Genesis 4
1 Truly, Adam knew his wife Eve, who conceived and gave birth to Cain, saying, “I have obtained a man through God.”
Adamu asangisaki nzoto na mwasi na ye Eva; mpe Eva akomaki na zemi, bongo abotaki Kayina. Alobaki: « Nasali moto na lisungi ya Yawe. »
2 And again she gave birth to his brother Abel. But Abel was a pastor of sheep, and Cain was a farmer.
Sima na yango, abotaki lisusu Abele, ndeko ya Kayina. Abele akomaki kobokola bibwele mpe Kayina akomaki kosala bilanga.
3 Then it happened, after many days, that Cain offered gifts to the Lord, from the fruits of the earth.
Sima na mwa tango, Kayina amemaki mbuma ya mabele mpo na kobonzela Yawe.
4 Abel likewise offered from the firstborn of his flock, and from their fat. And the Lord looked with favor on Abel and his gifts.
Abele, ye mpe amemaki bibwele oyo ebotamaki liboso kati na etonga na ye mpe biteni oyo eleki mafuta. Yawe asepelaki na Abele mpe na makabo na ye,
5 Yet in truth, he did not look with favor on Cain and his gifts. And Cain was vehemently angry, and his countenance fell.
kasi asepelaki te na Kayina mpe na makabo na ye. Bongo, Kayina asilikaki makasi mpe elongi na ye ekomaki mawa-mawa.
6 And the Lord said to him: “Why are you angry? And why is your face fallen?
Yawe alobaki na Kayina: — Mpo na nini osiliki? Mpo na nini elongi na yo ekomi mawa-mawa?
7 If you behave well, will you not receive? But if you behave badly, will not sin at once be present at the door? And so its desire will be within you, and you will be dominated by it.”
Boni, soki osali malamu, bakondima yo te? Kasi soki osali malamu te, lisumu elali penza na ekuke na yo, mpe posa na yango ezali kobenda yo makasi; kasi yo, longa yango.
8 And Cain said to his brother Abel, “Let us go outside.” And when they were in the field, Cain rose up against his brother Abel, and he put him to death.
Kayina alobaki na Abele, ndeko na ye. Wana bazalaki kati na bilanga, Kayina akangaki Abele, ndeko na ye, mpe abomaki ye.
9 And the Lord said to Cain, “Where is your brother Abel?” And he responded: “I do not know. Am I my brother’s keeper?”
Yawe atunaki Kayina: — Wapi ndeko na yo Abele? Kayina azongisaki: — Nayebi te. Boni, ngai nazali mokengeli ya ndeko na ngai?
10 And he said to him: “What have you done? The voice of your brother’s blood cries out to me from the land.
Nzambe alobaki: — Osali nini? Likambo nini penza osali? Makila ya ndeko na yo ezali koganga wuta na mabele kino epai na Ngai.
11 Now, therefore, you will be cursed upon the land, which opened its mouth and received the blood of your brother at your hand.
Sik’oyo, olakelami mabe mpe obwakami mosika ya mabele oyo efungolaki monoko na yango mpo na komela makila ya ndeko na yo, oyo maboko na yo esopaki.
12 When you work it, it will not give you its fruit; a vagrant and a fugitive shall you be upon the land.”
Tango okobalola mabele, ekobotela yo mbuma te. Okozala koyengayenga mpe kotelengana na mokili.
13 And Cain said to the Lord: “My iniquity is too great to deserve kindness.
Kayina alobaki na Yawe: — Etumbu na ngai eleki pasi mpo na komema!
14 Behold, you have cast me out this day before the face of the earth, and from your face I will be hidden; and I will be a vagrant and a fugitive on the earth. Therefore, anyone who finds me will kill me.”
Tala, obwaki ngai lelo mosika ya mabele; nasengeli sik’oyo kobombama liboso na Yo, nakokoma koyengayenga mpe kotelengana na mokili, mpe moto nyonso oyo akomona ngai akoboma ngai.
15 And the Lord said to him: “By no means will it be so; rather, whoever would kill Cain, will be punished sevenfold.” And the Lord placed a seal upon Cain, so that anyone who found him would not put him to death.
Kasi Yawe alobaki na ye: — Ezali bongo te! Soki moto abomi Kayina, bakozongisa mabe mpo na Kayina mbala sambo. Mpe Yawe atiaki elembo na nzoto ya Kayina na tina ete moto oyo akokutana na ye aboma ye te.
16 And so Cain, departing from the face of the Lord, lived as a fugitive on the earth, toward the eastern region of Eden.
Kayina alongwaki liboso ya Yawe, akendeki kovanda na mokili ya Nodi, na este ya Edeni.
17 Then Cain knew his wife, and she conceived and gave birth to Enoch. And he built a city, and he called its name by the name of his son, Enoch.
Kayina asangisaki nzoto na mwasi na ye; mpe mwasi na ye akomaki na zemi, bongo abotaki Enoki. Kayina atongaki engumba. Apesaki yango kombo « Enoki, » kombo ya mwana na ye ya mobali.
18 Thereafter, Enoch conceived Irad, and Irad conceived Mahujael, and Mahujael conceived Mathusael, and Mathusael conceived Lamech.
Enoki abotaki Iradi; Iradi abotaki Mewuyayeli; Mewuyayeli abotaki Metusaeli; Metusaeli abotaki Lemeki.
19 Lamech took two wives: the name of one was Adah, and the name of the other was Zillah.
Lemeki abalaki basi mibale: moko, kombo na ye ezalaki « Ada, » mpe mosusu, « Tsila. »
20 And Adah conceived Jabel, who was the father of those who live in tents and are shepherds.
Ada abotaki Yabali, koko ya bavandi ya bandako ya kapo mpe ya babokoli bibwele.
21 And the name of his brother was Jubal; he was the father of those who sing to the harp and the organ.
Ndeko na ye ya mobali, Yubali, azalaki koko ya bato oyo babetaka lindanda mpe flite.
22 Zillah also conceived Tubalcain, who was a hammerer and artisan in every work of brass and iron. In fact, the sister of Tubalcain was Noema.
Tsila mpe abotaki mwana mobali, Tubali-Kayina, oyo azalaki kosala bisalelo nyonso ya bronze mpe ya bibende. Tubali-Kayina azalaki na ndeko mwasi, kombo na ye ezalaki « Naama. »
23 And Lamech said to his wives Adah and Zillah: “Listen to my voice, you wives of Lamech, pay attention to my speech. For I have killed a man to my own harm, and an adolescent to my own bruising.
Lemeki alobaki na basi na ye: « Ada mpe Tsila, boyoka ngai malamu; bino basi ya Lemeki, bolanda ngai malamu: Solo, likolo ya pota moko, ngai nabomaki moto; mpe likolo ya mwa pota, nabomaki elenge mobali!
24 Sevenfold vengeance will be given for Cain, but for Lamech, seventy-seven times.”
Solo, bakozongisa mbala sambo mabe oyo basali Kayina; kasi mpo na Lemeki, ekozala mbala tuku sambo na sambo! »
25 Adam also knew his wife again, and she gave birth to a son, and she called his name Seth, saying, “God has given me another offspring, in place of Abel, whom Cain killed.”
Adamu asangisaki lisusu nzoto na mwasi na ye, bongo mwasi na ye abotaki Seti, pamba te alobaki: « Nzambe apesi ngai mwana mosusu na esika ya Abele oyo Kayina abomaki. »
26 But to Seth also was born a son, whom he called Enos. This one began to invoke the name of the Lord.
Seti mpe abotaki mwana mobali, apesaki ye kombo « Enoshi. » Ezalaki na tango wana nde bato bakomaki kobelela Kombo ya Yawe.
