Genesis 4
1 Adam mah a zu Evi to iih haih, anih loe zokpom moe, Kain to tapen; to naah anih mah, Angraeng khae hoi kami maeto ka hnuk boeh, tiah thuih.
And Adam knew Eve his wife: who conceived and brought forth Cain, saying: I have gotten a man through God.
2 To pacoengah anih mah amnawk Abel to sak let. Abel loe tuu toep kami ah oh, toe Kain loe lawkphrawk kami ah oh.
And again she brought forth his brother Abel. And Abel was a shepherd, and Cain a husbandman.
3 Atue phak naah, Kain mah hmuenpaekhaih maeto ah long hoi tacawt thingthai to Angraeng khaeah sinh.
And it came to pass after many days, that Cain offered, of the fruits of the earth, gifts to the Lord.
4 Abel mah doeh tapen tangsuek, kathawk tuu to sinh toeng. Abel mah paek ih hmuen to Angraeng mah talawk pae;
Abel also offered of the firstlings of his flock, and of their fat: and the Lord had respect to Abel, and to his offerings.
5 toe Kain mah paek ih hmuen loe talawk pae ai. To pongah Kain loe palungphui parai moe, mikhmai set.
But to Cain and his offerings he had no respect: and Cain was exceedingly angry, and his countenance fell.
6 To naah Angraeng mah Kain khaeah, Tipongah palung na phui loe? Tipongah mikhmai na set?
And the Lord said to him: Why art thou angry? and why is thy countenance fallen?
7 Katoeng hmuen na sak nahaeloe, nang to talawk ai ah om tih maw? Katoeng ah na sah ai pongah, zaehaih loe thok taengah tabok boeh. Anih mah loe na koehhaih to paroi tih, toe anih to na pazawk han angaih, tiah a naa.
If thou do well, shalt thou not receive? but if ill, shall not sin forthwith be present at the door? but the lust thereof shall be under thee, and thou shalt have dominion over it.
8 Kain mah amnawk Abel khaeah, Lawk ah caeh si, tiah naa. Lawk ah a oh hoi naah, Kain mah amnawk Abel to hmang moe, hum ving.
And Cain said to Abel his brother: Let us go forth abroad. And when they were in the field, Cain rose up against his brother Abel, and slew him.
9 Angraeng mah Kain khaeah, Nam nawk Abel naa ah maw oh? tiah naa. Anih mah, Ka panoek ai; kai loe kam nawk toepkung ah maw ka oh? tiah a naa.
And the Lord said to Cain: Where is thy brother Abel? And he answered, I know not: am I my brother’s keeper?
10 Angraeng mah, Timaw na sak? Nam nawk ih athii mah long hoiah Kai ang palawk.
And he said to him: What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother’s blood crieth to me from the earth.
11 Vaihi na ban hoi palong ih nam nawk ih athii to talawk hanah, pakha aang long mah tangoeng haih to na zok boeh pongah,
Now, therefore, cursed shalt thou be upon the earth, which hath opened her mouth and received the blood of thy brother at thy hand.
12 vaihi hoi kamtong long ah tok na sak naah, long mah nang hanah thingthai tacawtsak mak ai boeh; nang loe long nuiah avak rumram hoi kamhet rumram kami ah ni na om tih boeh, tiah a naa.
When thou shalt till it, it shall not yield to thee its fruit: a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be upon the earth.
13 Kain mah Angraeng khaeah, Nang thuitaekhaih loe, pauep thai ai khoek to ah lenh.
And Cain said to the Lord: My iniquity is greater than that I may deserve pardon.
14 Khenah, vai hniah long hoiah nang haek boeh pongah, na hmaa hoiah kang hawk ving han boeh; long nuiah avak rumram hoi kamhet rumram kami ah ka oh naah, kai hnu kaminawk boih mah na hum o tih, tiah a naa.
Behold thou dost cast me out this day from the face of the earth, and I shall be hidden from thy face, and I shall be a vagabond and a fugitive on the earth: every one, therefore, that findeth me, shall kill me.
15 Toe Angraeng mah anih khaeah, To pongah mikawbaktih doeh Kain hum kami loe, a nuiah alet sarihto lu lakhaih om tih, tiah a naa. Kain hnu kaminawk mah anih to hum o han ai ah, Angraeng mah Kain nuiah angmathaih to sak pae.
And the Lord said to him: No, it shall not be so: but whosoever shall kill Cain, shall be punished sevenfold. And the Lord set a mark upon Cain, that whosoever found him should not kill him.
16 To pongah Kain loe Angraeng hmaa hoi tacawt moe, Eden takha ni angyae bang ah kaom Nod prae ah khosak.
And Cain went out from the face of the Lord, and dwelt as a fugitive on the earth, at the east side of Eden.
17 Kain mah a zu to iih haih; a zu loe zokpom moe, Enok to sak; Kain mah vangpui maeto sak, a capa ih ahmin to lak moe, vangpui to Enok, tiah ahmin sak.
And Cain knew his wife, and she conceived, and brought forth Henoch: and he built a city, and called the name thereof by the name of his son Henoch.
18 Enok mah Irad to sak; Irad mah Mehujael to sak; Mahujael mah Methusael to sak; Methusael mah Lamek to sak.
And Henoch begot Irad, and Irad begot Maviael, and Maviael begot Mathusael, and Mathusael begot Lamech:
19 Lamek loe zu hnetto lak; a zu ih ahmin loe Adah; kalah zu maeto ih ahmin loe Zillah.
Who took two wives: the name of the one was Ada, and the name of the other Sella.
20 Adah mah Jabal to sak; anih loe kahni im ah om kami hoi pacah ih moinawk toepkung ampa ah oh.
And Ada brought forth Jabel: who was the father of such as dwell in tents, and of herdsmen.
21 Amnawk ih ahmin loe Jubal; anih loe katoeng, tamoi kruek kami ih ampa ah oh.
And his brother’s name was Jubal; he was the father of them that play upon the harp and the organs.
22 Zillah mah doeh capa Tubal-Kain to sak; anih loe sum kamling hoi sum kanglung daeng kami ah oh; Tubal-Kain ih tanuh loe Naamah.
Sella also brought forth Tubalcain, who was a hammerer and artificer in every work of brass and iron. And the sister of Tubalcain was Noema.
23 Lamek mah a zu, Adah hoi Zillah hnik khaeah, Lamek ih zu hnik, ka lok hae tahngai hoih; ka thuih ih lok hae tahngai hoih; kai ahmaa caasak kami, kai pacaekthlaek thendoeng maeto ka hum boeh.
And Lamech said to his wives Ada and Sella: Hear my voice, ye wives of Lamech, hearken to my speech: for I have slain a man to the wounding of myself, and a stripling to my own bruising.
24 Kain hum kami to alet sarihto lu lak han om nahaeloe, Lamek mah loe alet qui sarih, vai sarihto lu laa tih, tiah thuih pae.
Sevenfold vengeance shall be taken for Cain: but for Lamech seventy times sevenfold.
25 Adam mah a zu to iih haih let, a zu mah capa maeto sak; Kain mah hum ih Abel zuengah Sithaw mah capa maeto ang paek, tih ah a thuih pongah, a capa to Seth, tiah ahmin phui.
Adam also knew his wife again: and she brought forth a son, and called his name Seth, saying: God hath given me another seed, for Abel whom Cain slew.
26 Seth mah doeh capa maeto sak; a capa to Enos, tiah ahmin sak; to nathuem hoi kamtong kaminawk mah Angraeng ih ahmin to palawk amtong o.
But to Seth also was born a son, whom he called Enos; this man began to call upon the name of the Lord.
