1 Adhamu akarara nomukadzi wake Evha, uye akava nemimba akabereka Kaini. Akati, “Norubatsiro rwaJehovha, ndabereka murume.”
And Adam lay wyth Heua ys wyfe which conceaved and bare Cain and sayd: I haue goten a ma of the LORde.
2 Mushure akabereka mununʼuna wake Abheri. Zvino Abheri aiva mufudzi wamakwai, uye Kaini aiva murimi wevhu.
And she proceded forth and bare hys brother Abell: And Abell became a sheperde And Cain became a ploweman.
3 Mukufamba kwenguva, Kaini akauya nezvimwe zvezvibereko zvevhu sechipiriso kuna Jehovha.
And it fortuned in processe of tyme that Cain brought of the frute of the erth: an offerynge vnto the LORde.
4 Asi Abheri akauya nomugove wamafuta aibva mumhongora dzamakwai. Jehovha akagamuchira Abheri nechipiriso chake,
And Abell he brought also of the fyrstlynges of hys shepe and of the fatt of them. And the LORde loked vnto Abell and to his offeynge:
5 asi Kaini nechipiriso chake haana kumugamuchira. Saka Kaini akatsamwa zvikuru, uye chiso chake chikaunyana.
but vnto Cain and vnto his offrynge looked he not. And Cain was wroth exceadingly and loured.
6 Ipapo Jehovha akati kuna Kaini, “Wakatsamweiko? Seiko chiso chako chakaunyana?
And the LORde sayd vnto Cain: why art thou angry and why loureste thou? Wotest thou not yf thou dost well thou shalt receave it?
7 Kana ukaita zvakanaka, haungagamuchirwi here? Asi kana usingaiti zvakanaka, chivi chakakuvandira pamukova wako; chinoda kukubata, asi iwe unofanira kuchikunda.”
But and yf thou dost evell by and by thy synne lyeth open in the dore. Not withstondyng let it be subdued vnto the ad see thou rule it.
8 Zvino Kaini akati kumununʼuna wake, “Ngatimbobuda tiende kumunda.” Uye vakati vari mumunda Kaini akarwisa mununʼuna wake Abheri akamuuraya.
And Cain talked wyth Abell his brother. And as soone as they were in the feldes Cain fell vppon Abell his brother and slewe hym
9 Ipapo Jehovha akati kuna Kaini, “Aripiko mununʼuna wako Abheri?” Iye akati, “Handizivi. Ko, ndini muchengeti womununʼuna wangu here?”
And ye LORde sayd vnto Cain: where is Abell thy brother? And he sayd: I can not tell am I my brothers keper?
10 Jehovha akati, “Waiteiko? Inzwa! Ropa romununʼuna wako riri kudanidzira kwandiri richibva muvhu.
And he sayd: What hast thou done? the voyce of thy brothers bloud cryeth vnto me out of the erth.
11 Zvino watukwa uye wadzingwa panyika yazarura muromo wayo kuti imedze ropa romununʼuna wako kubva paruoko rwako.
And now cursed be thou as pertaynyng to the erth which opened hyr mouth to receaue thy brothers bloud of thyne hande.
12 Paunorima ivhu, harichazombokuberekeri zvibereko zvaro. Uchava mudzungairi asingatongozorori panyika.”
For when thou tyllest the grounde she shall heceforth not geve hyr power vnto the. A vagabunde and a rennagate shalt thou be vpon the erth.
13 Kaini akati kuna Jehovha, “Kurangwa kwangu kunopfuura zvandinokwanisa kutakura.
And Cain sayd vnto the LORde: my synne is greater then that it may be forgeven.
14 Nhasi muri kundidzinga kubva panyika, uye ndichavanzwa pamberi penyu; ndichava mudzungairi asina zororo panyika, uye ani naani achandiwana achandiuraya.”
Beholde thou castest me out thys day from of the face of the erth and fro thy syghte must I hyde my selfe ad I must be wandrynge and a vagabunde vpon the erth: Morover whosoever fyndeth me wyll kyll 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 the LORde sayd vnto hi Not so but whosoever sleyth Cain shalbe punyshed. vij. folde. And ye LORde put a marke vpo Cain that no ma yt founde hym shulde kyll hym.
16 Saka Kaini akabva pamberi paJehovha akandogara munyika yeNodhi, kumabvazuva kweEdheni.
And Cain went out fro the face of the LORde and dwelt in the lande Nod on the east syde of Eden.
17 Kaini akarara nomukadzi wake, akava nemimba akamuberekera Enoki. Ipapo Kaini akanga achivaka guta, uye akaritumidza zita romwanakomana wake Enoki.
And Cain laye wyth hys wyfe which conceaved and bare Henoch. And he was buyldinge a cyte and called the name of it after the name of hys sonne Henoch.
18 Enoki akaberekerwa Iradhi, uye Iradhi akanga ari baba vaMehujaeri, uye Mehujaeri akanga ari baba vaMetushaeri, uye Metushaeri akanga ari baba vaRameki.
And Henoch begat Irad. And Irad begat Mahuiael. And Mahuiael begat Mathusael. And Mathusael begat Lamech.
19 Rameki akawana vakadzi vaviri, mumwe ainzi Adha uye mumwe ainzi Zira.
And Lamech toke hym two wyves: the one was called Ada and the other Zilla.
20 Adha akabereka Jabhari, ndiye akanga ari baba vavaya vanogara mumatende vaichengeta zvipfuwo.
And Ada bare Iabal of whome came they that dwell in tentes ad possesse catell.
21 Zita romununʼuna wake rainzi Jubhari; akanga ari baba wavose vanoridza rudimbwa nenyere.

22 Zira akanga ane mwanakomana, Tubhari-Kaini, aigadzira nhumbi dzemhando dzose dzendarira nedzesimbi. Hanzvadzi yaTubhari-Kaini yainzi Naama.
And Zilla she also bare Tubalcain a worker in metall and a father of all that grave in brasse and yeron. And Tubalcains syster was called Naema.
23 Rameki akati kuvakadzi vake, “Adha naZira, nditeererei; imi vakadzi vaRameki, inzwai mashoko angu. Ndauraya munhu nokuti andikuvadza, nejaya nokuti randipwanya.
Then sayd Lamech vnto hys wyves Ada ad Zilla: heare my voyce ye wyves of Lamech and herken vnto my wordes for I haue slayne a man and wounded my selfe and haue slayn a yongman and gotte my selfe strypes:
24 Kana Kaini achitsiviwa kanomwe, naizvozvo Rameki kana makumi manomwe namanomwe.”
For Cain shall be avenged sevenfolde: but Lamech seventie tymes sevenfolde.
25 Adhamu akararazve nomukadzi wake, akabereka mwanakomana akamutumidza zita rokuti Seti, achiti, “Mwari andipa mumwe mwana panzvimbo yaAbheri, sezvo Kaini akamuuraya.”
