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 his wife Eve, and she conceives and bears Cain, and says, “I have acquired a man by YHWH”;
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 adds to bear his brother, even Abel. And Abel is feeding a flock, and Cain has been servant of the ground.
3 Ana nan sai Kayinu ya kawo waɗansu amfanin gona a matsayin hadaya ga Ubangiji.
And it comes to pass at the end of days that Cain brings from the fruit of the ground a present to YHWH;
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 has brought, he also, from the female firstlings of his flock, and from their fat ones; and YHWH looks to Abel and to his present,
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 to Cain and to his present He has not looked; and it is very displeasing to Cain, and his countenance is fallen.
6 Sai Ubangiji ya ce wa Kayinu, “Don me kake fushi? Don me fuskarka ta ɓace?
And YHWH says to Cain, “Why do you have displeasure? And why has your 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.”
Is there not, if you do well, acceptance? And if you do not do well, sin [[or a sin-offering]] is lying at the opening, and its [[or His]] desire [is] for you, and you rule over it [[or by 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 says to his brother Abel, [[“Let us go into the field”; ]] and it comes to pass in their being in the field, that Cain rises up against his brother Abel, and slays 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 YHWH says to Cain, “Where [is] your brother Abel?” And he says, “I have not known; 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 says, “What have you done? The voice of your 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, cursed [are] you from the ground, which has opened her mouth to receive the blood of your brother from your hand;
12 In ka nome ƙasa, ba za tă ƙara ba ka hatsinta ba. Za ka kuma zama mai yawo barkatai a duniya.”
when you till the ground, it will not add to give its strength to you—a wanderer, even a trembling one, you are in the earth.”
13 Kayinu ya ce wa Ubangiji, “Horon nan ya sha ƙarfina.
And Cain says to YHWH, “My punishment is too great than to 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, You have driven me today from off the face of the ground, and from Your face I am hid; and I have been a wanderer, even a trembling one, in the earth, and it has been—everyone finding 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 YHWH says to him, “Therefore, of any slayer of Cain it is required sevenfold”; and YHWH sets to Cain a token that none finding him will slay him.
16 Saboda haka Kayinu ya yi tafiyarsa ya rabu da Ubangiji, ya je ya zauna ƙasar Nod a gabashin Eden.
And Cain goes out from before YHWH, and dwells in the land, moving about 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 knows his wife, and she conceives, and bears Enoch; and he is building a city, and he calls the name of the city, according to 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 born to Enoch is Irad; and Irad has begotten Mehujael; and Mehujael has begotten Methusael; and Methusael has begotten Lamech.
19 Lamek ya auri mata biyu, ana ce da ɗaya Ada, ɗayan kuma Zilla.
And Lamech takes to himself two wives, the name of the first 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 bears Jabal, he has been father of those inhabiting tents and [having] purchased livestock;
21 Sunan ɗan’uwansa Yubal, shi ne mahaifin dukan makaɗan garaya da masu hura sarewa.
and the name of his brother [is] Jubal, he has been father of everyone handling 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 bears Tubal-Cain, an instructor of every craftsman in bronze and iron; and a sister of Tubal-Cain [is] 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 says to his wives: “Adah and Zillah, hear my voice; Wives of Lamech, give ear [to] my saying: For I have slain a man for my wound, Even a young man for my hurt;
24 Idan za a rama wa Kayinu har sau bakwai, lalle za a rama wa Lamek sau saba’in da bakwai ke nan.”
For sevenfold is required for Cain, And for Lamech seventy-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 again knows his wife, and she bears a son, and calls his name Seth, “for God has appointed for me another seed instead of Abel”: for Cain had 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 a son has been born, and he calls his name Enos; then a beginning was made of preaching in the Name of YHWH.
