Chakruok 4
1 Adam nobedo e achiel gi chiege Hawa kendo nomako ich mi nonywolo Kain mowacho niya, “Kuom ngʼwono mar Jehova Nyasaye asenywolo wuowi.”
And Adam knew Eve his wife, and she conceived and brought forth Cain and said, I have gained a man through God.
2 Bangʼe nonywolo owadgi miluongi ni Abel. Abel ne en jakwadh jamni to Kain ne en japur.
And she again bore his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.
3 Bangʼ ndalo moko Kain nokelo nyak mag lowo kaka misango ne Jehova Nyasaye.
And it was so after some time that Cain brought of the fruits of the earth a sacrifice to the Lord.
4 To Abel nokelo ringʼo machwe koa kuom achiel mag jambe makayo. Jehova Nyasaye noyie gi Abel kod misango mare,
And Abel also brought of the firstborn of his sheep and of his fatlings, and God looked upon Abel and his gifts,
5 to Kain kod misango mare to ne ok oyiego. Kuom mano Kain mirima nomako kendo wangʼe nojuol.
but Cain and his sacrifices he regarded not, and Cain was exceedingly sorrowful and his countenance fell.
6 Eka Jehova Nyasaye nopenjo Kain niya, “Angʼo ma omiyo in-gi mirima? Angʼo ma omiyo wangʼi ojuol?
And the Lord God said to Cain, Why art thou become very sorrowful and why is thy countenance fallen?
7 Kitimo maber donge diyieni? To ka itimo marach to richo okichore e dhoodi, kendo ogomboni mondo okawi, to in nyaka iloye.”
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 Eka Kain nowacho ne owadgi Abel niya, “Wadhi waba e pap oko.” To kane gin e pap, Kain nogoyo owadgi ma Abel mi onege.
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 Eka Jehova Nyasaye nopenjo Kain niya, “Ere owadu Abel?” Nodwoke niya, “Ok angʼeyo. An jakwadhe?”
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 Jehova Nyasaye nowachone niya, “Isetimo angʼoni? Winji! Remb owadu ywakna koa e lowo.
And the Lord said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood cries to me out of the ground.
11 Omiyo koro in e bwo kwongʼ kendo oseriembi e piny mosengʼamo dhoge mondo omwony remb owadu koa e lweti.
And now thou [art] cursed from the earth which has opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand.
12 Ka ipuro lowo, to ok obi nyagoni cham. Ibiro bedo ngʼat maonge kar dak mabayo abaya e piny.”
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 nowacho ne Jehova Nyasaye niya, “Kum mi miyano ohinga.
And Cain said to the Lord God, My crime [is] too great for me to be forgiven.
14 Kawuono iseriemba e lowo kendo ibiro pandona wangʼi; abiro bet ngʼat maonge kar dak mabayo abaya e piny kendo ngʼato angʼata moyuda nonega.”
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 To Jehova Nyasaye nowachone niya, “Ok kamano, ka ngʼato onegi, nochul ne kuor nyadibiriyo moloyo.” Eka Jehova Nyasaye noketo ranyisi kuom Kain mondo ngʼato moromo kode kik nege.
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 Omiyo Kain noa e nyim Jehova Nyasaye kendo nodak e piny Nod, mantie yo wuok chiengʼ mar Eden.
So Cain went forth from the presence of God and dwelt in the land of Nod over against Edem.
17 Kain nobedoe achiel gi chiege mi chiege nomako ich kendo nonywolo Enok. Noyudo Kain gero dala maduongʼ kendo nochako dalano nying wuode ma Enok.
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 Enok nonywolo Irad: Kendo Irad ema ne wuon Mehujael, kendo Mehujael nonywolo Methushael kendo Methushael nonywolo Lamek.
And to Enoch was born Gaidad; and Gaidad begot Maleleel; and Maleleel begot Mathusala; and Mathusala begot Lamech.
19 Lamek nokendo mon ariyo, achiel ne nyinge Ada to machielo Zila.
And Lamech took to himself two wives; the name of the one was Ada, and the name of the second Sella.
20 Ada nonywolo Jabal, mane wuon jokwath mane odak e hembe kendo ne nigi jamni.
And Ada bore Jobel; he was the father of those that dwell in tents, feeding cattle.
21 Owadgi ne nyinge Jubal, ma en ema nokwongo chako goyo thumbe mag nyatiti gi asili.
And the name of his brother was Jubal; he it was who invented the psaltery and harp.
22 Zila bende nonywolo wuowi ma nyinge Jubal-Kain, mane jatheth chumbe duto mag mula kod nyinyo. Nyamin Tubal-Kain nyinge ne Naama.
And Sella also bore Thobel; he was a smith, a manufacturer both of brass and iron; and the sister of Thobel was Noëma.
23 Lamek nowachone monde ariyo-ka niya, “Ada kod Zila, winjauru, un monda winjuru wechena. Asenego ngʼato, nikech nogoya, wuowi matin nikech nohinya.
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 Ka Kain ochulne kuor nyadibiriyo to kara Lamek to nochul ne kuor nyadi piero abiriyo gabiriyo.”
Because vengeance has been exacted seven times on Cain's behalf, on Lamech's [it shall be] seventy times seven.
25 Adam nobedoe achiel gi chiege, kendo chiege nonywolo wuowi mi nochake ni Seth, mowacho niya, “Nyasaye osemiya nyathi machielo kar Abel mane Kain onego.”
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 bende nonywolo wuowi, kendo nochake ni Enosh. E ndalono ema ne ji ochako luongo nying Jehova Nyasaye.
And Seth had a son, and he called his name Enos: he hoped to call on the name of the Lord God.
