Genesis 4 (LGA)

1Ego na marene sa kole tavitia si Ivi na maqotana ko sa bogata ko sa vapodoa isa si Keni, poni pira sau sa na maqotana, <<Qa vaporea ara sa kai tinoni pa vaitokai tai Iahova,>> sau.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.

2Pa liguna lao sa vapodoa mule isa si Ebolo na tasina. Ego i Ebolo sa na tinoni kopu gogodo sipi, goto i Keni sa na tinoni umuma pa peso.Later she gave birth to Cain’s brother Abel. Now Abel was a keeper of sheep, while Cain was a tiller of the soil.

3Ego sa jola kai totoso kakasana sa sa pogoso pa vuana na peso si Keni ko na ona vaivana lao tai Iahova sau.So in the course of time, Cain brought some of the fruit of the soil as an offering to the LORD,

4Poni i Ebolo ba sa pogoso tugu pa podo moedi ira nona sipi beto sa pogoso lameniria sa na gogosoto jongaidi nona sipi. Poni i Iahova sa doro tavaraguania si Ebolo beto na ona vaivana,while Abel brought the best portions of the firstborn of his flock. And the LORD looked with favor on Abel and his offering,

5goto i Keni beto na ona vaivana sa sake doro tavaraguaniria. Ko sa iku vuvurungia si Keni ko sa titigore betona na isumatana.but He had no regard for Cain and his offering. So Cain became very angry, and his countenance fell.

6Poni pira saunia i Iahova si Keni, <<Ai sa vei ko sa iku vuvurungigo tu? Ai sa vei ko sa titigore betona tu na isumatamu?“Why are you angry,” said the LORD to Cain, “and why has your countenance fallen?

7Vei muna roitinia ao sa na tuvisi, poni sa muna engamua gu sao? Goto vei munake roitinia ao sa na tuvisi, poni na sela sa sa korapa opo veranigo gu pa atakamana, ko ao sa na ona nyorogua isa ba ao tu sa muna lalaenia isa,>> saunia.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.”

8Ego sa parangia i Keni si Ebolo na tasina ko totonai tu qai korapa pa mumuqu, sa sa turu rajai i Keni si Ebolo na tasina ko sa vaivamate pale.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.

9Beto sa parangia i Iahova si Keni, <<Pai tu i Ebolo na tasimu?>> saunia. Poni pira sau si Keni, <<Koi! Qake gigilai.>> <<Na qua jujuno ara ko mana kole kopunia sa na tasiqu?>> sau.And the LORD said to Cain, “Where is your brother Abel?” “I do not know!” he answered. “Am I my brother’s keeper?”

10Poni pira sau si Iahova, <<Na sa qu roitinia sao? Mu vainongoro ko! Na ovovelena na orunguna na tasimu sa sa kekebo lame taqu koko pa peso.“What have you done?” replied the LORD. “The voice of your brother’s blood cries out to Me from the ground.

11Ko kopira ao sa, sa leve palenigo na peso isa sa mamanga ko sa bukua na orunguna na tasimu pa limamu ao.Now you are cursed and banished from the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand.

12Tonai muna roitia ao sa na peso, sa na peso mina aru mulenia nona neqi ko minake vanigo na vagisona. Muna kai tinoni lekogo lao lame beto muna vidulai lao lame pa peso sao,>> saunia.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.”

13Poni sa paranga lao tai Iahova si Keni, <<Kei! Sa lavata jola vivitiginia na qua ngongo sa na vinakilasa qa gosoria api sa.But Cain said to the LORD, “My punishment is greater than I can bear.

14Pa ngeni api qu iju votu palenisiu pa ia ko kopira mana pae pa isutamamu ao sara. Kopira mana kai tinoni lekogo lao lame beto kai tinoni vidulai lao lame pa peso sara, ko ira na tinoni mai batisiu sa kode mai vai vamate palesiu,>> sau.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.”

15Ba pira saunia i Iahova si Keni, <<Dai! Minake vei isa. Na tinoni mina vai vamatea i Keni sa mina gosoriagana ka vitu vinakilasa,>> sau. Beto sa sa vakolenia kai vinagigila i Iahova si Keni ko ira mai batia sa maike kotia sau.“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.

16Ko sa votu taloa pa susuverena tai Iahova si Keni beto sa lao suvere pa ia pa Nodi, pa kale sagere tapo pa Idini.So Cain went out from the presence of the LORD and settled in the land of Nod, east of Eden.

17Ego i Keni sa kole tavitia sa na maqotana ko sa vabogatia ko sa vapodoa si Inoke. Pana totoso isa sa sa korapa roitinia isa sa kai gugusu ko sa vaisongo tutunia tugu i Inoke na tuna marene sa na gugusu isa.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.

18Ego pa ti Inoke qi pore si Iradi, ko i Iradi qi vaporea si Mehujaeli, i Mehujaeli qi vaporea si Metusaeli, beto i Metusaeli qi vaporea si Lemeki.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.

19Ego i Lemeki sa tekuria sa karu maqota, na isongona kame si Ada beto na isongona na vinaruana si Zila.And Lamech married two women, one named Adah and the other Zillah.

20I Ada sa vapodoa si Jabali; isa na tamadi ira qai susuvere pa aqaqo beto ira qai papausu manugu mamade nenedi.Adah gave birth to Jabal; he was the father of those who dwell in tents and raise livestock.

21Na isongona na tasina marene si Jubali; isa na tamadi ira qai rarusia na mike beto qai ivivu.And his brother’s name was Jubal; he was the father of all who play the harp and flute.

22I Zila ba sa pore tuna marene tugu, na isongona si Tubalikeni, na tinoni sa roroiti votuniria soku gogoto sakasa roroitidi pa aeana beto na boronisi. Na luluna rereko i Tubalikeni si Naama.And Zillah gave birth to Tubal-cain, a forger of every implement of bronze and iron. And the sister of Tubal-cain was Naamah.

23Ego pira sauniria i Lemeki sa karu maqotana, <<Ada beto i Zila, mu nongoria na ovovelequ ara; Agou na maqotana i Lemeki, mu vatalinganiria na parangaqu. Qa vai vamatea ara kai tinoni sara ura sa vapalekasiu, Qa vai vamatea ara kai koburu ura sa kirususiu.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.

24Vei ka vitu vinakilasa mina gosoriagana Sa na tinoni sa vamatea i Keni, Poni sa na tinoni sa vamatea i Lemeki Sa mina gosoriagana ka vitungavulu vitu vinakilasa,>> sauniria.If Cain is avenged sevenfold, then Lamech seventy-sevenfold.”

25Ego i Adama sa kole tavitia mule sa na maqotana ko sa vapodoa sa kai marene ko sa vaisongonia i Seti, <<ura na Tamasa sa vakole vanisiu mule kai koburu na beina i Ebolo, isa sa vai vamatea i Keni,>> sau sa na maqotana.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.”

26I Seti sa vaporea tugu vei sa kai tuna marene, ko qi vaisongonia i Enosi. Ego pa totoso isa sira na tinoni sa qai podalai gigigalia sa na isongona i Iahova.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.
