And the serpent hath been subtile above every beast of the field which Jehovah God hath made, and he saith unto the woman, 'Is it true that God hath said, Ye do not eat of every tree of the garden?'
2 Te dongah huta loh rhul taengah, “Dum thing thaih te ka caak rhoi thai.
And the woman saith unto the serpent, 'Of the fruit of the trees of the garden we do eat,

and of the fruit of the tree which [is] in the midst of the garden God hath said, Ye do not eat of it, nor touch it, lest ye die.'

And the serpent saith unto the woman, 'Dying, ye do not die,
5 Te te na caak rhoi khohnin ah na mik khaw tueng vetih a thae a then ming nah khaw Pathen bangla na om rhoi ni tila Pathen loh a ming dongah ni,” a ti nah.
for God doth know that in the day of your eating of it — your eyes have been opened, and ye have been as God, knowing good and evil.'
6 Huta long khaw caak ham koi thing then la, mik ham khaw hoehhamnah koi la a hmuh. Te vaengah a lungming la om ham thing te a nai. Te dongah a thaih te a loh tih a caak. Te phoeiah a taengkah a va te khaw a paek tih a caak.
And the woman seeth that the tree [is] good for food, and that it [is] pleasant to the eyes, and the tree is desirable to make [one] wise, and she taketh of its fruit and eateth, and giveth also to her husband with her, and he doth eat;
7 Te phoeiah amih rhoi kah mik te bok tueng tih pumtling la a om rhoi te a ming rhoi. Te dongah thaibu hawn te a hui rhoi tih amamih rhoi ham hni la a saii rhoi.
and the eyes of them both are opened, and they know that they [are] naked, and they sew fig-leaves, and make to themselves girdles.

And they hear the sound of Jehovah God walking up and down in the garden at the breeze of the day, and the man and his wife hide themselves from the face of Jehovah God in the midst of the trees of the garden.
9 Tedae BOEIPA Pathen loh hlang tongpa te a khue tih a taengah, “Melam na om,” a ti nah.
And Jehovah God calleth unto the man, and saith to him, 'Where [art] thou?'
10 Tongpa loh, “Dum ah na ol ka yaak dae kai pumtling dongah ni ka rhih tih ka thuh,” a ti nah.
and he saith, 'Thy sound I have heard in the garden, and I am afraid, for I am naked, and I hide myself.'
11 Te dongah Boeipa loh, “Nang pumtling ni tila nang taengah ulae aka puen? Caak ham moenih tila nang kan uen thingkung te na caak nama?” a ti nah.
And He saith, 'Who hath declared to thee that thou [art] naked? of the tree of which I have commanded thee not to eat, hast thou eaten?'

And Jehovah God saith to the woman, 'What [is] this thou hast done?' and the woman saith, 'The serpent hath caused me to forget — and I do eat.'

And Jehovah God saith unto the serpent, 'Because thou hast done this, cursed [art] thou above all the cattle, and above every beast of the field: on thy belly dost thou go, and dust thou dost eat, all days of thy life;
15 Nang laklo neh huta laklo ah khaw, nang kah tiingan laklo neh anih kah tiingan laklo ah khaw, thunkha thunhling ka khueh vetih anih loh na lu ham phop ni. Nang long khaw anih kah khomik te na tuk pah ni,” a ti nah.
and enmity I put between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; he doth bruise thee — the head, and thou dost bruise him — the heel.'
16 Pathen loh huta taengah, “Na thatlohnah neh na rhumpum te ka pungtai rhoela ka pungtai sak ni. Patangnah neh camoe na cun ni. Na lungdueknah te na va ham vetih anih loh nang soah n'taemrhai ni,” a ti nah.
Unto the woman He said, 'Multiplying I multiply thy sorrow and thy conception, in sorrow dost thou bear children, and toward thy husband [is] thy desire, and he doth rule over thee.'
17 Adam te khaw, “Na yuu ol te na hnatang nah. Te dongah, ‘Ca boeh ka ti,’ tih nang kan uen lalah, thingkung lamkah te na caak. Te dongah diklai he nang kong ah thae ka phoei thil coeng. Na hing tue khuiah thatlohnah nen ni buh na caak eh.
And to the man He said, 'Because thou hast hearkened to the voice of thy wife, and dost eat of the tree concerning which I have charged thee, saying, Thou dost not eat of it, cursed [is] the ground on thine account; in sorrow thou dost eat of it all days of thy life,
18 Hling neh lota khaw nang ham daih vetih kohong kah baelhing te na caak ni.
and thorn and bramble it doth bring forth to thee, and thou hast eaten the herb of the field;
19 Na tallung kah hlantui loh diklai la na bo sak daengah ni buh na caak eh. Laipi lamkah nang n'loh dongah laipi la na bal van ni,” a ti nah.
by the sweat of thy face thou dost eat bread till thy return unto the ground, for out of it hast thou been taken, for dust thou [art], and unto dust thou turnest back.'
20 Te phoeiah Adam yuu te aka hing boeih kah a manu la a om ham dongah a ming te Eve tila a sui.
And the man calleth his wife's name Eve: for she hath been mother of all living.
21 Te daengah BOEIPA Pathen loh Adam ham neh a yuu ham maehpho angkidung te a saii pah tih amih rhoi te a bai sak.
And Jehovah God doth make to the man and to his wife coats of skin, and doth clothe them.

And Jehovah God saith, 'Lo, the man was as one of Us, as to the knowledge of good and evil; and now, lest he send forth his hand, and have taken also of the tree of life, and eaten, and lived to the age,' —
23 Te dongah BOEIPA Pathen loh anih te Eden dum lamkah a tueih. Te lamkah ni khohmuen aka tawn ham a loh.
Jehovah God sendeth him forth from the garden of Eden to serve the ground from which he hath been taken;
24 Hlang te khaw a haek coeng tih hingnah thingkung longpuei aka hung ham cherubim neh hmaitak cunghang aka tinghil te Eden dum kah khothoeng ah a khueh.
yea, he casteth out the man, and causeth to dwell at the east of the garden of Eden the cherubs and the flame of the sword which is turning itself round to guard the way of the tree of life.
