< 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 serpent was more subtle than any animal of the field which Yahweh God had made. He said to the woman, “Has God really said, ‘You shall not eat of any tree of the garden’?”
2 Obìnrin náà dá ejò lóhùn pé, “Àwa lè jẹ lára àwọn èso igi tí ó wà nínú ọgbà,
The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat fruit from the trees of 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 not the fruit of the tree which is in the middle of the garden. God has said, ‘You shall not eat of it. You shall not touch it, lest you die.’”
4 Ejò wí fún obìnrin náà pé, “Ẹ̀yin kì yóò kú ikúkíkú kan.”
The serpent said to the woman, “You won’t really die,
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 knows that in the day you eat it, your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing 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.
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 some of its fruit, and ate. Then she gave some to her husband with her, and he ate it, too.
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.
Their eyes were opened, and they both knew that they were naked. They sewed fig leaves together, and made coverings for themselves.
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.
They heard Yahweh God’s voice walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of Yahweh God among the trees of the garden.
9 Ṣùgbọ́n Olúwa Ọlọ́run ké pe ọkùnrin náà pé, “Níbo ni ìwọ wà?”
Yahweh God called to the man, and said to him, “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.”
The man said, “I heard your voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; so I hid myself.”
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?”
God said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?”
12 Ọkùnrin náà wí pé, “Obìnrin tí ìwọ fi fún mi, ni ó fún mi nínú èso igi náà, mo sì jẹ ẹ́.”
The man said, “The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me fruit from the tree, and I ate 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.”
Yahweh God said to the woman, “What have you done?” The woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”
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.
Yahweh God said to the serpent, “Because you have done this, you are cursed above all livestock, and above every animal of the field. You shall go on your belly and you shall eat dust 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.”
I will put hostility between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring. He will bruise your head, and you will bruise his heel.”
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, “I will greatly multiply your pain in childbirth. You will bear children in pain. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you.”
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.
To Adam he said, “Because you have listened to your wife’s voice, and have eaten from the tree, about which I commanded you, saying, ‘You shall not eat of it,’ the ground is cursed for your sake. You will eat from it with much labor all the days of your life.
18 Ilẹ̀ yóò sì hu ẹ̀gún àti èṣùṣú fún ọ, ewéko igbó ni ìwọ yóò sì máa jẹ.
It will yield thorns and thistles to you; and you will eat the herb of the field.
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.”
You will eat bread by the sweat of your face until you return to the ground, for you were taken out of it. For you are dust, and you shall return to dust.”
20 Adamu sì sọ aya rẹ̀ ní Efa nítorí òun ni yóò di ìyá gbogbo alààyè.
The man called his wife Eve because she would be the mother of all the living.
21 Olúwa Ọlọ́run, sì dá ẹ̀wù awọ fún Adamu àti aya rẹ̀, ó sì fi wọ̀ wọ́n.
Yahweh God made garments of animal skins for Adam and for his wife, and clothed them.
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.”
Yahweh God said, “Behold, the man has become like one of us, knowing good and evil. Now, lest he reach out his hand, and also take of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever—”
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.
Therefore Yahweh God sent him out from the garden of Eden, to till the ground 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 drove out the man; and he placed cherubim at the east of the garden of Eden, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to guard the way to the tree of life.
