< 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.
Nake Adamu agĩkoma na mũtumia wake Hawa, nake akĩgĩa nda, agĩciara Kaini. Nake akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ndĩkũgĩa na mwana wa kahĩĩ nĩ ũndũ wa gũteithio nĩ Jehova.”
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.
Thuutha ũcio agĩciara Habili, mũrũ wa nyina. Habili aarĩ mũrĩithi wa mbũri nake Kaini aarĩ mũrĩmi.
3 And it happened from [the] end of days and he brought Cain some of [the] fruit of the ground an offering to Yahweh.
Maikarĩte kwa ihinda-rĩ, Kaini akĩrehe maciaro mamwe ma mũgũnda marĩ igongona kũrĩ Jehova.
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.
No Habili akĩrehe marigithathi mamwe marĩa manoru ma rũũru rwake. Nake Jehova agĩkenio nĩ Habili na igongona rĩake,
5 And to Cain and to offering his not he looked and burned to Cain exceedingly and they fell face his.
no ndaakenirio nĩ Kaini na igongona rĩake. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Kaini akĩrakara mũno, na agĩtukia gĩthiithi.
6 And he said Yahweh to Cain why? does it burn to you and why? have they fallen face your.
Nake Jehova Ngai akĩũria Kaini atĩrĩ, “Ũrakarĩte nĩkĩ? Na nĩ kĩĩ gĩtũmĩte ũtukie gĩthiithi?
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.
Ũngĩka ũrĩa kwagĩrĩire-rĩ, no wage gwĩtĩkĩrĩka? No ũngĩaga gwĩka ũrĩa kwagĩrĩire-rĩ, mehia makuoheirie mũrango-inĩ waku makĩenda gũgwatha; no wee no nginya ũmatoorie.”
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.
Thuutha ũcio Kaini akĩĩra mũrũ wa nyina Habili atĩrĩ, “Nĩtumagare tũthiĩ mũgũnda.” Na rĩrĩa maarĩ kũu mũgũnda, Kaini agĩtharĩkĩra mũrũ wa nyina Habili, akĩmũũraga.
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.
Nake Jehova akĩũria Kaini atĩrĩ, “Arĩ ha mũrũ-wa-nyũkwa Habili?” Nake akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Niĩ ndiũĩ, kaĩ arĩ niĩ mũmenyereri wa mũrũ-wa-maitũ?”
10 And he said what? have you done [the] voice of [the] blood of brother your [are] crying out to me from the ground.
Jehova akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ atĩa wĩkĩte? Ta thikĩrĩria! Thakame ya mũrũ-wa-nyũkwa nĩĩrangaĩra ĩrĩ tĩĩri-inĩ.
11 And now [are] cursed you from the ground which has opened mouth its to receive [the] blood of brother your from hand your.
Na rĩrĩ, nĩũgwatĩtwo nĩ kĩrumi na ũkaingatwo mũgũnda ũrĩa waathamirie kanua kaguo kwamũkĩra thakame ya mũrũ-wa-nyũkwa kuuma guoko-inĩ gwaku.
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.
Rĩrĩa ũrĩũrĩmaga-rĩ, ndũgacooka gũgũciarĩra maciaro maguo. Ũgũtuĩka mũndũ ũtakindagĩria, wa kũũrũũraga gũkũ thĩ.”
13 And he said Cain to Yahweh [is too] great punishment my for bearing.
Nake Kaini akĩĩra Jehova atĩrĩ, “Iherithia rĩakwa nĩ inene gũkĩra ũrĩa ingĩhota gwĩtiiria.
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.
Ũmũthĩ ũyũ nĩũranyingata kuuma mũgũnda ũyũ na ndũũre hithĩtwo ũthiũ waku; ngũtuĩka mũndũ ũtakindagĩria, wa kũũrũũraga gũkũ thĩ, na ũrĩa wothe ũkaanyona nĩakanjũraga.”
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.
No Jehova akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Aca, ti ũguo; mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ angĩkooraga Kaini, nĩakarĩhio maita mũgwanja.” Jehova agĩcooka agĩĩkĩra Kaini rũũri nĩgeetha ũrĩa wothe ũngĩmuona ndakamũũrage!
16 And he went out Cain from to before Yahweh and he dwelt in [the] land of Nod [the] east of Eden.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Kaini akĩehera akiuma harĩ Jehova, na agĩtũũra bũrũri-inĩ wa Nodu, mwena wa irathĩro rĩa Edeni.
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.
Kaini agĩkoma na mũtumia wake, na akĩgĩa nda, agĩciara Enoku. Hĩndĩ ĩyo Kaini nĩakaga itũũra inene, na aarĩkia kũrĩaka, akĩrĩĩta Enoku o ta ũrĩa mũriũ eetagwo.
18 And he was born to Enoch Irad and Irad he fathered Mehujael and Mehujael he fathered Methushael and Methushael he fathered Lamech.
Nake Enoku agĩciarĩrwo Iradu, nake Iradu aarĩ ithe wa Mehujaeli, nake Mehujaeli aarĩ ithe wa Methushaeli, nake Methushaeli aarĩ ithe wa Lameku.
19 And he took for himself Lamech two wives [the] name of the one [was] Adah and [the] name of the second [was] Zillah.
Lameku ũcio akĩhikia andũ-a-nja eerĩ, ũmwe eetagwo Ada na ũrĩa ũngĩ eetagwo Zila.
20 And she bore Adah Jabal he he was [the] father of dweller[s] of tent and livestock.
Ada agĩciara Jabali; na nĩwe ithe wa andũ arĩa matũũraga hema-inĩ na marĩithagia mahiũ.
21 And [the] name of brother his [was] Jubal he he was [the] father of every player of harp and flute.
Mũrũ-wa nyina eetagwo Jubali; nake nĩwe ithe wa andũ arĩa othe mahũũraga inanda cia mũgeeto na makahuha mĩtũrirũ.
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.
Zila o nake aarĩ na mũriũ, nake eetagwo Tubali-Kaini, na nĩwe waturaga indo cia mĩthemba yothe cia gĩcango na cia kĩgera. Tubali-Kaini aarĩ na mwarĩ wa nyina wetagwo 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.
Lameku akĩĩra atumia ake atĩrĩ, “Ada na Zila, taa thikĩrĩriai; inyuĩ atumia a Lameku, ta iguai ciugo ciakwa. Nĩnjũragĩte mũndũ nĩ ũndũ wa kũndiihia, ngooraga mũndũ mwĩthĩ nĩ ũndũ wa kũnguraria.
24 For sevenfold he will be avenged Cain and Lamech seventy and seven.
Angĩkorwo Kaini arĩhagĩrio maita mũgwanja-rĩ, Lameku nake akarĩhĩrio maita mĩrongo mũgwanja na mũgwanja.”
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.
Nake Adamu agĩkoma na mũtumia wake rĩngĩ, nake agĩciara kaana ga kahĩĩ, na agĩgatua Sethi, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ngai nĩaheete mwana ũngĩ handũ ha Habili, ũrĩa Kaini ooragire.”
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.
Sethi o nake aarĩ na mũriũ wake, nake akĩmũtua rĩĩtwa Enoshu. Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩrĩo andũ mambĩrĩirie gũkaĩra rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova.
