उत्पत्ति 4
1 मानिसलेआफ्नी पत्नीसित सहवास गरे । अनि तिनी गर्भवती भइन् र कयिनलाई जन्माइन् । तिनले भनिन्, “मैले परमप्रभुको सहायताले एक पुरुष जन्माएँ ।”
And Adam had relations with his wife Eve, and she conceived and gave birth to Cain. “With the help of the LORD I have brought forth a man,” she said.
2 अनि तिनले तिनको भाइ हाबिललाई जन्माइन् । हाबिल गोठालो भए, तर कयिन खेती गर्ने भए ।
Later she gave birth to Cain’s brother Abel. Now Abel was a keeper of sheep, while Cain was a tiller of the soil.
3 समय बित्दै जाँदा कयिनले तिनको जमिनको उब्जनीबाट केही परमप्रभुकहाँ भेटीको रूपमा ल्याए ।
So in the course of time, Cain brought some of the fruit of the soil as an offering to the LORD,
4 हाबिलको हकमा तिनले बगालका पहिले जन्मेकाहरू र केही बोसे भागहरू ल्याए । परमप्रभुले हाबिल र तिनका भेटीलाई ग्रहण गर्नुभयो,
while Abel brought the best portions of the firstborn of his flock. And the LORD looked with favor on Abel and his offering,
5 तर कयिन र तिनका भेटीहरूलाई उहाँले ग्रहण गर्नुभएन । यसैले कयिन साह्रै रिसाए र तिनले रिस देखाए ।
but He had no regard for Cain and his offering. So Cain became very angry, and his countenance fell.
6 परमप्रभुले कयिनलाई भन्नुभयो, “तँ किन रिसाउँछस् र तैँले किन रिस देखाउँछस्?
“Why are you angry,” said the LORD to Cain, “and why has your countenance fallen?
7 यदि तैँले जे ठीक छ सो गरिस् भने, के तँलाई ग्रहण गरिनेछैन र? तर यदि तैले जे ठीक छ सो गर्दैनस भने त पाप तेरो ढोकैमा ढुक्छ र तँलाई अधिन गर्न इच्छा गर्छ, तर तैँले अधिन गर्नैपर्छ ।”
If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you refuse to do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires you, but you must master it.”
8 कयिनले आफ्ना भाइ हाबिललाई भने । अनि तिनीहरू खेतमा हुँदा कयिननले आफ्ना भाइ हाबिलमाथि आक्रमण गरे र तिनलाई मारे ।
Then Cain said to his brother Abel, “Let us go out to the field.” And while they were in the field, Cain rose up against his brother Abel and killed him.
9 अनि परमप्रभुले कयिनलाई भन्नुभयो, “तेरो भाइ हाबिल कहाँ छ?” तिनले भने, “मलाई थाहा छैन । के म मेरो भाइको गोठालो हुँ र?”
And the LORD said to Cain, “Where is your brother Abel?” “I do not know!” he answered. “Am I my brother’s keeper?”
10 परमप्रभुले भन्नुभयो, “तैँले यो के गरिस्? तेरो भाइको रगतले जमिनबाट मलाई पुकारिरहेको छ ।
“What have you done?” replied the LORD. “The voice of your brother’s blood cries out to Me from the ground.
11 अब तँ जमिबाट श्रापित हुन्छस् जसले तेरो हातबाट बगेको तेरो भाइको रगत ग्रहण गर्न मुख उघारेको छ ।
Now you are cursed and banished from the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand.
12 आज उप्रान्त तैँले खेती गर्दा यसले यसको सामर्थ्य (फल) दिनेछैन । तँ भगुवा र आवारा हुनेछस् ।”
When you till the ground, it will no longer yield its produce to you. You will be a fugitive and a wanderer on the earth.”
13 कयिनले परमप्रभुलाई भने, “मेरो दण्ड मैले सहन सक्नेभन्दा धेरै भयो ।
But Cain said to the LORD, “My punishment is greater than I can bear.
14 वास्तवमा, आज तपाईंले मलाई यस जग्गाबाट धपाउनुभएको छ र म तपाईंको नजरबाट लुक्नेछु । म पृथ्वीमा भगुवा र आवारा हुनेछु र जसले भेट्टाउँछ त्यसले मलाई मार्नेछ ।”
Behold, this day You have driven me from the face of the earth, and from Your face I will be hidden; I will be a fugitive and a wanderer on the earth, and whoever finds me will kill me.”
15 परमप्रभुले तिनलाई भन्नुभयो, “यदि कसैले कयिनलाई मार्छ भने, त्यसमाथि सात गुणा बदला लिइनेछ ।” अनि परमप्रभुले कयिनमाथि चिन्ह लगाउनुभयो, ताकि तिनलाई जसले भेट्टाए पनि आक्रमण नगरोस् ।
“Not so!” replied the LORD. “If anyone slays Cain, then Cain will be avenged sevenfold.” And the LORD placed a mark on Cain, so that no one who found him would kill him.
16 यसैले कयिन परमप्रभुको उपस्थितिबाट गए र अदनको पूर्वतिर नोदको मुलुकमा बसोवास गरे ।
So Cain went out from the presence of the LORD and settled in the land of Nod, east of Eden.
17 कयिनले आफ्नी पत्नीसँग सहवास गरे, र तिनी गर्भवती भइन् । तिनले हनोकलाई जन्माइन् । तिनले एउटा सहर बनाए, र यसको नाउँ आफ्नो छोराकै नाउँमा राखे ।
And Cain had relations with his wife, and she conceived and gave birth to Enoch. Then Cain built a city and named it after his son Enoch.
18 हनोकबाट ईराद जन्मिए । ईराद महूयाएलका पिता बने । महूयाएल मतुशाएलका पिता बने । मतुशाएल लेमेखका पिता बने ।
Now to Enoch was born Irad, and Irad was the father of Mehujael, and Mehujael was the father of Methusael, and Methusael was the father of Lamech.
19 लेमेखले दुइ जना पत्नीहरू ल्याए । एउटीको नाउँ आदा र अर्कीको नाउँ सिल्ला थियो ।
And Lamech married two women, one named Adah and the other Zillah.
20 आदाले याबाललाई जन्माइन् । तिनी पालमा बस्नेहरू र पशु पालन गर्नेहरूका पिता बने ।
Adah gave birth to Jabal; he was the father of those who dwell in tents and raise livestock.
21 तिनको भाइको नाउँ यूबाल थियो । तिनी वीणा र बाँसुरी बजाउनेहरूका पिता बने ।
And his brother’s name was Jubal; he was the father of all who play the harp and flute.
22 सिल्लाको हकमा, तिनले तुबल-कयिन अर्थात् काँसो र फलामका काम गर्नेहरूलाई जन्माइन् । तुबल-कयिनकी बहिनी नामा थिइन् । लेमेखले तिनकी पत्नीहरूलाई भने, “
And Zillah gave birth to Tubal-cain, a forger of every implement of bronze and iron. And the sister of Tubal-cain was Naamah.
23 लेमेखका पत्नीहरू आदा र सिल्ला मेरो कुरा सुन; मैले जे भन्छु सो सुन । मलाई चोट पुर्याउने मनिसलाई अर्थात् मलाई घायल बनाउने जवानलाई मैले मारेको छु ।
Then Lamech said to his wives: “Adah and Zillah, hear my voice; wives of Lamech, listen to my speech. For I have slain a man for wounding me, a young man for striking me.
24 यदि कयिनको बदला सात गुणा लिइन्छ भने लेमेखको बदला सतहत्तर गुणा लिइनेछ ।”
If Cain is avenged sevenfold, then Lamech seventy-sevenfold.”
25 आदमले तिनको पत्नीसँग फेरि सहवास गरे र तिनले अर्को छोरा जन्माइन् । तिनले त्यसको नाउँ शेत राखिन् र भनिन्, “कयिनले मारेका हाबिलको सट्टामा परमेश्वरले मलाई अर्को छोरा दिनुभएको छ ।”
And Adam again had relations with his wife, and she gave birth to a son and named him Seth, saying, “God has granted me another seed in place of Abel, since Cain killed him.”
26 शेतको एउटा छोरा भयो तिनले तिनको नाउँ एनोश राखे । त्यस बेलादेखि मानसिहरूले परमेश्वरको नाउँ पुकार्न सुरु गरे ।
And to Seth also a son was born, and he called him Enosh. At that time men began to call upon the name of the LORD.
