ ହେବ, ତହିଁରେ ତୁମ୍ଭେମାନେ ପରମେଶ୍ୱରଙ୍କ ପରି ଭଲ ଓ ମନ୍ଦର ଜ୍ଞାନ ପାଇବ।”
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.
ଏଥିରେ ନାରୀ ସେହି ବୃକ୍ଷକୁ ସୁଖାଦ୍ୟର ଉତ୍ପାଦକ ଓ ନୟନର ଲୋଭଜନକ ଓ ଜ୍ଞାନ ଦେବା ନିମିତ୍ତ ବାଞ୍ଛନୀୟ ଦେଖି ତହିଁରୁ ଫଳ ତୋଳି ଖାଇଲେ, ପୁଣି, ଆପଣା ସଙ୍ଗସ୍ଥ ସ୍ୱାମୀଙ୍କୁ ଦିଅନ୍ତେ, ସେ ମଧ୍ୟ ଖାଇଲେ।
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.
ତହିଁରେ ସେମାନଙ୍କ ଚକ୍ଷୁ ପ୍ରସନ୍ନ ହୁଅନ୍ତେ, ସେମାନେ ନିଜ ଉଲଙ୍ଗତାର ବୋଧ ପାଇ ଡିମ୍ବିରି ବୃକ୍ଷର ପତ୍ର ସିଁଇ ଘାଗରା ବନାଇଲେ।
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].
ତହୁଁ ଦିନାବସାନ ସମୟରେ ଉଦ୍ୟାନ ମଧ୍ୟରେ ଗମନାଗମନକାରୀ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ପରମେଶ୍ୱରଙ୍କ ରବ ଶୁଣି ଆଦମ ଓ ତାଙ୍କର ଭାର୍ଯ୍ୟା ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ପରମେଶ୍ୱରଙ୍କ ଛାମୁରୁ ଉଦ୍ୟାନସ୍ଥ ବୃକ୍ଷଗଣ ମଧ୍ୟରେ ଲୁଚିଲେ।
9 But Yahweh God called to the man, saying to him, “Why are you [trying to hide from me]?”
ତହିଁରେ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ପରମେଶ୍ୱର ଆଦମଙ୍କୁ ଡାକି କହିଲେ, “ତୁମ୍ଭେ କେଉଁଠାରେ?”
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.”
ସେ ଉତ୍ତର କଲେ, “ମୁଁ ଉଦ୍ୟାନ ମଧ୍ୟରେ ତୁମ୍ଭ ରବ ଶୁଣି ଆପଣା ଉଲଙ୍ଗତା ସକାଶେ ଭୀତ ହୋଇ ଲୁଚିଲି।”
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]
ପରମେଶ୍ୱର କହିଲେ, “ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଉଲଙ୍ଗ ଅଛ, ଏହା କିଏ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ଜଣାଇଲା? ଆମ୍ଭେ ଯେଉଁ ବୃକ୍ଷର ଫଳ ଖାଇବାକୁ ନିଷେଧ କରିଥିଲୁ, ତାହା କି ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଖାଇଅଛ?”
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.”
ଆଦମ କହିଲେ, “ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଯେଉଁ ସ୍ତ୍ରୀଙ୍କୁ ମୋହର ସଙ୍ଗିନୀ ହେବାକୁ ଦେଇଅଛ, ସେ ମୋତେ ସେହି ବୃକ୍ଷର ଫଳ ଦେଲେ, ତହିଁରେ ମୁଁ ଖାଇଲି।”
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.”
ସେତେବେଳେ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ପରମେଶ୍ୱର ନାରୀଙ୍କୁ କହିଲେ, “ଏ କି କଲ?” ନାରୀ କହିଲେ, “ସର୍ପ ମୋତେ ଭୁଲାଇଲା, ତହିଁରେ ମୁଁ ଖାଇଲି।”
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.
ତହୁଁ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ପରମେଶ୍ୱର ସର୍ପକୁ କହିଲେ, “ଏହି କାର୍ଯ୍ୟ କରିବା ହେତୁ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ସମସ୍ତ ଗ୍ରାମ୍ୟ ଓ ବନ୍ୟପଶୁଠାରୁ ଅଧିକ ଶାପଗ୍ରସ୍ତ ହେଲ, ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଆପଣା ପେଟ ଦେଇ ଗମନ କରିବ ଓ ଯାବଜ୍ଜୀବନ ଧୂଳି ଖାଇବ।
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.”
ଆଉ ଆମ୍ଭେ ତୁମ୍ଭର ଓ ନାରୀର ମଧ୍ୟରେ, ପୁଣି, ତୁମ୍ଭ ବଂଶ ଓ ତାଙ୍କ ବଂଶ ମଧ୍ୟରେ ଶତ୍ରୁତା ଜନ୍ମାଇବା; ସେ ତୁମ୍ଭର ମସ୍ତକକୁ ଆଘାତ କରିବେ ଓ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ତାହାଙ୍କ ଗୋଇଠିକୁ ଆଘାତ କରିବ।”
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.”
ତହୁଁ ସେ ନାରୀଙ୍କୁ କହିଲେ, “ଆମ୍ଭେ ତୁମ୍ଭର ଗର୍ଭବେଦନା ଅତିଶୟ ବଢ଼ାଇବା, ତୁମ୍ଭେ ବ୍ୟଥାରେ ସନ୍ତାନ ପ୍ରସବ କରିବ; ପୁଣି, ସ୍ୱାମୀ ପ୍ରତି ତୁମ୍ଭର ବାସନା ରହିବ, ସେ ତୁମ୍ଭ ଉପରେ କର୍ତ୍ତୃତ୍ୱ କରିବ।”
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.
ଆଉ ସେ ଆଦମଙ୍କୁ କହିଲେ, “ଯେଉଁ ବୃକ୍ଷର ଫଳ ଖାଇବା ବିଷୟରେ ଆମ୍ଭେ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ଆଜ୍ଞା ଦେଇ କହିଥିଲୁ, ତାହା ଖାଇବ ନାହିଁ, ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଆପଣା ଭାର୍ଯ୍ୟାର କଥା ଶୁଣି ତାହା ଖାଇଅଛ; ଏଣୁ ତୁମ୍ଭ ସକାଶୁ ଭୂମି ଶାପଗ୍ରସ୍ତ ହେଲା; ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଯାବଜ୍ଜୀବନ କ୍ଳେଶରେ ତହିଁରୁ ଭକ୍ଷ୍ୟ ପାଇବ।
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.
ତହିଁରେ କଣ୍ଟା ଓ ଗୋଖରା ଗଛ ଜାତ ହେବ, ପୁଣି, ତୁମ୍ଭେ କ୍ଷେତ୍ରର ଶାକ ଭୋଜନ କରିବ।
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.”
ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଯେଉଁ ମୃତ୍ତିକାରୁ ଗୃହୀତ ହେଲ, ତହିଁରେ ନ ମିଶିବା ପର୍ଯ୍ୟନ୍ତ ମୁଖର ଝାଳରେ ଆହାର କରିବ; ଯେହେତୁ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଧୂଳି ଓ ଧୂଳିରେ ପୁନର୍ବାର ମିଶିଯିବ।”
20 [The man, whose name was] Adam, named his wife Eve, [which means ‘living’], because she became the ancestor of all living people.
ଏଥିଉତ୍ତାରେ ଆଦମ ଆପଣା ଭାର୍ଯ୍ୟାର ନାମ ହବା ଦେଲେ, ଯେହେତୁ ସେ ଜୀବିତ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କର ମାତା ହେଲେ।
21 Then Yahweh God [killed some animals and] made clothes from their skins for Adam and his wife.
ଆଉ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ପରମେଶ୍ୱର ଚର୍ମର ବସ୍ତ୍ର ପ୍ରସ୍ତୁତ କରି ଆଦମ ଓ ତାଙ୍କର ଭାର୍ଯ୍ୟାଙ୍କୁ ପିନ୍ଧାଇଲେ।
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]!”
ଏଥିଉତ୍ତାରେ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ପରମେଶ୍ୱର କହିଲେ, “ଦେଖ, ମନୁଷ୍ୟ ଭଲ ଓ ମନ୍ଦର ବୋଧ ପ୍ରାପ୍ତ ହୋଇ ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ପରି ଜଣେ ହୋଇଅଛି, ଆଉ ଏବେ ସେ ଯେପରି ହାତ ବଢ଼ାଇ ଅମୃତ ବୃକ୍ଷର ଫଳ ମଧ୍ୟ ତୋଳି ଖାଇ ଅନନ୍ତଜୀବୀ ନ ହୁଅଇ,”
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].
ଏଥିପାଇଁ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ପରମେଶ୍ୱର ଏଦନ ଉଦ୍ୟାନରୁ ତାଙ୍କୁ ବାହାର କରିଦେଲେ ଓ ସେ ଯେଉଁ ମୃତ୍ତିକାରୁ ନୀତ ହୋଇଥିଲେ, ତହିଁରେ କୃଷିକର୍ମ କରିବାକୁ ତାଙ୍କୁ ନିଯୁକ୍ତ କଲେ।
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].
ଏହିରୂପେ ସେ ଆଦମଙ୍କୁ ତଡ଼ିଦେଲେ; ପୁଣି, ଅମୃତ ବୃକ୍ଷର ପଥ ରକ୍ଷା କରିବା ନିମିତ୍ତ ଏଦନ ଉଦ୍ୟାନର ପୂର୍ବ ଦିଗରେ କିରୂବଗଣ ଓ ଚତୁର୍ଦ୍ଦିଗରେ ଘୂର୍ଣ୍ଣାୟମାନ ତେଜୋମୟ ଖଡ୍ଗ ସ୍ଥାପନ କଲେ।
