Genesis 4
1 And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bore Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD.
Te phoeiah Adam loh a yuu Eve te a ming. A yuu khaw vawn tih Kain te a cun hatah, “BOEIPA taengkah hlang ka dang coeng,” a ti.
2 And she again bore his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.
Te phoeiah Kain kah a mana Abel te pahoi a cun. Te vaengah Abel tah boiva aka dawn la om tih Kain tah lo tawn la om.
3 And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering to the LORD.
A bawtnah khohnin ah BOEIPA taengah khosaa la diklai kah a thaih te Kain loh a khuen.
4 And Abel, he also brought of the firstborn of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect to Abel and to his offering:
Tedae Abel long tah amah kah boiva cacuek neh aka tha te a Khuen van. Te dongah BOEIPA loh Abel so neh anih kah khosaa te a uem pah.
5 But to Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.
Tedae Kain neh anih kah khosaa te a uem pah pawt dongah Kain te mat sai tih a maelhmai khaw tal.
6 And the LORD said to Cain, Why are you wroth? and why is your countenance fallen?
Te dongah BOEIPA loh Kain taengah “Nang te balae tih na sai? Te phoeiah balae tih na maelhmai a tal?
7 If you do well, shall you not be accepted? and if you do not well, sin lies at the door. And to you shall be his desire, and you shall rule over him.
Doe hamla a then mai moenih a? Na then pawt dongah ni thohka ah tholhnah a kol mai. Tedae a lungdueknah te nang ham om mai cakhaw namah loh a soah taemrhai saw,” a ti nah.
8 And Cain talked with 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.
Tedae Kain loh a mana Abel te kohong la a khue tih a om rhoi vaengah Kain loh a mana Abel te a hnueih tih a ngawn.
9 And the LORD said to Cain, Where is Abel your brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother’s keeper?
Te dongah BOEIPA loh Kain taengah, “Na mana Abel ta?” a ti nah hatah Kain loh, “Ka ming pawh. Kai loh ka mana ka dawn a?” a ti nah.
10 And he said, What have you done? the voice of your brother’s blood cries to me from the ground.
Te vaengah BOEIPA loh, “Balae na saii? na mana thii ol loh diklai lamkah kai taengla ha pang coeng.
11 And now are you cursed from the earth, which has opened her mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand;
Te dongah nang kut lamkah na manuca kah thii aka duen ham a ka aka ang diklai lamloh nang tah thae m'phoei thil coeng.
12 When you till the ground, it shall not from now on yield to you her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shall you be in the earth.
Khohmuen te na tawn vaengah nang taengah a thadueng paek ham koei mahpawh. Diklai ah aka hinghuen tih aka rhaehba la na om ni,” a ti nah.
13 And Cain said to the LORD, My punishment is greater than I can bear.
Tedae Kain loh BOEIPA taengah, “Kai kathaesainah te phueih ham lakah len aih.
14 Behold, you have driven me out this day from the face of the earth; and from your face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass, that every one that finds me shall slay me.
Tihnin ah kai he diklai hman neh namah hmuh lamkah nan haek dongah ka thuh uh ni. Tedae aka poeng aka doe ka om phoeiah diklai ah ka pamdah cakhaw kai aka hmu boeih loh kai n'ngawn pawn ni he,” a ti nah.
15 And the LORD said to him, Therefore whoever slays Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the LORD set a mark on Cain, lest any finding him should kill him.
Tedae BOEIPA loh anih taengah, “Kain aka ngawn boeih te tah voei rhih due phulo saeh,” a ti nah. Te dongah anih aka hmu boeih loh anih te ngawn pawt ham Kain soah BOEIPA loh miknoek a paek.
16 And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and dwelled in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.
Te dongah Kain tah BOEIPA mikhmuh lamkah cet tih Eden kah khothoeng ben Nodi khohmuen ah kho a sak.
17 And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bore Enoch: and he built a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch.
Te vaengah Kain loh a yuu te a ming. Te dongah pumrhih tih Enok te a cun. Te vaengkah khopuei a thoong tih khopuei ming te a capa ming Enok kho la a khue.
18 And to Enoch was born Irad: and Irad begat Mehujael: and Mehujael begat Methusael: and Methusael begat Lamech.
Te phoeiah Enok loh Irad a sak tih Irad loh Mahujael a sak. Mahujael loh Methusael te a sak. Methusael loh Lamek te a sak.
19 And Lamech took to him two wives: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah.
Te phoeiah Lamek loh amah ham yuu panit a loh tih pakhat kah a ming tah Adah tih a pabae kah a ming tah Zillah ni.
20 And Adah bore Jabal: he was the father of such as dwell in tents, and of such as have cattle.
Te vaengah Adah loh Jabal te a cun tih anih te dap ah kho aka sa tih boiva aka toi rhoek kah pa la om.
21 And his brother’s name was Jubal: he was the father of all such as handle the harp and organ.
Tedae a mana, a ming tah Jubal tih anih te rhotoeng neh phavi aka tum boeih kah a napa la om.
22 And Zillah, she also bore Tubalcain, an instructor of every artificer in brass and iron: and the sister of Tubalcain was Naamah.
Zillah long khaw rhohum neh thi tubael boeih aka hnaa Tubalkain neh Tubalkain kah a ngannu Naamah te khaw a cun.
23 And Lamech said to his wives, Adah and Zillah, Hear my voice; you wives of Lamech, listen to my speech: for I have slain a man to my wounding, and a young man to my hurt.
Te vaengah Lamek loh a yuu rhoi Adah neh Zillah taengah, “Lamek yuu rhoi, kai ol he ya rhoi lamtah kai kah olthui he hnakaeng rhoi lah. Kai tloh kong neh ka boengha kongah camoe, hlang pakhat ka ngawn coeng.
24 If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, truly Lamech seventy and sevenfold.
Kain ham voei rhih la phu a loh atah Lamek ham khaw voei sawmrhih neh parhih la phuloh pah saeh,” a ti nah.
25 And Adam knew his wife again; and she bore a son, and called his name Seth: For God, said she, has appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew.
Te phoeiah Adam loh a yuu te koep a ming tih, capa a cun hatah Abel te Kain loh a ngawn coeng dae a yueng la Pathen loh tiingan a tloe kai ham a khueh coeng' a ti dongah anih ming te Seth la a khue.
26 And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enos: then began men to call on the name of the LORD.
Te phoeiah Seth long khaw capa a sak tih a ming te Enosh a sui. Te vaengah Yahweh ming te phoei ham a tong.
