Genesis 3
1 And the serpent hath been subtile above every beast of the field which Jehovah God hath made, and he saith unto the woman, 'Is it true that God hath said, Ye do not eat of every tree of the garden?'
Na rĩrĩ, nyoka yarĩ na wara mũingĩ gũkĩra nyamũ ciothe cia gĩthaka iria Jehova Ngai oombĩte. Nyoka ĩyo ĩkĩũria mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio atĩrĩ, “Ti-itherũ Ngai nĩ oigire mũtikanarĩe maciaro kuuma mũtĩ o wothe wa mũgũnda ũyũ?”
2 And the woman saith unto the serpent, 'Of the fruit of the trees of the garden we do eat,
Mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio agĩcookeria nyoka ĩyo atĩrĩ, “No tũrĩe matunda ma mĩtĩ ĩrĩa ĩrĩ mũgũnda ũyũ,
3 and of the fruit of the tree which [is] in the midst of the garden God hath said, Ye do not eat of it, nor touch it, lest ye die.'
no Ngai aatwĩrire atĩrĩ, ‘Mũtikanarĩe matunda ma mũtĩ ũrĩa ũrĩ gatagatĩ ka mũgũnda ũyũ, na mũtikanaũhutie, nĩguo mũtigakue.’”
4 And the serpent saith unto the woman, 'Dying, ye do not die,
No nyoka ĩkĩĩra mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio atĩrĩ, “Ti-itherũ mũtingĩkua.
5 for God doth know that in the day of your eating of it — your eyes have been opened, and ye have been as God, knowing good and evil.'
No Ngai nĩoĩ atĩ rĩrĩa mũkaarĩa matunda macio, maitho manyu nĩmakahingũka, mũtuĩke o ta Ngai, mũmenyage wega na ũũru.”
6 And the woman seeth that the tree [is] good for food, and that it [is] pleasant to the eyes, and the tree is desirable to make [one] wise, and she taketh of its fruit and eateth, and giveth also to her husband with her, and he doth eat;
Rĩrĩa mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio onire atĩ matunda ma mũtĩ ũcio maarĩ mega ma kũrĩa, na ma kwendeka makĩonwo na maitho, o na ma kwĩrirĩrio nĩ ũndũ wa kũũhĩgia mũndũ, agĩtua mamwe, akĩrĩa. Agĩcooka akĩhe mũthuuri wake, ũrĩa maarĩ nake, nake akĩrĩa.
7 and the eyes of them both are opened, and they know that they [are] naked, and they sew fig-leaves, and make to themselves girdles.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo maitho mao eerĩ makĩhingũka, nao makĩmenya atĩ maarĩ njaga; nĩ ũndũ ũcio magĩtumania mathangũ ma mũkũyũ, magĩĩthondekera kĩndũ gĩa kũhumbĩra njaga yao.
8 And they hear the sound of Jehovah God walking up and down in the garden at the breeze of the day, and the man and his wife hide themselves from the face of Jehovah God in the midst of the trees of the garden.
Hwaĩ-inĩ rĩrĩa riũa rĩarurĩte-rĩ, mũndũ ũcio na mũtumia wake makĩigua makinya ma Jehova Ngai agĩceera kũu mũgũnda-inĩ, nao makĩĩhitha mĩtĩ-inĩ ya mũgũnda nĩguo Jehova Ngai ndakamone.
9 And Jehovah God calleth unto the man, and saith to him, 'Where [art] thou?'
No Jehova Ngai agĩĩta mũndũ ũcio, akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Ũrĩ ha?”
10 and he saith, 'Thy sound I have heard in the garden, and I am afraid, for I am naked, and I hide myself.'
Nake akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Niĩ ngũiguire ũgĩceera mũgũnda-inĩ ndeetigĩra tondũ nyuma njaga; nĩ ũndũ ũcio ndeehitha.”
11 And He saith, 'Who hath declared to thee that thou [art] naked? of the tree of which I have commanded thee not to eat, hast thou eaten?'
Nake Jehova akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Nũũ ũkwĩrire atĩ ũrĩ njaga? Kaĩ ũrĩĩte matunda ma mũtĩ ũrĩa ndagwaathire ngĩkwĩra ndũkanaũrĩe?”
12 and the man saith, 'The woman whom Thou didst place with me — she hath given to me of the tree — and I do eat.'
Mũndũ ũcio akiuga atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ-wa-nja ũrĩa waheire ndũũranie nake nĩwe ũũheire matunda mamwe ma mũtĩ ũcio, na niĩ ndarĩa.”
13 And Jehovah God saith to the woman, 'What [is] this thou hast done?' and the woman saith, 'The serpent hath caused me to forget — and I do eat.'
Nake Jehova Ngai akĩũria mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio atĩrĩ, “Atĩ nĩ atĩa wĩkĩte?” Mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio akiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩ nyoka ĩheenirie na niĩ ndarĩa matunda macio.”
14 And Jehovah God saith unto the serpent, 'Because thou hast done this, cursed [art] thou above all the cattle, and above every beast of the field: on thy belly dost thou go, and dust thou dost eat, all days of thy life;
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jehova Ngai akĩĩra nyoka atĩrĩ, “Tondũ nĩwĩkĩte ũguo-rĩ, “Wee ũrogwatwo nĩ kĩrumi gũkĩra mahiũ mothe na gũkĩra nyamũ ciothe cia gĩthaka! Ũrĩthiiaga na nda, na ũrĩrĩĩaga rũkũngũ matukũ mothe ma muoyo waku.
15 and enmity I put between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; he doth bruise thee — the head, and thou dost bruise him — the heel.'
Na nĩngũtũma kũgĩe ũthũ gatagatĩ gaku na mũndũ-wa-nja ũyũ, na gatagatĩ ka rũciaro rwaku na rwake; nake nĩagakũhehenja mũtwe, nawe nĩũkamũgũtha ndiira ya kũgũrũ gwake.”
16 Unto the woman He said, 'Multiplying I multiply thy sorrow and thy conception, in sorrow dost thou bear children, and toward thy husband [is] thy desire, and he doth rule over thee.'
Ningĩ akĩĩra mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio atĩrĩ, “Nĩngũkũingĩhĩria ruo mũno hĩndĩ ya gũciara; ũrĩciaraga ciana na ruo. Merirĩria maku marĩkoragwo marĩ harĩ mũthuuriguo, nake nĩarĩgwathaga.”
17 And to the man He said, 'Because thou hast hearkened to the voice of thy wife, and dost eat of the tree concerning which I have charged thee, saying, Thou dost not eat of it, cursed [is] the ground on thine account; in sorrow thou dost eat of it all days of thy life,
Ningĩ Ngai akĩĩra Adamu atĩrĩ, “Tondũ nĩwathĩkĩire mũtumia waku, na warĩa matunda ma mũtĩ ũrĩa ndagwaathire, ngĩkwĩra atĩ, ‘Ndũkanarĩe,’ “Thĩ nĩyarumwo nĩ ũndũ waku; ũrĩrĩĩaga irio ciayo na ruo rwa mĩnoga matukũ mothe ma muoyo waku.
18 and thorn and bramble it doth bring forth to thee, and thou hast eaten the herb of the field;
Ĩrĩgũciaragĩra mĩigua na mahiũ ma nyeki-inĩ, nawe ũrĩrĩĩaga mĩmera ya mũgũnda.
19 by the sweat of thy face thou dost eat bread till thy return unto the ground, for out of it hast thou been taken, for dust thou [art], and unto dust thou turnest back.'
Ũrĩrĩĩaga irio cia thithino ya mĩnoga yaku, o nginya rĩrĩa ũgaacooka tĩĩri-inĩ, tondũ nokuo warutĩtwo; tondũ wee ũrĩ rũkũngũ na ũgaacooka o rũkũngũ-inĩ.”
20 And the man calleth his wife's name Eve: for she hath been mother of all living.
Adamu agĩĩta mũtumia wake Hawa, tondũ nĩwe watuĩkire nyina wa arĩa othe matũũraga muoyo.
21 And Jehovah God doth make to the man and to his wife coats of skin, and doth clothe them.
Jehova Ngai agĩthondekera Adamu na mũtumia wake nguo cia njũũa, akĩmahumba.
22 And Jehovah God saith, 'Lo, the man was as one of Us, as to the knowledge of good and evil; and now, lest he send forth his hand, and have taken also of the tree of life, and eaten, and lived to the age,' —
Nake Jehova Ngai akiuga atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ ũyũ nĩatuĩkĩte o ta ũmwe witũ, akamenya wega na ũũru. Ndagĩrĩire gwĩtĩkĩrio atue matunda ma mũtĩ wa muoyo o namo, amarĩe nake atũũre nginya tene.”
23 Jehovah God sendeth him forth from the garden of Eden to serve the ground from which he hath been taken;
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jehova Ngai akĩmũingata kuuma Mũgũnda wa Edeni athiĩ akarĩmage tĩĩri-inĩ kũrĩa aarutĩtwo.
24 yea, he casteth out the man, and causeth to dwell at the east of the garden of Eden the cherubs and the flame of the sword which is turning itself round to guard the way of the tree of life.
Ngai aarĩkia kũrutũrũra mũndũ ũcio-rĩ, akĩiga akerubi mwena wa irathĩro wa Mũgũnda wa Edeni, o na rũhiũ rwa njora rwarĩrĩmbũkaga mwaki na rwahenagia mbarĩ ciothe, nĩ ũndũ wa kũgitĩra njĩra ya gũthiĩ mũtĩ-inĩ ũcio wa muoyo.
