< 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.
Lao esa, Adam sungguꞌ no sao na Hawa, de ana nairu. Ana bꞌonggi ana touꞌ esa, ma nae, “Ana touꞌ esa dea nema ena, huu LAMATUALAIN tulu-fali au.” De babꞌae e, Kaen (sosoa na ‘dea nema’).
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.
Basa ma, Hawa bꞌonggi seluꞌ ana touꞌ esa, de babꞌae e Habel. Ruꞌa se raꞌamoko ma, Habel dadꞌi manatadꞌa banda, ma Kaen tao osi.
3 So in the course of time, Cain brought some of the fruit of the soil as an offering to the LORD,
Lao esa, Kaen nendi osi na mbule-bꞌoa na ruma, fee LAMATUALAIN.
4 while Abel brought the best portions of the firstborn of his flock. And the LORD looked with favor on Abel and his offering,
Habel o nendi bibꞌi lombo nara, ana ulu nara. Ana mbau-hala se, ma nendi sisi maloleꞌ neu Lamatualain. Ma LAMATUALAIN rala Na namahoꞌo, huu Habel, ma tutunu-hohotu na.
5 but He had no regard for Cain and his offering. So Cain became very angry, and his countenance fell.
Te Ana nda hii Kaen tutunu-hohotu na sa. Naa de, Kaen namanasa, de mata na maꞌalasi.
6 “Why are you angry,” said the LORD to Cain, “and why has your countenance fallen?
Boe ma LAMATUALAIN olaꞌ no Kaen nae, “Heh, Kaen! Taꞌo bee de mumunasa, losa mata ma maꞌalasi taꞌo naa?
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.”
Mete ma ho tao maloleꞌ, naa, Au simbo nggo no maloleꞌ boe. Te besa-bꞌesa! Mete ma ho tao deꞌulakaꞌ, dei fo deꞌulakaꞌ a naa baliꞌ nggo, onaꞌ meo obꞌo lafo. Dadꞌi mete ma hii mae tao deꞌulakaꞌ, malole lenaꞌ nggari hendi leo!”
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.
Lao esa, Kaen kokoe Habel nae, “Odꞌiꞌ! Uma fo teu lao-laoꞌ sia osi.” Ara losa naa, aiboiꞌ ma, Kaen momoko nisa odꞌi na.
9 And the LORD said to Cain, “Where is your brother Abel?” “I do not know!” he answered. “Am I my brother’s keeper?”
Basa ma LAMATUALAIN natane Kaen nae, “Heh, Kaen! Odꞌi ma saa bee?” Nataa nae, “Au nda bubꞌuluꞌ saꞌ! Mae au mana toꞌu ei na, do?”
10 “What have you done?” replied the LORD. “The voice of your brother’s blood cries out to Me from the ground.
Te Lamatualain olaꞌ nae, “Taꞌo bee de ho tao deꞌulaka taꞌo naa? Afiꞌ mae ho bisa funi odꞌi ma raa na sia rae a, te Au ita basa ena!
11 Now you are cursed and banished from the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand.
Ia naa huku-dokiꞌ sae nala nggo. Leleꞌ misa odꞌi ma, rae a musi nala raa na. De ia naa, rae a nda fee masodꞌaꞌ neu nggo sa ena.
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.”
Mete ma ho tao osi, rae a nda fee mbule-bꞌoaꞌ saa-saa saꞌ boe. Mia oras ia, ho koo-kale muu-uma onaꞌ atahori mana toꞌa-taaꞌ sangga masodꞌaꞌ sia raefafoꞌ ia.”
13 But Cain said to the LORD, “My punishment is greater than I can bear.
Te Kaen labꞌan LAMATUALAIN nae, “Awii! Lamatualain, e! Taꞌo bee de huku-doki au bera na seli, losa au nda lemba beꞌi sa!
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.”
Huu Lamatualain oi hendi au sia mamanaꞌ ia, dei fo au uꞌudꞌoodꞌooꞌ mia Lamatualain. Au koo-kale sudꞌiꞌ a bee uu. Ma sudꞌiꞌ a se randaa ro au, naa, tati risa au.”
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.
Te LAMATUALAIN nataa nae, “Nda taꞌo naa sa! Seka tati nisa nggo, naa, Au huku-doki e bera na lenaꞌ lao hitu!” Dei de, LAMATUALAIN tao tatandaꞌ neu Kaen, fo atahori rahine, rae nda bole tao risa e sa.
16 So Cain went out from the presence of the LORD and settled in the land of Nod, east of Eden.
Basa ma, Kaen lao hela mamanaꞌ naa, fo neu naꞌadꞌodꞌoꞌ no LAMATUALAIN. Ana lao losa mamanaꞌ esa sia osi Eden seriꞌ rulu, nara na Nod, sosoa na nae, ‘koo-kale’. Boe ma, ana leo sia naa.
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.
Basa ma, Kaen sao, de sao na nairu. Ana bꞌonggi ana touꞌ esa, de babꞌae e, Henok. Kaen o nafefela kamboꞌ esa, de babꞌae kamboꞌ a Henok, tungga ana na nara na.
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.
Henok ana na, Irad. Ma Irad ana na, Mehuyael. Mehuyael ana na, Metusael. Ma Metusael ana na, Lamek.
19 And Lamech married two women, one named Adah and the other Zillah.
Lamek sao na rua. Esa naran Ada, ma esa naran Sila.
20 Adah gave birth to Jabal; he was the father of those who dwell in tents and raise livestock.
Ada ana ulu na, naran Yabal. Yabal tititi-nonosi nara, dadꞌi manatadꞌa. Ara rasodꞌa lali-laliꞌ, ma leo sia lalaat.
21 And his brother’s name was Jubal; he was the father of all who play the harp and flute.
Yabal odꞌi na, naran Yubal. Yubal tititi-nonosi nara, mana maꞌaminaꞌ lii-liiꞌ mana pake sanar onaꞌ a sasando, ma fuu onaꞌ suling.
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.
Ma Lamek sao na Sila bꞌonggi Tubal Kaen. Tubal Kaen tititi-nonosi nara mana tutu besi. Ara tao sudꞌiꞌ a saa mataꞌ-mataꞌ mia besi ma riti. Tubal Kaen feto na, Naꞌama.
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.
Lao esa, Lamek nananaru ao na mia sao nara ruꞌa se mata nara nae, “Rena, e! Faꞌ ra monetenaꞌ esa tutu au, te au tao isa e.
24 If Cain is avenged sevenfold, then Lamech seventy-sevenfold.”
Atahori mana tao nisa Kaen, hambu huku-dokiꞌ lao hitu. Te mete ma hambu mana nae nambedꞌaꞌ ralaꞌ no au, ana hambu huku-dokiꞌ lao hitu nulu hitu.”
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.”
Adam sao na Hawa bonggi ana touꞌ esa fai. De ara babꞌae e, Set, huu Hawa nae, “Lamatualain fee anaꞌ ia nggati Habel, fo Kaen tao nisaꞌ a.”
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.
Dꞌoo-dꞌoo ma, Set hambu ana touꞌ esa, naran Enos. Leleꞌ naa, atahori ra feꞌe rahine LAMATUALAIN ena, ma beꞌutee neu E.
