Genesis 4
1 And Adam had sexual contact with Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have got a man from the LORD.
Adamu asangisaki nzoto na mwasi na ye Eva; mpe Eva akomaki na zemi, bongo abotaki Kayina. Alobaki: « Nasali moto na lisungi ya Yawe. »
2 And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.
Sima na yango, abotaki lisusu Abele, ndeko ya Kayina. Abele akomaki kobokola bibwele mpe Kayina akomaki kosala bilanga.
3 And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD.
Sima na mwa tango, Kayina amemaki mbuma ya mabele mpo na kobonzela Yawe.
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:
Abele, ye mpe amemaki bibwele oyo ebotamaki liboso kati na etonga na ye mpe biteni oyo eleki mafuta. Yawe asepelaki na Abele mpe na makabo na ye,
5 But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very angry, and his countenance fell.
kasi asepelaki te na Kayina mpe na makabo na ye. Bongo, Kayina asilikaki makasi mpe elongi na ye ekomaki mawa-mawa.
6 And the LORD said unto Cain, Why are you angry? and why is your countenance fallen?
Yawe alobaki na Kayina: — Mpo na nini osiliki? Mpo na nini elongi na yo ekomi mawa-mawa?
7 If you do well, shall you not be accepted? and if you do not well, sin lies at the door. And unto you shall be his desire, and you shall rule over him.
Boni, soki osali malamu, bakondima yo te? Kasi soki osali malamu te, lisumu elali penza na ekuke na yo, mpe posa na yango ezali kobenda yo makasi; kasi yo, longa yango.
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.
Kayina alobaki na Abele, ndeko na ye. Wana bazalaki kati na bilanga, Kayina akangaki Abele, ndeko na ye, mpe abomaki ye.
9 And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel your brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother's keeper?
Yawe atunaki Kayina: — Wapi ndeko na yo Abele? Kayina azongisaki: — Nayebi te. Boni, ngai nazali mokengeli ya ndeko na ngai?
10 And he said, What have you done? the voice of your brother's blood cries unto me from the ground.
Nzambe alobaki: — Osali nini? Likambo nini penza osali? Makila ya ndeko na yo ezali koganga wuta na mabele kino epai na Ngai.
11 And now are you cursed from the earth, which has opened her mouth to receive your brother's blood from your hand;
Sik’oyo, olakelami mabe mpe obwakami mosika ya mabele oyo efungolaki monoko na yango mpo na komela makila ya ndeko na yo, oyo maboko na yo esopaki.
12 When you till the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto you her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shall you be in the earth.
Tango okobalola mabele, ekobotela yo mbuma te. Okozala koyengayenga mpe kotelengana na mokili.
13 And Cain said unto the LORD, My punishment is greater than I can bear.
Kayina alobaki na Yawe: — Etumbu na ngai eleki pasi mpo na komema!
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.
Tala, obwaki ngai lelo mosika ya mabele; nasengeli sik’oyo kobombama liboso na Yo, nakokoma koyengayenga mpe kotelengana na mokili, mpe moto nyonso oyo akomona ngai akoboma ngai.
15 And the LORD said unto him, Therefore whosoever slays Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the LORD set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him.
Kasi Yawe alobaki na ye: — Ezali bongo te! Soki moto abomi Kayina, bakozongisa mabe mpo na Kayina mbala sambo. Mpe Yawe atiaki elembo na nzoto ya Kayina na tina ete moto oyo akokutana na ye aboma ye te.
16 And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.
Kayina alongwaki liboso ya Yawe, akendeki kovanda na mokili ya Nodi, na este ya Edeni.
17 And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he built a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch.
Kayina asangisaki nzoto na mwasi na ye; mpe mwasi na ye akomaki na zemi, bongo abotaki Enoki. Kayina atongaki engumba. Apesaki yango kombo « Enoki, » kombo ya mwana na ye ya mobali.
18 And unto Enoch was born Irad: and Irad brings forth Mehujael: and Mehujael brings forth Methusael: and Methusael brings forth Lamech.
Enoki abotaki Iradi; Iradi abotaki Mewuyayeli; Mewuyayeli abotaki Metusaeli; Metusaeli abotaki Lemeki.
19 And Lamech took unto him two wives: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah.
Lemeki abalaki basi mibale: moko, kombo na ye ezalaki « Ada, » mpe mosusu, « Tsila. »
20 And Adah bare Jabal: he was the father of such as dwell in tents, and of such as have cattle.
Ada abotaki Yabali, koko ya bavandi ya bandako ya kapo mpe ya babokoli bibwele.
21 And his brother's name was Jubal: he was the father of all such as handle the harp and organ.
Ndeko na ye ya mobali, Yubali, azalaki koko ya bato oyo babetaka lindanda mpe flite.
22 And Zillah, she also bare Tubalcain, an instructor of every artificer in brass and iron: and the sister of Tubalcain was Naamah.
Tsila mpe abotaki mwana mobali, Tubali-Kayina, oyo azalaki kosala bisalelo nyonso ya bronze mpe ya bibende. Tubali-Kayina azalaki na ndeko mwasi, kombo na ye ezalaki « Naama. »
23 And Lamech said unto his wives, Adah and Zillah, Hear my voice; all of you wives of Lamech, hearken unto my speech: for I have slain a man to my wounding, and a young man to my hurt.
Lemeki alobaki na basi na ye: « Ada mpe Tsila, boyoka ngai malamu; bino basi ya Lemeki, bolanda ngai malamu: Solo, likolo ya pota moko, ngai nabomaki moto; mpe likolo ya mwa pota, nabomaki elenge mobali!
24 If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, truly Lamech seventy and sevenfold.
Solo, bakozongisa mbala sambo mabe oyo basali Kayina; kasi mpo na Lemeki, ekozala mbala tuku sambo na sambo! »
25 And Adam had sexual contact with his wife again; and she bare a son, and called his name Seth: For God, said she, has appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew.
Adamu asangisaki lisusu nzoto na mwasi na ye, bongo mwasi na ye abotaki Seti, pamba te alobaki: « Nzambe apesi ngai mwana mosusu na esika ya Abele oyo Kayina abomaki. »
26 And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enos: then began men to call upon the name of the LORD.
Seti mpe abotaki mwana mobali, apesaki ye kombo « Enoshi. » Ezalaki na tango wana nde bato bakomaki kobelela Kombo ya Yawe.
