Genesisy 4
1 Ary Adama nahalala an’ i Eva vadiny; dia nanan’ anaka Eva ka niteraka an’ i Kaina, ary hoy izy: Efa nahazo zazalahy tamin’ i Jehovah aho.
And Adam knew Eve his wife: who conceived and brought forth Cain, saying: I have gotten a man through God.
2 Ary niteraka an’ i Abela rahalahiny koa izy. Ary Abela dia mpiandry ondry, fa Kaina kosa mpiasa tany.
And again she brought forth his brother Abel. And Abel was a shepherd, and Cain a husbandman.
3 Ary rehefa afaka elaela, dia nitondran’ i Kaina ny vokatry ny tany ho fanatitra ho an’ i Jehovah;
And it came to pass after many days, that Cain offered, of the fruits of the earth, gifts to the Lord.
4 fa nitondran’ i Abela kosa ny voalohan-terak’ ondriny, dia izay matavy. Ary Jehovah nankasitraka an’ i Abela mbamin’ ny fanatiny;
Abel also offered of the firstlings of his flock, and of their fat: and the Lord had respect to Abel, and to his offerings.
5 fa Kaina mbamin’ ny fanatiny kosa tsy mba nankasitrahany. Dia tezitra indrindra Kaina, sady nanjombona ny tarehiny.
But to Cain and his offerings he had no respect: and Cain was exceedingly angry, and his countenance fell.
6 Ary hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Kaina: Nahoana no tezitra ianao? Ary nahoana no manjombona ny tarehinao?
And the Lord said to him: Why art thou angry? and why is thy countenance fallen?
7 Raha tsara toetra ianao, moa tsy ho miramirana va? Fa raha tsy tsara toetra kosa ianao, dia mamitsaka eo am-baravarana ny ota; ary ianao no kendren’ ny faniriany, kanefa ianao no tokony hanapaka azy.
If thou do well, shalt thou not receive? but if ill, shall not sin forthwith be present at the door? but the lust thereof shall be under thee, and thou shalt have dominion over it.
8 Ary Kaina niteny tamin’ i Abela rahalahiny; ary nony tany an-tsaha izy mirahalahy, dia nitsangana Kaina nanatona an’ i Abela rahalahiny, ka namono azy.
And Cain said to Abel his brother: Let us go forth abroad. And when they were in the field, Cain rose up against his brother Abel, and slew him.
9 Ary hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Kaina: Aiza Abela rahalahinao? Fa hoy izy: Asa; moa mpitandrina ny rahalahiko va aho?
And the Lord said to Cain: Where is thy brother Abel? And he answered, I know not: am I my brother’s keeper?
10 Ary hoy Izy: Inona no nataonao? Ny feon’ ny ran’ ny rahalahinao mitaraina amiko avy amin’ ny tany.
And he said to him: What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother’s blood crieth to me from the earth.
11 Ary ankehitriny dia voaozona ianao hiala amin’ ny tany onenana, izay nivava hitelina ny ran’ ny rahalahinao nalatsaky ny tananao.
Now, therefore, cursed shalt thou be upon the earth, which hath opened her mouth and received the blood of thy brother at thy hand.
12 Raha miasa ny tany ianao, tsy mba hahavokatra ho anao intsony izy; ho mpanjenjena sy mpirenireny eny ambonin’ ny tany ianao.
When thou shalt till it, it shall not yield to thee its fruit: a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be upon the earth.
13 Dia hoy Kaina tamin’ i Jehovah: Lehibe ny valin’ ny heloko mihoatra noho izay zakako.
And Cain said to the Lord: My iniquity is greater than that I may deserve pardon.
14 Indro, efa noroahinao hiala amin’ ny tany onenana aho androany; dia hiery ny tavanao aho ary ho mpanjenjena sy mpirenireny eny ambonin’ ny tany; koa na iza na iza hahita ahy dia hamono ahy.
Behold thou dost cast me out this day from the face of the earth, and I shall be hidden from thy face, and I shall be a vagabond and a fugitive on the earth: every one, therefore, that findeth me, shall kill me.
15 Ary hoy Jehovah taminy: Noho izany na iza na iza hamono an’ i Kaina, dia hovaliana fito eny izy. Ary Jehovah nanao famantarana ho an’ i Kaina; mba tsy hisy hamono azy izay rehetra hahita azy.
And the Lord said to him: No, it shall not be so: but whosoever shall kill Cain, shall be punished sevenfold. And the Lord set a mark upon Cain, that whosoever found him should not kill him.
16 Ary Kaina dia niala teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah ka nonina tao amin’ ny tany Noda tandrifin’ i Edena.
And Cain went out from the face of the Lord, and dwelt as a fugitive on the earth, at the east side of Eden.
17 Ary Kaina nahalala ny vadiny, dia nanan’ anaka ravehivavy ka niteraka an’ i Enoka; ary nanorina vohitra Kaina, ka ny anaran’ ny vohitra dia nataony hoe Enoka, araka ny anaran’ ny zananilahy.
And Cain knew his wife, and she conceived, and brought forth Henoch: and he built a city, and called the name thereof by the name of his son Henoch.
18 Ary Enoka niteraka an’ Irada; ary Irada niteraka an’ i Mehojaela; ary Mehojaela niteraka an’ i Metosaela; ary Metosaela niteraka an’ i Lameka.
And Henoch begot Irad, and Irad begot Maviael, and Maviael begot Mathusael, and Mathusael begot Lamech:
19 Ary Lameka nampirafy roa: ny anaran’ ny anankiray Ada, ary ny anaran’ ny anankiray Zila.
Who took two wives: the name of the one was Ada, and the name of the other Sella.
20 Ary Ada niteraka an’ i Jabala; izy no rain’ ny mpitoetra an-day, mpiandry omby aman’ ondry.
And Ada brought forth Jabel: who was the father of such as dwell in tents, and of herdsmen.
21 Ary ny anaran’ ny rahalahiny dia Jobala; izy no rain’ ny mpitendry lokanga sy mpitsoka sodina rehetra.
And his brother’s name was Jubal; he was the father of them that play upon the harp and the organs.
22 Ary Zila kosa niteraka an’ i Tobala-kaina, mpanefy fiasana maranitra, na varahina na vy; ary ny anabavin’ i Tobala-kaina dia Nama.
Sella also brought forth Tubalcain, who was a hammerer and artificer in every work of brass and iron. And the sister of Tubalcain was Noema.
23 Ary hoy Lameka tamin’ ny vadiny: Ry Ada sy Zila ô, mihainoa ny feoko; Ry vadin’ i Lameka, mitandrema ny teniko: Efa namono lehilahy aho noho ny feriko, Ary tovolahy noho ny faharatrako.
And Lamech said to his wives Ada and Sella: Hear my voice, ye wives of Lamech, hearken to my speech: for I have slain a man to the wounding of myself, and a stripling to my own bruising.
24 Raha valiana fito heny izay mamono an’ i Kaina, Dia fito amby fito-polo heny kosa izay mamono an’ i Lameka.
Sevenfold vengeance shall be taken for Cain: but for Lamech seventy times sevenfold.
25 Ary Adama nahalala ny vadiny indray, ka dia niteraka zazalahy ravehivavy; ary ny anarany nataony hoe Seta; fa Andriamanitra, hoy izy, efa nanome ahy zanaka anankiray koa ho solon’ i Abela, satria novonoin’ i Kaina izy.
Adam also knew his wife again: and she brought forth a son, and called his name Seth, saying: God hath given me another seed, for Abel whom Cain slew.
26 Ary Seta koa niteraka zazalahy; ary ny anarany nataony hoe Enosy.
But to Seth also was born a son, whom he called Enos; this man began to call upon the name of the Lord.
