< 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.”
Pea naʻe ʻilo ʻe ʻAtama ʻa hono uaifi ko ʻIvi; pea tuituʻia ia, pea fanauʻi ʻa Keini, pea pehē ʻe ia, “Kuo u maʻu ha tangata meia Sihova.”
2 Eva gadzi ŋutsuvi bubu, eye wòna ŋkɔe be Abel. Abel nye lãnyila, eye Kain nye agbledela.
Pea ne toe fanauʻi ʻa hono tehina ko ʻEpeli. Pea ko e tauhi sipi ʻa ʻEpeli, ka ko e tauhi ngoue ʻa Keini.
3 Le nuŋeɣi la, Kain tsɔ eƒe agblemenukuwo sa vɔ na Yehowa,
Pea ʻi he hokosia ʻae ngaahi ʻaho, naʻe ʻomi ʻe Keini ʻae ngaahi fua ʻoe kelekele, ko e feilaulau kia Sihova.
4 eye Abel hã tsɔ eƒe alẽvi damitɔ sa vɔ nɛ. Yehowa xɔ Abel ƒe vɔsa,
Pea naʻe ʻomi foki ʻe ʻEpeli, ʻae veloaki mo ia naʻe ngako ʻi heʻene fanga manu. Pea naʻe leleiʻia ʻa Sihova kia ʻEpeli mo ʻene feilaulau:
5 gake mexɔ Kain tɔ o. Nu sia na Kain xa nu, eye wòdo dɔmedzoe heɖo adã.
Ka naʻe ʻikai te ne leleiʻia kia Keini mo ʻene feilaulau. Pea naʻe ʻita ʻaupito ʻa Keini, pea kehe hono mata.
6 Yehowa bia Kain be, “Nu ka ta nèdo dɔmedzoe vevie, eye nèyɔ mo ɖo?
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Keini, “Ko e hā ʻoku ke ʻita ai? Pea ko e hā ʻoku kehe ai ho mata?
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!”
Kapau te ke fai lelei, ʻikai ʻe maʻu koe? Pea ka ʻikai te ke fai lelei, ʻoku ʻi he matapā ʻae angahala. Pea ʻe anganofo ia kiate koe, pea te ke pule kiate ia.”
8 Gbe ɖeka la, Kain gblɔ na nɔvia, Abel be, “Na míayi gbedzi.” Esi woyi gbea dzi la, Kain wu nɔvia, Abel.
Pea naʻe alea ʻa ʻEpeli mo hono tokoua: pea lolotonga ʻena ʻi he ngoue, naʻe tuʻu hake ʻa Keini ki hono tehina ko ʻEpeli, ʻone tāmateʻi ia.
9 Emegbe la, Yehowa bia Kain be, “Afi ka nɔviwò, Abel le?” Kain ɖo eŋu be, “Nyemenya o. Nɔvinyeŋudzɔlae menyea?”
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Keini, “Ko e fē ʻa ʻEpeli ko ho tehina?” Pea pehē ʻe ia, “ʻOku ʻikai te u ʻilo: he ko e tauhi au ʻa hoku tokoua?”
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.
Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Ko e hā eni kuo ke fai? ʻOku tangi kiate au mei he kelekele ʻae leʻo ʻoe toto ʻo ho tehina.
11 Ke fifia fiƒode le dziwò, eye menya wò ɖa tso anyigba si nèdo gui kple nɔviwò ƒe ʋu la dzi.
Pea ko eni, kuo fakamalaʻia koe mei he kelekele, ʻaia kuo fakamanga hono ngutu ke maʻu mei ho nima ʻae toto ʻoho tehina;
12 Anyigba maganyo nuku na wò o, ne èku kutri le edzi vevie gɔ̃ hã! Azɔ la, àzu tsaglãlatsala kple godzela le anyigba dzi.”
‌ʻoka ke ka ngoueʻi ʻae kelekele, ʻe ʻikai tupu lelei kiate koe ʻa hono fua; te ke hoko ko e fehēhēʻaki mo e hehengi ʻi he fonua.”
13 Kain ɖo eŋu na Yehowa be, “Nye tohehe kpe wu tsɔtsɔ nam,
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Keini kia Sihova, “ʻOku lahi hake ʻa hoku tautea ʻi heʻeku faʻa kātaki.
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.”
Vakai, kuo ke kapusi au ʻi he ʻaho ni mei he funga ʻoe fonua; pea ʻe fufū au mei ho fofonga; pea teu fehēhēʻaki mo hehengi ʻi he fonua; pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ko ia kotoa pē ʻoku ʻiloʻi au ʻe tāmateʻi au.”
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.
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kiate ia, “Ko ia ia ʻoku ne tāmateʻi ʻa Keini, ʻe tō kiate ia ʻae tautea ʻo liunga fitu.” Pea naʻe ʻai ʻe Sihova ʻae fakaʻilonga kia Keini, telia naʻa ʻilo ia ʻe ha taha, pea tāmateʻi ia.
16 Ale Kain dzo le Yehowa ƒe ŋkume, eye wòyi ɖanɔ Nodnyigba si le Edenbɔ ƒe ɣedzeƒe lɔƒo la dzi.
Pea naʻe ʻalu atu ʻa Keini mei he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ke nofo ʻi he fonua ko Noti, ʻi he [potu ] hahake ʻo ʻIteni.
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.
Pea naʻe ʻilo ʻe Keini ʻa hono uaifi, pea tuituʻia ia mo ne fanauʻi ʻa ʻInoke: pea naʻe langa ʻe ia ʻae kolo, pea naʻa ne fakahingoa ʻae kolo ki he hingoa ʻo hono foha ko ʻInoke.
18 Enɔk nye Irad fofo, Irad nye Mehuyael fofo, Mehuyael nye Metusael fofo, Metusael nye Lamek fofo.
Pea naʻe fanauʻi kia ʻInoke ʻa ʻIlati pea tupu ʻia ʻIlati ʻa Mihuseale: pea tupu ʻia Mihuseale ʻa Metuseʻeli: pea tupu ʻia Metuseʻeli ʻa Lemeki,
19 Lamek ɖe srɔ̃ eve, Ada kple Zila.
Pea naʻe maʻu ʻe Lemeki kiate ia ʻae ongo uaifi: ko e hingoa ʻoe tokotaha ko ʻAta, pea ko e hingoa ʻoe tokotaha ko Sila.
20 Ada dzi Yabal. Eyae zu nyikplɔla kple ame siwo nɔa avɔgbadɔwo me la dometɔ gbãtɔ.
Pea naʻe fanauʻi ʻe ʻAta ʻa Sepale ko e tamai ia ʻanautolu ʻoku nofo ʻi he ngaahi fale fehikitaki mo tauhi ʻae fanga manu.
21 Nɔvia ŋutsu ŋkɔe nye Yubal, eye wònye ame gbãtɔ si wɔ kasaŋku kple dze.
Pea ko e hingoa ʻo hono tokoua ko Supale: ko e tamai ia ʻanautolu kotoa pē ʻoku faiva ʻaki ʻae meʻa tatangi mo e meʻa ʻoku ifi.
22 Lamek srɔ̃ evelia, Zila dzi Tubal Kain. Eyae zu gbede gbãtɔ, eye wòtua nuwo kple akɔbli kple gayibɔ. Tubal Kain nɔvinyɔnue nye Naama.
Pea fāʻeleʻi foki ʻe Sila ʻa Tupale-Keini, ko e tufunga ʻoe ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ʻi he palasa mo e ukamea; pea ko e tuofefine ʻo Tupale-Keini ko Neama.
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.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Lemeki ki hono ongo uaifi ko ʻAta mo Sila, “Fanongo ki hoku leʻo; ʻae ongo uaifi ʻo Lemeki, fakafanongo ki heʻeku lea: he kuo u tāmateʻi ha tangata ʻi hoku lavea, ʻio, ko e talavou koeʻuhi ko ʻeku mamahi.
24 Ne woahe to na ame si awu Kain zi adre la, ekema ele be woahe to na Lamek zi blaadre-vɔ-adre!”
Kapau ʻe totongi ʻia Keini ʻo liunga fitu, ko e moʻoni, ʻe liunga fitungofulu ia lau ʻe fitu kia Lemeki.”
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.”
Pea naʻe toe ʻilo ʻe ʻAtama ʻa hono uaifi; pea fāʻeleʻi ʻe ia ʻae tama, pea naʻe ui hono hingoa ko Seti: he naʻe [pehē ʻe ia], “Kuo foaki kiate au ʻe he ʻOtua ha hako ʻe taha ko e fetongi ʻo ʻEpeli, ʻaia naʻe tāmateʻi ʻe Keini.”
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.
Pea naʻe fanauʻi foki ha foha kia Seti; pea naʻe ui hono hingoa ko ʻInosi: pea naʻe kamata ui ʻae kakai ki he huafa ʻo Sihova.
