Olubereberye 4
1 Adamu n’amanya Kaawa, mukazi we, n’aba olubuto n’azaala Kayini n’agamba nti, “Mukama annyambye nzadde omuntu.”
Now Adam had marital relations with his wife Havah, and she conceived, and gave birth to Cain, and said, "I have gotten a man from God."
2 Oluvannyuma n’azaala muganda we Aberi. Aberi n’aba mulunzi, ye Kayini n’abeera mulimi.
Again she gave birth, to Cain's brother Hevel. Hevel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.
3 Awo ennaku bwe zaayitawo Kayini n’alyoka aleeta ebibala by’ebimera ebyava mu ttaka okubiwaayo eri Mukama.
As time passed, it happened that Cain brought an offering to God from the fruit of the ground.
4 Aberi naye n’aleeta ku baana b’endiga ze ababereberye n’amasavu gaazo. Mukama n’asiima Aberi n’ekiweebwayo kye.
And Hevel also brought some of the firstborn of his flock and of its fat. And God looked favorably on Hevel and his offering,
5 Naye teyasiima Kayini wadde ekiweebwayo kye. Awo Kayini n’asunguwala nnyo, n’endabika y’amaaso ge n’ewaanyisibwa.
but he did not look favorably on Cain and his offering. Cain was very angry, and the expression on his face fell.
6 Mukama n’abuuza Kayini nti, “Osunguwalidde ki? Era n’endabika y’amaaso go lwaki ewaanyisiddwa?
God said to Cain, "Why are you angry? Why has the expression of your face fallen?
7 Bw’onookolanga obulungi tokkirizibwenga? Naye bw’otokole bulungi ekibi, kiri kumpi naawe, nga kikulindiridde, naye oteekwa okukiwangula.”
If you do well, will it not be lifted up? If you do not do well, sin lies in wait at the door. It desires to control you, but you must rule over it."
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.
Cain said to Hevel, his brother, "Let's go into the field." It happened when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Hevel, his brother, and killed him.
9 Awo Mukama n’abuuza Kayini nti, “Muganda wo Aberi ali ludda wa?” N’amuddamu nti, “Ssimanyi; nze mukuumi wa muganda wange?”
Then God said to Cain, "Where is Hevel, your brother?" He said, "I do not know. Am I my brother's keeper?"
10 Mukama n’amugamba nti, “Okoze ki? Eddoboozi ly’omusaayi gwa muganda wo oguyiyiddwa ku ttaka linkaabirira.
And God said, "What have you done? The voice of your brother's blood cries out to me from the ground.
11 Ne kaakano okolimiddwa, era ettaka lyasamye okumira omusaayi gwa muganda wo gwe wasse.
Now you are cursed because of the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother's blood from your hand.
12 Bw’onoolimanga ettaka teriikuwenga bibala byalyo; onoobanga momboze ku nsi.”
From now on, when you till the ground, it won't yield its strength to you. You shall be a fugitive and a wanderer in the earth."
13 Kayini n’agamba Mukama nti, “Ekibonerezo kyange kinzitooweredde sikisobola.
Cain said to God, "My punishment is greater than I can bear.
14 Laba, ongobye okuva ku nsi ne mu maaso go; era nnaabanga momboze ne buli anandaba ananzita.”
Look, you have driven me out this day from the surface of the ground. I will be hidden from your face, and I will be a fugitive and a wanderer in the earth. It will happen that whoever finds me will kill me."
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 God said to him, "Not so. Whoever kills Cain vengeance will be taken on him sevenfold." And God appointed a sign for Cain, lest any finding him should strike him.
16 Kayini n’alyoka ava mu maaso ga Mukama, n’abeera mu nsi ya Enodi ku luuyi olw’ebuvanjuba olwa Adeni.
So Cain went out from the presence of God and lived in the land of Nod, 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.
Cain had marital relations with his wife, and she conceived and gave birth to Hanokh. He built a city and called the name of the city after the name of his son, Hanokh.
18 Enoka n’azaalirwa Iradi ne Iradi n’azaala Mekujeeri, ne Mekujeeri n’azaala Mesuseera, ne Mesuseera n’azaala Lameka.
To Hanokh was born Irad, and Irad became the father of Mehaiel, and Mehaiel 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.
Lamech took 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.
Adah gave birth to Jabal, who was the father of those who dwell in tents and have livestock.
21 Muganda we Yubali, ye yazaala abo abakuba ennanga n’okufuuwa omulere.
His brother's name was Jubal, who was the father of all who play the harp and flute.
22 Zira n’azaala Tubalukayini omuweesi w’eby’ekikomo n’eby’ekyuma. Ne mwannyina wa Tubalukayini nga ye Naama.
Zillah also gave birth to Tubal Cain, who heated metal and shaped instruments of bronze and iron. Tubal Cain's sister 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.
Lamech said to his wives, "Adah and Zillah, hear my voice. You wives of Lamech, listen to my speech, for I have slain a man for wounding me, a young man for bruising me.
24 Obanga Kayini yawalanirwa emirundi musanvu, mazima Lameka wa kuwalanirwa emirundi nsanvu mu musanvu.”
If Cain will be avenged seven times, truly Lamech seventy-seven times."
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.”
Adam had marital relations with his wife again, and she gave birth to a son, and named him Seth, saying, "For God has appointed me another child instead of Hevel, for Cain killed him."
26 Seezi n’azaala omwana owoobulenzi n’amutuuma Enosi. Mu kiseera ekyo abantu ne batandika okukoowoola erinnya lya Mukama.
And a son was also born to Seth, and he named him Enosh. This one began to call on the name of God.
