< 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.”
Adam de ne ho kaa ne yere Hawa ma onyinsɛn, woo abarimaa a wɔfrɛ no Kain. Na ɔkae se, Awurade adaworoma, mawo ɔbabarima.
2 Eva gadzi ŋutsuvi bubu, eye wòna ŋkɔe be Abel. Abel nye lãnyila, eye Kain nye agbledela.
Akyiri no, ɔsan woo nʼakyi babarima too no din Habel. Na Habel bɛyɛɛ oguanhwɛfo, na Kain nso bɛyɛɛ okuafo.
3 Le nuŋeɣi la, Kain tsɔ eƒe agblemenukuwo sa vɔ na Yehowa,
Nna bi akyi no, Kain de nʼafum nnɔbae bi kɔbɔɔ Awurade afɔre.
4 eye Abel hã tsɔ eƒe alẽvi damitɔ sa vɔ nɛ. Yehowa xɔ Abel ƒe vɔsa,
Habel nso de ne nyɛmmoa no mu mmakan a wɔadodɔ srade kɔbɔɔ Onyankopɔn afɔre. Awurade ani sɔɔ Habel afɔrebɔ no.
5 gake mexɔ Kain tɔ o. Nu sia na Kain xa nu, eye wòdo dɔmedzoe heɖo adã.
Nanso Kain afɔrebɔ no de, nʼani ansɔ. Asɛm no anyɛ Kain dɛ, na ne bo fuwii.
6 Yehowa bia Kain be, “Nu ka ta nèdo dɔmedzoe vevie, eye nèyɔ mo ɖo?
Awurade bisaa Kain se, “Adɛn nti na wo bo afuw? Adɛn nti na woamuna saa?
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!”
Sɛ woyɛ ade pa a, anka wɔrennye wo nto mu ana? Sɛ wonyɛ ade pa de a, bɔne gyina wo pon ano, ɛrehwehwɛ wo ako atia wo, nanso ɛsɛ sɛ wudi no so.”
8 Gbe ɖeka la, Kain gblɔ na nɔvia, Abel be, “Na míayi gbedzi.” Esi woyi gbea dzi la, Kain wu nɔvia, Abel.
Da bi Kain ka kyerɛɛ ne nua Habel se, “Ma yɛnkɔ afum.” Bere a wɔwɔ afum hɔ no, Kain tow hyɛɛ ne nua Habel so, kum no.
9 Emegbe la, Yehowa bia Kain be, “Afi ka nɔviwò, Abel le?” Kain ɖo eŋu be, “Nyemenya o. Nɔvinyeŋudzɔlae menyea?”
Awurade bisaa Kain se, “Wo nua Habel wɔ he?” Kain buae se, “Minnim. Mɛyɛ dɛn ahu? Me na mehwɛ me nua so ana?”
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.
Awurade bisaa Kain se, “Dɛn na woayɛ yi? Tie! Wo nua mogya su fi asase so frɛ me.
11 Ke fifia fiƒode le dziwò, eye menya wò ɖa tso anyigba si nèdo gui kple nɔviwò ƒe ʋu la dzi.
Mprempren, wɔadome wo, apam wo afi asase a ebuee nʼano gyee wo nua mogya fii wo nsam no so.
12 Anyigba maganyo nuku na wò o, ne èku kutri le edzi vevie gɔ̃ hã! Azɔ la, àzu tsaglãlatsala kple godzela le anyigba dzi.”
Sɛ woyɛ asase no so adwuma sɛ dɛn ara a, worennya nnɔbae biara mfi so. Wobɛyɛ ɔkobɔfo, akyinkyin asase so.”
13 Kain ɖo eŋu na Yehowa be, “Nye tohehe kpe wu tsɔtsɔ nam,
Kain kae se, “Awurade mʼasotwe boro me so.
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.”
Nnɛ, woapam me afi asase so ne wʼanim. Mɛyɛ ɔkobɔfo akyinkyin asase so na obiara a obenya me no bekum me.”
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.
Nanso Awurade ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Ɛnte saa koraa! Obiara a obekum Kain no benya Kain asotwe no mpɛn ason.” Afei, Awurade hyɛɛ Kain agyirae bi sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a, obiara a obehyia no no renkum no.
16 Ale Kain dzo le Yehowa ƒe ŋkume, eye wòyi ɖanɔ Nodnyigba si le Edenbɔ ƒe ɣedzeƒe lɔƒo la dzi.
Enti Kain guan fii Awurade anim, kɔtenaa Nod asase so wɔ Eden apuei fam.
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.
Kain de ne ho kaa ne yere na onyinsɛn, woo ɔbabarima, too no din Henok. Saa bere no, Kain kyekyeree kurow bi de too ne ba Henok.
18 Enɔk nye Irad fofo, Irad nye Mehuyael fofo, Mehuyael nye Metusael fofo, Metusael nye Lamek fofo.
Henok woo Irad. Irad woo Mehuyael. Mehuyael woo Metusael. Metusael woo Lamek.
19 Lamek ɖe srɔ̃ eve, Ada kple Zila.
Lamek waree mmea baanu a wɔn din de Ada ne Sila.
20 Ada dzi Yabal. Eyae zu nyikplɔla kple ame siwo nɔa avɔgbadɔwo me la dometɔ gbãtɔ.
Ada woo Yabal a nʼasefo yɛ wɔn a wɔte ntamadan mu yɛn mmoa.
21 Nɔvia ŋutsu ŋkɔe nye Yubal, eye wònye ame gbãtɔ si wɔ kasaŋku kple dze.
Na Yabal nuabarima din de Yubal a nʼasefo yɛ mmɛnhyɛnfo ne sankubɔfo.
22 Lamek srɔ̃ evelia, Zila dzi Tubal Kain. Eyae zu gbede gbãtɔ, eye wòtua nuwo kple akɔbli kple gayibɔ. Tubal Kain nɔvinyɔnue nye Naama.
Sila woo ɔbabarima a wɔfrɛ no Tubal-Kain. Na ɔyɛ kɔbere atomfo ne nnade ahorow nyinaa atomfo agya. Na Tubal-Kain wɔ nuabea bi a ne din de Naama.
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.
Da bi, Lamek ka kyerɛɛ ne yerenom Ada ne Sila se, “Muntie me, me yerenom makum aberante bi a, ɔtow hyɛɛ me so, piraa me.
24 Ne woahe to na ame si awu Kain zi adre la, ekema ele be woahe to na Lamek zi blaadre-vɔ-adre!”
Sɛ Kain so aweretɔ bɛyɛ mpɛn ason a, ɛno de, me Lamek de, nea obekum me no, nʼasotwe bɛyɛ mpɛn aduɔson ason.”
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.”
Akyiri no, Adam de ne ho kaa ne yere Hawa. Na ɔwoo ɔbabarima bio. Na wɔtoo no din Set kae se, “Onyankopɔn ama me ɔba foforo asi Habel a Kain kum no no anan mu.”
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.
Set nso woo ɔbabarima na ɔtoo no din Enos. Saa bere no mu na nnipa fitii ase bɔɔ Awurade din.
