Genesis 4
1 And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bore Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD.
Emesịa, Adam na nwunye ya Iiv dinakọrọ dịka di na nwunye. Iiv tụụrụ ime mụọ nwa nwoke, onye ha gụrụ Ken. Iiv sịrị, “Site nʼinyeaka Onyenwe anyị, amụtala m nwa nwoke!”
2 And she again bore his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.
Emesịa Iiv mụtara nwanne ya nwoke Ebel. Ebel ghọrọ onye na-azụ igwe atụrụ. Ma Ken ghọrọ onye ọrụ ubi.
3 And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering to the LORD.
Mgbe ụfọdụ oge gasịrị, Ken wetaara Onyenwe anyị ụfọdụ ihe ubi ya dịka onyinye.
4 And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of its fat. And the LORD had respect to Abel and to his offering:
Ma Ebel, ya onwe ya nyekwara onyinye site nʼigwe ewu na atụrụ ya e bụ ụzọ mụọ, nke mara abụba. Onyenwe anyị nabatara Ebel na onyinye ya,
5 But to Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very angry, and his countenance fell.
ma ọ nabataghị Ken na onyinye ya. Nke a wutere Ken, mee ka o wee iwe dị ukwuu. Ihu ya agbarụọ.
6 And the LORD said to Cain, Why art thou angry? and why is thy countenance fallen?
Ma Onyenwe anyị jụrụ ya sị, “Gịnị mere i ji ewe iwe? Gịnị mere ihu gị ji gbarụọ?
7 If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And to thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.
Ọ bụrụ na i mee ihe ziri ezi, agaghị anabata gị? Ọ bụrụkwanụ na ị jụ ime ihe ziri ezi, mmehie nọ nʼọnụ ụzọ na-eche gị ịla gị nʼiyi. Lezie anya hụ na i meriri ya.”
8 And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.
Ken gwara nwanne ya Ebel sị, “Bịa soro m ka anyị banye ọhịa.” Mgbe ha nọ nʼebe ahụ, Ken jidere nwanne ya gbuo ya.
9 And the LORD said to Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother’s keeper?
Emesịa, Onyenwe anyị jụrụ Ken ajụjụ sị, “Ebee ka Ebel nwanne gị nwoke nọ?” Ọ zaghachiri, “Amaghị m. Abụ m onye nche nwanne m?”
10 And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother’s blood crieth to me from the ground.
Ma Onyenwe anyị zara sị ya, “Gịnị ka i mere? Gee ntị, ọbara nwanne gị na-akpọku m site nʼala.
11 And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother’s blood from thy hand;
Site ugbu a gaa nʼihu ị bụrụla onye a bụrụ ọnụ, na onye e si nʼala chụpụ, ala ahụ meghepụrụ ọnụ ya nabata ọbara nwanne gị, site nʼaka gị.
12 When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield to thee its strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth.
Mgbe ị kụrụ ihe ọbụla nʼime ya, ala agaghị enye gị mkpụrụ ya nʼuju. Site ugbu a gaa nʼihu, ị ga-abụ onye na-awagharị awagharị na onye na-abaghị nʼihe nʼụwa.”
13 And Cain said to the LORD, My punishment is greater than I can bear.
Ken zara Onyenwe anyị, “Ntaramahụhụ i nyere m dị ukwuu karịa nke m nwere ike ibu.
14 Behold, thou hast driven me this day from the face of the earth; and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass, that any one that findeth me shall slay me.
Ugbu a, abụ m onye i si nʼala ubi ya chụpụ. Abụkwa m onye i si nʼihu gị chụpụ. Bido taa aga m abụ onye na-awagharị awagharị nʼime ụwa. Onye ọbụla hụkwara m ga-egbu m.”
15 And the LORD said to him, Therefore whoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the LORD set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him.
Onyenwe anyị zara sị ya, “O nweghị onye ga-egbu gị, nʼihi na aga m atụkwasịrị onye ọbụla metụrụ gị aka ntaramahụhụ okpukpu asaa karịa nke m nyere gị.” Ya mere, Onyenwe anyị kara Ken akara iji gbochie onye ọbụla hụrụ ya igbu ya.
16 And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.
Ken sitere nʼihu Onyenwe anyị pụọ gaa biri nʼala Nọd, obodo dị nʼakụkụ ọwụwa anyanwụ Iden.
17 And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bore Enoch: and he built a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch.
Ken na nwunye ya dinakọrọ, nwunye ya tụụrụ ime mụta nwa nwoke aha ya bụ Enọk. Nʼoge a, Ken nọ na-ewu otu obodo ọ gụrụ Enọk, nke bụ aha nwa ya nwoke.
18 And to Enoch was born Irad: and Irad begat Mehujael: and Mehujael begat Methusael: and Methusael begat Lamech.
Enọk bụ nna Irad, Irad bụ nna Mehujael, Mehujael bụ nna Metusael, Metusael abụrụ nna Lamek.
19 And Lamech took to him two wives: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah.
Lamek lụrụ ụmụ nwanyị abụọ. Aha nwunye ya nke mbụ bụ Ada. Aha nke ọzọ bụ Zila.
20 And Adah bore Jabal: he was the father of such as dwell in tents, and of such as have cattle.
Ada mụtara Jabal, onye bụ nna ndị na-azụ anụ ụlọ, na ndị na-ebi nʼụlọ ikwu.
21 And his brother’s name was Jubal: he was the father of all such as handle the harp and flute.
Aha nwanne ya nwoke bụ Jubal, onye mbụ bụ nna ndị na-akpọ ụbọ akwara, na ndị na-afụ opi.
22 And Zillah, she also bore Tubalcain, an instructor of every craftsman in brass and iron: and the sister of Tubalcain was Naamah.
Zila, mụtara otu nwa nwoke aha ya bụ Tubal Ken, onye bụ nna ndị niile na-akpụ ihe dị iche iche e ji bronz maọbụ igwe kpụọ. Aha nwanne nwanyị Tubal Ken bụ Naama.
23 And Lamech said to his wives, Adah and Zillah, Hear my voice; ye wives of Lamech, hearken to my speech: for I have slain a man who wounded me, and a young man for hurting me.
Lamek kpọrọ ndị nwunye ya sị ha, “Geenụ m ntị, Ada na Zila, unu ndị nwunye Lamek, nụrụ okwu sị m nʼọnụ. Egbuola m otu nwoke nʼihi na ọ merụrụ m ahụ, otu nwokorobịa nʼihi na ọ mehịara m ahụ.
24 If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, truly Lamech seventy and sevenfold.
Ọ bụrụ na a ga-abọtara Ken ọbọ ugboro asaa, mgbe ahụ, a ga-abọtara Lamek ọbọ iri ugboro asaa na asaa.”
25 And Adam knew his wife again; and she bore a son, and called his name Seth: For God, said she, hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew.
Adam na Iiv dinakọrọ ọzọ, Iiv tụụrụ ime mụta nwa nwoke ọ gụrụ Set. Nʼihi na Iiv kwuru sị, “Chineke enyela m nwa nwoke ọzọ nʼọnọdụ Ebel onye Ken gburu.”
26 And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enos: then began men to call upon the name of the LORD.
Set mụtara nwa nwoke gụọ ya Enọsh. Nʼoge ahụ ka ụmụ mmadụ bidoro ịkpọku aha Onyenwe anyị.
