< Genesis 4 >

1 Adam slept with his wife Eve and she became pregnant. She gave birth to Cain, and said, “With the Lord's help I have made a man.”
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 Later she gave birth to his brother Abel. Abel became a shepherd, while Cain was a crop 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 Sometime later Cain brought some of the produce he'd grown as an offering to the Lord.
Magokna Keni'a Ra Anumzamofo ofa hunteku hoza'afinti ne'za erino e'ne.
4 Abel also brought an offering: the firstborn lambs of his flock, selecting the very best parts to offer. The Lord was pleased with Abel and his offering,
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 but he wasn't pleased with Cain and his offering, which made Cain very angry and he frowned in annoyance.
Hianagi Keni'ma ofa hunte'neaza keteno, Anumzamo'a antahi musena huontegeno, Kenina tusi asi vazigeno avugosa rugriri'ne.
6 The Lord said to Cain, “Why are you so angry? Why do you look so annoyed?
Ana higeno Ra Anumzamo'a negeno Keninkura amanage hu'ne, Nahigenka krimpagna nehunka kavugosa runegaririne?
7 If you were doing what's right, then you'd be looking happy. But if you don't do what's right, then sin will be like animal crouching outside your home, ready to pounce on you. It wants to have you, but you must be the one in control.”
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 Later, when Cain was talking with his brother Abel they went out into the fields where Cain attacked his brother and killed him.
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 “Where is your brother Abel?” the Lord asked Cain. “How should I know?” he replied. “Am I supposed to be my brother's care-giver?”
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 “What have you done?” the Lord asked. “Your brother's blood is crying out to me from the ground.
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 Consequently you are more cursed than the ground because you soaked it with your brother's blood.
Hagi nagna kamofoma ahenka eri taginana koramo'a, mopafi tagiramigeno mopamo ne'negu, ana mopa kazusi huntoankino ne'zana forera osugahie.
12 When you cultivate the ground, it won't produce crops for you. You'll be always on the run, wandering all over the earth.”
Hagi mopafima hozama erinka antesnana hozamo'a, hikazake huno nena ahenonte'na, nonka'a omanena kanke kanke hunka ama mopafina vano hugahane.
13 “My punishment is more than I can take,” Cain replied.
Keni'a amanage huno Ra Anumzamofo kenona hu'ne, Nagri'ma hunantana kemo'a tusi'a kna navesie!
14 “Look! You're driving me away right now—cursing the ground and banishing me from your presence. I'm going to have to hide and always be on the run, left to wander all over the earth. Anyone who finds me is going to 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 But the Lord replied, “No, Cain. Anyone who kills you will be punished seven times over.” The Lord placed a mark on Cain so that no one who came across him would kill him.
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 So Cain left the Lord's presence and went to live in a land called Nod, east of Eden.
Ana higeno Ra Anumzamofo avugatira Keni'a atreno Ideni hozamofo zage hanati kaziga vuno, Nodi mopare umani'ne.
17 Cain slept with his wife and she became pregnant. She had a son named Enoch. At that time Cain was building a town, so he named it after 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 Enoch had a son named Irad. Irad was the father of Mehujael, Mehujael was the father of Methushael, and Methushael was the father of 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 married two women. The first was named Adah, and the second was named Zillah.
Hagi Lemeki'a tare atre zanante'ne, mago'mofo agi'a Ada'e, mago a'mofo agi'a Zila'e.
20 Adah had a son named Jabal. He was the father of those who live in tents and have livestock.
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 He had a brother named Jubal; he was the father of all those who play stringed and wind instruments.
Hagi ngana'amofo agi'a Jubali'e. Jubali'a ese'ma agafa huno nofite zavena (harp) nehaza naga'mokizmi nezamageho'e.
22 Zillah also had a son. He was named Tubal-cain and he was a blacksmith, making different kinds of tools out of bronze and iron. Tubal-cain's sister was named Naamah.
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 At one time Lamech told his wives, “Adah and Zillah, listen to me. You wives of Lamech, pay attention to what I have to say. I killed a man because he wounded me; I killed a young man because he injured me.
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 If the sentence for killing Cain was to be punished seven times over, then if someone kills me, Lamech, the punishment should be 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 slept with his wife again, and she had a son and named him Seth, explaining that, “God has given me another child to replace Abel, the one 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 Later Seth had a son named Enosh, because at that time people began to worship the Lord by name.
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.
