Genesis 4
1 The man knew Eve his wife. She conceived, and gave birth to Cain, and said, “I have gotten a man with Yahweh’s help.”
Adamu sì bá aya rẹ̀ Efa lòpọ̀, ó sì lóyún, ó sì bí Kaini. Ó wí pé, “Pẹ̀lú ìrànlọ́wọ́ Olúwa ni mo bí ọmọ ọkùnrin.”
2 Again she gave birth, to Cain’s brother Abel. Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.
Lẹ́yìn náà, ó sì bí ọmọkùnrin mìíràn tí a pè ní Abeli. Abeli jẹ́ darandaran, Kaini sì jẹ́ àgbẹ̀.
3 As time passed, Cain brought an offering to Yahweh from the fruit of the ground.
Ó sì ṣe lẹ́yìn ìgbà díẹ̀, Kaini mú ọrẹ wá fún Olúwa nínú èso ilẹ̀ rẹ̀.
4 Abel also brought some of the firstborn of his flock and of its fat. Yahweh respected Abel and his offering,
Ṣùgbọ́n Abeli mú ẹran tí ó sanra wá fún Olúwa nínú àkọ́bí ẹran ọ̀sìn rẹ̀. Olúwa sì fi ojúrere wo Abeli àti ọrẹ rẹ̀,
5 but he didn’t respect Cain and his offering. Cain was very angry, and the expression on his face fell.
ṣùgbọ́n Olúwa kò fi ojúrere wo Kaini àti ẹbọ rẹ̀. Nítorí náà inú bí Kaini gidigidi, ojú rẹ̀ sì fàro.
6 Yahweh said to Cain, “Why are you angry? Why has the expression of your face fallen?
Nígbà náà ni Olúwa bi Kaini pé, “Èéṣe tí ìwọ ń bínú? Èéṣe tí ojú rẹ sì fàro?
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.”
Bí ìwọ bá ṣe ohun tí ó tọ́, ṣé ìwọ kò ní jẹ́ ìtẹ́wọ́gbà? Ṣùgbọ́n bí ìwọ kò bá ṣe ohun tí ó tọ́, ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ ń bẹ ní ẹnu-ọ̀nà rẹ, ó fẹ́ ní ọ ní ìní, ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ gbọdọ̀ ṣe àkóso rẹ̀.”
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.
Kaini wí fún Abeli arákùnrin rẹ̀ pé, “Jẹ́ kí a lọ sí oko.” Ó sì ṣe, bí wọ́n ti wà ní oko; Kaini da ojú ìjà kọ Abeli arákùnrin rẹ̀, ó sì pa á.
9 Yahweh said to Cain, “Where is Abel, your brother?” He said, “I don’t know. Am I my brother’s keeper?”
Nígbà náà ni Olúwa béèrè lọ́wọ́ Kaini pé, “Níbo ni Abeli arákùnrin rẹ wà?” Ó sì dáhùn pé, “Èmi kò mọ ibi tí ó wà, èmí ha ń ṣe olùṣọ́ arákùnrin mi bí?”
10 Yahweh said, “What have you done? The voice of your brother’s blood cries to me from the ground.
Olúwa wí pé, “Kín ni ohun tí ìwọ ṣe yìí? Gbọ́! Ẹ̀jẹ̀ arákùnrin rẹ ń kígbe pè mí láti ilẹ̀ wá.
11 Now you are cursed because of the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand.
Láti ìsinsin yìí lọ, ìwọ ti wà lábẹ́ ègún, a sì ti lé ọ lórí ilẹ̀ tí ó ya ẹnu gba ẹ̀jẹ̀ arákùnrin rẹ lọ́wọ́ rẹ.
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.”
Bí ìwọ bá ro ilẹ̀, ilẹ̀ kì yóò fi agbára rẹ̀ so èso rẹ̀ fún ọ mọ́. Ìwọ yóò sì jẹ́ ìsáǹsá àti alárìnkiri ni orí ilẹ̀ ayé.”
13 Cain said to Yahweh, “My punishment is greater than I can bear.
Kaini wí fún Olúwa pé, “Ẹrù ìyà ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ mi pọ̀ ju èyí tí mo le rù lọ.
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.”
Lónìí, ìwọ lé mi kúrò lórí ilẹ̀, mó sì di ẹni tí ó fi ara pamọ́ kúrò ní ojú rẹ, èmi yóò sì di ìsáǹsá àti alárìnkiri ní ayé, ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá rí mi, yóò sì pa mí.”
15 Yahweh said to him, “Therefore whoever slays Cain, vengeance will be taken on him sevenfold.” Yahweh appointed a sign for Cain, so that anyone finding him would not strike him.
Ṣùgbọ́n, Olúwa wí fún pé, “Bẹ́ẹ̀ kọ́, bí ẹnikẹ́ni bá pa Kaini, èmi yóò gbẹ̀san ní ara onítọ̀hún ní ìgbà méje.” Nígbà náà ni Ọlọ́run fi àmì sí ara Kaini, kí ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá ri má ba à pa á.
16 Cain left Yahweh’s presence, and lived in the land of Nod, east of Eden.
Kaini sì kúrò níwájú Olúwa, ó sì ń gbé ilẹ̀ Nodi ní ìhà ìlà-oòrùn Edeni.
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.
Kaini sì bá aya rẹ̀ lòpọ̀, ó sì lóyún, ó sì bí Enoku. Kaini sì tẹ ìlú kan dó, ó sì fi orúkọ ọmọ rẹ̀ ọkùnrin Enoku sọ ìlú náà.
18 Irad was born to Enoch. Irad became the father of Mehujael. Mehujael became the father of Methushael. Methushael became the father of Lamech.
Enoku sì bí Iradi, Iradi sì ni baba Mehujaeli, Mehujaeli sì bí Metuṣaeli, Metuṣaeli sì ni baba Lameki.
19 Lamech took two wives: the name of the first one was Adah, and the name of the second one was Zillah.
Lameki sì fẹ́ aya méjì, orúkọ èkínní ni Adah, àti orúkọ èkejì ni Silla.
20 Adah gave birth to Jabal, who was the father of those who dwell in tents and have livestock.
Adah sì bí Jabali, òun ni baba irú àwọn tí ń gbé inú àgọ́, tí wọ́n sì ń sin ẹran ọ̀sìn.
21 His brother’s name was Jubal, who was the father of all who handle the harp and pipe.
Orúkọ arákùnrin rẹ̀ ni Jubali, òun ni baba irú àwọn tí ń tẹ dùùrù tí wọ́n sì ń fọn fèrè.
22 Zillah also gave birth to Tubal Cain, the forger of every cutting instrument of bronze and iron. Tubal Cain’s sister was Naamah.
Silla náà sì bí ọmọkùnrin tí ń jẹ́ Tubali-Kaini, tí ó ń rọ oríṣìíríṣìí ohun èlò láti ara idẹ àti irin. Arábìnrin Tubali-Kaini ni Naama.
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.
Lameki wí fún àwọn aya rẹ̀, “Adah àti Silla, ẹ tẹ́tí sí mi; ẹ̀yin aya Lameki, ẹ gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ mi. Mo ti pa ọkùnrin kan tí ó kọlù mí, ọ̀dọ́mọkùnrin tí ó pa mí lára.
24 If Cain will be avenged seven times, truly Lamech seventy-seven times.”
Bí a ó bá gbẹ̀san Kaini ní ìgbà méje, ǹjẹ́ kí a gba ti Lameki nígbà mẹ́tàdínlọ́gọ́rin.”
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.”
Adamu sì tún bá aya rẹ̀ lòpọ̀, ó sì bí ọmọkùnrin kan tí ó pe orúkọ rẹ̀ ní Seti, tí ó túmọ̀ sí pé, “Ọlọ́run fún mi ní ọmọkùnrin mìíràn ní ipò Abeli tí Kaini pa.”
26 A son was also born to Seth, and he named him Enosh. At that time men began to call on Yahweh’s name.
Seti náà sì bí ọmọkùnrin kan, ó sì pe orúkọ rẹ̀ ní Enoṣi. Láti àkókò náà lọ ni àwọn ènìyàn ti bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí ní ké pe orúkọ Olúwa.
