1 UAdamu wasemazi uEva umkakhe; wasethatha isisu, wabeletha uKhayini, wasesithi: Ngizuze indoda eNkosini.
Emesịa, Adam na nwunye ya Iiv dinakọrọ dịka di na nwunye. Iiv tụụrụ ime mụọ nwa nwoke, onye ha gụrụ Ken. Iiv sịrị, “Site nʼinyeaka Onyenwe anyị, amụtala m nwa nwoke!”
2 Wasebuya ebeletha umfowabo uAbela. UAbela wasesiba ngumelusi wezimvu, loKhayini waba ngumlimi womhlabathi.
Emesịa Iiv mụtara nwanne ya nwoke Ebel. Ebel ghọrọ onye na-azụ igwe atụrụ. Ma Ken ghọrọ onye ọrụ ubi.
3 Kwasekusithi ekupheleni kwezinsuku uKhayini waletha eNkosini umnikelo owesithelo somhlabathi.
Mgbe ụfọdụ oge gasịrị, Ken wetaara Onyenwe anyị ụfọdụ ihe ubi ya dịka onyinye.
4 LoAbela, waletha laye emazibulweni ezimvu zakhe lakwezinonileyo zawo; iNkosi yasinaka uAbela lomnikelo wakhe.
Ma Ebel, ya onwe ya nyekwara onyinye site nʼigwe ewu na atụrụ ya e bụ ụzọ mụọ, nke mara abụba. Onyenwe anyị nabatara Ebel na onyinye ya,
5 Kodwa uKhayini lomnikelo wakhe kayiwunakanga. UKhayini wasethukuthela kakhulu, lobuso bakhe banyukubala.
ma ọ nabataghị Ken na onyinye ya. Nke a wutere Ken, mee ka o wee iwe dị ukwuu. Ihu ya agbarụọ.
6 INkosi yasisithi kuKhayini: Uthukutheleleni, njalo kungani ubuso bakho bunyukubele?
Ma Onyenwe anyị jụrụ ya sị, “Gịnị mere i ji ewe iwe? Gịnị mere ihu gị ji gbarụọ?
7 Angithi uba usenza kuhle, kuyemukeleka yini? Kodwa uba ungenzi kuhle, isono siyacathama emnyango, lokunxwanela kwakhe kukuwe, kodwa wena uzambusa.
Ọ bụrụ na i mee ihe ziri ezi, agaghị anabata gị? Ọ bụrụkwanụ na ị jụ ime ihe ziri ezi, mmehie nọ nʼọnụ ụzọ na-eche gị ịla gị nʼiyi. Lezie anya hụ na i meriri ya.”
8 UKhayini wasekhuluma loAbela umfowabo; kwasekusithi besegangeni, uKhayini wasukela umfowabo uAbela wambulala.
Ken gwara nwanne ya Ebel sị, “Bịa soro m ka anyị banye ọhịa.” Mgbe ha nọ nʼebe ahụ, Ken jidere nwanne ya gbuo ya.
9 INkosi yasisithi kuKhayini: Ungaphi uAbela umfowenu? Wasesithi: Angazi; ngingumlondolozi womfowethu yini?
Emesịa, Onyenwe anyị jụrụ Ken ajụjụ sị, “Ebee ka Ebel nwanne gị nwoke nọ?” Ọ zaghachiri, “Amaghị m. Abụ m onye nche nwanne m?”
10 Yasisithi: Wenzeni? Ilizwi legazi lomfowenu liyakhala kimi livela emhlabathini.
Ma Onyenwe anyị zara sị ya, “Gịnị ka i mere? Gee ntị, ọbara nwanne gị na-akpọku m site nʼala.
11 Khathesi-ke uqalekisiwe emhlabeni okhamise umlomo wawo ukwemukela igazi lomfowenu esandleni sakho.
Site ugbu a gaa nʼihu ị bụrụla onye a bụrụ ọnụ, na onye e si nʼala chụpụ, ala ahụ meghepụrụ ọnụ ya nabata ọbara nwanne gị, site nʼaka gị.
12 Nxa ulima umhlabathi, kawusayikukunika amandla awo; uzakuba luzulane lomhambuma emhlabeni.
Mgbe ị kụrụ ihe ọbụla nʼime ya, ala agaghị enye gị mkpụrụ ya nʼuju. Site ugbu a gaa nʼihu, ị ga-abụ onye na-awagharị awagharị na onye na-abaghị nʼihe nʼụwa.”
13 UKhayini wasesithi eNkosini: Isijeziso sami sikhulu kulengingakuthwala.
Ken zara Onyenwe anyị, “Ntaramahụhụ i nyere m dị ukwuu karịa nke m nwere ike ibu.
14 Khangela, ungixotshile lamuhla ebusweni bomhlaba, njalo ngizacatshiswa ebusweni bakho; sengizakuba luzulane lomhambuma emhlabeni; njalo kuzakuthi wonke ongificayo uzangibulala.
Ugbu a, abụ m onye i si nʼala ubi ya chụpụ. Abụkwa m onye i si nʼihu gị chụpụ. Bido taa aga m abụ onye na-awagharị awagharị nʼime ụwa. Onye ọbụla hụkwara m ga-egbu m.”
15 INkosi yasisithi kuye: Ngakho, loba ngubani obulala uKhayini uzaphindiselwa kasikhombisa. INkosi yasibeka uphawu kuKhayini, hlezi loba ngubani omficayo ambulale.
Onyenwe anyị zara sị ya, “O nweghị onye ga-egbu gị, nʼihi na aga m atụkwasịrị onye ọbụla metụrụ gị aka ntaramahụhụ okpukpu asaa karịa nke m nyere gị.” Ya mere, Onyenwe anyị kara Ken akara iji gbochie onye ọbụla hụrụ ya igbu ya.
16 UKhayini wasesuka ebusweni beNkosi, wasehlala elizweni leNodi, empumalanga kweEdeni.
Ken sitere nʼihu Onyenwe anyị pụọ gaa biri nʼala Nọd, obodo dị nʼakụkụ ọwụwa anyanwụ Iden.
17 UKhayini wasemazi umkakhe; wasethatha isisu, wabeletha uEnoki; njalo wayesakha umuzi, wabiza ibizo lomuzi ngebizo lendodana yakhe uEnoki.
Ken na nwunye ya dinakọrọ, nwunye ya tụụrụ ime mụta nwa nwoke aha ya bụ Enọk. Nʼoge a, Ken nọ na-ewu otu obodo ọ gụrụ Enọk, nke bụ aha nwa ya nwoke.
18 Kwasekuzalelwa uEnoki uIradi; uIradi wasezala uMehujayeli; uMehujayeli wasezala uMethushayeli; uMethushayeli wasezala uLameki.
Enọk bụ nna Irad, Irad bụ nna Mehujael, Mehujael bụ nna Metusael, Metusael abụrụ nna Lamek.
19 ULameki wasezithathela abafazi ababili, ibizo lowokuqala lalinguAda, lebizo lowesibili lalinguZila.
Lamek lụrụ ụmụ nwanyị abụọ. Aha nwunye ya nke mbụ bụ Ada. Aha nke ọzọ bụ Zila.
20 UAda wasezala uJabali; yena wayenguyise walabo abahlala emathenteni, belezifuyo.
Ada mụtara Jabal, onye bụ nna ndị na-azụ anụ ụlọ, na ndị na-ebi nʼụlọ ikwu.
21 Lebizo lomfowabo lalinguJubali, yena wayenguyise wakhe wonke olokwenza lechacho lomhlanga.
Aha nwanne ya nwoke bụ Jubal, onye mbụ bụ nna ndị na-akpọ ụbọ akwara, na ndị na-afụ opi.
22 UZila laye wasezala uThubhali-Khayini, umkhandi wakho konke okusikayo kwethusi lensimbi. Lodadewabo kaThubhali-Khayini wayenguNahama.
Zila, mụtara otu nwa nwoke aha ya bụ Tubal Ken, onye bụ nna ndị niile na-akpụ ihe dị iche iche e ji bronz maọbụ igwe kpụọ. Aha nwanne nwanyị Tubal Ken bụ Naama.
23 ULameki wasesithi kubafazi bakhe: Ada loZila, zwanini ilizwi lami, bafazi bakaLameki, bekani indlebe ekukhulumeni kwami; ngoba ngabulala indoda ngenxa yokungilimaza, lomfana ngenxa yokungihluzula.
Lamek kpọrọ ndị nwunye ya sị ha, “Geenụ m ntị, Ada na Zila, unu ndị nwunye Lamek, nụrụ okwu sị m nʼọnụ. Egbuola m otu nwoke nʼihi na ọ merụrụ m ahụ, otu nwokorobịa nʼihi na ọ mehịara m ahụ.
24 Nxa uKhayini ephindiselwa kasikhombisa, isibili uLameki kamatshumi ayisikhombisa ephindwe kasikhombisa.
Ọ bụrụ na a ga-abọtara Ken ọbọ ugboro asaa, mgbe ahụ, a ga-abọtara Lamek ọbọ iri ugboro asaa na asaa.”
25 UAdamu wasephinda wamazi umkakhe; wasezala indodana, wasebiza ibizo layo wathi nguSeti; ngoba wathi: UNkulunkulu ungibekele enye inzalo esikhundleni sikaAbela, ngoba uKhayini wambulala.
Adam na Iiv dinakọrọ ọzọ, Iiv tụụrụ ime mụta nwa nwoke ọ gụrụ Set. Nʼihi na Iiv kwuru sị, “Chineke enyela m nwa nwoke ọzọ nʼọnọdụ Ebel onye Ken gburu.”
26 Laye uSeti wasezalelwa indodana, wabiza ibizo layo wathi nguEnosi. Ngalesosikhathi baqala ukubiza ibizo leNkosi.
Set mụtara nwa nwoke gụọ ya Enọsh. Nʼoge ahụ ka ụmụ mmadụ bidoro ịkpọku aha Onyenwe anyị.
