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.
Adhamu akarara nomukadzi wake Evha, uye akava nemimba akabereka Kaini. Akati, “Norubatsiro rwaJehovha, ndabereka murume.”
2 And she again bore his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.
Mushure akabereka mununʼuna wake Abheri. Zvino Abheri aiva mufudzi wamakwai, uye Kaini aiva murimi wevhu.
3 And it was so after some time that Cain brought of the fruits of the earth a sacrifice to the Lord.
Mukufamba kwenguva, Kaini akauya nezvimwe zvezvibereko zvevhu sechipiriso kuna Jehovha.
4 And Abel also brought of the firstborn of his sheep and of his fatlings, and God looked upon Abel and his gifts,
Asi Abheri akauya nomugove wamafuta aibva mumhongora dzamakwai. Jehovha akagamuchira Abheri nechipiriso chake,
5 but Cain and his sacrifices he regarded not, and Cain was exceedingly sorrowful and his countenance fell.
asi Kaini nechipiriso chake haana kumugamuchira. Saka Kaini akatsamwa zvikuru, uye chiso chake chikaunyana.
6 And the Lord God said to Cain, Why art thou become very sorrowful and why is thy countenance fallen?
Ipapo Jehovha akati kuna Kaini, “Wakatsamweiko? Seiko chiso chako chakaunyana?
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.
Kana ukaita zvakanaka, haungagamuchirwi here? Asi kana usingaiti zvakanaka, chivi chakakuvandira pamukova wako; chinoda kukubata, asi iwe unofanira kuchikunda.”
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.
Zvino Kaini akati kumununʼuna wake, “Ngatimbobuda tiende kumunda.” Uye vakati vari mumunda Kaini akarwisa mununʼuna wake Abheri akamuuraya.
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?
Ipapo Jehovha akati kuna Kaini, “Aripiko mununʼuna wako Abheri?” Iye akati, “Handizivi. Ko, ndini muchengeti womununʼuna wangu here?”
10 And the Lord said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood cries to me out of the ground.
Jehovha akati, “Waiteiko? Inzwa! Ropa romununʼuna wako riri kudanidzira kwandiri richibva muvhu.
11 And now thou [art] cursed from the earth which has opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand.
Zvino watukwa uye wadzingwa panyika yazarura muromo wayo kuti imedze ropa romununʼuna wako kubva paruoko rwako.
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.
Paunorima ivhu, harichazombokuberekeri zvibereko zvaro. Uchava mudzungairi asingatongozorori panyika.”
13 And Cain said to the Lord God, My crime [is] too great for me to be forgiven.
Kaini akati kuna Jehovha, “Kurangwa kwangu kunopfuura zvandinokwanisa kutakura.
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.
Nhasi muri kundidzinga kubva panyika, uye ndichavanzwa pamberi penyu; ndichava mudzungairi asina zororo panyika, uye ani naani achandiwana achandiuraya.”
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.
Asi Jehovha akati kwaari, “Kwete hazvingadaro; kana munhu upi zvake akauraya Kaini, achatsiviwa kanomwe.” Ipapo Jehovha akaisa rupau pana Kaini kuitira kuti kurege kuva nomunhu anenge amuwana angazomuuraya.
16 So Cain went forth from the presence of God and dwelt in the land of Nod over against Edem.
Saka Kaini akabva pamberi paJehovha akandogara munyika yeNodhi, kumabvazuva kweEdheni.
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.
Kaini akarara nomukadzi wake, akava nemimba akamuberekera Enoki. Ipapo Kaini akanga achivaka guta, uye akaritumidza zita romwanakomana wake Enoki.
18 And to Enoch was born Gaidad; and Gaidad begot Maleleel; and Maleleel begot Mathusala; and Mathusala begot Lamech.
Enoki akaberekerwa Iradhi, uye Iradhi akanga ari baba vaMehujaeri, uye Mehujaeri akanga ari baba vaMetushaeri, uye Metushaeri akanga ari baba vaRameki.
19 And Lamech took to himself two wives; the name of the one was Ada, and the name of the second Sella.
Rameki akawana vakadzi vaviri, mumwe ainzi Adha uye mumwe ainzi Zira.
20 And Ada bore Jobel; he was the father of those that dwell in tents, feeding cattle.
Adha akabereka Jabhari, ndiye akanga ari baba vavaya vanogara mumatende vaichengeta zvipfuwo.
21 And the name of his brother was Jubal; he it was who invented the psaltery and harp.
Zita romununʼuna wake rainzi Jubhari; akanga ari baba wavose vanoridza rudimbwa nenyere.
22 And Sella also bore Thobel; he was a smith, a manufacturer both of brass and iron; and the sister of Thobel was Noëma.
Zira akanga ane mwanakomana, Tubhari-Kaini, aigadzira nhumbi dzemhando dzose dzendarira nedzesimbi. Hanzvadzi yaTubhari-Kaini yainzi Naama.
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.
Rameki akati kuvakadzi vake, “Adha naZira, nditeererei; imi vakadzi vaRameki, inzwai mashoko angu. Ndauraya munhu nokuti andikuvadza, nejaya nokuti randipwanya.
24 Because vengeance has been exacted seven times on Cain's behalf, on Lamech's [it shall be] seventy times seven.
Kana Kaini achitsiviwa kanomwe, naizvozvo Rameki kana makumi manomwe namanomwe.”
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.
Adhamu akararazve nomukadzi wake, akabereka mwanakomana akamutumidza zita rokuti Seti, achiti, “Mwari andipa mumwe mwana panzvimbo yaAbheri, sezvo Kaini akamuuraya.”
26 And Seth had a son, and he called his name Enos: he hoped to call on the name of the Lord God.
Setiwo akava nomwanakomana, akamutumidza zita rokuti Enoshi. Panguva iyo vanhu vakatanga kudana kuzita raJehovha.
