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 nobedo e achiel gi chiege Hawa kendo nomako ich mi nonywolo Kain mowacho niya, “Kuom ngʼwono mar Jehova Nyasaye asenywolo wuowi.”
2 And again she gave birth to his brother Abel. But Abel was a pastor of sheep, and Cain was a farmer.
Bangʼe nonywolo owadgi miluongi ni Abel. Abel ne en jakwadh jamni to Kain ne en japur.
3 Then it happened, after many days, that Cain offered gifts to the Lord, from the fruits of the earth.
Bangʼ ndalo moko Kain nokelo nyak mag lowo kaka misango ne Jehova Nyasaye.
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.
To Abel nokelo ringʼo machwe koa kuom achiel mag jambe makayo. Jehova Nyasaye noyie gi Abel kod misango mare,
5 Yet in truth, he did not look with favor on Cain and his gifts. And Cain was vehemently angry, and his countenance fell.
to Kain kod misango mare to ne ok oyiego. Kuom mano Kain mirima nomako kendo wangʼe nojuol.
6 And the Lord said to him: “Why are you angry? And why is your face fallen?
Eka Jehova Nyasaye nopenjo Kain niya, “Angʼo ma omiyo in-gi mirima? Angʼo ma omiyo wangʼi ojuol?
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.”
Kitimo maber donge diyieni? To ka itimo marach to richo okichore e dhoodi, kendo ogomboni mondo okawi, to in nyaka iloye.”
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.
Eka Kain nowacho ne owadgi Abel niya, “Wadhi waba e pap oko.” To kane gin e pap, Kain nogoyo owadgi ma Abel mi onege.
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?”
Eka Jehova Nyasaye nopenjo Kain niya, “Ere owadu Abel?” Nodwoke niya, “Ok angʼeyo. An jakwadhe?”
10 And he said to him: “What have you done? The voice of your brother’s blood cries out to me from the land.
Jehova Nyasaye nowachone niya, “Isetimo angʼoni? Winji! Remb owadu ywakna koa e lowo.
11 Now, therefore, you will be cursed upon the land, which opened its mouth and received the blood of your brother at your hand.
Omiyo koro in e bwo kwongʼ kendo oseriembi e piny mosengʼamo dhoge mondo omwony remb owadu koa e lweti.
12 When you work it, it will not give you its fruit; a vagrant and a fugitive shall you be upon the land.”
Ka ipuro lowo, to ok obi nyagoni cham. Ibiro bedo ngʼat maonge kar dak mabayo abaya e piny.”
13 And Cain said to the Lord: “My iniquity is too great to deserve kindness.
Kain nowacho ne Jehova Nyasaye niya, “Kum mi miyano ohinga.
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.”
Kawuono iseriemba e lowo kendo ibiro pandona wangʼi; abiro bet ngʼat maonge kar dak mabayo abaya e piny kendo ngʼato angʼata moyuda nonega.”
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.
To Jehova Nyasaye nowachone niya, “Ok kamano, ka ngʼato onegi, nochul ne kuor nyadibiriyo moloyo.” Eka Jehova Nyasaye noketo ranyisi kuom Kain mondo ngʼato moromo kode kik nege.
16 And so Cain, departing from the face of the Lord, lived as a fugitive on the earth, toward the eastern region of Eden.
Omiyo Kain noa e nyim Jehova Nyasaye kendo nodak e piny Nod, mantie yo wuok chiengʼ mar Eden.
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 nobedoe achiel gi chiege mi chiege nomako ich kendo nonywolo Enok. Noyudo Kain gero dala maduongʼ kendo nochako dalano nying wuode ma Enok.
18 Thereafter, Enoch conceived Irad, and Irad conceived Mahujael, and Mahujael conceived Mathusael, and Mathusael conceived Lamech.
Enok nonywolo Irad: Kendo Irad ema ne wuon Mehujael, kendo Mehujael nonywolo Methushael kendo Methushael nonywolo Lamek.
19 Lamech took two wives: the name of one was Adah, and the name of the other was Zillah.
Lamek nokendo mon ariyo, achiel ne nyinge Ada to machielo Zila.
20 And Adah conceived Jabel, who was the father of those who live in tents and are shepherds.
Ada nonywolo Jabal, mane wuon jokwath mane odak e hembe kendo ne nigi jamni.
21 And the name of his brother was Jubal; he was the father of those who sing to the harp and the organ.
Owadgi ne nyinge Jubal, ma en ema nokwongo chako goyo thumbe mag nyatiti gi asili.
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.
Zila bende nonywolo wuowi ma nyinge Jubal-Kain, mane jatheth chumbe duto mag mula kod nyinyo. Nyamin Tubal-Kain nyinge ne Naama.
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.
Lamek nowachone monde ariyo-ka niya, “Ada kod Zila, winjauru, un monda winjuru wechena. Asenego ngʼato, nikech nogoya, wuowi matin nikech nohinya.
24 Sevenfold vengeance will be given for Cain, but for Lamech, seventy-seven times.”
Ka Kain ochulne kuor nyadibiriyo to kara Lamek to nochul ne kuor nyadi piero abiriyo gabiriyo.”
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.”
Adam nobedoe achiel gi chiege, kendo chiege nonywolo wuowi mi nochake ni Seth, mowacho niya, “Nyasaye osemiya nyathi machielo kar Abel mane Kain onego.”
26 But to Seth also was born a son, whom he called Enos. This one began to invoke the name of the Lord.
Seth bende nonywolo wuowi, kendo nochake ni Enosh. E ndalono ema ne ji ochako luongo nying Jehova Nyasaye.
