UGenesisi 4
1 U-Adamu wembatha lomkakhe u-Eva, wasezithwala, wabeletha uKhayini. Wathi, “Ngosizo lukaThixo sengibelethe indoda.”
Adamu'a nenaro Ivi'ene masegeno amu'ene huno ne'mofavre kasenenteno ana a'mo'a huno, Anumzamo naza hige'na ne'mofavre erifore hue, nehuno Keni'e huno agi'a antemi'ne.
2 Muva wabeletha umfowabo u-Abheli. U-Abheli waba ngumfuyi wemihlambi yezimvu, uKhayini yena wasebenza umhlabathi.
Hagi henka Ivi'a Keni neganana Abeli kasentegeno ana ne'mo'a ra huno sipisipi afu kegava higeno, Keni'a mopafi eri'za erino hoza anteno kegava hu'ne.
3 Ngokuya kwesikhathi uKhayini waletha ezinye izithelo zomhlabathi ukuba ngumnikelo kuThixo.
Magokna Keni'a Ra Anumzamofo ofa hunteku hoza'afinti ne'za erino e'ne.
4 Kodwa u-Abheli waletha izitho ezinonileyo zisuka kwamanye amazibulo omhlambi wakhe. UThixo wathokoza ngo-Abheli kanye lomnikelo wakhe,
Ana higeno Abeli'a sipisipi afutamimpinti afovage hu'nea agonesa afu mago aheno eme Kresramana vuntegeno, Ra Anumzamo'a negeno Abelina antahi muse hunte'ne.
5 kodwa kathokozanga ngoKhayini lomnikelo wakhe. Ngakho uKhayini wazonda kakhulu, lobuso bakhe bahloba.
Hianagi Keni'ma ofa hunte'neaza keteno, Anumzamo'a antahi musena huontegeno, Kenina tusi asi vazigeno avugosa rugriri'ne.
6 UThixo wasesithi kuKhayini, “Uzondeleni na? Kungani ubuso bakho buhlobile?
Ana higeno Ra Anumzamo'a negeno Keninkura amanage hu'ne, Nahigenka krimpagna nehunka kavugosa runegaririne?
7 Nxa usenza okulungileyo, kawuyikwamukelwa yini? Kodwa nxa ungenzi okulungileyo, isono sikucathamele emnyango wakho; sinxwanele ukukuthumba, kodwa kumele usehlule.”
Hagi kagra'ma knare kavu'kava'ma hantesina Nagra muse hugantosine. Hanki kagrama havizama hanankeno'a, kumimo'a kazeri kagateregahianki, kagra hankavetinka mani'nenka kumira azeri agatero.
8 UKhayini wasesithi kumfowabo u-Abheli, “Ake sihambe siye egangeni.” Kwathi bekhonale egangeni uKhayini wamhlasela umfowabo u-Abheli wambulala.
Hagi mago knazupa Keni'a nagana'amofo Abelinku hofa trampi vanu'e huno agi higeke, vukema ana hofa trampi umanineke, Keni'a nagna'amofo Abelina ahe fri'ne.
9 UThixo wasesithi kuKhayini, “Ungaphi umfowenu u-Abheli na?” Waphendula wathi, “Angazi. Ngingumgcini womfowethu na?”
Anante Ra Anumzamo'a Kenina antahigeno, Negagna Abeli'a inantega mani'ne? Higeno Keni'a huno, Nagra onke'noanki, Kagrama kagesama antahinana nagra nagananimofo kva hunte ne' mani'nofi?
10 UThixo wathi, “Usuyenzeni? Lalela! Igazi lomfowenu liyakhala kimi lisuka emhlabathini.
Higeno Ra Anumzana Anumzamo'a amanage hu'ne, Kagra na'a higenka kefo kavukvara hu'nane? Nagnakamofo koramo'a mopafi tagiramineno keaga hunto huno Nagritega krafage nehie.
11 Manje usuqalekisiwe njalo usuxotshiwe kuwo umhlabathi ovule umlomo wawo ukwamukela igazi lomfowenu lisuka esandleni sakho.
Hagi nagna kamofoma ahenka eri taginana koramo'a, mopafi tagiramigeno mopamo ne'negu, ana mopa kazusi huntoankino ne'zana forera osugahie.
12 Lapho uwusebenza umhlabathi kawusayi kuthela amabele kuwe. Uzakuba luzulane emhlabeni.”
Hagi mopafima hozama erinka antesnana hozamo'a, hikazake huno nena ahenonte'na, nonka'a omanena kanke kanke hunka ama mopafina vano hugahane.
13 UKhayini wathi kuThixo, “Isijeziso sami singaphezu kwamandla ami.
Keni'a amanage huno Ra Anumzamofo kenona hu'ne, Nagri'ma hunantana kemo'a tusi'a kna navesie!
14 Lamuhla usungixotsha elizweni, ngakho sengizasithela ngingabi khona kuwe; ngizakuba luzulane olungela kuphumula emhlabeni, kuthi loba ngubani ongifumanayo angibulale.”
Hanki kama antahio! Kagra ama mopafinti nagrira meni nazeri atranankina, Kagri kavuga omaninugeno, noni'a omane'nenigena ama mopafina kanke kanke neha'nena, aza'o nagesuno'a nahe frigahie.
15 Kodwa uThixo wathi kuye, “Akunjalo; lowo ozabulala uKhayini uzaphindiselwa ngokuphindwe kasikhombisa.” Ngakho uThixo wasebeka uphawu kuKhayini ukuze kuthi lowo omfumanayo angambulali.
Higeno Ra Anumzamo'a kenona'a huno, Kagri'ma kahesimo'a ana nona'a 7ni'a zupa kna'zana agetereno erigahie, nehuno Kenima vahe'mo'zama negezama ohesnagu mago avame'za agofetu antente'ne.
16 Ngakho uKhayini wasesuka emehlweni kaThixo wayahlala elizweni laseNodi, empumalanga kwase-Edeni.
Ana higeno Ra Anumzamofo avugatira Keni'a atreno Ideni hozamofo zage hanati kaziga vuno, Nodi mopare umani'ne.
17 UKhayini wembatha lomkakhe, wathatha isisu wazala u-Enoki. Ngalesosikhathi uKhayini wayesakha idolobho alibiza ngendodana yakhe u-Enoki.
Keni'a nenaro'ene masegeno amu'ene huno ne'mofavre kasenteno, agi'a Inoku'e huno ante'ne. Hagi anante mago rankuma erifore huno kiteno, ana kumamofo agi'a Inoku'e huno mofavre'amofo agire asamre'ne.
18 Ku-Enoki kwazalwa u-Iradi, yena u-Iradi waba nguyise kaMehujayeli, uMehujayeli waba nguyise kaMethushayeli, uMethushayeli waba nguyise kaLameki.
Hagi Inoku'a mago mofavre eri fore huno agi'a Iradi'e hu'ne. Iradi'a Mehusaeli nefa'za higeno, Mehusaeli'a Metusael nefa'za higeno, Metusaeli'a Lemeki nafa'za hu'ne.
19 ULameki wathatha abafazi ababili, omunye ethiwa ngu-Ada, omunye ethiwa nguZila.
Hagi Lemeki'a tare atre zanante'ne, mago'mofo agi'a Ada'e, mago a'mofo agi'a Zila'e.
20 U-Ada wazala uJabhali; owayenguyise walabo abahlala emathenteni befuye izifuyo.
Ada'a ne'mofavre kasenteno agi'a Jabali'e huno ante'neankino, fugagi noma ki'za nemase'za afu'ma kegava nehaza vahe'mokizmi nezamageho'e.
21 Ibizo lomfowabo lalinguJubhali; wayenguyise wabo bonke abatshaya umhubhe lechacho.
Hagi ngana'amofo agi'a Jubali'e. Jubali'a ese'ma agafa huno nofite zavena (harp) nehaza naga'mokizmi nezamageho'e.
22 UZila laye waba lendodana, uThubhali-Khayini, owayekhanda zonke inhlobo zezinto ngethusi langensimbi. Udadewabo kaThubhali-Khayini wayenguNahama.
Hanki Zila'a Tubalkein kasente'neankino, agra aenima, kopama tevefi krefizo huteno amasagino eri'zama eri'zantami tro nehia nere. Tubalkeini nesaro agi'a Na'ama'e.
23 ULameki wathi kubomkakhe, “Ada loZila, ngilalelani; bafazi bakaLameki, zwanini amazwi ami. Sengibulele umuntu ngenxa yokungilimaza, ijaha ngoba lingihlasele.
Mago zupa Lemeki'a nenaro kiznigura amanage huno zanasmi'ne, Adagane Zilagata'a kama antahi'o, mago nehaza ne'mo nahe kuzafa antege'na, agrira ete ahe fri'noe.
24 Nxa uKhayini ephindiselwa kasikhombisa ngakho uLameki amatshumi ayisikhombisa lesikhombisa.”
Hagi mago ne'mo'ma, Kenima eme ahe frisanuno'a, 7ni'a zupa knazana eri agofetu huno erigahie. Hianagi tamage huno nagri'ma Lemeki'nama eme nahesanuno'a, 77ni'a knazana agofetu huno nona'a erigahie.
25 U-Adamu waphinda wembatha lomkakhe njalo, wazala indodana wayithi nguSethi, esithi, “UNkulunkulu usengiphile omunye umntwana endaweni ka-Abheli, njengoba uKhayini wambulala.”
Hagi Adamu'a nenaro'ene masegeno ne' mofavre kasenteno amanage hu'ne, Keni'ma Abelima ahe fri'nea nona'a Anumzamo'a ne'mofavrea namiankino agi'a Seti'e.
26 USethi laye waba lendodana, wayibiza ngokuthi ngu-Enoshi. Ngalesosikhathi abantu baqala ukukhuleka bebiza ibizo likaThixo.
Henka'a Setina ne'mofavre fore humigeno agi'a Enosi'e huno antemi'ne. Ana knafi vahe'mo'za erigafa hu'za Ra Anumzamofo agihanta nevazi'za, Agrite mono hunte'naze.
