< 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.”
Lao esa, Adam sungguꞌ no sao na Hawa, de ana nairu. Ana bꞌonggi ana touꞌ esa, ma nae, “Ana touꞌ esa dea nema ena, huu LAMATUALAIN tulu-fali au.” De babꞌae e, Kaen (sosoa na ‘dea nema’).
2 Later she gave birth to his brother Abel. Abel became a shepherd, while Cain was a crop farmer.
Basa ma, Hawa bꞌonggi seluꞌ ana touꞌ esa, de babꞌae e Habel. Ruꞌa se raꞌamoko ma, Habel dadꞌi manatadꞌa banda, ma Kaen tao osi.
3 Sometime later Cain brought some of the produce he'd grown as an offering to the Lord.
Lao esa, Kaen nendi osi na mbule-bꞌoa na ruma, fee LAMATUALAIN.
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,
Habel o nendi bibꞌi lombo nara, ana ulu nara. Ana mbau-hala se, ma nendi sisi maloleꞌ neu Lamatualain. Ma LAMATUALAIN rala Na namahoꞌo, huu Habel, ma tutunu-hohotu na.
5 but he wasn't pleased with Cain and his offering, which made Cain very angry and he frowned in annoyance.
Te Ana nda hii Kaen tutunu-hohotu na sa. Naa de, Kaen namanasa, de mata na maꞌalasi.
6 The Lord said to Cain, “Why are you so angry? Why do you look so annoyed?
Boe ma LAMATUALAIN olaꞌ no Kaen nae, “Heh, Kaen! Taꞌo bee de mumunasa, losa mata ma maꞌalasi taꞌo naa?
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.”
Mete ma ho tao maloleꞌ, naa, Au simbo nggo no maloleꞌ boe. Te besa-bꞌesa! Mete ma ho tao deꞌulakaꞌ, dei fo deꞌulakaꞌ a naa baliꞌ nggo, onaꞌ meo obꞌo lafo. Dadꞌi mete ma hii mae tao deꞌulakaꞌ, malole lenaꞌ nggari hendi leo!”
8 Later, when Cain was talking with his brother Abel they went out into the fields where Cain attacked his brother and killed him.
Lao esa, Kaen kokoe Habel nae, “Odꞌiꞌ! Uma fo teu lao-laoꞌ sia osi.” Ara losa naa, aiboiꞌ ma, Kaen momoko nisa odꞌi na.
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?”
Basa ma LAMATUALAIN natane Kaen nae, “Heh, Kaen! Odꞌi ma saa bee?” Nataa nae, “Au nda bubꞌuluꞌ saꞌ! Mae au mana toꞌu ei na, do?”
10 “What have you done?” the Lord asked. “Your brother's blood is crying out to me from the ground.
Te Lamatualain olaꞌ nae, “Taꞌo bee de ho tao deꞌulaka taꞌo naa? Afiꞌ mae ho bisa funi odꞌi ma raa na sia rae a, te Au ita basa ena!
11 Consequently you are more cursed than the ground because you soaked it with your brother's blood.
Ia naa huku-dokiꞌ sae nala nggo. Leleꞌ misa odꞌi ma, rae a musi nala raa na. De ia naa, rae a nda fee masodꞌaꞌ neu nggo sa ena.
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.”
Mete ma ho tao osi, rae a nda fee mbule-bꞌoaꞌ saa-saa saꞌ boe. Mia oras ia, ho koo-kale muu-uma onaꞌ atahori mana toꞌa-taaꞌ sangga masodꞌaꞌ sia raefafoꞌ ia.”
13 “My punishment is more than I can take,” Cain replied.
Te Kaen labꞌan LAMATUALAIN nae, “Awii! Lamatualain, e! Taꞌo bee de huku-doki au bera na seli, losa au nda lemba beꞌi sa!
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!”
Huu Lamatualain oi hendi au sia mamanaꞌ ia, dei fo au uꞌudꞌoodꞌooꞌ mia Lamatualain. Au koo-kale sudꞌiꞌ a bee uu. Ma sudꞌiꞌ a se randaa ro au, naa, tati risa au.”
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.
Te LAMATUALAIN nataa nae, “Nda taꞌo naa sa! Seka tati nisa nggo, naa, Au huku-doki e bera na lenaꞌ lao hitu!” Dei de, LAMATUALAIN tao tatandaꞌ neu Kaen, fo atahori rahine, rae nda bole tao risa e sa.
16 So Cain left the Lord's presence and went to live in a land called Nod, east of Eden.
Basa ma, Kaen lao hela mamanaꞌ naa, fo neu naꞌadꞌodꞌoꞌ no LAMATUALAIN. Ana lao losa mamanaꞌ esa sia osi Eden seriꞌ rulu, nara na Nod, sosoa na nae, ‘koo-kale’. Boe ma, ana leo sia naa.
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.
Basa ma, Kaen sao, de sao na nairu. Ana bꞌonggi ana touꞌ esa, de babꞌae e, Henok. Kaen o nafefela kamboꞌ esa, de babꞌae kamboꞌ a Henok, tungga ana na nara na.
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.
Henok ana na, Irad. Ma Irad ana na, Mehuyael. Mehuyael ana na, Metusael. Ma Metusael ana na, Lamek.
19 Lamech married two women. The first was named Adah, and the second was named Zillah.
Lamek sao na rua. Esa naran Ada, ma esa naran Sila.
20 Adah had a son named Jabal. He was the father of those who live in tents and have livestock.
Ada ana ulu na, naran Yabal. Yabal tititi-nonosi nara, dadꞌi manatadꞌa. Ara rasodꞌa lali-laliꞌ, ma leo sia lalaat.
21 He had a brother named Jubal; he was the father of all those who play stringed and wind instruments.
Yabal odꞌi na, naran Yubal. Yubal tititi-nonosi nara, mana maꞌaminaꞌ lii-liiꞌ mana pake sanar onaꞌ a sasando, ma fuu onaꞌ suling.
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.
Ma Lamek sao na Sila bꞌonggi Tubal Kaen. Tubal Kaen tititi-nonosi nara mana tutu besi. Ara tao sudꞌiꞌ a saa mataꞌ-mataꞌ mia besi ma riti. Tubal Kaen feto na, Naꞌama.
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.
Lao esa, Lamek nananaru ao na mia sao nara ruꞌa se mata nara nae, “Rena, e! Faꞌ ra monetenaꞌ esa tutu au, te au tao isa e.
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.”
Atahori mana tao nisa Kaen, hambu huku-dokiꞌ lao hitu. Te mete ma hambu mana nae nambedꞌaꞌ ralaꞌ no au, ana hambu huku-dokiꞌ lao hitu nulu hitu.”
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.”
Adam sao na Hawa bonggi ana touꞌ esa fai. De ara babꞌae e, Set, huu Hawa nae, “Lamatualain fee anaꞌ ia nggati Habel, fo Kaen tao nisaꞌ a.”
26 Later Seth had a son named Enosh, because at that time people began to worship the Lord by name.
Dꞌoo-dꞌoo ma, Set hambu ana touꞌ esa, naran Enos. Leleꞌ naa, atahori ra feꞌe rahine LAMATUALAIN ena, ma beꞌutee neu E.
