< उत्पत्ति 4 >

1 मानिसलेआफ्नी पत्‍नीसित सहवास गरे । अनि तिनी गर्भवती भइन् र कयिनलाई जन्माइन् । तिनले भनिन्, “मैले परमप्रभुको सहायताले एक पुरुष जन्माएँ ।”
The man slept with Eve his wife. She conceived and gave birth to Cain. She said, “I have produced a man with Yahweh's help.”
2 अनि तिनले तिनको भाइ हाबिललाई जन्माइन् । हाबिल गोठालो भए, तर कयिन खेती गर्ने भए ।
Then she gave birth to his brother Abel. Now Abel became a shepherd, but Cain cultivated the soil.
3 समय बित्दै जाँदा कयिनले तिनको जमिनको उब्जनीबाट केही परमप्रभुकहाँ भेटीको रूपमा ल्याए ।
It came about that in the course of time Cain brought some of the fruit of the ground as an offering to Yahweh.
4 हाबिलको हकमा तिनले बगालका पहिले जन्मेकाहरू र केही बोसे भागहरू ल्याए । परमप्रभुले हाबिल र तिनका भेटीलाई ग्रहण गर्नुभयो,
As for Abel, he brought some of the firstborn of his flock and some of the fat. Yahweh accepted Abel and his offering,
5 तर कयिन र तिनका भेटीहरूलाई उहाँले ग्रहण गर्नुभएन । यसैले कयिन साह्रै रिसाए र तिनले रिस देखाए ।
but Cain and his offering he did not accept. So Cain was very angry, and he scowled.
6 परमप्रभुले कयिनलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “तँ किन रिसाउँछस् र तैँले किन रिस देखाउँछस्?
Yahweh said to Cain, “Why are you angry and why are you scowling?
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 do not do what is right, sin crouches at the door and desires to control you, but you must rule over it.”
8 कयिनले आफ्ना भाइ हाबिललाई भने । अनि तिनीहरू खेतमा हुँदा कयिननले आफ्‍ना भाइ हाबिलमाथि आक्रमण गरे र तिनलाई मारे ।
Cain spoke to Abel his brother. It came about that while they were in the fields, Cain rose up against Abel his brother 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?”
Then Yahweh said to Cain, “Where is Abel your brother?” He said, “I do not know. Am I my brother's keeper?”
10 परमप्रभुले भन्‍नुभयो, “तैँले यो के गरिस्? तेरो भाइको रगतले जमिनबाट मलाई पुकारिरहेको छ ।
Yahweh said, “What have you done? Your brother's blood is calling 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 cursed are you 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 cultivate the ground, from now on it will not yield to you its strength. A fugitive and a wanderer you will be in the earth.”
13 कयिनले परमप्रभुलाई भने, “मेरो दण्ड मैले सहन सक्‍नेभन्दा धेरै भयो ।
Cain said to Yahweh, “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 ।”
Indeed, you have driven me out this day from this ground, and I will be hidden from your face. I will be a fugitive and a wanderer in 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 ।
Yahweh said to him, “If anyone kills Cain, vengeance will be taken on him sevenfold.” Then Yahweh put a mark on Cain, so that if anyone found him, that person would not attack him.
16 यसैले कयिन परमप्रभुको उपस्थितिबाट गए र अदनको पूर्वतिर नोदको मुलुकमा बसोवास गरे ।
So Cain went out from the presence of Yahweh and lived in the land of Nod, on 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 ।
Cain slept with his wife and she conceived. She gave birth to Enoch. He 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 ।
To Enoch was born Irad. Irad became the father of Mehujael. Mehujael became the father of Methushael. Methushael became the father of Lamech.
19 लेमेखले दुइ जना पत्‍नीहरू ल्याए । एउटीको नाउँ आदा र अर्कीको नाउँ सिल्ला थियो ।
Lamech took for himself two wives. The name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other was 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 lived in tents who have livestock.
21 तिनको भाइको नाउँ यूबाल थियो । तिनी वीणा र बाँसुरी बजाउनेहरूका पिता बने ।
His brother's name was Jubal. He was the father of those who play 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, “
As for Zillah, she bore Tubal-Cain, the forger of tools of bronze and iron. 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 ।
Lamech said to his wives, “Adah and Zillah, listen to my voice; you wives of Lamech, listen to what I say. For I have killed a man for wounding me, a young man for bruising me.
24 यदि कयिनको बदला सात गुणा लिइन्छ भने लेमेखको बदला सतहत्तर गुणा लिइनेछ ।”
If Cain is avenged seven times, then Lamech will be avenged seventy-seven times.”
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 ।”
Adam slept with his wife again, and she bore another son. She called his name Seth and said, “God has given me another son in the place of Abel, for Cain killed him.”
26 शेतको एउटा छोरा भयो तिनले तिनको नाउँ एनोश राखे । त्यस बेलादेखि मानसिहरूले परमेश्‍वरको नाउँ पुकार्न सुरु गरे ।
A son was born to Seth and he called his name Enosh. At that time people began to call on the name of Yahweh.
