< 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.
Adam nobedo e achiel gi chiege Hawa kendo nomako ich mi nonywolo Kain mowacho niya, “Kuom ngʼwono mar Jehova Nyasaye asenywolo wuowi.”
2 And she again bore his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.
Bangʼe nonywolo owadgi miluongi ni Abel. Abel ne en jakwadh jamni to Kain ne en japur.
3 And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering to the LORD.
Bangʼ ndalo moko Kain nokelo nyak mag lowo kaka misango ne Jehova Nyasaye.
4 And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock, and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect to Abel, and to his offering:
To Abel nokelo ringʼo machwe koa kuom achiel mag jambe makayo. Jehova Nyasaye noyie gi Abel kod misango mare,
5 But to Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.
to Kain kod misango mare to ne ok oyiego. Kuom mano Kain mirima nomako kendo wangʼe nojuol.
6 And the LORD said to Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen?
Eka Jehova Nyasaye nopenjo Kain niya, “Angʼo ma omiyo in-gi mirima? Angʼo ma omiyo wangʼi ojuol?
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.
Kitimo maber donge diyieni? To ka itimo marach to richo okichore e dhoodi, kendo ogomboni mondo okawi, to in nyaka iloye.”
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.
Eka Kain nowacho ne owadgi Abel niya, “Wadhi waba e pap oko.” To kane gin e pap, Kain nogoyo owadgi ma Abel mi onege.
9 And the LORD said to Cain, Where [is] Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: [Am] I my brother's keeper?
Eka Jehova Nyasaye nopenjo Kain niya, “Ere owadu Abel?” Nodwoke niya, “Ok angʼeyo. An jakwadhe?”
10 And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth to me from the ground.
Jehova Nyasaye nowachone niya, “Isetimo angʼoni? Winji! Remb owadu ywakna koa e lowo.
11 And now [art] thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand;
Omiyo koro in e bwo kwongʼ kendo oseriembi e piny mosengʼamo dhoge mondo omwony remb owadu koa e lweti.
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.
Ka ipuro lowo, to ok obi nyagoni cham. Ibiro bedo ngʼat maonge kar dak mabayo abaya e piny.”
13 And Cain said to the LORD, My punishment [is] greater than I can bear.
Kain nowacho ne Jehova Nyasaye niya, “Kum mi miyano ohinga.
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 will come to pass, [that] every one that findeth me will slay me.
Kawuono iseriemba e lowo kendo ibiro pandona wangʼi; abiro bet ngʼat maonge kar dak mabayo abaya e piny kendo ngʼato angʼata moyuda nonega.”
15 And the LORD said to him, Therefore whoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him seven-fold. And the lord set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him.
To Jehova Nyasaye nowachone niya, “Ok kamano, ka ngʼato onegi, nochul ne kuor nyadibiriyo moloyo.” Eka Jehova Nyasaye noketo ranyisi kuom Kain mondo ngʼato moromo kode kik nege.
16 And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.
Omiyo Kain noa e nyim Jehova Nyasaye kendo nodak e piny Nod, mantie yo wuok chiengʼ mar Eden.
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.
Kain nobedoe achiel gi chiege mi chiege nomako ich kendo nonywolo Enok. Noyudo Kain gero dala maduongʼ kendo nochako dalano nying wuode ma Enok.
18 And to Enoch was born Irad: and Irad begat Mehujael: and Mehujael begat Methusael: and Methusael begat Lamech.
Enok nonywolo Irad: Kendo Irad ema ne wuon Mehujael, kendo Mehujael nonywolo Methushael kendo Methushael nonywolo Lamek.
19 And Lamech took to him two wives: the name of the one [was] Adah, and the name of the other Zillah.
Lamek nokendo mon ariyo, achiel ne nyinge Ada to machielo Zila.
20 And Adah bore Jabal: he was the father of such as dwell in tents, and [of such as have] cattle.
Ada nonywolo Jabal, mane wuon jokwath mane odak e hembe kendo ne nigi jamni.
21 And his brother's name [was] Jubal: he was the father of all such as handle the harp and organ.
Owadgi ne nyinge Jubal, ma en ema nokwongo chako goyo thumbe mag nyatiti gi asili.
22 And Zillah, she also bore Tubalcain, an instructor of every artificer in brass and iron: and the sister of Tubalcain [was] Naamah.
Zila bende nonywolo wuowi ma nyinge Jubal-Kain, mane jatheth chumbe duto mag mula kod nyinyo. Nyamin Tubal-Kain nyinge ne 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 to my wounding, and a young man to my hurt.
Lamek nowachone monde ariyo-ka niya, “Ada kod Zila, winjauru, un monda winjuru wechena. Asenego ngʼato, nikech nogoya, wuowi matin nikech nohinya.
24 If Cain shall be avenged seven-fold, truly Lamech seventy and seven-fold.
Ka Kain ochulne kuor nyadibiriyo to kara Lamek to nochul ne kuor nyadi piero abiriyo gabiriyo.”
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 nobedoe achiel gi chiege, kendo chiege nonywolo wuowi mi nochake ni Seth, mowacho niya, “Nyasaye osemiya nyathi machielo kar Abel mane Kain onego.”
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.
Seth bende nonywolo wuowi, kendo nochake ni Enosh. E ndalono ema ne ji ochako luongo nying Jehova Nyasaye.
