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 Man knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bore Cain, and said, I have acquired a man with 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 she further bore his brother Abel. And Abel was a shepherd, but Cain was a husbandman.
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 to 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 their fat. And Jehovah looked upon Abel, and on 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.
and upon Cain, and on his offering, he did not look. And Cain was very angry, and his countenance fell.
6 Sai Ubangiji ya ce wa Kayinu, “Don me kake fushi? Don me fuskarka ta ɓace?
And Jehovah said to Cain, Why art thou angry, 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, will not [thy countenance] look up [with confidence]? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door; and unto thee [shall be] his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.
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 spoke to 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 to 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 is crying to 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 be thou cursed 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 thee its strength; a wanderer and fugitive shalt thou be on the earth.
13 Kayinu ya ce wa Ubangiji, “Horon nan ya sha ƙarfina.
And Cain said to Jehovah, My punishment is too great to be borne.
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 this day from the face of the ground, and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a wanderer and fugitive on the earth; and it will come to pass, [that] every one who finds 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 to him, Therefore, whoever slayeth Cain, it shall be revenged sevenfold. And Jehovah set a mark on 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, toward 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 bore Enoch. And he built a city; and he 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 to Enoch was born Irad; and Irad begot Mehujael; and Mehujael begot Methushael; and Methushael begot Lemech.
19 Lamek ya auri mata biyu, ana ce da ɗaya Ada, ɗayan kuma Zilla.
And Lemech took two wives: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the second, Zillah.
20 Ada ta haifi Yabal, shi ne mahaifi waɗanda suke zama a tentuna, suna kuma kiwon dabbobi.
And Adah bore Jabal: he was the father of those who dwell in tents, and [breed] 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 those who 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 bore Tubal-Cain, the forger of every kind of tool 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 Lemech said to his wives: Adah and Zillah, hear my voice, Ye wives of Lemech, listen to my speech. For I have slain a man for my wound, and a youth for my bruise.
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 seven-fold; Lemech seventy and seven fold.
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 bore a son, and called his name Seth: ...For God has appointed me another seed instead of Abel, because Cain has slain 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 was born a son; and he called his name Enosh. Then people began to call on the name of Jehovah.
