< Genesis 3 >

1 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of any tree of the garden?
Pea naʻe olopoto lahi hake ʻae ngata ʻi he manu kotoa pē ʻoe fonua, ʻaia naʻe ngaohi ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua. Pea pehē ʻe ia ki he fefine, “ʻOku moʻoni koā kuo pehē ʻe he ʻOtua, ‘ʻE ʻikai te mo kai ʻi he ʻakau kotoa pē ʻoe ngoue?’”
2 And the woman said unto the serpent, Of the fruit of the trees of the garden we may eat:
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he fefine ki he ngata, “ʻOku ngofua ʻema kai ʻi he fua ʻoe ngaahi ʻakau ʻoe ngoue:
3 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.
Ka ko e fua ʻoe ʻakau ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he loto ngoue, kuo folofola mai ʻe he ʻOtua, ‘ʻE ʻikai te mo kai ai, pea ʻe ʻikai te mo ala ki ai, telia naʻa mo mate.’”
4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
Pea pehē ʻe he ngata ki he fefine, “ʻOku ʻikai moʻoni te mo mate.
5 for God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as God, knowing good and evil.
He ʻoku ʻilo ʻe he ʻOtua, ʻi he ʻaho te mo kai ai, ʻe toki ʻā ai homo mata, pea te mo hangē ko e ʻotua, ke ʻilo ai ʻae lelei mo e kovi.”
6 And 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 of the fruit thereof, and did eat; and she gave also unto her husband with her, and he did eat.
Pea ʻi he mamata ʻe he fefine ʻoku lelei ʻae ʻakau ki he kai, mo matamatalelei ki he mata, pea ko e ʻakau ke velevele ki ai ke fakapotoʻi, naʻa ne toʻo ai hono fua, ʻo kai, pea naʻa ne ʻange foki ki hono ʻhusepāniti, pea naʻa ne kai.
7 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.
Pea naʻe ʻā ai ʻae mata ʻokinaua ʻosi pe, pea na ʻilo kuo na telefua; pea naʻa na tui ʻae lou fiki, ʻona vala ʻaki ia.
8 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.
Pea naʻa na fanongo ki he leʻo ʻo Sihova ko e ʻOtua, ʻi he ʻalu ʻi he ngoue ʻi he mokomoko ʻoe ʻaho: pea naʻe toitoi ʻa ʻAtama mo hono uaifi, mei he ʻao ʻo Sihova ko e ʻOtua, ʻi he ngaahi ʻakau ʻoe ngoue.
9 And the LORD God called unto the man, and said unto him, Where art thou?
Pea naʻe ui ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua kia ʻAtama, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “ʻOku ke ʻi fē?”
10 And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.
Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Naʻaku fanongo ki ho leʻo ʻi he ngoue, pea naʻaku manavahē, koeʻuhi kuo u telefua; pea u toitoi ai.”
11 And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?
Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Ko hai kuo fakahā kiate koe ʻoku ke telefua? Kuo ke kai ʻi he ʻakau, ʻaia naʻaku fekau kiate koe, ke ʻoua naʻa ke kai ai?”
12 And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.
Pea pehē ʻe he tangata, “Ko e fefine ʻaia naʻa ke foaki ke ma nonofo, naʻe ʻomi ʻe ia kiate au mei he ʻakau pea u kai ai.”
13 And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtua ki he fefine, “Ko e hā eni kuo ke fai?” Pea pehē ʻe he fefine, “Naʻe kākaaʻi au ʻe he ngata, pea u kai.”
14 And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, cursed art thou above all 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:
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtua ki he ngata, “Koeʻuhi kuo ke fai eni, kuo ke malaʻia lahi hake ʻi he fanga manu lalata kotoa pē, mo e manu kotoa pē ʻoe vao; te ke ngaolo koe ʻi ho kete, pea te ke kai ʻae efu ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho kotoa pē ʻo hoʻo moʻui:
15 and I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed: it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
pea te u tuku ʻae taufehiʻa ʻiate koe mo e fefine, pea ki ho hako mo hono hako; ʻe laiki ʻe ia ho ʻulu, pea te ke fakavolu ʻe koe ʻa hono muivaʻe.”
16 Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia ki he fefine, “Te u fakalahi ʻaupito ʻa hoʻo mamahi ʻi hoʻo fanafanau: te ke fāʻeleʻi ʻae fānau ʻi he mamahi; pea ʻe ʻi ho husepāniti ʻa hoʻo holi, pea te ne puleʻi koe.”
17 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 is the ground for thy sake; in toil shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia kia ʻAtama, “Koeʻuhi kuo ke tokanga ki he leʻo ʻo ho uaifi, pea kuo ke kai ʻi he ʻakau ʻaia ne u fekau kiate koe, ‘Ke ʻoua naʻa ke kai ai:’ kuo malaʻia ʻae kelekele koeʻuhi ko koe; te ke kai mei ai ʻi he mamahi ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho kotoa pē ʻo hoʻo moʻui;
18 thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field;
‌ʻe tupu mei ai kiate koe ʻae ʻakau talatala mo e talatalaʻāmoa; pea te ke kai ʻae ʻakau iiki ʻoe fonua;
19 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.
te ke kai ʻae meʻakai ʻi he kakava ʻo ho mata, kaeʻoua ke ke foki ki he kelekele; he naʻe toʻo koe mei ai: he ko e efu koe, pea te ke toe foki ki he efu.”
20 And the man called his wife’s name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.
Pea naʻe ui ʻe ʻAtama ʻae hingoa ʻo hono uaifi ko ʻIvi; koeʻuhi ko e faʻē ia ʻoe kakai moʻui kotoa pē.
21 And the LORD God made for Adam and for his wife coats of skins, and clothed them.
Naʻe ngaohi foki ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua mei he kiliʻi manu, ʻae ngaahi kofu kia ʻAtama mo hono uaifi, pea naʻa ne fakakofuʻi ʻakinaua.
22 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:
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtua, “Vakai, kuo hoko ʻae tangata ke hangē ko ha taha ʻiate kitautolu, ke ne ʻilo ʻae lelei mo e kovi: pea ko eni, telia naʻa mafao atu ʻe ia hono nima, pea ne toli foki mei he ʻakau ʻoe moʻui, ʻo kai, pea moʻui ʻo taʻengata:”
23 therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.
Ko ia naʻe fekau atu ia ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua mei he ngoue ʻo ʻIteni, ke ne ngāue ki he kelekele ʻaia naʻe toʻo ia mei ai.
24 So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden the Cherubim, and the flame of a sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.
Pea naʻa ne kapusi ai ʻae tangata pea ne tuku ki he [potu ]hahake ʻoe ngoue ʻo ʻIteni, ʻae selupimi, mo e heletā ulo, ʻaia naʻe foli fakatakamilo, ke leʻohi ʻae hala ʻoe ʻakau ʻoe moʻui.
