< 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?’”
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 Fanm nan te di a sèpan an: “Fwi ki sòti nan ab nan jaden yo, nou kapab manje yo;
And the woman said to the serpent, "Of the fruit of the trees of the garden we may 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.”
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 Sèpan an te di fanm nan: “Vrèman, nou p ap mouri!”
The serpent said to the woman, "You won't surely die,
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 in the day you eat it, your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 Alò, Senyè Bondye a te rele lòm nan, e te di l: “Kote ou ye?”
So God called to the man, 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 the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; 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?
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 Lòm nan te di: “Fanm ke Ou te ban mwen an, li te ban m ladann, e mwen te manje.”
The man said, "The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me of 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.”
Then God said to the woman, "What is this you have done?" The woman said, "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.
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 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 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 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.”
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 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.
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 Se pikan, se zepeng li va fè grandi pou ou; epi ou va manje plant chan an.
Thorns also and thistles will it bring forth to you; and you will eat the plants of the field.
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 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 Alò, lòm nan te rele fanm li an Eve, paske se li ki te manman a tout vivan yo.
The man called his wife Eve, because she was the mother of all living.
21 SENYÈ Bondye a te fè rad avèk po bèt pou Adam avèk madanm li, e Li te abiye yo.
And God made clothing out of skins for Adam and for his wife, and 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—”
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 Pou sa, SENYÈ Bondye a te voye l deyò jaden Eden nan, pou kiltive tè a, nan sila li te sòti a.
Therefore Jehovah sent him out of the garden of Eden, to till the ground 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.
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.
