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?”
Now, the serpent, was more crafty than any living thing of the field which Yahweh God had made, so he said unto the woman, Can it really be that God hath said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
2 स्‍त्रीले सर्पलाई भनिन्, “हामीले बगैँचाका रुखहरूका सबै फल खान सक्छौँ,
And the woman said unto the serpent, —Of the fruit of the trees of the garden, we may eat;
3 तर बगैँचाको बिचमा भएको रुखको फलको विषयमा भने, परमेश्‍वरले भन्‍नुभएको छ, ‘तिमीहरूले त्यो नखानू, न त तिमीहरूले त्यो छुनू, नत्रता तिमीहरू मर्नेछौ ।’”
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 सर्पले स्‍त्रीलाई भन्यो, “निश्‍चय नै तिमीहरू मर्नेछैनौ ।
And the serpent said unto the woman, —Ye shall not die,
5 किनभने परमेश्‍वर जान्‍नुहुन्छ, कि जुन दिन तिमीहरू त्यो खान्छौ तिमीहरूका आँखा खुल्नेछन्, र असल र खराबको ज्ञान पाएर तिमीहरू परमेश्‍वरजस्तै हुनेछौ ।”
For God doth know, that in the day ye eat thereof, then shall your eyes be opened, —and ye shall become like God, knowing good and 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 ।
And, when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was desirable to the eyes and the tree was pleasant to make one knowing, then took she of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and she gave to her husband also, along with her, and he did eat.
7 तब तिनीहरू दुवैका आँखा खुले, र तिनीहरू नाङ्‍गै रहेछन् भनेर थाहा पाए । तिनीहरूले अञ्‍जीरका पातहरू गाँसेर आफ्ना निम्ति वस्‍त्र बनाए ।
Then were opened the eyes of them both, and they knew that, naked, they were, —so they tacked together fig-leaves, and made for themselves girdles,
8 अनि साँझपख जब तिनीहरूले परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वर बगैँचामा हिँडिरहनुभएको आवाज सुने, तब मानिस र उनकी पत्‍नी बगैँचाका रुखहरूबिच परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वरको नजरबाट लुके।
Then heard they the sound of Yahweh God, walking to and fro in the garden at the breeze of the day, —so he hid himself—the man with his wife, from the face of Yahweh God, amid the trees of the garden.
9 परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वरले मानिसलाई बोलाउनुभयो, “तँ कहाँ छस्?”
And Yahweh God called unto the man, —and said to him, Where art thou?
10 मानिसले भन्यो, “मैले बगैँचामा तपाईंको आवाज सुनेँ, र म डराएँ किनकि म नाङ्‍गै थिएँ । यसैकारण म लुकेँ ।”
And he said, The sound of thee, heard I in the garden, and I was afraid, for, naked, was I, so I hid myself.
11 परमेश्‍वरले भन्‍नुभयो, “तँ नाङ्‍गै थिइस् भनेर तँलाई कसले भन्यो? के मैले तँलाई नखानू भनेर आज्ञा गरेको रुखको फल तैँले खाइस्?”
And he said, Who told thee that, naked, thou wast? Of the tree whereof I commanded thee not to eat, hast thou eaten?
12 मानिसले भन्यो, “तपाईंले मसँगै रहनलाई दिनुभएको स्‍त्रीले मलाई त्यस रुखको फल दिई, र मैले त्यो खाएँ ।”
And the man said, —The woman whom thou didst put with me, she, gave me of the tree, so I did eat.
13 परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वरले स्‍त्रीलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “तैँले यो के गरिस्?” स्‍त्रीले भनिन्, “सर्पले मलाई छल गर्‍यो, र मैले खाएँ ।”
Then said Yahweh God to the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, the serpent, deceived me, so I did eat.
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 said Yahweh God unto the serpent—Because thou hast done this, Accursed, art thou above every tame-beast, and above every wild-beast of the field, —on thy belly, shalt thou go, and dust, shalt thou eat all the days of thy life.
15 तेरो र स्‍त्रीबिच, अनि तेरो सन्तान र स्‍त्रीको सन्तानबिच म दुश्मनी हालिदिनेछु । त्यसले तेरो शिर कुल्चनेछ, र तैँले त्यसको कुर्कुच्‍चा डस्‍नेछस् ।”
And enmity, will I put between thee, and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed, —He shall crush thy head, but, thou, shalt crush 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 ।”
Unto the woman, he said, I will, increase, thy pain of pregnancy, In pain, shalt thou bear children, —Yet, unto thy husband, shall be thy longing, Though, he, rule over thee.
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 ।
And, to the man, he said, Because thou didst hearken to the voice of thy wife, and so didst eat of the tree as to which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it, Accursed be the ground for thy sake, In pain, shalt thou eat of it, all the days of thy life;
18 त्यसले तेरो निम्ति काँढा र सिउँडीहरू उमार्नेछ, र तैँले खेतका बिरुवाहरू खानेछस् ।
Thorn also and thistle, shall it shoot forth to thee, —when thou hast come to eat of the herb of the field:
19 तँ माटोमा नफर्कुन्जेल, तैँले आफ्नो परिश्रमको पसिना बगाएर भोजन खानेछस्, किनकि तँ माटैबाट निकालिएको थिइस् । तँ माटै होस्, र माटोमा नै फर्किजानेछस् ।”
In the sweat of thy face, shalt thou eat bread, until thou return to the ground, because therefrom, wast thou taken, —For, dust, thou art, And, unto dust, shalt thou return.
20 मानिसले आफ्नी पत्‍नीको नाम हव्‍वा राख्‍यो किनकि तिनी सबै जीवित प्राणीकी आमा हुन् ।
So the man called the name of his wife, Eve, —in that, she, was made mother of every one living.
21 परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वरले आदम र उनकी पत्‍नीका निम्ति छालाका लुगा बनाई तिनीहरूलाई पहिराइदिनुभयो ।
And Yahweh God made for the man—and for his wife—tunics of skin and clothed 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 said Yahweh God—Lo! man, hath become like one of us, in respect of knowing good and evil, —Now, therefore, lest he thrust forth his hand, and take even of the tree of life, and eat, and live to times age-abiding, —
23 त्यसैकारण जुन भूमिबाट त्यो निकालिएको थियो त्यही भूमिमा खेतीपाती गर्न परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वरले त्यसलाई अदनको बगैँचाबाट निकालिदिनुभयो ।
So Yahweh God put him forth from the garden of Eden, —to till the ground wherefrom he had been taken.
24 परमेश्‍वरले मानिसलाई बगैँचाबाट निकालिदिनुभएपछि जीवनको रुखतर्फको मार्गमा पहरा दिन उहाँले अदनको बगैँचाको पूर्वमा करूबहरू र चारैदिशातर्फ घुमिरहने ज्वालामय तरवार राखिदिनुभयो ।
So he expelled the man, —and caused to dwell—in front of the garden of Eden—cherubim and a brandishing sword—flame, to keep the way to the tree of life.
