Genesis 4
1 The man knew Eve his wife. She conceived, and gave birth to Cain, and said, “I have gotten a man with the LORD’s help.”
Nandrèndreke i Haova, vali’e t’i Dame, le nivesatse naho nisamake i Kàine vaho nanao ty hoe: Nahazoako lahilahy t’Iehovà.
2 Again she gave birth, to Cain’s brother Abel. Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.
Nisamake indraike re, le i Hèbele zai’e. Nimpihare añondry t’i Hèbele le nimpiava tane t’i Kàine.
3 As time passed, Cain brought an offering to the LORD from the fruit of the ground.
Ie te indraike, nibanabana ty lengom-boñe’ i taney am’ Iehovà t’i Kàine,
4 Abel also brought some of the firstborn of his flock and of its fat. The LORD respected Abel and his offering,
le ninday ty valohan’ ana’ o hare’eo naho ty sabora’e t’i Hèbele. Aa le nitoliha’ Iehovà t’i Hèbele naho i banabana’ey,
5 but he did not respect Cain and his offering. Cain was very angry, and the expression on his face fell.
fe tsy hinao’e t’i Kàine naho i enga’ey. Niforoforo ami’ty habose’e amy zao t’i Kàine vaho nilonjom-bintañe
6 The LORD said to Cain, “Why are you angry? Why has the expression of your face fallen?
Inoñe ty iviñera’o hoe t’Iehovà amy Kàine vaho ino ty mahalonjets’ azo?
7 If you do well, will not it be lifted up? If you do not do well, sin crouches at the door. Its desire is for you, but you are to rule over it.”
Tsy hiampokòfañe hao irehe naho toloñe’o ty hiti’e? Aa naho tsy soa ty anoe’o le mangonònoke anjili-dalañe ao ty hakeo milelalela te hahazo azo, f’ie feheo.
8 Cain said to Abel, his brother, “Let’s go into the field.” While they were in the field, Cain rose up against Abel, his brother, and killed him.
Nifanaontsy amy Hèbele rahalahi’e t’i Kàine, aa ie nimb’an-teteke mb’ eo, niambotraha’ i Kàine t’i Hèbele naho nañohofa’e loza.
9 The LORD said to Cain, “Where is Abel, your brother?” He said, “I do not know. Am I my brother’s keeper?”
Aa le hoe t’Iehovà amy Kàine, Aia t’i Hèbele rahalahi’o? Tsy fantako, hoe re, mpiambeñ’ an-drahalahiko hao iraho?
10 The LORD said, “What have you done? The voice of your brother’s blood cries to me from the ground.
Hoe re: Ino o nanoe’oo? Inao! mitoreo amako boak’ an-tane ao ty feon-dion-drahalahi’o;
11 Now you are cursed because of the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand.
le fa nafà’ i taney irehe henane zao, ie nanoka-bava handrambe an-taña’o i lion-drahalahi’oy.
12 From now on, when you till the ground, it will not yield its strength to you. You will be a fugitive and a wanderer in the earth.”
Aa ie miava tane henane zao le tsy hafoe’e ama’o ty haozara’e; ie ho mpirererere naho mpitralantralañe an-tane atoy.
13 Cain said to the LORD, “My punishment is greater than I can bear.
Hoe t’i Kàine am’ Iehovà, Tsy leoko babeñe o fandilovañe ahio;
14 Behold, you have driven me out today from the surface of the ground. I will be hidden from your face, and I will be a fugitive and a wanderer in the earth. Whoever finds me will kill me.”
anindroany irehe nanao soik’ ahy amo tarehe’ ty tane toio, naho hampietaheñe amy lahara’oy iraho, le ho mpiriorio naho mpirererere an-tane atoy, vaho songa hañoho-doza amako ze mifanojeha amako.
15 The LORD said to him, “Therefore whoever slays Cain, vengeance will be taken on him sevenfold.” The LORD appointed a sign for Cain, so that anyone finding him would not strike him.
Le hoe t’Iehovà ama’e, Aiy! ho valeñe im-pito ze mamono i Kàine; vaho namiloñe i Kàine t’i Andrianañahare tsy ho vonoe’ ze hifanalaka ama’e.
16 Cain left the LORD’s presence, and lived in the land of Nod, east of Eden.
Aa le nienga boak’ añatrefa’ Iehovà t’i Kàine, noly an-tane Rererere, atiñana’ i Edene añe.
17 Cain knew his wife. She conceived, and gave birth to Enoch. He built a city, and named the city after the name of his son, Enoch.
Nifohi’ i Kàine ty vali’e, le niareñe, nisamake i Kanòke; ie nañoren-drova vaho nitokave’e ami’ty añara’ i Kanoke ana’e.
18 Irad was born to Enoch. Irad became the father of Mehujael. Mehujael became the father of Methushael. Methushael became the father of Lamech.
Nisamake Irade t’i Kanoke; le nisamak’ i Mehojaèle t’Irade le nisamak’ i Metosaele t’i Mehojaèle vaho nisamake i Lemeke t’i Metosaele.
19 Lamech took two wives: the name of the first one was Adah, and the name of the second one was Zillah.
Nampirafe roe t’i Lemeke; le natao ty hoe Adae ty raike naho i Zilae ty raike.
20 Adah gave birth to Jabal, who was the father of those who dwell in tents and have livestock.
Nisamake Iabale t’i Adae; ie ty raem-pimoneñe an-kibohotse naho mpihare.
21 His brother’s name was Jubal, who was the father of all who handle the harp and pipe.
Natao Iobale ty rahalahi’e, ie ty rae’ o mpititike kararàke naho solio.
22 Zillah also gave birth to Tubal Cain, the forger of every cutting instrument of bronze and iron. Tubal Cain’s sister was Naamah.
Nisamake i Tobale-kaine t’i Zilae, ie ty nitsene ze hene haraotse torisìke naho viñe. I Naamae ty rahavave’ i Tobale-kaine.
23 Lamech said to his wives, “Adah and Zillah, hear my voice. You wives of Lamech, listen to my speech, for I have slain a man for wounding me, a young man for bruising me.
Hoe t’i Lemek’ amo vali’eo: Tsanoño ty feoko ry Adae naho Zilae; Ry vali’ i Lemekeo: mitsendreña o entakoo: Vinonoko t’indaty nandratse ahy, naho ty ajalahy nandafa ahiko.
24 If Cain will be avenged seven times, truly Lamech seventy-seven times.”
Aa naho i Kàine ro valeañe im-pito, Le toe impitompolo fito amby ka t’i Lemeke.
25 Adam knew his wife again. She gave birth to a son, and named him Seth, saying, “for God has given me another child instead of Abel, for Cain killed him.”
Nifohi’ i Dame indraike i vali’ey, le nisamak’ ana-dahy vaho natao’e Sete ty añara’e, fa hoe i rakembay: Fa nanendre anake ho ahy t’i Andrianañahare handimbe i Hèbele vinono’ i Kàine.
26 A son was also born to Seth, and he named him Enosh. At that time men began to call on the LORD’s name.
Nahatoly anake ka t’i Sete, le natao’e Enose ty añara’e. Nifototse amy zay te nikanjy ty tahina’ Iehovà ondatio. izay ty takelam-piantoño’ i Dame.
