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 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 adds to bear his brother, even Abel. And Abel is feeding a flock, and Cain has been servant of the ground.
Sima na yango, abotaki lisusu Abele, ndeko ya Kayina. Abele akomaki kobokola bibwele mpe Kayina akomaki kosala bilanga.
3 And it comes to pass at the end of days that Cain brings from the fruit of the ground a present to YHWH;
Sima na mwa tango, Kayina amemaki mbuma ya mabele mpo na kobonzela Yawe.
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,
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 and to Cain and to his present He has not looked; and it is very displeasing to Cain, and his countenance is fallen.
kasi asepelaki te na Kayina mpe na makabo na ye. Bongo, Kayina asilikaki makasi mpe elongi na ye ekomaki mawa-mawa.
6 And YHWH says to Cain, “Why do you have displeasure? And why has your countenance fallen?
Yawe alobaki na Kayina: — Mpo na nini osiliki? Mpo na nini elongi na yo ekomi mawa-mawa?
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]].”
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 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.
Kayina alobaki na Abele, ndeko na ye. Wana bazalaki kati na bilanga, Kayina akangaki Abele, ndeko na ye, mpe abomaki ye.
9 And YHWH says to Cain, “Where [is] your brother Abel?” And he says, “I have not known; 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 says, “What have you done? The voice of your brother’s blood is crying to 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, cursed [are] you from the ground, which has opened her mouth to receive the blood of your brother 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 will not add to give its strength to you—a wanderer, even a trembling one, you are in the earth.”
Tango okobalola mabele, ekobotela yo mbuma te. Okozala koyengayenga mpe kotelengana na mokili.
13 And Cain says to YHWH, “My punishment is too great than to bear;
Kayina alobaki na Yawe: — Etumbu na ngai eleki pasi mpo na komema!
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.”
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 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.
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 goes out from before YHWH, and dwells in the land, moving about east of Eden;
Kayina alongwaki liboso ya Yawe, akendeki kovanda na mokili ya Nodi, na este ya 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.
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 born to Enoch is Irad; and Irad has begotten Mehujael; and Mehujael has begotten Methusael; and Methusael has begotten Lamech.
Enoki abotaki Iradi; Iradi abotaki Mewuyayeli; Mewuyayeli abotaki Metusaeli; Metusaeli abotaki Lemeki.
19 And Lamech takes to himself two wives, the name of the first Adah, and the name of the second Zillah.
Lemeki abalaki basi mibale: moko, kombo na ye ezalaki « Ada, » mpe mosusu, « Tsila. »
20 And Adah bears Jabal, he has been father of those inhabiting tents and [having] purchased livestock;
Ada abotaki Yabali, koko ya bavandi ya bandako ya kapo mpe ya babokoli bibwele.
21 and the name of his brother [is] Jubal, he has been father of everyone handling harp and pipe.
Ndeko na ye ya mobali, Yubali, azalaki koko ya bato oyo babetaka lindanda mpe flite.
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.
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 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;
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 For sevenfold is required for Cain, And for Lamech seventy-sevenfold.”
Solo, bakozongisa mbala sambo mabe oyo basali Kayina; kasi mpo na Lemeki, ekozala mbala tuku sambo na sambo! »
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 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 a son has been born, and he calls his name Enos; then a beginning was made of preaching in the Name of YHWH.
Seti mpe abotaki mwana mobali, apesaki ye kombo « Enoshi. » Ezalaki na tango wana nde bato bakomaki kobelela Kombo ya Yawe.
