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.”
The man knew Eve his wife. She conceived, and gave birth to Cain, and said, “I have gotten a man with the LORD’s help.”
2 Pagkatapos ay isinilang niya ang lalaking kapatid nitong si Abel. Naging pastol si Abel, pero si Cain ay nagbungkal ng lupa.
Again she gave birth, to Cain’s brother Abel. Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.
3 At nangyari na sa paglipas ng panahon dinala ni Cain ang ilan sa bunga ng lupa bilang handog kay Yahweh.
As time passed, Cain brought an offering to the LORD from the fruit of the ground.
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,
Abel also brought some of the firstborn of his flock and of its fat. The LORD respected 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 didn’t respect Cain and his offering. Cain was very angry, and the expression on his face fell.
6 Sinabi ni Yahweh kay Cain, “Bakit ka nagagalit at bakit ka sumisimangot?
The LORD said to Cain, “Why are you angry? Why has the expression of your face 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 you do well, won’t it be lifted up? If you don’t do well, sin crouches at the door. Its desire is for you, but you are to rule over 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.
Cain said to Abel, his brother, “Let’s go into the field.” While they were in the field, Cain rose up against Abel, his brother, 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?”
The LORD said to Cain, “Where is Abel, your brother?” He said, “I don’t know. 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.
The LORD said, “What have you done? The voice of your brother’s blood cries 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.
Now you are cursed because of the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your 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.”
From now on, when you till the ground, it won’t yield its strength to you. You will be a fugitive and a wanderer in the earth.”
13 Sinabi ni Cain kay Yahweh, “Ang parusa ko ay higit kaysa sa aking makakaya.
Cain said to the LORD, “My punishment is greater than I can bear.
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, you have driven me out today from the surface of the ground. I will be hidden from your face, and I will be a fugitive and a wanderer in the earth. Whoever finds 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.
The LORD said to him, “Therefore whoever slays Cain, vengeance will be taken on him sevenfold.” The LORD appointed a sign for Cain, so that anyone finding him would not strike him.
16 Kaya umalis si Cain mula sa presensya ni Yahweh at nanirahan sa lupain ng Nod, sa silangan ng Eden.
Cain left the LORD’s presence, and lived in the land of Nod, 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.
Cain knew his wife. She conceived, and gave birth to Enoch. He built a city, and named 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.
Irad was born to Enoch. Irad became the father of Mehujael. Mehujael became the father of Methushael. Methushael 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.
Lamech took two wives: the name of the first one was Adah, and the name of the second one 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 Jabal, who was the father of those who dwell in tents and have livestock.
21 Ang pangalan ng kanyang kapatid na lalaki ay Jubal. Siya ang ama ng lahat ng mga manunugtog ng alpa at plauta.
His brother’s name was Jubal, who was the father of all 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.
Zillah also gave birth to Tubal Cain, the forger of every cutting instrument of bronze and iron. Tubal Cain’s sister 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.
Lamech said to his wives, “Adah and Zillah, hear my voice. You wives of Lamech, listen to my speech, for I have slain a man for wounding me, a young man for bruising me.
24 Kung ipaghihiganti si Cain ng makapitong ulit, sa gayon si Lamec ay ipaghihiganti ng pitumpu't-pitong ulit.”
If Cain will be avenged seven times, truly Lamech seventy-seven times.”
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 knew his wife again. She gave birth to a son, and named him Seth, saying, “for God has given me another child instead of Abel, for 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.
A son was also born to Seth, and he named him Enosh. At that time men began to call on the LORD’s name.
