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.
Adam de ne ho kaa ne yere Hawa ma onyinsɛn, woo abarimaa a wɔfrɛ no Kain. Na ɔkae se, Awurade adaworoma, mawo ɔbabarima.
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.
Akyiri no, ɔsan woo nʼakyi babarima too no din Habel. Na Habel bɛyɛɛ oguanhwɛfo, na Kain nso bɛyɛɛ okuafo.
3 So in the course of time, Cain brought some of the fruit of the soil as an offering to the LORD,
Nna bi akyi no, Kain de nʼafum nnɔbae bi kɔbɔɔ Awurade afɔre.
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 nso de ne nyɛmmoa no mu mmakan a wɔadodɔ srade kɔbɔɔ Onyankopɔn afɔre. Awurade ani sɔɔ Habel afɔrebɔ no.
5 but He had no regard for Cain and his offering. So Cain became very angry, and his countenance fell.
Nanso Kain afɔrebɔ no de, nʼani ansɔ. Asɛm no anyɛ Kain dɛ, na ne bo fuwii.
6 “Why are you angry,” said the LORD to Cain, “and why has your countenance fallen?
Awurade bisaa Kain se, “Adɛn nti na wo bo afuw? Adɛn nti na woamuna saa?
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.”
Sɛ woyɛ ade pa a, anka wɔrennye wo nto mu ana? Sɛ wonyɛ ade pa de a, bɔne gyina wo pon ano, ɛrehwehwɛ wo ako atia wo, nanso ɛsɛ sɛ wudi no so.”
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.
Da bi Kain ka kyerɛɛ ne nua Habel se, “Ma yɛnkɔ afum.” Bere a wɔwɔ afum hɔ no, Kain tow hyɛɛ ne nua Habel so, kum no.
9 And the LORD said to Cain, “Where is your brother Abel?” “I do not know!” he answered. “Am I my brother’s keeper?”
Awurade bisaa Kain se, “Wo nua Habel wɔ he?” Kain buae se, “Minnim. Mɛyɛ dɛn ahu? Me na mehwɛ me nua so ana?”
10 “What have you done?” replied the LORD. “The voice of your brother’s blood cries out to Me from the ground.
Awurade bisaa Kain se, “Dɛn na woayɛ yi? Tie! Wo nua mogya su fi asase so frɛ me.
11 Now you are cursed and banished from the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand.
Mprempren, wɔadome wo, apam wo afi asase a ebuee nʼano gyee wo nua mogya fii wo nsam no so.
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.”
Sɛ woyɛ asase no so adwuma sɛ dɛn ara a, worennya nnɔbae biara mfi so. Wobɛyɛ ɔkobɔfo, akyinkyin asase so.”
13 But Cain said to the LORD, “My punishment is greater than I can bear.
Kain kae se, “Awurade mʼasotwe boro me so.
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.”
Nnɛ, woapam me afi asase so ne wʼanim. Mɛyɛ ɔkobɔfo akyinkyin asase so na obiara a obenya me no bekum me.”
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.
Nanso Awurade ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Ɛnte saa koraa! Obiara a obekum Kain no benya Kain asotwe no mpɛn ason.” Afei, Awurade hyɛɛ Kain agyirae bi sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a, obiara a obehyia no no renkum no.
16 So Cain went out from the presence of the LORD and settled in the land of Nod, east of Eden.
Enti Kain guan fii Awurade anim, kɔtenaa Nod asase so wɔ Eden apuei fam.
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.
Kain de ne ho kaa ne yere na onyinsɛn, woo ɔbabarima, too no din Henok. Saa bere no, Kain kyekyeree kurow bi de too ne ba Henok.
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 woo Irad. Irad woo Mehuyael. Mehuyael woo Metusael. Metusael woo Lamek.
19 And Lamech married two women, one named Adah and the other Zillah.
Lamek waree mmea baanu a wɔn din de Ada ne Sila.
20 Adah gave birth to Jabal; he was the father of those who dwell in tents and raise livestock.
Ada woo Yabal a nʼasefo yɛ wɔn a wɔte ntamadan mu yɛn mmoa.
21 And his brother’s name was Jubal; he was the father of all who play the harp and flute.
Na Yabal nuabarima din de Yubal a nʼasefo yɛ mmɛnhyɛnfo ne sankubɔfo.
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.
Sila woo ɔbabarima a wɔfrɛ no Tubal-Kain. Na ɔyɛ kɔbere atomfo ne nnade ahorow nyinaa atomfo agya. Na Tubal-Kain wɔ nuabea bi a ne din de 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.
Da bi, Lamek ka kyerɛɛ ne yerenom Ada ne Sila se, “Muntie me, me yerenom makum aberante bi a, ɔtow hyɛɛ me so, piraa me.
24 If Cain is avenged sevenfold, then Lamech seventy-sevenfold.”
Sɛ Kain so aweretɔ bɛyɛ mpɛn ason a, ɛno de, me Lamek de, nea obekum me no, nʼasotwe bɛyɛ mpɛn aduɔson ason.”
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.”
Akyiri no, Adam de ne ho kaa ne yere Hawa. Na ɔwoo ɔbabarima bio. Na wɔtoo no din Set kae se, “Onyankopɔn ama me ɔba foforo asi Habel a Kain kum no no anan mu.”
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.
Set nso woo ɔbabarima na ɔtoo no din Enos. Saa bere no mu na nnipa fitii ase bɔɔ Awurade din.
