Genesis 4
1 Kinaidda ti lalaki ti asawana a ni Eva. Nagsikog isuna ket impasngayna ni Cain. Kinuna ti babai, “Nangipasngayak iti lalaki babaen iti tulong ni Yahweh.”
Adam (had sex/slept) with his wife Eve, and she became pregnant and gave birth to a son whom she named Cain, [which sounds like the word that means ‘produce’], because, she said, “By Yahweh’s help I have produced a son.” Some time later she gave birth to another son, and she named him Abel.
2 Kalpasanna, impasngayna ti kabsat ni Cain a ni Abel. Ita, ni Abel ket nagbalin nga agpaspastor, idinto a ni Cain ket nagtrabaho iti daga.
[After those boys grew up], Abel (tended/took care of) sheep and goats, and Cain became a farmer.
3 Napasamak nga iti panaglabas ti tiempo, nangidatag ni Cain kadagiti bunga ti daga kas daton kenni Yahweh.
One day Cain harvested some of the crops he had grown and brought them to Yahweh as a gift for him,
4 Ni Abel met ket nangidatag manipud kadagiti umuna nga annak ti arbanna ken kadagiti taba. Inawat ni Yahweh ni Abel ken ti datonna,
and Abel took from his flock some of the first lambs that had been born [and killed them] and, as a gift, gave to Yahweh the fatty parts, [which were the best parts]. Yahweh was pleased with Abel and his offering,
5 ngem saanna nga inawat ni Cain ken ti datonna. Isu a nakaunget unay ni Cain, ket nagruppanget isuna.
but he was not pleased with Cain and his offering. So Cain became very angry, and his face looked dejected.
6 Kinuna ni Yahweh kenni Cain, “Apay ngay met a makaunget ken nakaruppangetka?
Yahweh said to Cain, “(You should not be angry!/Why are you angry?) [RHQ] (You should not scowl like that!/Why do you scowl like that?) [RHQ]
7 No ar-aramidem ti umno, saanka kadi nga awaten? Ngem no saanmo nga ar-aramiden ti umno, agur-uray ti basol iti ruangan ket tartarigagayannaka a tenglen, ngem masapul nga iturayam daytoy.”
If you had done what was right (OR, if you do what is right) [RHQ], I would accept your offering. But if you do not do what is right, [your desire to] sin [is ready to attack you like a wild animal that] [PRS] crouches outside the doorway, [ready to spring on its victim] [MET]. [Your desire to] sin wants to control you, but you must (control/not obey) it.”
8 Nakisarita ni Cain iti kabsatna a ni Abel, ket kabayatan nga addada iti kataltalunan, dinuklos ni Cain ti kabsatna a ni Abel ket pinatayna isuna.
But one day, Cain said to his younger brother Abel, “Let’s go for a walk in the fields.” [So they went together]. And when they were in the countryside, suddenly Cain attacked Abel and killed him.
9 Kalpasanna, kinuna ni Yahweh kenni Cain, “Sadino ti ayan ti kabsatmo a ni Abel?” Kinunana, “Saanko nga ammo. Siak aya ti para-aywan iti kabsatko?”
[Later, even though] Yahweh [knew what Cain had done], he said to Cain, “[Do you know] where Abel, your younger brother, is?” Cain replied, “No, I do not know. (My job is not to guard my younger brother!/Am I supposed to take care of my younger brother?)” [RHQ]
10 Kinuna ni Yahweh, “Ania ti inaramidmo? Umaw-awag kaniak ti dara ti kabsatmo manipud iti daga.
Yahweh said, “You have done a terrible thing [RHQ]! So now [it is as though] your younger brother’s voice is crying to me from the ground, demanding that his death must be avenged.
11 Ita, nailunodka iti daga, inungapna dagiti ngiwatna a mangawat iti dara ti kabsatmo manipud iti imam.
You have killed your younger brother, and the ground has soaked up his blood. So now I will expel you from this land and curse your efforts to produce crops.
12 Manipud ita, no sukayem ti daga, saanna nga ipaay ti pigsana kenka. Aglemmelemmeng ken agalla-allakanto iti daga.”
You will till the ground to plant crops, but the ground will produce very few [HYP] crops. And you will continually wander around the earth, and not have any place to live permanently.”
13 Kinuna ni Cain kenni Yahweh,” Ti dusak ket dakdakkel ngem iti kabaelak.
Cain replied, “You are punishing me more then I can endure.
14 Pudno, iti daytoy nga aldaw ket pinatalawnakon manipud iti daytoy a daga ket mailemmengakto manipud iti rupam. Aglemmelemmeng ken agalla-allaakto iti daga, ket siasinoman a makasarak kaniak ket patayennak.”
You are about to expel me from the ground [that I have been cultivating], and I will no longer be able to come (into your presence/and talk with you). Furthermore, I will be continually wandering around the earth with no place to live permanently, and anyone who sees me will kill me.”
15 Kinuna ni Yahweh kenkuana, “No addaman ti mangpapatay kenni Cain, mabalesto isuna iti maminpito a daras.” Kalpasanna, minarkaan ni Yahweh ni Cain, tapno saanto isuna a dangran ti siasinoman a tao a makasarak kenkuana.
But Yahweh said to him, “No, that will not happen. I will put a mark on you to warn anyone who sees you that [I will punish him severely if] he kills you. I will punish that person seven times as severely as I am punishing you.” Then Yahweh put a mark on Cain’s forehead.
16 Isu a pimmanaw ni Cain manipud iti presensia ni Yahweh ket nagnaed iti daga iti Nod, iti daya iti Eden.
So Cain left Yahweh and went to live in the land called Nod, [which means ‘wandering’], which was east of Eden.
17 Kinaidda ni Cain ti asawana ket nagsikog. Impasngayna ni Enoc. Nangibangon isuna iti siudad ket pinanagananna daytoy nga insurotna iti nagan ti putotna a ni Enoc.
Some time later, Cain (had sex/slept) with his wife, and she [became pregnant and] gave birth to a son, whom she named Enoch. Then Cain started to build a city, and he named the city ‘Enoch’, the same name that his son had.
18 Naaddaan ni Enoc iti putot ket isu ni Irad. Naaddaan ni Irad iti putot ket isu ni Mehujael. Naaddan ni Mehujael iti putot ket isu ni Metusael. Naaddaan ni Metusael iti putot ket isu ni Lamec.
Enoch [grew up and married and] became the father of a son whom he named Irad. When Irad [grew up he] became the father of a son whom he named Mehujael. Mehujael [grew up and] became the father of a son whom he named Methuselah. Methuselah [grew up and] became the father of Lamech.
19 Dua iti inasawa ni Lamec: Ada ti nagan ti maysa ken Zilla met ti nagan ti maysa.
When Lamech [grew up he] married two women. The name of one was Adah and the other was Zillah.
20 Impasngay ni Ada ni Jabal. Isuna ti ama dagiti agnanaed kadagiti tolda nga addaan kadagiti taraken nga ayup.
Adah gave birth to [a son she named] Jabal.
21 Jubal ti nagan ti kabsatna a lalaki. Isuna ti ama dagiti agtuktukar iti arpa ken plauta.
Later, Jabal was the first person who lived in tents because he traveled from place to place to take care of livestock. His younger brother’s name was Jubal. He was the first person who made/played a (lyre/stringed instrument) and a flute.
22 Ni Zilla met, impasngayna ni Tubal Cain, nga agpanpanday kadagiti alikamen a tanso ken landok. Ti kabsat a babai ni Tubal Cain ket ni Naama.
[Lamech’s other wife] Zillah gave birth to a son whom she named Tubal-Cain. Later Tubal-Cain became a (blacksmith/one who made tools from bronze and iron). Tubal-Cain had a younger sister whose name was Naamah.
23 Kinuna ni Lamec kadagiti assawana, “Ada ken Zilla, dummegkayo iti timekko; dakayo nga assawa ni Lamec, dumngegkayo iti ibagak. Ta nakapatayak iti lalaki gapu iti panangsugatna kaniak, maysa nga agtutubo a lalaki gapu ta dinunornak.
One day Lamech said to his two wives, “Adah and Zillah, listen carefully to what I am saying. A young man struck me and wounded me, so I killed him.
24 No ni Cain ket naibales iti naminpito a daras, pudno a maibales ni Lamec iti pitopulo ket pito a daras.”
Yahweh said long ago that he would avenge and punish anyone who killed Cain seven times as much as he punished Cain [for killing his younger brother]. So if anyone [tries to] kill me, I will punish him 77 times as much [as Yahweh punished Cain].”
25 Kinaidda manen ni Adan ti asawana ket naganak iti maysa pay a lalaki. Pinanaganan ni Eva dayta iti Set ket kinunana, “Inikkannak ti Dios iti maysa pay nga anak a lalaki a kasukat ni Abel, ta pinatay isuna ni Cain.”
Adam continued to (have sex/sleep) with [EUP] his wife, and she [became pregnant and] gave birth to another son, whom she named Seth, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘given’], because, she said, “God has given me another child to take the place of Abel, since Cain killed him.”
26 Naaddaan ni Set iti putot ket pinanagananna iti Enos. Kalpasanna, ket inrugi dagiti tattao nga immawag iti nagan ni Yahweh.
When Seth grew up, he became the father of a son whom he named Enosh. About that time people began to worship Yahweh [again].
