Genesis 4
1 And the man had connection with Eve his wife, and she became with child and gave birth to Cain, and said, I have got a man from the Lord.
Adamu akakutana kimwili na mkewe Eva, naye akapata mimba, akamzaa Kaini. Eva akasema, “Kwa msaada wa Bwana nimemzaa mwanaume.”
2 Then again she became with child and gave birth to Abel, his brother. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a farmer.
Baadaye akamzaa Abeli ndugu yake. Basi Abeli akawa mfugaji, na Kaini akawa mkulima.
3 And after a time, Cain gave to the Lord an offering of the fruits of the earth.
Baada ya muda Kaini akaleta baadhi ya mazao ya shamba kama sadaka kwa Bwana.
4 And Abel gave an offering of the young lambs of his flock and of their fat. And the Lord was pleased with Abel's offering;
Lakini Abeli akaleta fungu nono kutoka baadhi ya wazaliwa wa kwanza wa mifugo yake. Bwana akamkubali Abeli pamoja na sadaka yake,
5 But in Cain and his offering he had no pleasure. And Cain was angry and his face became sad.
lakini Mungu hakumkubali Kaini pamoja na sadaka yake. Kwa hiyo Kaini akakasirika sana, uso wake ukawa na huzuni.
6 And the Lord said to Cain, Why are you angry? and why is your face sad?
Kisha Bwana akamwambia Kaini, “Kwa nini umekasirika? Kwa nini uso wako una huzuni?
7 If you do well, will you not have honour? and if you do wrong, sin is waiting at the door, desiring to have you, but do not let it be your master.
Ukifanya lililo sawa, je, hutakubalika? Lakini usipofanya lililo sawa, dhambi inakuvizia mlangoni mwako, inakutamani wewe, lakini inakupasa uishinde.”
8 And Cain said to his brother, Let us go into the field: and when they were in the field, Cain made an attack on his brother Abel and put him to death.
Basi Kaini akamwambia ndugu yake Abeli, “Twende shambani.” Walipokuwa shambani, Kaini akamshambulia Abeli ndugu yake, akamuua.
9 And the Lord said to Cain, Where is your brother Abel? And he said, I have no idea: am I my brother's keeper?
Kisha Bwana akamuuliza Kaini, “Ndugu yako Abeli yuko wapi?” Akamjibu, “Sijui, je, mimi ni mlinzi wa ndugu yangu?”
10 And he said, What have you done? the voice of your brother's blood is crying to me from the earth.
Bwana akasema, “Umefanya nini? Sikiliza! Damu ya ndugu yako inanililia mimi kutoka ardhini.
11 And now you are cursed from the earth, whose mouth is open to take your brother's blood from your hand;
Sasa umelaaniwa na umehamishwa kutoka ardhi, ambayo imefungua kinywa chake na kupokea damu ya ndugu yako kutoka mkononi mwako.
12 No longer will the earth give you her fruit as the reward of your work; you will be a wanderer in flight over the earth.
Utakapoilima ardhi, haitakupa tena mazao yake. Utakuwa mtu wa kutangatanga duniani asiye na utulivu.”
13 And Cain said, My punishment is greater than my strength.
Kaini akamwambia Bwana, “Adhabu yangu ni zaidi ya niwezavyo kustahimili.
14 You have sent me out this day from the face of the earth and from before your face; I will be a wanderer in flight over the earth, and whoever sees me will put me to death.
Leo unanifukuza kutoka nchi, nami nitafichwa mbali na uwepo wako. Nitakuwa mtu wa kutangatanga asiyetulia duniani na yeyote anionaye ataniua.”
15 And the Lord said, Truly, if Cain is put to death, seven lives will be taken for his. And the Lord put a mark on Cain so that no one might put him to death.
Lakini Bwana akamwambia, “La sivyo, ikiwa mtu yeyote atamuua Kaini atalipizwa kisasi mara saba zaidi.” Kisha Bwana akamwekea Kaini alama ili mtu yeyote ambaye angemwona asimuue.
16 And Cain went away from before the face of the Lord, and made his living-place in the land of Nod on the east of Eden.
Kwa hiyo Kaini akaondoka mbele za Bwana akaenda kuishi katika nchi ya Nodi, iliyoko mashariki ya Edeni.
17 And Cain had connection with his wife and she became with child and gave birth to Enoch: and he made a town, and gave the town the name of Enoch after his son.
Kaini akakutana kimwili na mkewe, naye akapata mimba na akamzaa Enoki. Wakati huo Kaini alikuwa anajenga mji, akauita Enoki jina la mtoto wake.
18 And Enoch had a son Irad: and Irad became the father of Mehujael: and Mehujael became the father of Methushael: and Methushael became the father of Lamech.
Enoki akamzaa Iradi, Iradi akamzaa Mehuyaeli, Mehuyaeli akamzaa Methushaeli, na Methushaeli akamzaa Lameki.
19 And Lamech had two wives; the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah.
Lameki alioa wanawake wawili, mmoja aliitwa Ada, na mwingine Sila.
20 And Adah gave birth to Jabal: he was the father of such as are living in tents and keep cattle.
Ada akamzaa Yabali ambaye ni baba wa wale walioishi katika mahema na kufuga wanyama.
21 And his brother's name was Jubal: he was the father of all players on instruments of music.
Kaka yake aliitwa Yubali, aliyekuwa baba wa wote wapigao zeze na filimbi.
22 And Zillah gave birth to Tubal-cain, who is the father of every maker of cutting instruments of brass and iron: and the sister of Tubal-cain was Naamah.
Pia Sila alikuwa na mtoto wa kiume aliyeitwa Tubali-Kaini ambaye alifua vifaa vya aina mbalimbali vya shaba na chuma. Naama alikuwa dada wa Tubali-Kaini.
23 And Lamech said to his wives, Adah and Zillah, give ear to my voice; you wives of Lamech, give attention to my words, for I would put a man to death for a wound, and a young man for a blow;
Lameki akawaambia wake zake, “Ada na Sila nisikilizeni mimi; wake wa Lameki sikieni maneno yangu. Nimemuua mtu kwa kunijeruhi, kijana mdogo kwa kuniumiza.
24 If seven lives are to be taken as punishment for Cain's death, seventy-seven will be taken for Lamech's.
Kama Kaini atalipizwa kisasi mara saba, basi Lameki itakuwa mara sabini na saba.”
25 And Adam had connection with his wife again, and she gave birth to a son to whom she gave the name of Seth: for she said, God has given me another seed in place of Abel, whom Cain put to death.
Adamu akakutana kimwili na mke wake tena, akamzaa mwana, akamwita Sethi, akisema, “Mungu amenijalia mwana mwingine badala ya Abeli, kwa kuwa Kaini alimuua.”
26 And Seth had a son, and he gave him the name of Enosh: at this time men first made use of the name of the Lord in worship.
Naye Sethi akamzaa mwana, akamwita Enoshi. Wakati huo watu wakaanza kuliitia jina la Bwana.
