14 Paahi Apwiiya Nlhuku nkeerelha inwaa,

"Ukhalhawaya uhopanga chiicho,

Kihoulhava uwe waapwaha ashinama onkhaye o uhuwiya,

Unoweeta wo wiipurulha wo nthunkwa nawo,

15 Tho, Apwiiya Nlhuku nkayeerelha inwaa,

Kinoweesha umalhaponi variyari awo ni nthiyana uyo,

Iyari yo nthiyana iyo inowa uunyakatha muru awo

ni uwe unoowa wanlhuma ikotokotto."

16 Tho Nlhuku nkaamwiirelha nthiyana uyo, "Kinowuncherera uweria wo nkuri ikatema awo yo uyara, unowa waayara wo uweria chinene. Inakhalhaka chiicho, unookhalha ni nrima wo waattuna owannyao, ni ayo anoutawara."

17 Nkaamwiirelha nlhopwana,

"Ukhalhawaya uhewelhelha ahanu awo,

nkawaalhia niphepu kenre aka wiira nhilhie,

paahi etu, kiholhava ittaya

Unoopanga ntheko wo machiri wiira upatte yolhia awo

18 Ittaya inoomelha miiwa ni mahichi,

ni uwe unoolhia mikoko cho mmatani.

19 Unohalha upatta yolhia awo wo ukhuma ntukutta nao,

mpaka nihuku no uwuhelhiya muntukurukhuni ukhumme awo,

ukhalhawaya uwe ukhumme muntukurukhuni, muntukurukhuni unoohokolhia."

20 Adamu nkammaha nchina nhanu awe, nkaamwiihana Hawa, maana aya "ukumi," ukhalhawaya phi anumwanaya attu onkhaye ayariye. 21 Apwiiya Nlhuku nkayaakorosha ikuwo cho marapalha a ashinama, waatottelha Adamu ni ahanu awe, nkaawarihacha.

22 Paahi Apwiiya Nlhuku nkayeera, "Vano ntu ri thoko hii, hochuwelha vano phivi iri yoombone ni phivi ihinolhoka. Hihiyereriye ukusha niphepu no mwiri wo ukumi wiira alhie, ukhalhawaya alhiaka, noolhokelha wo uhikhwa wo mahuku o uhimalha." 23 Paahi etu Apwiiya Nlhuku nkayoomolhacha umatani Uadeni, nkanrweeha Adamu arwee alhime nttayani mwaakhumme awe. 24 Baada yo woomolhacha, Apwiiya Nlhuku aheeshacha makerubi unosha nchuwa, umatani Uadeni, yaavarenlhe uphanga wo mooro waarukunuwa uno ni uno, o ulhitelhelha iphiro yo ukelha urii mwiri wo ukumi.
