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 had sexual contact with Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have got a man from the LORD.
2 Ary niteraka an’ i Abela rahalahiny koa izy. Ary Abela dia mpiandry ondry, fa Kaina kosa mpiasa tany.
And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.
3 Ary rehefa afaka elaela, dia nitondran’ i Kaina ny vokatry ny tany ho fanatitra ho an’ i Jehovah;
And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD.
4 fa nitondran’ i Abela kosa ny voalohan-terak’ ondriny, dia izay matavy. Ary Jehovah nankasitraka an’ i Abela mbamin’ ny fanatiny;
And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering:
5 fa Kaina mbamin’ ny fanatiny kosa tsy mba nankasitrahany. Dia tezitra indrindra Kaina, sady nanjombona ny tarehiny.
But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very 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 unto Cain, Why are you angry? and why is your 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 you do well, shall you not be accepted? and if you do not well, sin lies at the door. And unto you shall be his desire, and you shall rule over him.
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 talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, 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 unto Cain, Where is Abel your brother? And he said, 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, What have you done? the voice of your brother's blood cries unto me from the ground.
11 Ary ankehitriny dia voaozona ianao hiala amin’ ny tany onenana, izay nivava hitelina ny ran’ ny rahalahinao nalatsaky ny tananao.
And now are you cursed from the earth, which has opened her mouth to receive your brother's blood from your hand;
12 Raha miasa ny tany ianao, tsy mba hahavokatra ho anao intsony izy; ho mpanjenjena sy mpirenireny eny ambonin’ ny tany ianao.
When you till the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto you her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shall you be in the earth.
13 Dia hoy Kaina tamin’ i Jehovah: Lehibe ny valin’ ny heloko mihoatra noho izay zakako.
And Cain said unto the LORD, My punishment is greater than I can bear.
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, you have driven me out this day from the face of the earth; and from your face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass, that every one that finds me shall slay 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 unto him, Therefore whosoever slays Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the LORD set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should 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 presence of the LORD, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east 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 bare Enoch: and he built a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch.
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 unto Enoch was born Irad: and Irad brings forth Mehujael: and Mehujael brings forth Methusael: and Methusael brings forth Lamech.
19 Ary Lameka nampirafy roa: ny anaran’ ny anankiray Ada, ary ny anaran’ ny anankiray Zila.
And Lamech took unto him two wives: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah.
20 Ary Ada niteraka an’ i Jabala; izy no rain’ ny mpitoetra an-day, mpiandry omby aman’ ondry.
And Adah bare Jabal: he was the father of such as dwell in tents, and of such as have cattle.
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 all such as handle the harp and organ.
22 Ary Zila kosa niteraka an’ i Tobala-kaina, mpanefy fiasana maranitra, na varahina na vy; ary ny anabavin’ i Tobala-kaina dia Nama.
And Zillah, she also bare Tubalcain, an instructor of every artificer in brass and iron: and the sister of Tubalcain was Naamah.
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 unto his wives, Adah and Zillah, Hear my voice; all of you wives of Lamech, hearken unto my speech: for I have slain a man to my wounding, and a young man to my hurt.
24 Raha valiana fito heny izay mamono an’ i Kaina, Dia fito amby fito-polo heny kosa izay mamono an’ i Lameka.
If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, truly Lamech seventy and 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.
And Adam had sexual contact with his wife again; and she bare a son, and called his name Seth: For God, said she, has appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew.
26 Ary Seta koa niteraka zazalahy; ary ny anarany nataony hoe Enosy.
And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enos: then began men to call upon the name of the LORD.
