< Genesis 4 >
1 Ang lalaki ay sumiping sa kanyang asawang si Eva. Siya ay nabuntis at isinilang niya si Cain. Sinabi niya, “Nagkaroon ako ng lalaki sa tulong ni Yahweh.”
And Man knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bore Cain, and said, I have acquired a man with Jehovah.
2 Pagkatapos ay isinilang niya ang lalaking kapatid nitong si Abel. Naging pastol si Abel, pero si Cain ay nagbungkal ng lupa.
And she further bore his brother Abel. And Abel was a shepherd, but Cain was a husbandman.
3 At nangyari na sa paglipas ng panahon dinala ni Cain ang ilan sa bunga ng lupa bilang handog kay Yahweh.
And in process of time it came to pass that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering to Jehovah.
4 Si Abel naman ay nagdala ng ilan sa panganay ng kanyang kawan at ilan sa taba. Tinanggap ni Yahweh si Abel at ang kanyang handog,
And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock, and of their fat. And Jehovah looked upon Abel, and on his offering;
5 pero hindi niya tinanggap si Cain at ang kanyang handog. Kaya lubhang nagalit si Cain, at sumimangot siya.
and upon Cain, and on his offering, he did not look. And Cain was very angry, and his countenance fell.
6 Sinabi ni Yahweh kay Cain, “Bakit ka nagagalit at bakit ka sumisimangot?
And Jehovah said to Cain, Why art thou angry, and why is thy countenance fallen?
7 Kung gagawin mo ang tama, hindi ka ba tatanggapin? Pero kung hindi mo ginagawa ang tama, ang kasalanan ay nag-aabang sa pinto at ninanais na mamahala sa iyo, subalit dapat mo itong pamunuan.”
If thou doest well, will not [thy countenance] look up [with confidence]? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door; and unto thee [shall be] his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.
8 Kinausap ni Cain si Abel na kanyang kapatid. At nangyari na habang sila ay nasa bukid, tumindig si Cain laban sa kanyang kapatid na si Abel at pinatay niya ito.
And Cain spoke to Abel his brother, and it came to pass when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.
9 Pagkatapos sinabi ni Yahweh kay Cain, “Nasaan ang iyong kapatid na si Abel?” Sinabi niya, “Hindi ko alam. Tagapangalaga ba ako ng aking kapatid?”
And Jehovah said to Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: am I my brother's keeper?
10 Sinabi ni Yahweh, “Ano ang ginawa mo? Tumatawag sa akin ang dugo ng iyong kapatid mula sa lupa.
And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood is crying to me from the ground.
11 Ngayon isinumpa ka mula sa lupa, na nagbukas ng bunganga nito upang tanggapin ang dugo ng iyong kapatid mula sa iyong kamay.
And now be thou cursed from the ground, which hath opened its mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand.
12 Kapag ikaw ay magbubungkal ng lupa, mula ngayon hindi na nito isusuko sa iyo ang kanyang lakas. Magiging palaboy at pagala-gala ka sa mundo.”
When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield thee its strength; a wanderer and fugitive shalt thou be on the earth.
13 Sinabi ni Cain kay Yahweh, “Ang parusa ko ay higit kaysa sa aking makakaya.
And Cain said to Jehovah, My punishment is too great to be borne.
14 Sa katunayan, itinaboy mo ako sa araw na ito mula sa lupang ito, at ako ay itatago mula sa iyong mukha. Magiging palaboy ako at pagala-gala sa mundo, at kung sinuman ang makasusumpong sa akin ay papatayin ako.”
Behold, thou hast driven me this day from the face of the ground, and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a wanderer and fugitive on the earth; and it will come to pass, [that] every one who finds me will slay me.
15 Sinabi ni Yahweh sa kanya, “Kung sinuman ang papatay kay Cain, makapitong beses siyang gagantihan.” Kaya nilagyan ni Yahweh ng palatandaan si Cain upang sinumang makasumpong sa kanya, hindi siya lulusubin ng taong iyon.
And Jehovah said to him, Therefore, whoever slayeth Cain, it shall be revenged sevenfold. And Jehovah set a mark on Cain, lest any finding him should smite him.
16 Kaya umalis si Cain mula sa presensya ni Yahweh at nanirahan sa lupain ng Nod, sa silangan ng Eden.
And Cain went out from the presence of Jehovah, and dwelt in the land of Nod, toward the east of Eden.
17 Sinipingan ni Cain ang kanyang asawa at nabuntis ito. Isinilang niya si Enoc. Nagtatag siya ng isang lungsod at pinangalanan niya ito sunod sa kanyang anak na si Enoc.
And Cain knew his wife, and she conceived and bore Enoch. And he built a city; and he called the name of the city after the name of his son Enoch.
18 Kay Enoc isinilang si Irad. Si Irad ang naging ama ni Mehujael. Si Mehujael ang naging ama ni Metusael. Si Metusael ang naging ama ni Lamec.
And to Enoch was born Irad; and Irad begot Mehujael; and Mehujael begot Methushael; and Methushael begot Lemech.
19 Si Lamec ay kumuha ng dalawang asawa para sa kanyang sarili: ang pangalan ng isa ay si Ada, at ang pangalan ng isa pa ay si Zilla.
And Lemech took two wives: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the second, Zillah.
20 Isinilang ni Ada si Jabal. Siya ay ama ng lahat ng nakatira sa mga tolda na may mga alagang hayop.
And Adah bore Jabal: he was the father of those who dwell in tents, and [breed] cattle.
21 Ang pangalan ng kanyang kapatid na lalaki ay Jubal. Siya ang ama ng lahat ng mga manunugtog ng alpa at plauta.
And his brother's name was Jubal: he was the father of those who handle the harp and pipe.
22 Si Zilla naman, naging anak niya si Tubal Cain, ang nagpapanday ng mga kagamitang tanso at bakal. Ang babaeng kapatid ni Tubal Cain ay si Naama.
And Zillah, she also bore Tubal-Cain, the forger of every kind of tool of brass and iron. And the sister of Tubal-Cain was Naamah.
23 Sinabi ni Lamec sa kanyang dalawang asawa, “Ada at Zilla dinggin ninyo ang aking tinig; kayong mga asawa ni Lamec, makinig kayo sa sasabihin ko. Nakapatay ako ng isang tao dahil sinugatan ako, isang binata dahil sa pananakit sa akin.
And Lemech said to his wives: Adah and Zillah, hear my voice, Ye wives of Lemech, listen to my speech. For I have slain a man for my wound, and a youth for my bruise.
24 Kung ipaghihiganti si Cain ng makapitong ulit, sa gayon si Lamec ay ipaghihiganti ng pitumpu't-pitong ulit.”
If Cain shall be avenged seven-fold; Lemech seventy and seven fold.
25 Si Adan ay muling sumiping sa kanyang asawa, at siya ay nagkaanak ng isa pang anak na lalaki. Tinawag niya itong Set at sinabing, “Binigyan muli ako ng Diyos ng anak na lalaki kapalit ni Abel, dahil pinatay siya ni Cain.”
And Adam knew his wife again, and she bore a son, and called his name Seth: ...For God has appointed me another seed instead of Abel, because Cain has slain him.
26 Si Set ay nagkaroon ng anak na lalaki at tinawag niya itong Enos. Sa panahong iyon ang mga tao ay nagsimulang tumawag sa pangalan ni Yahweh.
And to Seth, to him also was born a son; and he called his name Enosh. Then people began to call on the name of Jehovah.
