Mose 1 4
1 Adam dɔ kple srɔ̃a, Eva, eye wòfɔ fu dzi Kain. Eva gblɔ be, “To Yehowa ƒe amenuveve me la, medzi ŋutsu.”
UAdamu wasemazi uEva umkakhe; wasethatha isisu, wabeletha uKhayini, wasesithi: Ngizuze indoda eNkosini.
2 Eva gadzi ŋutsuvi bubu, eye wòna ŋkɔe be Abel. Abel nye lãnyila, eye Kain nye agbledela.
Wasebuya ebeletha umfowabo uAbela. UAbela wasesiba ngumelusi wezimvu, loKhayini waba ngumlimi womhlabathi.
3 Le nuŋeɣi la, Kain tsɔ eƒe agblemenukuwo sa vɔ na Yehowa,
Kwasekusithi ekupheleni kwezinsuku uKhayini waletha eNkosini umnikelo owesithelo somhlabathi.
4 eye Abel hã tsɔ eƒe alẽvi damitɔ sa vɔ nɛ. Yehowa xɔ Abel ƒe vɔsa,
LoAbela, waletha laye emazibulweni ezimvu zakhe lakwezinonileyo zawo; iNkosi yasinaka uAbela lomnikelo wakhe.
5 gake mexɔ Kain tɔ o. Nu sia na Kain xa nu, eye wòdo dɔmedzoe heɖo adã.
Kodwa uKhayini lomnikelo wakhe kayiwunakanga. UKhayini wasethukuthela kakhulu, lobuso bakhe banyukubala.
6 Yehowa bia Kain be, “Nu ka ta nèdo dɔmedzoe vevie, eye nèyɔ mo ɖo?
INkosi yasisithi kuKhayini: Uthukutheleleni, njalo kungani ubuso bakho bunyukubele?
7 Wò mo ate ŋu akɔ kple dzidzɔ ne ɖe nèwɔ nu si wòle be nàwɔ la! Ke esi nèwɔ vɔ̃ ta la, nu vɔ̃ le wò ʋɔtru nu le lalawòm be yeaɖu dziwò. Ke dze agbagba be nàɖu edzi!”
Angithi uba usenza kuhle, kuyemukeleka yini? Kodwa uba ungenzi kuhle, isono siyacathama emnyango, lokunxwanela kwakhe kukuwe, kodwa wena uzambusa.
8 Gbe ɖeka la, Kain gblɔ na nɔvia, Abel be, “Na míayi gbedzi.” Esi woyi gbea dzi la, Kain wu nɔvia, Abel.
UKhayini wasekhuluma loAbela umfowabo; kwasekusithi besegangeni, uKhayini wasukela umfowabo uAbela wambulala.
9 Emegbe la, Yehowa bia Kain be, “Afi ka nɔviwò, Abel le?” Kain ɖo eŋu be, “Nyemenya o. Nɔvinyeŋudzɔlae menyea?”
INkosi yasisithi kuKhayini: Ungaphi uAbela umfowenu? Wasesithi: Angazi; ngingumlondolozi womfowethu yini?
10 Yehowa gblɔ nɛ be, “Nu kae nye esi nèwɔ? Kpɔ ɖa, nɔviwò ƒe ʋu do ɣli tso anyigba dzi va ɖo gbɔnye na hlɔ̃biabia.
Yasisithi: Wenzeni? Ilizwi legazi lomfowenu liyakhala kimi livela emhlabathini.
11 Ke fifia fiƒode le dziwò, eye menya wò ɖa tso anyigba si nèdo gui kple nɔviwò ƒe ʋu la dzi.
Khathesi-ke uqalekisiwe emhlabeni okhamise umlomo wawo ukwemukela igazi lomfowenu esandleni sakho.
12 Anyigba maganyo nuku na wò o, ne èku kutri le edzi vevie gɔ̃ hã! Azɔ la, àzu tsaglãlatsala kple godzela le anyigba dzi.”
Nxa ulima umhlabathi, kawusayikukunika amandla awo; uzakuba luzulane lomhambuma emhlabeni.
13 Kain ɖo eŋu na Yehowa be, “Nye tohehe kpe wu tsɔtsɔ nam,
UKhayini wasesithi eNkosini: Isijeziso sami sikhulu kulengingakuthwala.
14 elabena ènyam ɖa tso nye agble kple wò ŋutɔ gbɔ, èwɔm tsaglãlatsala kple godzela, eye ame sia ame si akpɔm la, adi be yeawum.”
Khangela, ungixotshile lamuhla ebusweni bomhlaba, njalo ngizacatshiswa ebusweni bakho; sengizakuba luzulane lomhambuma emhlabeni; njalo kuzakuthi wonke ongificayo uzangibulala.
15 Yehowa gblɔ nɛ be, “Womawu wò o, elabena mada wò tohehe teƒe adre ɖe ame si awu wò la dzi.” Ale Yehowa de dzesi tɔxɛ Kain ŋu si ana be ame aɖeke mawui o.
INkosi yasisithi kuye: Ngakho, loba ngubani obulala uKhayini uzaphindiselwa kasikhombisa. INkosi yasibeka uphawu kuKhayini, hlezi loba ngubani omficayo ambulale.
16 Ale Kain dzo le Yehowa ƒe ŋkume, eye wòyi ɖanɔ Nodnyigba si le Edenbɔ ƒe ɣedzeƒe lɔƒo la dzi.
UKhayini wasesuka ebusweni beNkosi, wasehlala elizweni leNodi, empumalanga kweEdeni.
17 Kain srɔ̃ fɔ fu, eye wòdzi ŋutsuvi. Ena ŋkɔe be Enɔk. Esia ta esi Kain tso du aɖe la, etsɔ via ƒe ŋkɔ nɛ be Enɔk.
UKhayini wasemazi umkakhe; wasethatha isisu, wabeletha uEnoki; njalo wayesakha umuzi, wabiza ibizo lomuzi ngebizo lendodana yakhe uEnoki.
18 Enɔk nye Irad fofo, Irad nye Mehuyael fofo, Mehuyael nye Metusael fofo, Metusael nye Lamek fofo.
Kwasekuzalelwa uEnoki uIradi; uIradi wasezala uMehujayeli; uMehujayeli wasezala uMethushayeli; uMethushayeli wasezala uLameki.
19 Lamek ɖe srɔ̃ eve, Ada kple Zila.
ULameki wasezithathela abafazi ababili, ibizo lowokuqala lalinguAda, lebizo lowesibili lalinguZila.
20 Ada dzi Yabal. Eyae zu nyikplɔla kple ame siwo nɔa avɔgbadɔwo me la dometɔ gbãtɔ.
UAda wasezala uJabali; yena wayenguyise walabo abahlala emathenteni, belezifuyo.
21 Nɔvia ŋutsu ŋkɔe nye Yubal, eye wònye ame gbãtɔ si wɔ kasaŋku kple dze.
Lebizo lomfowabo lalinguJubali, yena wayenguyise wakhe wonke olokwenza lechacho lomhlanga.
22 Lamek srɔ̃ evelia, Zila dzi Tubal Kain. Eyae zu gbede gbãtɔ, eye wòtua nuwo kple akɔbli kple gayibɔ. Tubal Kain nɔvinyɔnue nye Naama.
UZila laye wasezala uThubhali-Khayini, umkhandi wakho konke okusikayo kwethusi lensimbi. Lodadewabo kaThubhali-Khayini wayenguNahama.
23 Gbe ɖeka la, Lamek gblɔ na Ada kple Zila be, “Srɔ̃nyewo, miɖo tom. Mewu ame aɖe si de abi ŋunye, ɖekakpui aɖe si wɔ nuvevim.
ULameki wasesithi kubafazi bakhe: Ada loZila, zwanini ilizwi lami, bafazi bakaLameki, bekani indlebe ekukhulumeni kwami; ngoba ngabulala indoda ngenxa yokungilimaza, lomfana ngenxa yokungihluzula.
24 Ne woahe to na ame si awu Kain zi adre la, ekema ele be woahe to na Lamek zi blaadre-vɔ-adre!”
Nxa uKhayini ephindiselwa kasikhombisa, isibili uLameki kamatshumi ayisikhombisa ephindwe kasikhombisa.
25 Emegbe la, Adam kple srɔ̃a nɔ anyi eye Eva gadzi ŋutsuvi, eye wòna ŋkɔe be Set si gɔmee nye “Teƒeɖoɖo,” elabena Eva gblɔ be, “Mawu tsɔ ŋutsuvi bubu ɖo Abel, ame si Kain wu la teƒe nam.”
UAdamu wasephinda wamazi umkakhe; wasezala indodana, wasebiza ibizo layo wathi nguSeti; ngoba wathi: UNkulunkulu ungibekele enye inzalo esikhundleni sikaAbela, ngoba uKhayini wambulala.
26 Esi Set tsi la, edzi ŋutsuvi, eye wòna ŋkɔe be Enos. Le ɣe ma ɣi me la, amewo de asi Yehowa ŋkɔ yɔyɔ me.
Laye uSeti wasezalelwa indodana, wabiza ibizo layo wathi nguEnosi. Ngalesosikhathi baqala ukubiza ibizo leNkosi.
