< Genesis 4 >
1 Ang lalaki nidulog kang Eva nga iyang asawa. Nagmabdos siya ug nanganak kang Cain. Siya miingon, “Nakabaton ako ug anak nga lalaki sa tabang ni Yahweh.”
Adam (had sex/slept) with his wife Eve, and she became pregnant and gave birth to a son whom she named Cain, [which sounds like the word that means ‘produce’], because, she said, “By Yahweh’s help I have produced a son.” Some time later she gave birth to another son, and she named him Abel.
2 Unya nanganak siya kang Abel nga igsoong lalaki ni Cain. Karon si Abel nahimong magbalantay sa karnero, apan si Cain nag-uma sa yuta.
[After those boys grew up], Abel (tended/took care of) sheep and goats, and Cain became a farmer.
3 Miabot ang panahon nga nagdala si Cain ug pipila sa abot sa yuta ingon nga halad kang Yahweh.
One day Cain harvested some of the crops he had grown and brought them to Yahweh as a gift for him,
4 Ingon man si Abel, midala siya ug pipila sa kinamagulangan nga anak sa iyang panon ug pipila sa mga tambok. Gidawat ni Yahweh si Abel ug ang iyang halad,
and Abel took from his flock some of the first lambs that had been born [and killed them] and, as a gift, gave to Yahweh the fatty parts, [which were the best parts]. Yahweh was pleased with Abel and his offering,
5 apan wala niya gidawat si Cain ug ang iyang halad. Mao nga si Cain nasuko pag-ayo, ug siya nagmug-ot.
but he was not pleased with Cain and his offering. So Cain became very angry, and his face looked dejected.
6 Si Yahweh miingon kang Cain, “Nganong nasuko ug nganong nagmug-ot ka man?
Yahweh said to Cain, “(You should not be angry!/Why are you angry?) [RHQ] (You should not scowl like that!/Why do you scowl like that?) [RHQ]
7 Kung imong gibuhat ang husto, dili ba diay ikaw pagadawaton? Apan kung wala nimo buhata ang husto, ang sala nagahulat sa pultahan ug nagtinguha sa pagdumala kanimo, apan kinahanglan nga ikaw ang magdumala niini.”
If you had done what was right (OR, if you do what is right) [RHQ], I would accept your offering. But if you do not do what is right, [your desire to] sin [is ready to attack you like a wild animal that] [PRS] crouches outside the doorway, [ready to spring on its victim] [MET]. [Your desire to] sin wants to control you, but you must (control/not obey) it.”
8 Nakig-sulti si Cain sa iyang igsoon nga si Abel. Samtang anaa na sila didto sa kaumahan, si Cain mibarog batok kay Abel nga iyang igsoon ug gipatay siya.
But one day, Cain said to his younger brother Abel, “Let’s go for a walk in the fields.” [So they went together]. And when they were in the countryside, suddenly Cain attacked Abel and killed him.
9 Unya si Yahweh miingon kang Cain, “Asa man ang imong igsoon nga si Abel?” Siya miingon, “Wala ako masayod. Ako ba ang magbalantay sa akong igsoon?”
[Later, even though] Yahweh [knew what Cain had done], he said to Cain, “[Do you know] where Abel, your younger brother, is?” Cain replied, “No, I do not know. (My job is not to guard my younger brother!/Am I supposed to take care of my younger brother?)” [RHQ]
10 Si Yahweh miingon, “Unsa kining imong gibuhat? Ang dugo sa imong igsoon nagatawag kanako gikan sa yuta.
Yahweh said, “You have done a terrible thing [RHQ]! So now [it is as though] your younger brother’s voice is crying to me from the ground, demanding that his death must be avenged.
11 Karon tinunglo ka nga gikan sa yuta, nga miabli sa iyang baba aron sa pagdawat sa dugo sa imong igsoon gikan sa imong kamot.
You have killed your younger brother, and the ground has soaked up his blood. So now I will expel you from this land and curse your efforts to produce crops.
12 Sa dihang imong umahon ang yuta, gikan karon dili na kini maghatag sa iyang kusog alang kanimo. Magtagotago ug maglatagaw ka sa kalibotan.”
You will till the ground to plant crops, but the ground will produce very few [HYP] crops. And you will continually wander around the earth, and not have any place to live permanently.”
13 Si Cain miingon kang Yahweh, “Ang akong silot mas dako kaysa sa akong makaya.
Cain replied, “You are punishing me more then I can endure.
14 Sa pagkatinuod, imo akong ipapahawa karong adlawa niining yutaa, ug matago na ako gikan kanimo. Magtagotago ug maglatagaw ako sa kalibotan, ug si bisan kinsa ang makakita kanako mopatyon kanako.”
You are about to expel me from the ground [that I have been cultivating], and I will no longer be able to come (into your presence/and talk with you). Furthermore, I will be continually wandering around the earth with no place to live permanently, and anyone who sees me will kill me.”
15 Si Yahweh miingon kaniya, “Si bisan kinsa nga mopatay kang Cain, ang panimalos moabot kaniya sa pitoan ka pilo.” Unya gibutangan ni Yahweh ug patik si Cain, aron nga kung kinsa man ang makakaplag kaniya, kanang tawhana dili moataki kaniya.
But Yahweh said to him, “No, that will not happen. I will put a mark on you to warn anyone who sees you that [I will punish him severely if] he kills you. I will punish that person seven times as severely as I am punishing you.” Then Yahweh put a mark on Cain’s forehead.
16 Busa mibiya si Cain sa presensiya ni Yahweh ug mipuyo sa yuta sa Nod, sa sidlakang bahin sa Eden.
So Cain left Yahweh and went to live in the land called Nod, [which means ‘wandering’], which was east of Eden.
17 Nakigdulog si Cain sa iyang asawa ug nagmabdos siya. Nanganak siya kang Enoc. Nagtukod siya ug siyudad ug ginganlan niya kini sunod sa ngalan sa iyang anak nga si Enoc.
Some time later, Cain (had sex/slept) with his wife, and she [became pregnant and] gave birth to a son, whom she named Enoch. Then Cain started to build a city, and he named the city ‘Enoch’, the same name that his son had.
18 Ngadto kang Enoc natawo si Irad. Si Irad nahimong amahan ni Mehujael. Si Mehujael nahimong amahan ni Methushael. Si Methushael nahimong amahan ni Lamec.
Enoch [grew up and married and] became the father of a son whom he named Irad. When Irad [grew up he] became the father of a son whom he named Mehujael. Mehujael [grew up and] became the father of a son whom he named Methuselah. Methuselah [grew up and] became the father of Lamech.
19 Si Lamec nagkuha ug duha ka mga asawa alang sa iyang kaugalingon: ang ngalan sa usa mao si Ada, ug ang ngalan sa lain pa mao si Zila.
When Lamech [grew up he] married two women. The name of one was Adah and the other was Zillah.
20 Si Ada nanganak kang Jabal. Siya ang amahan niadtong nagpuyo sa tolda nga adunay mga kahayopan.
Adah gave birth to [a son she named] Jabal.
21 Ang ngalan sa iyang igsoon nga lalaki mao si Jubal. Siya ang amahan niadtong nagatugtog ug alpa ug plawta.
Later, Jabal was the first person who lived in tents because he traveled from place to place to take care of livestock. His younger brother’s name was Jubal. He was the first person who made/played a (lyre/stringed instrument) and a flute.
22 Ug si Zila nanganak kang Tubal Cain, ang nagahimo ug mga gamit nga gikan sa bronse ug puthaw. Ang igsoon nga babaye ni Tubal Cain mao si Naama.
[Lamech’s other wife] Zillah gave birth to a son whom she named Tubal-Cain. Later Tubal-Cain became a (blacksmith/one who made tools from bronze and iron). Tubal-Cain had a younger sister whose name was Naamah.
23 Si Lamec miingon sa iyang mga asawa, “Ada ug Zila, paminawa ang akong tingog; kamo nga mga asawa ni Lamec, paminawa kung unsa ang akong isulti. Tungod kay nakapatay ako ug batan-on nga lalaki nga nagsamad kanako, usa ka batan-on nga lalaki nga nagbun-og kanako.
One day Lamech said to his two wives, “Adah and Zillah, listen carefully to what I am saying. A young man struck me and wounded me, so I killed him.
24 Kung adunay pito ka pilo nga balos alang kang Cain, unya adunay 77 ka pilo nga balos alang kang Lamec.”
Yahweh said long ago that he would avenge and punish anyone who killed Cain seven times as much as he punished Cain [for killing his younger brother]. So if anyone [tries to] kill me, I will punish him 77 times as much [as Yahweh punished Cain].”
25 Nakigdulog na usab si Adan sa iyang asawa, ug nanganak siya ug laing anak nga lalaki. Iya kining ginganlan ug Set ug miingon, “Ang Dios naghatag kanako ug laing anak nga lalaki nga puli kang Abel, kay gipatay man siya ni Cain.”
Adam continued to (have sex/sleep) with [EUP] his wife, and she [became pregnant and] gave birth to another son, whom she named Seth, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘given’], because, she said, “God has given me another child to take the place of Abel, since Cain killed him.”
26 Adunay anak nga lalaki nga natawo gikan kang Set ug iya siyang gitawag sa ngalan nga Enos. Nianang panahona ang mga tawo nagsugod na sa pagtawag sa ngalan ni Yahweh.
When Seth grew up, he became the father of a son whom he named Enosh. About that time people began to worship Yahweh [again].
