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.
Addaam niitii isaa Hewaan bira gaʼe; isheenis ulfooftee Qaayinin deesse. Isheenis, “Ani gargaarsa Waaqayyootiin ilma tokko argadheera” jette.
2 And againe she brought foorth his brother Habel, and Habel was a keeper of sheepe, and Kain was a tiller of the ground.
Itti aansitees obboleessa isaa Abeelin deesse. Abeel tiksee hoolotaa ture; Qaayin immoo lafa qota ture.
3 And in processe of time it came to passe, that Kain brought an oblation vnto the Lord of the fruite of the ground.
Yeroo muraasa keessatti Qaayin waan lafti baafteef keessaa Waaqayyoof aarsaa dhiʼeesse.
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,
Abeel immoo hangafoota hoolota isaa keessaa cooma cooma isaa dhiʼeesse. Waaqayyo faara tolaadhaan gara Abeelii fi gara aarsaa inni dhiʼeesse sanaa ilaale.
5 But vnto Kain and to his offering he had no regarde: wherefore Kain was exceeding wroth, and his countenance fell downe.
Gara Qaayinii fi gara aarsaa isaa garuu hin ilaalle. Kanaafuu Qaayin akka malee aaree fuulli isaa gurraachaʼe.
6 Then ye Lord said vnto Kain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance cast downe?
Waaqayyos Qaayiniin akkana jedhe; “Ati maaliif aarte? Fuulli kees maaliif gurraachaʼe?
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.
Utuu waan qajeelaa hojjettee silaa ati fudhatama argatta mitii? Garuu yoo waan qajeelaa hojjechuu baatte cubbuun balbala kee duratti riphee si eeggata; si qabachuu barbaadas; ati garuu isa moʼachuu qabda.”
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.
Qaayinis ergasii obboleessa isaa Abeeliin, “Kottu mee dirreetti baanaa” jedhe. Utuma dirree irra jiranuus Qaayin obboleessa isaa Abeelitti kaʼee isa ajjeese.
9 Then the Lord said vnto Kain, Where is Habel thy brother? Who answered, I cannot tell. Am I my brothers keeper?
Waaqayyos, “Obboleessi kee Abeel eessa jira?” jedhee Qaayin gaafate. Qaayin immoo, “Ani hin beeku; ani eegduu obboleessa kootiitii?” jedhee deebise.
10 Againe he said, What hast thou done? the voyce of thy brothers blood cryeth vnto me from the earth.
Waaqayyo akkana jedhe; “Ati maal goote? Dhiigni obboleessa keetii lafaa natti iyyaa jira.
11 Now therefore thou art cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receiue thy brothers blood from thine hand.
Ati amma abaaramaa dha; lafa dhiiga obboleessa keetii si harkaa fudhachuuf afaan banatte irraas ni ariʼamta.
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.
Yeroo ati lafa qotattutti lafti deebitee midhaan siif hin kennitu. Ati lafa irratti joortuu boqonnaa hin qabne taata.”
13 Then Kain said to the Lord, My punishment is greater, then I can beare.
Qaayin immoo Waaqayyoon akkana jedhe; “Adabamuun koo waan ani baachuu dandaʼuun ol.
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.
Kunoo ati harʼa biyyaa na ariʼaa jirta; anis fuula kee duraa nan dhokadha; lafa irratti joortuu boqonnaa hin qabne nan taʼa; namni na argatu kam iyyuus na ajjeesa.”
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.
Waaqayyo garuu, “Akkana miti; namni Qaayinin ajjeesu kam iyyuu dachaa torba haaloo baafama” jedheen. Waaqayyos akka namni isa argatu tokko iyyuu isa hin ajjeefneef Qaayinitti mallattoo godhe.
16 Then Kain went out from the presence of the Lord, and dwelt in the land of Nod towarde the Eastside of Eden.
Ergasiis Qaayin fuula Waaqayyoo duraa baʼee Eeden irraa karaa baʼa biiftuutiin biyya Noodi keessa jiraate.
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.
Qaayin niitii isaa beeke; isheenis ulfooftee Henookin deesse. Qaayinis magaalaa tokko hundeesse; magaalaa sanas Henook jedhee maqaa ilma isaatiin waame.
18 And to Henoch was borne Irad, and Irad begate Mehuiael, and Mehuiael begate Methushael, and Methushael begate Lamech.
Henook Iiraadin dhalche; Iiraadi Meʼeelin dhalche; Mehuuyaaʼeel Matusaaʼelin dhalche; Matusaaʼel immoo Laamehin dhalche.
19 And Lamech tooke him two wiues: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah.
Laameh dubartoota maqaan isaanii Aadaa fi Xiilaa jedhamu lamaan fuudhe.
20 And Adah bare Iabal, who was the father of such as dwell in the tents, and of such as haue cattell.
Aadaan Yaabaalin deesse; Yaabaalis abbaa warra dunkaana keessa jiraatanii horii horsiisanii ture.
21 And his brothers name was Iubal, who was the father of all that play on the harpe and organes.
Maqaan obboleessa isaa Yuubaal ture; inni immoo abbaa warra kiraara rukutaniitii fi ulullee afuufanii ti.
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.
Xiilaan immoo ilma Tuubaal Qaayin jedhamu kan naasii fi sibiila tumee meeshaawwan garaa garaa hojjetu deesse; obboleettiin Tuubaal Qaayinis Naʼamaa turte.
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.
Laameh niitota isaatiin akkana jedhe; “Aadaa fi Xiilaan na dhagaʼaa; yaa niitota Laamehii dubbii koo dhaggeeffadhaa. Nama tokko waan inni na madeesseef, dargaggeessa tokko waan inni na miidheef ani isa ajjeeseera.
24 If Kain shalbe auenged seuen folde, truely Lamech, seuentie times seuen folde.
Yoo Qaayiniif dachaa torba haaloon baafame Laamehiif immoo dachaa torbaatamii torba ni baafama.”
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.
Addaam ammas niitii isaa beeke; isheenis ilma deesse; maqaa isaas, “Erga Qaayin Abeelin ajjeesee as Waaqni iddoo Abeel daaʼima biraa naa kenneera” jettee “Seeti” jettee moggaafte.
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.
Seetiifis ilmi ni dhalate; innis Enoosh jedhee isa moggaase. Bara sana namoonni maqaa Waaqayyoo waammachuu jalqaban.
