Genesis 4
1 And the man he knew Eve wife his and she conceived and she bore Cain and she said I have acquired a man with Yahweh.
Adam dɔ kple srɔ̃a, Eva, eye wòfɔ fu dzi Kain. Eva gblɔ be, “To Yehowa ƒe amenuveve me la, medzi ŋutsu.”
2 And she repeated to give birth to brother his Abel and he was Abel a herder of sheep and Cain he was a tiller of [the] ground.
Eva gadzi ŋutsuvi bubu, eye wòna ŋkɔe be Abel. Abel nye lãnyila, eye Kain nye agbledela.
3 And it happened from [the] end of days and he brought Cain some of [the] fruit of the ground an offering to Yahweh.
Le nuŋeɣi la, Kain tsɔ eƒe agblemenukuwo sa vɔ na Yehowa,
4 And Abel he brought also he some of [the] firstborn of flock his and some of fat their and he looked Yahweh to Abel and to offering his.
eye Abel hã tsɔ eƒe alẽvi damitɔ sa vɔ nɛ. Yehowa xɔ Abel ƒe vɔsa,
5 And to Cain and to offering his not he looked and burned to Cain exceedingly and they fell face his.
gake mexɔ Kain tɔ o. Nu sia na Kain xa nu, eye wòdo dɔmedzoe heɖo adã.
6 And he said Yahweh to Cain why? does it burn to you and why? have they fallen face your.
Yehowa bia Kain be, “Nu ka ta nèdo dɔmedzoe vevie, eye nèyɔ mo ɖo?
7 ¿ Not if you will do well lifting up and if not you will do well to the door sin [is] crouching and [is] to you desire its and you you will rule over it.
Wò mo ate ŋu akɔ kple dzidzɔ ne ɖe nèwɔ nu si wòle be nàwɔ la! Ke esi nèwɔ vɔ̃ ta la, nu vɔ̃ le wò ʋɔtru nu le lalawòm be yeaɖu dziwò. Ke dze agbagba be nàɖu edzi!”
8 And he said Cain to Abel brother his (let us go [into] the field *X*) and it was when were they in the field and he rose up Cain against Abel brother his and he killed him.
Gbe ɖeka la, Kain gblɔ na nɔvia, Abel be, “Na míayi gbedzi.” Esi woyi gbea dzi la, Kain wu nɔvia, Abel.
9 And he said Yahweh to Cain where? [is] Abel brother your and he said not I know ¿ [the] keeper of brother my [am] I.
Emegbe la, Yehowa bia Kain be, “Afi ka nɔviwò, Abel le?” Kain ɖo eŋu be, “Nyemenya o. Nɔvinyeŋudzɔlae menyea?”
10 And he said what? have you done [the] voice of [the] blood of brother your [are] crying out to me from the ground.
Yehowa gblɔ nɛ be, “Nu kae nye esi nèwɔ? Kpɔ ɖa, nɔviwò ƒe ʋu do ɣli tso anyigba dzi va ɖo gbɔnye na hlɔ̃biabia.
11 And now [are] cursed you from the ground which has opened mouth its to receive [the] blood of brother your from hand your.
Ke fifia fiƒode le dziwò, eye menya wò ɖa tso anyigba si nèdo gui kple nɔviwò ƒe ʋu la dzi.
12 For you will till the ground not will repeat to give produce its to you a wanderer and a fugitive you will be on the earth.
Anyigba maganyo nuku na wò o, ne èku kutri le edzi vevie gɔ̃ hã! Azɔ la, àzu tsaglãlatsala kple godzela le anyigba dzi.”
13 And he said Cain to Yahweh [is too] great punishment my for bearing.
Kain ɖo eŋu na Yehowa be, “Nye tohehe kpe wu tsɔtsɔ nam,
14 Here! you have driven away me this day from on [the] surface of the ground and from before you I will be hidden and I will be a wanderer and a fugitive on the earth and it will be every [one who] finds me he will kill me.
elabena ènyam ɖa tso nye agble kple wò ŋutɔ gbɔ, èwɔm tsaglãlatsala kple godzela, eye ame sia ame si akpɔm la, adi be yeawum.”
15 And he said to him Yahweh therefore any [one who] kills Cain sevenfold he will be avenged and he appointed Yahweh for Cain a sign to not to strike him any [one who] found him.
Yehowa gblɔ nɛ be, “Womawu wò o, elabena mada wò tohehe teƒe adre ɖe ame si awu wò la dzi.” Ale Yehowa de dzesi tɔxɛ Kain ŋu si ana be ame aɖeke mawui o.
16 And he went out Cain from to before Yahweh and he dwelt in [the] land of Nod [the] east of Eden.
Ale Kain dzo le Yehowa ƒe ŋkume, eye wòyi ɖanɔ Nodnyigba si le Edenbɔ ƒe ɣedzeƒe lɔƒo la dzi.
17 And he knew Cain wife his and she conceived and she bore Enoch and he was building a city and he called [the] name of the city according to [the] name of son his Enoch.
Kain srɔ̃ fɔ fu, eye wòdzi ŋutsuvi. Ena ŋkɔe be Enɔk. Esia ta esi Kain tso du aɖe la, etsɔ via ƒe ŋkɔ nɛ be Enɔk.
18 And he was born to Enoch Irad and Irad he fathered Mehujael and Mehujael he fathered Methushael and Methushael he fathered Lamech.
Enɔk nye Irad fofo, Irad nye Mehuyael fofo, Mehuyael nye Metusael fofo, Metusael nye Lamek fofo.
19 And he took for himself Lamech two wives [the] name of the one [was] Adah and [the] name of the second [was] Zillah.
Lamek ɖe srɔ̃ eve, Ada kple Zila.
20 And she bore Adah Jabal he he was [the] father of dweller[s] of tent and livestock.
Ada dzi Yabal. Eyae zu nyikplɔla kple ame siwo nɔa avɔgbadɔwo me la dometɔ gbãtɔ.
21 And [the] name of brother his [was] Jubal he he was [the] father of every player of harp and flute.
Nɔvia ŋutsu ŋkɔe nye Yubal, eye wònye ame gbãtɔ si wɔ kasaŋku kple dze.
22 And Zillah also she she bore Tubal-Cain a sharpener of every worker of bronze and iron and [was] [the] sister of Tubal-Cain Naamah.
Lamek srɔ̃ evelia, Zila dzi Tubal Kain. Eyae zu gbede gbãtɔ, eye wòtua nuwo kple akɔbli kple gayibɔ. Tubal Kain nɔvinyɔnue nye Naama.
23 And he said Lamech to wives his O Adah and Zillah listen to voice my O wives of Lamech give ear to speech my that a man I have killed for bruise my and a young man for wound my.
Gbe ɖeka la, Lamek gblɔ na Ada kple Zila be, “Srɔ̃nyewo, miɖo tom. Mewu ame aɖe si de abi ŋunye, ɖekakpui aɖe si wɔ nuvevim.
24 For sevenfold he will be avenged Cain and Lamech seventy and seven.
Ne woahe to na ame si awu Kain zi adre la, ekema ele be woahe to na Lamek zi blaadre-vɔ-adre!”
25 And he knew Adam again wife his and she bore a son and she called name his Seth for he has appointed for me God of spring another in place of Abel for he killed him Cain.
Emegbe la, Adam kple srɔ̃a nɔ anyi eye Eva gadzi ŋutsuvi, eye wòna ŋkɔe be Set si gɔmee nye “Teƒeɖoɖo,” elabena Eva gblɔ be, “Mawu tsɔ ŋutsuvi bubu ɖo Abel, ame si Kain wu la teƒe nam.”
26 And to Seth also he he was born a son and he called name his Enosh then it was begun to call on [the] name of Yahweh.
Esi Set tsi la, edzi ŋutsuvi, eye wòna ŋkɔe be Enos. Le ɣe ma ɣi me la, amewo de asi Yehowa ŋkɔ yɔyɔ me.
