Mose 1 3
1 Da nye lã si dze aye wu lã bubu siwo katã Yehowa Mawu wɔ la. Da va nyɔnu la gbɔ, eye wòbiae be, “Ɖe wònye nyateƒe be Mawu de se na mi be migaɖu ati siwo katã le abɔa me la dometɔ aɖeke ƒe tsetsea oa?”
Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which Yhwh God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
2 Nyɔnu la gblɔ na da la be, “Míate ŋu aɖu ati ɖe sia ɖe si le abɔ sia me la ƒe tsetse,
And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:
3 gake Mawu gblɔ be, ‘Migaɖu ati si le abɔ la titina ƒe tsetse o, migaka asi eŋu hã o, ne menye nenema o la, miaku.’”
But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
4 Da la gblɔ be, “Miele kuku ge akpɔ o!
And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
5 Mawu nya nyuie be ne mieɖui ko la, miazu abe ye ene, elabena miaƒe ŋkuwo aʋu, eye mianya nyui kple vɔ̃.”
For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
6 Esi nyɔnu la kpɔ be ati la ƒe tsetse nyo na ɖuɖu, eye wònya kpɔ, eye wònana wodzea nunya la, egbe ɖe ɖu. Ena ɖe srɔ̃a si le egbɔ la hã wòɖu.
And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.
7 Esi woɖu kutsetsea ko la, wodze sii enumake be yewole amama, eye ŋu de asi wo kpekpe me. Ale wotɔ aŋgbawo hesa ɖe ali.
And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.
8 Gbe ma gbe ƒe ɣetrɔ la, amea kple srɔ̃a se Yehowa Mawu ŋkɔ wònɔ tsa ɖim le abɔ la me. Ale woɣla wo ɖokuiwo ɖe atiawo dome.
And they heard the voice of Yhwh God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of Yhwh God amongst the trees of the garden.
9 Yehowa Mawu yɔ amea, eye wòbiae bena, “Afi ka nèle?”
And Yhwh God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?
10 Adam ɖo eŋu be, “Mese ŋkɔwò nègbɔna, vɔvɔ̃ ɖom, eye nyemedi be nàkpɔm manɔ amama o, eya ta meɣla ɖokuinye.”
And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.
11 Mawu biae be, “Ame kae gblɔ na wò be èle amama? Ɖe nèɖu ati si ŋu mede se na mi le la ƒe tsetsea?”
And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?
12 Amea ɖo eŋu be, “Ɛ̃, nyɔnu si nèwɔ nam lae na kutsetsea ƒe ɖem meɖu.”
And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.
13 Yehowa Mawu bia nyɔnu la be, “Nu ka ta nèwɔ nu sia ɖo?” Nyɔnu la ɖo eŋu be, “Da lae blem.”
And Yhwh God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.
14 Eya ta Yehowa Mawu gblɔ na da la be, “Ɖe nu si nèwɔ ta la, “Maƒo fi ade wò ɖeka le aƒemelã kple gbemelã siwo katã le anyigba dzi la dome! Wò ƒodo dzi nàzɔ eye ʋuʋudedi anye wò nuɖuɖu le wò agbemeŋkekewo katã me.
And Yhwh God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:
15 Tso azɔ dzi la, made fuléle wò kple nyɔnu la dome, eye fuléle ma ke anɔ wò dzidzime kple nyɔnu la tɔ dome. Eya la agbã ta na wò, eye wò la àɖu afɔkpodzi nɛ.”
And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
16 Mawu gblɔ na nyɔnu la be, “Àdzi vi le fukpekpe kple vevesese geɖe me, gake srɔ̃wò ƒe nu aganyo ŋuwò kokoko, eye srɔ̃wò anye aƒetɔ na wò.”
Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.
17 Mawu gblɔ na Adam be, “Esi nèɖo to srɔ̃wò, eye nèɖu kutsetse si ŋu mede se na mi le ta la, meƒo fi de anyigba ɖe tawò. “Le wò agbemeŋkekewo katã me la, àku kutri be yeakpɔ nuɖuɖu tso anyigba me.
And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;
18 Anyigba ana ŋuwo kple aŋɔkawo namie na wò, eye nàɖu woƒe gbewo.
Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field;
19 Àdze agbagba le wò agbemeŋkekewo katã me hafi akpɔ abolo aɖu va se ɖe esime nàku. Agatrɔ azu anyi, nu si wotsɔ wɔ wòe la; elabena anyi wotsɔ wɔ wòe, eye anyi ke nàgatrɔ azu.”
In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.
20 Ŋutsu la na ŋkɔ srɔ̃a be Eva si gɔmee nye “Agbenala,” elabena egblɔ be, “Eyae azu amegbetɔƒome blibo la dzila.”
And Adam called his wife’s name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.
21 Yehowa Mawu wɔ lãgbalẽwu do na Adam kple srɔ̃a.
Unto Adam also and to his wife did Yhwh God make coats of skins, and clothed them.
22 Yehowa Mawu gblɔ be, “Esi ame la zu abe míawo ene, eye wònya nyui kple vɔ̃ la, nya kae adzɔ ne aɖu agbeti la, eye wòanɔ agbe tegbetegbe?”
And Yhwh God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:
23 Esia ta Yehowa Mawu nyae ɖa tso Edenbɔ la me, eye wòɖoe ɖa be wòayi aɖade agble ɖe anyigba si me woɖee tsoe la dzi.
Therefore Yhwh God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.
24 Ale Mawu nya ame la, eye wòtsɔ mawudɔla sesẽ siwo wòde yi dadzowo asi na la da ɖe Edenbɔ la ƒe ɣedzeƒe lɔƒo be woadzɔ mɔ woato aɖo ta agbeti la gbɔ la nu.
So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.
