< Genesis 3 >

1 The snake was more cunning than all the other wild animals that Yahweh God had made. [One day Satan gave to] the snake [the ability to talk to the woman]. The snake said to her, “Did God really say to you, ‘Do not eat the fruit from any of the trees in the park/garden’?”
Ary ny menarana dia fetsy noho ny bibi-dia rehetra izay nataon’ i Jehovah Andriamanitra. Ary hoy izy tamin-dravehivavy: Hanky! efa nataon’ Andriamanitra hoe: Aza ihinananareo ny hazo rehetra amin’ ny saha?
2 The woman replied, “[What God said was], ‘Do not eat the fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the park/garden or touch it. If you do that, you will die. But you can eat fruit from any of the other trees.’”
Fa hoy ravehivavy tamin’ ny menarana: Ny voan’ ny hazo eo amin’ ny saha dia azonay ihinanana ihany;
3
fa ny voan’ ny hazo eo afovoan’ ny saha kosa no efa nataon’ Andriamanitra hoe: Aza hihinanareo na tendrenareo izany, fandrao maty ianareo.
4 The snake said to the woman, “No, you will certainly not die. God said that
Ary hoy ny menarana tamin-dravehivavy: Tsy ho faty tsy akory ianareo;
5 [only] because he knows that when you eat fruit from that tree, [you will understand new things. It will be as though] your eyes are opened [MET], and you will know what is good [to do] and what is evil [to do], just as God does.”
fa fantatr’ Andriamanitra fa na amin’ izay andro hihinananareo azy dia hahiratra ny masonareo, ka ho tahaka an’ Andriamanitra ianareo, hahalala ny ny tsara sy ny ratsy.
6 The woman saw that the fruit on that tree was good to eat, and it was very beautiful, and she desired it because [she thought] it would make her wise. So she picked some of the fruit and ate it. Then she gave some to her husband, and he ate it.
Ary hitan-dravehivavy fa tsara ho fihinana ny hazo sady mahafinaritra ny maso ary hazo mahatsiriritra hampahahendry, dia nanotazany ny voany ka nihinanany; ary nomeny koa ny vadiny; ka dia nihinana izy.
7 Immediately [it was as though] their eyes were opened, and they realized that they were naked, so they were ashamed. So they [picked] some fig leaves and fastened them together to make clothes for themselves.
Dia nahiratra ny mason’ izy mivady, ka fantany fa mitanjaka izy; ary nanjaitra ravin’ aviavy izy, ka nataony sikina ho azy.
8 [Late that afternoon], when a cool breeze was blowing, they heard the sound/footsteps of Yahweh as he was walking in the park/garden. So the man and his wife hid themselves among the bushes in the park/garden, [so that Yahweh God would not see them].
Ary nandre an’ i Jehovah Andriamanitra nitsangantsangana teo amin’ ny saha izy, rehefa ho hariva ny andro; ary ralehilahy sy ny vadiny niery ny tavan’ i Jehovah Andriamanitra tao anaty hazo tao amin’ ny saha.
9 But Yahweh God called to the man, saying to him, “Why are you [trying to hide from me]?”
Ary Jehovah Andriamanitra dia niantso an-dralehilahy ka nanao taminy hoe: Aiza moa ianao?
10 The man replied, “I heard the sound of your [footsteps/walking] in the garden, and I was naked, so I was afraid and I hid myself.”
Dia hoy izy: Nandre Anao tao amin’ ny saha aho; dia natahotra aho, satria mitanjaka, ka dia niery.
11 God said, “How did you find out you were naked [RHQ]? It must be because you ate some of the fruit [from the tree] that I told you, ‘Do not eat its fruit.’” [RHQ]
Ary hoy Izy: Iza moa no nanambara taminao fa mitanjaka ianao? Efa nihinanao va ny hazo izay nandrarako anao tsy hihinananao?
12 The man said, “You gave me this woman to be with me. She is the one who gave me some of the fruit from that tree, and so I ate it.”
Dia hoy ralehilahy: Ny vehivavy izay nomenao ho namako, izy no nanome ahy ny voankazo, ka dia nihinana aho.
13 Then Yahweh God said to the woman, “Why did you do such a thing?” The woman replied, “I ate some of the fruit because the snake deceived me.”
Ary hoy Jehovah Andriamanitra tamin-dravehivavy: Inona izao nataonao izao? Dia hoy ravehivavy: Ny menarana no namitaka ahy, ka dia nihinana aho.
14 Then Yahweh God said to the snake, “Because you did this, of all the livestock and the wild animals, I will curse/punish you alone. As a result, you [and all other snakes] will scurry across the ground on your bellies, and so what you eat will have dirt [on it] as long as you live.
Ary hoy Jehovah Andriamanitra tamin’ ny menarana: Satria nanao izany ianao, koa amin’ ny biby fiompy rehetra sy ny bibi-dia rehetra dia ianao no voaozona: ny kibonao no handehananao, ary vovo-tany no hohaninao amin’ ny andro rehetra hiainanao.
15 And I will cause you and the woman to act in a hostile way toward each other, and I will cause your brood and her descendants to act hostilely toward each other. You will strike at the heel [of one descendant] of hers, but he will strike your head.”
Dia hampifandrafesiko ianao sy ny vehivavy ary ny taranakao sy ny taranany: izy hanorotoro ny lohanao, ary ianao kosa hanorotoro ny ombelahin-tongony.
16 Then Yahweh said to the woman, “You will have great pain when you give birth to children; you will suffer great pain as your children are being born [DOU]. You will greatly desire your husband [to show affection for you], but he will rule over you.”
Ary hoy koa Izy tamin-dravehivavy: Hahabe dia hahabe ny fahorianao Aho, indrindra fa raha manan’ anaka ianao; ary fahoriana no hiterahanao zanaka; ary ny vadinao no hianteheran’ ny fanirianao, ka izy no hanapaka anao.
17 Then Yahweh said to the man, “You heeded what your wife said, and you ate some of the fruit [of the tree] concerning which I commanded you saying, ‘Do not eat it.’ So I will make it difficult [to grow things in] the ground because of what you did. You will have to work hard as long as you live to produce things from the ground to eat.
Ary hoy koa Izy tamin’ i Adama: Satria efa nihaino ny feon’ ny vadinao ianao, ka nihinananao ny hazo, izay nandrarako anao hoe: Aza ihinananao izany, dia voaozona ny tany noho izay nataonao; fahoriana no hihinanao ny vokany amin’ ny andro rehetra hiainanao.
18 Thornbushes and thistle plants and other weeds will grow [and prevent what you have planted from growing]. And for food, you will have to eat things that just grow in your fields.
Ary haniry tsilo sy hery ho anao izy; ary hohaninao ny anana famboly.
19 [All your life] you will sweat as you work hard to produce food to eat. Then you will die [EUP], and your [body will be buried] in the ground. [I made] you from soil, so when you [die and are buried your body will decay] and become soil again.”
Ny fahatsembohan’ ny tavanao no hahazoanao hanina mandra-piverinao any amin’ ny tany; fa ny tany no nanalana anao; fa vovoka ianao, ary hiverina ho amin’ ny vovoka indray ianao.
20 [The man, whose name was] Adam, named his wife Eve, [which means ‘living’], because she became the ancestor of all living people.
Ary ralehilahy nanao ny anaran’ ny vadiny hoe Eva, satria izy no renin’ ny olombelona rehetra.
21 Then Yahweh God [killed some animals and] made clothes from their skins for Adam and his wife.
Ary Jehovah Andriamanitra nanao akanjo hoditra ho an’ i Adama sy ny vadiny ka nampiakanjo azy.
22 Then Yahweh said, “Look! Those two have become like us because they know what is good [to do] and what is evil [to do]. So now, it will not be good if they reach out and pick and eat [some of the fruit from] the tree [which enables people who eat it] to live [forever]!”
Ary hoy Jehovah Andriamanitra: Indro, ny olona efa tonga tahaka ny anankiray amintsika ka hahalala ny tsara sy ny ratsy; ary ankehitriny, andrao haninjitra ny tànany izy ka hakany koa ny hazon’ aina, ary hohaniny, ka ho velona mandrakizay izy;
23 So Yahweh God expelled the man and his wife from the garden of Eden. Yahweh God had created Adam from the ground, but now he forced him to till that ground [so that he could grow food to eat].
ka dia nesorin’ i Jehovah Andriamanitra tamin’ ny saha Edena izy hiasa ny tany izay nanalana azy.
24 After Yahweh expelled them, on the east side of the garden he placed (cherubim/creatures with wings) and [an angel holding] a flaming sword which flashed back and forth. He did that in order to block the entrance to the garden, so that people could not go back to the tree that enables people [who eat its fruit] to live [forever].
Eny, noroahiny ny olona; ary nampitoeriny tany atsinanan’ ny saha Edena ny kerobima sy ny lelafon’ ny sabatra mihebiheby hiambina ny lalana mankany amin’ ny hazon’ aina.
