< Genesis 3 >

1 Now the serpent was more subtle than any animal of the field which Yahweh God had made. He said to the woman, “Has God really said, ‘You shall not eat of any 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 The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat fruit from the trees of the garden,
Te dongah huta loh rhul taengah, “Dum thing thaih te ka caak rhoi thai.
3 but not the fruit of the tree which is in the middle of the garden. God has said, ‘You shall not eat of it. You shall not touch it, lest you 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 The serpent said to the woman, “You won’t really die,
Tedae rhul loh huta taengah, “Na duek rhoe na duek rhoi mahpawh.
5 for God knows that in the day you eat it, your eyes will be opened, and you will be 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 When the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took some of its fruit, and ate. Then she gave some to her husband with her, and he ate it, too.
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 Their eyes were opened, and they both knew that they were naked. They sewed fig leaves together, and made coverings for themselves.
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 They heard Yahweh God’s voice walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of Yahweh God among 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 Yahweh God called to the man, and said to him, “Where are you?”
Tedae BOEIPA Pathen loh hlang tongpa te a khue tih a taengah, “Melam na om,” a ti nah.
10 The man said, “I heard your voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; 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 God said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?”
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 The man said, “The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me fruit from the tree, and I ate it.”
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 Yahweh God said to the woman, “What have you done?” The woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”
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 Yahweh God said to the serpent, “Because you have done this, you are cursed above all livestock, and above every animal of the field. You shall go on your belly and you shall eat dust all the days of your 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 I will put hostility between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring. He will bruise your head, and you will bruise 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 To the woman he said, “I will greatly multiply your pain in childbirth. You will bear children in pain. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you.”
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 To Adam he said, “Because you have listened to your wife’s voice, and have eaten from the tree, about which I commanded you, saying, ‘You shall not eat of it,’ the ground is cursed for your sake. You will eat from it with much labor all the days of your 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 It will yield thorns and thistles to you; and you will eat the herb of the field.
Hling neh lota khaw nang ham daih vetih kohong kah baelhing te na caak ni.
19 You will eat bread by the sweat of your face until you return to the ground, for you were taken out of it. For you are dust, and you shall return to dust.”
Na tallung 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 The man called his wife Eve because she would be the mother of all the 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 Yahweh God made garments of animal skins for Adam and for his wife, 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 Yahweh God said, “Behold, the man has become like one of us, knowing good and evil. Now, lest he reach out his hand, and also take of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever—”
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 Therefore Yahweh God sent him out from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from which he was 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 drove out the man; and he placed cherubim at the east of the garden of Eden, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to guard 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.
