Ukungalaleli kwabantu uZimu
1Inyoka gade inobuqili ukudlula ezinye iinlwana zommango uZimu azenzileko. Yabuza umfazi yathi: “Kuliqiniso bona uZimu unalele ukudla kinanyana ngimuphi umuthi osesivandeni na?”
2Umfazi waphendula wathi: “Awa, singadla isithelo sananyana ngimuphi umuthi esivandeni, 3kodwana uZimu uthe, ‘Ningadli isithelo somuthi ophakathi nesivande begodu ningawuthinti ukuze ningafi.’ ”
4Inyoka yathi: “Awa, anikazukufa! 5Kuhlekuhle uZimu uyazi bonyana mhlana nisidlako, amehlwenu azokuvuleka, nibe nokwazi koke njengoZimu.”
6Umfazi waqala umuthi, wabona iinthelo ezihle neziyengako. Phezu kwalokho beziganukeja ngombana ziyahlakaniphisa. Yeke wakha iinthelo kiwo wadla, wanikela nendodakhe egade inaye, nayo yadla. 7Ngalokho bobabili amehlwabo avuleka, bazibona bakhamba hlubule. Nje-ke bazithungela iimvunulo ngamakari wamakhiwani.
8Ekupholeni kwelanga bezwa uSomnini uZimu akhamba esivandeni, yeke umuntu nomkakhe babhaqela uZimu hlangana nemithi yesivande. 9USomnini uZimu wabiza umuntu wathi: “Kanti ukuphi na?”
10Yena waphendula wathi: “Ngikuzwe ukhamba esivandeni, ngesaba ngombana ngihlubule; nje-ke ngizifihlile.”
11UZimu wathi kuye: “Ngubani okutjele bonyana uhlubule? Kghani udle emthini engakuyala ngawo bona ungawudli?”
12Umuntu wathi: “Awa, umfazi owangipha yena bona abe nami, nguye ongiphe isithelo somuthi, yeke nami ngadla.”
13Nje-ke uSomnini wathi emfazini: “Yintobani oyenzileko le?”
Umfazi waphendula wathi: “Yinyoka engirhwalileko, yeke ngadla.”
14USomnini uZimu wathi enyokeni:
“Ngebanga lokobana wenze lokhu,
wena unikelelwe:
yoke ifuyo yekhaya izokubaleka
neenlwana zoke zommango zikunine.
Uzakurhurhuba ngesisu,
udle ithuli lehlabathi
imihla yoke yepilwakho.
15Ngizakubeka ubutha
phakathi kwakho nomfazi,
naphakathi kweenzukulwana zakho neenzukulwana zakhe;
zona zizakutshidlha ihlokwakho
wena ulume isithende sazo.”
16Emfazini uZimu wathi:
“Ngizokwandisela ubuhlungu ekuzithwaleni kwakho,
ubelethe ngobudisi obukhulu.
Uzakutjhisakalela indodakho,
kodwana yona izakukubusa.”
17Endodeni uZimu wathi:
“Njengombana ulalele umfazi
wabe wadla emthini engakwalela
bonyana udle kiwo;
ihlabathi seyinikelelwe ngebanga lakho:
Imihla yoke yepilwakho
uzakusebenza nzima ukufumana ukudla kwakho kiyo,
18kodwana izakuvezela ameva nabosotokolo
bewudle iimila zommango.
19Ukudla kwakho uzakujulukela
bewubuyele ehlabathini.
Iye, wathathwa kiyo
begodu njengombana ulithuli nje,
uzakubuyela ethulini.”
20Indoda yathiya umkayo bona ngu-Eva ngombana gade azokuba ngunina wabo boke abaphilako.
21USomnini uZimu wenza iimvunulo zesikhumba, nje-ke wembathisa indoda nomkayo.
22USomnini uZimu wathi: “Kazi umuntu sele anokwazi koke. Ngaleyondlela sese afana nathi. Yeke akukafaneli avunyelwe bona elule isandla sakhe adle emthini wokuphila ukuze aphile isiphelani.”
23Nje-ke uSomnini uZimu wamqotjha umuntu esivandeni se-Edeni ukuze alime ihlabathi athethwe kiyo. 24Kuthe sele amqotjhile umuntu, wabeka amakerubhi ngepumalanga esangweni lesivande. Amakerubhi lawo gade anesabula yomlilo ebenyezelako, alinde indlela eya emthini wokuphila.
