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.”
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 Pagkatapos ay isinilang niya ang lalaking kapatid nitong si Abel. Naging pastol si Abel, pero si Cain ay nagbungkal ng lupa.
[After those boys grew up], Abel (tended/took care of) sheep and goats, and Cain became a farmer.
3 At nangyari na sa paglipas ng panahon dinala ni Cain ang ilan sa bunga ng lupa bilang handog kay Yahweh.
One day Cain harvested some of the crops he had grown and brought them to Yahweh as a gift for him,
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 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 pero hindi niya tinanggap si Cain at ang kanyang handog. Kaya lubhang nagalit si Cain, at sumimangot siya.
but he was not pleased with Cain and his offering. So Cain became very angry, and his face looked dejected.
6 Sinabi ni Yahweh kay Cain, “Bakit ka nagagalit at bakit ka sumisimangot?
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 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 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 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.
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 Pagkatapos sinabi ni Yahweh kay Cain, “Nasaan ang iyong kapatid na si Abel?” Sinabi niya, “Hindi ko alam. Tagapangalaga ba ako ng aking kapatid?”
[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 Sinabi ni Yahweh, “Ano ang ginawa mo? Tumatawag sa akin ang dugo ng iyong kapatid mula sa lupa.
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 Ngayon isinumpa ka mula sa lupa, na nagbukas ng bunganga nito upang tanggapin ang dugo ng iyong kapatid mula sa iyong kamay.
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 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.”
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 Sinabi ni Cain kay Yahweh, “Ang parusa ko ay higit kaysa sa aking makakaya.
Cain replied, “You are punishing me more then I can endure.
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.”
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 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.
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 Kaya umalis si Cain mula sa presensya ni Yahweh at nanirahan sa lupain ng Nod, sa silangan ng Eden.
So Cain left Yahweh and went to live in the land called Nod, [which means ‘wandering’], which was 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.
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 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.
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 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.
When Lamech [grew up he] married two women. The name of one was Adah and the other was Zillah.
20 Isinilang ni Ada si Jabal. Siya ay ama ng lahat ng nakatira sa mga tolda na may mga alagang hayop.
Adah gave birth to [a son she named] Jabal.
21 Ang pangalan ng kanyang kapatid na lalaki ay Jubal. Siya ang ama ng lahat ng mga manunugtog ng alpa at plauta.
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 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.
[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 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.
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 Kung ipaghihiganti si Cain ng makapitong ulit, sa gayon si Lamec ay ipaghihiganti ng pitumpu't-pitong ulit.”
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 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.”
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 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.
When Seth grew up, he became the father of a son whom he named Enosh. About that time people began to worship Yahweh [again].
