Semtilbu 4
1 Chujouvin Adam le Eve akitimat lhon in ahile Eve'in nao ahin vopin Cain chu ahung peng tai, hiche'a chun amanu'n hitin aseiye, Pathen phatthei bohna jal in cha pasal khat kanei tai ati.
Adam slept with his wife Eve and she became pregnant. She gave birth to Cain, and said, “With the Lord's help I have made a man.”
2 Phat chomkhat jou chun Eve chun chapa Abel ahing kit tai, hichun khonung in chapang teni chu ahung khanglen lhon tan, Abel chu kelngoi ching in ahung pang in, Cain vang chu loubol mi ahung hi tan ahi.
Later she gave birth to his brother Abel. Abel became a shepherd, while Cain was a crop farmer.
3 Phat phabep jouvin Cain in alousohga alhun phat in alousohga phabep ahin pon Pathen ading in kilhaina ahung sem tai.
Sometime later Cain brought some of the produce he'd grown as an offering to the Lord.
4 Hitobang ma chun Abel in jong akelngoi lah'a apeng masa athao pen tah khat chu Pathen ading in ahin pedoh tai, Hichun Pathen in Abel lam joh aven athilto jong kipahtah in asanpeh tai.
Abel also brought an offering: the firstborn lambs of his flock, selecting the very best parts to offer. The Lord was pleased with Abel and his offering,
5 Hinlah Pathen in Cain thilto maicham chu asanpeh tapoi, hijeh chun Cain chu hatah in alunghang in akaiku jeng in ahi.
but he wasn't pleased with Cain and his offering, which made Cain very angry and he frowned in annoyance.
6 Hihe phat chun Pathen in Cain jah a, “Ibola nangle nang kilunghan nahi ham? chule ibola namai thim jeng a ham?
The Lord said to Cain, “Why are you so angry? Why do you look so annoyed?
7 Thilpha bol dinga kilomho chu nabol le na kisan pehda ding ham? Ahin thilpha boldinga kilomho chu na bolnom loule kichih theiyin chonsetnan naval lhum ding ahitai. Hiche hohi na chinpha ding joh ahi,” ati.
If you were doing what's right, then you'd be looking happy. But if you don't do what's right, then sin will be like animal crouching outside your home, ready to pounce on you. It wants to have you, but you must be the one in control.”
8 Nikhat chu Cain in asopipa Abel jah'a “Eini thinglhang lam'a che hite atin, gamlang agei lhon phat in Cain chu asopipa Abel chunga achun athat tai.”
Later, when Cain was talking with his brother Abel they went out into the fields where Cain attacked his brother and killed him.
9 Phat chomkhat jouvin, Pakai Pathen in Cain jah a, “Nasopipa Abel hoiya um hitam?” atile Cain'in jong adonbut in, “Kahe poi, Keima hi ka sopi pa Abel ching tup ka him?” ati.
“Where is your brother Abel?” the Lord asked Cain. “How should I know?” he replied. “Am I supposed to be my brother's care-giver?”
10 Hichun Pathen in jong Cain jah'a “Ipi nabol hitam? Na sopi pa Abel thisan chu tol'a kon'in keima angsung gei in ahung peng in ahi.
“What have you done?” the Lord asked. “Your brother's blood is crying out to me from the ground.
11 Hijeh chun tua patna nangma hi leiset chunga sapset na noija uma na hitai, na sopi pa Abel thisan in na chup ahitai.
Consequently you are more cursed than the ground because you soaked it with your brother's blood.
12 Leiset a kona nangma dinga ga imacha pung ding ahi tapoi, itobang in natong jong leh chun nangman leiseta in mun neilou gamvah mangpa na kiti ding ahi.”
When you cultivate the ground, it won't produce crops for you. You'll be always on the run, wandering all over the earth.”
13 Chuphat in Cain chun Pathen henga aseiye, “Keima gotna kachan hi kei thoh jou hoi ahi poi.
“My punishment is more than I can take,” Cain replied.
14 Vetan tunin nangma akon in neidel mangtai, nang in leichunga umna neilou neihi sahtai, tua pat'a hi koihijongle eitoh khapen pen chun eitha ding ahi tai.”
“Look! You're driving me away right now—cursing the ground and banishing me from your presence. I'm going to have to hide and always be on the run, left to wander all over the earth. Anyone who finds me is going to kill me!”
15 Pathen in adonbut in, “Ahipoi koi tobang nangma hinkho sumang dinga kigo a aumle keiman ama chunga sagi vei ka phulah ding ahi.” Hichea chun Pathen in Cain chu koiman atha louna ding in Cain chunga melchihna khat akoipeh in ahi.
But the Lord replied, “No, Cain. Anyone who kills you will be punished seven times over.” The Lord placed a mark on Cain so that no one who came across him would kill him.
16 Hichea kon chun Cain in Pathen kom adalhan Eden niso lam a Nod muna chun acheng tai.
So Cain left the Lord's presence and went to live in a land called Nod, east of Eden.
17 Cain chun ajinu aki timatpin ahile nao ahin vop kit tan hiche nao chu Enoch ahi. Chuin Cain in phat phabep jouvin khopi khat ahinsem dohin, achapa min aput sah in hiche khopi min chu Enoch asah tai.
Cain slept with his wife and she became pregnant. She had a son named Enoch. At that time Cain was building a town, so he named it after his son Enoch.
18 Enoch in chapa Irad ahing in, Irad chun Mehujael ahing in, Mehujael chun Methushael ahing in, Methushael chun Lamech ahing'e.
Enoch had a son named Irad. Irad was the father of Mehujael, Mehujael was the father of Methushael, and Methushael was the father of Lamech.
19 Lamech chun ji numei ni anei jin amasa nu chu ahile Adah ahin chule anina nu chu Zillah ahiye.
Lamech married two women. The first was named Adah, and the second was named Zillah.
20 Adah in Jabal ahing in, amahi ahiye, khoilupon in a chenga gancha chingho ding'a apau chu.
Adah had a son named Jabal. He was the father of those who live in tents and have livestock.
21 Chule asopi pa min chu Jubal ahin, ama chu lathem gosem mut them masa pen ahiye.
He had a brother named Jubal; he was the father of all those who play stringed and wind instruments.
22 Zillah jong chun Tubal-cain ahing in, ama chun manchah ding abonchan sum-eng jong thih jong ahin kheng'e. Chule Tubal-cain chun sopi numei khat anei jin amin Naamah ahi.
Zillah also had a son. He was named Tubal-cain and he was a blacksmith, making different kinds of tools out of bronze and iron. Tubal-cain's sister was named Naamah.
23 Chujou vin nikhat chu Lamech chun ajite ni jaha hitin a seiye, “Vo Adah le Zillah ka aw kasei ngai lhon in, ‘Ajeh chu pasal khat in eimavo jeh in ka that'in golhang khat'in eiden jeh-in ka that tai.
At one time Lamech told his wives, “Adah and Zillah, listen to me. You wives of Lamech, pay attention to what I have to say. I killed a man because he wounded me; I killed a young man because he injured me.
24 Koi tabang mikhat in Cain chu atha le sagi vei gotna chang ding ahile keima hinkho lading koi tobang aumle som sagi vei gotna chang ding joh ahiye.”
If the sentence for killing Cain was to be punished seven times over, then if someone kills me, Lamech, the punishment should be seventy-seven times.”
25 Chuin Adam chun ajinu akitimat pikit in ahile amanun chapa khat ahing kit in, amin Seth asah tai; ijeh inem itile amanun hitin aseiye, “Pathen in chapa eipeh kit hi Abel khel a ei kipe ah ahi, ajeh chu Cain thapa khel ding in eipe tai,” ati.
Adam slept with his wife again, and she had a son and named him Seth, explaining that, “God has given me another child to replace Abel, the one Cain killed.”
26 Seth chu mipi lhing ahung hiphat in chapa khat aneiyin amin Enosh asah-e. Hiche apat chun mipi hon Pathen chu amin pan in ahou pan tauvin ahi.
Later Seth had a son named Enosh, because at that time people began to worship the Lord by name.
