Genesis 4
1 Adamu anagona malo amodzi ndi Hava mkazi wake ndipo mkaziyo anakhala woyembekezera nabala Kaini, ndipo anati, “Ndi thandizo la Yehova ndapeza mwana wamwamuna.”
And Adam lay wyth Heua ys wyfe which conceaved and bare Cain and sayd: I haue goten a ma of the LORde.
2 Kenaka anabereka mʼbale wake Abele. Abele anali woweta nkhosa ndipo Kaini anali mlimi.
And she proceded forth and bare hys brother Abell: And Abell became a sheperde And Cain became a ploweman.
3 Patapita nthawi, Kaini anatenga zipatso za ku munda nakazipereka kwa Yehova monga nsembe.
And it fortuned in processe of tyme that Cain brought of the frute of the erth: an offerynge vnto the LORde.
4 Nayenso Abele anatenga ana ankhosa oyamba kubadwa pamodzi ndi mafuta ake nakazipereka ngati nsembe kwa Yehova. Yehova anakondwera ndi Abele ndi nsembe yake.
And Abell he brought also of the fyrstlynges of hys shepe and of the fatt of them. And the LORde loked vnto Abell and to his offeynge:
5 Koma sanakondwere ndi Kaini ndi nsembe yake. Kotero Kaini anakwiya kwambiri ndipo nkhope yake inagwa.
but vnto Cain and vnto his offrynge looked he not. And Cain was wroth exceadingly and loured.
6 Choncho Yehova anati kwa Kaini, “Chifukwa chiyani wakwiya ndipo bwanji nkhope yako yagwa?
And the LORde sayd vnto Cain: why art thou angry and why loureste thou? Wotest thou not yf thou dost well thou shalt receave it?
7 Ukanachita zabwino sindikanakulandira kodi? Koma tsopano wachita zoyipa ndipo tchimo likukudikira pa khomo pako, likufuna kukugwira; koma iwe uyenera kugonjetsa tchimolo.”
But and yf thou dost evell by and by thy synne lyeth open in the dore. Not withstondyng let it be subdued vnto the ad see thou rule it.
8 Tsiku lina Kaini anati kwa mʼbale wake Abele, “Tiye tipite ku munda.” Ndipo ali ku mundako, Kaini anawukira mʼbale wake namupha.
And Cain talked wyth Abell his brother. And as soone as they were in the feldes Cain fell vppon Abell his brother and slewe hym
9 Ndipo Yehova anamufunsa Kaini kuti, “Ali kuti mʼbale wako Abele?” Iye anayankha kuti, “Sindikudziwa. Kodi ine ndine wosunga mʼbale wanga?”
And ye LORde sayd vnto Cain: where is Abell thy brother? And he sayd: I can not tell am I my brothers keper?
10 Yehova anati, “Kodi wachita chiyani? Tamvera! Magazi a mʼbale wako akulirira kwa Ine kuchokera mʼnthaka.
And he sayd: What hast thou done? the voyce of thy brothers bloud cryeth vnto me out of the erth.
11 Ndipo tsopano ndiwe wotembereredwa ndipo wachotsedwa mʼdziko limene nthaka yake inatsekula pakamwa pake kulandira magazi a mʼbale wako amene unakhetsa.
And now cursed be thou as pertaynyng to the erth which opened hyr mouth to receaue thy brothers bloud of thyne hande.
12 Udzalima munda koma nthakayo sidzakupatsanso zokolola zake. Udzakhala wosakhazikika; womangoyendayenda pa dziko lapansi.”
For when thou tyllest the grounde she shall heceforth not geve hyr power vnto the. A vagabunde and a rennagate shalt thou be vpon the erth.
13 Kaini anati kwa Yehova, “Chilango changa ndi chachikulu kuposera mphamvu zanga.
And Cain sayd vnto the LORde: my synne is greater then that it may be forgeven.
14 Lero mukundipirikitsa pa dziko ndi pamaso panu; ndidzakhala wosakhazikika, woyendayenda, ndipo aliyense amene adzandipeze adzandipha.”
Beholde thou castest me out thys day from of the face of the erth and fro thy syghte must I hyde my selfe ad I must be wandrynge and a vagabunde vpon the erth: Morover whosoever fyndeth me wyll kyll me,
15 Koma Yehova anamuwuza kuti, “Sizidzatero ayi; aliyense amene adzaphe Kaini adzalangidwa ndi kulipiritsidwa kasanu ndi kawiri.” Pamenepo Yehova anayika chizindikiro pa Kaini kuti aliyense womupeza asamuphe.
And the LORde sayd vnto hi Not so but whosoever sleyth Cain shalbe punyshed. vij. folde. And ye LORde put a marke vpo Cain that no ma yt founde hym shulde kyll hym.
16 Ndipo Kaini anachoka pamaso pa Yehova nakakhala ku dziko la Nodi, kummawa kwa Edeni.
And Cain went out fro the face of the LORde and dwelt in the lande Nod on the east syde of Eden.
17 Kaini anagona malo amodzi ndi mkazi wake ndipo mkaziyo anakhala woyembekezera nabala Enoki. Kaini nthawi imeneyo nʼkuti akumanga mzinda ndipo anawutcha dzina la mwana wake Enoki.
And Cain laye wyth hys wyfe which conceaved and bare Henoch. And he was buyldinge a cyte and called the name of it after the name of hys sonne Henoch.
18 Enoki anabereka Iradi; Iradi anabereka Mehuyaeli, ndipo Mehuyaeli anabereka Metusela, ndipo Metusela anabereka Lameki.
And Henoch begat Irad. And Irad begat Mahuiael. And Mahuiael begat Mathusael. And Mathusael begat Lamech.
19 Lameki anakwatira akazi awiri, wina dzina lake linali Ada ndi winayo dzina lake linali Zila.
And Lamech toke hym two wyves: the one was called Ada and the other Zilla.
20 Ada anabereka Yabala; iyeyu anali kholo la onse okhala mʼmatenti ndi oweta ziweto.
And Ada bare Iabal of whome came they that dwell in tentes ad possesse catell.
21 Dzina la mʼbale wake linali Yubala; iyeyu anali kholo la onse oyimba zeze ndi chitoliro.
And hys brothers name was Iubal: of hym came all that excercyse them selves on the harpe and on the organs
22 Zila nayenso anali ndi mwana wamwamuna, dzina lake Tubala-Kaini. Iyeyu anali kholo la amisiri onse osula zida za mkuwa ndi chitsulo. Mlongo wake wa Tubala-Kaini anali Naama.
And Zilla she also bare Tubalcain a worker in metall and a father of all that grave in brasse and yeron. And Tubalcains syster was called Naema.
23 Lameki anawuza akazi akewo kuti, “Ada ndi Zila, ndimvereni; inu akazi anga imvani mawu anga. Ine ndinapha munthu chifukwa anandipweteka. Ndinapha mnyamatayo chifukwa anandimenya.
Then sayd Lamech vnto hys wyves Ada ad Zilla: heare my voyce ye wyves of Lamech and herken vnto my wordes for I haue slayne a man and wounded my selfe and haue slayn a yongman and gotte my selfe strypes:
24 Ngati wopha Kaini amulipsira kasanu nʼkawiri, ndiye kuti wopha ine Lameki adzamulipsira kokwanira 77.”
For Cain shall be avenged sevenfolde: but Lamech seventie tymes sevenfolde.
25 Adamu anagonanso malo amodzi ndi mkazi wake, ndipo anabereka mwana wamwamuna namutcha Seti, kutanthauza kuti, “Mulungu wandipatsa mwana wina mʼmalo mwa Abele, popeza Kaini anamupha.”
Adam also laye with hys wyfe yet agayne and she bare a sonne ad called hys name Seth For god (sayd she) hath geven me a nother sonne For Abell whom Cain slewe.
26 Seti naye anali ndi mwana wa mwamuna, ndipo anamutcha Enosi. Pa nthawi imeneyi anthu anayamba kupemphera mʼdzina la Yehova.
And Seth begat a sonne and called hys name Enos. And in that tyme began men to call on the name of the LORde.
