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?’”
And the two were naked, both Adam and his wife, and were not ashamed. Now the serpent was the most crafty of all the brutes on the earth, which the Lord God made, and the serpent said to the woman, Therefore has God said, Eat not of every 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, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden,
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 said, You shall not eat of it, neither shall you touch it, lest you die.
4 Na ɔwɔ no ka kyerɛɛ ɔbea no se, “Morenwuwu.
And the serpent said to the woman, You 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 knew that in whatever day you should eat of it your eyes would be opened, and you would 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 the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes to look upon and beautiful to contemplate, and having taken of its fruit she ate, and she gave to her husband also with her, and they 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 both were opened, and they perceived that they were naked, and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons to go round them.
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 the Lord God walking in the garden in the afternoon; and both Adam and his wife hid themselves from the face of the Lord God in the midst of the trees of the garden.
9 Na Awurade Nyankopɔn frɛɛ Adam bisaa no se, “Mowɔ he?”
And the Lord God called Adam and said to him, Adam, where are you?
10 Adam buae se, “Metee wo nka wɔ turo no mu hɔ, nanso na misuro, efisɛ na meda adagyaw nti mekɔtɛwee.”
And he said to him, I heard your voice as you walked in the garden, and I feared 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 God said to him, Who told you that you were naked, unless you have eaten of the tree concerning which I charged you of it alone not to 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 Adam said, The woman whom you 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 the Lord God said to the woman, Why have you done this? And the woman said, The serpent deceived 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 the Lord God said to the serpent, Because you have done this you are cursed above all cattle and all the brutes of the earth, on your breast and belly you shall go, and you shall eat earth all the days of your 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 you and the woman and between your seed and her seed, he shall watch against your head, and you shall watch against 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.”
And to the woman he said, I will greatly multiply your pains and your groanings; in pain you shall bring forth children, and your submission shall be to your husband, and he shall rule over you.
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 you have listened to the voice of your wife, and eaten of the tree concerning which I charged you of it only not to eat—of that you have eaten, cursed [is] the ground in your labours, in pain shall you eat of it all the days of your life.
18 Ebefifi nsɔe ne nkyɛkyerɛ ama wo na woadi wuram nhaban.
Thorns and thistles shall it bring forth to you, and you 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 your face shall you eat your bread until you return to the earth out of which you were taken, for earth you are and to earth you shall return.
20 Adam too ne yere no din Hawa, efisɛ ɔno na ɔbɛyɛ ateasefo nyinaa na.
And Adam called the name of his wife Life, 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 the Lord God made for Adam and his wife garments of skin, 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 God said, Behold, Adam is become as one of us, to know good and evil, and now lest at any time he stretch forth his hand, and take of the tree of life and eat, and [so] he shall 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.
So the Lord God sent him forth out of the garden of Delight to cultivate the ground out of which 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.
And he cast out Adam and caused him to dwell over against the garden of Delight, and stationed the cherubs and the fiery sword that turns about to keep the way of the tree of life.
