3, 4. (a) Wanem komand nao God talem long Adam and Eve? (b) Why nao hem barava important for tufala obeyim datfala komand?

³ Nomata Jehovah wakem Adam and Eve for laef olowe, tufala mas duim samting for gohed stap laef. Tufala mas brith, drink, sleep, and kaikai. And samting wea barava important, tufala mas gohed fren gud witim Jehovah for gohed laef. (Deut. 8:3) Sapos tufala obeyim Jehovah, tufala bae gohed laef and hapi. Taem Jehovah no wakem Eve yet, hem talem disfala komand long Adam: “Iu savve kaikaim frut bilong evri tree long garden. Bat iu mas no kaikaim frut from datfala tree wea piksarem wei for savve long gud and nogud samting, bikos long day wea iu kaikaim datwan bae iu dae.”—Gen. 2:16, 17.

⁴ “Datfala tree wea piksarem wei for savve long gud and nogud samting” showimaot God nao garem raet for talem wanem hem stret and wanem hem no stret. From God wakem Adam for garem olketa wei olsem hem, and hem garem konsens, Adam fit for minim wanem hem stret and wanem hem no stret. Datfala tree hem mekem Adam and Eve luksavve tufala bae evritaem needim Jehovah for leadim tufala. Sapos tufala kaikaim frut bilong datfala tree, hem olsem tufala sei long God: “Mifala no needim iu for rulim mifala.” Samting wea bae kamaot from datwan nao, tufala and olketa pikinini bilong tufala bae dae olsem God hem talem finis.

⁷ Adam savve long wanem God sei bae happen sapos hem kaikaim frut bilong datfala tree. God sei long hem: “Long day wea iu kaikaim datwan bae iu dae.” Maet Adam tingse diswan minim tufala bae dae bifor sun go daon long sem day wea tufala sin. Bat long aftanun bilong datfala sem day, Jehovah story long Adam and Eve. (Gen. 3:8) From Jehovah evritaem judge long stretfala wei, hem herem firstaem wanem Adam and Eve talem. (Gen. 3:9-13) Then hem givim judgment and sei tufala mas dae. (Gen. 3:14-19) Sapos hem killim dae tufala long semtaem wea tufala no obey, plan bilong hem for olketa man bae no kamap tru. (Isa. 55:11) So nomata Adam and Eve stretawe kasem nogud samting from sin wea tufala duim, Jehovah letem tufala for gohed laef mekem tufala garem pikinini wea savve kasem gud samting long future. Bat long tingting bilong God, hem olsem Adam and Eve dae finis long sem day wea tufala sin, and wea hem judgem tufala for dae. And tu, from 1,000 year hem olsem wanfala day nomoa long Jehovah, hem fitim for sei tufala dae long sem “day” wea tufala sin bikos tufala dae bifor 1,000 year hem finis.—2 Pet. 3:8.
