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.”
Now, the man, having come to know Eve his wife, —she conceived and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a Man, even Yahweh!
2 Bangʼe nonywolo owadgi miluongi ni Abel. Abel ne en jakwadh jamni to Kain ne en japur.
And she went on to bear his brother, Abel, —and Abel became a feeder of sheep, whereas Cain, was a tiller of the round.
3 Bangʼ ndalo moko Kain nokelo nyak mag lowo kaka misango ne Jehova Nyasaye.
So it came to pass, after certain days, that Cain brought in of the fruit of the ground, a present to Yahweh:
4 To Abel nokelo ringʼo machwe koa kuom achiel mag jambe makayo. Jehova Nyasaye noyie gi Abel kod misango mare,
Abel, also, even, he, brought in of the firstlings of his sheep, and of their fat, and Yahweh approved of Abel and of his present;
5 to Kain kod misango mare to ne ok oyiego. Kuom mano Kain mirima nomako kendo wangʼe nojuol.
but of Cain and his present, he approved not, —and it angered Cain greatly, and his countenance fell.
6 Eka Jehova Nyasaye nopenjo Kain niya, “Angʼo ma omiyo in-gi mirima? Angʼo ma omiyo wangʼi ojuol?
So then Yahweh said unto Cain, —Wherefore hath it angered thee, and wherefore hath 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.”
Shall it not, if thou do right, be lifted up? But if thou do not right, at the entrance a sin-bearer is lying, —Unto thee, moreover, shall be his longing, though, thou, 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 unto Abel his brother Let us go into the field And it came to pass when they were in the field that 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?”
Then said Yahweh unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said I know not, the keeper of my brother, am, I?
10 Jehova Nyasaye nowachone niya, “Isetimo angʼoni? Winji! Remb owadu ywakna koa e lowo.
And he said, What hast thou done? With a voice, the shed-blood of thy brother is crying out to me from the ground,
11 Omiyo koro in e bwo kwongʼ kendo oseriembi e piny mosengʼamo dhoge mondo omwony remb owadu koa e lweti.
Now therefore, accursed, art thou, —from the ground which hath opened her mouth, to receive the shed-blood of thy brother at thy hand.
12 Ka ipuro lowo, to ok obi nyagoni cham. Ibiro bedo ngʼat maonge kar dak mabayo abaya e piny.”
Though thou till the ground, it shall not go on to give its vigour to thee. A wanderer and a fugitive, shalt thou be in the earth.
13 Kain nowacho ne Jehova Nyasaye niya, “Kum mi miyano ohinga.
And Cain said unto Yahweh—Greater is my punishment than I can bear.
14 Kawuono iseriemba e lowo kendo ibiro pandona wangʼi; abiro bet ngʼat maonge kar dak mabayo abaya e piny kendo ngʼato angʼata moyuda nonega.”
Lo! thou has driven me out, this day, from off the face of the ground And from thy face, shall I be hid, So shall I become a wanderer and a fugitive in the earth. And it shall come to pass, whosoever findeth me, will 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 Yahweh said to him—Not so, whosoever slayeth Cain seven—fold, shall it be avenged. So Yahweh set, for Cain, a sign, that none finding him should smite 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 Yahweh, —and dwelt in the land of Nod, eastward of Eden.
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 she conceived, and bare Enoch, —Now it happened that he was building a city, so he called the name of 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 there was born to Enoch Irad, and, Irad, begat Mehujael, —and Mehujael, begat Methusael, —and Methusael, begat 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 Adah, and, the name of the second Zillah.
20 Ada nonywolo Jabal, mane wuon jokwath mane odak e hembe kendo ne nigi jamni.
And Adah bare Jabal, —he, was father of such as dwell in tents, and have 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, was father of everyone handling lyre and flute,
22 Zila bende nonywolo wuowi ma nyinge Jubal-Kain, mane jatheth chumbe duto mag mula kod nyinyo. Nyamin Tubal-Kain nyinge ne Naama.
And, as for Zillah, she also, bare Tubal-Cain, a sharpener of every cutting instrument of bronze and iron, —and, the sister of Tubal-Cain, was Naamah.
23 Lamek nowachone monde ariyo-ka niya, “Ada kod Zila, winjauru, un monda winjuru wechena. Asenego ngʼato, nikech nogoya, wuowi matin nikech nohinya.
Then said Lamech to his wives, Adah and Zillah! hear ye my voice, Ye wives of Lamech! give ear to my tale, For a man, have I slain in dealing my wounds, Yea, a youth, in smiting my blows:
24 Ka Kain ochulne kuor nyadibiriyo to kara Lamek to nochul ne kuor nyadi piero abiriyo gabiriyo.”
If, sevenfold, be, the avenging of Cain, Then, of Lamech, seventy and 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 again knew his wife, and she bare a son, and called his name Seth, —For God hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, because Cain slew him!
26 Seth bende nonywolo wuowi, kendo nochake ni Enosh. E ndalono ema ne ji ochako luongo nying Jehova Nyasaye.
And to Seth—to him also, was born a son, and he called his name Enosh, —then, was a beginning made, to call on the name of Yahweh.
