< उत्पत्ति 3 >
1 परमप्रभु परमेश्वरले बनाउनुभएका सबै जङ्गली पशुहरूमध्ये सर्पचाहिँ बढी धूर्त थियो । त्यसले स्त्रीलाई भन्यो, “के परमेश्वरले साँच्चै नै तिमीहरूलाई बगैँचाको कुनै रुखको फल नखानू भनी भन्नुभएको छ?”
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 स्त्रीले सर्पलाई भनिन्, “हामीले बगैँचाका रुखहरूका सबै फल खान सक्छौँ,
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 तर बगैँचाको बिचमा भएको रुखको फलको विषयमा भने, परमेश्वरले भन्नुभएको छ, ‘तिमीहरूले त्यो नखानू, न त तिमीहरूले त्यो छुनू, नत्रता तिमीहरू मर्नेछौ ।’”
God told us, ‘You mustn't eat from that tree, or even touch it, otherwise you'll die.’”
4 सर्पले स्त्रीलाई भन्यो, “निश्चय नै तिमीहरू मर्नेछैनौ ।
“You certainly won't die,” the serpent told Eve.
5 किनभने परमेश्वर जान्नुहुन्छ, कि जुन दिन तिमीहरू त्यो खान्छौ तिमीहरूका आँखा खुल्नेछन्, र असल र खराबको ज्ञान पाएर तिमीहरू परमेश्वरजस्तै हुनेछौ ।”
“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 जब स्त्रीले त्यो रुखको फल खानमा असल, र हेर्नमा रहरलाग्दो, अनि बुद्धि प्राप्त गर्नलाई त्यसको चाह गर्नुपर्ने रहेछ भनेर देखिन्, तिनले त्यसका केही फलहरू टिपिन् र खाइन् । त्यसपछि तिनले केही आफूसँगै भएका आफ्ना पतिलाई पनि दिइन्, र उनले पनि त्यो खाए ।
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 तब तिनीहरू दुवैका आँखा खुले, र तिनीहरू नाङ्गै रहेछन् भनेर थाहा पाए । तिनीहरूले अञ्जीरका पातहरू गाँसेर आफ्ना निम्ति वस्त्र बनाए ।
Immediately they saw everything differently and realized they were naked. So they sewed fig leaves together to cover themselves up.
8 अनि साँझपख जब तिनीहरूले परमप्रभु परमेश्वर बगैँचामा हिँडिरहनुभएको आवाज सुने, तब मानिस र उनकी पत्नी बगैँचाका रुखहरूबिच परमप्रभु परमेश्वरको नजरबाट लुके।
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 परमप्रभु परमेश्वरले मानिसलाई बोलाउनुभयो, “तँ कहाँ छस्?”
The Lord God called out to Adam, “Where are you?”
10 मानिसले भन्यो, “मैले बगैँचामा तपाईंको आवाज सुनेँ, र म डराएँ किनकि म नाङ्गै थिएँ । यसैकारण म लुकेँ ।”
“I heard you walking in the garden and I was afraid because I was naked, so I hid,” he replied.
11 परमेश्वरले भन्नुभयो, “तँ नाङ्गै थिइस् भनेर तँलाई कसले भन्यो? के मैले तँलाई नखानू भनेर आज्ञा गरेको रुखको फल तैँले खाइस्?”
“Who told you that you were naked?” asked the Lord God. “Did you eat fruit from the tree I ordered you not to?”
12 मानिसले भन्यो, “तपाईंले मसँगै रहनलाई दिनुभएको स्त्रीले मलाई त्यस रुखको फल दिई, र मैले त्यो खाएँ ।”
“It was the woman you gave me who gave me the fruit from the tree, and I ate it,” Adam replied.
13 परमप्रभु परमेश्वरले स्त्रीलाई भन्नुभयो, “तैँले यो के गरिस्?” स्त्रीले भनिन्, “सर्पले मलाई छल गर्यो, र मैले खाएँ ।”
The Lord God asked Eve, “Why have you done this?” “The serpent tricked me, and so I ate it,” she replied.
14 परमप्रभु परमेश्वरले सर्पलाई भन्नुभयो, “तैँले यसो गरेको हुनाले सबै पाल्तु पशुहरू र जङ्गली जनावरहरूमा केवल तँ श्रापित हुनेछस् । तँ तेरो पेटद्वारा हिँड्नेछस्, र तेरो जीवनभरि नै तैँले माटो खानेछस् ।
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 तेरो र स्त्रीबिच, अनि तेरो सन्तान र स्त्रीको सन्तानबिच म दुश्मनी हालिदिनेछु । त्यसले तेरो शिर कुल्चनेछ, र तैँले त्यसको कुर्कुच्चा डस्नेछस् ।”
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 उहाँले स्त्रीलाई भन्नुभयो, “म तेरो प्रसव-वेदना ज्यादै बढाइदिनेछु; तैँले पीडामा नै बालक जन्माउनेछस् । तेरो इच्छा तेरो पतिको लागि हुनेछ, तर त्यसले तँलाई आफ्नो अधीनमा राख्नेछ ।”
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 आदमलाई उहाँले भन्नुभयो, “तैँले तेरी पत्नीको कुरा सुनेको, र मैले तँलाई नखानू भनेको रुखको फल तैँले खाएको हुनाले, तेरो कारण यो भूमि श्रापित भएको छ । तेरो जीवनभरि नै तैँले यस भूमिमाथि कडा परिश्रम गरेर खानेछस् ।
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 त्यसले तेरो निम्ति काँढा र सिउँडीहरू उमार्नेछ, र तैँले खेतका बिरुवाहरू खानेछस् ।
It will grow thorns and thistles for you, and you will have to eat wild plants.
19 तँ माटोमा नफर्कुन्जेल, तैँले आफ्नो परिश्रमको पसिना बगाएर भोजन खानेछस्, किनकि तँ माटैबाट निकालिएको थिइस् । तँ माटै होस्, र माटोमा नै फर्किजानेछस् ।”
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 मानिसले आफ्नी पत्नीको नाम हव्वा राख्यो किनकि तिनी सबै जीवित प्राणीकी आमा हुन् ।
Adam named his wife Eve, because she was to be the mother of all human beings.
21 परमप्रभु परमेश्वरले आदम र उनकी पत्नीका निम्ति छालाका लुगा बनाई तिनीहरूलाई पहिराइदिनुभयो ।
The Lord God made Adam and Eve clothes from animal skins and dressed them.
22 परमप्रभु परमेश्वरले भन्नुभयो, “असल र खराबको ज्ञान पाएर मानिस हामीजस्तै भएको छ । यसैकारण अब त्यसलाई आफ्नो हात पसारेर जीवनको रुखको फल खान दिनुहुँदैन नत्रता त्यो सधैँभरि जीवित रहला ।”
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 त्यसैकारण जुन भूमिबाट त्यो निकालिएको थियो त्यही भूमिमा खेतीपाती गर्न परमप्रभु परमेश्वरले त्यसलाई अदनको बगैँचाबाट निकालिदिनुभयो ।
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 परमेश्वरले मानिसलाई बगैँचाबाट निकालिदिनुभएपछि जीवनको रुखतर्फको मार्गमा पहरा दिन उहाँले अदनको बगैँचाको पूर्वमा करूबहरू र चारैदिशातर्फ घुमिरहने ज्वालामय तरवार राखिदिनुभयो ।
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.
