Ebandeli 4
1 Adamu asangisaki nzoto na mwasi na ye Eva; mpe Eva akomaki na zemi, bongo abotaki Kayina. Alobaki: « Nasali moto na lisungi ya Yawe. »
Afterward the man knew Heuah his wife, which conceiued and bare Kain, and said, I haue obteined a man by the Lord.
2 Sima na yango, abotaki lisusu Abele, ndeko ya Kayina. Abele akomaki kobokola bibwele mpe Kayina akomaki kosala bilanga.
And againe she brought foorth his brother Habel, and Habel was a keeper of sheepe, and Kain was a tiller of the ground.
3 Sima na mwa tango, Kayina amemaki mbuma ya mabele mpo na kobonzela Yawe.
And in processe of time it came to passe, that Kain brought an oblation vnto the Lord of the fruite of the ground.
4 Abele, ye mpe amemaki bibwele oyo ebotamaki liboso kati na etonga na ye mpe biteni oyo eleki mafuta. Yawe asepelaki na Abele mpe na makabo na ye,
And Habel also him selfe brought of the first fruites of his sheepe, and of the fat of them, and the Lord had respect vnto Habel, and to his offering,
5 kasi asepelaki te na Kayina mpe na makabo na ye. Bongo, Kayina asilikaki makasi mpe elongi na ye ekomaki mawa-mawa.
But vnto Kain and to his offering he had no regarde: wherefore Kain was exceeding wroth, and his countenance fell downe.
6 Yawe alobaki na Kayina: — Mpo na nini osiliki? Mpo na nini elongi na yo ekomi mawa-mawa?
Then ye Lord said vnto Kain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance cast downe?
7 Boni, soki osali malamu, bakondima yo te? Kasi soki osali malamu te, lisumu elali penza na ekuke na yo, mpe posa na yango ezali kobenda yo makasi; kasi yo, longa yango.
If thou do well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sinne lieth at the doore: also vnto thee his desire shalbe subiect, and thou shalt rule ouer him.
8 Kayina alobaki na Abele, ndeko na ye. Wana bazalaki kati na bilanga, Kayina akangaki Abele, ndeko na ye, mpe abomaki ye.
Then Kain spake to Habel his brother. And when they were in the fielde, Kain rose vp against Habel his brother, and slewe him.
9 Yawe atunaki Kayina: — Wapi ndeko na yo Abele? Kayina azongisaki: — Nayebi te. Boni, ngai nazali mokengeli ya ndeko na ngai?
Then the Lord said vnto Kain, Where is Habel thy brother? Who answered, I cannot tell. Am I my brothers keeper?
10 Nzambe alobaki: — Osali nini? Likambo nini penza osali? Makila ya ndeko na yo ezali koganga wuta na mabele kino epai na Ngai.
Againe he said, What hast thou done? the voyce of thy brothers blood cryeth vnto me from the earth.
11 Sik’oyo, olakelami mabe mpe obwakami mosika ya mabele oyo efungolaki monoko na yango mpo na komela makila ya ndeko na yo, oyo maboko na yo esopaki.
Now therefore thou art cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receiue thy brothers blood from thine hand.
12 Tango okobalola mabele, ekobotela yo mbuma te. Okozala koyengayenga mpe kotelengana na mokili.
When thou shalt till the grounde, it shall not henceforth yeelde vnto thee her strength: a vagabond and a runnagate shalt thou be in the earth.
13 Kayina alobaki na Yawe: — Etumbu na ngai eleki pasi mpo na komema!
Then Kain said to the Lord, My punishment is greater, then I can beare.
14 Tala, obwaki ngai lelo mosika ya mabele; nasengeli sik’oyo kobombama liboso na Yo, nakokoma koyengayenga mpe kotelengana na mokili, mpe moto nyonso oyo akomona ngai akoboma ngai.
Behold, thou hast cast me out this day from the earth, and from thy face shall I be hid, and shalbe a vagabond, and a runnagate in the earth, and whosoeuer findeth me, shall slay me.
15 Kasi Yawe alobaki na ye: — Ezali bongo te! Soki moto abomi Kayina, bakozongisa mabe mpo na Kayina mbala sambo. Mpe Yawe atiaki elembo na nzoto ya Kayina na tina ete moto oyo akokutana na ye aboma ye te.
Then the Lord said vnto him, Doubtlesse whosoeuer slayeth Kain, he shalbe punished seue folde. And the Lord set a marke vpon Kain, lest any man finding him should kill him.
16 Kayina alongwaki liboso ya Yawe, akendeki kovanda na mokili ya Nodi, na este ya Edeni.
Then Kain went out from the presence of the Lord, and dwelt in the land of Nod towarde the Eastside of Eden.
17 Kayina asangisaki nzoto na mwasi na ye; mpe mwasi na ye akomaki na zemi, bongo abotaki Enoki. Kayina atongaki engumba. Apesaki yango kombo « Enoki, » kombo ya mwana na ye ya mobali.
Kain also knewe his wife, which conceiued and bare Henoch: and he built a citie, and called the name of the citie by ye name of his sonne, Henoch.
18 Enoki abotaki Iradi; Iradi abotaki Mewuyayeli; Mewuyayeli abotaki Metusaeli; Metusaeli abotaki Lemeki.
And to Henoch was borne Irad, and Irad begate Mehuiael, and Mehuiael begate Methushael, and Methushael begate Lamech.
19 Lemeki abalaki basi mibale: moko, kombo na ye ezalaki « Ada, » mpe mosusu, « Tsila. »
And Lamech tooke him two wiues: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah.
20 Ada abotaki Yabali, koko ya bavandi ya bandako ya kapo mpe ya babokoli bibwele.
And Adah bare Iabal, who was the father of such as dwell in the tents, and of such as haue cattell.
21 Ndeko na ye ya mobali, Yubali, azalaki koko ya bato oyo babetaka lindanda mpe flite.
And his brothers name was Iubal, who was the father of all that play on the harpe and organes.
22 Tsila mpe abotaki mwana mobali, Tubali-Kayina, oyo azalaki kosala bisalelo nyonso ya bronze mpe ya bibende. Tubali-Kayina azalaki na ndeko mwasi, kombo na ye ezalaki « Naama. »
And Zillah also bare Tubal-kain, who wrought cunningly euery craft of brasse and of yron: and the sister of Tubal-kain was Naamah.
23 Lemeki alobaki na basi na ye: « Ada mpe Tsila, boyoka ngai malamu; bino basi ya Lemeki, bolanda ngai malamu: Solo, likolo ya pota moko, ngai nabomaki moto; mpe likolo ya mwa pota, nabomaki elenge mobali!
Then Lamech saide vnto his wiues Adah and Zillah, Heare my voyce, ye wiues of Lamech: hearken vnto my speach: for I would slay a man in my wound, and a yong man in mine hurt.
24 Solo, bakozongisa mbala sambo mabe oyo basali Kayina; kasi mpo na Lemeki, ekozala mbala tuku sambo na sambo! »
If Kain shalbe auenged seuen folde, truely Lamech, seuentie times seuen folde.
25 Adamu asangisaki lisusu nzoto na mwasi na ye, bongo mwasi na ye abotaki Seti, pamba te alobaki: « Nzambe apesi ngai mwana mosusu na esika ya Abele oyo Kayina abomaki. »
And Adam knewe his wife againe, and she bare a sonne, and she called his name Sheth: for God, saide she, hath appointed me another seede for Habel, because Kain slewe him.
26 Seti mpe abotaki mwana mobali, apesaki ye kombo « Enoshi. » Ezalaki na tango wana nde bato bakomaki kobelela Kombo ya Yawe.
And to ye same Sheth also there was borne a sonne, and he called his name Enosh. Then beganne men to call vpon the name of the Lord.
