Genesis 4
1 Adam (had sex/slept) with his wife Eve, and she became pregnant and gave birth to a son whom she named Cain, [which sounds like the word that means ‘produce’], because, she said, “By Yahweh’s help I have produced a son.” Some time later she gave birth to another son, and she named him Abel.
Chujouvin Adam le Eve akitimat lhon in ahile Eve'in nao ahin vopin Cain chu ahung peng tai, hiche'a chun amanu'n hitin aseiye, Pathen phatthei bohna jal in cha pasal khat kanei tai ati.
2 [After those boys grew up], Abel (tended/took care of) sheep and goats, and Cain became a farmer.
Phat chomkhat jou chun Eve chun chapa Abel ahing kit tai, hichun khonung in chapang teni chu ahung khanglen lhon tan, Abel chu kelngoi ching in ahung pang in, Cain vang chu loubol mi ahung hi tan ahi.
3 One day Cain harvested some of the crops he had grown and brought them to Yahweh as a gift for him,
Phat phabep jouvin Cain in alousohga alhun phat in alousohga phabep ahin pon Pathen ading in kilhaina ahung sem tai.
4 and Abel took from his flock some of the first lambs that had been born [and killed them] and, as a gift, gave to Yahweh the fatty parts, [which were the best parts]. Yahweh was pleased with Abel and his offering,
Hitobang ma chun Abel in jong akelngoi lah'a apeng masa athao pen tah khat chu Pathen ading in ahin pedoh tai, Hichun Pathen in Abel lam joh aven athilto jong kipahtah in asanpeh tai.
5 but he was not pleased with Cain and his offering. So Cain became very angry, and his face looked dejected.
Hinlah Pathen in Cain thilto maicham chu asanpeh tapoi, hijeh chun Cain chu hatah in alunghang in akaiku jeng in ahi.
6 Yahweh said to Cain, “(You should not be angry!/Why are you angry?) [RHQ] (You should not scowl like that!/Why do you scowl like that?) [RHQ]
Hihe phat chun Pathen in Cain jah a, “Ibola nangle nang kilunghan nahi ham? chule ibola namai thim jeng a ham?
7 If you had done what was right (OR, if you do what is right) [RHQ], I would accept your offering. But if you do not do what is right, [your desire to] sin [is ready to attack you like a wild animal that] [PRS] crouches outside the doorway, [ready to spring on its victim] [MET]. [Your desire to] sin wants to control you, but you must (control/not obey) it.”
Thilpha bol dinga kilomho chu nabol le na kisan pehda ding ham? Ahin thilpha boldinga kilomho chu na bolnom loule kichih theiyin chonsetnan naval lhum ding ahitai. Hiche hohi na chinpha ding joh ahi,” ati.
8 But one day, Cain said to his younger brother Abel, “Let’s go for a walk in the fields.” [So they went together]. And when they were in the countryside, suddenly Cain attacked Abel and killed him.
Nikhat chu Cain in asopipa Abel jah'a “Eini thinglhang lam'a che hite atin, gamlang agei lhon phat in Cain chu asopipa Abel chunga achun athat tai.”
9 [Later, even though] Yahweh [knew what Cain had done], he said to Cain, “[Do you know] where Abel, your younger brother, is?” Cain replied, “No, I do not know. (My job is not to guard my younger brother!/Am I supposed to take care of my younger brother?)” [RHQ]
Phat chomkhat jouvin, Pakai Pathen in Cain jah a, “Nasopipa Abel hoiya um hitam?” atile Cain'in jong adonbut in, “Kahe poi, Keima hi ka sopi pa Abel ching tup ka him?” ati.
10 Yahweh said, “You have done a terrible thing [RHQ]! So now [it is as though] your younger brother’s voice is crying to me from the ground, demanding that his death must be avenged.
Hichun Pathen in jong Cain jah'a “Ipi nabol hitam? Na sopi pa Abel thisan chu tol'a kon'in keima angsung gei in ahung peng in ahi.
11 You have killed your younger brother, and the ground has soaked up his blood. So now I will expel you from this land and curse your efforts to produce crops.
Hijeh chun tua patna nangma hi leiset chunga sapset na noija uma na hitai, na sopi pa Abel thisan in na chup ahitai.
12 You will till the ground to plant crops, but the ground will produce very few [HYP] crops. And you will continually wander around the earth, and not have any place to live permanently.”
Leiset a kona nangma dinga ga imacha pung ding ahi tapoi, itobang in natong jong leh chun nangman leiseta in mun neilou gamvah mangpa na kiti ding ahi.”
13 Cain replied, “You are punishing me more then I can endure.
Chuphat in Cain chun Pathen henga aseiye, “Keima gotna kachan hi kei thoh jou hoi ahi poi.
14 You are about to expel me from the ground [that I have been cultivating], and I will no longer be able to come (into your presence/and talk with you). Furthermore, I will be continually wandering around the earth with no place to live permanently, and anyone who sees me will kill me.”
Vetan tunin nangma akon in neidel mangtai, nang in leichunga umna neilou neihi sahtai, tua pat'a hi koihijongle eitoh khapen pen chun eitha ding ahi tai.”
15 But Yahweh said to him, “No, that will not happen. I will put a mark on you to warn anyone who sees you that [I will punish him severely if] he kills you. I will punish that person seven times as severely as I am punishing you.” Then Yahweh put a mark on Cain’s forehead.
Pathen in adonbut in, “Ahipoi koi tobang nangma hinkho sumang dinga kigo a aumle keiman ama chunga sagi vei ka phulah ding ahi.” Hichea chun Pathen in Cain chu koiman atha louna ding in Cain chunga melchihna khat akoipeh in ahi.
16 So Cain left Yahweh and went to live in the land called Nod, [which means ‘wandering’], which was east of Eden.
Hichea kon chun Cain in Pathen kom adalhan Eden niso lam a Nod muna chun acheng tai.
17 Some time later, Cain (had sex/slept) with his wife, and she [became pregnant and] gave birth to a son, whom she named Enoch. Then Cain started to build a city, and he named the city ‘Enoch’, the same name that his son had.
Cain chun ajinu aki timatpin ahile nao ahin vop kit tan hiche nao chu Enoch ahi. Chuin Cain in phat phabep jouvin khopi khat ahinsem dohin, achapa min aput sah in hiche khopi min chu Enoch asah tai.
18 Enoch [grew up and married and] became the father of a son whom he named Irad. When Irad [grew up he] became the father of a son whom he named Mehujael. Mehujael [grew up and] became the father of a son whom he named Methuselah. Methuselah [grew up and] became the father of Lamech.
Enoch in chapa Irad ahing in, Irad chun Mehujael ahing in, Mehujael chun Methushael ahing in, Methushael chun Lamech ahing'e.
19 When Lamech [grew up he] married two women. The name of one was Adah and the other was Zillah.
Lamech chun ji numei ni anei jin amasa nu chu ahile Adah ahin chule anina nu chu Zillah ahiye.
20 Adah gave birth to [a son she named] Jabal.
Adah in Jabal ahing in, amahi ahiye, khoilupon in a chenga gancha chingho ding'a apau chu.
21 Later, Jabal was the first person who lived in tents because he traveled from place to place to take care of livestock. His younger brother’s name was Jubal. He was the first person who made/played a (lyre/stringed instrument) and a flute.
Chule asopi pa min chu Jubal ahin, ama chu lathem gosem mut them masa pen ahiye.
22 [Lamech’s other wife] Zillah gave birth to a son whom she named Tubal-Cain. Later Tubal-Cain became a (blacksmith/one who made tools from bronze and iron). Tubal-Cain had a younger sister whose name was Naamah.
Zillah jong chun Tubal-cain ahing in, ama chun manchah ding abonchan sum-eng jong thih jong ahin kheng'e. Chule Tubal-cain chun sopi numei khat anei jin amin Naamah ahi.
23 One day Lamech said to his two wives, “Adah and Zillah, listen carefully to what I am saying. A young man struck me and wounded me, so I killed him.
Chujou vin nikhat chu Lamech chun ajite ni jaha hitin a seiye, “Vo Adah le Zillah ka aw kasei ngai lhon in, ‘Ajeh chu pasal khat in eimavo jeh in ka that'in golhang khat'in eiden jeh-in ka that tai.
24 Yahweh said long ago that he would avenge and punish anyone who killed Cain seven times as much as he punished Cain [for killing his younger brother]. So if anyone [tries to] kill me, I will punish him 77 times as much [as Yahweh punished Cain].”
Koi tabang mikhat in Cain chu atha le sagi vei gotna chang ding ahile keima hinkho lading koi tobang aumle som sagi vei gotna chang ding joh ahiye.”
25 Adam continued to (have sex/sleep) with [EUP] his wife, and she [became pregnant and] gave birth to another son, whom she named Seth, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘given’], because, she said, “God has given me another child to take the place of Abel, since Cain killed him.”
Chuin Adam chun ajinu akitimat pikit in ahile amanun chapa khat ahing kit in, amin Seth asah tai; ijeh inem itile amanun hitin aseiye, “Pathen in chapa eipeh kit hi Abel khel a ei kipe ah ahi, ajeh chu Cain thapa khel ding in eipe tai,” ati.
26 When Seth grew up, he became the father of a son whom he named Enosh. About that time people began to worship Yahweh [again].
Seth chu mipi lhing ahung hiphat in chapa khat aneiyin amin Enosh asah-e. Hiche apat chun mipi hon Pathen chu amin pan in ahou pan tauvin ahi.
