Genesis 4 (MSY2020)

1Ezɨ Adam uan amuim Iv ko akuizɨma, amizim navim asangi. Egha amizim otarir mam bategha ghaze, “Ikiavɨra Itir God nan akurazɨma, kɨ otarir kam ini.” Kamaghɨn an otarir kam ziam, “Kein,” a gatɨ.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.

2Egha gɨn a Keinɨn dozim Abel bate. Ezɨ aning ekevegha Abel sipsipbar garir gumazim, ezɨ Kein azenibar ingarir gumazim.Later she gave birth to Cain’s brother Abel. Now Abel was a keeper of sheep, while Cain was a tiller of the soil.

3Egha gɨn Kein uan azenimɨn dagheba asigha, maba inigha Ikiavɨra Itir Godɨn ofa damuasa zui.So in the course of time, Cain brought some of the fruit of the soil as an offering to the LORD,

4Ezɨ Abel sipsipɨn nguzir mɨkarzim sara itir aghuir mam ini. Sipsipɨn nguzir kam, kar amebam faraghavɨrama otezir sipsipɨn nguzim. Ezɨ Abel a mɨsuegha Ikiavɨra Itir Godɨn ofa gami. Ezɨ Ikiavɨra Itir God Abel ko an ofa bagha bar ifonge,while Abel brought the best portions of the firstborn of his flock. And the LORD looked with favor on Abel and his offering,

5egha Kein ko an ofa gifongezir puvatɨ. Ezɨ Kein puv atarava an guam ikuvigha igharagha gari.but He had no regard for Cain and his offering. So Cain became very angry, and his countenance fell.

6Ezɨ Ikiavɨra Itir God kamagh Kein mɨgei, “Nɨ tizim bagha atari? Egha manmaghsua nɨ puv atarava guam ikuvigha igharagha gari?“Why are you angry,” said the LORD to Cain, “and why has your countenance fallen?

7Nɨ arazir aghuim damightɨ, kɨ nɨn ofa gifongeghtɨ, nɨ bar akuegham. Egh nɨ arazir kuram damightɨ, arazir kuram nɨ gasɨghasɨghasa, nɨ mɨzuai. Egha arazir kuram nɨ abɨnasa bar ifonge. Kamaghɨra nɨ uaghan gavgavigh anebɨn.”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.”

8Egha gɨn Kein uan dozim Abel mɨkemezɨma, an a ko aning tuzim itir danganimɨn zui. Egha aning ghua tuzim itir danganimɨn ikiava, Kein uan dozim mɨsoghezɨma, an areme.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.

9Ezɨ gɨn Ikiavɨra Itir God kamaghɨn Keinɨn azara, “Nɨn dozim Abel mana?” Ezɨ Kein ghaze, “Kɨ fozir puvatɨ. Kɨ uan dozim geghuva an garir gumazim puvatɨ.”And the LORD said to Cain, “Where is your brother Abel?” “I do not know!” he answered. “Am I my brother’s keeper?”

10Ezɨ Ikiavɨra Itir God kamaghɨn Kein mɨgei, “Manmaghɨn amizɨ nɨ arazir kurar kam gami? Nɨn dozimɨn ghuzim nguazim giregha gɨfa, ezɨ kɨ ghuzir kamɨn ararem barazi, a uan osɨmtɨzim ikarvaghasava nan arai.“What have you done?” replied the LORD. “The voice of your brother’s blood cries out to Me from the ground.

11Ezɨ kɨ datɨrɨghɨn nɨ abɨnamin akar gavgavir mam kamaghɨn nɨn iti. Nɨ uan dozim mɨsoghezɨ, an areme. Ezɨ arazir kamɨn nɨ nguazim gamizɨma, an an ghuzim ame. Kamaghɨn kɨ datɨrɨghɨn nguazim nɨn anogoroke eghtɨ nɨ uam azenibar ingaran koghtɨ, dagheba nɨ bagh an otivan kogham.Now you are cursed and banished from the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand.

12Egh nɨ otuegh azenibar ingarvɨra ikɨtɨ, nguazim uan ovimɨn suiraghtɨ nɨn dagheba deragh aghungan kogham. Egh nɨ uabɨ, nguibaba nɨn puvatɨghtɨma, nɨ gumazir guraghav itimɨn mɨn pura ituramɨ nguazir kamɨn danganiba bar dar aruam.”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.”

13Ezɨ Kein mɨgɨrɨgɨar kam baregha kamagh Ikiavɨra Itir God mɨgei, “Osɨmtɨzir nɨ na ganɨdir kam a bar ekefe, kɨ manmaghɨn aneteram?But Cain said to the LORD, “My punishment is greater than I can bear.

14Nɨ na mɨgɨa ghaze, kɨ bar azenitamɨn ingaran kogh, egh nɨn guamɨn bar saghon ikiam. Egh gumazir guraghav itimɨn mɨn nguazir kamɨn danganiba bar dar aruam. Kamaghɨn kɨ atiati, tarazi ua na batogh na mɨsueghtɨ, kɨ aremegham.”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.”

15Ezɨ Ikiavɨra Itir God kamaghɨn Kein mɨgei, “Bizitam kamaghɨn otoghan kogham. Gumazitam nɨ mɨsueghtɨ na aremeghtɨ, kɨ 7plan gumazibar nɨn ovevem ikaragham.” Egha Ikiavɨra Itir God ababanir mam Kein gatɨ, eghtɨ gumazitam a batogh ababanir kamɨn apigh, a mɨsueghtɨ an oveghan kogham.“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.

16Ezɨ Kein Ikiavɨra Itir God ategha, ghua nguazir otevir me kamagh dɨborim, “Aruavɨra Iti,” an an iti. Nguazir kam Idenɨn Azenimɨn aruem anadi naghɨn iti.So Cain went out from the presence of the LORD and settled in the land of Nod, east of Eden.

17Ezɨ Kein uan amuim ko akuizɨ, amizim navim asegha borir mam bate, an ziam Enok. Egha gɨn Kein nguibar ekiar mamɨn ingarigha, uan borimɨn ziam Enok isa nguibar ekiar kam gatɨ.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.

18Egha gɨn Enok otarir mam iti, an ziam Irat. Ezɨ Irat otarir mam iti, an ziam Mehujael. Ezɨ Mehujael otarir mam iti, an ziam Metusael. Ezɨ Metusael otarir mam iti, an ziam Lamek.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.

19Ezɨ Lamek amuir pumuningɨn iti. Mavɨn ziam Ada, ezɨ mavɨn ziam Sila.And Lamech married two women, one named Adah and the other Zillah.

20Ezɨ Ada Jabal bate, ezɨ Jabal a gumazir purirpenibar ikia bulmakaubar garir gumazibar ovavim.Adah gave birth to Jabal; he was the father of those who dwell in tents and raise livestock.

21Ezɨ Jabal dozir mam iti, an ziam Jubal. Jubal, a gitabav sogha marvibagh ivir gumazibar ovavim.And his brother’s name was Jubal; he was the father of all who play the harp and flute.

22Ezɨ gɨn Sila Tubalkein bate. Ezɨ Tubalkein bras ko ainɨn bizir guar avɨribar ingarir gumazim. Ezɨ Tubalkein buaramizir mam iti, an ziam Nama.And Zillah gave birth to Tubal-cain, a forger of every implement of bronze and iron. And the sister of Tubal-cain was Naamah.

23Egha dughiar mam Lamek kamaghɨn uan amuimning mɨgei: “Ada ko Sila, gua nan akam baragh. Kɨ Lamek, gua nan amuimning, gua deravɨra nan akam baragh. Gumazir mam na mɨsozima, kɨ a mɨsoghezɨma an areme. Ezɨ gumazir igiar mam na guam apezezɨ, kɨ a mɨsoghezɨma an areme.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.

24Gumazitam Kein mɨsueghtɨ an aremegham, God 7plan gumaziba an ovevem ikarvagh me mɨsueghtɨ me arɨmɨghiregham. Eghtɨ gumazitam na mɨsueghtɨ kɨ aremeghtɨ, 77plan gumaziba ovegh na ikaragham.”If Cain is avenged sevenfold, then Lamech seventy-sevenfold.”

25Egha Adam uan amuim uam a koma akuizɨ, an otarim bate. Ezɨ amizim ghaze, “Kein Abel mɨsoghezɨ an areme. Kamaghɨn God Abelɨn danganim iniasa borir igharazim na ganɨngi.” Kamaghɨn a borir kam ziam, “Set,” a gatɨ.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.”

26Ezɨ gɨn Set otarir mam ikia, ziam, “Enos,” a gatɨ. Dughiar kamra gumazamiziba Ikiavɨra Itir Godɨn ziam dɨbora, egha an ziam fa ghuavɨra iti.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.
