Genesis 4
1 And Adam had relations with his wife Eve, and she conceived and gave birth to Cain. “With the help of the LORD I have brought forth a man,” she said.
Adamu asangisaki nzoto na mwasi na ye Eva; mpe Eva akomaki na zemi, bongo abotaki Kayina. Alobaki: « Nasali moto na lisungi ya Yawe. »
2 Later she gave birth to Cain’s brother Abel. Now Abel was a keeper of sheep, while Cain was a tiller of the soil.
Sima na yango, abotaki lisusu Abele, ndeko ya Kayina. Abele akomaki kobokola bibwele mpe Kayina akomaki kosala bilanga.
3 So in the course of time, Cain brought some of the fruit of the soil as an offering to the LORD,
Sima na mwa tango, Kayina amemaki mbuma ya mabele mpo na kobonzela Yawe.
4 while Abel brought the best portions of the firstborn of his flock. And the LORD looked with favor on Abel and his offering,
Abele, ye mpe amemaki bibwele oyo ebotamaki liboso kati na etonga na ye mpe biteni oyo eleki mafuta. Yawe asepelaki na Abele mpe na makabo na ye,
5 but He had no regard for Cain and his offering. So Cain became very angry, and his countenance fell.
kasi asepelaki te na Kayina mpe na makabo na ye. Bongo, Kayina asilikaki makasi mpe elongi na ye ekomaki mawa-mawa.
6 “Why are you angry,” said the LORD to Cain, “and why has your countenance fallen?
Yawe alobaki na Kayina: — Mpo na nini osiliki? Mpo na nini elongi na yo ekomi mawa-mawa?
7 If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you refuse to do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires you, but you must master it.”
Boni, soki osali malamu, bakondima yo te? Kasi soki osali malamu te, lisumu elali penza na ekuke na yo, mpe posa na yango ezali kobenda yo makasi; kasi yo, longa yango.
8 Then Cain said to his brother Abel, “Let us go out to the field.” And while they were in the field, Cain rose up against his brother Abel and killed him.
Kayina alobaki na Abele, ndeko na ye. Wana bazalaki kati na bilanga, Kayina akangaki Abele, ndeko na ye, mpe abomaki ye.
9 And the LORD said to Cain, “Where is your brother Abel?” “I do not know!” he answered. “Am I my brother’s keeper?”
Yawe atunaki Kayina: — Wapi ndeko na yo Abele? Kayina azongisaki: — Nayebi te. Boni, ngai nazali mokengeli ya ndeko na ngai?
10 “What have you done?” replied the LORD. “The voice of your brother’s blood cries out to Me from the ground.
Nzambe alobaki: — Osali nini? Likambo nini penza osali? Makila ya ndeko na yo ezali koganga wuta na mabele kino epai na Ngai.
11 Now you are cursed and banished from the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand.
Sik’oyo, olakelami mabe mpe obwakami mosika ya mabele oyo efungolaki monoko na yango mpo na komela makila ya ndeko na yo, oyo maboko na yo esopaki.
12 When you till the ground, it will no longer yield its produce to you. You will be a fugitive and a wanderer on the earth.”
Tango okobalola mabele, ekobotela yo mbuma te. Okozala koyengayenga mpe kotelengana na mokili.
13 But Cain said to the LORD, “My punishment is greater than I can bear.
Kayina alobaki na Yawe: — Etumbu na ngai eleki pasi mpo na komema!
14 Behold, this day You have driven me from the face of the earth, and from Your face I will be hidden; I will be a fugitive and a wanderer on the earth, and whoever finds me will kill me.”
Tala, obwaki ngai lelo mosika ya mabele; nasengeli sik’oyo kobombama liboso na Yo, nakokoma koyengayenga mpe kotelengana na mokili, mpe moto nyonso oyo akomona ngai akoboma ngai.
15 “Not so!” replied the LORD. “If anyone slays Cain, then Cain will be avenged sevenfold.” And the LORD placed a mark on Cain, so that no one who found him would kill him.
Kasi Yawe alobaki na ye: — Ezali bongo te! Soki moto abomi Kayina, bakozongisa mabe mpo na Kayina mbala sambo. Mpe Yawe atiaki elembo na nzoto ya Kayina na tina ete moto oyo akokutana na ye aboma ye te.
16 So Cain went out from the presence of the LORD and settled in the land of Nod, east of Eden.
Kayina alongwaki liboso ya Yawe, akendeki kovanda na mokili ya Nodi, na este ya Edeni.
17 And Cain had relations with his wife, and she conceived and gave birth to Enoch. Then Cain built a city and named it after his son Enoch.
Kayina asangisaki nzoto na mwasi na ye; mpe mwasi na ye akomaki na zemi, bongo abotaki Enoki. Kayina atongaki engumba. Apesaki yango kombo « Enoki, » kombo ya mwana na ye ya mobali.
18 Now to Enoch was born Irad, and Irad was the father of Mehujael, and Mehujael was the father of Methusael, and Methusael was the father of Lamech.
Enoki abotaki Iradi; Iradi abotaki Mewuyayeli; Mewuyayeli abotaki Metusaeli; Metusaeli abotaki Lemeki.
19 And Lamech married two women, one named Adah and the other Zillah.
Lemeki abalaki basi mibale: moko, kombo na ye ezalaki « Ada, » mpe mosusu, « Tsila. »
20 Adah gave birth to Jabal; he was the father of those who dwell in tents and raise livestock.
Ada abotaki Yabali, koko ya bavandi ya bandako ya kapo mpe ya babokoli bibwele.
21 And his brother’s name was Jubal; he was the father of all who play the harp and flute.
Ndeko na ye ya mobali, Yubali, azalaki koko ya bato oyo babetaka lindanda mpe flite.
22 And Zillah gave birth to Tubal-cain, a forger of every implement of bronze and iron. And the sister of Tubal-cain was Naamah.
Tsila mpe abotaki mwana mobali, Tubali-Kayina, oyo azalaki kosala bisalelo nyonso ya bronze mpe ya bibende. Tubali-Kayina azalaki na ndeko mwasi, kombo na ye ezalaki « Naama. »
23 Then Lamech said to his wives: “Adah and Zillah, hear my voice; wives of Lamech, listen to my speech. For I have slain a man for wounding me, a young man for striking me.
Lemeki alobaki na basi na ye: « Ada mpe Tsila, boyoka ngai malamu; bino basi ya Lemeki, bolanda ngai malamu: Solo, likolo ya pota moko, ngai nabomaki moto; mpe likolo ya mwa pota, nabomaki elenge mobali!
24 If Cain is avenged sevenfold, then Lamech seventy-sevenfold.”
Solo, bakozongisa mbala sambo mabe oyo basali Kayina; kasi mpo na Lemeki, ekozala mbala tuku sambo na sambo! »
25 And Adam again had relations with his wife, and she gave birth to a son and named him Seth, saying, “God has granted me another seed in place of Abel, since Cain killed him.”
Adamu asangisaki lisusu nzoto na mwasi na ye, bongo mwasi na ye abotaki Seti, pamba te alobaki: « Nzambe apesi ngai mwana mosusu na esika ya Abele oyo Kayina abomaki. »
26 And to Seth also a son was born, and he called him Enosh. At that time men began to call upon the name of the LORD.
Seti mpe abotaki mwana mobali, apesaki ye kombo « Enoshi. » Ezalaki na tango wana nde bato bakomaki kobelela Kombo ya Yawe.
