Jenèz 3
1 Alò, sèpan an te pi koken pase nenpòt bèt chan ke Bondye te fè. Li te di fanm nan: “Vrèman èske Bondye te di: ‘Pinga nou manje nan okenn ab nan jaden an?’”
However, the serpent was more crafty than any of the creatures of the earth that the Lord God had made. And he said to the woman, “Why has God instructed you, that you should not eat from every tree of Paradise?”
2 Fanm nan te di a sèpan an: “Fwi ki sòti nan ab nan jaden yo, nou kapab manje yo;
The woman responded to him: “From the fruit of the trees which are in Paradise, we eat.
3 men nan fwi ki sòti nan ab ki nan mitan jaden an, Bondye te di: Nou pa pou manje nan li, ni touche li, sinon, nou va mouri.”
Yet truly, from the fruit of the tree which is in the middle of Paradise, God has instructed us that we should not eat, and that we should not touch it, lest perhaps we may die.”
4 Sèpan an te di fanm nan: “Vrèman, nou p ap mouri!”
Then the serpent said to the woman: “By no means will you die a death.
5 Paske Bondye konnen ke nan jou nou manje nan li, zye nou va vin louvri, e nou va vin tankou Bondye, avèk konesans de sa ki bon ak sa ki mal.
For God knows that, on whatever day you will eat from it, your eyes will be opened; and you will be like gods, knowing good and evil.”
6 Lè fanm nan te wè ke pyebwa a te bon pou manje, ke li te yon plezi devan zye li, ke li te byen itil pou vin saj, alò li te pran nan fwi a pou li te manje; epi li te bay osi a mari li ansanm avèk li, pou li te manje.
And so the woman saw that the tree was good to eat, and beautiful to the eyes, and delightful to consider. And she took from its fruit, and she ate. And she gave to her husband, who ate.
7 Zye a toude te vin louvri, e yo te vin konnen ke yo te toutouni. Pou sa, yo te koud fèy pyebwa ansanm e yo te fè pou yo menm yon tabliye.
And the eyes of them both were opened. And when they realized themselves to be naked, they joined together fig leaves and made coverings for themselves.
8 Yo te tande son a SENYÈ Bondye a ki t ap mache nan jaden an nan frechè jounen an, e lòm nan avèk fanm nan te kache tèt yo de prezans SENYÈ Bondye a pami bwa yo nan jaden an.
And when they had heard the voice of the Lord God taking a walk in Paradise in the afternoon breeze, Adam and his wife hid themselves from the face of the Lord God in the midst of the trees of Paradise.
9 Alò, Senyè Bondye a te rele lòm nan, e te di l: “Kote ou ye?”
And the Lord God called Adam and said to him: “Where are you?”
10 Adam te reponn: “Mwen te tande son Ou menm nan jaden an, e mwen te pè paske mwen te toutouni; alò mwen te kache tèt mwen.”
And he said, “I heard your voice in Paradise, and I was afraid, because I was naked, and so I hid myself.”
11 Epi Li te di li, kilès ki te di ou ke ou te toutouni? Èske ou te manje nan pyebwa e M te di ou pa manje a?
He said to him, “Then who told you that you were naked, if you have not eaten of the tree from which I instructed you that you should not eat?”
12 Lòm nan te di: “Fanm ke Ou te ban mwen an, li te ban m ladann, e mwen te manje.”
And Adam said, “The woman, whom you gave to me as a companion, gave to me from the tree, and I ate.”
13 Alò, Bondye te di a fanm nan: “Kisa ou te fè la a?” Epi fanm nan te di: “Sèpan an te twonpe mwen, e mwen te manje l.”
And the Lord God said to the woman, “Why have you done this?” And she responded, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”
14 SENYÈ Bondye a te di a sèpan an: “Akoz ke ou te fè sa, ou modi pase tout bèt domestik yo, e plis ke tout bèt sovaj nan chan an. Sou vant ou ou va mache, e se pousyè ke ou va manje tout jou nan vi ou.
And the Lord God said to the serpent: “Because you have done this, you are cursed among all living things, even the wild beasts of the earth. Upon your breast shall you travel, and the ground shall you eat, all the days of your life.
15 Mwen va mete rayisman antre ou menm avèk fanm nan, e antre pitit ou ak pitit li. Li va kraze tèt ou, e ou va kraze talon li.”
I will put enmities between you and the woman, between your offspring and her offspring. She will crush your head, and you will lie in wait for her heel.”
16 A fanm nan Li te di: “Mwen va miltipliye anpil doulè ke ou va gen nan fè pitit; ak doulè ou va gen nan pouse pitit; malgre sa, dezi ou va pou mari ou, e li va domine sou ou.”
To the woman, he also said: “I will multiply your labors and your conceptions. In pain shall you give birth to sons, and you shall be under your husband’s power, and he shall have dominion over you.”
17 Alò a Adam Li te di: “Akoz ou te koute vwa a fanm ou an, ou te manje nan ab ke Mwen te kòmande e te di Ou pa manje ladann nan, tè a ap modi akoz ou menm. Nan redi ou va manje ladann pou tout jou lavi ou.
Yet truly, to Adam, he said: “Because you have listened to the voice of your wife, and have eaten of the tree, from which I instructed you that you should not eat, cursed is the land that you work. In hardship shall you eat from it, all the days of your life.
18 Se pikan, se zepeng li va fè grandi pou ou; epi ou va manje plant chan an.
Thorns and thistles shall it produce for you, and you shall eat the plants of the earth.
19 Avèk swè figi ou, ou va manje pen, jiskaske ou retounen nan tè a, paske ladann ou te sòti. Paske se pousyè ou ye, e se nan pousyè ou va retounen.”
By the sweat of your face shall you eat bread, until you return to the earth from which you were taken. For dust you are, and unto dust you shall return.”
20 Alò, lòm nan te rele fanm li an Eve, paske se li ki te manman a tout vivan yo.
And Adam called the name of his wife, ‘Eve,’ because she was the mother of all the living.
21 SENYÈ Bondye a te fè rad avèk po bèt pou Adam avèk madanm li, e Li te abiye yo.
The Lord God also made for Adam and his wife garments from skins, and he clothed them.
22 Alò, SENYÈ Bondye a te di: “Gade byen, lòm nan gen tan vini tankou youn nan Nou, avèk konesans sa ki bon avèk sa ki mal. Koulye a, pou li pa lonje men l, pou pran osi nan ab lavi a, manje l e viv jis pou tout tan—”
And he said: “Behold, Adam has become like one of us, knowing good and evil. Therefore, now perhaps he may put forth his hand and also take from the tree of life, and eat, and live in eternity.”
23 Pou sa, SENYÈ Bondye a te voye l deyò jaden Eden nan, pou kiltive tè a, nan sila li te sòti a.
And so the Lord God sent him away from the Paradise of enjoyment, in order to work the earth from which he was taken.
24 Alò, Li te pouse lòm nan deyò; epi nan lès jaden Eden nan, Li te estasyone cheriben nan avèk nepe ak flanm ki te vire nan tout direksyon pou veye chemen vè ab lavi a.
And he cast out Adam. And in front of the Paradise of enjoyment, he placed the Cherubim with a flaming sword, turning together, to guard the way to the tree of life.
