1 Adhamu akarara nomukadzi wake Evha, uye akava nemimba akabereka Kaini. Akati, “Norubatsiro rwaJehovha, ndabereka murume.”
Nake Adamu agĩkoma na mũtumia wake Hawa, nake akĩgĩa nda, agĩciara Kaini. Nake akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ndĩkũgĩa na mwana wa kahĩĩ nĩ ũndũ wa gũteithio nĩ Jehova.”
2 Mushure akabereka mununʼuna wake Abheri. Zvino Abheri aiva mufudzi wamakwai, uye Kaini aiva murimi wevhu.
Thuutha ũcio agĩciara Habili, mũrũ wa nyina. Habili aarĩ mũrĩithi wa mbũri nake Kaini aarĩ mũrĩmi.
3 Mukufamba kwenguva, Kaini akauya nezvimwe zvezvibereko zvevhu sechipiriso kuna Jehovha.
Maikarĩte kwa ihinda-rĩ, Kaini akĩrehe maciaro mamwe ma mũgũnda marĩ igongona kũrĩ Jehova.
4 Asi Abheri akauya nomugove wamafuta aibva mumhongora dzamakwai. Jehovha akagamuchira Abheri nechipiriso chake,
No Habili akĩrehe marigithathi mamwe marĩa manoru ma rũũru rwake. Nake Jehova agĩkenio nĩ Habili na igongona rĩake,
5 asi Kaini nechipiriso chake haana kumugamuchira. Saka Kaini akatsamwa zvikuru, uye chiso chake chikaunyana.
no ndaakenirio nĩ Kaini na igongona rĩake. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Kaini akĩrakara mũno, na agĩtukia gĩthiithi.
6 Ipapo Jehovha akati kuna Kaini, “Wakatsamweiko? Seiko chiso chako chakaunyana?
Nake Jehova Ngai akĩũria Kaini atĩrĩ, “Ũrakarĩte nĩkĩ? Na nĩ kĩĩ gĩtũmĩte ũtukie gĩthiithi?
7 Kana ukaita zvakanaka, haungagamuchirwi here? Asi kana usingaiti zvakanaka, chivi chakakuvandira pamukova wako; chinoda kukubata, asi iwe unofanira kuchikunda.”
Ũngĩka ũrĩa kwagĩrĩire-rĩ, no wage gwĩtĩkĩrĩka? No ũngĩaga gwĩka ũrĩa kwagĩrĩire-rĩ, mehia makuoheirie mũrango-inĩ waku makĩenda gũgwatha; no wee no nginya ũmatoorie.”
8 Zvino Kaini akati kumununʼuna wake, “Ngatimbobuda tiende kumunda.” Uye vakati vari mumunda Kaini akarwisa mununʼuna wake Abheri akamuuraya.
Thuutha ũcio Kaini akĩĩra mũrũ wa nyina Habili atĩrĩ, “Nĩtumagare tũthiĩ mũgũnda.” Na rĩrĩa maarĩ kũu mũgũnda, Kaini agĩtharĩkĩra mũrũ wa nyina Habili, akĩmũũraga.
9 Ipapo Jehovha akati kuna Kaini, “Aripiko mununʼuna wako Abheri?” Iye akati, “Handizivi. Ko, ndini muchengeti womununʼuna wangu here?”
Nake Jehova akĩũria Kaini atĩrĩ, “Arĩ ha mũrũ-wa-nyũkwa Habili?” Nake akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Niĩ ndiũĩ, kaĩ arĩ niĩ mũmenyereri wa mũrũ-wa-maitũ?”
10 Jehovha akati, “Waiteiko? Inzwa! Ropa romununʼuna wako riri kudanidzira kwandiri richibva muvhu.
Jehova akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ atĩa wĩkĩte? Ta thikĩrĩria! Thakame ya mũrũ-wa-nyũkwa nĩĩrangaĩra ĩrĩ tĩĩri-inĩ.
11 Zvino watukwa uye wadzingwa panyika yazarura muromo wayo kuti imedze ropa romununʼuna wako kubva paruoko rwako.
Na rĩrĩ, nĩũgwatĩtwo nĩ kĩrumi na ũkaingatwo mũgũnda ũrĩa waathamirie kanua kaguo kwamũkĩra thakame ya mũrũ-wa-nyũkwa kuuma guoko-inĩ gwaku.
12 Paunorima ivhu, harichazombokuberekeri zvibereko zvaro. Uchava mudzungairi asingatongozorori panyika.”
Rĩrĩa ũrĩũrĩmaga-rĩ, ndũgacooka gũgũciarĩra maciaro maguo. Ũgũtuĩka mũndũ ũtakindagĩria, wa kũũrũũraga gũkũ thĩ.”
13 Kaini akati kuna Jehovha, “Kurangwa kwangu kunopfuura zvandinokwanisa kutakura.
Nake Kaini akĩĩra Jehova atĩrĩ, “Iherithia rĩakwa nĩ inene gũkĩra ũrĩa ingĩhota gwĩtiiria.
14 Nhasi muri kundidzinga kubva panyika, uye ndichavanzwa pamberi penyu; ndichava mudzungairi asina zororo panyika, uye ani naani achandiwana achandiuraya.”
Ũmũthĩ ũyũ nĩũranyingata kuuma mũgũnda ũyũ na ndũũre hithĩtwo ũthiũ waku; ngũtuĩka mũndũ ũtakindagĩria, wa kũũrũũraga gũkũ thĩ, na ũrĩa wothe ũkaanyona nĩakanjũraga.”
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.
No Jehova akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Aca, ti ũguo; mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ angĩkooraga Kaini, nĩakarĩhio maita mũgwanja.” Jehova agĩcooka agĩĩkĩra Kaini rũũri nĩgeetha ũrĩa wothe ũngĩmuona ndakamũũrage!
16 Saka Kaini akabva pamberi paJehovha akandogara munyika yeNodhi, kumabvazuva kweEdheni.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Kaini akĩehera akiuma harĩ Jehova, na agĩtũũra bũrũri-inĩ wa Nodu, mwena wa irathĩro rĩa Edeni.
17 Kaini akarara nomukadzi wake, akava nemimba akamuberekera Enoki. Ipapo Kaini akanga achivaka guta, uye akaritumidza zita romwanakomana wake Enoki.
Kaini agĩkoma na mũtumia wake, na akĩgĩa nda, agĩciara Enoku. Hĩndĩ ĩyo Kaini nĩakaga itũũra inene, na aarĩkia kũrĩaka, akĩrĩĩta Enoku o ta ũrĩa mũriũ eetagwo.
18 Enoki akaberekerwa Iradhi, uye Iradhi akanga ari baba vaMehujaeri, uye Mehujaeri akanga ari baba vaMetushaeri, uye Metushaeri akanga ari baba vaRameki.
Nake Enoku agĩciarĩrwo Iradu, nake Iradu aarĩ ithe wa Mehujaeli, nake Mehujaeli aarĩ ithe wa Methushaeli, nake Methushaeli aarĩ ithe wa Lameku.
19 Rameki akawana vakadzi vaviri, mumwe ainzi Adha uye mumwe ainzi Zira.
Lameku ũcio akĩhikia andũ-a-nja eerĩ, ũmwe eetagwo Ada na ũrĩa ũngĩ eetagwo Zila.
20 Adha akabereka Jabhari, ndiye akanga ari baba vavaya vanogara mumatende vaichengeta zvipfuwo.
Ada agĩciara Jabali; na nĩwe ithe wa andũ arĩa matũũraga hema-inĩ na marĩithagia mahiũ.
21 Zita romununʼuna wake rainzi Jubhari; akanga ari baba wavose vanoridza rudimbwa nenyere.
Mũrũ-wa nyina eetagwo Jubali; nake nĩwe ithe wa andũ arĩa othe mahũũraga inanda cia mũgeeto na makahuha mĩtũrirũ.
22 Zira akanga ane mwanakomana, Tubhari-Kaini, aigadzira nhumbi dzemhando dzose dzendarira nedzesimbi. Hanzvadzi yaTubhari-Kaini yainzi Naama.
Zila o nake aarĩ na mũriũ, nake eetagwo Tubali-Kaini, na nĩwe waturaga indo cia mĩthemba yothe cia gĩcango na cia kĩgera. Tubali-Kaini aarĩ na mwarĩ wa nyina wetagwo Naama.
23 Rameki akati kuvakadzi vake, “Adha naZira, nditeererei; imi vakadzi vaRameki, inzwai mashoko angu. Ndauraya munhu nokuti andikuvadza, nejaya nokuti randipwanya.
Lameku akĩĩra atumia ake atĩrĩ, “Ada na Zila, taa thikĩrĩriai; inyuĩ atumia a Lameku, ta iguai ciugo ciakwa. Nĩnjũragĩte mũndũ nĩ ũndũ wa kũndiihia, ngooraga mũndũ mwĩthĩ nĩ ũndũ wa kũnguraria.
24 Kana Kaini achitsiviwa kanomwe, naizvozvo Rameki kana makumi manomwe namanomwe.”
Angĩkorwo Kaini arĩhagĩrio maita mũgwanja-rĩ, Lameku nake akarĩhĩrio maita mĩrongo mũgwanja na mũgwanja.”
25 Adhamu akararazve nomukadzi wake, akabereka mwanakomana akamutumidza zita rokuti Seti, achiti, “Mwari andipa mumwe mwana panzvimbo yaAbheri, sezvo Kaini akamuuraya.”
Nake Adamu agĩkoma na mũtumia wake rĩngĩ, nake agĩciara kaana ga kahĩĩ, na agĩgatua Sethi, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ngai nĩaheete mwana ũngĩ handũ ha Habili, ũrĩa Kaini ooragire.”
26 Setiwo akava nomwanakomana, akamutumidza zita rokuti Enoshi. Panguva iyo vanhu vakatanga kudana kuzita raJehovha.
Sethi o nake aarĩ na mũriũ wake, nake akĩmũtua rĩĩtwa Enoshu. Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩrĩo andũ mambĩrĩirie gũkaĩra rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova.
