Genesis 4
1 And Adam knew Eve his wife, and she conceived and brought forth Cain and said, I have gained a man through God.
Adam de ne ho kaa ne yere Hawa ma onyinsɛn, woo abarimaa a wɔfrɛ no Kain. Na ɔkae se, Awurade adaworoma, mawo ɔbabarima.
2 And she again bore his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.
Akyiri no, ɔsan woo nʼakyi babarima too no din Habel. Na Habel bɛyɛɛ oguanhwɛfo, na Kain nso bɛyɛɛ okuafo.
3 And it was so after some time that Cain brought of the fruits of the earth a sacrifice to the Lord.
Nna bi akyi no, Kain de nʼafum nnɔbae bi kɔbɔɔ Awurade afɔre.
4 And Abel also brought of the first born of his sheep and of his fatlings, and God looked upon Abel and his gifts,
Habel nso de ne nyɛmmoa no mu mmakan a wɔadodɔ srade kɔbɔɔ Onyankopɔn afɔre. Awurade ani sɔɔ Habel afɔrebɔ no.
5 but Cain and his sacrifices he regarded not, and Cain was exceedingly sorrowful and his countenance fell.
Nanso Kain afɔrebɔ no de, nʼani ansɔ. Asɛm no anyɛ Kain dɛ, na ne bo fuwii.
6 And the Lord God said to Cain, Why are you become very sorrowful and why is your countenance fallen?
Awurade bisaa Kain se, “Adɛn nti na wo bo afuw? Adɛn nti na woamuna saa?
7 Hast you not sinned if you have brought it rightly, but not rightly divided it? be still, to you shall be his submission, and you shall rule over him.
Sɛ woyɛ ade pa a, anka wɔrennye wo nto mu ana? Sɛ wonyɛ ade pa de a, bɔne gyina wo pon ano, ɛrehwehwɛ wo ako atia wo, nanso ɛsɛ sɛ wudi no so.”
8 And Cain said to Abel his brother, Let us go out into the plain; and it came to pass that when they were in the plain Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and killed him.
Da bi Kain ka kyerɛɛ ne nua Habel se, “Ma yɛnkɔ afum.” Bere a wɔwɔ afum hɔ no, Kain tow hyɛɛ ne nua Habel so, kum no.
9 And the Lord God said to Cain, Where is Abel your brother? and he said, I know not, am I my brother's keeper?
Awurade bisaa Kain se, “Wo nua Habel wɔ he?” Kain buae se, “Minnim. Mɛyɛ dɛn ahu? Me na mehwɛ me nua so ana?”
10 And the Lord said, What have you done? the voice of your brother's blood cries to me out of the ground.
Awurade bisaa Kain se, “Dɛn na woayɛ yi? Tie! Wo nua mogya su fi asase so frɛ me.
11 And now you [are] cursed from the earth which has opened her mouth to receive your brother's blood from your hand.
Mprempren, wɔadome wo, apam wo afi asase a ebuee nʼano gyee wo nua mogya fii wo nsam no so.
12 When you till the earth, then it shall not continue to give its strength to you: you shall be groaning and trembling on the earth.
Sɛ woyɛ asase no so adwuma sɛ dɛn ara a, worennya nnɔbae biara mfi so. Wobɛyɛ ɔkobɔfo, akyinkyin asase so.”
13 And Cain said to the Lord God, My crime [is] too great for me to be forgiven.
Kain kae se, “Awurade mʼasotwe boro me so.
14 If you cast me out this day from the face of the earth, and I shall be hidden from your presence, and I shall be groaning and trembling upon the earth, then it will be that any one that finds me shall kill me.
Nnɛ, woapam me afi asase so ne wʼanim. Mɛyɛ ɔkobɔfo akyinkyin asase so na obiara a obenya me no bekum me.”
15 And the Lord God said to him, Not so, any one that slays Cain shall suffer sevenfold vengeance; and the Lord God set a mark upon Cain that no one that found him might kill him.
Nanso Awurade ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Ɛnte saa koraa! Obiara a obekum Kain no benya Kain asotwe no mpɛn ason.” Afei, Awurade hyɛɛ Kain agyirae bi sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a, obiara a obehyia no no renkum no.
16 So Cain went forth from the presence of God and lived in the land of Nod over against Edem.
Enti Kain guan fii Awurade anim, kɔtenaa Nod asase so wɔ Eden apuei fam.
17 And Cain knew his wife, and having conceived she bore Enoch; and he built a city; and he named the city after the name of his son, Enoch.
Kain de ne ho kaa ne yere na onyinsɛn, woo ɔbabarima, too no din Henok. Saa bere no, Kain kyekyeree kurow bi de too ne ba Henok.
18 And to Enoch was born Gaidad; and Gaidad begot Maleleel; and Maleleel begot Mathusala; and Mathusala begot Lamech.
Henok woo Irad. Irad woo Mehuyael. Mehuyael woo Metusael. Metusael woo Lamek.
19 And Lamech took to himself two wives; the name of the one was Ada, and the name of the second Sella.
Lamek waree mmea baanu a wɔn din de Ada ne Sila.
20 And Ada bore Jobel; he was the father of those that dwell in tents, feeding cattle.
Ada woo Yabal a nʼasefo yɛ wɔn a wɔte ntamadan mu yɛn mmoa.
21 And the name of his brother was Jubal; he it was who invented the lute and harp.
Na Yabal nuabarima din de Yubal a nʼasefo yɛ mmɛnhyɛnfo ne sankubɔfo.
22 And Sella also bore Thobel; he was a smith, a manufacturer both of brass and iron; and the sister of Thobel was Noema.
Sila woo ɔbabarima a wɔfrɛ no Tubal-Kain. Na ɔyɛ kɔbere atomfo ne nnade ahorow nyinaa atomfo agya. Na Tubal-Kain wɔ nuabea bi a ne din de Naama.
23 And Lamech said to his wives, Ada and Sella, Hear my voice, you wives of Lamech, consider my words, because I have slain a man to my sorrow and a youth to my grief.
Da bi, Lamek ka kyerɛɛ ne yerenom Ada ne Sila se, “Muntie me, me yerenom makum aberante bi a, ɔtow hyɛɛ me so, piraa me.
24 Because vengeance has been exacted seven times on Cain's behalf, on Lamech's [it shall be] seventy times seven.
Sɛ Kain so aweretɔ bɛyɛ mpɛn ason a, ɛno de, me Lamek de, nea obekum me no, nʼasotwe bɛyɛ mpɛn aduɔson ason.”
25 And Adam knew Eve his wife, and she conceived and bore a son, and called his name Seth, saying, For God has raised up to me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain killed.
Akyiri no, Adam de ne ho kaa ne yere Hawa. Na ɔwoo ɔbabarima bio. Na wɔtoo no din Set kae se, “Onyankopɔn ama me ɔba foforo asi Habel a Kain kum no no anan mu.”
26 And Seth had a son, and he called his name Enos: he hoped to call on the name of the Lord God.
Set nso woo ɔbabarima na ɔtoo no din Enos. Saa bere no mu na nnipa fitii ase bɔɔ Awurade din.
