Bilowgii 4
1 Ninkiina naagtiisii Xaawa ahayd buu u tegey; wayna uuraysatay, oo Qaabiil bay dhashay, oo waxay tidhi, Wiil baan ku helay Rabbiga caawimaaddiisa.
Adam (had sex/slept) with his wife Eve, and she became pregnant and gave birth to a son whom she named Cain, [which sounds like the word that means ‘produce’], because, she said, “By Yahweh’s help I have produced a son.” Some time later she gave birth to another son, and she named him Abel.
2 Dabadeedna waxay dhashay walaalkiis Haabiil. Haabiilna wuxuu ahaa adhijir, laakiin Qaabiil wuxuu ahaa beerfale.
[After those boys grew up], Abel (tended/took care of) sheep and goats, and Cain became a farmer.
3 Maalmo dabadeed waxay noqotay in Qaabiil qurbaan ahaan Rabbiga ugu keenay midhihii dhulka.
One day Cain harvested some of the crops he had grown and brought them to Yahweh as a gift for him,
4 Haabiilna wuxuu wax uga keenay curadyadii adhigiisa iyo baruurtoodiiba. Rabbiguna wuu eegay Haabiil iyo qurbaankiisii;
and Abel took from his flock some of the first lambs that had been born [and killed them] and, as a gift, gave to Yahweh the fatty parts, [which were the best parts]. Yahweh was pleased with Abel and his offering,
5 laakiinse Qaabiil iyo qurbaankiisii Rabbigu ma uu eegin. Qaabiilna aad buu u cadhooday, wejigiisiina wuu madoobaaday.
but he was not pleased with Cain and his offering. So Cain became very angry, and his face looked dejected.
6 Oo Rabbigu wuxuu ku yidhi Qaabiil, Maxaad u cadhoonaysaa? Maxaase wejigaagu u madoobaaday?
Yahweh said to Cain, “(You should not be angry!/Why are you angry?) [RHQ] (You should not scowl like that!/Why do you scowl like that?) [RHQ]
7 Haddaad wax wanaagsan samaysid, sow laguma aqbaleen? Haddaadan wax wanaagsan samaynse, dembi illinkuu kuugu gabbanayaa; doonistiisuna aday noqon doontaa, adiguna waa inaad xukuntid isaga.
If you had done what was right (OR, if you do what is right) [RHQ], I would accept your offering. But if you do not do what is right, [your desire to] sin [is ready to attack you like a wild animal that] [PRS] crouches outside the doorway, [ready to spring on its victim] [MET]. [Your desire to] sin wants to control you, but you must (control/not obey) it.”
8 Qaabiilna wuxuu ku yidhi walaalkiis Haabiil, Ina keen, aynu duurka tagnee. Waxaana dhacday, markii ay duurka joogeen, in Qaabiil walaalkiis Haabiil ku kacay oo dilay isagii.
But one day, Cain said to his younger brother Abel, “Let’s go for a walk in the fields.” [So they went together]. And when they were in the countryside, suddenly Cain attacked Abel and killed him.
9 Rabbiguna wuxuu Qaabiil ku yidhi, Walaalkaa Haabiil meeh? Kolkaasuu yidhi, Ma aqaan: ma anigaa ah walaalkay ilaaliyihiisa?
[Later, even though] Yahweh [knew what Cain had done], he said to Cain, “[Do you know] where Abel, your younger brother, is?” Cain replied, “No, I do not know. (My job is not to guard my younger brother!/Am I supposed to take care of my younger brother?)” [RHQ]
10 Kolkaasaa Ilaah ku yidhi, Maxaad samaysay? Codkii dhiiggii walaalkaa ayaa dhulka iiga dhawaaqayaye.
Yahweh said, “You have done a terrible thing [RHQ]! So now [it is as though] your younger brother’s voice is crying to me from the ground, demanding that his death must be avenged.
11 Oo haatan waad ka habaaran tahay dhulkii afkiisa u kala qaaday si uu dhiiggii walaalkaa gacantaada uga helo.
You have killed your younger brother, and the ground has soaked up his blood. So now I will expel you from this land and curse your efforts to produce crops.
12 Kolkii aad dhulka beeratid, wax badan kuuma dhali doono. Waxaad dhulka ku noqon doontaa mid carcarara oo warwareega.
You will till the ground to plant crops, but the ground will produce very few [HYP] crops. And you will continually wander around the earth, and not have any place to live permanently.”
13 Qaabiilna wuxuu Rabbiga ku yidhi, Taqsiirtaydu waa ka sii badan tahay wax aan qaadi karo.
Cain replied, “You are punishing me more then I can endure.
14 Bal eeg, maanta dhulkaad iga eriday, wejigaagana waan ka qarsoonaan doonaa, waxaanan dhulka ku noqon doonaa mid carcarara oo warwareega; waxaana dhici doonta in kii i arkaaba i dili doono.
You are about to expel me from the ground [that I have been cultivating], and I will no longer be able to come (into your presence/and talk with you). Furthermore, I will be continually wandering around the earth with no place to live permanently, and anyone who sees me will kill me.”
15 Oo Rabbigu wuxuu ku yidhi isagii, Sidaas daraaddeed ku alla kii dila Qaabiil, waxaa looga aargudan doonaa toddoba labanlaab. Rabbiguna calaamad buu u sameeyey Qaabiil, si aanu ku alla kii arkaaba u dilin.
But Yahweh said to him, “No, that will not happen. I will put a mark on you to warn anyone who sees you that [I will punish him severely if] he kills you. I will punish that person seven times as severely as I am punishing you.” Then Yahweh put a mark on Cain’s forehead.
16 Qaabiilna Rabbiga hortiisuu ka tegey, oo wuxuu degay dalkii la odhan jiray Nood, oo xagga bari oo Ceeden ku yiil.
So Cain left Yahweh and went to live in the land called Nod, [which means ‘wandering’], which was east of Eden.
17 Qaabiilna naagtiisuu u tegey; wayna uuraysatay, oo waxay dhashay Enoog. Wuxuuna dhisay magaalo, oo magaaladiina wuxuu ku magacaabay magicii wiilkiisii Enoog.
Some time later, Cain (had sex/slept) with his wife, and she [became pregnant and] gave birth to a son, whom she named Enoch. Then Cain started to build a city, and he named the city ‘Enoch’, the same name that his son had.
18 Enoogna waxaa u dhashay Ciiraad, Ciiraadna wuxuu dhalay Mexuuya'el, Mexuuya'elna wuxuu dhalay Metuusha'el, Metuusha'elna wuxuu dhalay Lameg.
Enoch [grew up and married and] became the father of a son whom he named Irad. When Irad [grew up he] became the father of a son whom he named Mehujael. Mehujael [grew up and] became the father of a son whom he named Methuselah. Methuselah [grew up and] became the father of Lamech.
19 Lamegna wuxuu guursaday laba naagood; mid magaceedu wuxuu ahaa Caadah, tan kalena magaceedu wuxuu ahaa Sillah.
When Lamech [grew up he] married two women. The name of one was Adah and the other was Zillah.
20 Caadahna waxay dhashay Yaabaal: isna wuxuu ahaa aabbihii kuwa teendhooyinka deggan oo xoolaha leh.
Adah gave birth to [a son she named] Jabal.
21 Magaca walaalkiisna wuxuu ahaa Yuubaal; isna wuxuu ahaa aabbihii kuwa kataaradda iyo biibiilaha garaaca.
Later, Jabal was the first person who lived in tents because he traveled from place to place to take care of livestock. His younger brother’s name was Jubal. He was the first person who made/played a (lyre/stringed instrument) and a flute.
22 Sillahna waxay dhashay Tuubalqayin oo ahaa mid tumi jiray alaabtii naxaasta iyo birta ahayd oo dhan; Tuubalqayin walaashiisna waxay ahayd Nacmah.
[Lamech’s other wife] Zillah gave birth to a son whom she named Tubal-Cain. Later Tubal-Cain became a (blacksmith/one who made tools from bronze and iron). Tubal-Cain had a younger sister whose name was Naamah.
23 Lamegna wuxuu naagihiisii ku yidhi: Caadah iyo Sillahay, codkayga maqla; Lameg naagihiisow, hadalkayga dhegaysta; Nin baan u dilay dhaawicid uu i dhaawacay aawadeed, Iyo nin dhallinyar dhufashadii uu wax igu dhuftay aawadeed.
One day Lamech said to his two wives, “Adah and Zillah, listen carefully to what I am saying. A young man struck me and wounded me, so I killed him.
24 Haddii Qaabiil toddoba labanlaab looga aargudan lahaa, Runtii Lameg waa in toddoba iyo toddobaatan labanlaab looga aar gutaa.
Yahweh said long ago that he would avenge and punish anyone who killed Cain seven times as much as he punished Cain [for killing his younger brother]. So if anyone [tries to] kill me, I will punish him 77 times as much [as Yahweh punished Cain].”
25 Aadanna naagtiisii mar kale ayuu u tegey; waxayna dhashay wiil, magiciisiina waxay u bixisay Seed, iyadoo leh, Ilaah abuur kaluu ii soo dhigay Haabiil meeshiisii; waayo, Qaabiil baa dilay isagii.
Adam continued to (have sex/sleep) with [EUP] his wife, and she [became pregnant and] gave birth to another son, whom she named Seth, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘given’], because, she said, “God has given me another child to take the place of Abel, since Cain killed him.”
26 Seedna waxaa u dhashay wiil, magiciisiina wuxuu u bixiyey Enoos; markaasaa dadkii waxay bilaabeen inay Rabbiga ku baryaan magiciisa.
When Seth grew up, he became the father of a son whom he named Enosh. About that time people began to worship Yahweh [again].
