Genesis 4
1 And Man knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bore Cain, and said, I have acquired a man with Jehovah.
Lè sa a, Adan kouche ak Ev, madanm li. Madanm li vin ansent. Li fè yon pitit gason, li rele l' Kayen, epi li di. Avèk konkou Bondye, mwen gen yon gason.
2 And she further bore his brother Abel. And Abel was a shepherd, but Cain was a husbandman.
Apre sa, li fè Abèl, frè Kayen. Abèl te gadò mouton, Kayen menm te travay latè.
3 And in process of time it came to pass that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering to Jehovah.
Kèk tan apre sa, Kayen pran nan rekòt li, li ofri bay Seye a.
4 And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock, and of their fat. And Jehovah looked upon Abel, and on his offering;
Abèl menm, bò pa l', pran sa ki pi gra nan premye pitit mouton l' yo, li ofri bay Seyè a. Seyè a te kontan ofrann Abèl la.
5 and upon Cain, and on his offering, he did not look. And Cain was very angry, and his countenance fell.
Men, li pa t' asepte ofrann Kayen an. Lè Kayen wè sa, li te move anpil. Li move, li mare figi l' byen mare.
6 And Jehovah said to Cain, Why art thou angry, and why is thy countenance fallen?
Lè sa a, Seyè a di Kayen. Poukisa ou move konsa? Poukisa ou mare figi ou konsa?
7 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.
Si sa ou te fè a te byen, ou pa ta rive nan sitiyasyon sa a. Men, paske ou fè sa ki mal, peche kouche nan papòt ou. L'ap tann konsa lè pou l' pran tèt ou. Men, ou menm, se pou ou kenbe tèt ak li.
8 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.
Yon jou, Kayen di Abèl, frè li. Ann al nan jaden. Vwala, antan yo nan jaden an, Kayen vire sou frè li, li touye li.
9 And Jehovah said to Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: am I my brother's keeper?
Seyè a mande Kayen. Kote Abèl, frè ou la? Kayen reponn. Mwen pa konnen. Eske ou te mete m' veye l'?
10 And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood is crying to me from the ground.
Bondye di l' konsa. Kisa ou fè konsa? San Abèl, frè ou, ki koule atè a, ap rele tankou yon vwa moun. Li rive jouk nan zòrèy mwen. L'ap mande revanj.
11 And now be thou cursed from the ground, which hath opened its mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand.
Koulye a, tè ki te louvri bouch li pou l' te bwè san frè ou ou te fè koule a, menm tè sa a ap tounen yon madichon pou ou.
12 When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield thee its strength; a wanderer and fugitive shalt thou be on the earth.
Lè w'a travay latè, li p'ap ba ou sa l' te dwe ba ou. W'ap tounen yon vakabon k'ap plede mache toupatou sou latè san rete.
13 And Cain said to Jehovah, My punishment is too great to be borne.
Kayen di Seyè a: Chatiman an twòp pou mwen. Mwen p'ap ka sipòte l'.
14 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.
Men ou mete m' deyò sou tè sa a koulye a, se kache pou m' al kache pou ou pa wè m'. M'ap tounen yon vakabon k'ap plede mache toupatou sou latè san rete. Nenpòt moun ki jwenn mwen va touye m'.
15 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.
Seyè a di: Non. Paske, si yon moun touye Kayen, y'ap fè l' peye sa sèt fwa. Se konsa, li mete yon siy sou Kayen pou moun pa touye l' si yo jwenn li.
16 And Cain went out from the presence of Jehovah, and dwelt in the land of Nod, toward the east of Eden.
Apre sa, Kayen wete kò l' devan Seyè a, li al rete nan yon peyi yo rele Nòd, lòt bò jaden Edenn lan, sou kote solèy leve a.
17 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.
Kayen kouche avèk madanm li. Madanm li vin ansent, li fè yon ti gason yo rele Enòk. Apre sa, Kayen bati yon vil, li rele l' Enòk. Li ba l' menm non ak pitit gason l' lan.
18 And to Enoch was born Irad; and Irad begot Mehujael; and Mehujael begot Methushael; and Methushael begot Lemech.
Enòk te fè yon pitit gason yo rele Irad. Se Irad sa a ki te papa Meoujaèl. Meoujaèl te papa Metouchaèl. Se Metouchaèl ki te papa Lemèk.
19 And Lemech took two wives: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the second, Zillah.
Lemèk te gen de madanm. Yonn te rele Ada, lòt la te rele Zila.
20 And Adah bore Jabal: he was the father of those who dwell in tents, and [breed] cattle.
Se Ada ki manman Jabal. Jabal sa a, se li menm ki zansèt tout moun sa yo ki rete anba tant epi ki gade bèt.
21 And his brother's name was Jubal: he was the father of those who handle the harp and pipe.
Frè menm manman ak li a te rele Joubal. Se li menm ki zansèt tout moun sa yo k'ap jwe gita ak fif.
22 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.
Zila menm bò pa l' te manman Toubal Kayen, yon bòs fòjon ki te konn travay kwiv ak fè. Toubal Kayen te gen yon sè menm manman ak li ki te rele Naama.
23 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.
Yon jou Lemèk di madanm li yo: Ada ak Zila, koute sa m'ap di nou! Madanm mwen yo, tande byen sa m'ap di nou! Mwen touye yon moun paske li leve men li sou mwen. Mwen touye yon jenn gason paske li mete san m' deyò.
24 If Cain shall be avenged seven-fold; Lemech seventy and seven fold.
Si yon moun touye Kayen y'ap fè l' peye sa sèt fwa. Men, si yon moun touye m', mwen menm Lemèk, y'ap fè l' peye sa swasanndisèt fwa.
25 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.
Adan te kouche ak madanm li ankò. Madanm li fè yon ti gason. Madanm lan di: Bondye ban m' yon lòt gason pou ranplase Abèl Kayen te touye a. Li rele l' Sèt.
26 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.
Sèt, pou tèt pa l', vin gen yon pitit gason, li rele l' Enòk. Se lè sa a moun konmanse fè sèvis pou Seyè a.
