< Genesis 4 >
1 Adamu sì bá aya rẹ̀ Efa lòpọ̀, ó sì lóyún, ó sì bí Kaini. Ó wí pé, “Pẹ̀lú ìrànlọ́wọ́ Olúwa ni mo bí ọmọ ọkùnrin.”
And Adam had sexual contact with Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have got a man from the LORD.
2 Lẹ́yìn náà, ó sì bí ọmọkùnrin mìíràn tí a pè ní Abeli. Abeli jẹ́ darandaran, Kaini sì jẹ́ àgbẹ̀.
And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.
3 Ó sì ṣe lẹ́yìn ìgbà díẹ̀, Kaini mú ọrẹ wá fún Olúwa nínú èso ilẹ̀ rẹ̀.
And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD.
4 Ṣùgbọ́n Abeli mú ẹran tí ó sanra wá fún Olúwa nínú àkọ́bí ẹran ọ̀sìn rẹ̀. Olúwa sì fi ojúrere wo Abeli àti ọrẹ rẹ̀,
And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering:
5 ṣùgbọ́n Olúwa kò fi ojúrere wo Kaini àti ẹbọ rẹ̀. Nítorí náà inú bí Kaini gidigidi, ojú rẹ̀ sì fàro.
But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very angry, and his countenance fell.
6 Nígbà náà ni Olúwa bi Kaini pé, “Èéṣe tí ìwọ ń bínú? Èéṣe tí ojú rẹ sì fàro?
And the LORD said unto Cain, Why are you angry? and why is your countenance fallen?
7 Bí ìwọ bá ṣe ohun tí ó tọ́, ṣé ìwọ kò ní jẹ́ ìtẹ́wọ́gbà? Ṣùgbọ́n bí ìwọ kò bá ṣe ohun tí ó tọ́, ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ ń bẹ ní ẹnu-ọ̀nà rẹ, ó fẹ́ ní ọ ní ìní, ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ gbọdọ̀ ṣe àkóso rẹ̀.”
If you do well, shall you not be accepted? and if you do not well, sin lies at the door. And unto you shall be his desire, and you shall rule over him.
8 Kaini wí fún Abeli arákùnrin rẹ̀ pé, “Jẹ́ kí a lọ sí oko.” Ó sì ṣe, bí wọ́n ti wà ní oko; Kaini da ojú ìjà kọ Abeli arákùnrin rẹ̀, ó sì pa á.
And Cain talked with 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 Nígbà náà ni Olúwa béèrè lọ́wọ́ Kaini pé, “Níbo ni Abeli arákùnrin rẹ wà?” Ó sì dáhùn pé, “Èmi kò mọ ibi tí ó wà, èmí ha ń ṣe olùṣọ́ arákùnrin mi bí?”
And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel your brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother's keeper?
10 Olúwa wí pé, “Kín ni ohun tí ìwọ ṣe yìí? Gbọ́! Ẹ̀jẹ̀ arákùnrin rẹ ń kígbe pè mí láti ilẹ̀ wá.
And he said, What have you done? the voice of your brother's blood cries unto me from the ground.
11 Láti ìsinsin yìí lọ, ìwọ ti wà lábẹ́ ègún, a sì ti lé ọ lórí ilẹ̀ tí ó ya ẹnu gba ẹ̀jẹ̀ arákùnrin rẹ lọ́wọ́ rẹ.
And now are you cursed from the earth, which has opened her mouth to receive your brother's blood from your hand;
12 Bí ìwọ bá ro ilẹ̀, ilẹ̀ kì yóò fi agbára rẹ̀ so èso rẹ̀ fún ọ mọ́. Ìwọ yóò sì jẹ́ ìsáǹsá àti alárìnkiri ni orí ilẹ̀ ayé.”
When you till the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto you her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shall you be in the earth.
13 Kaini wí fún Olúwa pé, “Ẹrù ìyà ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ mi pọ̀ ju èyí tí mo le rù lọ.
And Cain said unto the LORD, My punishment is greater than I can bear.
14 Lónìí, ìwọ lé mi kúrò lórí ilẹ̀, mó sì di ẹni tí ó fi ara pamọ́ kúrò ní ojú rẹ, èmi yóò sì di ìsáǹsá àti alárìnkiri ní ayé, ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá rí mi, yóò sì pa mí.”
Behold, you have driven me out this day from the face of the earth; and from your face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass, that every one that finds me shall slay me.
15 Ṣùgbọ́n, Olúwa wí fún pé, “Bẹ́ẹ̀ kọ́, bí ẹnikẹ́ni bá pa Kaini, èmi yóò gbẹ̀san ní ara onítọ̀hún ní ìgbà méje.” Nígbà náà ni Ọlọ́run fi àmì sí ara Kaini, kí ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá ri má ba à pa á.
And the LORD said unto him, Therefore whosoever slays Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the LORD set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him.
16 Kaini sì kúrò níwájú Olúwa, ó sì ń gbé ilẹ̀ Nodi ní ìhà ìlà-oòrùn Edeni.
And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.
17 Kaini sì bá aya rẹ̀ lòpọ̀, ó sì lóyún, ó sì bí Enoku. Kaini sì tẹ ìlú kan dó, ó sì fi orúkọ ọmọ rẹ̀ ọkùnrin Enoku sọ ìlú náà.
And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he built a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch.
18 Enoku sì bí Iradi, Iradi sì ni baba Mehujaeli, Mehujaeli sì bí Metuṣaeli, Metuṣaeli sì ni baba Lameki.
And unto Enoch was born Irad: and Irad brings forth Mehujael: and Mehujael brings forth Methusael: and Methusael brings forth Lamech.
19 Lameki sì fẹ́ aya méjì, orúkọ èkínní ni Adah, àti orúkọ èkejì ni Silla.
And Lamech took unto him two wives: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah.
20 Adah sì bí Jabali, òun ni baba irú àwọn tí ń gbé inú àgọ́, tí wọ́n sì ń sin ẹran ọ̀sìn.
And Adah bare Jabal: he was the father of such as dwell in tents, and of such as have cattle.
21 Orúkọ arákùnrin rẹ̀ ni Jubali, òun ni baba irú àwọn tí ń tẹ dùùrù tí wọ́n sì ń fọn fèrè.
And his brother's name was Jubal: he was the father of all such as handle the harp and organ.
22 Silla náà sì bí ọmọkùnrin tí ń jẹ́ Tubali-Kaini, tí ó ń rọ oríṣìíríṣìí ohun èlò láti ara idẹ àti irin. Arábìnrin Tubali-Kaini ni Naama.
And Zillah, she also bare Tubalcain, an instructor of every artificer in brass and iron: and the sister of Tubalcain was Naamah.
23 Lameki wí fún àwọn aya rẹ̀, “Adah àti Silla, ẹ tẹ́tí sí mi; ẹ̀yin aya Lameki, ẹ gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ mi. Mo ti pa ọkùnrin kan tí ó kọlù mí, ọ̀dọ́mọkùnrin tí ó pa mí lára.
And Lamech said unto his wives, Adah and Zillah, Hear my voice; all of you wives of Lamech, hearken unto my speech: for I have slain a man to my wounding, and a young man to my hurt.
24 Bí a ó bá gbẹ̀san Kaini ní ìgbà méje, ǹjẹ́ kí a gba ti Lameki nígbà mẹ́tàdínlọ́gọ́rin.”
If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, truly Lamech seventy and sevenfold.
25 Adamu sì tún bá aya rẹ̀ lòpọ̀, ó sì bí ọmọkùnrin kan tí ó pe orúkọ rẹ̀ ní Seti, tí ó túmọ̀ sí pé, “Ọlọ́run fún mi ní ọmọkùnrin mìíràn ní ipò Abeli tí Kaini pa.”
And Adam had sexual contact with his wife again; and she bare a son, and called his name Seth: For God, said she, has appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew.
26 Seti náà sì bí ọmọkùnrin kan, ó sì pe orúkọ rẹ̀ ní Enoṣi. Láti àkókò náà lọ ni àwọn ènìyàn ti bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí ní ké pe orúkọ Olúwa.
And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enos: then began men to call upon the name of the LORD.
