Di Lie Wey di Snake Talk
3 1 Di snake sabi pass all di animal for bush wey our Papa don make. E ask di woman, "Na true say God talk say make una no chop from any tree for di garden?" a a v1 Afta e don reject our Papa, di snake paint am as some God wey dey far and dey hold hand, no dey give — na di first lie wey dey hide our Papa heart from im pikin dem.
2 Di woman tell di snake, "We fit chop di fruit from di trees for di garden, 3 But God talk say, 'No chop di fruit of di tree wey dey for di middle of di garden, and no touch am, if not, una go die.'"
4 But di snake tell di woman, "Una no go die at all. 5 God sabi say di day wey una chop from am, una eye go open and una go be like God, wey sabi good and evil." b b v5 Since Genesis 3:1 di snake dey lie say God na some God wey dey far, wey no dey relate — no be di Papa wey dey close well well, wey E truly be.
6 Di woman see say di tree good for chop, e sweet for eye, and e go make person sabi wisdom. So e pluck im fruit, chop, give some to im husband wey dey with am, and e chop too. 7 Den di eye of di two of dem open, and dem sabi say dem dey naked; dem join fig leaf sew togeda make dem cover dem body.
8 Dem hear di sound of our Papa as E dey waka for di garden for di cool breeze of di day, and di man and im wife hide from im presence for inside di trees of di garden.
9 But our Papa call di man and ask am, "Wia you dey?"
10 E answer, "I hear you for di garden and fear catch me, because I dey naked, so I hide."
11 Our Papa ask, "Who tell you say you dey naked? You don chop from di tree wey I warn you make you no chop from am?"
12 Di man answer, "Na di woman wey you put with me give me fruit from di tree, and I chop."
13 Den our Papa ask di woman, "Wetin be dis wey you don do?" Di woman answer, "Na di snake deceive me, and I chop."
14 So our Papa tell di snake, "Because you don do dis thing, curse dey on you pass all di animal wey people dey rear and pass all di animal for bush; na for your belle you go dey crawl, and na dust you go dey chop all di days of your life. 15 And I go put enemy-mind between you and di woman, and between your pikin dem and her pikin dem; E go crush your head, and you go strike im heel." c c v15 From di very first promise afta di fall, our Papa point go Jesus — di pikin wey go crush di snake and rescue im pikin dem.
16 To di woman E talk, "I go increase your pain well well for time wey you wan born; na for pain you go born pikin. Your heart go dey run go your husband, and e go rule over you."
17 And to Adam E talk, "Because you listen to your wife and you chop from di tree wey I command you, wey I talk say, 'No chop from am,' curse dey on di ground because of you; na through hard suffer-work you go dey chop from am all di days of your life. 18 E go grow thorn and prickle-grass for you, and you go chop di plant of di field. 19 Na with sweat wey dey comot for your face you go chop your bread, till you go back to di ground, since na from am dem take you comot; because na dust you be, and na dust you go turn back go."
20 Di man name im wife Eve, because na she go be di mama of everybody wey dey live. d d v20 Di name Eve mean "living" — na she be di mama of everybody wey dey live.
21 Our Papa make cloth from animal skin for Adam and im wife, and E dress dem with am. e e v21 Afta dem fail, our Papa provide for im pikin dem a covering wey betta pass wetin dem make for demself — na di first picture of im heart to dress dem with wetin only E fit give.
22 Den our Papa talk, "See, di man don be like one of us, wey sabi good and evil. Now, make e no stretch im hand, take from di tree of life too, chop am, and live forever."
23 So our Papa send am comot from di garden of Eden make e go work di ground wey dem take am comot from. 24 E drive di man comot and put cherubim and one sword wey dey turn dey burn fire for di east side of di garden of Eden, to guard di road wey lead to di tree of life. f f v24 Cherubim for Scripture no be di small baby-cherub picture of Renaissance art, but powerful heaven guardian wey our Papa give assignment make dem protect di holy road wey lead back to life.
