उत्पत्ति 4
1 मानिसलेआफ्नी पत्नीसित सहवास गरे । अनि तिनी गर्भवती भइन् र कयिनलाई जन्माइन् । तिनले भनिन्, “मैले परमप्रभुको सहायताले एक पुरुष जन्माएँ ।”
And Man knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bore Cain, and said, I have acquired a man with Jehovah.
2 अनि तिनले तिनको भाइ हाबिललाई जन्माइन् । हाबिल गोठालो भए, तर कयिन खेती गर्ने भए ।
And she further bore his brother Abel. And Abel was a shepherd, but Cain was a husbandman.
3 समय बित्दै जाँदा कयिनले तिनको जमिनको उब्जनीबाट केही परमप्रभुकहाँ भेटीको रूपमा ल्याए ।
And in process of time it came to pass that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering to Jehovah.
4 हाबिलको हकमा तिनले बगालका पहिले जन्मेकाहरू र केही बोसे भागहरू ल्याए । परमप्रभुले हाबिल र तिनका भेटीलाई ग्रहण गर्नुभयो,
And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock, and of their fat. And Jehovah looked upon Abel, and on his offering;
5 तर कयिन र तिनका भेटीहरूलाई उहाँले ग्रहण गर्नुभएन । यसैले कयिन साह्रै रिसाए र तिनले रिस देखाए ।
and upon Cain, and on his offering, he did not look. And Cain was very angry, and his countenance fell.
6 परमप्रभुले कयिनलाई भन्नुभयो, “तँ किन रिसाउँछस् र तैँले किन रिस देखाउँछस्?
And Jehovah said to Cain, Why art thou angry, and why is thy 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 thou doest well, will not [thy countenance] look up [with confidence]? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door; and unto thee [shall be] his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.
8 कयिनले आफ्ना भाइ हाबिललाई भने । अनि तिनीहरू खेतमा हुँदा कयिननले आफ्ना भाइ हाबिलमाथि आक्रमण गरे र तिनलाई मारे ।
And Cain spoke to Abel his brother, and it came to pass when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.
9 अनि परमप्रभुले कयिनलाई भन्नुभयो, “तेरो भाइ हाबिल कहाँ छ?” तिनले भने, “मलाई थाहा छैन । के म मेरो भाइको गोठालो हुँ र?”
And Jehovah said to Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: am I my brother's keeper?
10 परमप्रभुले भन्नुभयो, “तैँले यो के गरिस्? तेरो भाइको रगतले जमिनबाट मलाई पुकारिरहेको छ ।
And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood is crying to me from the ground.
11 अब तँ जमिबाट श्रापित हुन्छस् जसले तेरो हातबाट बगेको तेरो भाइको रगत ग्रहण गर्न मुख उघारेको छ ।
And now be thou cursed from the ground, which hath opened its mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand.
12 आज उप्रान्त तैँले खेती गर्दा यसले यसको सामर्थ्य (फल) दिनेछैन । तँ भगुवा र आवारा हुनेछस् ।”
When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield thee its strength; a wanderer and fugitive shalt thou be on the earth.
13 कयिनले परमप्रभुलाई भने, “मेरो दण्ड मैले सहन सक्नेभन्दा धेरै भयो ।
And Cain said to Jehovah, My punishment is too great to be borne.
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, thou hast driven me this day from the face of the ground, and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a wanderer and fugitive on the earth; and it will come to pass, [that] every one who finds me will slay 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 ।
And Jehovah said to him, Therefore, whoever slayeth Cain, it shall be revenged sevenfold. And Jehovah set a mark on Cain, lest any finding him should smite him.
16 यसैले कयिन परमप्रभुको उपस्थितिबाट गए र अदनको पूर्वतिर नोदको मुलुकमा बसोवास गरे ।
And Cain went out from the presence of Jehovah, and dwelt in the land of Nod, toward the 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 knew his wife, and she conceived and bore Enoch. And he built a city; and he called the name of the city after the name of his son Enoch.
18 हनोकबाट ईराद जन्मिए । ईराद महूयाएलका पिता बने । महूयाएल मतुशाएलका पिता बने । मतुशाएल लेमेखका पिता बने ।
And to Enoch was born Irad; and Irad begot Mehujael; and Mehujael begot Methushael; and Methushael begot Lemech.
19 लेमेखले दुइ जना पत्नीहरू ल्याए । एउटीको नाउँ आदा र अर्कीको नाउँ सिल्ला थियो ।
And Lemech took two wives: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the second, Zillah.
20 आदाले याबाललाई जन्माइन् । तिनी पालमा बस्नेहरू र पशु पालन गर्नेहरूका पिता बने ।
And Adah bore Jabal: he was the father of those who dwell in tents, and [breed] cattle.
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 those who handle the harp and pipe.
22 सिल्लाको हकमा, तिनले तुबल-कयिन अर्थात् काँसो र फलामका काम गर्नेहरूलाई जन्माइन् । तुबल-कयिनकी बहिनी नामा थिइन् । लेमेखले तिनकी पत्नीहरूलाई भने, “
And Zillah, she also bore Tubal-Cain, the forger of every kind of tool of brass 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 ।
And Lemech said to his wives: Adah and Zillah, hear my voice, Ye wives of Lemech, listen to my speech. For I have slain a man for my wound, and a youth for my bruise.
24 यदि कयिनको बदला सात गुणा लिइन्छ भने लेमेखको बदला सतहत्तर गुणा लिइनेछ ।”
If Cain shall be avenged seven-fold; Lemech seventy and seven fold.
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 knew his wife again, and she bore a son, and called his name Seth: ...For God has appointed me another seed instead of Abel, because Cain has slain him.
26 शेतको एउटा छोरा भयो तिनले तिनको नाउँ एनोश राखे । त्यस बेलादेखि मानसिहरूले परमेश्वरको नाउँ पुकार्न सुरु गरे ।
And to Seth, to him also was born a son; and he called his name Enosh. Then people began to call on the name of Jehovah.
