Senesi 4
1 Pea naʻe ʻilo ʻe ʻAtama ʻa hono uaifi ko ʻIvi; pea tuituʻia ia, pea fanauʻi ʻa Keini, pea pehē ʻe ia, “Kuo u maʻu ha tangata meia Sihova.”
The man slept with Eve his wife. She conceived and gave birth to Cain. She said, “I have produced a man with Yahweh's help.”
2 Pea ne toe fanauʻi ʻa hono tehina ko ʻEpeli. Pea ko e tauhi sipi ʻa ʻEpeli, ka ko e tauhi ngoue ʻa Keini.
Then she gave birth to his brother Abel. Now Abel became a shepherd, but Cain cultivated the soil.
3 Pea ʻi he hokosia ʻae ngaahi ʻaho, naʻe ʻomi ʻe Keini ʻae ngaahi fua ʻoe kelekele, ko e feilaulau kia Sihova.
It came about that in the course of time Cain brought some of the fruit of the ground as an offering to Yahweh.
4 Pea naʻe ʻomi foki ʻe ʻEpeli, ʻae veloaki mo ia naʻe ngako ʻi heʻene fanga manu. Pea naʻe leleiʻia ʻa Sihova kia ʻEpeli mo ʻene feilaulau:
As for Abel, he brought some of the firstborn of his flock and some of the fat. Yahweh accepted Abel and his offering,
5 Ka naʻe ʻikai te ne leleiʻia kia Keini mo ʻene feilaulau. Pea naʻe ʻita ʻaupito ʻa Keini, pea kehe hono mata.
but Cain and his offering he did not accept. So Cain was very angry, and he scowled.
6 Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Keini, “Ko e hā ʻoku ke ʻita ai? Pea ko e hā ʻoku kehe ai ho mata?
Yahweh said to Cain, “Why are you angry and why are you scowling?
7 Kapau te ke fai lelei, ʻikai ʻe maʻu koe? Pea ka ʻikai te ke fai lelei, ʻoku ʻi he matapā ʻae angahala. Pea ʻe anganofo ia kiate koe, pea te ke pule kiate ia.”
If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin crouches at the door and desires to control you, but you must rule over it.”
8 Pea naʻe alea ʻa ʻEpeli mo hono tokoua: pea lolotonga ʻena ʻi he ngoue, naʻe tuʻu hake ʻa Keini ki hono tehina ko ʻEpeli, ʻone tāmateʻi ia.
Cain spoke to Abel his brother. It came about that while they were in the fields, Cain rose up against Abel his brother and killed him.
9 Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Keini, “Ko e fē ʻa ʻEpeli ko ho tehina?” Pea pehē ʻe ia, “ʻOku ʻikai te u ʻilo: he ko e tauhi au ʻa hoku tokoua?”
Then Yahweh said to Cain, “Where is Abel your brother?” He said, “I do not know. Am I my brother's keeper?”
10 Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Ko e hā eni kuo ke fai? ʻOku tangi kiate au mei he kelekele ʻae leʻo ʻoe toto ʻo ho tehina.
Yahweh said, “What have you done? Your brother's blood is calling out to me from the ground.
11 Pea ko eni, kuo fakamalaʻia koe mei he kelekele, ʻaia kuo fakamanga hono ngutu ke maʻu mei ho nima ʻae toto ʻoho tehina;
Now cursed are you from the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother's blood from your hand.
12 ʻoka ke ka ngoueʻi ʻae kelekele, ʻe ʻikai tupu lelei kiate koe ʻa hono fua; te ke hoko ko e fehēhēʻaki mo e hehengi ʻi he fonua.”
When you cultivate the ground, from now on it will not yield to you its strength. A fugitive and a wanderer you will be in the earth.”
13 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Keini kia Sihova, “ʻOku lahi hake ʻa hoku tautea ʻi heʻeku faʻa kātaki.
Cain said to Yahweh, “My punishment is greater than I can bear.
14 Vakai, kuo ke kapusi au ʻi he ʻaho ni mei he funga ʻoe fonua; pea ʻe fufū au mei ho fofonga; pea teu fehēhēʻaki mo hehengi ʻi he fonua; pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ko ia kotoa pē ʻoku ʻiloʻi au ʻe tāmateʻi au.”
Indeed, you have driven me out this day from this ground, and I will be hidden from your face. I will be a fugitive and a wanderer in the earth, and whoever finds me will kill me.”
15 Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kiate ia, “Ko ia ia ʻoku ne tāmateʻi ʻa Keini, ʻe tō kiate ia ʻae tautea ʻo liunga fitu.” Pea naʻe ʻai ʻe Sihova ʻae fakaʻilonga kia Keini, telia naʻa ʻilo ia ʻe ha taha, pea tāmateʻi ia.
Yahweh said to him, “If anyone kills Cain, vengeance will be taken on him sevenfold.” Then Yahweh put a mark on Cain, so that if anyone found him, that person would not attack him.
16 Pea naʻe ʻalu atu ʻa Keini mei he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ke nofo ʻi he fonua ko Noti, ʻi he [potu ] hahake ʻo ʻIteni.
So Cain went out from the presence of Yahweh and lived in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.
17 Pea naʻe ʻilo ʻe Keini ʻa hono uaifi, pea tuituʻia ia mo ne fanauʻi ʻa ʻInoke: pea naʻe langa ʻe ia ʻae kolo, pea naʻa ne fakahingoa ʻae kolo ki he hingoa ʻo hono foha ko ʻInoke.
Cain slept with his wife and she conceived. She gave birth to Enoch. He built a city and named it after his son Enoch.
18 Pea naʻe fanauʻi kia ʻInoke ʻa ʻIlati pea tupu ʻia ʻIlati ʻa Mihuseale: pea tupu ʻia Mihuseale ʻa Metuseʻeli: pea tupu ʻia Metuseʻeli ʻa Lemeki,
To Enoch was born Irad. Irad became the father of Mehujael. Mehujael became the father of Methushael. Methushael became the father of Lamech.
19 Pea naʻe maʻu ʻe Lemeki kiate ia ʻae ongo uaifi: ko e hingoa ʻoe tokotaha ko ʻAta, pea ko e hingoa ʻoe tokotaha ko Sila.
Lamech took for himself two wives. The name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other was Zillah.
20 Pea naʻe fanauʻi ʻe ʻAta ʻa Sepale ko e tamai ia ʻanautolu ʻoku nofo ʻi he ngaahi fale fehikitaki mo tauhi ʻae fanga manu.
Adah gave birth to Jabal. He was the father of those who lived in tents who have livestock.
21 Pea ko e hingoa ʻo hono tokoua ko Supale: ko e tamai ia ʻanautolu kotoa pē ʻoku faiva ʻaki ʻae meʻa tatangi mo e meʻa ʻoku ifi.
His brother's name was Jubal. He was the father of those who play the harp and pipe.
22 Pea fāʻeleʻi foki ʻe Sila ʻa Tupale-Keini, ko e tufunga ʻoe ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ʻi he palasa mo e ukamea; pea ko e tuofefine ʻo Tupale-Keini ko Neama.
As for Zillah, she bore Tubal-Cain, the forger of tools of bronze and iron. The sister of Tubal-Cain was Naamah.
23 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Lemeki ki hono ongo uaifi ko ʻAta mo Sila, “Fanongo ki hoku leʻo; ʻae ongo uaifi ʻo Lemeki, fakafanongo ki heʻeku lea: he kuo u tāmateʻi ha tangata ʻi hoku lavea, ʻio, ko e talavou koeʻuhi ko ʻeku mamahi.
Lamech said to his wives, “Adah and Zillah, listen to my voice; you wives of Lamech, listen to what I say. For I have killed a man for wounding me, a young man for bruising me.
24 Kapau ʻe totongi ʻia Keini ʻo liunga fitu, ko e moʻoni, ʻe liunga fitungofulu ia lau ʻe fitu kia Lemeki.”
If Cain is avenged seven times, then Lamech will be avenged seventy-seven times.”
25 Pea naʻe toe ʻilo ʻe ʻAtama ʻa hono uaifi; pea fāʻeleʻi ʻe ia ʻae tama, pea naʻe ui hono hingoa ko Seti: he naʻe [pehē ʻe ia], “Kuo foaki kiate au ʻe he ʻOtua ha hako ʻe taha ko e fetongi ʻo ʻEpeli, ʻaia naʻe tāmateʻi ʻe Keini.”
Adam slept with his wife again, and she bore another son. She called his name Seth and said, “God has given me another son in the place of Abel, for Cain killed him.”
26 Pea naʻe fanauʻi foki ha foha kia Seti; pea naʻe ui hono hingoa ko ʻInosi: pea naʻe kamata ui ʻae kakai ki he huafa ʻo Sihova.
A son was born to Seth and he called his name Enosh. At that time people began to call on the name of Yahweh.
