< Genesis 4 >

1 And the man knew Eve his wife; and she conceived and bore Cain, and said: 'I have gotten a man with the help of the LORD.'
Nandrèndreke i Haova, vali’e t’i Dame, le nivesatse naho nisamake i Kàine vaho nanao ty hoe: Nahazoako lahilahy t’Iehovà.
2 And again she bore his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.
Nisamake indraike re, le i Hèbele zai’e. Nimpihare añondry t’i Hèbele le nimpiava tane t’i Kàine.
3 And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD.
Ie te indraike, nibanabana ty lengom-boñe’ i taney am’ Iehovà t’i Kàine,
4 And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering;
le ninday ty valohan’ ana’ o hare’eo naho ty sabora’e t’i Hèbele. Aa le nitoliha’ Iehovà t’i Hèbele naho i banabana’ey,
5 but unto Cain and to his offering He had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.
fe tsy hinao’e t’i Kàine naho i enga’ey. Niforoforo ami’ty habose’e amy zao t’i Kàine vaho nilonjom-bintañe
6 And the LORD said unto Cain: 'Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen?
Inoñe ty iviñera’o hoe t’Iehovà amy Kàine vaho ino ty mahalonjets’ azo?
7 If thou doest well, shall it not be lifted up? and if thou doest not well, sin coucheth at the door; and unto thee is its desire, but thou mayest rule over it.'
Tsy hiampokòfañe hao irehe naho toloñe’o ty hiti’e? Aa naho tsy soa ty anoe’o le mangonònoke anjili-dalañe ao ty hakeo milelalela te hahazo azo, f’ie feheo.
8 And Cain spoke unto Abel his brother. And it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.
Nifanaontsy amy Hèbele rahalahi’e t’i Kàine, aa ie nimb’an-teteke mb’ eo, niambotraha’ i Kàine t’i Hèbele naho nañohofa’e loza.
9 And the LORD said unto Cain: 'Where is Abel thy brother?' And he said: 'I know not; am I my brother's keeper?'
Aa le hoe t’Iehovà amy Kàine, Aia t’i Hèbele rahalahi’o? Tsy fantako, hoe re, mpiambeñ’ an-drahalahiko hao iraho?
10 And He said: 'What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto Me from the ground.
Hoe re: Ino o nanoe’oo? Inao! mitoreo amako boak’ an-tane ao ty feon-dion-drahalahi’o;
11 And now cursed art thou from the ground, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand.
le fa nafà’ i taney irehe henane zao, ie nanoka-bava handrambe an-taña’o i lion-drahalahi’oy.
12 When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a fugitive and a wanderer shalt thou be in the earth.'
Aa ie miava tane henane zao le tsy hafoe’e ama’o ty haozara’e; ie ho mpirererere naho mpitralantralañe an-tane atoy.
13 And Cain said unto the LORD: 'My punishment is greater than I can bear.
Hoe t’i Kàine am’ Iehovà, Tsy leoko babeñe o fandilovañe ahio;
14 Behold, Thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the land; and from Thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a wanderer in the earth; and it will come to pass, that whosoever findeth me will slay me.'
anindroany irehe nanao soik’ ahy amo tarehe’ ty tane toio, naho hampietaheñe amy lahara’oy iraho, le ho mpiriorio naho mpirererere an-tane atoy, vaho songa hañoho-doza amako ze mifanojeha amako.
15 And the LORD said unto him: 'Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold.' And the LORD set a sign for Cain, lest any finding him should smite him.
Le hoe t’Iehovà ama’e, Aiy! ho valeñe im-pito ze mamono i Kàine; vaho namiloñe i Kàine t’i Andrianañahare tsy ho vonoe’ ze hifanalaka ama’e.
16 And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.
Aa le nienga boak’ añatrefa’ Iehovà t’i Kàine, noly an-tane Rererere, atiñana’ i Edene añe.
17 And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bore Enoch; and he builded a city, and called the name of the city after the name of his son Enoch.
Nifohi’ i Kàine ty vali’e, le niareñe, nisamake i Kanòke; ie nañoren-drova vaho nitokave’e ami’ty añara’ i Kanoke ana’e.
18 And unto Enoch was born Irad; and Irad begot Mehujael; and Mehujael begot Methushael; and Methushael begot Lamech.
Nisamake Irade t’i Kanoke; le nisamak’ i Mehojaèle t’Irade le nisamak’ i Metosaele t’i Mehojaèle vaho nisamake i Lemeke t’i Metosaele.
19 And Lamech took unto him two wives; the name of one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah.
Nampirafe roe t’i Lemeke; le natao ty hoe Adae ty raike naho i Zilae ty raike.
20 And Adah bore Jabal; he was the father of such as dwell in tents and have cattle.
Nisamake Iabale t’i Adae; ie ty raem-pimoneñe an-kibohotse naho mpihare.
21 And his brother's name was Jubal; he was the father of all such as handle the harp and pipe.
Natao Iobale ty rahalahi’e, ie ty rae’ o mpititike kararàke naho solio.
22 And Zillah, she also bore Tubal-cain, the forger of every cutting instrument of brass and iron; and the sister of Tubal-cain was Naamah.
Nisamake i Tobale-kaine t’i Zilae, ie ty nitsene ze hene haraotse torisìke naho viñe. I Naamae ty rahavave’ i Tobale-kaine.
23 And Lamech said unto his wives: Adah and Zillah, hear my voice; ye wives of Lamech, hearken unto my speech; for I have slain a man for wounding me, and a young man for bruising me;
Hoe t’i Lemek’ amo vali’eo: Tsanoño ty feoko ry Adae naho Zilae; Ry vali’ i Lemekeo: mitsendreña o entakoo: Vinonoko t’indaty nandratse ahy, naho ty ajalahy nandafa ahiko.
24 If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, truly Lamech seventy and sevenfold.
Aa naho i Kàine ro valeañe im-pito, Le toe impitompolo fito amby ka t’i Lemeke.
25 And Adam knew his wife again; and she bore a son, and called his name Seth: 'for God hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel; for Cain slew him.'
Nifohi’ i Dame indraike i vali’ey, le nisamak’ ana-dahy vaho natao’e Sete ty añara’e, fa hoe i rakembay: Fa nanendre anake ho ahy t’i Andrianañahare handimbe i Hèbele vinono’ i Kàine.
26 And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enosh; then began men to call upon the name of the LORD.
Nahatoly anake ka t’i Sete, le natao’e Enose ty añara’e. Nifototse amy zay te nikanjy ty tahina’ Iehovà ondatio. izay ty takelam-piantoño’ i Dame.
