Genesis 4
1 And Adam knew Eve his wife: who conceived and brought forth Cain, saying: I have gotten a man through God.
Adamu n’amanya Kaawa, mukazi we, n’aba olubuto n’azaala Kayini n’agamba nti, “Mukama annyambye nzadde omuntu.”
2 And again she brought forth his brother Abel. And Abel was a shepherd, and Cain a husbandman.
Oluvannyuma n’azaala muganda we Aberi. Aberi n’aba mulunzi, ye Kayini n’abeera mulimi.
3 And it came to pass after many days, that Cain offered, of the fruits of the earth, gifts to the Lord.
Awo ennaku bwe zaayitawo Kayini n’alyoka aleeta ebibala by’ebimera ebyava mu ttaka okubiwaayo eri Mukama.
4 Abel also offered of the firstlings of his flock, and of their fat: and the Lord had respect to Abel, and to his offerings.
Aberi naye n’aleeta ku baana b’endiga ze ababereberye n’amasavu gaazo. Mukama n’asiima Aberi n’ekiweebwayo kye.
5 But to Cain and his offerings he had no respect: and Cain was exceedingly angry, and his countenance fell.
Naye teyasiima Kayini wadde ekiweebwayo kye. Awo Kayini n’asunguwala nnyo, n’endabika y’amaaso ge n’ewaanyisibwa.
6 And the Lord said to him: Why art thou angry? and why is thy countenance fallen?
Mukama n’abuuza Kayini nti, “Osunguwalidde ki? Era n’endabika y’amaaso go lwaki ewaanyisiddwa?
7 If thou do well, shalt thou not receive? but if ill, shall not sin forthwith be present at the door? but the lust thereof shall be under thee, and thou shalt have dominion over it.
Bw’onookolanga obulungi tokkirizibwenga? Naye bw’otokole bulungi ekibi, kiri kumpi naawe, nga kikulindiridde, naye oteekwa okukiwangula.”
8 And Cain said to Abel his brother: Let us go forth abroad. And when they were in the field, Cain rose up against his brother Abel, and slew him.
Kayini n’agamba Aberi muganda we nti, “Tulageko mu nnimiro.” Bwe baali nga bali mu nnimiro Kayini n’agolokokera ku muganda we Aberi, n’amutta.
9 And the Lord said to Cain: Where is thy brother Abel? And he answered, I know not: am I my brother’s keeper?
Awo Mukama n’abuuza Kayini nti, “Muganda wo Aberi ali ludda wa?” N’amuddamu nti, “Ssimanyi; nze mukuumi wa muganda wange?”
10 And he said to him: What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother’s blood crieth to me from the earth.
Mukama n’amugamba nti, “Okoze ki? Eddoboozi ly’omusaayi gwa muganda wo oguyiyiddwa ku ttaka linkaabirira.
11 Now, therefore, cursed shalt thou be upon the earth, which hath opened her mouth and received the blood of thy brother at thy hand.
Ne kaakano okolimiddwa, era ettaka lyasamye okumira omusaayi gwa muganda wo gwe wasse.
12 When thou shalt till it, it shall not yield to thee its fruit: a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be upon the earth.
Bw’onoolimanga ettaka teriikuwenga bibala byalyo; onoobanga momboze ku nsi.”
13 And Cain said to the Lord: My iniquity is greater than that I may deserve pardon.
Kayini n’agamba Mukama nti, “Ekibonerezo kyange kinzitooweredde sikisobola.
14 Behold thou dost cast me out this day from the face of the earth, and I shall be hidden from thy face, and I shall be a vagabond and a fugitive on the earth: every one, therefore, that findeth me, shall kill me.
Laba, ongobye okuva ku nsi ne mu maaso go; era nnaabanga momboze ne buli anandaba ananzita.”
15 And the Lord said to him: No, it shall not be so: but whosoever shall kill Cain, shall be punished sevenfold. And the Lord set a mark upon Cain, that whosoever found him should not kill him.
Awo Mukama n’amugamba nti, “Nedda si bwe kiri. Buli alitta Kayini ndimuwalana emirundi musanvu.” Awo Mukama n’ateeka akabonero ku Kayini, buli amulaba aleme okumutta.
16 And Cain went out from the face of the Lord, and dwelt as a fugitive on the earth, at the east side of Eden.
Kayini n’alyoka ava mu maaso ga Mukama, n’abeera mu nsi ya Enodi ku luuyi olw’ebuvanjuba olwa Adeni.
17 And Cain knew his wife, and she conceived, and brought forth Henoch: and he built a city, and called the name thereof by the name of his son Henoch.
Kayini n’amanya mukazi we, n’aba olubuto n’azaala Enoka. Kayini n’azimba ekibuga n’akituuma erinnya lyerimu erya mutabani we Enoka.
18 And Henoch begot Irad, and Irad begot Maviael, and Maviael begot Mathusael, and Mathusael begot Lamech:
Enoka n’azaalirwa Iradi ne Iradi n’azaala Mekujeeri, ne Mekujeeri n’azaala Mesuseera, ne Mesuseera n’azaala Lameka.
19 Who took two wives: the name of the one was Ada, and the name of the other Sella.
Lameka n’awasa abakazi babiri: omu yali Ada n’omulala nga ye Zira.
20 And Ada brought forth Jabel: who was the father of such as dwell in tents, and of herdsmen.
Ada n’azaala Yabali. Ono ye yali kitaawe w’abo ababeera mu weema nga balunda.
21 And his brother’s name was Jubal; he was the father of them that play upon the harp and the organs.
Muganda we Yubali, ye yazaala abo abakuba ennanga n’okufuuwa omulere.
22 Sella also brought forth Tubalcain, who was a hammerer and artificer in every work of brass and iron. And the sister of Tubalcain was Noema.
Zira n’azaala Tubalukayini omuweesi w’eby’ekikomo n’eby’ekyuma. Ne mwannyina wa Tubalukayini nga ye Naama.
23 And Lamech said to his wives Ada and Sella: Hear my voice, ye wives of Lamech, hearken to my speech: for I have slain a man to the wounding of myself, and a stripling to my own bruising.
Lameka n’agamba bakazi be nti, “Ada ne Zira, muwulire eddoboozi lyange; mwe bakazi ba Lameka, muwulirize kye ŋŋamba; nzise omusajja olw’okunfumita, nga muvubuka, olw’okunkuba.
24 Sevenfold vengeance shall be taken for Cain: but for Lamech seventy times sevenfold.
Obanga Kayini yawalanirwa emirundi musanvu, mazima Lameka wa kuwalanirwa emirundi nsanvu mu musanvu.”
25 Adam also knew his wife again: and she brought forth a son, and called his name Seth, saying: God hath given me another seed, for Abel whom Cain slew.
Awo Adamu n’amanya mukazi we, n’azaala omwana wabulenzi n’amutuuma Seezi, kubanga yayogera nti, “Katonda ampadde omwana omulala mu kifo kya Aberi, Kayini gwe yatta.”
26 But to Seth also was born a son, whom he called Enos; this man began to call upon the name of the Lord.
Seezi n’azaala omwana owoobulenzi n’amutuuma Enosi. Mu kiseera ekyo abantu ne batandika okukoowoola erinnya lya Mukama.
