< Farawa 4 >
1 Adamu ya kwana da matarsa Hawwa’u, ta kuwa yi ciki ta haifi Kayinu. Sai ta ce, “Da taimakon Ubangiji na sami ɗa namiji.”
And the man knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man with [the help of] Jehovah.
2 Daga baya ta haifi ɗan’uwansa, ta kuma ba shi suna Habila. Sa’ad da suka yi girma sai Habila ya zama makiyayin tumaki, Kayinu kuwa ya zama manomi.
And again she bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.
3 Ana nan sai Kayinu ya kawo waɗansu amfanin gona a matsayin hadaya ga Ubangiji.
And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto Jehovah.
4 Amma Habila ya kawo mafi kyau daga’ya’yan fari na garkensa. Ubangiji ya yi farin ciki da sadakar da Habila ya kawo,
And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And Jehovah had respect unto Abel and to his offering:
5 amma bai yi farin ciki da sadakar da Kayinu ya kawo ba. Saboda haka Kayinu ya ji fushi sosai, fuskarsa kuma ta ɓace.
but unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.
6 Sai Ubangiji ya ce wa Kayinu, “Don me kake fushi? Don me fuskarka ta ɓace?
And Jehovah said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen?
7 Da ka yi abin da yake daidai, ai, da ka sami karɓuwa. Amma tun da ba ka yi abin da ba daidai ba, zunubi zai yi fakonka don yă rinjaye ka kamar naman jeji. Yana so yă mallake ka, amma tilas ka rinjaye shi.”
If thou doest well, shall it not be lifted up? and if thou doest not well, sin coucheth at the door; and unto thee shall be its desire; but do thou rule over it.
8 To, Kayinu ya ce wa ɗan’uwansa Habila, “Mu tafi gona.” Yayinda suke a gona, sai Kayinu ya tasar wa Habila ya buge shi ya kashe.
And Cain told Abel his brother. And it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.
9 Sai Ubangiji ya ce wa Kayinu, “Ina ɗan’uwanka Habila?” Sai Kayinu ya ce, “Ban sani ba, ni mai gadin ɗan’uwana ne?”
And Jehovah said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: am I my brother’s keeper?
10 Ubangiji ya ce, “Me ke nan ka yi? Saurara! Ga jinin ɗan’uwanka yana mini kuka daga ƙasa.
And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother’s blood crieth unto me from the ground.
11 Yanzu, kai la’ananne ne, an kuma kore ka daga ƙasa wadda ta buɗe bakinta ta shanye jinin ɗan’uwanka daga hannunka.
And now cursed art thou from the ground, which hath opened its mouth to receive thy brother’s blood from thy hand;
12 In ka nome ƙasa, ba za tă ƙara ba ka hatsinta ba. Za ka kuma zama mai yawo barkatai a duniya.”
when thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee its strength; a fugitive and a wanderer shalt thou be in the earth.
13 Kayinu ya ce wa Ubangiji, “Horon nan ya sha ƙarfina.
And Cain said unto Jehovah, My punishment is greater than I can bear.
14 Ga shi, yau kana kori na daga ƙasar, zan zama a ɓoye daga fuskarka, zan kuma zama mai yawo barkatai, duk wanda ya same ni kuwa zai kashe ni.”
Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the ground; and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a wanderer in the earth; and it will come to pass, that whosoever findeth me will slay me.
15 Amma Ubangiji ya ce masa, “Ba haka ba ne! Duk wanda ya kashe Kayinu, za a ninƙa hukuncinsa har sau bakwai.” Sa’an nan Ubangiji ya sa wa Kayinu alama don duk wanda ya same shi kada yă kashe shi.
And Jehovah said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And Jehovah appointed a sign for Cain, lest any finding him should smite him.
16 Saboda haka Kayinu ya yi tafiyarsa ya rabu da Ubangiji, ya je ya zauna ƙasar Nod a gabashin Eden.
And Cain went out from the presence of Jehovah, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.
17 Kayinu ya kwana da matarsa, ta kuwa yi ciki, ta haifi Enok. A lokacin Kayinu yana gina birni, sai ya sa wa birnin sunan ɗansa Enok.
And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch.
18 Aka haifa wa Enok Irad, Irad kuma ya haifi Mehujayel, Mehujayel kuma ya haifi Metushayel, Metushayel kuma ya haifin Lamek.
And unto Enoch was born Irad: and Irad begat Mehujael; and Mehujael begat Methushael; and Methushael begat Lamech.
19 Lamek ya auri mata biyu, ana ce da ɗaya Ada, ɗayan kuma Zilla.
And Lamech took unto him two wives: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah.
20 Ada ta haifi Yabal, shi ne mahaifi waɗanda suke zama a tentuna, suna kuma kiwon dabbobi.
And Adah bare Jabal: he was the father of such as dwell in tents and [have] cattle.
21 Sunan ɗan’uwansa Yubal, shi ne mahaifin dukan makaɗan garaya da masu hura sarewa.
And his brother’s name was Jubal: he was the father of all such as handle the harp and pipe.
22 Zilla ma ta haifi ɗa, Tubal-Kayinu, shi ne wanda ya ƙera kowane iri kayan aiki daga tagulla da kuma ƙarfe.’Yar’uwar Tubal-Kayinu ita ce Na’ama.
And Zillah, she also bare Tubal-cain, the forger of every cutting instrument of brass and iron: and the sister of Tubal-cain was Naamah.
23 Wata rana, Lamek ya ce wa matansa, Ada da Zilla, “Ku saurara, matan Lamek, ku ji maganata. Na kashe wani saboda ya yi mini rauni, na kashe wani saurayi saboda ya ji mini ciwo.
And Lamech said unto his wives: Adah and Zillah, hear my voice; Ye wives of Lamech, hearken unto my speech: For I have slain a man for wounding me, And a young man for bruising me:
24 Idan za a rama wa Kayinu har sau bakwai, lalle za a rama wa Lamek sau saba’in da bakwai ke nan.”
If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, Truly Lamech seventy and sevenfold.
25 Sai Adamu ya sāke kwana da matarsa, ta haifi ɗa, aka kuma ba shi suna Set, gama ta ce, “Allah ya ba ni wani yaro a madadin Habila, tun da yake Kayinu ya kashe shi.”
And Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son, and called his name Seth: For, [said she], God hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel; for Cain slew him.
26 Set ma ya haifi ɗa, ya kuma kira shi Enosh. A lokaci ne, mutane suka fara kira ga sunan Ubangiji.
And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enosh. Then began men to call upon the name of Jehovah.
