Mwanzo 4
1 Mwanume akalala na Hawa mke wake. Akabeba mimba na akamzaa Kaini. Akasema, “nimezaa mwanaume kwa msaada wa Yahwe.”
And Adam lay wyth Heua ys wyfe which conceaved and bare Cain and sayd: I haue goten a ma of the LORde.
2 Kisha akazaa ndugu yake Habili. Sasa Habili akawa mchungaji, lakini Kaini alilima udongo.
And she proceded forth and bare hys brother Abell: And Abell became a sheperde And Cain became a ploweman.
3 Ikawa kwamba baada ya muda Kaini alileta sehemu ya mazao ya ardhi kama sadaka kwa Yahwe.
And it fortuned in processe of tyme that Cain brought of the frute of the erth: an offerynge vnto the LORde.
4 Habili pia, alileta sehemu ya wazao wa kwanza wa wanyama wake na sehemu zilizonona. Yahwe akamkubali Habili pamoja na sadaka yake,
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 lakini Kaini pamoja na sadaka yake Mungu hakuikubali. Kwa hiyo Kaini alikasirika sana, na uso wake ukakunjamana.
but vnto Cain and vnto his offrynge looked he not. And Cain was wroth exceadingly and loured.
6 Yahwe akamwambia Kaini, “kwa nini umekasirika na kwa nini uso wako umekunjamana?
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 Kama ukifanya vema, je hutapata kibali? lakini kama hutafanya lilio jema, dhambi iko inakuotea mlangoni na inatamani kukutawala, lakini inakupasa uishinde.
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 Kaini akamwambia Habili ndugu yake. Hata wakati walipokuwa shambani, Kaini aliinuka dhidi ya Habili ndugu yake na akamuua. (Katika tafsiri za kale zinasema, Kaini alimwambia Habili ndugu yake, “twende mashambani.” Na wakati walipokuwa shambani, Kaini alimuinukia Habili ndugu yake na kumuua).
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 Kisha Yahwe akamuuliza Kaini, “Ndugu yako Habili yuko wapi?” Akasema, “sijui. Je mimi ni mlinzi wa ndugu yangu?”
And ye LORde sayd vnto Cain: where is Abell thy brother? And he sayd: I can not tell am I my brothers keper?
10 Yahwe akasema, “umefanya nini? damu ya ndugu yako inaniita mimi kutokea ardhini.
And he sayd: What hast thou done? the voyce of thy brothers bloud cryeth vnto me out of the erth.
11 Na sasa umelaaniwa wewe kutoka ardhi ambayo imefungua kinywa chake kupokea damu ya ndugu yako kutoka mikononi mwako.
And now cursed be thou as pertaynyng to the erth which opened hyr mouth to receaue thy brothers bloud of thyne hande.
12 Utakapo ilima ardhi, kuanzia sasa na kuendelea haita kuzalia wewe nguvu yake. Utakuwa mkimbizi na mtu asiye na makao duniani.”
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 akamwambia Yahwe, “Adhabu yangu ni kubwa kuliko uwezo wangu wa kustahimili.
And Cain sayd vnto the LORde: my synne is greater then that it may be forgeven.
14 Kwa hakika umenifukuza siku hii ya leo kutoka kwenye ardhi hii, na sitaonekana mbele ya uso wako. Nitakuwa mkimbizi na mtu nisiye na makao katika dunia, na yeyote atakaye niona ataniua.”
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 Yahwe akamwambia, “ikiwa mtuyeyote atamuua Kaini, kisasi kitakuwa juu yake mara saba.” Kisha Yahwe akaweka alama juu ya Kaini, ili kwamba kama mtu awayeyote akimuona, mtu huyo asimshambulie.
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 Kwa hiyo Kaini akatoka mbele ya uwepo wa Yahwe na akaishi katika nchi ya Nodi, mashariki mwa Edeni.
And Cain went out fro the face of the LORde and dwelt in the lande Nod on the east syde of Eden.
17 Kaini akamjua mke wake na akapata mimba. Akamzaa Henoko. Akajenga mji na akauita kwa jina la mwanae Henoko.
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 Kwa Henoko akazaliwa Iradi. Iradi akamzaa Mehuyaeli. Mehuyaeli akamzaa Methushaeli. Methushaeli akamzaa Lameki.
And Henoch begat Irad. And Irad begat Mahuiael. And Mahuiael begat Mathusael. And Mathusael begat Lamech.
19 Lameki akajitwalia wake wawili: jinala mmoja alikuwa Ada, na jina la yule mwingine alikuwa Sila.
And Lamech toke hym two wyves: the one was called Ada and the other Zilla.
20 Ada akamzaa Yabali. Huyu ndiye alikuwa baba yao na wale walioishi hemani ambao wanafuga wanyama.
And Ada bare Iabal of whome came they that dwell in tentes ad possesse catell.
21 Ndugu yake aliitwa Yubali. Huyu alikuwa baba yao na wale wapigao kinubi na filimbi.
And hys brothers name was Iubal: of hym came all that excercyse them selves on the harpe and on the organs
22 Sila naye akamzaa Tubal Kaini, mfua vyombo vya shaba na chuma. Dada yake na Tubal Kaini alikuwa 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 Lameki akawaambia wake zake, Ada na Sila, sikieni sauti yangu; ninyi wake wa Lameki, sikilizeni nisemacho. Kwa kuwa nimemuua mtu kwa kunijeruhi, kijana kwa kunichubua.
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 Ikiwa Kaini atalipiwa kisasi mara saba, ndipo Lameki atalipiwa kisasi mara sabini na saba.”
For Cain shall be avenged sevenfolde: but Lamech seventie tymes sevenfolde.
25 Adam akamjua mke wake tena, na akazaa mtoto mwanaume. Akamuita jina lake Sethi na akasema, “Mungu amenipatia mtoto mwingine wa kiume kwa nafasi ya Habili, kwa kuwa Kaini alimuuwa.”
Adam also laye with hys wyfe yet agayne and she bare a sonne ad called hys name Seth For god (sayd she) hath geven me a nother sonne For Abell whom Cain slewe.
26 Mtoto wa kiume alizaliwa kwa Sethi na akamuita jina lake Enoshi. Wakati huo watu walianza kuliitia jina la Yahwe.
And Seth begat a sonne and called hys name Enos. And in that tyme began men to call on the name of the LORde.
