4Hayo ndi one mafhungo a u sikwa ha ḽiṱaḓulu na ḽifhasi.
Vhathu vha tshi vhewa Edeni
Musi Muṋe washu Mudzimu a tshi ita ḽifhasi na ḽiṱaḓulu 5ho vha hu sa athu vha na tshiṱaka fhano fhasi, hu sa athu mela na tshimela; Muṋe washu Mudzimu o vha a sa athu nisela ḽifhasi mvula, nahone ho vha hu si na muthu a no lima mavu, 6fhasi ho tou phulea zwisima zwa maḓi, a ṋukadza mavu oṱhe. 7Muṋe washu Mudzimu a vhumba muthu nga mavu, ningoni dzawe a vhudzulela mufemo u ṋeaho vhutshilo, muthu a mbo ḓi thoma u tshila.
8Zwino Muṋe washu Mudzimu o vha o lima tsimu Edeni thungo ya vhubvaḓuvha; henefho a vhea muthu we a mu vhumba. 9Muṋe washu Mudzimu a medza miri ya tshakha dzoṱhe mavuni, miri ye ya vha i tshi takadza muthu a tshi i vhona, ine ya ḓifha. Vhukati ha tsimu a medza muri u ṋeaho vhutshilo, na muri u ṋeaho ṱhalukanyo ya zwivhuya na zwivhi.
10Edeni ho vha hu tshi ela mulambo u sheledzaho iyo tsimu, u bva henefho wa fhandekana wa bva milambo miṋa. 11Wa u thoma u pfi Phishoni; u ela u tshi mona na shango ḽoṱhe ḽa Havila, hune ha wanala musuku. 12(Musuku wa iḽo shango ndi wavhuḓi; henefho hu na zwiḓolo zwi sa sokou wanala, na matombo a mutengo muhulu.) 13Mulambo wa vhuvhili u pfi Gihoni; u ela u tshi mona na shango ḽoṱhe ḽa Kushu. 14Mulambo wa vhuraru u pfi Thigirisi; u ela u tshi tsa na shango ḽa Ashuru nga vhubvaḓuvha. Wa vhuṋa u pfi Yufuratha.
15Muṋe washu Mudzimu a dzhia muthu a mu vhea tsimuni ya Edeni uri a shume khayo, a i linde. 16Muṋe washu Mudzimu a laya muthu a ri, “U nga ḓi ḽa muri muṅwe na muṅwe afho tsimuni, 17hone muri u ṋeaho ṱhalukanyo ya zwivhuya na zwivhi u songo u ḽa; wa vhuya wa u ḽa, vhukuma u ḓo fa.”
18Muṋe washu Mudzimu a ri, “A si zwavhuḓi muthu a tshi dzula e eṱhe. Ndi ḓo mu vhumbela mufarisi o mu fanelaho.” 19Muṋe washu Mudzimu a dzhia mavu a vhumba phukha dza shango na zwiṋoni, a zwi ḓisa ha muthu u vhona uri a nga zwi vhidza hani; madzina e muthu a zwi vhidza ngao a mbo ḓi vha madzina azwo. 20Huno muthu o rina madzina a zwifuwo, na zwiṋoni, na phukha dzoṱhe dza shango, hone a si wane mufarisi o mu fanelaho.
21Ndi hone Muṋe washu Mudzimu a tshi eḓedza muthu khofhe khulu; musi a tshee o eḓela, a bvisa luvhabvu lwawe, afho fhethu a hu thivha nga ṋama. 22Ndi hone Muṋe washu Mudzimu a tshi vhumba musadzi nga luvhabvu lwe a lu bvisa kha muthu, a mu ḓisa khae.
23Muthu a tshi mu vhona a ri,
“Zwino ndi hone ndo wana a no nga nṋe;
ndi shaka ḽanga vhukuma;
u ḓo pfi ‘musadzi’,
nge a bviswa kha munna.”
24Ndi zwine munna a ḓo ṱutshela khotsi awe na mme awe, a vhofhekana na musadzi wawe, vha vha ṋama nthihi.
25Munna na musadzi, vhoṱhe vhuvhili havho, vho vha vhe fhedzi, vha sa shoni.
