< Genesis 4 >
1 The man knew Eve his wife. She conceived, and gave birth to Cain, and said, “I have gotten a man with the LORD’s help.”
Na Adam el ona yurin mutan kial, ac mutan sac pitutuyak. El oswela wen se ac fahk, “LEUM GOD El kasreyu ac se wen se nutik.” Ouinge el sang inel Cain.
2 Again she gave birth, to Cain’s brother Abel. Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.
Tok el oswela pac wen se, Abel. Abel el mwet liyaung sheep, a Cain el mwet ima se.
3 As time passed, Cain brought an offering to the LORD from the fruit of the ground.
In kutu pacl tok, Cain el use kutu fokin ima lal, ac sang tuh in mwe kisa nu sin LEUM GOD.
4 Abel also brought some of the firstborn of his flock and of its fat. The LORD respected Abel and his offering,
Na Abel el use sheep fusr soko ma osweyukla oemeet sin soko sheep natul. El uniya ac sang ip ma wo emeet kac in mwe kisa. LEUM GOD El insewowo sel Abel ac ke mwe kisa lal,
5 but he didn’t respect Cain and his offering. Cain was very angry, and the expression on his face fell.
a El tia insewowo sel Cain ac mwe kisa lal. Cain el arulana foloyak, ac ngetnget toasr ke kasrkusrak lal.
6 The LORD said to Cain, “Why are you angry? Why has the expression of your face fallen?
Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Cain, “Efu ku kom kasrkusrak? Efu kom srasrol?
7 If you do well, won’t it be lifted up? If you don’t do well, sin crouches at the door. Its desire is for you, but you are to rule over it.”
Kom funu oru ma wo, kom lukun israsr na. A ke koluk ma kom oru an, na ma koluk uh tawi kom na in sruokkomi. El kena leumi kom, tusruktu kom enenu in kutangulla.”
8 Cain said to Abel, his brother, “Let’s go into the field.” While they were in the field, Cain rose up against Abel, his brother, and killed him.
Na Cain el fahk nu sel Abel, tamulel lal, “Fahsru kital som nu inima uh.” Ke pacl se eltal sun inima uh, na Cain el forang nu sel Abel ac unilya.
9 The LORD said to Cain, “Where is Abel, your brother?” He said, “I don’t know. Am I my brother’s keeper?”
LEUM GOD El siyuk sel Cain, “El aya Abel, tamulel lom?” El topuk, “Nga nikin. Mea, nga mwet in liyaung tamulel luk uh?”
10 The LORD said, “What have you done? The voice of your brother’s blood cries to me from the ground.
Na LEUM GOD El fahk, “Efu ku kom oru ma na koluk se inge? Srahn tamulel lom pa wowoyak nu sik infohk uh me, oana sie pusra ma sukok foloksak.
11 Now you are cursed because of the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand.
Inge kom oan ye sie selnga ac kom fah tia ku in sifilpa imai fohk uh. Fohk uh numwani srahn tamulel lom, oana sie oalu su mangelik soano in numla srahl ke pacl se kom unilya ah.
12 From now on, when you till the ground, it won’t yield its strength to you. You will be a fugitive and a wanderer in the earth.”
Kom fin srike in yok sacn, infohk uh ac fah tia oswe kutena ma. Ac fah wangin acn sum, ac kom fah forfor pukafukwel fin faclu.”
13 Cain said to the LORD, “My punishment is greater than I can bear.
Ac Cain el fahk nu sin LEUM GOD, “Kalya se inge arulana upala nu sik.
14 Behold, you have driven me out today from the surface of the ground. I will be hidden from your face, and I will be a fugitive and a wanderer in the earth. Whoever finds me will kill me.”
Kom lisyula liki acn uh in som loesla liki ye motom. Nga fah sie mwet wangin acn se, takusrkusr fin faclu, ac kutena mwet fin koneyuyak ac uniyuwi.”
15 The LORD said to him, “Therefore whoever slays Cain, vengeance will be taken on him sevenfold.” The LORD appointed a sign for Cain, so that anyone finding him would not strike him.
Tusruktu LEUM GOD El fahk, “Mo. Mwet se fin unikomi, moul lun mwet itkosr fah itukla in aolkomla.” Ke ma inge LEUM GOD El filiya sie akul facl Cain in akesmakinye kutena mwet su sonol in tia unilya.
16 Cain left the LORD’s presence, and lived in the land of Nod, east of Eden.
Ac Cain el som liki ye mutun LEUM GOD ac muta in acn se pangpang “Nod,” su oan kutulap in acn Eden.
17 Cain knew his wife. She conceived, and gave birth to Enoch. He built a city, and named the city after the name of his son, Enoch.
Oasr wen se natul Cain ac mutan kial, ac eltal sang inel Enoch. Na Cain el musaela siti se ac sang inen wen se natul ah nu kac.
18 Irad was born to Enoch. Irad became the father of Mehujael. Mehujael became the father of Methushael. Methushael became the father of Lamech.
Oasr wen se natul Enoch, inel pa Irad, su papa tumal Mehujael. Ac wen se natul Mehujael pa Methushael, su papa tumal Lamech.
19 Lamech took two wives: the name of the first one was Adah, and the name of the second one was Zillah.
Oasr mutan luo kial Lamech, eltal pa Adah ac Zillah.
20 Adah gave birth to Jabal, who was the father of those who dwell in tents and have livestock.
Adah el oswella Jabal, su papa matu tumun mwet tohf kosro ac muta in lohm nuknuk.
21 His brother’s name was Jubal, who was the father of all who handle the harp and pipe.
Tamulel se lal Jabal pa Jubal, ac el papa tumun mwet orek on nukewa su srital ke mwe on harp ac flute.
22 Zillah also gave birth to Tubal Cain, the forger of every cutting instrument of bronze and iron. Tubal Cain’s sister was Naamah.
Zillah el oswella Tubal Cain, sie mwet su oru kain in kufwen sroasr nukewa ke osra bronze ac iron. Tamtael se lal Tubal Cain pa Naamah.
23 Lamech said to his wives, “Adah and Zillah, hear my voice. You wives of Lamech, listen to my speech, for I have slain a man for wounding me, a young man for bruising me.
Lamech el fahk nu sin mutan luo kial, “Adah ac Zillah, porongeyu: Nga uniya mwet fusr se mweyen el tuh puokyuwi.
24 If Cain will be avenged seven times, truly Lamech seventy-seven times.”
Moul lun mwet itkosr fin itukla in aol misa lal Cain, Na mwet itngoul itkosr ac fah itukla moul la, mwet se fin uniyuwi.”
25 Adam knew his wife again. She gave birth to a son, and named him Seth, saying, “for God has given me another child instead of Abel, for Cain killed him.”
Adam ac mutan kial oswela sie pac wen. Na mutan sac fahk, “God El sifilpa ase wen se nutik in aolulla Abel, su Cain el uniya.” Ke ma inge el sang inel Seth.
26 A son was also born to Seth, and he named him Enosh. At that time men began to call on the LORD’s name.
Oasr pac wen se natul Seth, ac el sang inel Enosh. In pacl sac me pa mwet uh mutawauk in orekmakin ine mutal lun LEUM GOD ke alu lalos.
