UGenesisi 4
1 U-Adamu wembatha lomkakhe u-Eva, wasezithwala, wabeletha uKhayini. Wathi, “Ngosizo lukaThixo sengibelethe indoda.”
A IKE aku la o Adamu i kana wahine ia Eva; hapai ae la oia, a hanau mai la ia I Kaina, i mai la, Ua loaa no ia'u he kanaka no Iehova mai.
2 Muva wabeletha umfowabo u-Abheli. U-Abheli waba ngumfuyi wemihlambi yezimvu, uKhayini yena wasebenza umhlabathi.
Hanau hou iho la oia i kona kaikaina ia Abela. He kahuhipa o Abela, a he mahiai o Kaina.
3 Ngokuya kwesikhathi uKhayini waletha ezinye izithelo zomhlabathi ukuba ngumnikelo kuThixo.
Mahope iho o na la, lawe aku la o Kaina i kekahi hua o ka honua i mohai na Iehova.
4 Kodwa u-Abheli waletha izitho ezinonileyo zisuka kwamanye amazibulo omhlambi wakhe. UThixo wathokoza ngo-Abheli kanye lomnikelo wakhe,
Lawe aku la hoi o Abela i kekahi o na hanau mua o kana poe hipa, i na mea momona hoi. A maliu mai la o Iehova ia Abela a me kana mohai:
5 kodwa kathokozanga ngoKhayini lomnikelo wakhe. Ngakho uKhayini wazonda kakhulu, lobuso bakhe bahloba.
Aka, aole ia i maliu mai ia Kaina a me kana mohai. Huhu loa iho la o Kaina, a kulou iho la kona maka ilalo.
6 UThixo wasesithi kuKhayini, “Uzondeleni na? Kungani ubuso bakho buhlobile?
I mai la o Iehova ia Kaina, Heaha kau i huhu ai? No ke aha hoi i kulou iho ai kou maka ilalo!
7 Nxa usenza okulungileyo, kawuyikwamukelwa yini? Kodwa nxa ungenzi okulungileyo, isono sikucathamele emnyango wakho; sinxwanele ukukuthumba, kodwa kumele usehlule.”
A i hana pono oe, aole anei oe e maliuia'ku? a i ole oe e hana i ka pono, ke waiho la ka mohai hala ma ka puka. A ia oe no ko ia la makemake, a e alii iho oe maluna ona.
8 UKhayini wasesithi kumfowabo u-Abheli, “Ake sihambe siye egangeni.” Kwathi bekhonale egangeni uKhayini wamhlasela umfowabo u-Abheli wambulala.
Kamailio ae la o Kaina me kona kaikaina, me Abela: a ia laua ma ka waena, ku ae la o Kaina me ke ku e i kona kaikaina ia Abela, pepehi iho la ia ia a make.
9 UThixo wasesithi kuKhayini, “Ungaphi umfowenu u-Abheli na?” Waphendula wathi, “Angazi. Ngingumgcini womfowethu na?”
Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Kaina, Auhea la o Abela o kou kaikaina! I aku la oia, Aole au i ike: owau anei ke kahu o kuu kaikaina!
10 UThixo wathi, “Usuyenzeni? Lalela! Igazi lomfowenu liyakhala kimi lisuka emhlabathini.
I mai la kela, Heaha kau i hana iho net? ke hea mai nei ka leo o ke koko o kou kaikaina ia'u mai ka lepo mai.
11 Manje usuqalekisiwe njalo usuxotshiwe kuwo umhlabathi ovule umlomo wawo ukwamukela igazi lomfowenu lisuka esandleni sakho.
Ma keia hone aku, e hoohewaia'ku ai oe mai ka honua ae, i hamama ae kona waha e ale i ke koko o kou kaikaina, na kou lima aku.
12 Lapho uwusebenza umhlabathi kawusayi kuthela amabele kuwe. Uzakuba luzulane emhlabeni.”
I kou mahi ana i ka honua, aole ia e hua mai ma keia hope i kona momona: a e lilo hoi oe i kanaka aea a me ke kuewa wale maluna o ka honua.
13 UKhayini wathi kuThixo, “Isijeziso sami singaphezu kwamandla ami.
I aku la o Kaina ia Iehova, He nui loa kuu hewa: aole paha ia e hiki ke kalaia.
14 Lamuhla usungixotsha elizweni, ngakho sengizasithela ngingabi khona kuwe; ngizakuba luzulane olungela kuphumula emhlabeni, kuthi loba ngubani ongifumanayo angibulale.”
Aia hoi, ua kipaku aku oe ia'u i keia la mai ke alo aku o ka honua nei; a ua hookaawaleia au mai kou alo aku; a e lilo ana au i kanaka aea me ke kuewa wale maluna o ka honua; a i loaa au i kekahi, e pepehi mai ia ia'u a make.
15 Kodwa uThixo wathi kuye, “Akunjalo; lowo ozabulala uKhayini uzaphindiselwa ngokuphindwe kasikhombisa.” Ngakho uThixo wasebeka uphawu kuKhayini ukuze kuthi lowo omfumanayo angambulali.
I mai la o Iehova ia ia, Nolaila, o ka mea nana e pepehi ia Kaina, e pahiku ka hoopai ana i kona hewa. A kau iho la o Iehova i hoailona maluna o Kaina, o loaa ia i kekahi nana ia e pepehi aku a make.
16 Ngakho uKhayini wasesuka emehlweni kaThixo wayahlala elizweni laseNodi, empumalanga kwase-Edeni.
Hele aku la o Kaina mai ke alo aku o Iehova, a noho iho la ma ka aina o Noda, ma ka hikina o Edena.
17 UKhayini wembatha lomkakhe, wathatha isisu wazala u-Enoki. Ngalesosikhathi uKhayini wayesakha idolobho alibiza ngendodana yakhe u-Enoki.
Ike aku la o Kaina i kana wahine; hapai ae la oia, a hanau mai la ia Enoka: kukulu iho la oia i kulanakauhale, a kapa iho la i ka inoa o ua kulanakauhale la, mamuli o ka inoa o kana keiki, o Enoka.
18 Ku-Enoki kwazalwa u-Iradi, yena u-Iradi waba nguyise kaMehujayeli, uMehujayeli waba nguyise kaMethushayeli, uMethushayeli waba nguyise kaLameki.
Na Enoka hoi i hanau mai o Irada: na Irada hoi o Mehuiaela: na Mehuiaela o Metusaela: na Metusaela o Lameka.
19 ULameki wathatha abafazi ababili, omunye ethiwa ngu-Ada, omunye ethiwa nguZila.
Lawe ae la o Lameka i na wahine elua nana: o Ada ka inoa o kekahi, a o Zila ka inoa o kekahi.
20 U-Ada wazala uJabhali; owayenguyise walabo abahlala emathenteni befuye izifuyo.
Na Ada i hanau mai o Iabala: o ka makamua ia o ka poe noho halelewa, a o ka hanai holoholona.
21 Ibizo lomfowabo lalinguJubhali; wayenguyise wabo bonke abatshaya umhubhe lechacho.
A o Iubala ka inoa o kona kaikaina: o ka makamua ia o ka poe a pau i hookani i ka lira a me ka ohe.
22 UZila laye waba lendodana, uThubhali-Khayini, owayekhanda zonke inhlobo zezinto ngethusi langensimbi. Udadewabo kaThubhali-Khayini wayenguNahama.
A o Zila, hanau mai no hoi nana o Tubalakaina, oia ke kumu a na paahana a pau e kui ana i ke keleawe a me Ka hao: a o Naama ke kaikuwahine o Tubalakaina.
23 ULameki wathi kubomkakhe, “Ada loZila, ngilalelani; bafazi bakaLameki, zwanini amazwi ami. Sengibulele umuntu ngenxa yokungilimaza, ijaha ngoba lingihlasele.
I aku la o Lameka i na wahine ana, ia Ada, laua o Zila, E hoolohe mai olua i ko'u leo; e na wahine a Lameka, e haliu mai i ka'u olelo: no ka mea, ua pepehi iho la au i ke kanaka no ka hoeha ana mai ia'u, i ke kanaka opiopio no ka paopao ana mai ia'u.
24 Nxa uKhayini ephindiselwa kasikhombisa ngakho uLameki amatshumi ayisikhombisa lesikhombisa.”
Ina paha e pahiku ka hoopai ana no Kama, he oiaio no, e pakanahiku me kumamahiku hoi ia no Lameka.
25 U-Adamu waphinda wembatha lomkakhe njalo, wazala indodana wayithi nguSethi, esithi, “UNkulunkulu usengiphile omunye umntwana endaweni ka-Abheli, njengoba uKhayini wambulala.”
Ike hou iho la o Adamu i kana wahine; a hanau mai la ia he keikikane, a kapa aku la i kona inoa o I Seta: No ka mea, ua haawi mai la ke Akua i ka hua hou na'u, wahi ana, i panihakahaka no Abela i pepehiia e Kaina.
26 USethi laye waba lendodana, wayibiza ngokuthi ngu-Enoshi. Ngalesosikhathi abantu baqala ukukhuleka bebiza ibizo likaThixo.
Na Seta hoi i hanau kekahi keikikane; a kapa iho ia i kona inoa o Enosa: ia manawa ka hoomaka ana o na kanaka e kahea aku i ka inoa o Iehova.
