Jenesis 3
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 subtle than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made; and he said unto the woman, Hath God indeed said, Ye shall not eat of every 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 unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit 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 fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
4 Agwọ gwara nwanyị ahụ sị, “Unu agaghị anwụ.
And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye will surely not die;
5 Nʼihi na Chineke maara na ọ bụrụ na unu erie ya, anya unu ga-emeghe, unu ga-amata ezi ihe na ajọ ihe.”
For God doth know, that, on the day ye eat thereof, your eyes will be opened, and ye will be as God, knowing good and evil.
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.
And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and the tree was desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her, and he did eat.
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.
And the eyes of both of them were opened, and they felt that they were naked; and they sewed fig-leaves together, and made themselves aprons.
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.
And they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day; and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God amongst the trees of the garden.
9 Ma Onyenwe anyị Chineke kpọrọ nwoke ahụ oku sị ya, “Ebee ka ị nọ?”
And the Lord God called unto the man, and said unto 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.”
And he said, Thy voice I heard in the garden; and I was afraid, because I am naked; and I hid myself.
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 said, Who told thee that thou art naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?
12 Nwoke ahụ sịrị, “Nwanyị ahụ i mere ka mụ na ya nọdụ, ọ bụ ya nyere m mkpụrụ sitere nʼosisi ahụ, m rie.”
And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.
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 said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.
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.
And the Lord God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, be thou cursed above all the cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days 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.”
And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; he shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt wound his heel.
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.”
Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy pain and [the suffering of] thy conception; in pain shalt thou bring forth children; and for thy husband shall be thy desire, but he shall rule over 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.
And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it; cursed be the ground for thy sake; in pain shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life.
18 Ọ ga-erupụtara gị ogwu na uke, ị ga-erikwa ahịhịa nke ubi.
And thorns and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herbs of the field.
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 sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground, for out of it wast thou taken; for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.
20 Adam gụrụ nwunye ya Iiv, nʼihi na ọ bụ nne mmadụ niile dị ndụ.
And the man called his wife's name Eve [[Chavvah]]; because she was the mother of all living [[Chay]].
21 Emesịa, Onyenwe anyị Chineke weere akpụkpọ anụ meere Adam na nwunye ya uwe oyiyi.
And the Lord God made unto Adam and to his wife coats of skins, 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, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil; and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever—
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 forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from which 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.
So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden the Cherubim, and the flaming sword which revolveth, to guard the way to the tree of life.
