< Kinohi 4 >

1 A IKE aku la o Adamu i kana wahine ia Eva; hapai ae la oia, a hanau mai la ia I Kaina, i mai la, Ua loaa no ia'u he kanaka no Iehova mai.
Adam slept with his wife Eve and she became pregnant. She gave birth to Cain, and said, “With the Lord's help I have made a man.”
2 Hanau hou iho la oia i kona kaikaina ia Abela. He kahuhipa o Abela, a he mahiai o Kaina.
Later she gave birth to his brother Abel. Abel became a shepherd, while Cain was a crop farmer.
3 Mahope iho o na la, lawe aku la o Kaina i kekahi hua o ka honua i mohai na Iehova.
Sometime later Cain brought some of the produce he'd grown as an offering to the Lord.
4 Lawe aku la hoi o Abela i kekahi o na hanau mua o kana poe hipa, i na mea momona hoi. A maliu mai la o Iehova ia Abela a me kana mohai:
Abel also brought an offering: the firstborn lambs of his flock, selecting the very best parts to offer. The Lord was pleased with Abel and his offering,
5 Aka, aole ia i maliu mai ia Kaina a me kana mohai. Huhu loa iho la o Kaina, a kulou iho la kona maka ilalo.
but he wasn't pleased with Cain and his offering, which made Cain very angry and he frowned in annoyance.
6 I mai la o Iehova ia Kaina, Heaha kau i huhu ai? No ke aha hoi i kulou iho ai kou maka ilalo!
The Lord said to Cain, “Why are you so angry? Why do you look so annoyed?
7 A i hana pono oe, aole anei oe e maliuia'ku? a i ole oe e hana i ka pono, ke waiho la ka mohai hala ma ka puka. A ia oe no ko ia la makemake, a e alii iho oe maluna ona.
If you were doing what's right, then you'd be looking happy. But if you don't do what's right, then sin will be like animal crouching outside your home, ready to pounce on you. It wants to have you, but you must be the one in control.”
8 Kamailio ae la o Kaina me kona kaikaina, me Abela: a ia laua ma ka waena, ku ae la o Kaina me ke ku e i kona kaikaina ia Abela, pepehi iho la ia ia a make.
Later, when Cain was talking with his brother Abel they went out into the fields where Cain attacked his brother and killed him.
9 Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Kaina, Auhea la o Abela o kou kaikaina! I aku la oia, Aole au i ike: owau anei ke kahu o kuu kaikaina!
“Where is your brother Abel?” the Lord asked Cain. “How should I know?” he replied. “Am I supposed to be my brother's care-giver?”
10 I mai la kela, Heaha kau i hana iho net? ke hea mai nei ka leo o ke koko o kou kaikaina ia'u mai ka lepo mai.
“What have you done?” the Lord asked. “Your brother's blood is crying out to me from the ground.
11 Ma keia hone aku, e hoohewaia'ku ai oe mai ka honua ae, i hamama ae kona waha e ale i ke koko o kou kaikaina, na kou lima aku.
Consequently you are more cursed than the ground because you soaked it with your brother's blood.
12 I kou mahi ana i ka honua, aole ia e hua mai ma keia hope i kona momona: a e lilo hoi oe i kanaka aea a me ke kuewa wale maluna o ka honua.
When you cultivate the ground, it won't produce crops for you. You'll be always on the run, wandering all over the earth.”
13 I aku la o Kaina ia Iehova, He nui loa kuu hewa: aole paha ia e hiki ke kalaia.
“My punishment is more than I can take,” Cain replied.
14 Aia hoi, ua kipaku aku oe ia'u i keia la mai ke alo aku o ka honua nei; a ua hookaawaleia au mai kou alo aku; a e lilo ana au i kanaka aea me ke kuewa wale maluna o ka honua; a i loaa au i kekahi, e pepehi mai ia ia'u a make.
“Look! You're driving me away right now—cursing the ground and banishing me from your presence. I'm going to have to hide and always be on the run, left to wander all over the earth. Anyone who finds me is going to kill me!”
15 I mai la o Iehova ia ia, Nolaila, o ka mea nana e pepehi ia Kaina, e pahiku ka hoopai ana i kona hewa. A kau iho la o Iehova i hoailona maluna o Kaina, o loaa ia i kekahi nana ia e pepehi aku a make.
But the Lord replied, “No, Cain. Anyone who kills you will be punished seven times over.” The Lord placed a mark on Cain so that no one who came across him would kill him.
16 Hele aku la o Kaina mai ke alo aku o Iehova, a noho iho la ma ka aina o Noda, ma ka hikina o Edena.
So Cain left the Lord's presence and went to live in a land called Nod, east of Eden.
17 Ike aku la o Kaina i kana wahine; hapai ae la oia, a hanau mai la ia Enoka: kukulu iho la oia i kulanakauhale, a kapa iho la i ka inoa o ua kulanakauhale la, mamuli o ka inoa o kana keiki, o Enoka.
Cain slept with his wife and she became pregnant. She had a son named Enoch. At that time Cain was building a town, so he named it after his son Enoch.
18 Na Enoka hoi i hanau mai o Irada: na Irada hoi o Mehuiaela: na Mehuiaela o Metusaela: na Metusaela o Lameka.
Enoch had a son named Irad. Irad was the father of Mehujael, Mehujael was the father of Methushael, and Methushael was the father of Lamech.
19 Lawe ae la o Lameka i na wahine elua nana: o Ada ka inoa o kekahi, a o Zila ka inoa o kekahi.
Lamech married two women. The first was named Adah, and the second was named Zillah.
20 Na Ada i hanau mai o Iabala: o ka makamua ia o ka poe noho halelewa, a o ka hanai holoholona.
Adah had a son named Jabal. He was the father of those who live in tents and have livestock.
21 A o Iubala ka inoa o kona kaikaina: o ka makamua ia o ka poe a pau i hookani i ka lira a me ka ohe.
He had a brother named Jubal; he was the father of all those who play stringed and wind instruments.
22 A o Zila, hanau mai no hoi nana o Tubalakaina, oia ke kumu a na paahana a pau e kui ana i ke keleawe a me Ka hao: a o Naama ke kaikuwahine o Tubalakaina.
Zillah also had a son. He was named Tubal-cain and he was a blacksmith, making different kinds of tools out of bronze and iron. Tubal-cain's sister was named Naamah.
23 I aku la o Lameka i na wahine ana, ia Ada, laua o Zila, E hoolohe mai olua i ko'u leo; e na wahine a Lameka, e haliu mai i ka'u olelo: no ka mea, ua pepehi iho la au i ke kanaka no ka hoeha ana mai ia'u, i ke kanaka opiopio no ka paopao ana mai ia'u.
At one time Lamech told his wives, “Adah and Zillah, listen to me. You wives of Lamech, pay attention to what I have to say. I killed a man because he wounded me; I killed a young man because he injured me.
24 Ina paha e pahiku ka hoopai ana no Kama, he oiaio no, e pakanahiku me kumamahiku hoi ia no Lameka.
If the sentence for killing Cain was to be punished seven times over, then if someone kills me, Lamech, the punishment should be seventy-seven times.”
25 Ike hou iho la o Adamu i kana wahine; a hanau mai la ia he keikikane, a kapa aku la i kona inoa o I Seta: No ka mea, ua haawi mai la ke Akua i ka hua hou na'u, wahi ana, i panihakahaka no Abela i pepehiia e Kaina.
Adam slept with his wife again, and she had a son and named him Seth, explaining that, “God has given me another child to replace Abel, the one Cain killed.”
26 Na Seta hoi i hanau kekahi keikikane; a kapa iho ia i kona inoa o Enosa: ia manawa ka hoomaka ana o na kanaka e kahea aku i ka inoa o Iehova.
Later Seth had a son named Enosh, because at that time people began to worship the Lord by name.
