Genesis 4
1 And the man knew his wife Eve, and she conceives and bears Cain, and says, “I have acquired a man by YHWH”;
Adamu anagona malo amodzi ndi Hava mkazi wake ndipo mkaziyo anakhala woyembekezera nabala Kaini, ndipo anati, “Ndi thandizo la Yehova ndapeza mwana wamwamuna.”
2 and she adds to bear his brother, even Abel. And Abel is feeding a flock, and Cain has been servant of the ground.
Kenaka anabereka mʼbale wake Abele. Abele anali woweta nkhosa ndipo Kaini anali mlimi.
3 And it comes to pass at the end of days that Cain brings from the fruit of the ground a present to YHWH;
Patapita nthawi, Kaini anatenga zipatso za ku munda nakazipereka kwa Yehova monga nsembe.
4 and Abel, he has brought, he also, from the female firstlings of his flock, and from their fat ones; and YHWH looks to Abel and to his present,
Nayenso Abele anatenga ana ankhosa oyamba kubadwa pamodzi ndi mafuta ake nakazipereka ngati nsembe kwa Yehova. Yehova anakondwera ndi Abele ndi nsembe yake.
5 and to Cain and to his present He has not looked; and it is very displeasing to Cain, and his countenance is fallen.
Koma sanakondwere ndi Kaini ndi nsembe yake. Kotero Kaini anakwiya kwambiri ndipo nkhope yake inagwa.
6 And YHWH says to Cain, “Why do you have displeasure? And why has your countenance fallen?
Choncho Yehova anati kwa Kaini, “Chifukwa chiyani wakwiya ndipo bwanji nkhope yako yagwa?
7 Is there not, if you do well, acceptance? And if you do not do well, sin [[or a sin-offering]] is lying at the opening, and its [[or His]] desire [is] for you, and you rule over it [[or by Him]].”
Ukanachita zabwino sindikanakulandira kodi? Koma tsopano wachita zoyipa ndipo tchimo likukudikira pa khomo pako, likufuna kukugwira; koma iwe uyenera kugonjetsa tchimolo.”
8 And Cain says to his brother Abel, [[“Let us go into the field”; ]] and it comes to pass in their being in the field, that Cain rises up against his brother Abel, and slays him.
Tsiku lina Kaini anati kwa mʼbale wake Abele, “Tiye tipite ku munda.” Ndipo ali ku mundako, Kaini anawukira mʼbale wake namupha.
9 And YHWH says to Cain, “Where [is] your brother Abel?” And he says, “I have not known; am I my brother’s keeper?”
Ndipo Yehova anamufunsa Kaini kuti, “Ali kuti mʼbale wako Abele?” Iye anayankha kuti, “Sindikudziwa. Kodi ine ndine wosunga mʼbale wanga?”
10 And He says, “What have you done? The voice of your brother’s blood is crying to Me from the ground;
Yehova anati, “Kodi wachita chiyani? Tamvera! Magazi a mʼbale wako akulirira kwa Ine kuchokera mʼnthaka.
11 and now, cursed [are] you from the ground, which has opened her mouth to receive the blood of your brother from your hand;
Ndipo tsopano ndiwe wotembereredwa ndipo wachotsedwa mʼdziko limene nthaka yake inatsekula pakamwa pake kulandira magazi a mʼbale wako amene unakhetsa.
12 when you till the ground, it will not add to give its strength to you—a wanderer, even a trembling one, you are in the earth.”
Udzalima munda koma nthakayo sidzakupatsanso zokolola zake. Udzakhala wosakhazikika; womangoyendayenda pa dziko lapansi.”
13 And Cain says to YHWH, “My punishment is too great than to bear;
Kaini anati kwa Yehova, “Chilango changa ndi chachikulu kuposera mphamvu zanga.
14 behold, You have driven me today from off the face of the ground, and from Your face I am hid; and I have been a wanderer, even a trembling one, in the earth, and it has been—everyone finding me will slay me.”
Lero mukundipirikitsa pa dziko ndi pamaso panu; ndidzakhala wosakhazikika, woyendayenda, ndipo aliyense amene adzandipeze adzandipha.”
15 And YHWH says to him, “Therefore, of any slayer of Cain it is required sevenfold”; and YHWH sets to Cain a token that none finding him will slay him.
Koma Yehova anamuwuza kuti, “Sizidzatero ayi; aliyense amene adzaphe Kaini adzalangidwa ndi kulipiritsidwa kasanu ndi kawiri.” Pamenepo Yehova anayika chizindikiro pa Kaini kuti aliyense womupeza asamuphe.
16 And Cain goes out from before YHWH, and dwells in the land, moving about east of Eden;
Ndipo Kaini anachoka pamaso pa Yehova nakakhala ku dziko la Nodi, kummawa kwa Edeni.
17 and Cain knows his wife, and she conceives, and bears Enoch; and he is building a city, and he calls the name of the city, according to the name of his son—Enoch.
Kaini anagona malo amodzi ndi mkazi wake ndipo mkaziyo anakhala woyembekezera nabala Enoki. Kaini nthawi imeneyo nʼkuti akumanga mzinda ndipo anawutcha dzina la mwana wake Enoki.
18 And born to Enoch is Irad; and Irad has begotten Mehujael; and Mehujael has begotten Methusael; and Methusael has begotten Lamech.
Enoki anabereka Iradi; Iradi anabereka Mehuyaeli, ndipo Mehuyaeli anabereka Metusela, ndipo Metusela anabereka Lameki.
19 And Lamech takes to himself two wives, the name of the first Adah, and the name of the second Zillah.
Lameki anakwatira akazi awiri, wina dzina lake linali Ada ndi winayo dzina lake linali Zila.
20 And Adah bears Jabal, he has been father of those inhabiting tents and [having] purchased livestock;
Ada anabereka Yabala; iyeyu anali kholo la onse okhala mʼmatenti ndi oweta ziweto.
21 and the name of his brother [is] Jubal, he has been father of everyone handling harp and pipe.
Dzina la mʼbale wake linali Yubala; iyeyu anali kholo la onse oyimba zeze ndi chitoliro.
22 And Zillah, she also bears Tubal-Cain, an instructor of every craftsman in bronze and iron; and a sister of Tubal-Cain [is] Naamah.
Zila nayenso anali ndi mwana wamwamuna, dzina lake Tubala-Kaini. Iyeyu anali kholo la amisiri onse osula zida za mkuwa ndi chitsulo. Mlongo wake wa Tubala-Kaini anali Naama.
23 And Lamech says to his wives: “Adah and Zillah, hear my voice; Wives of Lamech, give ear [to] my saying: For I have slain a man for my wound, Even a young man for my hurt;
Lameki anawuza akazi akewo kuti, “Ada ndi Zila, ndimvereni; inu akazi anga imvani mawu anga. Ine ndinapha munthu chifukwa anandipweteka. Ndinapha mnyamatayo chifukwa anandimenya.
24 For sevenfold is required for Cain, And for Lamech seventy-sevenfold.”
Ngati wopha Kaini amulipsira kasanu nʼkawiri, ndiye kuti wopha ine Lameki adzamulipsira kokwanira 77.”
25 And Adam again knows his wife, and she bears a son, and calls his name Seth, “for God has appointed for me another seed instead of Abel”: for Cain had slain him.
Adamu anagonanso malo amodzi ndi mkazi wake, ndipo anabereka mwana wamwamuna namutcha Seti, kutanthauza kuti, “Mulungu wandipatsa mwana wina mʼmalo mwa Abele, popeza Kaini anamupha.”
26 And to Seth, to him also a son has been born, and he calls his name Enos; then a beginning was made of preaching in the Name of YHWH.
Seti naye anali ndi mwana wa mwamuna, ndipo anamutcha Enosi. Pa nthawi imeneyi anthu anayamba kupemphera mʼdzina la Yehova.
