< 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.
Nandrèndreke i Haova, vali’e t’i Dame, le nivesatse naho nisamake i Kàine vaho nanao ty hoe: Nahazoako lahilahy t’Iehovà.
2 And she again bore his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.
Nisamake indraike re, le i Hèbele zai’e. Nimpihare añondry t’i Hèbele le nimpiava tane t’i Kàine.
3 And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering to the LORD.
Ie te indraike, nibanabana ty lengom-boñe’ i taney am’ Iehovà t’i Kàine,
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:
le ninday ty valohan’ ana’ o hare’eo naho ty sabora’e t’i Hèbele. Aa le nitoliha’ Iehovà t’i Hèbele naho i banabana’ey,
5 But to Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.
fe tsy hinao’e t’i Kàine naho i enga’ey. Niforoforo ami’ty habose’e amy zao t’i Kàine vaho nilonjom-bintañe
6 And the LORD said to Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen?
Inoñe ty iviñera’o hoe t’Iehovà amy Kàine vaho ino ty mahalonjets’ azo?
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.
Tsy hiampokòfañe hao irehe naho toloñe’o ty hiti’e? Aa naho tsy soa ty anoe’o le mangonònoke anjili-dalañe ao ty hakeo milelalela te hahazo azo, f’ie feheo.
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.
Nifanaontsy amy Hèbele rahalahi’e t’i Kàine, aa ie nimb’an-teteke mb’ eo, niambotraha’ i Kàine t’i Hèbele naho nañohofa’e loza.
9 And the LORD said to Cain, Where [is] Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: [Am] I my brother's keeper?
Aa le hoe t’Iehovà amy Kàine, Aia t’i Hèbele rahalahi’o? Tsy fantako, hoe re, mpiambeñ’ an-drahalahiko hao iraho?
10 And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth to me from the ground.
Hoe re: Ino o nanoe’oo? Inao! mitoreo amako boak’ an-tane ao ty feon-dion-drahalahi’o;
11 And now [art] thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand;
le fa nafà’ i taney irehe henane zao, ie nanoka-bava handrambe an-taña’o i lion-drahalahi’oy.
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.
Aa ie miava tane henane zao le tsy hafoe’e ama’o ty haozara’e; ie ho mpirererere naho mpitralantralañe an-tane atoy.
13 And Cain said to the LORD, My punishment [is] greater than I can bear.
Hoe t’i Kàine am’ Iehovà, Tsy leoko babeñe o fandilovañe ahio;
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.
anindroany irehe nanao soik’ ahy amo tarehe’ ty tane toio, naho hampietaheñe amy lahara’oy iraho, le ho mpiriorio naho mpirererere an-tane atoy, vaho songa hañoho-doza amako ze mifanojeha amako.
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.
Le hoe t’Iehovà ama’e, Aiy! ho valeñe im-pito ze mamono i Kàine; vaho namiloñe i Kàine t’i Andrianañahare tsy ho vonoe’ ze hifanalaka ama’e.
16 And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.
Aa le nienga boak’ añatrefa’ Iehovà t’i Kàine, noly an-tane Rererere, atiñana’ i Edene añe.
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.
Nifohi’ i Kàine ty vali’e, le niareñe, nisamake i Kanòke; ie nañoren-drova vaho nitokave’e ami’ty añara’ i Kanoke ana’e.
18 And to Enoch was born Irad: and Irad begat Mehujael: and Mehujael begat Methusael: and Methusael begat Lamech.
Nisamake Irade t’i Kanoke; le nisamak’ i Mehojaèle t’Irade le nisamak’ i Metosaele t’i Mehojaèle vaho nisamake i Lemeke t’i Metosaele.
19 And Lamech took to him two wives: the name of the one [was] Adah, and the name of the other Zillah.
Nampirafe roe t’i Lemeke; le natao ty hoe Adae ty raike naho i Zilae ty raike.
20 And Adah bore Jabal: he was the father of such as dwell in tents, and [of such as have] cattle.
Nisamake Iabale t’i Adae; ie ty raem-pimoneñe an-kibohotse naho mpihare.
21 And his brother's name [was] Jubal: he was the father of all such as handle the harp and organ.
Natao Iobale ty rahalahi’e, ie ty rae’ o mpititike kararàke naho solio.
22 And Zillah, she also bore Tubalcain, an instructor of every artificer in brass and iron: and the sister of Tubalcain [was] Naamah.
Nisamake i Tobale-kaine t’i Zilae, ie ty nitsene ze hene haraotse torisìke naho viñe. I Naamae ty rahavave’ i Tobale-kaine.
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.
Hoe t’i Lemek’ amo vali’eo: Tsanoño ty feoko ry Adae naho Zilae; Ry vali’ i Lemekeo: mitsendreña o entakoo: Vinonoko t’indaty nandratse ahy, naho ty ajalahy nandafa ahiko.
24 If Cain shall be avenged seven-fold, truly Lamech seventy and seven-fold.
Aa naho i Kàine ro valeañe im-pito, Le toe impitompolo fito amby ka t’i Lemeke.
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.
Nifohi’ i Dame indraike i vali’ey, le nisamak’ ana-dahy vaho natao’e Sete ty añara’e, fa hoe i rakembay: Fa nanendre anake ho ahy t’i Andrianañahare handimbe i Hèbele vinono’ i Kàine.
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.
Nahatoly anake ka t’i Sete, le natao’e Enose ty añara’e. Nifototse amy zay te nikanjy ty tahina’ Iehovà ondatio. izay ty takelam-piantoño’ i Dame.
