Senesi 3
1 Pea naʻe olopoto lahi hake ʻae ngata ʻi he manu kotoa pē ʻoe fonua, ʻaia naʻe ngaohi ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua. Pea pehē ʻe ia ki he fefine, “ʻOku moʻoni koā kuo pehē ʻe he ʻOtua, ‘ʻE ʻikai te mo kai ʻi he ʻakau kotoa pē ʻoe ngoue?’”
The snake was more cunning than all the other wild animals that Yahweh God had made. [One day Satan gave to] the snake [the ability to talk to the woman]. The snake said to her, “Did God really say to you, ‘Do not eat the fruit from any of the trees in the park/garden’?”
2 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he fefine ki he ngata, “ʻOku ngofua ʻema kai ʻi he fua ʻoe ngaahi ʻakau ʻoe ngoue:
The woman replied, “[What God said was], ‘Do not eat the fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the park/garden or touch it. If you do that, you will die. But you can eat fruit from any of the other trees.’”
3 Ka ko e fua ʻoe ʻakau ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he loto ngoue, kuo folofola mai ʻe he ʻOtua, ‘ʻE ʻikai te mo kai ai, pea ʻe ʻikai te mo ala ki ai, telia naʻa mo mate.’”
4 Pea pehē ʻe he ngata ki he fefine, “ʻOku ʻikai moʻoni te mo mate.
The snake said to the woman, “No, you will certainly not die. God said that
5 He ʻoku ʻilo ʻe he ʻOtua, ʻi he ʻaho te mo kai ai, ʻe toki ʻā ai homo mata, pea te mo hangē ko e ʻotua, ke ʻilo ai ʻae lelei mo e kovi.”
[only] because he knows that when you eat fruit from that tree, [you will understand new things. It will be as though] your eyes are opened [MET], and you will know what is good [to do] and what is evil [to do], just as God does.”
6 Pea ʻi he mamata ʻe he fefine ʻoku lelei ʻae ʻakau ki he kai, mo matamatalelei ki he mata, pea ko e ʻakau ke velevele ki ai ke fakapotoʻi, naʻa ne toʻo ai hono fua, ʻo kai, pea naʻa ne ʻange foki ki hono ʻhusepāniti, pea naʻa ne kai.
The woman saw that the fruit on that tree was good to eat, and it was very beautiful, and she desired it because [she thought] it would make her wise. So she picked some of the fruit and ate it. Then she gave some to her husband, and he ate it.
7 Pea naʻe ʻā ai ʻae mata ʻokinaua ʻosi pe, pea na ʻilo kuo na telefua; pea naʻa na tui ʻae lou fiki, ʻona vala ʻaki ia.
Immediately [it was as though] their eyes were opened, and they realized that they were naked, so they were ashamed. So they [picked] some fig leaves and fastened them together to make clothes for themselves.
8 Pea naʻa na fanongo ki he leʻo ʻo Sihova ko e ʻOtua, ʻi he ʻalu ʻi he ngoue ʻi he mokomoko ʻoe ʻaho: pea naʻe toitoi ʻa ʻAtama mo hono uaifi, mei he ʻao ʻo Sihova ko e ʻOtua, ʻi he ngaahi ʻakau ʻoe ngoue.
[Late that afternoon], when a cool breeze was blowing, they heard the sound/footsteps of Yahweh as he was walking in the park/garden. So the man and his wife hid themselves among the bushes in the park/garden, [so that Yahweh God would not see them].
9 Pea naʻe ui ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua kia ʻAtama, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “ʻOku ke ʻi fē?”
But Yahweh God called to the man, saying to him, “Why are you [trying to hide from me]?”
10 Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Naʻaku fanongo ki ho leʻo ʻi he ngoue, pea naʻaku manavahē, koeʻuhi kuo u telefua; pea u toitoi ai.”
The man replied, “I heard the sound of your [footsteps/walking] in the garden, and I was naked, so I was afraid and I hid myself.”
11 Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Ko hai kuo fakahā kiate koe ʻoku ke telefua? Kuo ke kai ʻi he ʻakau, ʻaia naʻaku fekau kiate koe, ke ʻoua naʻa ke kai ai?”
God said, “How did you find out you were naked [RHQ]? It must be because you ate some of the fruit [from the tree] that I told you, ‘Do not eat its fruit.’” [RHQ]
12 Pea pehē ʻe he tangata, “Ko e fefine ʻaia naʻa ke foaki ke ma nonofo, naʻe ʻomi ʻe ia kiate au mei he ʻakau pea u kai ai.”
The man said, “You gave me this woman to be with me. She is the one who gave me some of the fruit from that tree, and so I ate it.”
13 Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtua ki he fefine, “Ko e hā eni kuo ke fai?” Pea pehē ʻe he fefine, “Naʻe kākaaʻi au ʻe he ngata, pea u kai.”
Then Yahweh God said to the woman, “Why did you do such a thing?” The woman replied, “I ate some of the fruit because the snake deceived me.”
14 Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtua ki he ngata, “Koeʻuhi kuo ke fai eni, kuo ke malaʻia lahi hake ʻi he fanga manu lalata kotoa pē, mo e manu kotoa pē ʻoe vao; te ke ngaolo koe ʻi ho kete, pea te ke kai ʻae efu ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho kotoa pē ʻo hoʻo moʻui:
Then Yahweh God said to the snake, “Because you did this, of all the livestock and the wild animals, I will curse/punish you alone. As a result, you [and all other snakes] will scurry across the ground on your bellies, and so what you eat will have dirt [on it] as long as you live.
15 pea te u tuku ʻae taufehiʻa ʻiate koe mo e fefine, pea ki ho hako mo hono hako; ʻe laiki ʻe ia ho ʻulu, pea te ke fakavolu ʻe koe ʻa hono muivaʻe.”
And I will cause you and the woman to act in a hostile way toward each other, and I will cause your brood and her descendants to act hostilely toward each other. You will strike at the heel [of one descendant] of hers, but he will strike your head.”
16 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia ki he fefine, “Te u fakalahi ʻaupito ʻa hoʻo mamahi ʻi hoʻo fanafanau: te ke fāʻeleʻi ʻae fānau ʻi he mamahi; pea ʻe ʻi ho husepāniti ʻa hoʻo holi, pea te ne puleʻi koe.”
Then Yahweh said to the woman, “You will have great pain when you give birth to children; you will suffer great pain as your children are being born [DOU]. You will greatly desire your husband [to show affection for you], but he will rule over you.”
17 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia kia ʻAtama, “Koeʻuhi kuo ke tokanga ki he leʻo ʻo ho uaifi, pea kuo ke kai ʻi he ʻakau ʻaia ne u fekau kiate koe, ‘Ke ʻoua naʻa ke kai ai:’ kuo malaʻia ʻae kelekele koeʻuhi ko koe; te ke kai mei ai ʻi he mamahi ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho kotoa pē ʻo hoʻo moʻui;
Then Yahweh said to the man, “You heeded what your wife said, and you ate some of the fruit [of the tree] concerning which I commanded you saying, ‘Do not eat it.’ So I will make it difficult [to grow things in] the ground because of what you did. You will have to work hard as long as you live to produce things from the ground to eat.
18 ʻe tupu mei ai kiate koe ʻae ʻakau talatala mo e talatalaʻāmoa; pea te ke kai ʻae ʻakau iiki ʻoe fonua;
Thornbushes and thistle plants and other weeds will grow [and prevent what you have planted from growing]. And for food, you will have to eat things that just grow in your fields.
19 te ke kai ʻae meʻakai ʻi he kakava ʻo ho mata, kaeʻoua ke ke foki ki he kelekele; he naʻe toʻo koe mei ai: he ko e efu koe, pea te ke toe foki ki he efu.”
[All your life] you will sweat as you work hard to produce food to eat. Then you will die [EUP], and your [body will be buried] in the ground. [I made] you from soil, so when you [die and are buried your body will decay] and become soil again.”
20 Pea naʻe ui ʻe ʻAtama ʻae hingoa ʻo hono uaifi ko ʻIvi; koeʻuhi ko e faʻē ia ʻoe kakai moʻui kotoa pē.
[The man, whose name was] Adam, named his wife Eve, [which means ‘living’], because she became the ancestor of all living people.
21 Naʻe ngaohi foki ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua mei he kiliʻi manu, ʻae ngaahi kofu kia ʻAtama mo hono uaifi, pea naʻa ne fakakofuʻi ʻakinaua.
Then Yahweh God [killed some animals and] made clothes from their skins for Adam and his wife.
22 Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtua, “Vakai, kuo hoko ʻae tangata ke hangē ko ha taha ʻiate kitautolu, ke ne ʻilo ʻae lelei mo e kovi: pea ko eni, telia naʻa mafao atu ʻe ia hono nima, pea ne toli foki mei he ʻakau ʻoe moʻui, ʻo kai, pea moʻui ʻo taʻengata:”
Then Yahweh said, “Look! Those two have become like us because they know what is good [to do] and what is evil [to do]. So now, it will not be good if they reach out and pick and eat [some of the fruit from] the tree [which enables people who eat it] to live [forever]!”
23 Ko ia naʻe fekau atu ia ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua mei he ngoue ʻo ʻIteni, ke ne ngāue ki he kelekele ʻaia naʻe toʻo ia mei ai.
So Yahweh God expelled the man and his wife from the garden of Eden. Yahweh God had created Adam from the ground, but now he forced him to till that ground [so that he could grow food to eat].
24 Pea naʻa ne kapusi ai ʻae tangata pea ne tuku ki he [potu ]hahake ʻoe ngoue ʻo ʻIteni, ʻae selupimi, mo e heletā ulo, ʻaia naʻe foli fakatakamilo, ke leʻohi ʻae hala ʻoe ʻakau ʻoe moʻui.
After Yahweh expelled them, on the east side of the garden he placed (cherubim/creatures with wings) and [an angel holding] a flaming sword which flashed back and forth. He did that in order to block the entrance to the garden, so that people could not go back to the tree that enables people [who eat its fruit] to live [forever].
