15 Jehovha Mwari akatora munhu, akamuita kuti agare mumunda weEdheni kuti aurime nekuuchengeta.+ 16 Jehovha Mwari akapawo munhu murayiro uyu: “Unogona hako kudya michero yemiti yese yemumunda kusvikira waguta.+ 17 Asi haufaniri kudya muchero wemuti wekuziva zvakanaka nezvakaipa, nekuti zuva raunoudya chokwadi uchafa.”+
18 Jehovha Mwari akabva ati: “Hazvina kunaka kuti munhu arambe ari ega. Ndichamuitira mubatsiri, anonyatsoenderana naye.”+ 19 Uye Jehovha Mwari akanga aumba nevhu mhuka dzese dzemusango nezvisikwa zvese zvinobhururuka zvekudenga, uye akatanga kuzviunza kumunhu kuti aone kuti aizotumidza chimwe nechimwe kuti chii; chero zita raipiwa chisikwa chipenyu chimwe nechimwe nemunhu, ndiro rakava zita racho.*+ 20 Saka munhu akapa mazita kuzvipfuwo zvese nezvisikwa zvinobhururuka zvekudenga nemhuka dzese dzesango, asi munhu akanga asina mubatsiri wake anonyatsoenderana naye. 21 Saka Jehovha Mwari akaita kuti munhu abatwe nehope huru, uye paakanga akarara, akatora mbabvu yake imwe chete akabva aita kuti nyama ivhare panzvimbo payo. 22 Jehovha Mwari akaumba mukadzi nembabvu yaakanga atora pamurume, akamuunza kumurume.+
23 Murume akabva ati:
“Iri ndiro rava pfupa remapfupa angu
Nenyama yenyama yangu.
Uyu achanzi Mukadzi,
Nekuti akatorwa pamurume.”+
24 Ndokusaka murume achasiya baba vake naamai vake uye achanamatira kumudzimai wake,* uye vachava nyama imwe.+ 25 Vese vari vaviri vakanga vasina kupfeka,+ murume nemudzimai wake; asi vakanga vasinganyare.
