UGenesise 3 Isono sika-Adamu no-Eva nokulahlwa kwabo

¹ Inyoka yayinobuqili kunazo zonke izilwane zasendle abezenzile uJehova uNkulunkulu. Yasisithi kowesifazana: Yebo, uNkulunkulu wathi: Lingadli kuyo yonke imithi yensimu?

² Owesifazana wasesithi enyokeni: Singazidla izithelo zemithi yensimu.

³ Kepha isithelo somuthi ophakathi nensimu uNkulunkulu wathi: Ningasidli, ningathinti, funa nife.

⁴ Inyoka yathi kowesifazane: “Aniyikufa nokufa.”

⁵ Ngoba uNkulunkulu uyazi ukuthi mhla lisidla, amehlo enu azavuleka, njalo lizakuba njengonkulunkulu, likwazi okuhle lokubi.

⁶ Owesifazane ebona ukuthi umuthi wawulungele ukudliwa, nokuthi uyabukeka emehlweni, nomuthi onxanelekayo ukuhlakaniphisa, wathatha isithelo sawo, wadla, wanika indoda yakhe; wadla.

⁷ Ayesevuleka amehlo abo bobabili, babona ukuthi bahamba ze; basebethunga amaqabunga omkhiwane, bazenzela izigqoko.

⁸ Base bezwa izwi likaJehova uNkulunkulu ehamba ensimini ngokuphola kwelanga; u-Adamu nomkakhe bacasha ebusweni bukaJehova uNkulunkulu phakathi kwemithi yensimu.

⁹ INkosi uNkulunkulu yasibiza indoda, yathi kuye: Ungaphi?

¹⁰ U-Adamu wathi: “Ngizwe izwi lakho ensimini, ngesaba, ngokuba nginqunu; ngase ngicasha.

¹¹ Wathi: “Ngubani okutshele ukuthi uhamba ze na?” Udlile yini emthini engakuyala ngawo ukuba ungadli kuwo na?

¹² Wayesethi umuntu: “Owesifazane onginike yena ukuba abe nami, nguyena owangipha emthini, ngadla;

¹³ INkosi uNkulunkulu yathi kowesifazane: “Kuyini lokhu okwenzileyo?” Wathi owesifazane: Inyoka ingikhohlisile, ngadla.

¹⁴ UJehova uNkulunkulu wathi enyokeni: “Ngokuba usukwenzile lokho, uqalekisiwe ngaphezu kwezinkomo zonke naphezu kwazo zonke izilwane zasendle; uyakuhamba emlonyeni wakho, udle uthuli zonke izinsuku zokuhamba kwakho.

¹⁵ Ngiyakubeka ubutha phakathi kwakho nowesifazane, naphakathi kwenzalo yakho nenzalo yakhe; yona iyakuchoboza ikhanda lakho, wena uyakulimaza isithende sayo.

¹⁶ Wathi kowesifazane: “Ngiyakwandisa kakhulu usizi lwakho nokukhulelwa kwakho; ngosizi uyakuzala abantwana; ukufisa kwakho kuyakuba sendodeni yakho, yona izokubusa.

¹⁷ Wathi ku-Adamu: “Ngokuba ulalele izwi lomkakho, wadla kuwo umuthi engakuyala ngawo, ngathi: Ungadli kuwo; uqalekisiwe umhlaba; uyakudla kuwo ngosizi zonke izinsuku zokuhamba kwakho;

¹⁸ Iyakukuvezela ameva namakhakhasi; uyakudla izitshalo zasendle;

¹⁹ Ngesithukuthuku sobuso bakho uyakudla isinkwa uze ubuyele emhlabathini; ngoba nathathwa kuwo; ngokuba uluthuli, uyakubuyela othulini.

²⁰ U-Adamu waqamba umkakhe ngokuthi u-Eva; ngoba wayengunina wabo bonke abaphilayo.

²¹ UJehova uNkulunkulu wenzela u-Adamu nomkakhe izindwangu zesikhumba, wabembathisa.

²² INkosi uNkulunkulu yathi: Bheka, umuntu usenjengomunye wethu ukwazi okuhle nokubi; futhi manje njengoba engaseluli isandla sakhe futhi futhi athathe emthini wokuphila adle futhi aphile kuze kube phakade.

²³ Ngakho uJehova uNkulunkulu wamkhipha ensimini yase-Edene ukuba alime umhlabathi athathwe kuwo.

²⁴ Waseyixotsha indoda; wabeka amakherubi ngasempumalanga kwensimu yase-Edene, nenkemba yelangabi ephenduka inhlangothi zonke ukuba ilinde indlela yomuthi wokuphila.
