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”;
Lè sa a, Adan kouche ak Ev, madanm li. Madanm li vin ansent. Li fè yon pitit gason, li rele l' Kayen, epi li di. Avèk konkou Bondye, mwen gen yon gason.
2 and she adds to bear his brother, even Abel. And Abel is feeding a flock, and Cain has been servant of the ground.
Apre sa, li fè Abèl, frè Kayen. Abèl te gadò mouton, Kayen menm te travay latè.
3 And it comes to pass at the end of days that Cain brings from the fruit of the ground a present to YHWH;
Kèk tan apre sa, Kayen pran nan rekòt li, li ofri bay Seye a.
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,
Abèl menm, bò pa l', pran sa ki pi gra nan premye pitit mouton l' yo, li ofri bay Seyè a. Seyè a te kontan ofrann Abèl la.
5 and to Cain and to his present He has not looked; and it is very displeasing to Cain, and his countenance is fallen.
Men, li pa t' asepte ofrann Kayen an. Lè Kayen wè sa, li te move anpil. Li move, li mare figi l' byen mare.
6 And YHWH says to Cain, “Why do you have displeasure? And why has your countenance fallen?
Lè sa a, Seyè a di Kayen. Poukisa ou move konsa? Poukisa ou mare figi ou konsa?
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]].”
Si sa ou te fè a te byen, ou pa ta rive nan sitiyasyon sa a. Men, paske ou fè sa ki mal, peche kouche nan papòt ou. L'ap tann konsa lè pou l' pran tèt ou. Men, ou menm, se pou ou kenbe tèt ak li.
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.
Yon jou, Kayen di Abèl, frè li. Ann al nan jaden. Vwala, antan yo nan jaden an, Kayen vire sou frè li, li touye li.
9 And YHWH says to Cain, “Where [is] your brother Abel?” And he says, “I have not known; am I my brother’s keeper?”
Seyè a mande Kayen. Kote Abèl, frè ou la? Kayen reponn. Mwen pa konnen. Eske ou te mete m' veye l'?
10 And He says, “What have you done? The voice of your brother’s blood is crying to Me from the ground;
Bondye di l' konsa. Kisa ou fè konsa? San Abèl, frè ou, ki koule atè a, ap rele tankou yon vwa moun. Li rive jouk nan zòrèy mwen. L'ap mande revanj.
11 and now, cursed [are] you from the ground, which has opened her mouth to receive the blood of your brother from your hand;
Koulye a, tè ki te louvri bouch li pou l' te bwè san frè ou ou te fè koule a, menm tè sa a ap tounen yon madichon pou ou.
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.”
Lè w'a travay latè, li p'ap ba ou sa l' te dwe ba ou. W'ap tounen yon vakabon k'ap plede mache toupatou sou latè san rete.
13 And Cain says to YHWH, “My punishment is too great than to bear;
Kayen di Seyè a: Chatiman an twòp pou mwen. Mwen p'ap ka sipòte l'.
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.”
Men ou mete m' deyò sou tè sa a koulye a, se kache pou m' al kache pou ou pa wè m'. M'ap tounen yon vakabon k'ap plede mache toupatou sou latè san rete. Nenpòt moun ki jwenn mwen va touye m'.
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.
Seyè a di: Non. Paske, si yon moun touye Kayen, y'ap fè l' peye sa sèt fwa. Se konsa, li mete yon siy sou Kayen pou moun pa touye l' si yo jwenn li.
16 And Cain goes out from before YHWH, and dwells in the land, moving about east of Eden;
Apre sa, Kayen wete kò l' devan Seyè a, li al rete nan yon peyi yo rele Nòd, lòt bò jaden Edenn lan, sou kote solèy leve a.
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.
Kayen kouche avèk madanm li. Madanm li vin ansent, li fè yon ti gason yo rele Enòk. Apre sa, Kayen bati yon vil, li rele l' Enòk. Li ba l' menm non ak pitit gason l' lan.
18 And born to Enoch is Irad; and Irad has begotten Mehujael; and Mehujael has begotten Methusael; and Methusael has begotten Lamech.
Enòk te fè yon pitit gason yo rele Irad. Se Irad sa a ki te papa Meoujaèl. Meoujaèl te papa Metouchaèl. Se Metouchaèl ki te papa Lemèk.
19 And Lamech takes to himself two wives, the name of the first Adah, and the name of the second Zillah.
Lemèk te gen de madanm. Yonn te rele Ada, lòt la te rele Zila.
20 And Adah bears Jabal, he has been father of those inhabiting tents and [having] purchased livestock;
Se Ada ki manman Jabal. Jabal sa a, se li menm ki zansèt tout moun sa yo ki rete anba tant epi ki gade bèt.
21 and the name of his brother [is] Jubal, he has been father of everyone handling harp and pipe.
Frè menm manman ak li a te rele Joubal. Se li menm ki zansèt tout moun sa yo k'ap jwe gita ak fif.
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 menm bò pa l' te manman Toubal Kayen, yon bòs fòjon ki te konn travay kwiv ak fè. Toubal Kayen te gen yon sè menm manman ak li ki te rele 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;
Yon jou Lemèk di madanm li yo: Ada ak Zila, koute sa m'ap di nou! Madanm mwen yo, tande byen sa m'ap di nou! Mwen touye yon moun paske li leve men li sou mwen. Mwen touye yon jenn gason paske li mete san m' deyò.
24 For sevenfold is required for Cain, And for Lamech seventy-sevenfold.”
Si yon moun touye Kayen y'ap fè l' peye sa sèt fwa. Men, si yon moun touye m', mwen menm Lemèk, y'ap fè l' peye sa swasanndisèt fwa.
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.
Adan te kouche ak madanm li ankò. Madanm li fè yon ti gason. Madanm lan di: Bondye ban m' yon lòt gason pou ranplase Abèl Kayen te touye a. Li rele l' Sèt.
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.
Sèt, pou tèt pa l', vin gen yon pitit gason, li rele l' Enòk. Se lè sa a moun konmanse fè sèvis pou Seyè a.
