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?”
And the serpent has been cunning above every beast of the field which YHWH God has made, and he says to the woman, “Is it true that God has said, You do not eat from 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 says to the serpent, “From the fruit of the trees of the garden we eat,
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 from the fruit of the tree which [is] in the midst of the garden, God has said, You do not eat of it, nor touch it, lest you die.”
4 Da la gblɔ be, “Miele kuku ge akpɔ o!
And the serpent says to the woman, “Dying, you do not 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 knows that in the day of your eating of it—your eyes have been opened, and you have been as God, 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 the woman sees 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 takes from its fruit and eats, and also gives [some] to her husband with her, and he eats;
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 are opened, and they know that they [are] naked, and they sew fig-leaves, and make girdles for themselves.
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 hear the sound of YHWH 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 YHWH God in the midst of the trees of the garden.
9 Yehowa Mawu yɔ amea, eye wòbiae bena, “Afi ka nèle?”
And YHWH God calls to the man and says to him, “Where [are] you?”
10 Adam ɖo eŋu be, “Mese ŋkɔwò nègbɔna, vɔvɔ̃ ɖom, eye nyemedi be nàkpɔm manɔ amama o, eya ta meɣla ɖokuinye.”
And he says, “I have heard Your sound in the garden, and I am afraid, for I am naked, and I hide 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 says, “Who has declared to you that you [are] naked? Have you eaten from the tree of which I have commanded you not to eat?”
12 Amea ɖo eŋu be, “Ɛ̃, nyɔnu si nèwɔ nam lae na kutsetsea ƒe ɖem meɖu.”
And the man says, “The woman whom You placed with me—she has given to me from the tree, and I 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 says to the woman, “What [is] this you have done?” And the woman says, “The serpent has caused me to forget, and I 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 says to the serpent, “Because you have done this, cursed [are] you above all the livestock, and above every beast of the field: on your belly you go, and dust you eat, [for] all days of your 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 put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her Seed; He bruises your head, and you 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.”
To the woman He said, “Multiplying I multiply your sorrow and your conception; you will bear children in sorrow, and your desire [is] toward your Man [[or husband]], and He [[or he]] will rule over you.”
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 to the man He said, “Because you have listened to the voice of your wife, and eat from the tree concerning which I have charged you, saying, You do not eat of it, cursed [is] the ground on your account; in sorrow you eat of it [for] all days of your life,
18 Anyigba ana ŋuwo kple aŋɔkawo namie na wò, eye nàɖu woƒe gbewo.
and it brings forth thorn and bramble for you, and you have eaten 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.”
by the sweat of your face you eat bread until your return to the ground, for you have been taken out of it, for dust you [are], and to dust you return.”
20 Ŋutsu la na ŋkɔ srɔ̃a be Eva si gɔmee nye “Agbenala,” elabena egblɔ be, “Eyae azu amegbetɔƒome blibo la dzila.”
And the man calls his wife’s name Eve, for she has been mother of all living.
21 Yehowa Mawu wɔ lãgbalẽwu do na Adam kple srɔ̃a.
And YHWH God makes coats of skin [for] the man and his wife, and clothes 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 says, “Behold, the man was as one of Us, as to the knowledge of good and evil; and now, lest he send forth his hand, and has also taken from the Tree of Life, and eaten, and lived for all time.”
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.
YHWH God sends him forth from the Garden of Eden to serve the ground from which he has been 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.
indeed, He casts out the man, and causes the cherubim to dwell at the east of the Garden of Eden with the sword of flame whirling around to guard the way of the Tree of Life.
