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”;
Alò, lòm nan te vin nan relasyon avèk madanm li, Ève. Li te vin ansent e li te vin kouche fè Cain. Konsa, li te di: “Mwen gen tan fè yon ti nonm avèk èd SENYÈ a:”
2 and she adds to bear his brother, even Abel. And Abel is feeding a flock, and Cain has been servant of the ground.
Ankò, li te bay nesans a frè li, Abel. Epi Abel se te yon bèje bann mouton, men Cain t ap laboure tè a.
3 And it comes to pass at the end of days that Cain brings from the fruit of the ground a present to YHWH;
Li te vin rive pi devan ke Cain te pote yon ofrann bay SENYÈ a, ki sòti nan fwi rekòlt tè 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,
Abel, osi, sou pati pa l te pote nan premye pòtre twoupo, e nan pòsyon pi gra a nan yo. Konsa, SENYÈ a te kontan pou Abel avèk ofrann pa l 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 pou Cain, avèk ofrann pa li a, Li pa t kontan. Alò, Cain te vin byen fache, e figi li te vin ba.
6 And YHWH says to Cain, “Why do you have displeasure? And why has your countenance fallen?
Alò, SENYÈ a te di a Cain: “Poukisa ou fache konsa? Epi poukisa figi ou vin ba 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 ou fè sa ki bon èske figi ou p ap leve ankò? Epi si ou pa fè sa ki bon, peche ap kouche devan papòt ou. Dezi li se pou ou, men ou oblije vin mèt 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.
Cain te di frè l la, Abel, “An ale nan chan.” Epi li te vin rive ke pandan yo te nan chan an, Cain te leve kont Abel, frè l la, e li te 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?”
Alò, SENYÈ a te di a Cain: “Kote frè ou a, Abel?” Epi li te di: “Mwen pa konnen. Èske mwen se gadyen frè m nan?”
10 And He says, “What have you done? The voice of your brother’s blood is crying to Me from the ground;
Li te di: “Kisa ou te fè la a? Vwa san a frè ou a ap rele ban Mwen sòti nan tè a.
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 ou modi, soti nan tè a, ki te ouvri bouch li pou resevwa san Abel nan men ou an.
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.”
Depi koulye a, lè ou kiltive tè a, li p ap bay ou fòs li ankò. Ou va vin yon vagabon k ap mache toupatou sou latè.”
13 And Cain says to YHWH, “My punishment is too great than to bear;
Cain te di a SENYÈ a: “Pinisyon mwen an twò di pou m sipòte!
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.”
Byen gade! Jodi a ou gen tan pouse m kite sifas tè a. Konsa, fas ou p ap wè m; mwen va vin yon vagabon k ap plede mache toupatou sou latè, e 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.
Alò, SENYÈ a te di li: “Pou sa, nenpòt moun ki touye Cain, vanjans va tonbe sou li sèt fwa plis.” Epi SENYÈ a te chwazi yon sign pou Cain, dekwa ke pèsòn ki jwenn li pa ta touye l.
16 And Cain goes out from before YHWH, and dwells in the land, moving about east of Eden;
Konsa, Cain te sòti de prezans SENYÈ a, e li te al rete sou teren Nod nan pati lès Eden an.
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.
Cain te antre an relasyon avèk madanm li. Li te vin ansent, e li te bay nesans a Hénoc; epi li te bati yon vil. Li te bay vil la non Henoc, menm non ak fis li a.
18 And born to Enoch is Irad; and Irad has begotten Mehujael; and Mehujael has begotten Methusael; and Methusael has begotten Lamech.
Alò, Hénoc te fè Irad, e Irad te devni papa a Mehujaël, Mehujaël te vin papa a Metuschaël, e Metuschaël te vin papa a Lémec.
19 And Lamech takes to himself two wives, the name of the first Adah, and the name of the second Zillah.
Lémec te pran pou li de madanm: youn yo te rele Ada, e non a lòt la se te Tsilla.
20 And Adah bears Jabal, he has been father of those inhabiting tents and [having] purchased livestock;
Ada te bay nesans a Jabal. Li te papa a tout sila ki te rete nan tant yo, e ki te okipe bèt yo.
21 and the name of his brother [is] Jubal, he has been father of everyone handling harp and pipe.
Frè li a te rele Jubal. Li te papa a tout sila ki te jwe ap avèk shaloumo yo.
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.
Epi pou Tsilla, li te bay nesans a Tubal-Cain, yon bòs fòjewon ki fè zouti avèk bwonz ak fè. Sè a Tubal Cain an se te 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;
Lémec te di a madanm li yo: “Ada avèk Tsilla, koute vwa m. Nou menm ki madanm a Lémec yo; byen okipe pawòl mwen. Paske mwen te touye yon mesye akoz ke li blese m; e yon gason akoz li frape m.
24 For sevenfold is required for Cain, And for Lamech seventy-sevenfold.”
Si Cain vanje sèt fwa, alò Lémec swasann-dis-sèt 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.
Adam te antre an relasyon ankò avèk madanm li, epi li te bay nesans a yon fis. Li te rele li Seth, paske li te di “Bondye te chwazi ban mwen yon lòt fis nan plas Abel, paske Cain te touye li”.
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.
Pou Seth, li menm, li te bay nesans a yon fis, epi li te rele non li Énosch. Nan lè sa a, lèzòm te kòmanse ap rele non SENYÈ a.
