< 1 Mose 4 >
1 Adam de ne ho kaa ne yere Hawa ma onyinsɛn, woo abarimaa a wɔfrɛ no Kain. Na ɔkae se, Awurade adaworoma, mawo ɔbabarima.
Emesịa, Adam na nwunye ya Iiv dinakọrọ dịka di na nwunye. Iiv tụụrụ ime mụọ nwa nwoke, onye ha gụrụ Ken. Iiv sịrị, “Site nʼinyeaka Onyenwe anyị, amụtala m nwa nwoke!”
2 Akyiri no, ɔsan woo nʼakyi babarima too no din Habel. Na Habel bɛyɛɛ oguanhwɛfo, na Kain nso bɛyɛɛ okuafo.
Emesịa Iiv mụtara nwanne ya nwoke Ebel. Ebel ghọrọ onye na-azụ igwe atụrụ. Ma Ken ghọrọ onye ọrụ ubi.
3 Nna bi akyi no, Kain de nʼafum nnɔbae bi kɔbɔɔ Awurade afɔre.
Mgbe ụfọdụ oge gasịrị, Ken wetaara Onyenwe anyị ụfọdụ ihe ubi ya dịka onyinye.
4 Habel nso de ne nyɛmmoa no mu mmakan a wɔadodɔ srade kɔbɔɔ Onyankopɔn afɔre. Awurade ani sɔɔ Habel afɔrebɔ no.
Ma Ebel, ya onwe ya nyekwara onyinye site nʼigwe ewu na atụrụ ya e bụ ụzọ mụọ, nke mara abụba. Onyenwe anyị nabatara Ebel na onyinye ya,
5 Nanso Kain afɔrebɔ no de, nʼani ansɔ. Asɛm no anyɛ Kain dɛ, na ne bo fuwii.
ma ọ nabataghị Ken na onyinye ya. Nke a wutere Ken, mee ka o wee iwe dị ukwuu. Ihu ya agbarụọ.
6 Awurade bisaa Kain se, “Adɛn nti na wo bo afuw? Adɛn nti na woamuna saa?
Ma Onyenwe anyị jụrụ ya sị, “Gịnị mere i ji ewe iwe? Gịnị mere ihu gị ji gbarụọ?
7 Sɛ woyɛ ade pa a, anka wɔrennye wo nto mu ana? Sɛ wonyɛ ade pa de a, bɔne gyina wo pon ano, ɛrehwehwɛ wo ako atia wo, nanso ɛsɛ sɛ wudi no so.”
Ọ bụrụ na i mee ihe ziri ezi, agaghị anabata gị? Ọ bụrụkwanụ na ị jụ ime ihe ziri ezi, mmehie nọ nʼọnụ ụzọ na-eche gị ịla gị nʼiyi. Lezie anya hụ na i meriri ya.”
8 Da bi Kain ka kyerɛɛ ne nua Habel se, “Ma yɛnkɔ afum.” Bere a wɔwɔ afum hɔ no, Kain tow hyɛɛ ne nua Habel so, kum no.
Ken gwara nwanne ya Ebel sị, “Bịa soro m ka anyị banye ọhịa.” Mgbe ha nọ nʼebe ahụ, Ken jidere nwanne ya gbuo ya.
9 Awurade bisaa Kain se, “Wo nua Habel wɔ he?” Kain buae se, “Minnim. Mɛyɛ dɛn ahu? Me na mehwɛ me nua so ana?”
Emesịa, Onyenwe anyị jụrụ Ken ajụjụ sị, “Ebee ka Ebel nwanne gị nwoke nọ?” Ọ zaghachiri, “Amaghị m. Abụ m onye nche nwanne m?”
10 Awurade bisaa Kain se, “Dɛn na woayɛ yi? Tie! Wo nua mogya su fi asase so frɛ me.
Ma Onyenwe anyị zara sị ya, “Gịnị ka i mere? Gee ntị, ọbara nwanne gị na-akpọku m site nʼala.
11 Mprempren, wɔadome wo, apam wo afi asase a ebuee nʼano gyee wo nua mogya fii wo nsam no so.
Site ugbu a gaa nʼihu ị bụrụla onye a bụrụ ọnụ, na onye e si nʼala chụpụ, ala ahụ meghepụrụ ọnụ ya nabata ọbara nwanne gị, site nʼaka gị.
12 Sɛ woyɛ asase no so adwuma sɛ dɛn ara a, worennya nnɔbae biara mfi so. Wobɛyɛ ɔkobɔfo, akyinkyin asase so.”
Mgbe ị kụrụ ihe ọbụla nʼime ya, ala agaghị enye gị mkpụrụ ya nʼuju. Site ugbu a gaa nʼihu, ị ga-abụ onye na-awagharị awagharị na onye na-abaghị nʼihe nʼụwa.”
13 Kain kae se, “Awurade mʼasotwe boro me so.
Ken zara Onyenwe anyị, “Ntaramahụhụ i nyere m dị ukwuu karịa nke m nwere ike ibu.
14 Nnɛ, woapam me afi asase so ne wʼanim. Mɛyɛ ɔkobɔfo akyinkyin asase so na obiara a obenya me no bekum me.”
Ugbu a, abụ m onye i si nʼala ubi ya chụpụ. Abụkwa m onye i si nʼihu gị chụpụ. Bido taa aga m abụ onye na-awagharị awagharị nʼime ụwa. Onye ọbụla hụkwara m ga-egbu m.”
15 Nanso Awurade ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Ɛnte saa koraa! Obiara a obekum Kain no benya Kain asotwe no mpɛn ason.” Afei, Awurade hyɛɛ Kain agyirae bi sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a, obiara a obehyia no no renkum no.
Onyenwe anyị zara sị ya, “O nweghị onye ga-egbu gị, nʼihi na aga m atụkwasịrị onye ọbụla metụrụ gị aka ntaramahụhụ okpukpu asaa karịa nke m nyere gị.” Ya mere, Onyenwe anyị kara Ken akara iji gbochie onye ọbụla hụrụ ya igbu ya.
16 Enti Kain guan fii Awurade anim, kɔtenaa Nod asase so wɔ Eden apuei fam.
Ken sitere nʼihu Onyenwe anyị pụọ gaa biri nʼala Nọd, obodo dị nʼakụkụ ọwụwa anyanwụ Iden.
17 Kain de ne ho kaa ne yere na onyinsɛn, woo ɔbabarima, too no din Henok. Saa bere no, Kain kyekyeree kurow bi de too ne ba Henok.
Ken na nwunye ya dinakọrọ, nwunye ya tụụrụ ime mụta nwa nwoke aha ya bụ Enọk. Nʼoge a, Ken nọ na-ewu otu obodo ọ gụrụ Enọk, nke bụ aha nwa ya nwoke.
18 Henok woo Irad. Irad woo Mehuyael. Mehuyael woo Metusael. Metusael woo Lamek.
Enọk bụ nna Irad, Irad bụ nna Mehujael, Mehujael bụ nna Metusael, Metusael abụrụ nna Lamek.
19 Lamek waree mmea baanu a wɔn din de Ada ne Sila.
Lamek lụrụ ụmụ nwanyị abụọ. Aha nwunye ya nke mbụ bụ Ada. Aha nke ọzọ bụ Zila.
20 Ada woo Yabal a nʼasefo yɛ wɔn a wɔte ntamadan mu yɛn mmoa.
Ada mụtara Jabal, onye bụ nna ndị na-azụ anụ ụlọ, na ndị na-ebi nʼụlọ ikwu.
21 Na Yabal nuabarima din de Yubal a nʼasefo yɛ mmɛnhyɛnfo ne sankubɔfo.
Aha nwanne ya nwoke bụ Jubal, onye mbụ bụ nna ndị na-akpọ ụbọ akwara, na ndị na-afụ opi.
22 Sila woo ɔbabarima a wɔfrɛ no Tubal-Kain. Na ɔyɛ kɔbere atomfo ne nnade ahorow nyinaa atomfo agya. Na Tubal-Kain wɔ nuabea bi a ne din de Naama.
Zila, mụtara otu nwa nwoke aha ya bụ Tubal Ken, onye bụ nna ndị niile na-akpụ ihe dị iche iche e ji bronz maọbụ igwe kpụọ. Aha nwanne nwanyị Tubal Ken bụ Naama.
23 Da bi, Lamek ka kyerɛɛ ne yerenom Ada ne Sila se, “Muntie me, me yerenom makum aberante bi a, ɔtow hyɛɛ me so, piraa me.
Lamek kpọrọ ndị nwunye ya sị ha, “Geenụ m ntị, Ada na Zila, unu ndị nwunye Lamek, nụrụ okwu sị m nʼọnụ. Egbuola m otu nwoke nʼihi na ọ merụrụ m ahụ, otu nwokorobịa nʼihi na ọ mehịara m ahụ.
24 Sɛ Kain so aweretɔ bɛyɛ mpɛn ason a, ɛno de, me Lamek de, nea obekum me no, nʼasotwe bɛyɛ mpɛn aduɔson ason.”
Ọ bụrụ na a ga-abọtara Ken ọbọ ugboro asaa, mgbe ahụ, a ga-abọtara Lamek ọbọ iri ugboro asaa na asaa.”
25 Akyiri no, Adam de ne ho kaa ne yere Hawa. Na ɔwoo ɔbabarima bio. Na wɔtoo no din Set kae se, “Onyankopɔn ama me ɔba foforo asi Habel a Kain kum no no anan mu.”
Adam na Iiv dinakọrọ ọzọ, Iiv tụụrụ ime mụta nwa nwoke ọ gụrụ Set. Nʼihi na Iiv kwuru sị, “Chineke enyela m nwa nwoke ọzọ nʼọnọdụ Ebel onye Ken gburu.”
26 Set nso woo ɔbabarima na ɔtoo no din Enos. Saa bere no mu na nnipa fitii ase bɔɔ Awurade din.
Set mụtara nwa nwoke gụọ ya Enọsh. Nʼoge ahụ ka ụmụ mmadụ bidoro ịkpọku aha Onyenwe anyị.
