< 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?’”
Now the serpent was more shrewd than any of the wild animals which God had made. And he said to the woman, "Has God really said, 'You shall not eat of any 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 said to the serpent, "Of the fruit of the trees of the garden we may 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 of the fruit of the tree which is in the middle of the garden, God has said, 'You shall not eat of it, neither shall you touch it, lest you die.'"
4 Na ɔwɔ no ka kyerɛɛ ɔbaa no sɛ, “Morenwuwu.
The serpent said to the woman, "You won't surely 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 you eat it, your eyes will be opened, and you will be like 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.
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 one wise, she took of its fruit, and ate, and she also gave some to her husband who was with her, and he ate.
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.
The eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked. So they sewed fig leaves together, and made coverings 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.
They heard the voice of God walking in the garden during the breeze of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of God among the trees of the garden.
9 Enti, Awurade Onyankopɔn frɛɛ Adam bisaa no sɛ, “Mowɔ he?”
So God called to the man, and said 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 said, "I heard your voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; so I hid 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 said, "Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?"
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.”
The man said, "The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I ate."
13 Enti, Awurade Onyankopɔn bisaa ɔbaa no sɛ, “Ɛdeɛn na woayɛ yi?” Ɔbaa no buaa sɛ, “Ɔwɔ no na ɔdaadaa me ma mediiɛ.”
Then God said to the woman, "What is this you have done?" The woman said, "The serpent deceived me, and I ate."
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.
So God said to the serpent, "Because you have done this, cursed are you above every tame animal, and above every wild animal. On your belly you shall go, and you shall eat dust all the 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.”
I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring. He will bruise your head, and you will 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.”
And to the woman he said, "I will greatly multiply your pain in childbirth. In pain you will bring forth children. Your desire will be for your husband, and 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.
To Adam he said, "Because you have listened to your wife's voice, and have eaten of the tree, of which I commanded you, saying, 'You shall not eat of it,' cursed is the ground for your sake. In toil you will eat of it all the days of your life.
18 Ɛbɛfifiri nkasɛɛ ne nkyɛkyerɛ ama wo na woadi wiram nhahan.
Thorns also and thistles will it bring forth to you; and you will eat the plants 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 will you eat bread until you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken. For you are dust, and to dust you shall return."
20 Adam too ne yere no edin Hawa, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔno na ɔbɛyɛ ateasefoɔ nyinaa na.
The man called his wife Eve, because she was the mother of all living.
21 Awurade Onyankopɔn de aboa nwoma yɛɛ ntadeɛ maa Adam ne ne yere Hawa de kataa wɔn ho.
And God made clothing out of skins for Adam and for his wife, and clothed 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.”
Then God said, "Look, the man has become like one of us, knowing good and evil. So now, let us send him out, lest he reach out his hand and also take of the tree of life and eat, and live forever."
23 Enti, Awurade Onyankopɔn pamoo no firii Eden turo no mu sɛ ɔnkɔyɛ adwuma wɔ asase a, wɔnwonoo no firii mu no so.
Therefore the LORD sent him out of the garden of Eden, to till the ground from which he was 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.
So he drove out the man; and he stationed the cherubim at the east of the garden of Eden, and a flaming sword which turned every direction, to guard the way to the tree of life.
