1 Agwọ dị aghụghọ karịa ụmụ anụ ọhịa niile Onyenwe anyị Chineke kere. Ọ bịakwutere nwanyị ahụ sị ya, “Ọ bụ ezie na Chineke sị unu erila mkpụrụ si nʼosisi niile dị nʼogige a?”
Now the serpent was more subtill then any beast of the fielde, which the Lord God had made: and he said to the woman, Yea, hath God in deede said, Ye shall not eate of euery tree of the garden?
2 Nwanyị ahụ zara sị ya, “Anyị nwere ike rie mkpụrụ si nʼosisi niile dị nʼogige a
And the woman said vnto the serpent, We eate of the fruite of the trees of the garden,
3 ma Chineke kwuru sị, ‘Unu erila mkpụrụ si nʼosisi dị nʼetiti ogige a, unu emetụkwala ya aka, ka unu ghara ịnwụ.’”
But of the fruite of the tree which is in the middes of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eate of it, neither shall ye touche it, lest ye die.
4 Agwọ gwara nwanyị ahụ sị, “Unu agaghị anwụ.
Then the serpent said to the woman, Ye shall not die at all,
5 Nʼihi na Chineke maara na ọ bụrụ na unu erie ya, anya unu ga-emeghe, unu ga-amata ezi ihe na ajọ ihe.”
But God doeth knowe, that when ye shall eate thereof, your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and euill.
6 Nwanyị ahụ hụrụ na mkpụrụ si nʼosisi ahụ dị mma iri eri, na ọ dị mma nʼanya, na ọ bụ osisi mara mma e si enweta amamihe. Ọ ghọọrọ mkpụrụ ahụ rie, nyekwa di ya, onye nke na ya nọ, o rie.
So the woman (seeing that the tree was good for meate, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to get knowledge) tooke of the fruite thereof, and did eate, and gaue also to her husband with her, and he did eate.
7 Mgbe ahụ, anya ha abụọ meghere, ha chọpụtara na ha gba ọtọ. Ya mere, ha dụkọtara ahịhịa fiig, jiri ya mere onwe ha akwa.
Then the eyes of them both were opened, and they knewe that they were naked, and they sewed figge tree leaues together, and made them selues breeches.
8 Mgbe nwoke ahụ na nwunye ya nụrụ ụda njegharị Onyenwe anyị Chineke nʼogige ahụ nʼoge uhuruchi, ha zoro onwe ha site nʼebe Onyenwe anyị Chineke nọ nʼetiti osisi ndị dị nʼogige ahụ.
Afterward they heard the voyce of the Lord God walking in the garden in the coole of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselues from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden.
9 Ma Onyenwe anyị Chineke kpọrọ nwoke ahụ oku sị ya, “Ebee ka ị nọ?”
But the Lord God called to the man, and said vnto him, Where art thou?
10 Ọ zara si, “Anụrụ m ụda ụkwụ gị nʼogige, nʼihi ya, atụrụ m ụjọ, ebe ọ bụ na m gba ọtọ. Ezokwara m onwe m.”
Who saide, I heard thy voyce in the garden, and was afraide: because I was naked, therefore I hid my selfe.
11 Onyenwe anyị Chineke jụrụ ya sị, “Onye gwara gị na ị gba ọtọ? I riela mkpụrụ si nʼosisi ahụ m nyere gị iwu sị gị erila?”
And he saide, Who tolde thee, that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eate?
12 Nwoke ahụ sịrị, “Nwanyị ahụ i mere ka mụ na ya nọdụ, ọ bụ ya nyere m mkpụrụ sitere nʼosisi ahụ, m rie.”
Then the man saide, The woman which thou gauest to be with me, she gaue me of the tree, and I did eate.
13 Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị Chineke sịrị nwanyị ahụ, “Gịnị bụ ihe a i mere?” Nwanyị ahụ zara sị, “Ọ bụ agwọ ghọgburu m, mee m ka m rie ya.”
And the Lord God saide to the woman, Why hast thou done this? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eate.
14 Ya mere, Onyenwe anyị Chineke gwara agwọ ahụ sị, “Nʼihi ihe a i mere, “Ihe a bụrụ ọnụ ka ị bụ nʼetiti anụ ụlọ niile na nʼetiti anụ ọhịa niile. Afọ gị ka ị ga-eji na-aga ije, aja ka ị ga na-eri ogologo ụbọchị ndụ gị niile.
Then the Lord God said to the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed aboue all cattell, and aboue euery beast of the fielde: vpon thy belly shalt thou goe, and dust shalt thou eate all the dayes of thy life.
15 Aga m eme ka iro dịrị nʼetiti gị na nwanyị ahụ, nʼetiti mkpụrụ gị na mkpụrụ ya, mkpụrụ ya ga-etipịa gị isi, gị onwe gị ga-ata ya arụ nʼikiri ụkwụ.”
I will also put enimitie betweene thee and the woman, and betweene thy seede and her seede. He shall breake thine head, and thou shalt bruise his heele.
16 Ọ gwara nwanyị ahụ sị ya, “Aga m eme ka ihe mgbu nke ịmụ nwa gị baa ụba nke ukwuu, ọ bụ site nʼihe mgbu ka ị ga-eji mụpụta ụmụ gị. Ọchịchọ nke obi gị ga-adị nʼaka di gị, ọ bụ ya ga-achịkwa gị.”
Vnto the woman he said, I will greatly increase thy sorowes, and thy conceptions. In sorowe shalt thou bring foorth children, and thy desire shalbe subiect to thine husband, and he shall rule ouer thee.
17 Ọ gwara Adam sị, “Nʼihi na ị ṅara nwunye gị ntị, rie mkpụrụ site nʼosisi ahụ m nyere gị iwu sị, ‘Gị erila mkpụrụ sitere na ya,’ “Ala bụ ihe a bụrụ ọnụ nʼihi gị, site nʼoke ndọgbu nʼọrụ ka ị ga-eri ihe si na ya pụta ogologo ụbọchị ndụ gị niile.
Also to Adam he said, Because thou hast obeyed the voyce of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, (whereof I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eate of it) cursed is the earth for thy sake: in sorowe shalt thou eate of it all the dayes of thy life.
18 Ọ ga-erupụtara gị ogwu na uke, ị ga-erikwa ahịhịa nke ubi.
Thornes also, and thistles shall it bring foorth to thee, and thou shalt eate the herbe of the fielde.
19 Site nʼọsụsọ nke ga-agbapụta gị nʼihu ka ị ga-eri nri gị tutu ruo mgbe ị lọghachiri nʼala ebe ọ bụ site nʼala ka e si mepụta gị nʼihi na aja ka ị bụ, nʼaja ka ị ga-alaghachikwa.”
In the sweate of thy face shalt thou eate bread, till thou returne to the earth: for out of it wast thou taken, because thou art dust, and to dust shalt thou returne.
20 Adam gụrụ nwunye ya Iiv, nʼihi na ọ bụ nne mmadụ niile dị ndụ.
(And the man called his wiues name Heuah, because she was the mother of all liuing)
21 Emesịa, Onyenwe anyị Chineke weere akpụkpọ anụ meere Adam na nwunye ya uwe oyiyi.
Vnto Adam also and to his wife did the Lord God make coates of skinnes, and clothed them.
22 Onyenwe anyị Chineke sịrị, “Lee, mmadụ adịla ka onye ọbụla nʼime anyị site nʼịmata ihe ọma na ihe ọjọọ. Ugbu a, ka ọ gharakwa ị setịpụ aka ya ghọrọ mkpụrụ osisi ahụ na-enye ndụ rie, si otu a dịrị ndụ ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.”
And the Lord God said, Beholde, the man is become as one of vs, to knowe good and euill. And nowe lest he put foorth his hand, and take also of ye tree of life and eate and liue for euer,
23 Nʼihi nke a, Onyenwe anyị Chineke chụpụrụ ya site nʼogige Iden ka ọ gaa na-arụ ọrụ nʼala e si wepụta ya.
Therefore the Lord God sent him foorth from the garden of Eden, to till ye earth, whence he was taken.
24 Mgbe ọ chụpụrụ mmadụ, o dochiri nʼọwụwa anyanwụ nke ogige Iden ndị mmụọ ozi dị ike a na-akpọ Cherubim, na mma agha na-acha ọkụ, ka ha na-eche ọnụ ụzọ e si aba nʼebe osisi ahụ na-enye ndụ dị nche.
Thus he cast out man, and at the East side of the garden of Eden he set the Cherubims, and the blade of a sworde shaken, to keepe the way of the tree of life.
