Jenèz 4
1 Lè sa a, Adan kouche ak Ev, madanm li. Madanm li vin ansent. Li fè yon pitit gason, li rele l' Kayen, epi li di. Avèk konkou Bondye, mwen gen yon gason.
Afterward the man knew Heuah his wife, which conceiued and bare Kain, and said, I haue obteined a man by the Lord.
2 Apre sa, li fè Abèl, frè Kayen. Abèl te gadò mouton, Kayen menm te travay latè.
And againe she brought foorth his brother Habel, and Habel was a keeper of sheepe, and Kain was a tiller of the ground.
3 Kèk tan apre sa, Kayen pran nan rekòt li, li ofri bay Seye a.
And in processe of time it came to passe, that Kain brought an oblation vnto the Lord of the fruite of the ground.
4 Abèl menm, bò pa l', pran sa ki pi gra nan premye pitit mouton l' yo, li ofri bay Seyè a. Seyè a te kontan ofrann Abèl la.
And Habel also him selfe brought of the first fruites of his sheepe, and of the fat of them, and the Lord had respect vnto Habel, and to his offering,
5 Men, li pa t' asepte ofrann Kayen an. Lè Kayen wè sa, li te move anpil. Li move, li mare figi l' byen mare.
But vnto Kain and to his offering he had no regarde: wherefore Kain was exceeding wroth, and his countenance fell downe.
6 Lè sa a, Seyè a di Kayen. Poukisa ou move konsa? Poukisa ou mare figi ou konsa?
Then ye Lord said vnto Kain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance cast downe?
7 Si sa ou te fè a te byen, ou pa ta rive nan sitiyasyon sa a. Men, paske ou fè sa ki mal, peche kouche nan papòt ou. L'ap tann konsa lè pou l' pran tèt ou. Men, ou menm, se pou ou kenbe tèt ak li.
If thou do well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sinne lieth at the doore: also vnto thee his desire shalbe subiect, and thou shalt rule ouer him.
8 Yon jou, Kayen di Abèl, frè li. Ann al nan jaden. Vwala, antan yo nan jaden an, Kayen vire sou frè li, li touye li.
Then Kain spake to Habel his brother. And when they were in the fielde, Kain rose vp against Habel his brother, and slewe him.
9 Seyè a mande Kayen. Kote Abèl, frè ou la? Kayen reponn. Mwen pa konnen. Eske ou te mete m' veye l'?
Then the Lord said vnto Kain, Where is Habel thy brother? Who answered, I cannot tell. Am I my brothers keeper?
10 Bondye di l' konsa. Kisa ou fè konsa? San Abèl, frè ou, ki koule atè a, ap rele tankou yon vwa moun. Li rive jouk nan zòrèy mwen. L'ap mande revanj.
Againe he said, What hast thou done? the voyce of thy brothers blood cryeth vnto me from the earth.
11 Koulye a, tè ki te louvri bouch li pou l' te bwè san frè ou ou te fè koule a, menm tè sa a ap tounen yon madichon pou ou.
Now therefore thou art cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receiue thy brothers blood from thine hand.
12 Lè w'a travay latè, li p'ap ba ou sa l' te dwe ba ou. W'ap tounen yon vakabon k'ap plede mache toupatou sou latè san rete.
When thou shalt till the grounde, it shall not henceforth yeelde vnto thee her strength: a vagabond and a runnagate shalt thou be in the earth.
13 Kayen di Seyè a: Chatiman an twòp pou mwen. Mwen p'ap ka sipòte l'.
Then Kain said to the Lord, My punishment is greater, then I can beare.
14 Men ou mete m' deyò sou tè sa a koulye a, se kache pou m' al kache pou ou pa wè m'. M'ap tounen yon vakabon k'ap plede mache toupatou sou latè san rete. Nenpòt moun ki jwenn mwen va touye m'.
Behold, thou hast cast me out this day from the earth, and from thy face shall I be hid, and shalbe a vagabond, and a runnagate in the earth, and whosoeuer findeth me, shall slay me.
15 Seyè a di: Non. Paske, si yon moun touye Kayen, y'ap fè l' peye sa sèt fwa. Se konsa, li mete yon siy sou Kayen pou moun pa touye l' si yo jwenn li.
Then the Lord said vnto him, Doubtlesse whosoeuer slayeth Kain, he shalbe punished seue folde. And the Lord set a marke vpon Kain, lest any man finding him should kill him.
16 Apre sa, Kayen wete kò l' devan Seyè a, li al rete nan yon peyi yo rele Nòd, lòt bò jaden Edenn lan, sou kote solèy leve a.
Then Kain went out from the presence of the Lord, and dwelt in the land of Nod towarde the Eastside of Eden.
17 Kayen kouche avèk madanm li. Madanm li vin ansent, li fè yon ti gason yo rele Enòk. Apre sa, Kayen bati yon vil, li rele l' Enòk. Li ba l' menm non ak pitit gason l' lan.
Kain also knewe his wife, which conceiued and bare Henoch: and he built a citie, and called the name of the citie by ye name of his sonne, Henoch.
18 Enòk te fè yon pitit gason yo rele Irad. Se Irad sa a ki te papa Meoujaèl. Meoujaèl te papa Metouchaèl. Se Metouchaèl ki te papa Lemèk.
And to Henoch was borne Irad, and Irad begate Mehuiael, and Mehuiael begate Methushael, and Methushael begate Lamech.
19 Lemèk te gen de madanm. Yonn te rele Ada, lòt la te rele Zila.
And Lamech tooke him two wiues: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah.
20 Se Ada ki manman Jabal. Jabal sa a, se li menm ki zansèt tout moun sa yo ki rete anba tant epi ki gade bèt.
And Adah bare Iabal, who was the father of such as dwell in the tents, and of such as haue cattell.
21 Frè menm manman ak li a te rele Joubal. Se li menm ki zansèt tout moun sa yo k'ap jwe gita ak fif.
And his brothers name was Iubal, who was the father of all that play on the harpe and organes.
22 Zila menm bò pa l' te manman Toubal Kayen, yon bòs fòjon ki te konn travay kwiv ak fè. Toubal Kayen te gen yon sè menm manman ak li ki te rele Naama.
And Zillah also bare Tubal-kain, who wrought cunningly euery craft of brasse and of yron: and the sister of Tubal-kain was Naamah.
23 Yon jou Lemèk di madanm li yo: Ada ak Zila, koute sa m'ap di nou! Madanm mwen yo, tande byen sa m'ap di nou! Mwen touye yon moun paske li leve men li sou mwen. Mwen touye yon jenn gason paske li mete san m' deyò.
Then Lamech saide vnto his wiues Adah and Zillah, Heare my voyce, ye wiues of Lamech: hearken vnto my speach: for I would slay a man in my wound, and a yong man in mine hurt.
24 Si yon moun touye Kayen y'ap fè l' peye sa sèt fwa. Men, si yon moun touye m', mwen menm Lemèk, y'ap fè l' peye sa swasanndisèt fwa.
If Kain shalbe auenged seuen folde, truely Lamech, seuentie times seuen folde.
25 Adan te kouche ak madanm li ankò. Madanm li fè yon ti gason. Madanm lan di: Bondye ban m' yon lòt gason pou ranplase Abèl Kayen te touye a. Li rele l' Sèt.
And Adam knewe his wife againe, and she bare a sonne, and she called his name Sheth: for God, saide she, hath appointed me another seede for Habel, because Kain slewe him.
26 Sèt, pou tèt pa l', vin gen yon pitit gason, li rele l' Enòk. Se lè sa a moun konmanse fè sèvis pou Seyè a.
And to ye same Sheth also there was borne a sonne, and he called his name Enosh. Then beganne men to call vpon the name of the Lord.
