The man knew Eve [Life] his wife. She conceived, and gave birth to Cain [Acquisition], and said, “I have gotten a man with Adonai’s help.”
2 Phat chomkhat jou chun Eve chun chapa Abel ahing kit tai, hichun khonung in chapang teni chu ahung khanglen lhon tan, Abel chu kelngoi ching in ahung pang in, Cain vang chu loubol mi ahung hi tan ahi.
Again she gave birth, to Cain [Acquisition]’s brother Abel [Vanity, Mourning]. Abel [Vanity, Mourning] was a keeper of sheep, but Cain [Acquisition] was a tiller of the ground.
3 Phat phabep jouvin Cain in alousohga alhun phat in alousohga phabep ahin pon Pathen ading in kilhaina ahung sem tai.
As time passed, Cain [Acquisition] brought an offering to Adonai from the fruit of the ground.
4 Hitobang ma chun Abel in jong akelngoi lah'a apeng masa athao pen tah khat chu Pathen ading in ahin pedoh tai, Hichun Pathen in Abel lam joh aven athilto jong kipahtah in asanpeh tai.
Abel [Vanity, Mourning] also brought some of the firstborn of his flock and of its fat. Adonai respected Abel [Vanity, Mourning] and his offering,
5 Hinlah Pathen in Cain thilto maicham chu asanpeh tapoi, hijeh chun Cain chu hatah in alunghang in akaiku jeng in ahi.
but he didn’t respect Cain [Acquisition] and his offering. Cain [Acquisition] was very angry, and the expression on his face fell.
6 Hihe phat chun Pathen in Cain jah a, “Ibola nangle nang kilunghan nahi ham? chule ibola namai thim jeng a ham?
Adonai said to Cain [Acquisition], “Why are you angry? Why has the expression of your face fallen?
7 Thilpha bol dinga kilomho chu nabol le na kisan pehda ding ham? Ahin thilpha boldinga kilomho chu na bolnom loule kichih theiyin chonsetnan naval lhum ding ahitai. Hiche hohi na chinpha ding joh ahi,” ati.
If you do well, won’t it be lifted up? If you don’t do well, sin crouches at the door. Its desire is for you, but you are to rule over it.”
8 Nikhat chu Cain in asopipa Abel jah'a “Eini thinglhang lam'a che hite atin, gamlang agei lhon phat in Cain chu asopipa Abel chunga achun athat tai.”
Cain [Acquisition] said to Abel [Vanity, Mourning], his brother, “Let’s go into the field.” While they were in the field, Cain [Acquisition] rose up against Abel [Vanity, Mourning], his brother, and murdered him.
9 Phat chomkhat jouvin, Pakai Pathen in Cain jah a, “Nasopipa Abel hoiya um hitam?” atile Cain'in jong adonbut in, “Kahe poi, Keima hi ka sopi pa Abel ching tup ka him?” ati.
Adonai said to Cain [Acquisition], “Where is Abel [Vanity, Mourning], your brother?” He said, “I don’t know. Am I my brother’s keeper?”
10 Hichun Pathen in jong Cain jah'a “Ipi nabol hitam? Na sopi pa Abel thisan chu tol'a kon'in keima angsung gei in ahung peng in ahi.
Adonai said, “What have you done? The voice of your brother’s blood cries to me from the ground.
11 Hijeh chun tua patna nangma hi leiset chunga sapset na noija uma na hitai, na sopi pa Abel thisan in na chup ahitai.
Now you are cursed because of the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand.
12 Leiset a kona nangma dinga ga imacha pung ding ahi tapoi, itobang in natong jong leh chun nangman leiseta in mun neilou gamvah mangpa na kiti ding ahi.”
From now on, when you till the ground, it won’t yield its strength to you. You will be a fugitive and a wanderer in the earth.”
13 Chuphat in Cain chun Pathen henga aseiye, “Keima gotna kachan hi kei thoh jou hoi ahi poi.
Cain [Acquisition] said to Adonai, “My punishment is greater than I can bear.
14 Vetan tunin nangma akon in neidel mangtai, nang in leichunga umna neilou neihi sahtai, tua pat'a hi koihijongle eitoh khapen pen chun eitha ding ahi tai.”
Behold, you have divorced and driven me out today from the surface of the ground. I will be hidden from your face, and I will be a fugitive and a wanderer in the earth. Whoever finds me will kill me.”
15 Pathen in adonbut in, “Ahipoi koi tobang nangma hinkho sumang dinga kigo a aumle keiman ama chunga sagi vei ka phulah ding ahi.” Hichea chun Pathen in Cain chu koiman atha louna ding in Cain chunga melchihna khat akoipeh in ahi.
Adonai said to him, “Therefore whoever slays Cain [Acquisition], vengeance will be taken on him sevenfold.” Adonai appointed a sign for Cain [Acquisition], so that anyone finding him would not strike him.
16 Hichea kon chun Cain in Pathen kom adalhan Eden niso lam a Nod muna chun acheng tai.
Cain [Acquisition] left Adonai’s presence, and lived in the land of Nod, east of Eden [Delight].
17 Cain chun ajinu aki timatpin ahile nao ahin vop kit tan hiche nao chu Enoch ahi. Chuin Cain in phat phabep jouvin khopi khat ahinsem dohin, achapa min aput sah in hiche khopi min chu Enoch asah tai.
Cain [Acquisition] knew his wife. She conceived, and gave birth to Enoch. He built a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch.
18 Enoch in chapa Irad ahing in, Irad chun Mehujael ahing in, Mehujael chun Methushael ahing in, Methushael chun Lamech ahing'e.
To Enoch was born Irad. Irad became the father of Mehujael. Mehujael became the father of Methushael. Methushael became the father of Lamech.
19 Lamech chun ji numei ni anei jin amasa nu chu ahile Adah ahin chule anina nu chu Zillah ahiye.
Lamech took two wives: the name of the first one was Adah, and the name of the second one was Zillah.
20 Adah in Jabal ahing in, amahi ahiye, khoilupon in a chenga gancha chingho ding'a apau chu.
Adah gave birth to Jabal, who was the father of those who dwell in tents and have livestock.
21 Chule asopi pa min chu Jubal ahin, ama chu lathem gosem mut them masa pen ahiye.
His brother’s name was Jubal, who was the father of all who handle the harp and pipe.
22 Zillah jong chun Tubal-cain ahing in, ama chun manchah ding abonchan sum-eng jong thih jong ahin kheng'e. Chule Tubal-cain chun sopi numei khat anei jin amin Naamah ahi.
Zillah also gave birth to Tubal Cain [Acquisition], the forger of every cutting instrument of bronze and iron. Tubal Cain [Acquisition]’s sister was Naamah.
23 Chujou vin nikhat chu Lamech chun ajite ni jaha hitin a seiye, “Vo Adah le Zillah ka aw kasei ngai lhon in, ‘Ajeh chu pasal khat in eimavo jeh in ka that'in golhang khat'in eiden jeh-in ka that tai.
Lamech said to his wives, “Adah and Zillah, sh'ma ·hear obey· my voice. You wives of Lamech, listen to my speech, for I have slain a man for wounding me, a young man for bruising me.
24 Koi tabang mikhat in Cain chu atha le sagi vei gotna chang ding ahile keima hinkho lading koi tobang aumle som sagi vei gotna chang ding joh ahiye.”
If Cain [Acquisition] will be avenged seven times, truly Lamech seventy-seven times.”
25 Chuin Adam chun ajinu akitimat pikit in ahile amanun chapa khat ahing kit in, amin Seth asah tai; ijeh inem itile amanun hitin aseiye, “Pathen in chapa eipeh kit hi Abel khel a ei kipe ah ahi, ajeh chu Cain thapa khel ding in eipe tai,” ati.
Adam [Human, Red earth] knew his wife again. She gave birth to a son, and named him Seth [Appointed], saying, “for God has given me another child instead of Abel [Vanity, Mourning], for Cain [Acquisition] killed him.”
26 Seth chu mipi lhing ahung hiphat in chapa khat aneiyin amin Enosh asah-e. Hiche apat chun mipi hon Pathen chu amin pan in ahou pan tauvin ahi.
A son was also born to Seth [Appointed], and he named him Enosh. At that time men began to call on Adonai’s name.
