Genesis 4
1 Now, the man, having come to know Eve his wife, —she conceived and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a Man, even Yahweh!
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 went on to bear his brother, Abel, —and Abel became a feeder of sheep, whereas Cain, was a tiller of the round.
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 So it came to pass, after certain days, that Cain brought in of the fruit of the ground, a present to Yahweh:
Li te vin rive pi devan ke Cain te pote yon ofrann bay SENYÈ a, ki sòti nan fwi rekòlt tè a.
4 Abel, also, even, he, brought in of the firstlings of his sheep, and of their fat, and Yahweh approved of Abel and of 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 but of Cain and his present, he approved not, —and it angered Cain greatly, and his countenance fell.
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 So then Yahweh said unto Cain, —Wherefore hath it angered thee, and wherefore hath thy countenance fallen?
Alò, SENYÈ a te di a Cain: “Poukisa ou fache konsa? Epi poukisa figi ou vin ba konsa?
7 Shall it not, if thou do right, be lifted up? But if thou do not right, at the entrance a sin-bearer is lying, —Unto thee, moreover, shall be his longing, though, thou, rule over 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 said unto Abel his brother Let us go into the field And it came to pass when they were in the field that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew 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 Then said Yahweh unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said I know not, the keeper of my brother, am, I?
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 said, What hast thou done? With a voice, the shed-blood of thy brother is crying out 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 Now therefore, accursed, art thou, —from the ground which hath opened her mouth, to receive the shed-blood of thy brother at thy hand.
Koulye a ou modi, soti nan tè a, ki te ouvri bouch li pou resevwa san Abel nan men ou an.
12 Though thou till the ground, it shall not go on to give its vigour to thee. A wanderer and a fugitive, shalt thou be 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 said unto Yahweh—Greater is my punishment than I can bear.
Cain te di a SENYÈ a: “Pinisyon mwen an twò di pou m sipòte!
14 Lo! thou has driven me out, this day, from off the face of the ground And from thy face, shall I be hid, So shall I become a wanderer and a fugitive in the earth. And it shall come to pass, whosoever findeth 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 Yahweh said to him—Not so, whosoever slayeth Cain seven—fold, shall it be avenged. So Yahweh set, for Cain, a sign, that none finding him should smite 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 So Cain went forth from the presence of Yahweh, —and dwelt in the land of Nod, eastward 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 knew his wife, and she conceived, and bare Enoch, —Now it happened that he was building a city, so he called the name of the city, after 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 there was born to Enoch Irad, and, Irad, begat Mehujael, —and Mehujael, begat Methusael, —and Methusael, begat 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 took to himself two wives, —the name of the one, was 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 bare Jabal, —he, was father of such as dwell in tents, and have cattle;
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, was Jubal, —he, was father of everyone handling lyre and flute,
Frè li a te rele Jubal. Li te papa a tout sila ki te jwe ap avèk shaloumo yo.
22 And, as for Zillah, she also, bare Tubal-Cain, a sharpener of every cutting instrument of bronze and iron, —and, the sister of Tubal-Cain, was 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 Then said Lamech to his wives, Adah and Zillah! hear ye my voice, Ye wives of Lamech! give ear to my tale, For a man, have I slain in dealing my wounds, Yea, a youth, in smiting my blows:
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 If, sevenfold, be, the avenging of Cain, Then, of Lamech, seventy and seven.
Si Cain vanje sèt fwa, alò Lémec swasann-dis-sèt fwa.”
25 And Adam again knew his wife, and she bare a son, and called his name Seth, —For God hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, because Cain slew 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, was born a son, and he called his name Enosh, —then, was a beginning made, to call on the name of Yahweh.
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.
