And Adam lay wyth Heua ys wyfe which conceaved and bare Cain and sayd: I haue goten a ma of the LORde.
2 Emesịa Iiv mụtara nwanne ya nwoke Ebel. Ebel ghọrọ onye na-azụ igwe atụrụ. Ma Ken ghọrọ onye ọrụ ubi.
And she proceded forth and bare hys brother Abell: And Abell became a sheperde And Cain became a ploweman.
3 Mgbe ụfọdụ oge gasịrị, Ken wetaara Onyenwe anyị ụfọdụ ihe ubi ya dịka onyinye.
And it fortuned in processe of tyme that Cain brought of the frute of the erth: an offerynge vnto the LORde.
4 Ma Ebel, ya onwe ya nyekwara onyinye site nʼigwe ewu na atụrụ ya e bụ ụzọ mụọ, nke mara abụba. Onyenwe anyị nabatara Ebel na onyinye ya,
And Abell he brought also of the fyrstlynges of hys shepe and of the fatt of them. And the LORde loked vnto Abell and to his offeynge:
5 ma ọ nabataghị Ken na onyinye ya. Nke a wutere Ken, mee ka o wee iwe dị ukwuu. Ihu ya agbarụọ.
but vnto Cain and vnto his offrynge looked he not. And Cain was wroth exceadingly and loured.
6 Ma Onyenwe anyị jụrụ ya sị, “Gịnị mere i ji ewe iwe? Gịnị mere ihu gị ji gbarụọ?
And the LORde sayd vnto Cain: why art thou angry and why loureste thou? Wotest thou not yf thou dost well thou shalt receave it?
7 Ọ bụrụ na i mee ihe ziri ezi, agaghị anabata gị? Ọ bụrụkwanụ na ị jụ ime ihe ziri ezi, mmehie nọ nʼọnụ ụzọ na-eche gị ịla gị nʼiyi. Lezie anya hụ na i meriri ya.”
But and yf thou dost evell by and by thy synne lyeth open in the dore. Not withstondyng let it be subdued vnto the ad see thou rule it.
8 Ken gwara nwanne ya Ebel sị, “Bịa soro m ka anyị banye ọhịa.” Mgbe ha nọ nʼebe ahụ, Ken jidere nwanne ya gbuo ya.
And Cain talked wyth Abell his brother. And as soone as they were in the feldes Cain fell vppon Abell his brother and slewe hym
9 Emesịa, Onyenwe anyị jụrụ Ken ajụjụ sị, “Ebee ka Ebel nwanne gị nwoke nọ?” Ọ zaghachiri, “Amaghị m. Abụ m onye nche nwanne m?”
And ye LORde sayd vnto Cain: where is Abell thy brother? And he sayd: I can not tell am I my brothers keper?
10 Ma Onyenwe anyị zara sị ya, “Gịnị ka i mere? Gee ntị, ọbara nwanne gị na-akpọku m site nʼala.
And he sayd: What hast thou done? the voyce of thy brothers bloud cryeth vnto me out of the erth.
11 Site ugbu a gaa nʼihu ị bụrụla onye a bụrụ ọnụ, na onye e si nʼala chụpụ, ala ahụ meghepụrụ ọnụ ya nabata ọbara nwanne gị, site nʼaka gị.
And now cursed be thou as pertaynyng to the erth which opened hyr mouth to receaue thy brothers bloud of thyne hande.
12 Mgbe ị kụrụ ihe ọbụla nʼime ya, ala agaghị enye gị mkpụrụ ya nʼuju. Site ugbu a gaa nʼihu, ị ga-abụ onye na-awagharị awagharị na onye na-abaghị nʼihe nʼụwa.”
For when thou tyllest the grounde she shall heceforth not geve hyr power vnto the. A vagabunde and a rennagate shalt thou be vpon the erth.
13 Ken zara Onyenwe anyị, “Ntaramahụhụ i nyere m dị ukwuu karịa nke m nwere ike ibu.
And Cain sayd vnto the LORde: my synne is greater then that it may be forgeven.
14 Ugbu a, abụ m onye i si nʼala ubi ya chụpụ. Abụkwa m onye i si nʼihu gị chụpụ. Bido taa aga m abụ onye na-awagharị awagharị nʼime ụwa. Onye ọbụla hụkwara m ga-egbu m.”
Beholde thou castest me out thys day from of the face of the erth and fro thy syghte must I hyde my selfe ad I must be wandrynge and a vagabunde vpon the erth: Morover whosoever fyndeth me wyll kyll me,
15 Onyenwe anyị zara sị ya, “O nweghị onye ga-egbu gị, nʼihi na aga m atụkwasịrị onye ọbụla metụrụ gị aka ntaramahụhụ okpukpu asaa karịa nke m nyere gị.” Ya mere, Onyenwe anyị kara Ken akara iji gbochie onye ọbụla hụrụ ya igbu ya.
And the LORde sayd vnto hi Not so but whosoever sleyth Cain shalbe punyshed. vij. folde. And ye LORde put a marke vpo Cain that no ma yt founde hym shulde kyll hym.
16 Ken sitere nʼihu Onyenwe anyị pụọ gaa biri nʼala Nọd, obodo dị nʼakụkụ ọwụwa anyanwụ Iden.
And Cain went out fro the face of the LORde and dwelt in the lande Nod on the east syde of Eden.
17 Ken na nwunye ya dinakọrọ, nwunye ya tụụrụ ime mụta nwa nwoke aha ya bụ Enọk. Nʼoge a, Ken nọ na-ewu otu obodo ọ gụrụ Enọk, nke bụ aha nwa ya nwoke.
And Cain laye wyth hys wyfe which conceaved and bare Henoch. And he was buyldinge a cyte and called the name of it after the name of hys sonne Henoch.
18 Enọk bụ nna Irad, Irad bụ nna Mehujael, Mehujael bụ nna Metusael, Metusael abụrụ nna Lamek.
And Henoch begat Irad. And Irad begat Mahuiael. And Mahuiael begat Mathusael. And Mathusael begat Lamech.
19 Lamek lụrụ ụmụ nwanyị abụọ. Aha nwunye ya nke mbụ bụ Ada. Aha nke ọzọ bụ Zila.
And Lamech toke hym two wyves: the one was called Ada and the other Zilla.
20 Ada mụtara Jabal, onye bụ nna ndị na-azụ anụ ụlọ, na ndị na-ebi nʼụlọ ikwu.
And Ada bare Iabal of whome came they that dwell in tentes ad possesse catell.
21 Aha nwanne ya nwoke bụ Jubal, onye mbụ bụ nna ndị na-akpọ ụbọ akwara, na ndị na-afụ opi.
And hys brothers name was Iubal: of hym came all that excercyse them selves on the harpe and on the organs
22 Zila, mụtara otu nwa nwoke aha ya bụ Tubal Ken, onye bụ nna ndị niile na-akpụ ihe dị iche iche e ji bronz maọbụ igwe kpụọ. Aha nwanne nwanyị Tubal Ken bụ Naama.
And Zilla she also bare Tubalcain a worker in metall and a father of all that grave in brasse and yeron. And Tubalcains syster was called Naema.
23 Lamek kpọrọ ndị nwunye ya sị ha, “Geenụ m ntị, Ada na Zila, unu ndị nwunye Lamek, nụrụ okwu sị m nʼọnụ. Egbuola m otu nwoke nʼihi na ọ merụrụ m ahụ, otu nwokorobịa nʼihi na ọ mehịara m ahụ.
Then sayd Lamech vnto hys wyves Ada ad Zilla: heare my voyce ye wyves of Lamech and herken vnto my wordes for I haue slayne a man and wounded my selfe and haue slayn a yongman and gotte my selfe strypes:
24 Ọ bụrụ na a ga-abọtara Ken ọbọ ugboro asaa, mgbe ahụ, a ga-abọtara Lamek ọbọ iri ugboro asaa na asaa.”
For Cain shall be avenged sevenfolde: but Lamech seventie tymes sevenfolde.
25 Adam na Iiv dinakọrọ ọzọ, Iiv tụụrụ ime mụta nwa nwoke ọ gụrụ Set. Nʼihi na Iiv kwuru sị, “Chineke enyela m nwa nwoke ọzọ nʼọnọdụ Ebel onye Ken gburu.”
Adam also laye with hys wyfe yet agayne and she bare a sonne ad called hys name Seth For god (sayd she) hath geven me a nother sonne For Abell whom Cain slewe.
26 Set mụtara nwa nwoke gụọ ya Enọsh. Nʼoge ahụ ka ụmụ mmadụ bidoro ịkpọku aha Onyenwe anyị.
And Seth begat a sonne and called hys name Enos. And in that tyme began men to call on the name of the LORde.
