Genesis 4
1 And Adam knew Eve his wife, and she conceived and brought forth Cain and said, I have gained a man through God.
Addaam niitii isaa Hewaan bira gaʼe; isheenis ulfooftee Qaayinin deesse. Isheenis, “Ani gargaarsa Waaqayyootiin ilma tokko argadheera” jette.
2 And she again bore his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.
Itti aansitees obboleessa isaa Abeelin deesse. Abeel tiksee hoolotaa ture; Qaayin immoo lafa qota ture.
3 And it was so after some time that Cain brought of the fruits of the earth a sacrifice to the Lord.
Yeroo muraasa keessatti Qaayin waan lafti baafteef keessaa Waaqayyoof aarsaa dhiʼeesse.
4 And Abel also brought of the firstborn of his sheep and of his fatlings, and God looked upon Abel and his gifts,
Abeel immoo hangafoota hoolota isaa keessaa cooma cooma isaa dhiʼeesse. Waaqayyo faara tolaadhaan gara Abeelii fi gara aarsaa inni dhiʼeesse sanaa ilaale.
5 but Cain and his sacrifices he regarded not, and Cain was exceedingly sorrowful and his countenance fell.
Gara Qaayinii fi gara aarsaa isaa garuu hin ilaalle. Kanaafuu Qaayin akka malee aaree fuulli isaa gurraachaʼe.
6 And the Lord God said to Cain, Why art thou become very sorrowful and why is thy countenance fallen?
Waaqayyos Qaayiniin akkana jedhe; “Ati maaliif aarte? Fuulli kees maaliif gurraachaʼe?
7 Hast thou not sinned if thou hast brought it rightly, but not rightly divided it? be still, to thee shall be his submission, and thou shalt rule over him.
Utuu waan qajeelaa hojjettee silaa ati fudhatama argatta mitii? Garuu yoo waan qajeelaa hojjechuu baatte cubbuun balbala kee duratti riphee si eeggata; si qabachuu barbaadas; ati garuu isa moʼachuu qabda.”
8 And Cain said to Abel his brother, Let us go out into the plain; and it came to pass that when they were in the plain Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.
Qaayinis ergasii obboleessa isaa Abeeliin, “Kottu mee dirreetti baanaa” jedhe. Utuma dirree irra jiranuus Qaayin obboleessa isaa Abeelitti kaʼee isa ajjeese.
9 And the Lord God said to Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? and he said, I know not, am I my brother's keeper?
Waaqayyos, “Obboleessi kee Abeel eessa jira?” jedhee Qaayin gaafate. Qaayin immoo, “Ani hin beeku; ani eegduu obboleessa kootiitii?” jedhee deebise.
10 And the Lord said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood cries to me out of the ground.
Waaqayyo akkana jedhe; “Ati maal goote? Dhiigni obboleessa keetii lafaa natti iyyaa jira.
11 And now thou [art] cursed from the earth which has opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand.
Ati amma abaaramaa dha; lafa dhiiga obboleessa keetii si harkaa fudhachuuf afaan banatte irraas ni ariʼamta.
12 When thou tillest the earth, then it shall not continue to give its strength to thee: thou shalt be groaning and trembling on the earth.
Yeroo ati lafa qotattutti lafti deebitee midhaan siif hin kennitu. Ati lafa irratti joortuu boqonnaa hin qabne taata.”
13 And Cain said to the Lord God, My crime [is] too great for me to be forgiven.
Qaayin immoo Waaqayyoon akkana jedhe; “Adabamuun koo waan ani baachuu dandaʼuun ol.
14 If thou castest me out this day from the face of the earth, and I shall be hidden from thy presence, and I shall be groaning and trembling upon the earth, then it will be that any one that finds me shall slay me.
Kunoo ati harʼa biyyaa na ariʼaa jirta; anis fuula kee duraa nan dhokadha; lafa irratti joortuu boqonnaa hin qabne nan taʼa; namni na argatu kam iyyuus na ajjeesa.”
15 And the Lord God said to him, Not so, any one that slays Cain shall suffer seven-fold vengeance; and the Lord God set a mark upon Cain that no one that found him might slay him.
Waaqayyo garuu, “Akkana miti; namni Qaayinin ajjeesu kam iyyuu dachaa torba haaloo baafama” jedheen. Waaqayyos akka namni isa argatu tokko iyyuu isa hin ajjeefneef Qaayinitti mallattoo godhe.
16 So Cain went forth from the presence of God and dwelt in the land of Nod over against Edem.
Ergasiis Qaayin fuula Waaqayyoo duraa baʼee Eeden irraa karaa baʼa biiftuutiin biyya Noodi keessa jiraate.
17 And Cain knew his wife, and having conceived she bore Enoch; and he built a city; and he named the city after the name of his son, Enoch.
Qaayin niitii isaa beeke; isheenis ulfooftee Henookin deesse. Qaayinis magaalaa tokko hundeesse; magaalaa sanas Henook jedhee maqaa ilma isaatiin waame.
18 And to Enoch was born Gaidad; and Gaidad begot Maleleel; and Maleleel begot Mathusala; and Mathusala begot Lamech.
Henook Iiraadin dhalche; Iiraadi Meʼeelin dhalche; Mehuuyaaʼeel Matusaaʼelin dhalche; Matusaaʼel immoo Laamehin dhalche.
19 And Lamech took to himself two wives; the name of the one was Ada, and the name of the second Sella.
Laameh dubartoota maqaan isaanii Aadaa fi Xiilaa jedhamu lamaan fuudhe.
20 And Ada bore Jobel; he was the father of those that dwell in tents, feeding cattle.
Aadaan Yaabaalin deesse; Yaabaalis abbaa warra dunkaana keessa jiraatanii horii horsiisanii ture.
21 And the name of his brother was Jubal; he it was who invented the psaltery and harp.
Maqaan obboleessa isaa Yuubaal ture; inni immoo abbaa warra kiraara rukutaniitii fi ulullee afuufanii ti.
22 And Sella also bore Thobel; he was a smith, a manufacturer both of brass and iron; and the sister of Thobel was Noëma.
Xiilaan immoo ilma Tuubaal Qaayin jedhamu kan naasii fi sibiila tumee meeshaawwan garaa garaa hojjetu deesse; obboleettiin Tuubaal Qaayinis Naʼamaa turte.
23 And Lamech said to his wives, Ada and Sella, Hear my voice, ye wives of Lamech, consider my words, because I have slain a man to my sorrow and a youth to my grief.
Laameh niitota isaatiin akkana jedhe; “Aadaa fi Xiilaan na dhagaʼaa; yaa niitota Laamehii dubbii koo dhaggeeffadhaa. Nama tokko waan inni na madeesseef, dargaggeessa tokko waan inni na miidheef ani isa ajjeeseera.
24 Because vengeance has been exacted seven times on Cain's behalf, on Lamech's [it shall be] seventy times seven.
Yoo Qaayiniif dachaa torba haaloon baafame Laamehiif immoo dachaa torbaatamii torba ni baafama.”
25 And Adam knew Eve his wife, and she conceived and bore a son, and called his name Seth, saying, For God has raised up to me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew.
Addaam ammas niitii isaa beeke; isheenis ilma deesse; maqaa isaas, “Erga Qaayin Abeelin ajjeesee as Waaqni iddoo Abeel daaʼima biraa naa kenneera” jettee “Seeti” jettee moggaafte.
26 And Seth had a son, and he called his name Enos: he hoped to call on the name of the Lord God.
Seetiifis ilmi ni dhalate; innis Enoosh jedhee isa moggaase. Bara sana namoonni maqaa Waaqayyoo waammachuu jalqaban.
