Genesis 4
1 And Man knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bore Cain, and said, I have acquired a man with Jehovah.
Adamu akakutana kimwili na mkewe Eva, naye akapata mimba, akamzaa Kaini. Eva akasema, “Kwa msaada wa Bwana nimemzaa mwanaume.”
2 And she further bore his brother Abel. And Abel was a shepherd, but Cain was a husbandman.
Baadaye akamzaa Abeli ndugu yake. Basi Abeli akawa mfugaji, na Kaini akawa mkulima.
3 And in process of time it came to pass that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering to Jehovah.
Baada ya muda Kaini akaleta baadhi ya mazao ya shamba kama sadaka kwa Bwana.
4 And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock, and of their fat. And Jehovah looked upon Abel, and on his offering;
Lakini Abeli akaleta fungu nono kutoka baadhi ya wazaliwa wa kwanza wa mifugo yake. Bwana akamkubali Abeli pamoja na sadaka yake,
5 and upon Cain, and on his offering, he did not look. And Cain was very angry, and his countenance fell.
lakini Mungu hakumkubali Kaini pamoja na sadaka yake. Kwa hiyo Kaini akakasirika sana, uso wake ukawa na huzuni.
6 And Jehovah said to Cain, Why art thou angry, and why is thy countenance fallen?
Kisha Bwana akamwambia Kaini, “Kwa nini umekasirika? Kwa nini uso wako una huzuni?
7 If thou doest well, will not [thy countenance] look up [with confidence]? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door; and unto thee [shall be] his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.
Ukifanya lililo sawa, je, hutakubalika? Lakini usipofanya lililo sawa, dhambi inakuvizia mlangoni mwako, inakutamani wewe, lakini inakupasa uishinde.”
8 And Cain spoke to Abel his brother, and it came to pass when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.
Basi Kaini akamwambia ndugu yake Abeli, “Twende shambani.” Walipokuwa shambani, Kaini akamshambulia Abeli ndugu yake, akamuua.
9 And Jehovah said to Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: am I my brother's keeper?
Kisha Bwana akamuuliza Kaini, “Ndugu yako Abeli yuko wapi?” Akamjibu, “Sijui, je, mimi ni mlinzi wa ndugu yangu?”
10 And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood is crying to me from the ground.
Bwana akasema, “Umefanya nini? Sikiliza! Damu ya ndugu yako inanililia mimi kutoka ardhini.
11 And now be thou cursed from the ground, which hath opened its mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand.
Sasa umelaaniwa na umehamishwa kutoka ardhi, ambayo imefungua kinywa chake na kupokea damu ya ndugu yako kutoka mkononi mwako.
12 When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield thee its strength; a wanderer and fugitive shalt thou be on the earth.
Utakapoilima ardhi, haitakupa tena mazao yake. Utakuwa mtu wa kutangatanga duniani asiye na utulivu.”
13 And Cain said to Jehovah, My punishment is too great to be borne.
Kaini akamwambia Bwana, “Adhabu yangu ni zaidi ya niwezavyo kustahimili.
14 Behold, thou hast driven me this day from the face of the ground, and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a wanderer and fugitive on the earth; and it will come to pass, [that] every one who finds me will slay me.
Leo unanifukuza kutoka nchi, nami nitafichwa mbali na uwepo wako. Nitakuwa mtu wa kutangatanga asiyetulia duniani na yeyote anionaye ataniua.”
15 And Jehovah said to him, Therefore, whoever slayeth Cain, it shall be revenged sevenfold. And Jehovah set a mark on Cain, lest any finding him should smite him.
Lakini Bwana akamwambia, “La sivyo, ikiwa mtu yeyote atamuua Kaini atalipizwa kisasi mara saba zaidi.” Kisha Bwana akamwekea Kaini alama ili mtu yeyote ambaye angemwona asimuue.
16 And Cain went out from the presence of Jehovah, and dwelt in the land of Nod, toward the east of Eden.
Kwa hiyo Kaini akaondoka mbele za Bwana akaenda kuishi katika nchi ya Nodi, iliyoko mashariki ya Edeni.
17 And Cain knew his wife, and she conceived and bore Enoch. And he built a city; and he called the name of the city after the name of his son Enoch.
Kaini akakutana kimwili na mkewe, naye akapata mimba na akamzaa Enoki. Wakati huo Kaini alikuwa anajenga mji, akauita Enoki jina la mtoto wake.
18 And to Enoch was born Irad; and Irad begot Mehujael; and Mehujael begot Methushael; and Methushael begot Lemech.
Enoki akamzaa Iradi, Iradi akamzaa Mehuyaeli, Mehuyaeli akamzaa Methushaeli, na Methushaeli akamzaa Lameki.
19 And Lemech took two wives: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the second, Zillah.
Lameki alioa wanawake wawili, mmoja aliitwa Ada, na mwingine Sila.
20 And Adah bore Jabal: he was the father of those who dwell in tents, and [breed] cattle.
Ada akamzaa Yabali ambaye ni baba wa wale walioishi katika mahema na kufuga wanyama.
21 And his brother's name was Jubal: he was the father of those who handle the harp and pipe.
Kaka yake aliitwa Yubali, aliyekuwa baba wa wote wapigao zeze na filimbi.
22 And Zillah, she also bore Tubal-Cain, the forger of every kind of tool of brass and iron. And the sister of Tubal-Cain was Naamah.
Pia Sila alikuwa na mtoto wa kiume aliyeitwa Tubali-Kaini ambaye alifua vifaa vya aina mbalimbali vya shaba na chuma. Naama alikuwa dada wa Tubali-Kaini.
23 And Lemech said to his wives: Adah and Zillah, hear my voice, Ye wives of Lemech, listen to my speech. For I have slain a man for my wound, and a youth for my bruise.
Lameki akawaambia wake zake, “Ada na Sila nisikilizeni mimi; wake wa Lameki sikieni maneno yangu. Nimemuua mtu kwa kunijeruhi, kijana mdogo kwa kuniumiza.
24 If Cain shall be avenged seven-fold; Lemech seventy and seven fold.
Kama Kaini atalipizwa kisasi mara saba, basi Lameki itakuwa mara sabini na saba.”
25 And Adam knew his wife again, and she bore a son, and called his name Seth: ...For God has appointed me another seed instead of Abel, because Cain has slain him.
Adamu akakutana kimwili na mke wake tena, akamzaa mwana, akamwita Sethi, akisema, “Mungu amenijalia mwana mwingine badala ya Abeli, kwa kuwa Kaini alimuua.”
26 And to Seth, to him also was born a son; and he called his name Enosh. Then people began to call on the name of Jehovah.
Naye Sethi akamzaa mwana, akamwita Enoshi. Wakati huo watu wakaanza kuliitia jina la Bwana.
