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.
A IKE aku la o Adamu i kana wahine ia Eva; hapai ae la oia, a hanau mai la ia I Kaina, i mai la, Ua loaa no ia'u he kanaka no Iehova mai.
2 [After those boys grew up], Abel (tended/took care of) sheep and goats, and Cain became a farmer.
Hanau hou iho la oia i kona kaikaina ia Abela. He kahuhipa o Abela, a he mahiai o Kaina.
3 One day Cain harvested some of the crops he had grown and brought them to Yahweh as a gift for him,
Mahope iho o na la, lawe aku la o Kaina i kekahi hua o ka honua i mohai na Iehova.
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,
Lawe aku la hoi o Abela i kekahi o na hanau mua o kana poe hipa, i na mea momona hoi. A maliu mai la o Iehova ia Abela a me kana mohai:
5 but he was not pleased with Cain and his offering. So Cain became very angry, and his face looked dejected.
Aka, aole ia i maliu mai ia Kaina a me kana mohai. Huhu loa iho la o Kaina, a kulou iho la kona maka ilalo.
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]
I mai la o Iehova ia Kaina, Heaha kau i huhu ai? No ke aha hoi i kulou iho ai kou maka ilalo!
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.”
A i hana pono oe, aole anei oe e maliuia'ku? a i ole oe e hana i ka pono, ke waiho la ka mohai hala ma ka puka. A ia oe no ko ia la makemake, a e alii iho oe maluna ona.
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.
Kamailio ae la o Kaina me kona kaikaina, me Abela: a ia laua ma ka waena, ku ae la o Kaina me ke ku e i kona kaikaina ia Abela, pepehi iho la ia ia a make.
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]
Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Kaina, Auhea la o Abela o kou kaikaina! I aku la oia, Aole au i ike: owau anei ke kahu o kuu kaikaina!
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.
I mai la kela, Heaha kau i hana iho net? ke hea mai nei ka leo o ke koko o kou kaikaina ia'u mai ka lepo mai.
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.
Ma keia hone aku, e hoohewaia'ku ai oe mai ka honua ae, i hamama ae kona waha e ale i ke koko o kou kaikaina, na kou lima aku.
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.”
I kou mahi ana i ka honua, aole ia e hua mai ma keia hope i kona momona: a e lilo hoi oe i kanaka aea a me ke kuewa wale maluna o ka honua.
13 Cain replied, “You are punishing me more then I can endure.
I aku la o Kaina ia Iehova, He nui loa kuu hewa: aole paha ia e hiki ke kalaia.
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.”
Aia hoi, ua kipaku aku oe ia'u i keia la mai ke alo aku o ka honua nei; a ua hookaawaleia au mai kou alo aku; a e lilo ana au i kanaka aea me ke kuewa wale maluna o ka honua; a i loaa au i kekahi, e pepehi mai ia ia'u a make.
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.
I mai la o Iehova ia ia, Nolaila, o ka mea nana e pepehi ia Kaina, e pahiku ka hoopai ana i kona hewa. A kau iho la o Iehova i hoailona maluna o Kaina, o loaa ia i kekahi nana ia e pepehi aku a make.
16 So Cain left Yahweh and went to live in the land called Nod, [which means ‘wandering’], which was east of Eden.
Hele aku la o Kaina mai ke alo aku o Iehova, a noho iho la ma ka aina o Noda, ma ka hikina o Edena.
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.
Ike aku la o Kaina i kana wahine; hapai ae la oia, a hanau mai la ia Enoka: kukulu iho la oia i kulanakauhale, a kapa iho la i ka inoa o ua kulanakauhale la, mamuli o ka inoa o kana keiki, o Enoka.
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.
Na Enoka hoi i hanau mai o Irada: na Irada hoi o Mehuiaela: na Mehuiaela o Metusaela: na Metusaela o Lameka.
19 When Lamech [grew up he] married two women. The name of one was Adah and the other was Zillah.
Lawe ae la o Lameka i na wahine elua nana: o Ada ka inoa o kekahi, a o Zila ka inoa o kekahi.
20 Adah gave birth to [a son she named] Jabal.
Na Ada i hanau mai o Iabala: o ka makamua ia o ka poe noho halelewa, a o ka hanai holoholona.
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.
A o Iubala ka inoa o kona kaikaina: o ka makamua ia o ka poe a pau i hookani i ka lira a me ka ohe.
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.
A o Zila, hanau mai no hoi nana o Tubalakaina, oia ke kumu a na paahana a pau e kui ana i ke keleawe a me Ka hao: a o Naama ke kaikuwahine o Tubalakaina.
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.
I aku la o Lameka i na wahine ana, ia Ada, laua o Zila, E hoolohe mai olua i ko'u leo; e na wahine a Lameka, e haliu mai i ka'u olelo: no ka mea, ua pepehi iho la au i ke kanaka no ka hoeha ana mai ia'u, i ke kanaka opiopio no ka paopao ana mai ia'u.
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].”
Ina paha e pahiku ka hoopai ana no Kama, he oiaio no, e pakanahiku me kumamahiku hoi ia no Lameka.
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.”
Ike hou iho la o Adamu i kana wahine; a hanau mai la ia he keikikane, a kapa aku la i kona inoa o I Seta: No ka mea, ua haawi mai la ke Akua i ka hua hou na'u, wahi ana, i panihakahaka no Abela i pepehiia e Kaina.
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].
Na Seta hoi i hanau kekahi keikikane; a kapa iho ia i kona inoa o Enosa: ia manawa ka hoomaka ana o na kanaka e kahea aku i ka inoa o Iehova.
