Kamtawngnae 4
1 Adam ni a yu Evi a panue teh, camo a vawn. Capa a khe teh, BAWIPA ni na kabawp dawk ca tongpa ka khe ati teh, Kain telah min a phung.
And Adam knew Eve his wife, and she conceived and brought forth Cain and said, I have gained a man through God.
2 Hahoi, a nawngha Abel bout a khe. Abel teh tu kakhoumkung lah ao teh, Kain teh law kasakkung lah ao.
And she again bore his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.
3 Atueng akuep torei teh, Kain ni amae law thung e a pawhiknaw hah BAWIPA koe a sin.
And it was so after some time that Cain brought of the fruits of the earth a sacrifice to the Lord.
4 Abel ni hai tu pasuek ka khe e hoi, kathâwnaw a sin. Hatdawkvah, BAWIPA ni Abel hoi a sin e hno teh a dâw pouh.
And Abel also brought of the firstborn of his sheep and of his fatlings, and God looked upon Abel and his gifts,
5 Hatei Kain hoi a sin e hno teh dâw pouh hoeh. Hatdawkvah, Kain teh a lung puenghoi a khuek dawkvah minhmai a mathoe.
but Cain and his sacrifices he regarded not, and Cain was exceedingly sorrowful and his countenance fell.
6 BAWIPA ni Kain koevah, Bangkongmaw na lungkhuek teh minhmai a mathoe.
And the Lord God said to Cain, Why art thou become very sorrowful and why is thy countenance fallen?
7 Kahawicalah na sak pawiteh ka dâw mahoeh maw. Kahawicalah na sak hoehpawiteh yon thuengnae sathei teh longkha koe a tabo. Ahnie a ngainae teh nange doeh. Hatei nang ni ahni na uk telah atipouh.
Hast thou not sinned if thou hast brought it rightly, but not rightly divided it? be still, to thee shall be his submission, and thou shalt rule over him.
8 Kain ni a nawngha Abel koevah law lah cet sei atipouh. Law a pha roi torei teh Kain ni a nawngha a taran teh a thei.
And Cain said to Abel his brother, Let us go out into the plain; and it came to pass that when they were in the plain Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.
9 Hatdawkvah, BAWIPA ni Kain koe, na maw na nawngha Abel te, telah a pacei navah, ahni ni ka panuek hoeh, ka nawngha ka khoum e nahoeh telah atipouh.
And the Lord God said to Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? and he said, I know not, am I my brother's keeper?
10 Hahoi, BAWIPA ni bangmaw na sak na nawngha e thi ni talai dawk hoi kai koe a hram toe.
And the Lord said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood cries to me out of the ground.
11 Na kut hoi na palawng e na nawngha thi, dâw hanelah apâhni ka ang e talai dawk hoi nang teh atu thoebo lah na o toe.
And now thou [art] cursed from the earth which has opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand.
12 Talai dawk thaw na tawk navah a thaonae nang koe tâcawt mahoeh toe. Nang teh talai vah, ka yawng e tami hoi ka kâva a e tami lah na o han telah atipouh.
When thou tillest the earth, then it shall not continue to give its strength to thee: thou shalt be groaning and trembling on the earth.
13 Kain ni BAWIPA koevah, reknae ka hmu e heh ka phu thai e hlak a lenhnawn.
And Cain said to the Lord God, My crime [is] too great for me to be forgiven.
14 Sahnin teh talai hoi na pâlei toe ti ka panue. Na hmaitung hoi hro lah ka o toe. Talai van vah ka yawng e hoi yuengyoe kâva e tami lah kaawm vaiteh, ka hmawt e pueng ni na thei han doeh telah atipouh.
If thou castest me out this day from the face of the earth, and I shall be hidden from thy presence, and I shall be groaning and trembling upon the earth, then it will be that any one that finds me shall slay me.
15 Hatei, BAWIPA ni Kain koe nang ka thet e pueng teh let sari touh hoi a moi ka pathung han atipouh. Hahoi, BAWIPA ni Kain ka hmawt e tami, buet touh ni hai a thei hoeh nahanlah ahni dawk noutnae a ta pouh.
And the Lord God said to him, Not so, any one that slays Cain shall suffer seven-fold vengeance; and the Lord God set a mark upon Cain that no one that found him might slay him.
16 Hathnukkhu, Kain teh BAWIPA e hmaitung hoi a tâco teh, Eden kanîtholah, Nod ram dawk kho a sak.
So Cain went forth from the presence of God and dwelt in the land of Nod over against Edem.
17 Kain ni a yu a panue teh, camo a vawn teh Enok a khe. Kho a thawng teh a capa min lah Enok kho telah min a poe.
And Cain knew his wife, and having conceived she bore Enoch; and he built a city; and he named the city after the name of his son, Enoch.
18 Hahoi Enok ni Irad a khe. Irad ni Mehujael a khe. Mehujael ni Methushael a khe. Methushael ni Lamek a khe.
And to Enoch was born Gaidad; and Gaidad begot Maleleel; and Maleleel begot Mathusala; and Mathusala begot Lamech.
19 Hathnukkhu, Lamek ni a yu kahni touh a la teh, apasueke min teh Adah, apâhni e min teh Zillah doeh.
And Lamech took to himself two wives; the name of the one was Ada, and the name of the second Sella.
20 Adah ni Jabal a khe. Ahni teh rimnaw dawk kho ka sak e lah ao teh saringnaw kapacakung e na pa lah ao.
And Ada bore Jobel; he was the father of those that dwell in tents, feeding cattle.
21 A nawngha e min teh Jubal. Ahni teh ratoung hoi vovitnaw ka pâtu e na pa lah ao.
And the name of his brother was Jubal; he it was who invented the psaltery and harp.
22 Zillah ni hai Tubal-kain a khe. Ahni teh rahum hoi sum ka dei pueng e na pa lah ao. Naamah teh Tubal-kain e tawncanu lah ao.
And Sella also bore Thobel; he was a smith, a manufacturer both of brass and iron; and the sister of Thobel was Noëma.
23 Hahoi, Lamek ni a yu roi Adah hoi Zillah koevah, ka lawk thai roi haw, patawnae na poe dawkvah tongpa buet touh ka thei. Na pacekpahlek dawkvah, thoundoun buet touh ka thei toe.
And Lamech said to his wives, Ada and Sella, Hear my voice, ye wives of Lamech, consider my words, because I have slain a man to my sorrow and a youth to my grief.
24 Kain ni let sari touh e moipathungnae khang pawiteh, Lamek ni teh a let 70 touh hoi a khang han.
Because vengeance has been exacted seven times on Cain's behalf, on Lamech's [it shall be] seventy times seven.
25 Hahoi, Adam ni a yu bout a panue teh, ca tongpa a khe. Seth telah min a phung. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Kain ni Abel a thei dawkvah Cathut ni alouke cati bout na poe telah ati.
And Adam knew Eve his wife, and she conceived and bore a son, and called his name Seth, saying, For God has raised up to me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew.
26 Seth ni hai capa a khe teh Enosh telah min a phung. Hahoi tami ni Jehovah min kaw han a kamtawng awh.
And Seth had a son, and he called his name Enos: he hoped to call on the name of the Lord God.
