Olubereberye 4
1 Adamu n’amanya Kaawa, mukazi we, n’aba olubuto n’azaala Kayini n’agamba nti, “Mukama annyambye nzadde omuntu.”
And the man had connection with Eve his wife, and she became with child and gave birth to Cain, and said, I have got a man from the Lord.
2 Oluvannyuma n’azaala muganda we Aberi. Aberi n’aba mulunzi, ye Kayini n’abeera mulimi.
Then again she became with child and gave birth to Abel, his brother. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a farmer.
3 Awo ennaku bwe zaayitawo Kayini n’alyoka aleeta ebibala by’ebimera ebyava mu ttaka okubiwaayo eri Mukama.
And after a time, Cain gave to the Lord an offering of the fruits of the earth.
4 Aberi naye n’aleeta ku baana b’endiga ze ababereberye n’amasavu gaazo. Mukama n’asiima Aberi n’ekiweebwayo kye.
And Abel gave an offering of the young lambs of his flock and of their fat. And the Lord was pleased with Abel's offering;
5 Naye teyasiima Kayini wadde ekiweebwayo kye. Awo Kayini n’asunguwala nnyo, n’endabika y’amaaso ge n’ewaanyisibwa.
But in Cain and his offering he had no pleasure. And Cain was angry and his face became sad.
6 Mukama n’abuuza Kayini nti, “Osunguwalidde ki? Era n’endabika y’amaaso go lwaki ewaanyisiddwa?
And the Lord said to Cain, Why are you angry? and why is your face sad?
7 Bw’onookolanga obulungi tokkirizibwenga? Naye bw’otokole bulungi ekibi, kiri kumpi naawe, nga kikulindiridde, naye oteekwa okukiwangula.”
If you do well, will you not have honour? and if you do wrong, sin is waiting at the door, desiring to have you, but do not let it be your master.
8 Kayini n’agamba Aberi muganda we nti, “Tulageko mu nnimiro.” Bwe baali nga bali mu nnimiro Kayini n’agolokokera ku muganda we Aberi, n’amutta.
And Cain said to his brother, Let us go into the field: and when they were in the field, Cain made an attack on his brother Abel and put him to death.
9 Awo Mukama n’abuuza Kayini nti, “Muganda wo Aberi ali ludda wa?” N’amuddamu nti, “Ssimanyi; nze mukuumi wa muganda wange?”
And the Lord said to Cain, Where is your brother Abel? And he said, I have no idea: am I my brother's keeper?
10 Mukama n’amugamba nti, “Okoze ki? Eddoboozi ly’omusaayi gwa muganda wo oguyiyiddwa ku ttaka linkaabirira.
And he said, What have you done? the voice of your brother's blood is crying to me from the earth.
11 Ne kaakano okolimiddwa, era ettaka lyasamye okumira omusaayi gwa muganda wo gwe wasse.
And now you are cursed from the earth, whose mouth is open to take your brother's blood from your hand;
12 Bw’onoolimanga ettaka teriikuwenga bibala byalyo; onoobanga momboze ku nsi.”
No longer will the earth give you her fruit as the reward of your work; you will be a wanderer in flight over the earth.
13 Kayini n’agamba Mukama nti, “Ekibonerezo kyange kinzitooweredde sikisobola.
And Cain said, My punishment is greater than my strength.
14 Laba, ongobye okuva ku nsi ne mu maaso go; era nnaabanga momboze ne buli anandaba ananzita.”
You have sent me out this day from the face of the earth and from before your face; I will be a wanderer in flight over the earth, and whoever sees me will put me to death.
15 Awo Mukama n’amugamba nti, “Nedda si bwe kiri. Buli alitta Kayini ndimuwalana emirundi musanvu.” Awo Mukama n’ateeka akabonero ku Kayini, buli amulaba aleme okumutta.
And the Lord said, Truly, if Cain is put to death, seven lives will be taken for his. And the Lord put a mark on Cain so that no one might put him to death.
16 Kayini n’alyoka ava mu maaso ga Mukama, n’abeera mu nsi ya Enodi ku luuyi olw’ebuvanjuba olwa Adeni.
And Cain went away from before the face of the Lord, and made his living-place in the land of Nod on the east of Eden.
17 Kayini n’amanya mukazi we, n’aba olubuto n’azaala Enoka. Kayini n’azimba ekibuga n’akituuma erinnya lyerimu erya mutabani we Enoka.
And Cain had connection with his wife and she became with child and gave birth to Enoch: and he made a town, and gave the town the name of Enoch after his son.
18 Enoka n’azaalirwa Iradi ne Iradi n’azaala Mekujeeri, ne Mekujeeri n’azaala Mesuseera, ne Mesuseera n’azaala Lameka.
And Enoch had a son Irad: and Irad became the father of Mehujael: and Mehujael became the father of Methushael: and Methushael became the father of Lamech.
19 Lameka n’awasa abakazi babiri: omu yali Ada n’omulala nga ye Zira.
And Lamech had two wives; the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah.
20 Ada n’azaala Yabali. Ono ye yali kitaawe w’abo ababeera mu weema nga balunda.
And Adah gave birth to Jabal: he was the father of such as are living in tents and keep cattle.
21 Muganda we Yubali, ye yazaala abo abakuba ennanga n’okufuuwa omulere.
And his brother's name was Jubal: he was the father of all players on instruments of music.
22 Zira n’azaala Tubalukayini omuweesi w’eby’ekikomo n’eby’ekyuma. Ne mwannyina wa Tubalukayini nga ye Naama.
And Zillah gave birth to Tubal-cain, who is the father of every maker of cutting instruments of brass and iron: and the sister of Tubal-cain was Naamah.
23 Lameka n’agamba bakazi be nti, “Ada ne Zira, muwulire eddoboozi lyange; mwe bakazi ba Lameka, muwulirize kye ŋŋamba; nzise omusajja olw’okunfumita, nga muvubuka, olw’okunkuba.
And Lamech said to his wives, Adah and Zillah, give ear to my voice; you wives of Lamech, give attention to my words, for I would put a man to death for a wound, and a young man for a blow;
24 Obanga Kayini yawalanirwa emirundi musanvu, mazima Lameka wa kuwalanirwa emirundi nsanvu mu musanvu.”
If seven lives are to be taken as punishment for Cain's death, seventy-seven will be taken for Lamech's.
25 Awo Adamu n’amanya mukazi we, n’azaala omwana wabulenzi n’amutuuma Seezi, kubanga yayogera nti, “Katonda ampadde omwana omulala mu kifo kya Aberi, Kayini gwe yatta.”
And Adam had connection with his wife again, and she gave birth to a son to whom she gave the name of Seth: for she said, God has given me another seed in place of Abel, whom Cain put to death.
26 Seezi n’azaala omwana owoobulenzi n’amutuuma Enosi. Mu kiseera ekyo abantu ne batandika okukoowoola erinnya lya Mukama.
And Seth had a son, and he gave him the name of Enosh: at this time men first made use of the name of the Lord in worship.
