< 1 Mose 3 >

1 Na ɔwɔ yɛ ɔdaadaafoɔ wɔ wiram mmoadoma a Awurade Onyankopɔn abɔ wɔn no nyinaa mu. Ɔwɔ no kɔɔ ɔbaa no nkyɛn kɔbisaa no sɛ, “Enti, ɛyɛ ampa ara sɛ, Onyankopɔn se, ‘Monnni turo yi mu aduaba biara?’”
And the serpent has been cunning above every beast of the field which YHWH God has made, and he says to the woman, “Is it true that God has said, You do not eat from every tree of the garden?”
2 Ɔbaa no buaa ɔwɔ sɛ, “Yɛtumi di nnua a ɛwɔ turo yi mu no so aduaba biara,
And the woman says to the serpent, “From the fruit of the trees of the garden we eat,
3 nanso Onyankopɔn kaa sɛ, ‘Ɛnsɛ sɛ yɛdi dua a ɛsi turo no mfimfini no so aduaba, na ɛnsɛ sɛ yɛde yɛn nsa mpo ka, anyɛ saa a, yɛbɛwuwu.’”
but from the fruit of the tree which [is] in the midst of the garden, God has said, You do not eat of it, nor touch it, lest you die.”
4 Na ɔwɔ no ka kyerɛɛ ɔbaa no sɛ, “Morenwuwu.
And the serpent says to the woman, “Dying, you do not die,
5 Onyankopɔn nim sɛ, ɛda a mobɛdi no ara pɛ, mo ani bɛba mo ho so, ama moayɛ sɛ Onyankopɔn, na moahunu papa ne bɔne.”
for God knows that in the day of your eating of it—your eyes have been opened, and you have been as God, knowing good and evil.”
6 Ɛberɛ a ɔbaa no hunuu sɛ dua a ɛsi mfimfini no so aba no wɔdi a, ɛbɛyɛ yie, na ɛyɛ akɔnnɔ, na afei ɛte ani no, ɔtee bi diiɛ, de bi ma ne kunu a na ɔne no wɔ hɔ maa ɔno nso diiɛ.
And the woman sees that the tree [is] good for food, and that it [is] pleasant to the eyes, and the tree is desirable to make [one] wise, and she takes from its fruit and eats, and also gives [some] to her husband with her, and he eats;
7 Wɔdi wieeɛ no, wɔn baanu ani baa wɔn ho so, na wɔhunuu sɛ wɔn nyinaa da adagya. Enti, wɔkekaa nhahan sisii animu de kataa wɔn adagya so.
and the eyes of them both are opened, and they know that they [are] naked, and they sew fig-leaves, and make girdles for themselves.
8 Ɛda no anwummerɛ, wɔtee Awurade Onyankopɔn nka sɛ ɔnam turo no mu. Enti, Adam ne ne yere Hawa de wɔn ho kɔsiee nnua a ɛwɔ turo mu hɔ no mu sɛdeɛ Awurade Onyankopɔn renhunu wɔn.
And they hear the sound of YHWH God walking up and down in the garden at the breeze of the day, and the man and his wife hide themselves from the face of YHWH God in the midst of the trees of the garden.
9 Enti, Awurade Onyankopɔn frɛɛ Adam bisaa no sɛ, “Mowɔ he?”
And YHWH God calls to the man and says to him, “Where [are] you?”
10 Adam buaa sɛ, “Metee wo nka wɔ turo no mu hɔ, nanso na mesuro, ɛfiri sɛ, na meda adagya enti mekɔtɛeɛ.”
And he says, “I have heard Your sound in the garden, and I am afraid, for I am naked, and I hide myself.”
11 Na Onyankopɔn bisaa no sɛ, “Hwan na ɔka kyerɛɛ wo sɛ na woda adagya? Gyama dua a meka kyerɛɛ wo sɛ, nni so aba no, woadi nʼaba no bi?”
And He says, “Who has declared to you that you [are] naked? Have you eaten from the tree of which I have commanded you not to eat?”
12 Adam kaa sɛ, “Aane. Ɔbaa no a wode no maa me sɛ me ne no ntena no na ɔde aduaba a ɔte firii dua no so no brɛɛ me ma mediiɛ.”
And the man says, “The woman whom You placed with me—she has given to me from the tree, and I eat.”
13 Enti, Awurade Onyankopɔn bisaa ɔbaa no sɛ, “Ɛdeɛn na woayɛ yi?” Ɔbaa no buaa sɛ, “Ɔwɔ no na ɔdaadaa me ma mediiɛ.”
And YHWH God says to the woman, “What [is] this you have done?” And the woman says, “The serpent has caused me to forget, and I eat.”
14 Enti, Awurade Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ ɔwɔ no sɛ, “Esiane saa adeɛ a woayɛ yi enti, “Wɔadome wo wɔ mmoa nyinaa ne nkekaboa mu. Wobɛwea wʼafuru so, na wo nkwa nna nyinaa woadi mfuturo.
And YHWH God says to the serpent, “Because you have done this, cursed [are] you above all the livestock, and above every beast of the field: on your belly you go, and dust you eat, [for] all days of your life;
15 Mede ɔtan bɛto wo ne ɔbaa no ne wʼasefoɔ ne nʼasefoɔ ntam. Ɔno na ɔbɛbɔ wo tire, na wo nso woaka ne nantin.”
and I put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her Seed; He bruises your head, and you bruise His heel.”
16 Afei, Awurade Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ ɔbaa no nso sɛ, “Wobɛte ɔyea pa ara wɔ wʼawoɔ mu; ɔyea mu na wobɛwo mma. Yei nyinaa akyiri no, wʼani bɛgyina wo kunu na ɔbɛdi wo so.”
To the woman He said, “Multiplying I multiply your sorrow and your conception; you will bear children in sorrow, and your desire [is] toward your Man [[or husband]], and He [[or he]] will rule over you.”
17 Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ Adam nso sɛ, “Esiane sɛ wotiee wo yere asɛm, na wodii dua a mehyɛɛ wo sɛ, ‘Nni so aba no’ enti, “Madome asase, na ɔbrɛ ne ɔhaw mu na wobɛdidi so wo nkwa nna nyinaa.
And to the man He said, “Because you have listened to the voice of your wife, and eat from the tree concerning which I have charged you, saying, You do not eat of it, cursed [is] the ground on your account; in sorrow you eat of it [for] all days of your life,
18 Ɛbɛfifiri nkasɛɛ ne nkyɛkyerɛ ama wo na woadi wiram nhahan.
and it brings forth thorn and bramble for you, and you have eaten the herb of the field;
19 Wobɛsiam wʼanim fifire ansa na woanya aduane adi, kɔsi sɛ wobɛwu akɔ dɔteɛ mu, ɛfiri sɛ, dɔteɛ no mu na menwonoo wo firiiɛ; woyɛ dɔteɛ, na dɔteɛ mu na wobɛsane akɔ.”
by the sweat of your face you eat bread until your return to the ground, for you have been taken out of it, for dust you [are], and to dust you return.”
20 Adam too ne yere no edin Hawa, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔno na ɔbɛyɛ ateasefoɔ nyinaa na.
And the man calls his wife’s name Eve, for she has been mother of all living.
21 Awurade Onyankopɔn de aboa nwoma yɛɛ ntadeɛ maa Adam ne ne yere Hawa de kataa wɔn ho.
And YHWH God makes coats of skin [for] the man and his wife, and clothes them.
22 Awurade Onyankopɔn kaa sɛ, “Afei, onipa no abɛyɛ sɛ yɛn ara a, wahunu papa ne bɔne. Ɛnsɛ sɛ yɛma no ɛkwan na ɔtene ne nsa kɔte nkwa dua no so aba no bi die, na ɔtena ase afebɔɔ.”
And YHWH God says, “Behold, the man was as one of Us, as to the knowledge of good and evil; and now, lest he send forth his hand, and has also taken from the Tree of Life, and eaten, and lived for all time.”
23 Enti, Awurade Onyankopɔn pamoo no firii Eden turo no mu sɛ ɔnkɔyɛ adwuma wɔ asase a, wɔnwonoo no firii mu no so.
YHWH God sends him forth from the Garden of Eden to serve the ground from which he has been taken;
24 Ɔpamoo onipa no. Na Eden turo no apueeɛ fam hɔ no, ɔde Kerubim ne afena a ɛredɛre twa ne ho fa baabiara no sii hɔ sɛ, ɛnwɛn ɛkwan a ɛkɔ nkwa dua no ho.
indeed, He casts out the man, and causes the cherubim to dwell at the east of the Garden of Eden with the sword of flame whirling around to guard the way of the Tree of Life.
