< Genesisy 4 >

1 Nandrèndreke i Haova, vali’e t’i Dame, le nivesatse naho nisamake i Kàine vaho nanao ty hoe: Nahazoako lahilahy t’Iehovà.
And Adam knew Eve his wife: who conceived and brought forth Cain, saying: I have gotten a man through God.
2 Nisamake indraike re, le i Hèbele zai’e. Nimpihare añondry t’i Hèbele le nimpiava tane t’i Kàine.
And again she brought forth his brother Abel. And Abel was a shepherd, and Cain a husbandman.
3 Ie te indraike, nibanabana ty lengom-boñe’ i taney am’ Iehovà t’i Kàine,
And it came to pass after many days, that Cain offered, of the fruits of the earth, gifts to the Lord.
4 le ninday ty valohan’ ana’ o hare’eo naho ty sabora’e t’i Hèbele. Aa le nitoliha’ Iehovà t’i Hèbele naho i banabana’ey,
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 fe tsy hinao’e t’i Kàine naho i enga’ey. Niforoforo ami’ty habose’e amy zao t’i Kàine vaho nilonjom-bintañe
But to Cain and his offerings he had no respect: and Cain was exceedingly angry, and his countenance fell.
6 Inoñe ty iviñera’o hoe t’Iehovà amy Kàine vaho ino ty mahalonjets’ azo?
And the Lord said to him: Why art thou angry? and why is thy countenance fallen?
7 Tsy hiampokòfañe hao irehe naho toloñe’o ty hiti’e? Aa naho tsy soa ty anoe’o le mangonònoke anjili-dalañe ao ty hakeo milelalela te hahazo azo, f’ie feheo.
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 Nifanaontsy amy Hèbele rahalahi’e t’i Kàine, aa ie nimb’an-teteke mb’ eo, niambotraha’ i Kàine t’i Hèbele naho nañohofa’e loza.
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 Aa le hoe t’Iehovà amy Kàine, Aia t’i Hèbele rahalahi’o? Tsy fantako, hoe re, mpiambeñ’ an-drahalahiko hao iraho?
And the Lord said to Cain: Where is thy brother Abel? And he answered, I know not: am I my brother’s keeper?
10 Hoe re: Ino o nanoe’oo? Inao! mitoreo amako boak’ an-tane ao ty feon-dion-drahalahi’o;
And he said to him: What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother’s blood crieth to me from the earth.
11 le fa nafà’ i taney irehe henane zao, ie nanoka-bava handrambe an-taña’o i lion-drahalahi’oy.
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 Aa ie miava tane henane zao le tsy hafoe’e ama’o ty haozara’e; ie ho mpirererere naho mpitralantralañe an-tane atoy.
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 Hoe t’i Kàine am’ Iehovà, Tsy leoko babeñe o fandilovañe ahio;
And Cain said to the Lord: My iniquity is greater than that I may deserve pardon.
14 anindroany irehe nanao soik’ ahy amo tarehe’ ty tane toio, naho hampietaheñe amy lahara’oy iraho, le ho mpiriorio naho mpirererere an-tane atoy, vaho songa hañoho-doza amako ze mifanojeha amako.
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 Le hoe t’Iehovà ama’e, Aiy! ho valeñe im-pito ze mamono i Kàine; vaho namiloñe i Kàine t’i Andrianañahare tsy ho vonoe’ ze hifanalaka ama’e.
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 Aa le nienga boak’ añatrefa’ Iehovà t’i Kàine, noly an-tane Rererere, atiñana’ i Edene añe.
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 Nifohi’ i Kàine ty vali’e, le niareñe, nisamake i Kanòke; ie nañoren-drova vaho nitokave’e ami’ty añara’ i Kanoke ana’e.
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 Nisamake Irade t’i Kanoke; le nisamak’ i Mehojaèle t’Irade le nisamak’ i Metosaele t’i Mehojaèle vaho nisamake i Lemeke t’i Metosaele.
And Henoch begot Irad, and Irad begot Maviael, and Maviael begot Mathusael, and Mathusael begot Lamech:
19 Nampirafe roe t’i Lemeke; le natao ty hoe Adae ty raike naho i Zilae ty raike.
Who took two wives: the name of the one was Ada, and the name of the other Sella.
20 Nisamake Iabale t’i Adae; ie ty raem-pimoneñe an-kibohotse naho mpihare.
And Ada brought forth Jabel: who was the father of such as dwell in tents, and of herdsmen.
21 Natao Iobale ty rahalahi’e, ie ty rae’ o mpititike kararàke naho solio.
And his brother’s name was Jubal; he was the father of them that play upon the harp and the organs.
22 Nisamake i Tobale-kaine t’i Zilae, ie ty nitsene ze hene haraotse torisìke naho viñe. I Naamae ty rahavave’ i Tobale-kaine.
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 Hoe t’i Lemek’ amo vali’eo: Tsanoño ty feoko ry Adae naho Zilae; Ry vali’ i Lemekeo: mitsendreña o entakoo: Vinonoko t’indaty nandratse ahy, naho ty ajalahy nandafa ahiko.
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 Aa naho i Kàine ro valeañe im-pito, Le toe impitompolo fito amby ka t’i Lemeke.
Sevenfold vengeance shall be taken for Cain: but for Lamech seventy times sevenfold.
25 Nifohi’ i Dame indraike i vali’ey, le nisamak’ ana-dahy vaho natao’e Sete ty añara’e, fa hoe i rakembay: Fa nanendre anake ho ahy t’i Andrianañahare handimbe i Hèbele vinono’ i Kàine.
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 Nahatoly anake ka t’i Sete, le natao’e Enose ty añara’e. Nifototse amy zay te nikanjy ty tahina’ Iehovà ondatio. izay ty takelam-piantoño’ i Dame.
But to Seth also was born a son, whom he called Enos; this man began to call upon the name of the Lord.
