3 Kapela te kakanyama* chinji kuhiana tushitu eswe a mu yambu waze Yehova Zambi atangile. Chocho yamba kuli pwo ngwenyi: “Chamwenemwene lume Zambi kamba ngwenyi, kunwatambile kulia ku mitondo yeswe ya mu munda nyi?”
2 Mba pwo yamba kuli kapela ngwenyi: “Mutuhasa kulia mihuko ya ku mitondo ya mu munda.
3 Alioze hakutwala ku muhuko wa ku mutondo uli mukachi ka munda, Zambi hanambe ngwenyi: ‘Kanda nuliako, ka, chipwe kukwatako,* kuchina munufwa.’”
4 Chocho, kapela yamba kuli pwo ngwenyi: “Pundu lume kunuchi kufwa.
5 Mumu Zambi kananyingika ngwenyi ha tangwa lizeliene munuliako, meso jenu malaula, munupwa ngwe Zambi, ni kunyingika chipema ni chipi.”
6 Muze pwo hamona ngwenyi, muhuko wa ku mutondo wacho uli upema ha kuulia, chikwo nawa, uli upema ha kuutala ni meso, ewa, wakuvwisa kuwaha ha kuumona. Chocho yahela muhuko, yaputuka kulia, mba yahana nawa muhuko wacho kuli mukwo-lunga muze te ali hamwe nenyi, neye yaputuka kulia.
7 Kashika meso jo yalaula, mba ayo yanyingika ngwo te kali uselesele. Chocho, yatonga mafwo a mukuyu, yazala.*
8 Kulutwe, ayo yevwa liji lia Yehova Zambi muze iye te anendangana mu munda, ha ola yize fuji te yinapekumuka, mba lunga ni mukwo-pwo yaswama kumeso ja Yehova Zambi hakachi ka mitondo ya mu munda.
9 Mba Yehova Zambi yasanyika lunga ha yisuho yinji ni kumuhula ngwenyi: “Kulihi uli?”
10 Mba aho, iye yakumbulula ngwenyi: “Nevwanga liji lie mu munda, alioze yingwivwa woma mumu te nguli uselesele, kashika naswamanga.”
11 Chocho Zambi yamuhula ngwenyi: “Iya wakulweza ngwenyi uselesele uli? Shina walia ku mutondo uze nakwahanga shimbi ngwami kanda uliako nyi?”
12 Lunga yamba ngwenyi: “Pwo yoze wanguhele hanga ngutwame nenyi mwe wangwahanga muhuko wa ku mutondo, kashika nalianga.”
13 Yehova Zambi yamba kuli pwo ngwenyi: “Mumu liaka walinganga chino?” Pwo yakumbulula ngwenyi: “Kapela mwe wangwonganga, kashika nalianga.”
14 Chocho Yehova Zambi yamba kuli kapela ngwenyi: “Amu hiwalinga chino, kuwashingiwa hakachi ka yimuna eswe ni tushitu eswe a mu yambu. Mwopwa ni kwendela ha jimo lie ni kulia fufuta matangwa eswe a mwono we.
15 Chikwo nawa, mungusa kole hakachi ka yena ni pwo, hakachi ka munyachi* we ni munyachi* wenyi. Yono makawonda mutwe we, ni yena mukatota* kashijino kenyi.”
16 Kuli pwo iye yamba ngwenyi: “Mungwokesa chinji yikola ye muze mukapwa kafumba. Mukapwa ni misongo yinji ha kusema ana, mukasa mbunge ye hali mukwenu-lunga, mba iye makakuyula.”
17 Mba kuli Alama* iye yamba ngwenyi: “Amu wapanjika ku liji lia mukwenu-pwo ni kulia ku mutondo uze nakukanjishile ngwami: ‘Kanda uliako,’ mavu kashingiwa mumu lia yena. Matangwa eswe a ku mwono we muhondangana chinji mba uwane kulia.
18 Hashi muhakasoka mbimbo ni mikalale, mba mukalia yuma yize yakusokaho.
19 Ku matukuta je mukawana kulia* ndo muze mukahilukila ku mavu, se kwe kuze akuchijile. Mumu uli fufuta, kashika mukahiluka nawa ku fufuta.”
20 Kulutwe lia yino, Alama yaluka mukwo-pwo ngwenyi, Eva.* Mumu iye te mapwa naye ya atu eswe waze ali ni mwono.*
21 Yehova Zambi yalingila Alama ni mukwo-pwo mazalo asuku-asuku a lambu hanga aajike.
22 Yehova Zambi yamba ngwenyi: “Mutu hapwa ngwe umwe wa kuli yetu ha kunyingika chipema ni chipi. Haliapwila mba achine kuzoza kwoko ni kuhela muhuko wa ku mutondo wa mwono aulie ni kutwama ni mwono ku miaka yeswe,*—”
23 Kashika, Yehova Zambi yamuhuma mu munda wa Endene hanga alime mavu kuze amuchijile.
24 Chocho iye yahuma mutu, mba ku chivumbuko cha munda wa Endene, yasako akerupimi ni mukwale wa kahia uze wapwile ni kujinga chakuhona kumana, hanga afunge jila ya kuya ku mutondo wa mwono.
