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?”
Now the serpent was more shrewd than any of the wild animals which God had made. And he said to the woman, "Has God really said, 'You shall not eat of any 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 said to the serpent, "Of the fruit of the trees of the garden we may eat,
3 no Ngai aatwĩrire atĩrĩ, ‘Mũtikanarĩe matunda ma mũtĩ ũrĩa ũrĩ gatagatĩ ka mũgũnda ũyũ, na mũtikanaũhutie, nĩguo mũtigakue.’”
but of the fruit of the tree which is in the middle of the garden, God has said, 'You shall not eat of it, neither shall you touch it, lest you die.'"
4 No nyoka ĩkĩĩra mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio atĩrĩ, “Ti-itherũ mũtingĩkua.
The serpent said to the woman, "You won't surely 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 you eat it, your eyes will be opened, and you will be like 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.
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 of its fruit, and ate, and she also gave some to her husband who was with her, and he ate.
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.
The eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked. So they sewed fig leaves together, and made coverings 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.
They heard the voice of God walking in the garden during the breeze of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of God among the trees of the garden.
9 No Jehova Ngai agĩĩta mũndũ ũcio, akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Ũrĩ ha?”
So God called to the man, and said to him, "Where are you?"
10 Nake akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Niĩ ngũiguire ũgĩceera mũgũnda-inĩ ndeetigĩra tondũ nyuma njaga; nĩ ũndũ ũcio ndeehitha.”
And he said, "I heard your voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; so I hid myself."
11 Nake Jehova akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Nũũ ũkwĩrire atĩ ũrĩ njaga? Kaĩ ũrĩĩte matunda ma mũtĩ ũrĩa ndagwaathire ngĩkwĩra ndũkanaũrĩe?”
And he said, "Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?"
12 Mũndũ ũcio akiuga atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ-wa-nja ũrĩa waheire ndũũranie nake nĩwe ũũheire matunda mamwe ma mũtĩ ũcio, na niĩ ndarĩa.”
The man said, "The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I ate."
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.”
Then God said to the woman, "What is this you have done?" The woman said, "The serpent deceived me, and I ate."
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.
So God said to the serpent, "Because you have done this, cursed are you above every tame animal, and above every wild animal. On your belly you shall go, and you shall eat dust all the 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.”
I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring. He will bruise your head, and you will 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.”
And to the woman he said, "I will greatly multiply your pain in childbirth. In pain you will bring forth children. Your desire will be for your husband, and 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.
To Adam he said, "Because you have listened to your wife's voice, and have eaten of the tree, of which I commanded you, saying, 'You shall not eat of it,' cursed is the ground for your sake. In toil you will eat of it all the days of your life.
18 Ĩrĩgũciaragĩra mĩigua na mahiũ ma nyeki-inĩ, nawe ũrĩrĩĩaga mĩmera ya mũgũnda.
Thorns also and thistles will it bring forth to you; and you will eat the plants 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 will you eat bread until you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken. For you are dust, and to dust you shall return."
20 Adamu agĩĩta mũtumia wake Hawa, tondũ nĩwe watuĩkire nyina wa arĩa othe matũũraga muoyo.
The man called his wife Eve, because she was the mother of all living.
21 Jehova Ngai agĩthondekera Adamu na mũtumia wake nguo cia njũũa, akĩmahumba.
And God made clothing out of skins for Adam and for his wife, and clothed 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.”
Then God said, "Look, the man has become like one of us, knowing good and evil. So now, let us send him out, lest he reach out his hand and also take of the tree of life and eat, and live forever."
23 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jehova Ngai akĩmũingata kuuma Mũgũnda wa Edeni athiĩ akarĩmage tĩĩri-inĩ kũrĩa aarutĩtwo.
Therefore the LORD sent him out of the garden of Eden, to till the ground from which he was 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.
So he drove out the man; and he stationed the cherubim at the east of the garden of Eden, and a flaming sword which turned every direction, to guard the way to the tree of life.
