< Genesisi 4 >
1 Adhamu akarara nomukadzi wake Evha, uye akava nemimba akabereka Kaini. Akati, “Norubatsiro rwaJehovha, ndabereka murume.”
And the man knew his wife Eve, and she conceives and bears Cain, and says, “I have acquired a man by YHWH”;
2 Mushure akabereka mununʼuna wake Abheri. Zvino Abheri aiva mufudzi wamakwai, uye Kaini aiva murimi wevhu.
and she adds to bear his brother, even Abel. And Abel is feeding a flock, and Cain has been servant of the ground.
3 Mukufamba kwenguva, Kaini akauya nezvimwe zvezvibereko zvevhu sechipiriso kuna Jehovha.
And it comes to pass at the end of days that Cain brings from the fruit of the ground a present to YHWH;
4 Asi Abheri akauya nomugove wamafuta aibva mumhongora dzamakwai. Jehovha akagamuchira Abheri nechipiriso chake,
and Abel, he has brought, he also, from the female firstlings of his flock, and from their fat ones; and YHWH looks to Abel and to his present,
5 asi Kaini nechipiriso chake haana kumugamuchira. Saka Kaini akatsamwa zvikuru, uye chiso chake chikaunyana.
and to Cain and to his present He has not looked; and it is very displeasing to Cain, and his countenance is fallen.
6 Ipapo Jehovha akati kuna Kaini, “Wakatsamweiko? Seiko chiso chako chakaunyana?
And YHWH says to Cain, “Why do you have displeasure? And why has your countenance fallen?
7 Kana ukaita zvakanaka, haungagamuchirwi here? Asi kana usingaiti zvakanaka, chivi chakakuvandira pamukova wako; chinoda kukubata, asi iwe unofanira kuchikunda.”
Is there not, if you do well, acceptance? And if you do not do well, sin [[or a sin-offering]] is lying at the opening, and its [[or His]] desire [is] for you, and you rule over it [[or by Him]].”
8 Zvino Kaini akati kumununʼuna wake, “Ngatimbobuda tiende kumunda.” Uye vakati vari mumunda Kaini akarwisa mununʼuna wake Abheri akamuuraya.
And Cain says to his brother Abel, [[“Let us go into the field”; ]] and it comes to pass in their being in the field, that Cain rises up against his brother Abel, and slays him.
9 Ipapo Jehovha akati kuna Kaini, “Aripiko mununʼuna wako Abheri?” Iye akati, “Handizivi. Ko, ndini muchengeti womununʼuna wangu here?”
And YHWH says to Cain, “Where [is] your brother Abel?” And he says, “I have not known; am I my brother’s keeper?”
10 Jehovha akati, “Waiteiko? Inzwa! Ropa romununʼuna wako riri kudanidzira kwandiri richibva muvhu.
And He says, “What have you done? The voice of your brother’s blood is crying to Me from the ground;
11 Zvino watukwa uye wadzingwa panyika yazarura muromo wayo kuti imedze ropa romununʼuna wako kubva paruoko rwako.
and now, cursed [are] you from the ground, which has opened her mouth to receive the blood of your brother from your hand;
12 Paunorima ivhu, harichazombokuberekeri zvibereko zvaro. Uchava mudzungairi asingatongozorori panyika.”
when you till the ground, it will not add to give its strength to you—a wanderer, even a trembling one, you are in the earth.”
13 Kaini akati kuna Jehovha, “Kurangwa kwangu kunopfuura zvandinokwanisa kutakura.
And Cain says to YHWH, “My punishment is too great than to bear;
14 Nhasi muri kundidzinga kubva panyika, uye ndichavanzwa pamberi penyu; ndichava mudzungairi asina zororo panyika, uye ani naani achandiwana achandiuraya.”
behold, You have driven me today from off the face of the ground, and from Your face I am hid; and I have been a wanderer, even a trembling one, in the earth, and it has been—everyone finding me will slay me.”
15 Asi Jehovha akati kwaari, “Kwete hazvingadaro; kana munhu upi zvake akauraya Kaini, achatsiviwa kanomwe.” Ipapo Jehovha akaisa rupau pana Kaini kuitira kuti kurege kuva nomunhu anenge amuwana angazomuuraya.
And YHWH says to him, “Therefore, of any slayer of Cain it is required sevenfold”; and YHWH sets to Cain a token that none finding him will slay him.
16 Saka Kaini akabva pamberi paJehovha akandogara munyika yeNodhi, kumabvazuva kweEdheni.
And Cain goes out from before YHWH, and dwells in the land, moving about east of Eden;
17 Kaini akarara nomukadzi wake, akava nemimba akamuberekera Enoki. Ipapo Kaini akanga achivaka guta, uye akaritumidza zita romwanakomana wake Enoki.
and Cain knows his wife, and she conceives, and bears Enoch; and he is building a city, and he calls the name of the city, according to the name of his son—Enoch.
18 Enoki akaberekerwa Iradhi, uye Iradhi akanga ari baba vaMehujaeri, uye Mehujaeri akanga ari baba vaMetushaeri, uye Metushaeri akanga ari baba vaRameki.
And born to Enoch is Irad; and Irad has begotten Mehujael; and Mehujael has begotten Methusael; and Methusael has begotten Lamech.
19 Rameki akawana vakadzi vaviri, mumwe ainzi Adha uye mumwe ainzi Zira.
And Lamech takes to himself two wives, the name of the first Adah, and the name of the second Zillah.
20 Adha akabereka Jabhari, ndiye akanga ari baba vavaya vanogara mumatende vaichengeta zvipfuwo.
And Adah bears Jabal, he has been father of those inhabiting tents and [having] purchased livestock;
21 Zita romununʼuna wake rainzi Jubhari; akanga ari baba wavose vanoridza rudimbwa nenyere.
and the name of his brother [is] Jubal, he has been father of everyone handling harp and pipe.
22 Zira akanga ane mwanakomana, Tubhari-Kaini, aigadzira nhumbi dzemhando dzose dzendarira nedzesimbi. Hanzvadzi yaTubhari-Kaini yainzi Naama.
And Zillah, she also bears Tubal-Cain, an instructor of every craftsman in bronze and iron; and a sister of Tubal-Cain [is] Naamah.
23 Rameki akati kuvakadzi vake, “Adha naZira, nditeererei; imi vakadzi vaRameki, inzwai mashoko angu. Ndauraya munhu nokuti andikuvadza, nejaya nokuti randipwanya.
And Lamech says to his wives: “Adah and Zillah, hear my voice; Wives of Lamech, give ear [to] my saying: For I have slain a man for my wound, Even a young man for my hurt;
24 Kana Kaini achitsiviwa kanomwe, naizvozvo Rameki kana makumi manomwe namanomwe.”
For sevenfold is required for Cain, And for Lamech seventy-sevenfold.”
25 Adhamu akararazve nomukadzi wake, akabereka mwanakomana akamutumidza zita rokuti Seti, achiti, “Mwari andipa mumwe mwana panzvimbo yaAbheri, sezvo Kaini akamuuraya.”
And Adam again knows his wife, and she bears a son, and calls his name Seth, “for God has appointed for me another seed instead of Abel”: for Cain had slain him.
26 Setiwo akava nomwanakomana, akamutumidza zita rokuti Enoshi. Panguva iyo vanhu vakatanga kudana kuzita raJehovha.
And to Seth, to him also a son has been born, and he calls his name Enos; then a beginning was made of preaching in the Name of YHWH.
