< Genesis 3 >

1 Ejò sá à ṣe alárékérekè ju àwọn ẹranko igbó yòókù tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run dá lọ. Ó sọ fún obìnrin náà pé, “Ǹjẹ́ òtítọ́ ha ni Ọlọ́run wí pé, ‘Ẹ̀yin kò gbọdọ̀ jẹ èso èyíkéyìí lára àwọn igi tí ó wà nínú ọgbà’?”
Now the snake was wiser than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said to the woman, Has God truly said that you may not take of the fruit of any tree in the garden?
2 Obìnrin náà dá ejò lóhùn pé, “Àwa lè jẹ lára àwọn èso igi tí ó wà nínú ọgbà,
And the woman said, We may take of the fruit of the trees in the garden:
3 ṣùgbọ́n Ọlọ́run sọ pé, ‘Ẹ̀yin kò gbọdọ̀ jẹ lára èso igi tí ó wà láàrín ọgbà, ẹ kò sì gbọdọ̀ fi ọwọ́ kàn án, bí ẹ̀yin bá ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀, ẹ̀yin yóò kùú.’”
But of the fruit of the tree in the middle of the garden, God has said, If you take of it or put your hands on it, death will come to you.
4 Ejò wí fún obìnrin náà pé, “Ẹ̀yin kì yóò kú ikúkíkú kan.”
And the snake said, Death will not certainly come to you:
5 “Nítorí Ọlọ́run mọ̀ wí pé, bí ẹ̀yin bá jẹ nínú rẹ̀, ojú yín yóò là, ẹ̀yin yóò sì dàbí Ọlọ́run, ẹ̀yin yóò sì mọ rere yàtọ̀ sí búburú.”
For God sees that on the day when you take of its fruit, your eyes will be open, and you will be as gods, having knowledge of good and evil.
6 Nígbà tí obìnrin náà rí i wí pé èso igi náà dára fún oúnjẹ àti pé, ó sì dùn ún wò, àti pé ó ń mú ni ní ọgbọ́n, ó mú díẹ̀ níbẹ̀, ó sì jẹ ẹ́. Ó sì mú díẹ̀ fún ọkọ rẹ̀, ẹni tí ó wà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀, òun náà sì jẹ ẹ́.
And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and a delight to the eyes, and to be desired to make one wise, she took of its fruit, and gave it to her husband.
7 Nígbà náà ni ojú àwọn méjèèjì sì là, wọ́n sì mọ̀ pé àwọn wà ní ìhòhò; wọ́n sì rán ewé ọ̀pọ̀tọ́ pọ̀, wọ́n sì fi bo ara wọn.
And their eyes were open and they were conscious that they had no clothing and they made themselves coats of leaves stitched together.
8 Nígbà náà ni ọkùnrin náà àti aya rẹ̀ gbọ́ ìró Olúwa Ọlọ́run bí ó ti ń rìn nínú ọgbà, nígbà tí ojú ọjọ́ tura, wọ́n sì fi ara pamọ́ kúrò níwájú Olúwa Ọlọ́run sí àárín àwọn igi inú ọgbà.
And there came to them the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the evening wind: and the man and his wife went to a secret place among the trees of the garden, away from the eyes of the Lord God.
9 Ṣùgbọ́n Olúwa Ọlọ́run ké pe ọkùnrin náà pé, “Níbo ni ìwọ wà?”
And the voice of the Lord God came to the man, saying, Where are you?
10 Ó dáhùn pé, “Mo gbúròó rẹ̀ nínú ọgbà, ẹ̀rù sì bà mí, nítorí pé, mo wà ní ìhòhò, mo sì fi ara pamọ́.”
And he said, Hearing your voice in the garden I was full of fear, because I was without clothing: and I kept myself from your eyes.
11 Ọlọ́run wí pé, “Ta ni ó wí fún ọ pé ìhòhò ni ìwọ wà? Ṣé ìwọ ti jẹ nínú èso igi tí mo pàṣẹ fún ọ pé ìwọ kò gbọdọ̀ jẹ nínú rẹ̀ ni?”
And he said, Who gave you the knowledge that you were without clothing? Have you taken of the fruit of the tree which I said you were not to take?
12 Ọkùnrin náà wí pé, “Obìnrin tí ìwọ fi fún mi, ni ó fún mi nínú èso igi náà, mo sì jẹ ẹ́.”
And the man said, The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me the fruit of the tree and I took it.
13 Nígbà náà ni Olúwa Ọlọ́run wí pé, “Èwo ni èyí tí ìwọ ṣe yìí?” Obìnrin náà dáhùn pé, “Ejò ni ó tàn mí jẹ, mo sì jẹ ẹ́.”
And the Lord God said to the woman, What have you done? And the woman said, I was tricked by the deceit of the snake and I took it.
14 Nígbà náà ni Olúwa Ọlọ́run wí fún ejò náà pé, “Nítorí tí ìwọ ti ṣe èyí, “Ègún ni fún ọ ju gbogbo ohun ọ̀sìn àti gbogbo ẹranko igbó tókù lọ! Àyà rẹ ni ìwọ yóò fi máa wọ́, ìwọ yóò sì máa jẹ erùpẹ̀ ilẹ̀ ní gbogbo ọjọ́ ayé rẹ.
And the Lord God said to the snake, Because you have done this you are cursed more than all cattle and every beast of the field; you will go flat on the earth, and dust will be your food all the days of your life:
15 Èmi yóò sì fi ọ̀tá sí àárín ìwọ àti obìnrin náà, àti sí àárín irú-ọmọ rẹ àti irú-ọmọ obìnrin náà; òun yóò fọ́ orí rẹ, ìwọ yóò sì bù ú jẹ ní gìgísẹ̀.”
And there will be war between you and the woman and between your seed and her seed: by him will your head be crushed and by you his foot will be wounded.
16 Ọlọ́run wí fún obìnrin náà pé, “Èmi yóò fi kún ìrora rẹ ní àkókò ìbímọ; ni ìrora ni ìwọ yóò máa bí ọmọ. Ọ̀dọ̀ ọkọ rẹ ni ìfẹ́ rẹ yóò máa fà sí, òun ni yóò sì máa ṣe àkóso rẹ.”
To the woman he said, Great will be your pain in childbirth; in sorrow will your children come to birth; still your desire will be for your husband, but he will be your master.
17 Ọlọ́run sì wí fún Adamu pé, “Nítorí pé ìwọ fetí sí aya rẹ, ìwọ sì jẹ nínú èso igi tí mo pàṣẹ fún ọ pé, ‘Ìwọ kò gbọdọ̀ jẹ nínú rẹ̀,’ “Ègún ni fún ilẹ̀ nítorí rẹ; nínú ọ̀pọ̀ làálàá ni ìwọ yóò jẹ nínú rẹ̀, ní gbogbo ọjọ́ ayé rẹ.
And to Adam he said, Because you gave ear to the voice of your wife and took of the fruit of the tree which I said you were not to take, the earth is cursed on your account; in pain you will get your food from it all your life.
18 Ilẹ̀ yóò sì hu ẹ̀gún àti èṣùṣú fún ọ, ewéko igbó ni ìwọ yóò sì máa jẹ.
Thorns and waste plants will come up, and the plants of the field will be your food;
19 Nínú òógùn ojú rẹ ni ìwọ yóò máa jẹun títí tí ìwọ yóò fi padà sí ilẹ̀, nítorí inú ilẹ̀ ni a ti mú ọ jáde wá; erùpẹ̀ ilẹ̀ sá à ni ìwọ, ìwọ yóò sì padà di erùpẹ̀.”
With the hard work of your hands you will get your bread till you go back to the earth from which you were taken: for dust you are and to the dust you will go back.
20 Adamu sì sọ aya rẹ̀ ní Efa nítorí òun ni yóò di ìyá gbogbo alààyè.
And the man gave his wife the name of Eve because she was the mother of all who have life.
21 Olúwa Ọlọ́run, sì dá ẹ̀wù awọ fún Adamu àti aya rẹ̀, ó sì fi wọ̀ wọ́n.
And the Lord God made for Adam and for his wife coats of skins for their clothing.
22 Olúwa Ọlọ́run sì wí pé, “Ọkùnrin náà ti dàbí ọ̀kan lára wa, ó mọ rere àti búburú. A kò gbọdọ̀ jẹ́ kí ó na ọwọ́ rẹ̀ kí ó mú lára èso igi ìyè kí ó sì jẹ, kí ó sì wà láààyè títí láéláé.”
And the Lord God said, Now the man has become like one of us, having knowledge of good and evil; and now if he puts out his hand and takes of the fruit of the tree of life, he will go on living for ever.
23 Nítorí náà, Olúwa Ọlọ́run lé e kúrò nínú ọgbà Edeni láti lọ máa ro ilẹ̀ nínú èyí tí a ti mú un jáde wá.
So the Lord God sent him out of the garden of Eden to be a worker on the earth from which he was taken.
24 Lẹ́yìn tí ó ti lé ènìyàn jáde tán, ó fi àwọn kérúbù àti idà iná tí ó ń kọ mọ̀nàmọ́ná síwájú àti sẹ́yìn láti ṣọ́ ọ̀nà tí ó lọ sí ibi igi ìyè, ní ìhà ìlà-oòrùn ọgbà Edeni.
So he sent the man out; and at the east of the garden of Eden he put winged ones and a flaming sword turning every way to keep the way to the tree of life.
