Suencuek 4
1 Te phoeiah Adam loh a yuu Eve te a ming. A yuu khaw vawn tih Kain te a cun hatah, “BOEIPA taengkah hlang ka dang coeng,” a ti.
And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bore Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD.
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 again bore his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.
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 the LORD.
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 its fat. And the LORD had respect to Abel and to his offering:
5 Tedae Kain neh anih kah khosaa te a uem pah pawt dongah Kain te mat sai tih a maelhmai khaw tal.
But to Cain and to his offering he had not respect. 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 the LORD 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, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And to 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 talked with 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 the LORD 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 crieth 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 art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her 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 to thee its strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth.
13 Tedae Kain loh BOEIPA taengah, “Kai kathaesainah te phueih ham lakah len aih.
And Cain said to the LORD, My punishment is greater than I can bear.
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 earth; and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass, that any one that findeth me shall 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 the LORD said to him, Therefore whoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the LORD set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill 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 the LORD, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on 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 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 begat Mehujael: and Mehujael begat Methusael: and Methusael begat Lamech.
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 Lamech took to him two wives: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other 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 such as dwell in tents, and of such as have cattle.
21 Tedae a mana, a ming tah Jubal tih anih te rhotoeng neh phavi aka tum boeih kah a napa la om.
And his brother’s name was Jubal: he was the father of all such as handle the harp and flute.
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 Tubalcain, an instructor of every craftsman in brass and iron: and the sister of Tubalcain 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 Lamech said to his wives, Adah and Zillah, Hear my voice; ye wives of Lamech, hearken to my speech: for I have slain a man who wounded me, and a young man for hurting me.
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 sevenfold, truly Lamech seventy and sevenfold.
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, said she, hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew.
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 there was born a son; and he called his name Enos: then began men to call upon the name of the LORD.
