Jenèz 4
1 Alò, lòm nan te vin nan relasyon avèk madanm li, Ève. Li te vin ansent e li te vin kouche fè Cain. Konsa, li te di: “Mwen gen tan fè yon ti nonm avèk èd SENYÈ a:”
Afterward the man knew Heuah his wife, which conceiued and bare Kain, and said, I haue obteined a man by the Lord.
2 Ankò, li te bay nesans a frè li, Abel. Epi Abel se te yon bèje bann mouton, men Cain t ap laboure tè a.
And againe she brought foorth his brother Habel, and Habel was a keeper of sheepe, and Kain was a tiller of the ground.
3 Li te vin rive pi devan ke Cain te pote yon ofrann bay SENYÈ a, ki sòti nan fwi rekòlt tè 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 Abel, osi, sou pati pa l te pote nan premye pòtre twoupo, e nan pòsyon pi gra a nan yo. Konsa, SENYÈ a te kontan pou Abel avèk ofrann pa l 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 pou Cain, avèk ofrann pa li a, Li pa t kontan. Alò, Cain te vin byen fache, e figi li te vin ba.
But vnto Kain and to his offering he had no regarde: wherefore Kain was exceeding wroth, and his countenance fell downe.
6 Alò, SENYÈ a te di a Cain: “Poukisa ou fache konsa? Epi poukisa figi ou vin ba konsa?
Then ye Lord said vnto Kain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance cast downe?
7 Si ou fè sa ki bon èske figi ou p ap leve ankò? Epi si ou pa fè sa ki bon, peche ap kouche devan papòt ou. Dezi li se pou ou, men ou oblije vin mèt 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 Cain te di frè l la, Abel, “An ale nan chan.” Epi li te vin rive ke pandan yo te nan chan an, Cain te leve kont Abel, frè l la, e li te 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 Alò, SENYÈ a te di a Cain: “Kote frè ou a, Abel?” Epi li te di: “Mwen pa konnen. Èske mwen se gadyen frè m nan?”
Then the Lord said vnto Kain, Where is Habel thy brother? Who answered, I cannot tell. Am I my brothers keeper?
10 Li te di: “Kisa ou te fè la a? Vwa san a frè ou a ap rele ban Mwen sòti nan tè a.
Againe he said, What hast thou done? the voyce of thy brothers blood cryeth vnto me from the earth.
11 Koulye a ou modi, soti nan tè a, ki te ouvri bouch li pou resevwa san Abel nan men ou an.
Now therefore thou art cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receiue thy brothers blood from thine hand.
12 Depi koulye a, lè ou kiltive tè a, li p ap bay ou fòs li ankò. Ou va vin yon vagabon k ap mache toupatou sou latè.”
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 Cain te di a SENYÈ a: “Pinisyon mwen an twò di pou m sipòte!
Then Kain said to the Lord, My punishment is greater, then I can beare.
14 Byen gade! Jodi a ou gen tan pouse m kite sifas tè a. Konsa, fas ou p ap wè m; mwen va vin yon vagabon k ap plede mache toupatou sou latè, e 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 Alò, SENYÈ a te di li: “Pou sa, nenpòt moun ki touye Cain, vanjans va tonbe sou li sèt fwa plis.” Epi SENYÈ a te chwazi yon sign pou Cain, dekwa ke pèsòn ki jwenn li pa ta touye l.
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 Konsa, Cain te sòti de prezans SENYÈ a, e li te al rete sou teren Nod nan pati lès Eden an.
Then Kain went out from the presence of the Lord, and dwelt in the land of Nod towarde the Eastside of Eden.
17 Cain te antre an relasyon avèk madanm li. Li te vin ansent, e li te bay nesans a Hénoc; epi li te bati yon vil. Li te bay vil la non Henoc, menm non ak fis li a.
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 Alò, Hénoc te fè Irad, e Irad te devni papa a Mehujaël, Mehujaël te vin papa a Metuschaël, e Metuschaël te vin papa a Lémec.
And to Henoch was borne Irad, and Irad begate Mehuiael, and Mehuiael begate Methushael, and Methushael begate Lamech.
19 Lémec te pran pou li de madanm: youn yo te rele Ada, e non a lòt la se te Tsilla.
And Lamech tooke him two wiues: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah.
20 Ada te bay nesans a Jabal. Li te papa a tout sila ki te rete nan tant yo, e ki te okipe bèt yo.
And Adah bare Iabal, who was the father of such as dwell in the tents, and of such as haue cattell.
21 Frè li a te rele Jubal. Li te papa a tout sila ki te jwe ap avèk shaloumo yo.
And his brothers name was Iubal, who was the father of all that play on the harpe and organes.
22 Epi pou Tsilla, li te bay nesans a Tubal-Cain, yon bòs fòjewon ki fè zouti avèk bwonz ak fè. Sè a Tubal Cain an se te 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 Lémec te di a madanm li yo: “Ada avèk Tsilla, koute vwa m. Nou menm ki madanm a Lémec yo; byen okipe pawòl mwen. Paske mwen te touye yon mesye akoz ke li blese m; e yon gason akoz li frape m.
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 Cain vanje sèt fwa, alò Lémec swasann-dis-sèt fwa.”
If Kain shalbe auenged seuen folde, truely Lamech, seuentie times seuen folde.
25 Adam te antre an relasyon ankò avèk madanm li, epi li te bay nesans a yon fis. Li te rele li Seth, paske li te di “Bondye te chwazi ban mwen yon lòt fis nan plas Abel, paske Cain te touye li”.
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 Pou Seth, li menm, li te bay nesans a yon fis, epi li te rele non li Énosch. Nan lè sa a, lèzòm te kòmanse ap rele non SENYÈ 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.
