< Kenehi 3 >

1 Na ko te nakahi he mohio rawa i nga kirehe katoa o te parae i hanga nei e Ihowa, e te Atua. Na ko tana meatanga ki te wahine, Koia, i mea ano te Atua, Kaua e kainga e korua nga hua o tetahi rakau o te kari?
Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which Jehovah God had made. And he said to the woman, Yea, has God said, Ye shall not eat of any tree of the garden?
2 A ka mea te wahine ki te nakahi, E kai ano maua i nga hua o nga rakau o te kari:
And the woman said to the serpent, Of the fruit of the trees of the garden we may eat,
3 Ko nga hua ia o te rakau i waenganui o te kari, kua mea mai te Atua, Kaua korua e kai i tetahi o ona hua, kaua ano hoki e pa ki reira, kei mate korua.
but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God has said, Ye shall not eat of it, nor shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
4 Na ko te meatanga a te nakahi ki te wahine, E kore korua e mate rawa:
And the serpent said to the woman, Ye shall not surely die.
5 Erangi e mohio ana te Atua ko te ra e kai ai korua i tetahi o ona hua, katahi ka marama o korua kanohi, a ka rite korua ki te Atua, ka mohio ki te pai, ki te kino.
For God knows that in the day ye eat of it, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
6 A, i te kitenga o te wahine he pai te rakau ra hei kai, he ahuareka ki te titiro atu, he rakau hoki e minaminatia hei whakamohio, na ka tango ia i etahi o ona hua, ka kai, ka hoatu hoki ki tana tahu i tona taha; a kai ana ia.
And 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 wise, she took of the fruit of it, and ate. And she also gave to her husband with her, and he ate.
7 Na ka marama o raua kanohi tahi, ka mohio raua kei te tu tahanga raua; na ka tuia e raua etahi rau piki, meatia ana hei rapaki mo raua.
And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked. And they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.
8 A ka rongo raua i te reo o Ihowa, o te Atua, e haereere ana i te kari i te hauhautanga o te ra: a ka piri a Arama raua ko tana wahine i te aroaro o Ihowa, o te Atua, ki roto ki nga rakau o te kari.
And they heard the voice of Jehovah God walking in the garden in the cool of the day. And the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of Jehovah God amongst the trees of the garden.
9 Na ka karanga a Ihowa, te Atua, ki a Arama, ka mea ki a ia, Kei hea koe?
And Jehovah God called to the man, and said to him, Where are thou?
10 A ka mea ia, I rongo ahau ki tou reo i te kari, a wehi ana ahau, noku i tu tahanga; na piri ana ahau.
And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked. And I hid myself.
11 Na ka mea ia, Na wai i mea ki a koe e tu tahanga ana koe? Kua kainga ranei e koe etahi o nga hua o te rakau i kiia atu ra e ahau ki a koe, Kaua ona hua e kainga?
And he said, Who told thee that thou was naked? Have thou eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee that thou should not eat?
12 Na ka mea te tangata ra, Na te wahine i homai nei e koe hei hoa moku, nana i homai etahi o nga hua o te rakau ki ahau, a kainga ana e ahau.
And the man said, The woman whom thou gave to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I ate.
13 Na ka mea a Ihowa, te Atua, ki te wahine, He aha tenei kua meatia nei e koe? Ka mea te wahine, Na te nakahi ahau i maminga, a kai ana ahau.
And Jehovah God said to the woman, What is this thou have done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I ate.
14 Na ka mea a Ihowa, te Atua, ki te nakahi, Mo tenei mahi au nui atu te kanga mou i o nga kararehe katoa, i o nga kirehe katoa o te parae; ko tou kopu hei haere mou, ko te puehu hei kai mau i nga ra katoa e ora ai koe:
And Jehovah God said to the serpent, Because thou have done this, cursed are thou above all cattle, and above every beast of the field. Upon thy belly thou shall go, and dust thou shall eat all the days of thy life.
15 Ka whakatupuria hoki e ahau he pakanga ma korua ko te wahine, ma tou uri ratou ko tona uri; ka maru tou matenga i a ia, ka maru i a koe tona rekereke.
And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed. He shall bruise thy head, and thou shall bruise his heel.
16 Ka mea ia ki te wahine, Ka whakanuia rawatia e ahau tou mamae, me tou haputanga; ka mamae koe ina whanau tamariki; ka hiahia koe ki to tahu, ko ia ano hoki hei rangatira mou.
To the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy pain and thy childbearing, in pain thou shall bring forth children. And thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.
17 A ka mea ia ki a Arama, Mo tou rongonga ki te reo o tau wahine, mo tau kainga hoki i te hua o te rakau i kiia atu e ahau ki a koe, i meatia atu ra, Kaua e kainga etahi o ona hua: ka oti te oneone te kanga mo tau mahi; ka kainga e koe ona hua i r unga i te mamae i nga ra katoa e ora ai koe;
And to Adam he said, Because thou have hearkened to the voice of thy wife, and have eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shall not eat of it, cursed is the ground for thy sake. In toil thou shall eat of it all the days of thy life.
18 He tataramoa ano hoki, he tumatakuru ana e whakatupu ake ai mau; a ka kai koe i te otaota o te parae;
Also, thorns and thistles it shall bring forth to thee, and thou shall eat the herb of the field.
19 Ma te werawera o tou mata e kai ai koe i te taro, a hoki noa koe ki te oneone; i tangohia mai nei hoki koe i reira: he puehu hoki koe, a ka hoki ano ki te puehu.
In the sweat of thy face thou shall eat bread, till thou return to the ground, for out of it thou were taken. For thou are dust, and to dust thou shall return.
20 A i huaina e Arama te ingoa o tana wahine ko Iwi; no te mea ko te whaea ia o nga mea ora katoa.
And the man called his wife's name Eve, because she was the mother of all living.
21 Na ka hanga e Ihowa, e te atua, etahi kakahu hiako mo Arama raua ko tana wahine, a whakakakahuria ana raua.
And Jehovah God made for Adam and for his wife coats of skins, and clothed them.
22 Na ka mea a Ihowa, te Atua, Nana, kua rite nei te tangata ki tetahi o tatou, te mohio ki te pai, ki te kino: na kei totoro atu tona ringa aianei, kei tango i tetahi o nga hua o te rakau o te ora, kei kai, a ka ora tonu:
And Jehovah God said, Behold, the man has 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 forever-
23 Koia i tonoa atu ai ia e Ihowa, e te Atua, i te kari o Erene hei ngaki i te oneone i tangohia mai nei ia i reira.
therefore Jehovah God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from where he was taken.
24 Heoi peia ana e ia te tangata; a whakanohoia ana ki te taha ki te rawhiti o te kari o Erene tetahi Kerupima, me tetahi hoari mura, he mea piupiu tonu ki tetahi taha, ki tetahi taha, hei tiaki i te huarahi ki te rakau o te ora.
So he drove out the man. And he placed at the east of the garden of Eden the cherubim, and the flame of a sword which turned every way, to guard the way of the tree of life.
