Genesis 4
1 Truly, Adam knew his wife Eve, who conceived and gave birth to Cain, saying, “I have obtained a man through God.”
Adam ni a yu Evi a panue teh, camo a vawn. Capa a khe teh, BAWIPA ni na kabawp dawk ca tongpa ka khe ati teh, Kain telah min a phung.
2 And again she gave birth to his brother Abel. But Abel was a pastor of sheep, and Cain was a farmer.
Hahoi, a nawngha Abel bout a khe. Abel teh tu kakhoumkung lah ao teh, Kain teh law kasakkung lah ao.
3 Then it happened, after many days, that Cain offered gifts to the Lord, from the fruits of the earth.
Atueng akuep torei teh, Kain ni amae law thung e a pawhiknaw hah BAWIPA koe a sin.
4 Abel likewise offered from the firstborn of his flock, and from their fat. And the Lord looked with favor on Abel and his gifts.
Abel ni hai tu pasuek ka khe e hoi, kathâwnaw a sin. Hatdawkvah, BAWIPA ni Abel hoi a sin e hno teh a dâw pouh.
5 Yet in truth, he did not look with favor on Cain and his gifts. And Cain was vehemently angry, and his countenance fell.
Hatei Kain hoi a sin e hno teh dâw pouh hoeh. Hatdawkvah, Kain teh a lung puenghoi a khuek dawkvah minhmai a mathoe.
6 And the Lord said to him: “Why are you angry? And why is your face fallen?
BAWIPA ni Kain koevah, Bangkongmaw na lungkhuek teh minhmai a mathoe.
7 If you behave well, will you not receive? But if you behave badly, will not sin at once be present at the door? And so its desire will be within you, and you will be dominated by it.”
Kahawicalah na sak pawiteh ka dâw mahoeh maw. Kahawicalah na sak hoehpawiteh yon thuengnae sathei teh longkha koe a tabo. Ahnie a ngainae teh nange doeh. Hatei nang ni ahni na uk telah atipouh.
8 And Cain said to his brother Abel, “Let us go outside.” And when they were in the field, Cain rose up against his brother Abel, and he put him to death.
Kain ni a nawngha Abel koevah law lah cet sei atipouh. Law a pha roi torei teh Kain ni a nawngha a taran teh a thei.
9 And the Lord said to Cain, “Where is your brother Abel?” And he responded: “I do not know. Am I my brother’s keeper?”
Hatdawkvah, BAWIPA ni Kain koe, na maw na nawngha Abel te, telah a pacei navah, ahni ni ka panuek hoeh, ka nawngha ka khoum e nahoeh telah atipouh.
10 And he said to him: “What have you done? The voice of your brother’s blood cries out to me from the land.
Hahoi, BAWIPA ni bangmaw na sak na nawngha e thi ni talai dawk hoi kai koe a hram toe.
11 Now, therefore, you will be cursed upon the land, which opened its mouth and received the blood of your brother at your hand.
Na kut hoi na palawng e na nawngha thi, dâw hanelah apâhni ka ang e talai dawk hoi nang teh atu thoebo lah na o toe.
12 When you work it, it will not give you its fruit; a vagrant and a fugitive shall you be upon the land.”
Talai dawk thaw na tawk navah a thaonae nang koe tâcawt mahoeh toe. Nang teh talai vah, ka yawng e tami hoi ka kâva a e tami lah na o han telah atipouh.
13 And Cain said to the Lord: “My iniquity is too great to deserve kindness.
Kain ni BAWIPA koevah, reknae ka hmu e heh ka phu thai e hlak a lenhnawn.
14 Behold, you have cast me out this day before the face of the earth, and from your face I will be hidden; and I will be a vagrant and a fugitive on the earth. Therefore, anyone who finds me will kill me.”
Sahnin teh talai hoi na pâlei toe ti ka panue. Na hmaitung hoi hro lah ka o toe. Talai van vah ka yawng e hoi yuengyoe kâva e tami lah kaawm vaiteh, ka hmawt e pueng ni na thei han doeh telah atipouh.
15 And the Lord said to him: “By no means will it be so; rather, whoever would kill Cain, will be punished sevenfold.” And the Lord placed a seal upon Cain, so that anyone who found him would not put him to death.
Hatei, BAWIPA ni Kain koe nang ka thet e pueng teh let sari touh hoi a moi ka pathung han atipouh. Hahoi, BAWIPA ni Kain ka hmawt e tami, buet touh ni hai a thei hoeh nahanlah ahni dawk noutnae a ta pouh.
16 And so Cain, departing from the face of the Lord, lived as a fugitive on the earth, toward the eastern region of Eden.
Hathnukkhu, Kain teh BAWIPA e hmaitung hoi a tâco teh, Eden kanîtholah, Nod ram dawk kho a sak.
17 Then Cain knew his wife, and she conceived and gave birth to Enoch. And he built a city, and he called its name by the name of his son, Enoch.
Kain ni a yu a panue teh, camo a vawn teh Enok a khe. Kho a thawng teh a capa min lah Enok kho telah min a poe.
18 Thereafter, Enoch conceived Irad, and Irad conceived Mahujael, and Mahujael conceived Mathusael, and Mathusael conceived Lamech.
Hahoi Enok ni Irad a khe. Irad ni Mehujael a khe. Mehujael ni Methushael a khe. Methushael ni Lamek a khe.
19 Lamech took two wives: the name of one was Adah, and the name of the other was Zillah.
Hathnukkhu, Lamek ni a yu kahni touh a la teh, apasueke min teh Adah, apâhni e min teh Zillah doeh.
20 And Adah conceived Jabel, who was the father of those who live in tents and are shepherds.
Adah ni Jabal a khe. Ahni teh rimnaw dawk kho ka sak e lah ao teh saringnaw kapacakung e na pa lah ao.
21 And the name of his brother was Jubal; he was the father of those who sing to the harp and the organ.
A nawngha e min teh Jubal. Ahni teh ratoung hoi vovitnaw ka pâtu e na pa lah ao.
22 Zillah also conceived Tubalcain, who was a hammerer and artisan in every work of brass and iron. In fact, the sister of Tubalcain was Noema.
Zillah ni hai Tubal-kain a khe. Ahni teh rahum hoi sum ka dei pueng e na pa lah ao. Naamah teh Tubal-kain e tawncanu lah ao.
23 And Lamech said to his wives Adah and Zillah: “Listen to my voice, you wives of Lamech, pay attention to my speech. For I have killed a man to my own harm, and an adolescent to my own bruising.
Hahoi, Lamek ni a yu roi Adah hoi Zillah koevah, ka lawk thai roi haw, patawnae na poe dawkvah tongpa buet touh ka thei. Na pacekpahlek dawkvah, thoundoun buet touh ka thei toe.
24 Sevenfold vengeance will be given for Cain, but for Lamech, seventy-seven times.”
Kain ni let sari touh e moipathungnae khang pawiteh, Lamek ni teh a let 70 touh hoi a khang han.
25 Adam also knew his wife again, and she gave birth to a son, and she called his name Seth, saying, “God has given me another offspring, in place of Abel, whom Cain killed.”
Hahoi, Adam ni a yu bout a panue teh, ca tongpa a khe. Seth telah min a phung. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Kain ni Abel a thei dawkvah Cathut ni alouke cati bout na poe telah ati.
26 But to Seth also was born a son, whom he called Enos. This one began to invoke the name of the Lord.
Seth ni hai capa a khe teh Enosh telah min a phung. Hahoi tami ni Jehovah min kaw han a kamtawng awh.
