Genesis 4
1 Afterward the man knew Heuah his wife, which conceiued and bare Kain, and said, I haue obteined a man by the Lord.
Emesịa, Adam na nwunye ya Iiv dinakọrọ dịka di na nwunye. Iiv tụụrụ ime mụọ nwa nwoke, onye ha gụrụ Ken. Iiv sịrị, “Site nʼinyeaka Onyenwe anyị, amụtala m nwa nwoke!”
2 And againe she brought foorth his brother Habel, and Habel was a keeper of sheepe, and Kain was a tiller of the ground.
Emesịa Iiv mụtara nwanne ya nwoke Ebel. Ebel ghọrọ onye na-azụ igwe atụrụ. Ma Ken ghọrọ onye ọrụ ubi.
3 And in processe of time it came to passe, that Kain brought an oblation vnto the Lord of the fruite of the ground.
Mgbe ụfọdụ oge gasịrị, Ken wetaara Onyenwe anyị ụfọdụ ihe ubi ya dịka onyinye.
4 And Habel also him selfe brought of the first fruites of his sheepe, and of the fat of them, and the Lord had respect vnto Habel, and to his offering,
Ma Ebel, ya onwe ya nyekwara onyinye site nʼigwe ewu na atụrụ ya e bụ ụzọ mụọ, nke mara abụba. Onyenwe anyị nabatara Ebel na onyinye ya,
5 But vnto Kain and to his offering he had no regarde: wherefore Kain was exceeding wroth, and his countenance fell downe.
ma ọ nabataghị Ken na onyinye ya. Nke a wutere Ken, mee ka o wee iwe dị ukwuu. Ihu ya agbarụọ.
6 Then ye Lord said vnto Kain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance cast downe?
Ma Onyenwe anyị jụrụ ya sị, “Gịnị mere i ji ewe iwe? Gịnị mere ihu gị ji gbarụọ?
7 If thou do well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sinne lieth at the doore: also vnto thee his desire shalbe subiect, and thou shalt rule ouer him.
Ọ bụrụ na i mee ihe ziri ezi, agaghị anabata gị? Ọ bụrụkwanụ na ị jụ ime ihe ziri ezi, mmehie nọ nʼọnụ ụzọ na-eche gị ịla gị nʼiyi. Lezie anya hụ na i meriri ya.”
8 Then Kain spake to Habel his brother. And when they were in the fielde, Kain rose vp against Habel his brother, and slewe him.
Ken gwara nwanne ya Ebel sị, “Bịa soro m ka anyị banye ọhịa.” Mgbe ha nọ nʼebe ahụ, Ken jidere nwanne ya gbuo ya.
9 Then the Lord said vnto Kain, Where is Habel thy brother? Who answered, I cannot tell. Am I my brothers keeper?
Emesịa, Onyenwe anyị jụrụ Ken ajụjụ sị, “Ebee ka Ebel nwanne gị nwoke nọ?” Ọ zaghachiri, “Amaghị m. Abụ m onye nche nwanne m?”
10 Againe he said, What hast thou done? the voyce of thy brothers blood cryeth vnto me from the earth.
Ma Onyenwe anyị zara sị ya, “Gịnị ka i mere? Gee ntị, ọbara nwanne gị na-akpọku m site nʼala.
11 Now therefore thou art cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receiue thy brothers blood from thine hand.
Site ugbu a gaa nʼihu ị bụrụla onye a bụrụ ọnụ, na onye e si nʼala chụpụ, ala ahụ meghepụrụ ọnụ ya nabata ọbara nwanne gị, site nʼaka gị.
12 When thou shalt till the grounde, it shall not henceforth yeelde vnto thee her strength: a vagabond and a runnagate shalt thou be in the earth.
Mgbe ị kụrụ ihe ọbụla nʼime ya, ala agaghị enye gị mkpụrụ ya nʼuju. Site ugbu a gaa nʼihu, ị ga-abụ onye na-awagharị awagharị na onye na-abaghị nʼihe nʼụwa.”
13 Then Kain said to the Lord, My punishment is greater, then I can beare.
Ken zara Onyenwe anyị, “Ntaramahụhụ i nyere m dị ukwuu karịa nke m nwere ike ibu.
14 Behold, thou hast cast me out this day from the earth, and from thy face shall I be hid, and shalbe a vagabond, and a runnagate in the earth, and whosoeuer findeth me, shall slay me.
Ugbu a, abụ m onye i si nʼala ubi ya chụpụ. Abụkwa m onye i si nʼihu gị chụpụ. Bido taa aga m abụ onye na-awagharị awagharị nʼime ụwa. Onye ọbụla hụkwara m ga-egbu m.”
15 Then the Lord said vnto him, Doubtlesse whosoeuer slayeth Kain, he shalbe punished seue folde. And the Lord set a marke vpon Kain, lest any man finding him should kill him.
Onyenwe anyị zara sị ya, “O nweghị onye ga-egbu gị, nʼihi na aga m atụkwasịrị onye ọbụla metụrụ gị aka ntaramahụhụ okpukpu asaa karịa nke m nyere gị.” Ya mere, Onyenwe anyị kara Ken akara iji gbochie onye ọbụla hụrụ ya igbu ya.
16 Then Kain went out from the presence of the Lord, and dwelt in the land of Nod towarde the Eastside of Eden.
Ken sitere nʼihu Onyenwe anyị pụọ gaa biri nʼala Nọd, obodo dị nʼakụkụ ọwụwa anyanwụ Iden.
17 Kain also knewe his wife, which conceiued and bare Henoch: and he built a citie, and called the name of the citie by ye name of his sonne, Henoch.
Ken na nwunye ya dinakọrọ, nwunye ya tụụrụ ime mụta nwa nwoke aha ya bụ Enọk. Nʼoge a, Ken nọ na-ewu otu obodo ọ gụrụ Enọk, nke bụ aha nwa ya nwoke.
18 And to Henoch was borne Irad, and Irad begate Mehuiael, and Mehuiael begate Methushael, and Methushael begate Lamech.
Enọk bụ nna Irad, Irad bụ nna Mehujael, Mehujael bụ nna Metusael, Metusael abụrụ nna Lamek.
19 And Lamech tooke him two wiues: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah.
Lamek lụrụ ụmụ nwanyị abụọ. Aha nwunye ya nke mbụ bụ Ada. Aha nke ọzọ bụ Zila.
20 And Adah bare Iabal, who was the father of such as dwell in the tents, and of such as haue cattell.
Ada mụtara Jabal, onye bụ nna ndị na-azụ anụ ụlọ, na ndị na-ebi nʼụlọ ikwu.
21 And his brothers name was Iubal, who was the father of all that play on the harpe and organes.
Aha nwanne ya nwoke bụ Jubal, onye mbụ bụ nna ndị na-akpọ ụbọ akwara, na ndị na-afụ opi.
22 And Zillah also bare Tubal-kain, who wrought cunningly euery craft of brasse and of yron: and the sister of Tubal-kain was Naamah.
Zila, mụtara otu nwa nwoke aha ya bụ Tubal Ken, onye bụ nna ndị niile na-akpụ ihe dị iche iche e ji bronz maọbụ igwe kpụọ. Aha nwanne nwanyị Tubal Ken bụ Naama.
23 Then Lamech saide vnto his wiues Adah and Zillah, Heare my voyce, ye wiues of Lamech: hearken vnto my speach: for I would slay a man in my wound, and a yong man in mine hurt.
Lamek kpọrọ ndị nwunye ya sị ha, “Geenụ m ntị, Ada na Zila, unu ndị nwunye Lamek, nụrụ okwu sị m nʼọnụ. Egbuola m otu nwoke nʼihi na ọ merụrụ m ahụ, otu nwokorobịa nʼihi na ọ mehịara m ahụ.
24 If Kain shalbe auenged seuen folde, truely Lamech, seuentie times seuen folde.
Ọ bụrụ na a ga-abọtara Ken ọbọ ugboro asaa, mgbe ahụ, a ga-abọtara Lamek ọbọ iri ugboro asaa na asaa.”
25 And Adam knewe his wife againe, and she bare a sonne, and she called his name Sheth: for God, saide she, hath appointed me another seede for Habel, because Kain slewe him.
Adam na Iiv dinakọrọ ọzọ, Iiv tụụrụ ime mụta nwa nwoke ọ gụrụ Set. Nʼihi na Iiv kwuru sị, “Chineke enyela m nwa nwoke ọzọ nʼọnọdụ Ebel onye Ken gburu.”
26 And to ye same Sheth also there was borne a sonne, and he called his name Enosh. Then beganne men to call vpon the name of the Lord.
Set mụtara nwa nwoke gụọ ya Enọsh. Nʼoge ahụ ka ụmụ mmadụ bidoro ịkpọku aha Onyenwe anyị.
