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.”
Now Adam had marital relations with his wife Eve, and she conceived, and gave birth to Cain, and said, "I have gotten a man from God."
2 Lẹ́yìn náà, ó sì bí ọmọkùnrin mìíràn tí a pè ní Abeli. Abeli jẹ́ darandaran, Kaini sì jẹ́ àgbẹ̀.
Again she gave birth, to Cain's brother Abel. 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.
As time passed, it happened that Cain brought an offering to God from the fruit of the ground.
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 also brought some of the firstborn of his flock and of its fat. And God looked favorably on Abel and his offering,
5 ṣùgbọ́n Olúwa kò fi ojúrere wo Kaini àti ẹbọ rẹ̀. Nítorí náà inú bí Kaini gidigidi, ojú rẹ̀ sì fàro.
but he did not look favorably on Cain and his offering. Cain was very angry, and the expression on his face fell.
6 Nígbà náà ni Olúwa bi Kaini pé, “Èéṣe tí ìwọ ń bínú? Èéṣe tí ojú rẹ sì fàro?
God said to Cain, "Why are you angry? Why has the expression of your face 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, will it not be lifted up? If you do not do well, sin lies in wait at the door. It desires to control you, but you must rule over it."
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.
Cain said to Abel, his brother, "Let's go into the field." It happened when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel, his brother, and killed 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?”
Then God said to Cain, "Where is Abel, your brother?" He said, "I do not know. 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 God said, "What have you done? The voice of your brother's blood cries out to 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.
Now you are cursed because of the ground, which has opened its 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.”
From now on, when you till the ground, it won't yield its strength to you. You shall be a fugitive and a wanderer in the earth."
13 Kaini wí fún Olúwa pé, “Ẹrù ìyà ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ mi pọ̀ ju èyí tí mo le rù lọ.
Cain said to God, "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.”
Look, you have driven me out this day 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. It will happen that whoever finds me will kill 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 God said to him, "Not so. Whoever kills Cain vengeance will be taken on him sevenfold." And God appointed a sign for Cain, lest any finding him should strike him.
16 Kaini sì kúrò níwájú Olúwa, ó sì ń gbé ilẹ̀ Nodi ní ìhà ìlà-oòrùn Edeni.
So Cain went out from the presence of God and lived in the land of Nod, 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.
Cain had marital relations with his wife, and she conceived and gave birth to Enoch. 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.
To Enoch was born Irad, and Irad became the father of Mehaiiel, and Mehaiiel became the father of Methushael, and Methushael became the father of Lamech.
19 Lameki sì fẹ́ aya méjì, orúkọ èkínní ni Adah, àti orúkọ èkejì ni Silla.
Lamech took 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.
Adah gave birth to Jabal, who was the father of those who dwell in tents and have livestock.
21 Orúkọ arákùnrin rẹ̀ ni Jubali, òun ni baba irú àwọn tí ń tẹ dùùrù tí wọ́n sì ń fọn fèrè.
His brother's name was Jubal, who was the father of all who play the harp and flute.
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.
Zillah also gave birth to Tubal Cain, who heated metal and shaped instruments of bronze and iron. Tubal Cain's sister 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.
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 Bí a ó bá gbẹ̀san Kaini ní ìgbà méje, ǹjẹ́ kí a gba ti Lameki nígbà mẹ́tàdínlọ́gọ́rin.”
If Cain will be avenged seven times, truly Lamech seventy-seven times."
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.”
Adam had marital relations with his wife again, and she gave birth to a son, and named him Seth, saying, "For God has appointed me another child instead of Abel, for Cain killed him."
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 a son was also born to Seth, and he named him Enosh. This one began to call on the name of God.
