And Man knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bore Cain, and said, I have acquired a man with Jehovah.
2 Te phoeiah Kain kah a mana Abel te pahoi a cun. Te vaengah Abel tah boiva aka dawn la om tih Kain tah lo tawn la om.
And she further bore his brother Abel. And Abel was a shepherd, but Cain was a husbandman.
3 A bawtnah khohnin ah BOEIPA taengah khosaa la diklai kah a thaih te Kain loh a khuen.
And in process of time it came to pass that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering to Jehovah.
4 Tedae Abel long tah amah kah boiva cacuek neh aka tha te a Khuen van. Te dongah BOEIPA loh Abel so neh anih kah khosaa te a uem pah.
And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock, and of their fat. And Jehovah looked upon Abel, and on his offering;
5 Tedae Kain neh anih kah khosaa te a uem pah pawt dongah Kain te mat sai tih a maelhmai khaw tal.
and upon Cain, and on his offering, he did not look. And Cain was very angry, and his countenance fell.
6 Te dongah BOEIPA loh Kain taengah “Nang te balae tih na sai? Te phoeiah balae tih na maelhmai a tal?
And Jehovah said to Cain, Why art thou angry, and why is thy countenance fallen?
7 Doe hamla a then mai moenih a? Na then pawt dongah ni thohka ah tholhnah a kol mai. Tedae a lungdueknah te nang ham om mai cakhaw namah loh a soah taemrhai saw,” a ti nah.
If thou doest well, will not [thy countenance] look up [with confidence]? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door; and unto thee [shall be] his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.
8 Tedae Kain loh a mana Abel te kohong la a khue tih a om rhoi vaengah Kain loh a mana Abel te a hnueih tih a ngawn.
And Cain spoke to 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 Te dongah BOEIPA loh Kain taengah, “Na mana Abel ta?” a ti nah hatah Kain loh, “Ka ming pawh. Kai loh ka mana ka dawn a?” a ti nah.
And Jehovah said to Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: am I my brother's keeper?
10 Te vaengah BOEIPA loh, “Balae na saii? na mana thii ol loh diklai lamkah kai taengla ha pang coeng.
And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood is crying to me from the ground.
11 Te dongah nang kut lamkah na manuca kah thii aka duen ham a ka aka ang diklai lamloh nang tah thae m'phoei thil coeng.
And now be thou cursed from the ground, which hath opened its mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand.
12 Khohmuen te na tawn vaengah nang taengah a thadueng paek ham koei mahpawh. Diklai ah aka hinghuen tih aka rhaehba la na om ni,” a ti nah.
When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield thee its strength; a wanderer and fugitive shalt thou be on the earth.
13 Tedae Kain loh BOEIPA taengah, “Kai kathaesainah te phueih ham lakah len aih.
And Cain said to Jehovah, My punishment is too great to be borne.
14 Tihnin ah kai he diklai hman neh namah hmuh lamkah nan haek dongah ka thuh uh ni. Tedae aka poeng aka doe ka om phoeiah diklai ah ka pamdah cakhaw kai aka hmu boeih loh kai n'ngawn pawn ni he,” a ti nah.
Behold, thou hast driven me this day from the face of the ground, and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a wanderer and fugitive on the earth; and it will come to pass, [that] every one who finds me will slay me.
15 Tedae BOEIPA loh anih taengah, “Kain aka ngawn boeih te tah voei rhih due phulo saeh,” a ti nah. Te dongah anih aka hmu boeih loh anih te ngawn pawt ham Kain soah BOEIPA loh miknoek a paek.
And Jehovah said to him, Therefore, whoever slayeth Cain, it shall be revenged sevenfold. And Jehovah set a mark on Cain, lest any finding him should smite him.
16 Te dongah Kain tah BOEIPA mikhmuh lamkah cet tih Eden kah khothoeng ben Nodi khohmuen ah kho a sak.
And Cain went out from the presence of Jehovah, and dwelt in the land of Nod, toward the east of Eden.
17 Te vaengah Kain loh a yuu te a ming. Te dongah pumrhih tih Enok te a cun. Te vaengkah khopuei a thoong tih khopuei ming te a capa ming Enok kho la a khue.
And Cain knew his wife, and she conceived and bore Enoch. And he built a city; and he called the name of the city after the name of his son Enoch.
18 Te phoeiah Enok loh Irad a sak tih Irad loh Mahujael a sak. Mahujael loh Methusael te a sak. Methusael loh Lamek te a sak.
And to Enoch was born Irad; and Irad begot Mehujael; and Mehujael begot Methushael; and Methushael begot Lemech.
19 Te phoeiah Lamek loh amah ham yuu panit a loh tih pakhat kah a ming tah Adah tih a pabae kah a ming tah Zillah ni.
And Lemech took two wives: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the second, Zillah.
20 Te vaengah Adah loh Jabal te a cun tih anih te dap ah kho aka sa tih boiva aka toi rhoek kah pa la om.
And Adah bore Jabal: he was the father of those who dwell in tents, and [breed] cattle.

And his brother's name was Jubal: he was the father of those who handle the harp and pipe.
22 Zillah long khaw rhohum neh thi tubael boeih aka hnaa Tubalkain neh Tubalkain kah a ngannu Naamah te khaw a cun.
And Zillah, she also bore Tubal-Cain, the forger of every kind of tool of brass and iron. And the sister of Tubal-Cain was Naamah.
23 Te vaengah Lamek loh a yuu rhoi Adah neh Zillah taengah, “Lamek yuu rhoi, kai ol he ya rhoi lamtah kai kah olthui he hnakaeng rhoi lah. Kai tloh kong neh ka boengha kongah camoe, hlang pakhat ka ngawn coeng.
And Lemech said to his wives: Adah and Zillah, hear my voice, Ye wives of Lemech, listen to my speech. For I have slain a man for my wound, and a youth for my bruise.
24 Kain ham voei rhih la phu a loh atah Lamek ham khaw voei sawmrhih neh parhih la phuloh pah saeh,” a ti nah.
If Cain shall be avenged seven-fold; Lemech seventy and seven fold.
25 Te phoeiah Adam loh a yuu te koep a ming tih, capa a cun hatah Abel te Kain loh a ngawn coeng dae a yueng la Pathen loh tiingan a tloe kai ham a khueh coeng' a ti dongah anih ming te Seth la a khue.
And Adam knew his wife again, and she bore a son, and called his name Seth: ...For God has appointed me another seed instead of Abel, because Cain has slain him.
26 Te phoeiah Seth long khaw capa a sak tih a ming te Enosh a sui. Te vaengah Yahweh ming te phoei ham a tong.
And to Seth, to him also was born a son; and he called his name Enosh. Then people began to call on the name of Jehovah.
