< Genesis 4 >

1 Truly, Adam knew his wife Eve, who conceived and gave birth to Cain, saying, “I have obtained a man through God.”
Adamu'a nenaro Ivi'ene masegeno amu'ene huno ne'mofavre kasenenteno ana a'mo'a huno, Anumzamo naza hige'na ne'mofavre erifore hue, nehuno Keni'e huno agi'a antemi'ne.
2 And again she gave birth to his brother Abel. But Abel was a pastor of sheep, and Cain was a farmer.
Hagi henka Ivi'a Keni neganana Abeli kasentegeno ana ne'mo'a ra huno sipisipi afu kegava higeno, Keni'a mopafi eri'za erino hoza anteno kegava hu'ne.
3 Then it happened, after many days, that Cain offered gifts to the Lord, from the fruits of the earth.
Magokna Keni'a Ra Anumzamofo ofa hunteku hoza'afinti ne'za erino e'ne.
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.
Ana higeno Abeli'a sipisipi afutamimpinti afovage hu'nea agonesa afu mago aheno eme Kresramana vuntegeno, Ra Anumzamo'a negeno Abelina antahi muse hunte'ne.
5 Yet in truth, he did not look with favor on Cain and his gifts. And Cain was vehemently angry, and his countenance fell.
Hianagi Keni'ma ofa hunte'neaza keteno, Anumzamo'a antahi musena huontegeno, Kenina tusi asi vazigeno avugosa rugriri'ne.
6 And the Lord said to him: “Why are you angry? And why is your face fallen?
Ana higeno Ra Anumzamo'a negeno Keninkura amanage hu'ne, Nahigenka krimpagna nehunka kavugosa runegaririne?
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.”
Hagi kagra'ma knare kavu'kava'ma hantesina Nagra muse hugantosine. Hanki kagrama havizama hanankeno'a, kumimo'a kazeri kagateregahianki, kagra hankavetinka mani'nenka kumira azeri agatero.
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.
Hagi mago knazupa Keni'a nagana'amofo Abelinku hofa trampi vanu'e huno agi higeke, vukema ana hofa trampi umanineke, Keni'a nagna'amofo Abelina ahe fri'ne.
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?”
Anante Ra Anumzamo'a Kenina antahigeno, Negagna Abeli'a inantega mani'ne? Higeno Keni'a huno, Nagra onke'noanki, Kagrama kagesama antahinana nagra nagananimofo kva hunte ne' mani'nofi?
10 And he said to him: “What have you done? The voice of your brother’s blood cries out to me from the land.
Higeno Ra Anumzana Anumzamo'a amanage hu'ne, Kagra na'a higenka kefo kavukvara hu'nane? Nagnakamofo koramo'a mopafi tagiramineno keaga hunto huno Nagritega krafage nehie.
11 Now, therefore, you will be cursed upon the land, which opened its mouth and received the blood of your brother at your hand.
Hagi nagna kamofoma ahenka eri taginana koramo'a, mopafi tagiramigeno mopamo ne'negu, ana mopa kazusi huntoankino ne'zana forera osugahie.
12 When you work it, it will not give you its fruit; a vagrant and a fugitive shall you be upon the land.”
Hagi mopafima hozama erinka antesnana hozamo'a, hikazake huno nena ahenonte'na, nonka'a omanena kanke kanke hunka ama mopafina vano hugahane.
13 And Cain said to the Lord: “My iniquity is too great to deserve kindness.
Keni'a amanage huno Ra Anumzamofo kenona hu'ne, Nagri'ma hunantana kemo'a tusi'a kna navesie!
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.”
Hanki kama antahio! Kagra ama mopafinti nagrira meni nazeri atranankina, Kagri kavuga omaninugeno, noni'a omane'nenigena ama mopafina kanke kanke neha'nena, aza'o nagesuno'a nahe frigahie.
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.
Higeno Ra Anumzamo'a kenona'a huno, Kagri'ma kahesimo'a ana nona'a 7ni'a zupa kna'zana agetereno erigahie, nehuno Kenima vahe'mo'zama negezama ohesnagu mago avame'za agofetu antente'ne.
16 And so Cain, departing from the face of the Lord, lived as a fugitive on the earth, toward the eastern region of Eden.
Ana higeno Ra Anumzamofo avugatira Keni'a atreno Ideni hozamofo zage hanati kaziga vuno, Nodi mopare umani'ne.
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.
Keni'a nenaro'ene masegeno amu'ene huno ne'mofavre kasenteno, agi'a Inoku'e huno ante'ne. Hagi anante mago rankuma erifore huno kiteno, ana kumamofo agi'a Inoku'e huno mofavre'amofo agire asamre'ne.
18 Thereafter, Enoch conceived Irad, and Irad conceived Mahujael, and Mahujael conceived Mathusael, and Mathusael conceived Lamech.
Hagi Inoku'a mago mofavre eri fore huno agi'a Iradi'e hu'ne. Iradi'a Mehusaeli nefa'za higeno, Mehusaeli'a Metusael nefa'za higeno, Metusaeli'a Lemeki nafa'za hu'ne.
19 Lamech took two wives: the name of one was Adah, and the name of the other was Zillah.
Hagi Lemeki'a tare atre zanante'ne, mago'mofo agi'a Ada'e, mago a'mofo agi'a Zila'e.
20 And Adah conceived Jabel, who was the father of those who live in tents and are shepherds.
Ada'a ne'mofavre kasenteno agi'a Jabali'e huno ante'neankino, fugagi noma ki'za nemase'za afu'ma kegava nehaza vahe'mokizmi nezamageho'e.
21 And the name of his brother was Jubal; he was the father of those who sing to the harp and the organ.
Hagi ngana'amofo agi'a Jubali'e. Jubali'a ese'ma agafa huno nofite zavena (harp) nehaza naga'mokizmi nezamageho'e.
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.
Hanki Zila'a Tubalkein kasente'neankino, agra aenima, kopama tevefi krefizo huteno amasagino eri'zama eri'zantami tro nehia nere. Tubalkeini nesaro agi'a Na'ama'e.
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.
Mago zupa Lemeki'a nenaro kiznigura amanage huno zanasmi'ne, Adagane Zilagata'a kama antahi'o, mago nehaza ne'mo nahe kuzafa antege'na, agrira ete ahe fri'noe.
24 Sevenfold vengeance will be given for Cain, but for Lamech, seventy-seven times.”
Hagi mago ne'mo'ma, Kenima eme ahe frisanuno'a, 7ni'a zupa knazana eri agofetu huno erigahie. Hianagi tamage huno nagri'ma Lemeki'nama eme nahesanuno'a, 77ni'a knazana agofetu huno nona'a erigahie.
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.”
Hagi Adamu'a nenaro'ene masegeno ne' mofavre kasenteno amanage hu'ne, Keni'ma Abelima ahe fri'nea nona'a Anumzamo'a ne'mofavrea namiankino agi'a Seti'e.
26 But to Seth also was born a son, whom he called Enos. This one began to invoke the name of the Lord.
Henka'a Setina ne'mofavre fore humigeno agi'a Enosi'e huno antemi'ne. Ana knafi vahe'mo'za erigafa hu'za Ra Anumzamofo agihanta nevazi'za, Agrite mono hunte'naze.
