17 KuAdam wathi, Ngokuba uphulaphule izwi lomkakho, wadla kuwo umthi endakuwisela umthetho ngawo, ndathi, Uze ungadli kuwo, úqalekisiwe umhlaba ngenxa yakho; ùya kudla kuwo ubulaleka, yonke imihla yobomi bakho.
18 Úya kukuntshulela imithana enameva neenkunzane, ùdle umfuno wasendle.
19 Ùya kudla ukudla kokubila kobuso bakho, ude ubuyele emhlabeni, kuba uthatyathwe kuwo; ngokuba ùluthuli, ùya kubuyela kwaseluthulini.
20 UAdam walibiza igama lomkakhe ngokuthi nguEva,* ngokuba yena engunina wabaphilileyo bonke.
21 UYehova uThixo wabenzela iingubo zezìntsu uAdam nomkakhe, wabambathisa.
22 Wathi uYehova uThixo, Yabonani, umntu usuke waba njengomnye wethu, ukwazi okulungileyo nokubi; hleze ke olule isandla sakhe, athabathe nakuwo umthi wobomi, adle, aphile ngonaphakade:
23 uYehova uThixo wamndulula emyezweni we-Eden, ukuba asebenze umhlaba abethatyathwe kuwo.
