Kĩambĩrĩria 3
1 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?”
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 Mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio agĩcookeria nyoka ĩyo atĩrĩ, “No tũrĩe matunda ma mĩtĩ ĩrĩa ĩrĩ mũgũnda ũyũ,
And the woman says to the serpent, “From the fruit of the trees of the garden we eat,
3 no Ngai aatwĩrire atĩrĩ, ‘Mũtikanarĩe matunda ma mũtĩ ũrĩa ũrĩ gatagatĩ ka mũgũnda ũyũ, na mũtikanaũhutie, nĩguo mũtigakue.’”
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 No nyoka ĩkĩĩra mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio atĩrĩ, “Ti-itherũ mũtingĩkua.
And the serpent says to the woman, “Dying, you do not die,
5 No Ngai nĩoĩ atĩ rĩrĩa mũkaarĩa matunda macio, maitho manyu nĩmakahingũka, mũtuĩke o ta Ngai, mũmenyage wega na ũũru.”
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 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.
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 Hĩndĩ ĩyo maitho mao eerĩ makĩhingũka, nao makĩmenya atĩ maarĩ njaga; nĩ ũndũ ũcio magĩtumania mathangũ ma mũkũyũ, magĩĩthondekera kĩndũ gĩa kũhumbĩra njaga yao.
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 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.
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 No Jehova Ngai agĩĩta mũndũ ũcio, akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Ũrĩ ha?”
And YHWH God calls to the man and says to him, “Where [are] you?”
10 Nake akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Niĩ ngũiguire ũgĩceera mũgũnda-inĩ ndeetigĩra tondũ nyuma njaga; nĩ ũndũ ũcio ndeehitha.”
And he says, “I have heard Your sound in the garden, and I am afraid, for I am naked, and I hide myself.”
11 Nake Jehova akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Nũũ ũkwĩrire atĩ ũrĩ njaga? Kaĩ ũrĩĩte matunda ma mũtĩ ũrĩa ndagwaathire ngĩkwĩra ndũkanaũrĩe?”
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 Mũndũ ũcio akiuga atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ-wa-nja ũrĩa waheire ndũũranie nake nĩwe ũũheire matunda mamwe ma mũtĩ ũcio, na niĩ ndarĩa.”
And the man says, “The woman whom You placed with me—she has given to me from the tree, and I eat.”
13 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.”
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 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.
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 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.”
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 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.”
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 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.
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 Ĩrĩgũciaragĩra mĩigua na mahiũ ma nyeki-inĩ, nawe ũrĩrĩĩaga mĩmera ya mũgũnda.
and it brings forth thorn and bramble for you, and you have eaten the herb of the field;
19 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.”
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 Adamu agĩĩta mũtumia wake Hawa, tondũ nĩwe watuĩkire nyina wa arĩa othe matũũraga muoyo.
And the man calls his wife’s name Eve, for she has been mother of all living.
21 Jehova Ngai agĩthondekera Adamu na mũtumia wake nguo cia njũũa, akĩmahumba.
And YHWH God makes coats of skin [for] the man and his wife, and clothes them.
22 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.”
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 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jehova Ngai akĩmũingata kuuma Mũgũnda wa Edeni athiĩ akarĩmage tĩĩri-inĩ kũrĩa aarutĩtwo.
YHWH God sends him forth from the Garden of Eden to serve the ground from which he has been taken;
24 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.
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.
