< Jenèz 3 >

1 Sèpan se bèt ki te pi rize nan tout bèt raje Seyè a, Bondye a, te kreye. Li di fanm lan konsa. Eske Bondye te janm di piga nou manje donn tout pyebwa ki nan jaden an?
Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made; and he said unto the woman, Hath God indeed said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
2 Fanm lan reponn sèpan an. Nou gen dwa manje donn tout pyebwa ki nan jaden an.
And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden;
3 Men, kanta pou pyebwa ki nan mitan jaden an, Bondye di. Piga nou manje ladan l', piga nou manyen l' menm. Sinon, n'ap mouri.
But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
4 Lè sa a, sèpan an di fanm lan. Se pa vre. Nou p'ap mouri kras.
And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye will surely not die;
5 Bondye di nou sa paske li konnen jou nou manje ladan l', je nou va louvri. n'a vin tankou Bondye, n'a konn sa ki byen ak sa ki mal.
For God doth know, that, on the day ye eat thereof, your eyes will be opened, and ye will be as God, knowing good and evil.
6 Fanm lan gade, li wè jan pyebwa a te bèl, jan fwi yo sanble yo ta bon nan bouch. Li santi li ta manje ladan l' pou je l' ka louvri. Li keyi kèk fwi. Li manje, li pote bay mari l' ki manje tou.
And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and the tree was desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her, and he did eat.
7 Manje yo fin manje, je yo louvri, lè sa a, yo vin konnen yo toutouni. Yo pran kèk fèy figfrans, yo koud yo ansanm, yo fè tanga mete sou yo.
And the eyes of both of them were opened, and they felt that they were naked; and they sewed fig-leaves together, and made themselves aprons.
8 Jou sa a, solèy te fèk fin kouche lè nonm lan ak madanm li tande vwa Seyè a, Bondye a, ki t'ap pwonmennen nan jaden an. Y' al kache nan mitan pyebwa ki nan jaden an pou Seyè a, Bondye a, pa wè yo.
And they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day; and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God amongst the trees of the garden.
9 Men, Seyè a, Bondye a, rele nonm lan, li di l'. Kote ou ye?
And the Lord God called unto the man, and said unto him, Where art thou?
10 Nonm lan reponn li. Mwen tande vwa ou nan jaden an, mwen pè. M al kache pou ou, paske mwen toutouni.
And he said, Thy voice I heard in the garden; and I was afraid, because I am naked; and I hid myself.
11 Seyè a, Bondye a, di l'. Ki moun ki di ou te toutouni? Eske ou te manje fwi pyebwa mwen te di ou pa manje a?
And he said, Who told thee that thou art naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?
12 Nonm lan reponn. Fanm ou te ban mwen an, se li menm ki ban mwen fwi pyebwa a pou m' manje, epi mwen manje l'.
And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.
13 Seyè a, Bondye a, mande fanm lan. Poukisa ou fè sa? Fanm lan reponn li. Se pa mwen non! Se sèpan an wi ki pran tèt mwen ki fè m' manje l'.
And the Lord God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.
14 Seyè a, Bondye a, di sèpan an konsa. Poutèt sa ou fè a, ou madichonnen nan mitan tout bèt jaden ak tout bèt nan bwa. W'a rale sou vant ou. W'a manje pousyè tè jouk jou ou mouri.
And the Lord God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, be thou cursed above all the cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:
15 Ou menm ak fanm lan, m'ap fè nou lènmi yonn ak lòt. Pitit pitit pa l' ak pitit pitit pa ou ap lènmi tou. Pitit pitit li ap kraze tèt ou, epi ou menm w'ap mòde l' nan talon pye l'.
And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; he shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt wound his heel.
16 Li di fanm lan. Lè w'ap fè pitit, m'ap fè soufrans ou vin pi rèd. Wa gen pou soufri anpil lè w'ap akouche. W'ap toujou anvi mari ou. Men, se mari ou ki va chèf ou.
Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy pain and [the suffering of] thy conception; in pain shalt thou bring forth children; and for thy husband shall be thy desire, but he shall rule over thee.
17 Apre sa li di Adan. Ou koute pawòl madanm ou, pa vre! Ou manje fwi pyebwa mwen te ba ou lòd pa manje a. Poutèt sa ou fè a, m'ap madichonnen tè a. W'a gen pou travay di toutan pou fè tè a bay sa ou bezwen pou viv.
And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it; cursed be the ground for thy sake; in pain shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life.
18 Tè a va kale tout kalite pikan ak pengwen ba ou. W'a manje fèy ki pouse nan raje.
And thorns and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herbs of the field.
19 Se swe kouraj ou ki pou fè ou mete yon moso pen nan bouch ou jouk lè wa tounen nan tè kote ou soti a. Paske, se pousyè ou ye, ou gen pou tounen pousyè ankò.
In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground, for out of it wast thou taken; for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.
20 Adan bay madanm li non, li rele l' Ev, paske se li menm ki manman tout moun k'ap viv sou tè a.
And the man called his wife's name Eve [[Chavvah]]; because she was the mother of all living [[Chay]].
21 Lè sa a, Seyè a, Bondye a, pran po bèt, li fè rad pou Adan ansanm ak madanm li, li biye yo.
And the Lord God made unto Adam and to his wife coats of skins, and clothed them.
22 Apre sa, Seyè a, Bondye a, di. Koulye a, Adan vin konnen sa ki byen ak sa ki mal tankou yonn nan nou. Nou p'ap kite l' lonje men l' keyi fwi pyebwa ki bay lavi a pou l' manje l', pou l' pa viv pou tout tan.
And the Lord God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil; and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever—
23 Se konsa, Seyè a, Bondye a, mete Adan deyò nan jaden Edenn lan. Li voye l' al travay tè, menm tè Bondye te pran pou fè l' la.
Therefore the Lord God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from which he was taken.
24 Se konsa, li te mete Adan deyò. Sou bò kote solèy leve nan jaden an, li mete kèk zanj cheriben ak yon manchèt klere kou dife nan men yo. Yo t'ap dragonnen nan tout direksyon pou anpeche moun pwoche bò pyebwa ki bay lavi a.
So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden the Cherubim, and the flaming sword which revolveth, to guard the way to the tree of life.
