Genesis 3
1 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’?”
Na ɔwɔ yɛ ɔdaadaafo wɔ wuram mmoadoma a Awurade Nyankopɔn abɔ wɔn no nyinaa mu. Ɔwɔ no kɔɔ ɔbea no nkyɛn kobisaa no se, “Enti ɛyɛ ampa ara sɛ, Onyankopɔn se, ‘Munnni turo yi mu aduaba biara?’”
2 The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat fruit from the trees of the garden,
Ɔbea no buaa ɔwɔ se, “Yetumi di nnua a ɛwɔ turo yi mu no so aduaba biara,
3 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.’”
nanso Onyankopɔn kae se, ‘Ɛnsɛ sɛ yedi dua a esi turo no mfimfini no so aduaba, na ɛnsɛ sɛ yɛde yɛn nsa mpo ka, anyɛ saa a yebewu.’”
4 The serpent said to the woman, “You won’t really die,
Na ɔwɔ no ka kyerɛɛ ɔbea no se, “Morenwuwu.
5 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.”
Mmom, Onyankopɔn nim sɛ, da a mubedi no ara pɛ, mo ani bɛba mo ho so, ama moayɛ sɛ Onyankopɔn, na moahu papa ne bɔne.”
6 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.
Bere a ɔbea no huu sɛ dua a esi mfimfini no so aba no wodi a, ɛbɛyɛ yie, na ɛyɛ akɔnnɔ, na afei ɛtew ani no, ɔtew bi dii, de bi maa ne kunu a na ɔne no wɔ hɔ no, maa ɔno nso dii.
7 Their eyes were opened, and they both knew that they were naked. They sewed fig leaves together, and made coverings for themselves.
Wodi wiee no, wɔn baanu ani baa wɔn ho so, na wohuu sɛ wɔn nyinaa da adagyaw. Enti wɔkekaa nhaban sisii anim, de kataa wɔn adagyaw so.
8 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.
Da no anwummere, wɔtee Awurade Nyankopɔn nka sɛ ɔnam turo no mu; enti Adam ne ne yere Hawa de wɔn ho kosiee nnua a ɛwɔ turo mu hɔ no mu sɛnea Awurade Nyankopɔn renhu wɔn.
9 Yahweh God called to the man, and said to him, “Where are you?”
Na Awurade Nyankopɔn frɛɛ Adam bisaa no se, “Mowɔ he?”
10 The man said, “I heard your voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; so I hid myself.”
Adam buae se, “Metee wo nka wɔ turo no mu hɔ, nanso na misuro, efisɛ na meda adagyaw nti mekɔtɛwee.”
11 God said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?”
Na Onyankopɔn bisaa no se, “Hena na ɔka kyerɛɛ wo se na woda adagyaw? Woadi dua a meka kyerɛɛ wo se nni so aba no bi ana?”
12 The man said, “The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me fruit from the tree, and I ate it.”
Adam kae se, “Yiw, nanso ɔbea no a wode no maa me sɛ me ne no ntena no na ɔde aduaba a ɔtew fii dua no so no brɛɛ me maa midii.”
13 Yahweh God said to the woman, “What have you done?” The woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”
Enti Awurade Nyankopɔn bisaa ɔbea no se, “Dɛn na woayɛ yi?” Ɔbea no buae se, “Ɔwɔ no na ɔdaadaa me ma midii.”
14 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.
Enti Awurade Nyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ ɔwɔ no se, “Esiane saa ade a woayɛ yi nti, “Wɔadome wo wɔ mmoa nyinaa ne nkekaboa mu. Wobɛwea wʼafuru so, na wo nkwanna nyinaa woadi mfutuma.
15 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.”
Mede ɔtan bɛto wo ne ɔbea no ne wʼasefo ne nʼasefo ntam. Ɔno na ɔbɛbɔ wo ti, na wo nso woaka ne nantin.”
16 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.”
Afei, Awurade Nyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ ɔbea no nso se, “Wobɛte ɔyaw pa ara wɔ wʼawo mu; ɔyaw mu na wobɛwo mma. Eyi nyinaa akyi no, wʼani begyina wo kunu na obedi wo so.”
17 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.
Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ Adam nso se, “Esiane sɛ wutiee wo yere asɛm, na wudii dua a mehyɛɛ wo se, ‘nni so aba no’ nti, “Madome asase, na ɔbrɛ ne ɔhaw mu na wubedidi so wo nkwanna nyinaa.
18 It will yield thorns and thistles to you; and you will eat the herb of the field.
Ebefifi nsɔe ne nkyɛkyerɛ ama wo na woadi wuram nhaban.
19 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.”
Wubesiam wʼanim fifiri ansa na woanya aduan adi, kosi sɛ wubewu akɔ dɔte mu, efisɛ dɔte no mu na menwen wo fii; woyɛ dɔte, na dɔte mu na wobɛsan akɔ.”
20 The man called his wife Eve because she would be the mother of all the living.
Adam too ne yere no din Hawa, efisɛ ɔno na ɔbɛyɛ ateasefo nyinaa na.
21 Yahweh God made garments of animal skins for Adam and for his wife, and clothed them.
Awurade Nyankopɔn de aboa nhoma yɛɛ ntade maa Adam ne ne yere Hawa de kataa wɔn ho.
22 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—”
Awurade Nyankopɔn kae se, “Afei, onipa no abɛyɛ sɛ yɛn ara a, wahu papa ne bɔne. Ɛnsɛ sɛ yɛma no kwan na ɔteɛ ne nsa kɔtew nkwa dua no so aba no bi di, na ɔtena ase afebɔɔ.”
23 Therefore Yahweh God sent him out from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from which he was taken.
Enti Awurade Nyankopɔn pam no fii Eden turo no mu sɛ ɔnkɔyɛ adwuma wɔ asase a wɔnwenee no fii mu no so.
24 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.
Ɔpam onipa no, ɔde Kerubim ne afoa a ɛdɛw twaa ne ho fa baabiara no sii Eden turo no apuei fam sɛ ɛnwɛn ɔkwan a ɛkɔ nkwa dua no ho no.
