Genesis 4 (KBQ)

1Adamu'a nenaro Ivi'ene masegeno amu'ene huno ne'mofavre kasenenteno ana a'mo'a huno, Anumzamo naza hige'na ne'mofavre erifore hue, nehuno Keni'e huno agi'a antemi'ne.And Adam had relations with his wife Eve, and she conceived and gave birth to Cain. “With the help of the LORD I have brought forth a man,” she said.

2Hagi henka Ivi'a Keni neganana Abeli kasentegeno ana ne'mo'a ra huno sipisipi afu kegava higeno, Keni'a mopafi eri'za erino hoza anteno kegava hu'ne.Later she gave birth to Cain’s brother Abel. Now Abel was a keeper of sheep, while Cain was a tiller of the soil.

3Magokna Keni'a Ra Anumzamofo ofa hunteku hoza'afinti ne'za erino e'ne.So in the course of time, Cain brought some of the fruit of the soil as an offering to the LORD,

4Ana higeno Abeli'a sipisipi afutamimpinti afovage hu'nea agonesa afu mago aheno eme Kresramana vuntegeno, Ra Anumzamo'a negeno Abelina antahi muse hunte'ne.while Abel brought the best portions of the firstborn of his flock. And the LORD looked with favor on Abel and his offering,

5Hianagi Keni'ma ofa hunte'neaza keteno, Anumzamo'a antahi musena huontegeno, Kenina tusi asi vazigeno avugosa rugriri'ne.but He had no regard for Cain and his offering. So Cain became very angry, and his countenance fell.

6Ana higeno Ra Anumzamo'a negeno Keninkura amanage hu'ne, Nahigenka krimpagna nehunka kavugosa runegaririne?“Why are you angry,” said the LORD to Cain, “and why has your countenance fallen?

7Hagi kagra'ma knare kavu'kava'ma hantesina Nagra muse hugantosine. Hanki kagrama havizama hanankeno'a, kumimo'a kazeri kagateregahianki, kagra hankavetinka mani'nenka kumira azeri agatero.If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you refuse to do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires you, but you must master it.”

8Hagi mago knazupa Keni'a nagana'amofo Abelinku hofa trampi vanu'e huno agi higeke, vukema ana hofa trampi umanineke, Keni'a nagna'amofo Abelina ahe fri'ne.Then Cain said to his brother Abel, “Let us go out to the field.” And while they were in the field, Cain rose up against his brother Abel and killed him.

9Anante Ra Anumzamo'a Kenina antahigeno, Negagna Abeli'a inantega mani'ne? Higeno Keni'a huno, Nagra onke'noanki, Kagrama kagesama antahinana nagra nagananimofo kva hunte ne' mani'nofi?And the LORD said to Cain, “Where is your brother Abel?” “I do not know!” he answered. “Am I my brother’s keeper?”

10Higeno Ra Anumzana Anumzamo'a amanage hu'ne, Kagra na'a higenka kefo kavukvara hu'nane? Nagnakamofo koramo'a mopafi tagiramineno keaga hunto huno Nagritega krafage nehie.“What have you done?” replied the LORD. “The voice of your brother’s blood cries out to Me from the ground.

11Hagi nagna kamofoma ahenka eri taginana koramo'a, mopafi tagiramigeno mopamo ne'negu, ana mopa kazusi huntoankino ne'zana forera osugahie.Now you are cursed and banished from the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand.

12Hagi mopafima hozama erinka antesnana hozamo'a, hikazake huno nena ahenonte'na, nonka'a omanena kanke kanke hunka ama mopafina vano hugahane.When you till the ground, it will no longer yield its produce to you. You will be a fugitive and a wanderer on the earth.”

13Keni'a amanage huno Ra Anumzamofo kenona hu'ne, Nagri'ma hunantana kemo'a tusi'a kna navesie!But Cain said to the LORD, “My punishment is greater than I can bear.

14Hanki kama antahio! Kagra ama mopafinti nagrira meni nazeri atranankina, Kagri kavuga omaninugeno, noni'a omane'nenigena ama mopafina kanke kanke neha'nena, aza'o nagesuno'a nahe frigahie.Behold, this day You have driven me from the face of the earth, and from Your face I will be hidden; I will be a fugitive and a wanderer on the earth, and whoever finds me will kill me.”

15Higeno Ra Anumzamo'a kenona'a huno, Kagri'ma kahesimo'a ana nona'a 7ni'a zupa kna'zana agetereno erigahie, nehuno Kenima vahe'mo'zama negezama ohesnagu mago avame'za agofetu antente'ne.“Not so!” replied the LORD. “If anyone slays Cain, then Cain will be avenged sevenfold.” And the LORD placed a mark on Cain, so that no one who found him would kill him.

16Ana higeno Ra Anumzamofo avugatira Keni'a atreno Ideni hozamofo zage hanati kaziga vuno, Nodi mopare umani'ne.So Cain went out from the presence of the LORD and settled in the land of Nod, east of Eden.

17Keni'a nenaro'ene masegeno amu'ene huno ne'mofavre kasenteno, agi'a Inoku'e huno ante'ne. Hagi anante mago rankuma erifore huno kiteno, ana kumamofo agi'a Inoku'e huno mofavre'amofo agire asamre'ne.And Cain had relations with his wife, and she conceived and gave birth to Enoch. Then Cain built a city and named it after his son Enoch.

18Hagi Inoku'a mago mofavre eri fore huno agi'a Iradi'e hu'ne. Iradi'a Mehusaeli nefa'za higeno, Mehusaeli'a Metusael nefa'za higeno, Metusaeli'a Lemeki nafa'za hu'ne.Now to Enoch was born Irad, and Irad was the father of Mehujael, and Mehujael was the father of Methusael, and Methusael was the father of Lamech.

19Hagi Lemeki'a tare atre zanante'ne, mago'mofo agi'a Ada'e, mago a'mofo agi'a Zila'e.And Lamech married two women, one named Adah and the other Zillah.

20Ada'a ne'mofavre kasenteno agi'a Jabali'e huno ante'neankino, fugagi noma ki'za nemase'za afu'ma kegava nehaza vahe'mokizmi nezamageho'e.Adah gave birth to Jabal; he was the father of those who dwell in tents and raise livestock.

21Hagi ngana'amofo agi'a Jubali'e. Jubali'a ese'ma agafa huno nofite zavena (harp) nehaza naga'mokizmi nezamageho'e.And his brother’s name was Jubal; he was the father of all who play the harp and flute.

22Hanki Zila'a Tubalkein kasente'neankino, agra aenima, kopama tevefi krefizo huteno amasagino eri'zama eri'zantami tro nehia nere. Tubalkeini nesaro agi'a Na'ama'e.And Zillah gave birth to Tubal-cain, a forger of every implement of bronze and iron. And the sister of Tubal-cain was Naamah.

23Mago zupa Lemeki'a nenaro kiznigura amanage huno zanasmi'ne, Adagane Zilagata'a kama antahi'o, mago nehaza ne'mo nahe kuzafa antege'na, agrira ete ahe fri'noe.Then Lamech said to his wives: “Adah and Zillah, hear my voice; wives of Lamech, listen to my speech. For I have slain a man for wounding me, a young man for striking me.

24Hagi mago ne'mo'ma, Kenima eme ahe frisanuno'a, 7ni'a zupa knazana eri agofetu huno erigahie. Hianagi tamage huno nagri'ma Lemeki'nama eme nahesanuno'a, 77ni'a knazana agofetu huno nona'a erigahie.If Cain is avenged sevenfold, then Lamech seventy-sevenfold.”

25Hagi Adamu'a nenaro'ene masegeno ne' mofavre kasenteno amanage hu'ne, Keni'ma Abelima ahe fri'nea nona'a Anumzamo'a ne'mofavrea namiankino agi'a Seti'e.And Adam again had relations with his wife, and she gave birth to a son and named him Seth, saying, “God has granted me another seed in place of Abel, since Cain killed him.”

26Henka'a Setina ne'mofavre fore humigeno agi'a Enosi'e huno antemi'ne. Ana knafi vahe'mo'za erigafa hu'za Ra Anumzamofo agihanta nevazi'za, Agrite mono hunte'naze.And to Seth also a son was born, and he called him Enosh. At that time men began to call upon the name of the LORD.
