< Genesis 3 >

1 Pahui loe Angraeng mah sak ih moi kasan boih thungah aling thaih koek ah oh. Anih mah nongpata khaeah, Takha thungah kaom thingkung hoiah kathai athaih to caa hoi boih hmah, tiah Sithaw mah thuih tangtang maw? tiah a naa.
And the serpent was more crafty than any animal of the field which Jehovah Elohim had made. And it said to the woman, Is it even so, that God has said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
2 Nongpata mah pahui khaeah, Takha thungah kaom thingkungnawk hoiah kathai athaih to ka caak hoi thaih;
And the woman said to the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden;
3 toe Sithaw mah, Takha um ah kaom thingkung pong ih athaih loe caa hoi hmah, sui doeh sui hoi hmah, na dueh hoi tih, tiah thuih, tiah a naa.
but of the fruit of the tree that is in the midst of the garden, God has said, Ye shall not eat of it, and ye shall not touch it, lest ye die.
4 Pahui mah nongpata khaeah, Na dueh hoi tangtang mak ai, tiah a naa.
And the serpent said to the woman, Ye will not certainly die;
5 Na caak hoi niah na mik to amtueng ueloe, sithawnawk baktih toengah, kasae kahoih na panoek hoi toeng tih, tiah Sithaw mah panoek pongah ni, to tiah ang thuih, tiah a naa.
but God knows that in the day ye eat of it, your eyes will be opened, and ye will be as God, knowing good and evil.
6 Nongpata mah thingkung loe caak han kahoih thingkung ah a hnuk, mik hoiah khit moe, palunghahaih paek thaih thingkung ah oh pongah, thingthai to pakhrik moe, a caak, a sava han doeh a paek; anih mah doeh caak toeng.
And the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a pleasure for the eyes, and the tree was to be desired to give intelligence; and she took of its fruit, and ate, and gave also to her husband with her, and he ate.
7 To naah nihnik ih mik to amtueng, nihnik loe bangkrai ah ni ka oh hoi, tiah panoekhaih to a tawnh hoi boeh; to naah thaiduet qamnawk to a huih hoi moe, kaeng ah angzaeng hoi.
And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked. And they sewed fig-leaves together, and made themselves aprons.
8 Ni amding ruehaih atue phak naah loe, takha thungah amkae Angraeng Sithaw ih atuen to a thaih hoi: Adam hoi anih ih zu mah Angraeng to takha thung ih thingkungnawk salakah anghawk hoi taak ving.
And they heard the voice of Jehovah Elohim, walking in the garden in the cool of the day. And Man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of Jehovah Elohim, in the midst of the trees of the garden.
9 Angraeng Sithaw mah Adam to kawk, anih khaeah, Naa ah maw na oh? tiah a naa.
And Jehovah Elohim called to Man, and said to him, Where art thou?
10 Anih mah, Takha thungah na lok to ka thaih, bangkrai ah ka oh pongah, zithaih ka tawnh moe, kang hawk ving boeh, tiah a naa.
And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I feared, because I am naked; and I hid myself.
11 Anih mah, bangkrai ah na oh, tiah mi mah maw ang thuih? Caa hmah tiah kang thuih ih thingthai to na caak ving boeh tani? tiah a naa.
And he said, Who told thee that thou art naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree of which I commanded thee not to eat?
12 To naah Adam mah, Kai han nang paek ih nongpata mah thingkung pong ih athaih to ang paek moe, ka caak, tiah a naa.
And Man said, The woman, whom thou hast given [to be] with me, she gave me of the tree, and I ate.
13 Angraeng Sithaw mah nongpata khaeah, Tipongah hae tiah na sak loe? tiah a naa. Nongpata mah, Pahui mah ang ling pongah, ka caak, tiah a naa.
And Jehovah Elohim said to the woman, What is this thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent deceived me, and I ate.
14 To pongah Angraeng Sithaw mah pahui khaeah, Hae hmuen hae na sak boeh pongah, Moinawk boih, taw ih moisannawk boih pongah tangoenghaih na zok boeh; nang loe zok hoiah avak ueloe, na hing thung maiphu to na caa tih boeh.
And Jehovah Elohim said to the serpent, Because thou hast done this, be thou cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field. On thy belly shalt thou go, and eat dust all the days of thy life.
15 Nang hoi nongpata salak, na tii hoi nongpata ih atii salak misa ah ka suek han; anih mah na lu to ati tih, nang mah anih ih khok tahmawh to na patuk pae tih, tiah a naa.
And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; he shall crush thy head, and thou shalt crush his heel.
16 Nongpata khaeah, Zok na pomh naah nathaih kating ai kang pungsak han, kana pauephaih hoiah caa na sah tih; na sava koehhaih palung loe boeng mak ai, anih mah na uk tih, tiah a naa.
To the woman he said, I will greatly increase thy travail and thy pregnancy; with pain thou shalt bear children; and to thy husband shall be thy desire, and he shall rule over thee.
17 Adam khaeah, Na zu ih lok to na tahngaih moe, Caa hmah, tiah kang thuih ih thingthai to na caak boeh pongah, nang pongah long loe tangoenghaih zok boeh; na hing thung patanghaih hoi toksak naah ni buh na caa tih boeh.
And to Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened to the voice of thy wife, and eaten of the tree of which I commanded thee saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed be the ground on thy account; with toil shalt thou eat [of] it all the days of thy life;
18 Nang han soekhring congca kam prawksak han; lawk ih aannawk to na caa tih;
and thorns and thistles shall it yield thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field.
19 long hoiah nang zoh baktih toengah, long ah nam laem let ai karoek to, na mikhmai ah angsatui long naah ni buh na caa vop tih; maiphu ah na oh pongah, maiphu ah nam laem let tih, tiah a naa.
In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, until thou return to the ground: for out of it wast thou taken. For dust thou art; and unto dust shalt thou return.
20 Kahing kaminawk boih ih amno ah oh pongah, Adam mah a zu to Evi, tiah ahmin phui.
And Man called his wife's name Eve; because she is the mother of all living.
21 Angraeng Sithaw mah Adam hoi a zu hanah, moihin kahni to sak pae moe, angkhuksak.
And Jehovah Elohim made Adam and his wife coats of skin, and clothed them.
22 Angraeng Sithaw mah, Khenah, kami loe kasae kahoih panoekhaih bang ah, aicae thung ih kami maeto baktiah oh toeng boeh; vaihi anih mah ban payangh ueloe, dungzan ah hing hanah thingthai to pakhrik pacoengah, caa moeng tih, tiah thuih.
And Jehovah Elohim said, Behold, Man is become as one of us, to know good and evil. And now, lest he stretch out his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever...!
23 To pongah angmah tacawthaih long ah toksak hanah, Angraeng Sithaw mah kami to Eden takha thung hoiah haek ving.
Therefore Jehovah Elohim sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from which he was taken.
24 Kami to haek pacoengah, hinghaih thingkung loklam to toep hanah, Cherubimnawk hoi ahnuk ahma angmet thaih hmai sumsen to Eden takha ni angyae bang ah a suek.
And he drove out Man; and he set the Cherubim, and the flame of the flashing sword, toward the east of the garden of Eden, to guard the way to the tree of life.
