14 Ndipho Mwenyezi Mlungu achiiambira nyoka, “Kpwa kukala ukahenda hivyo,
ukalaniwa kuriko nyama osi a kufuga,
na kutsupa nyama osi a tsakani.
Undaambala na ndani,
na undarya vumbi maishago gosi.
15 +Nindakuhenda uwe na hiye mchetu mkale maadui,
na uvyazio na uvyaziwe undakala maadui vivyo.
Uvyaziwe undakufyanda chitswa,
nawe undaondza jimbe.”

“Kpwa vira ukagbwira maneno ga mcheo,
na ukarya tunda ra muhi ambao nákukahaza
usirye matundage, vivi tsi ikalaniwa kpwa sababuyo.
Kpwa jasho undarya mavunoge maishago gosi.
18 Tsi indamera miya na kpwekpwe, na uwe undarya mimea ya mundani.
19 Undarya jashoro,
hadi ndiphofwa na kukala mitsanga tsona,
kpwa mana wala mtsangani.
Uwe waumbwa na mitsanga na mtsangani undauya.”
20 Hiye mlume dzinare kala ndiye Adamu; naye wamuiha mchewe Hawa, mana iye ndiye ninengbwa wa anadamu osi.
21 Chisha Mwenyezi Mlungu achimtengezera Adamu na mchewe nguwo za chingo na achiavwika.

Husimriche akahunda matunda ga muhi wa uzima akarya, na akakala moyo hata kare na kare.” 23 Kpwa hivyo, Mwenyezi Mlungu achimzola Adamu asikale mura munda wa Edeni, kpwa akarime tsi iyo ariyoumbirwa. 24 Ariphoazola, Mwenyezi Mlungu waika makerubi ko mlairo wa dzuwa wa Edeni.
