Olubereberye 3
1 Kale nno omusota gwali mukalabakalaba okukira ensolo zonna ez’omu nsiko, Mukama Katonda ze yatonda. Ne gugamba omukazi nti, “Kazzi Katonda yagamba nti, ‘Temulyanga ku muti gwonna ogw’omu nnimiro!’”
The serpent was more cunning than any of the other wild animals that the Lord God had made. He asked Eve, “Did God really say that you can't eat fruit from every tree in the garden?”
2 Omukazi n’addamu omusota nti, “Tulya ku buli muti ogw’omu nnimiro,
Eve replied to the serpent, “We can eat from the trees in the garden, but not the fruit from the tree in the middle of the garden.
3 kyokka Katonda yatulagira nti, ‘Temulyanga ku kibala ky’omuti oguli wakati mu nnimiro, wadde okugukwatako, muleme okufa.’”
God told us, ‘You mustn't eat from that tree, or even touch it, otherwise you'll die.’”
4 Naye omusota ne gugamba omukazi nti, “Temugenda kufa.
“You certainly won't die,” the serpent told Eve.
5 Kubanga Katonda amanyi nga lwe muligulyako amaaso gammwe lwe galizibuka, era mulifaanana nga ye, okumanyanga ekirungi n’ekibi.”
“It's because God knows that as soon as you eat it, you'll see things differently, and you'll be like God, knowing both what is good and what is evil.”
6 Awo omukazi bwe yalaba ng’omuti mulungi nga gusanyusa okutunulako era gwegombebwa okuleeta amagezi, n’anoga ekibala kyagwo n’alya; n’awaako ne bba naye n’alya.
Eve saw that the fruit of the tree appeared good to eat. It looked very attractive. She really wanted it so she could become wise. So she took some of its fruit and ate it, and she gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it too.
7 Awo amaaso gaabwe bombi ne gazibuka, ne bategeera nga baali bwereere; ne baluka amalagala g’emiti ne beekolera ebyokwambala.
Immediately they saw everything differently and realized they were naked. So they sewed fig leaves together to cover themselves up.
8 Awo ne bawulira eddoboozi lya Mukama Katonda ng’atambula mu nnimiro, mu budde obuweeweevu. Omusajja n’omukazi ne beekweka mu miti Mukama Katonda aleme okubalaba.
Later they heard the Lord walking in the garden in the evening when the breeze was blowing. Adam and Eve went and hid out of sight of the Lord God among the trees of the garden.
9 Naye Mukama Katonda n’ayita omusajja nti, “Oli ludda wa?”
The Lord God called out to Adam, “Where are you?”
10 N’addamu nti, “Mpulidde eddoboozi lyo mu nnimiro, ne ntya, kubanga mbadde bwereere; ne nneekweka.”
“I heard you walking in the garden and I was afraid because I was naked, so I hid,” he replied.
11 N’amubuuza nti, “Ani akubuulidde nti oli bwereere? Olidde ku muti gwe nakulagira obutagulyangako?”
“Who told you that you were naked?” asked the Lord God. “Did you eat fruit from the tree I ordered you not to?”
12 Omusajja n’addamu nti, “Omukazi gwe wampa okubeeranga nange y’ampadde ekibala ne ndya.”
“It was the woman you gave me who gave me the fruit from the tree, and I ate it,” Adam replied.
13 Mukama Katonda kwe kubuuza omukazi nti, “Kiki kino ky’okoze?” Omukazi n’addamu nti, “Omusota gwe gunsenzesenze ne ndya.”
The Lord God asked Eve, “Why have you done this?” “The serpent tricked me, and so I ate it,” she replied.
14 Mukama Katonda n’agamba omusota nti, Kubanga okoze kino okolimiddwa okukira ensolo zonna ez’awaka n’ez’omu nsiko, oneekululiranga ku lubuto lwo era onoolyanga nfuufu ennaku zonna ez’obulamu bwo.
Then the Lord God told the serpent, “Because of what you've done, you are cursed more than any of the other animals. You will slide along on your belly and eat dust as long as you live.
15 Nteeka obulabe wakati wo n’omukazi, ne wakati w’ezzadde lyo n’ezzadde ly’omukazi; ezzadde lye linaakubetentanga omutwe, naawe onoolibojjanga ekisinziiro.
I will make sure you and your children, and the woman and her children, are enemies. One of her children will crush your head, and you will strike his heel.”
16 N’agamba omukazi nti, “Nnaayongeranga nnyo ku bulumi bwo ng’oli lubuto, onoozaaliranga mu bulumi; musajja wo anaakukoleranga bye weetaaga kyokka anaakufuganga.”
He told Eve, “I will make pregnancy much more difficult, and giving birth will be very painful. However, you will still desire your husband, but he will have control over you.”
17 N’agamba Adamu nti, “Kubanga owulidde eddoboozi lya mukazi wo, n’olya ku muti gwe nakulagira obutagulyangako, “ensi ekolimiddwa ku lulwo; mu ntuuyo zo mw’onoofuniranga ekyokulya ennaku zonna ez’obulamu bwo.
He told Adam, “Because you did what your wife told you, and ate fruit from the tree after I ordered you, ‘Don't eat fruit from this tree,’ the ground is now cursed because of you. You will have to work painfully hard to grow food from it throughout your whole life.
18 Ensi eneekumerezanga amaggwa n’amatovu, onoolyanga ebibala eby’omu nnimiro.
It will grow thorns and thistles for you, and you will have to eat wild plants.
19 Mu ntuuyo zo mw’onoggyanga ekyokulya, okutuusa lw’olidda mu ttaka mwe wava, kubanga oli nfuufu ne mu nfuufu mw’olidda.”
You will have to sweat to grow enough food to eat until you die and return to the ground. For you were made from dust and you will return to dust.”
20 Omusajja n’atuuma omukazi erinnya Kaawa, oyo ye nnyina w’abalamu bonna.
Adam named his wife Eve, because she was to be the mother of all human beings.
21 Mukama Katonda n’akolera Adamu ne mukazi we ebyambalo eby’amaliba n’abambaza.
The Lord God made Adam and Eve clothes from animal skins and dressed them.
22 Awo Mukama Katonda n’agamba nti, “Laba omuntu afuuse ng’omu ku ffe okumanyanga ekirungi n’ekibi; kale kaakano talwa kugolola mukono gwe n’anoga ku muti ogw’obulamu n’alya, n’awangaala emirembe gyonna.”
Then the Lord God observed, “Look, the human beings have become like one of us, knowing both what is good and what is evil. Now if they take the fruit from the tree of life and eat it, then they'll live forever!”
23 Bw’atyo Mukama Katonda n’agoba omuntu mu nnimiro Adeni agende alimenga ettaka mwe yaggyibwa.
So the Lord God expelled them from the Garden of Eden. He sent Adam to cultivate the ground from which he'd been made.
24 Bwe yamala okugobamu omuntu, n’ateekamu Bakerubi n’ekitala ekimyansa eky’obwogi ku buli ludda okukuuma ekkubo erigenda ku muti ogw’obulamu.
After he drove them out, the Lord God placed on the east side of the Garden of Eden angels and a sword that flashed in every direction. They were to prevent access to the tree of life.
