1 Mose 3
1 Na ɔwɔ yɛ ɔdaadaafo wɔ wuram mmoadoma a Awurade Nyankopɔn abɔ wɔn no nyinaa mu. Ɔwɔ no kɔɔ ɔbea no nkyɛn kobisaa no se, “Enti ɛyɛ ampa ara sɛ, Onyankopɔn se, ‘Munnni turo yi mu aduaba biara?’”
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 Ɔbea no buaa ɔwɔ se, “Yetumi di nnua a ɛwɔ turo yi mu no so aduaba biara,
And the woman said to the serpent, Of the fruit of the trees of the garden we may eat,
3 nanso Onyankopɔn kae se, ‘Ɛnsɛ sɛ yedi dua a esi turo no mfimfini no so aduaba, na ɛnsɛ sɛ yɛde yɛn nsa mpo ka, anyɛ saa a yebewu.’”
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 ɔwɔ no ka kyerɛɛ ɔbea no se, “Morenwuwu.
And the serpent said to the woman, Ye shall not surely die.
5 Mmom, Onyankopɔn nim sɛ, da a mubedi no ara pɛ, mo ani bɛba mo ho so, ama moayɛ sɛ Onyankopɔn, na moahu papa ne bɔne.”
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 Bere a ɔbea no huu sɛ dua a esi mfimfini no so aba no wodi a, ɛbɛyɛ yie, na ɛyɛ akɔnnɔ, na afei ɛtew ani no, ɔtew bi dii, de bi maa ne kunu a na ɔne no wɔ hɔ no, maa ɔno nso dii.
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 Wodi wiee no, wɔn baanu ani baa wɔn ho so, na wohuu sɛ wɔn nyinaa da adagyaw. Enti wɔkekaa nhaban sisii anim, de kataa wɔn adagyaw so.
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 Da no anwummere, wɔtee Awurade Nyankopɔn nka sɛ ɔnam turo no mu; enti Adam ne ne yere Hawa de wɔn ho kosiee nnua a ɛwɔ turo mu hɔ no mu sɛnea Awurade Nyankopɔn renhu wɔn.
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 Awurade Nyankopɔn frɛɛ Adam bisaa no se, “Mowɔ he?”
And Jehovah God called to the man, and said to him, Where are thou?
10 Adam buae se, “Metee wo nka wɔ turo no mu hɔ, nanso na misuro, efisɛ na meda adagyaw nti mekɔtɛwee.”
And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked. And I hid myself.
11 Na Onyankopɔn bisaa no se, “Hena na ɔka kyerɛɛ wo se na woda adagyaw? Woadi dua a meka kyerɛɛ wo se nni so aba no bi ana?”
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 Adam kae se, “Yiw, nanso ɔbea no a wode no maa me sɛ me ne no ntena no na ɔde aduaba a ɔtew fii dua no so no brɛɛ me maa midii.”
And the man said, The woman whom thou gave to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I ate.
13 Enti Awurade Nyankopɔn bisaa ɔbea no se, “Dɛn na woayɛ yi?” Ɔbea no buae se, “Ɔwɔ no na ɔdaadaa me ma midii.”
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 Enti Awurade Nyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ ɔwɔ no se, “Esiane saa ade a woayɛ yi nti, “Wɔadome wo wɔ mmoa nyinaa ne nkekaboa mu. Wobɛwea wʼafuru so, na wo nkwanna nyinaa woadi mfutuma.
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 Mede ɔtan bɛto wo ne ɔbea no ne wʼasefo ne nʼasefo ntam. Ɔno na ɔbɛbɔ wo ti, na wo nso woaka ne nantin.”
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 Afei, Awurade Nyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ ɔbea no nso se, “Wobɛte ɔyaw pa ara wɔ wʼawo mu; ɔyaw mu na wobɛwo mma. Eyi nyinaa akyi no, wʼani begyina wo kunu na obedi wo so.”
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 Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ Adam nso se, “Esiane sɛ wutiee wo yere asɛm, na wudii dua a mehyɛɛ wo se, ‘nni so aba no’ nti, “Madome asase, na ɔbrɛ ne ɔhaw mu na wubedidi so wo nkwanna nyinaa.
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 Ebefifi nsɔe ne nkyɛkyerɛ ama wo na woadi wuram nhaban.
Also, thorns and thistles it shall bring forth to thee, and thou shall eat the herb of the field.
19 Wubesiam wʼanim fifiri ansa na woanya aduan adi, kosi sɛ wubewu akɔ dɔte mu, efisɛ dɔte no mu na menwen wo fii; woyɛ dɔte, na dɔte mu na wobɛsan akɔ.”
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 Adam too ne yere no din Hawa, efisɛ ɔno na ɔbɛyɛ ateasefo nyinaa na.
And the man called his wife's name Eve, because she was the mother of all living.
21 Awurade Nyankopɔn de aboa nhoma yɛɛ ntade maa Adam ne ne yere Hawa de kataa wɔn ho.
And Jehovah God made for Adam and for his wife coats of skins, and clothed them.
22 Awurade Nyankopɔn kae se, “Afei, onipa no abɛyɛ sɛ yɛn ara a, wahu papa ne bɔne. Ɛnsɛ sɛ yɛma no kwan na ɔteɛ ne nsa kɔtew nkwa dua no so aba no bi di, na ɔtena ase afebɔɔ.”
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 Enti Awurade Nyankopɔn pam no fii Eden turo no mu sɛ ɔnkɔyɛ adwuma wɔ asase a wɔnwenee no fii mu no so.
therefore Jehovah God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from where he was taken.
24 Ɔpam onipa no, ɔde Kerubim ne afoa a ɛdɛw twaa ne ho fa baabiara no sii Eden turo no apuei fam sɛ ɛnwɛn ɔkwan a ɛkɔ nkwa dua no ho no.
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.
