Uumama 4
1 Addaam niitii isaa Hewaan bira gaʼe; isheenis ulfooftee Qaayinin deesse. Isheenis, “Ani gargaarsa Waaqayyootiin ilma tokko argadheera” jette.
And the man knew Eve his wife: and she conceived, and bore Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the Lord.
2 Itti aansitees obboleessa isaa Abeelin deesse. Abeel tiksee hoolotaa ture; Qaayin immoo lafa qota ture.
And she bore again, his brother, Abel; and Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.
3 Yeroo muraasa keessatti Qaayin waan lafti baafteef keessaa Waaqayyoof aarsaa dhiʼeesse.
And it came to pass in process of time, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground and offering unto the Lord.
4 Abeel immoo hangafoota hoolota isaa keessaa cooma cooma isaa dhiʼeesse. Waaqayyo faara tolaadhaan gara Abeelii fi gara aarsaa inni dhiʼeesse sanaa ilaale.
And Abel—he also brought of the firstlings of his flock, and of the fattest thereof; and the Lord had respect unto Abel and to his offering;
5 Gara Qaayinii fi gara aarsaa isaa garuu hin ilaalle. Kanaafuu Qaayin akka malee aaree fuulli isaa gurraachaʼe.
But unto Cain and to his offering he had no respect; and it was very displeasing to Cain, and his countenance fell.
6 Waaqayyos Qaayiniin akkana jedhe; “Ati maaliif aarte? Fuulli kees maaliif gurraachaʼe?
And the Lord said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen?
7 Utuu waan qajeelaa hojjettee silaa ati fudhatama argatta mitii? Garuu yoo waan qajeelaa hojjechuu baatte cubbuun balbala kee duratti riphee si eeggata; si qabachuu barbaadas; ati garuu isa moʼachuu qabda.”
If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door; and unto thee is its desire, but thou canst rule over it.
8 Qaayinis ergasii obboleessa isaa Abeeliin, “Kottu mee dirreetti baanaa” jedhe. Utuma dirree irra jiranuus Qaayin obboleessa isaa Abeelitti kaʼee isa ajjeese.
And Cain talked with 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 Waaqayyos, “Obboleessi kee Abeel eessa jira?” jedhee Qaayin gaafate. Qaayin immoo, “Ani hin beeku; ani eegduu obboleessa kootiitii?” jedhee deebise.
And the Lord said unto Cain, Where is Abel they brother? and he said, I know not; am I my brother's keeper?
10 Waaqayyo akkana jedhe; “Ati maal goote? Dhiigni obboleessa keetii lafaa natti iyyaa jira.
And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground.
11 Ati amma abaaramaa dha; lafa dhiiga obboleessa keetii si harkaa fudhachuuf afaan banatte irraas ni ariʼamta.
And now be thou cursed from the ground, which hath opened its mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand:
12 Yeroo ati lafa qotattutti lafti deebitee midhaan siif hin kennitu. Ati lafa irratti joortuu boqonnaa hin qabne taata.”
When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield its strength unto thee; fugitive and vagabond shalt thou be on the earth.
13 Qaayin immoo Waaqayyoon akkana jedhe; “Adabamuun koo waan ani baachuu dandaʼuun ol.
And Cain said unto the Lord, My punishment is greater than I can bear.
14 Kunoo ati harʼa biyyaa na ariʼaa jirta; anis fuula kee duraa nan dhokadha; lafa irratti joortuu boqonnaa hin qabne nan taʼa; namni na argatu kam iyyuus na ajjeesa.”
Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the ground; and from thy face shall I be hid; and if I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond on the earth, it will come to pass, that every one that findeth me will slay me.
15 Waaqayyo garuu, “Akkana miti; namni Qaayinin ajjeesu kam iyyuu dachaa torba haaloo baafama” jedheen. Waaqayyos akka namni isa argatu tokko iyyuu isa hin ajjeefneef Qaayinitti mallattoo godhe.
And the Lord said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him seven-fold. And the Lord set a sign unto Cain, that any one finding him should not kill him.
16 Ergasiis Qaayin fuula Waaqayyoo duraa baʼee Eeden irraa karaa baʼa biiftuutiin biyya Noodi keessa jiraate.
And Cain went out from the presence of the Lord, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.
17 Qaayin niitii isaa beeke; isheenis ulfooftee Henookin deesse. Qaayinis magaalaa tokko hundeesse; magaalaa sanas Henook jedhee maqaa ilma isaatiin waame.
And Cain knew his wife, and she conceived, and bore Enoch; and he built a city, and called the name of the city after the name of his son Enoch.
18 Henook Iiraadin dhalche; Iiraadi Meʼeelin dhalche; Mehuuyaaʼeel Matusaaʼelin dhalche; Matusaaʼel immoo Laamehin dhalche.
And unto Enoch was born Irad; and Irad begat Mechujael: and Mechujael begat Methushael; and Methushael begat Lemech.
19 Laameh dubartoota maqaan isaanii Aadaa fi Xiilaa jedhamu lamaan fuudhe.
And Lemech took unto himself two wives, the name of one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah.
20 Aadaan Yaabaalin deesse; Yaabaalis abbaa warra dunkaana keessa jiraatanii horii horsiisanii ture.
And Adah bore Jabal; he was the father of such as dwell in tents, and have cattle.
21 Maqaan obboleessa isaa Yuubaal ture; inni immoo abbaa warra kiraara rukutaniitii fi ulullee afuufanii ti.
And his brother's name was Jubal; he was the father of all such as play on the harp and guitar.
22 Xiilaan immoo ilma Tuubaal Qaayin jedhamu kan naasii fi sibiila tumee meeshaawwan garaa garaa hojjetu deesse; obboleettiin Tuubaal Qaayinis Naʼamaa turte.
And Zillah, she also bore Tubal-cain, an artificer in every article of copper and iron; and the sister of Tubal-cain was Naamah.
23 Laameh niitota isaatiin akkana jedhe; “Aadaa fi Xiilaan na dhagaʼaa; yaa niitota Laamehii dubbii koo dhaggeeffadhaa. Nama tokko waan inni na madeesseef, dargaggeessa tokko waan inni na miidheef ani isa ajjeeseera.
And Lemech said unto his wives, Adah and Zillah, hear my voice; ye wives of Lemech, hearken unto my speech; for I have slain a man to my own wounding, and a young-man to my hurt.
24 Yoo Qaayiniif dachaa torba haaloon baafame Laamehiif immoo dachaa torbaatamii torba ni baafama.”
If Cain shall be avenged seven-fold, truly Lemech seventy and seven-fold.
25 Addaam ammas niitii isaa beeke; isheenis ilma deesse; maqaa isaas, “Erga Qaayin Abeelin ajjeesee as Waaqni iddoo Abeel daaʼima biraa naa kenneera” jettee “Seeti” jettee moggaafte.
And Adam knew his wife again, and she bore a son, and called his name Sheth [[Seth]]; for God [said she] hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew.
26 Seetiifis ilmi ni dhalate; innis Enoosh jedhee isa moggaase. Bara sana namoonni maqaa Waaqayyoo waammachuu jalqaban.
And to Sheth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enosh: then began men to call upon the name of the Lord.
