उत्पत्ति 4
1 मानिसलेआफ्नी पत्नीसित सहवास गरे । अनि तिनी गर्भवती भइन् र कयिनलाई जन्माइन् । तिनले भनिन्, “मैले परमप्रभुको सहायताले एक पुरुष जन्माएँ ।”
The man knew Eve his wife. She conceived, and gave birth to Cain, and said, “I have gotten a man with the LORD’s help.”
2 अनि तिनले तिनको भाइ हाबिललाई जन्माइन् । हाबिल गोठालो भए, तर कयिन खेती गर्ने भए ।
Again she gave birth, to Cain’s brother Abel. Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.
3 समय बित्दै जाँदा कयिनले तिनको जमिनको उब्जनीबाट केही परमप्रभुकहाँ भेटीको रूपमा ल्याए ।
As time passed, Cain brought an offering to the LORD from the fruit of the ground.
4 हाबिलको हकमा तिनले बगालका पहिले जन्मेकाहरू र केही बोसे भागहरू ल्याए । परमप्रभुले हाबिल र तिनका भेटीलाई ग्रहण गर्नुभयो,
Abel also brought some of the firstborn of his flock and of its fat. The LORD respected Abel and his offering,
5 तर कयिन र तिनका भेटीहरूलाई उहाँले ग्रहण गर्नुभएन । यसैले कयिन साह्रै रिसाए र तिनले रिस देखाए ।
but he didn’t respect Cain and his offering. Cain was very angry, and the expression on his face fell.
6 परमप्रभुले कयिनलाई भन्नुभयो, “तँ किन रिसाउँछस् र तैँले किन रिस देखाउँछस्?
The LORD said to Cain, “Why are you angry? Why has the expression of your face 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 well, won’t it be lifted up? If you don’t do well, sin crouches at the door. Its desire is for you, but you are to rule over it.”
8 कयिनले आफ्ना भाइ हाबिललाई भने । अनि तिनीहरू खेतमा हुँदा कयिननले आफ्ना भाइ हाबिलमाथि आक्रमण गरे र तिनलाई मारे ।
Cain said to Abel, his brother, “Let’s go into the field.” While they were in the field, 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?”
The LORD said to Cain, “Where is Abel, your brother?” He said, “I don’t know. Am I my brother’s keeper?”
10 परमप्रभुले भन्नुभयो, “तैँले यो के गरिस्? तेरो भाइको रगतले जमिनबाट मलाई पुकारिरहेको छ ।
The LORD said, “What have you done? The voice of your brother’s blood cries 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 because of 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 ।”
From now on, when you till the ground, it won’t yield its strength to you. You will be a fugitive and a wanderer in the earth.”
13 कयिनले परमप्रभुलाई भने, “मेरो दण्ड मैले सहन सक्नेभन्दा धेरै भयो ।
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, you have driven me out today from the surface of the ground. I will be hidden from your face, and I will be a fugitive and a wanderer in the earth. 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 ।
The LORD said to him, “Therefore whoever slays Cain, vengeance will be taken on him sevenfold.” The LORD appointed a sign for Cain, so that anyone finding him would not strike him.
16 यसैले कयिन परमप्रभुको उपस्थितिबाट गए र अदनको पूर्वतिर नोदको मुलुकमा बसोवास गरे ।
Cain left the LORD’s presence, and lived 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 ।
Cain knew his wife. She conceived, and gave birth to Enoch. He built a city, and named 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 ।
Irad was born to Enoch. 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 two wives: the name of the first one was Adah, and the name of the second one was Zillah.
20 आदाले याबाललाई जन्माइन् । तिनी पालमा बस्नेहरू र पशु पालन गर्नेहरूका पिता बने ।
Adah gave birth to Jabal, who was the father of those who dwell in tents and have livestock.
21 तिनको भाइको नाउँ यूबाल थियो । तिनी वीणा र बाँसुरी बजाउनेहरूका पिता बने ।
His brother’s name was Jubal, who was the father of all 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, “
Zillah also gave birth to Tubal Cain, the forger of every cutting instrument of bronze and iron. Tubal Cain’s sister 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, hear my voice. You wives of Lamech, listen to my speech, for I have slain 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 will be avenged seven times, truly Lamech 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 knew his wife again. She gave birth to a son, and named him Seth, saying, “for God has given me another child instead 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 also born to Seth, and he named him Enosh. At that time men began to call on the LORD’s name.
