Genesis 4
1 And Adam knew Eve his wife: who conceived and brought forth Cain, saying: I have gotten a man through God.
Pea naʻe ʻilo ʻe ʻAtama ʻa hono uaifi ko ʻIvi; pea tuituʻia ia, pea fanauʻi ʻa Keini, pea pehē ʻe ia, “Kuo u maʻu ha tangata meia Sihova.”
2 And again she brought forth his brother Abel. And Abel was a shepherd, and Cain a husbandman.
Pea ne toe fanauʻi ʻa hono tehina ko ʻEpeli. Pea ko e tauhi sipi ʻa ʻEpeli, ka ko e tauhi ngoue ʻa Keini.
3 And it came to pass after many days, that Cain offered, of the fruits of the earth, gifts to the Lord.
Pea ʻi he hokosia ʻae ngaahi ʻaho, naʻe ʻomi ʻe Keini ʻae ngaahi fua ʻoe kelekele, ko e feilaulau kia Sihova.
4 Abel also offered of the firstlings of his flock, and of their fat: and the Lord had respect to Abel, and to his offerings.
Pea naʻe ʻomi foki ʻe ʻEpeli, ʻae veloaki mo ia naʻe ngako ʻi heʻene fanga manu. Pea naʻe leleiʻia ʻa Sihova kia ʻEpeli mo ʻene feilaulau:
5 But to Cain and his offerings he had no respect: and Cain was exceedingly angry, and his countenance fell.
Ka naʻe ʻikai te ne leleiʻia kia Keini mo ʻene feilaulau. Pea naʻe ʻita ʻaupito ʻa Keini, pea kehe hono mata.
6 And the Lord said to him: Why art thou angry? and why is thy countenance fallen?
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Keini, “Ko e hā ʻoku ke ʻita ai? Pea ko e hā ʻoku kehe ai ho mata?
7 If thou do well, shalt thou not receive? but if ill, shall not sin forthwith be present at the door? but the lust thereof shall be under thee, and thou shalt have dominion over it.
Kapau te ke fai lelei, ʻikai ʻe maʻu koe? Pea ka ʻikai te ke fai lelei, ʻoku ʻi he matapā ʻae angahala. Pea ʻe anganofo ia kiate koe, pea te ke pule kiate ia.”
8 And Cain said to Abel his brother: Let us go forth abroad. And when they were in the field, Cain rose up against his brother Abel, and slew him.
Pea naʻe alea ʻa ʻEpeli mo hono tokoua: pea lolotonga ʻena ʻi he ngoue, naʻe tuʻu hake ʻa Keini ki hono tehina ko ʻEpeli, ʻone tāmateʻi ia.
9 And the Lord said to Cain: Where is thy brother Abel? And he answered, I know not: am I my brother’s keeper?
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Keini, “Ko e fē ʻa ʻEpeli ko ho tehina?” Pea pehē ʻe ia, “ʻOku ʻikai te u ʻilo: he ko e tauhi au ʻa hoku tokoua?”
10 And he said to him: What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother’s blood crieth to me from the earth.
Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Ko e hā eni kuo ke fai? ʻOku tangi kiate au mei he kelekele ʻae leʻo ʻoe toto ʻo ho tehina.
11 Now, therefore, cursed shalt thou be upon the earth, which hath opened her mouth and received the blood of thy brother at thy hand.
Pea ko eni, kuo fakamalaʻia koe mei he kelekele, ʻaia kuo fakamanga hono ngutu ke maʻu mei ho nima ʻae toto ʻoho tehina;
12 When thou shalt till it, it shall not yield to thee its fruit: a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be upon the earth.
ʻoka ke ka ngoueʻi ʻae kelekele, ʻe ʻikai tupu lelei kiate koe ʻa hono fua; te ke hoko ko e fehēhēʻaki mo e hehengi ʻi he fonua.”
13 And Cain said to the Lord: My iniquity is greater than that I may deserve pardon.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Keini kia Sihova, “ʻOku lahi hake ʻa hoku tautea ʻi heʻeku faʻa kātaki.
14 Behold thou dost cast me out this day from the face of the earth, and I shall be hidden from thy face, and I shall be a vagabond and a fugitive on the earth: every one, therefore, that findeth me, shall kill me.
Vakai, kuo ke kapusi au ʻi he ʻaho ni mei he funga ʻoe fonua; pea ʻe fufū au mei ho fofonga; pea teu fehēhēʻaki mo hehengi ʻi he fonua; pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ko ia kotoa pē ʻoku ʻiloʻi au ʻe tāmateʻi au.”
15 And the Lord said to him: No, it shall not be so: but whosoever shall kill Cain, shall be punished sevenfold. And the Lord set a mark upon Cain, that whosoever found him should not kill him.
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kiate ia, “Ko ia ia ʻoku ne tāmateʻi ʻa Keini, ʻe tō kiate ia ʻae tautea ʻo liunga fitu.” Pea naʻe ʻai ʻe Sihova ʻae fakaʻilonga kia Keini, telia naʻa ʻilo ia ʻe ha taha, pea tāmateʻi ia.
16 And Cain went out from the face of the Lord, and dwelt as a fugitive on the earth, at the east side of Eden.
Pea naʻe ʻalu atu ʻa Keini mei he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ke nofo ʻi he fonua ko Noti, ʻi he [potu ] hahake ʻo ʻIteni.
17 And Cain knew his wife, and she conceived, and brought forth Henoch: and he built a city, and called the name thereof by the name of his son Henoch.
Pea naʻe ʻilo ʻe Keini ʻa hono uaifi, pea tuituʻia ia mo ne fanauʻi ʻa ʻInoke: pea naʻe langa ʻe ia ʻae kolo, pea naʻa ne fakahingoa ʻae kolo ki he hingoa ʻo hono foha ko ʻInoke.
18 And Henoch begot Irad, and Irad begot Maviael, and Maviael begot Mathusael, and Mathusael begot Lamech:
Pea naʻe fanauʻi kia ʻInoke ʻa ʻIlati pea tupu ʻia ʻIlati ʻa Mihuseale: pea tupu ʻia Mihuseale ʻa Metuseʻeli: pea tupu ʻia Metuseʻeli ʻa Lemeki,
19 Who took two wives: the name of the one was Ada, and the name of the other Sella.
Pea naʻe maʻu ʻe Lemeki kiate ia ʻae ongo uaifi: ko e hingoa ʻoe tokotaha ko ʻAta, pea ko e hingoa ʻoe tokotaha ko Sila.
20 And Ada brought forth Jabel: who was the father of such as dwell in tents, and of herdsmen.
Pea naʻe fanauʻi ʻe ʻAta ʻa Sepale ko e tamai ia ʻanautolu ʻoku nofo ʻi he ngaahi fale fehikitaki mo tauhi ʻae fanga manu.
21 And his brother’s name was Jubal; he was the father of them that play upon the harp and the organs.
Pea ko e hingoa ʻo hono tokoua ko Supale: ko e tamai ia ʻanautolu kotoa pē ʻoku faiva ʻaki ʻae meʻa tatangi mo e meʻa ʻoku ifi.
22 Sella also brought forth Tubalcain, who was a hammerer and artificer in every work of brass and iron. And the sister of Tubalcain was Noema.
Pea fāʻeleʻi foki ʻe Sila ʻa Tupale-Keini, ko e tufunga ʻoe ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ʻi he palasa mo e ukamea; pea ko e tuofefine ʻo Tupale-Keini ko Neama.
23 And Lamech said to his wives Ada and Sella: Hear my voice, ye wives of Lamech, hearken to my speech: for I have slain a man to the wounding of myself, and a stripling to my own bruising.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Lemeki ki hono ongo uaifi ko ʻAta mo Sila, “Fanongo ki hoku leʻo; ʻae ongo uaifi ʻo Lemeki, fakafanongo ki heʻeku lea: he kuo u tāmateʻi ha tangata ʻi hoku lavea, ʻio, ko e talavou koeʻuhi ko ʻeku mamahi.
24 Sevenfold vengeance shall be taken for Cain: but for Lamech seventy times sevenfold.
Kapau ʻe totongi ʻia Keini ʻo liunga fitu, ko e moʻoni, ʻe liunga fitungofulu ia lau ʻe fitu kia Lemeki.”
25 Adam also knew his wife again: and she brought forth a son, and called his name Seth, saying: God hath given me another seed, for Abel whom Cain slew.
Pea naʻe toe ʻilo ʻe ʻAtama ʻa hono uaifi; pea fāʻeleʻi ʻe ia ʻae tama, pea naʻe ui hono hingoa ko Seti: he naʻe [pehē ʻe ia], “Kuo foaki kiate au ʻe he ʻOtua ha hako ʻe taha ko e fetongi ʻo ʻEpeli, ʻaia naʻe tāmateʻi ʻe Keini.”
26 But to Seth also was born a son, whom he called Enos; this man began to call upon the name of the Lord.
Pea naʻe fanauʻi foki ha foha kia Seti; pea naʻe ui hono hingoa ko ʻInosi: pea naʻe kamata ui ʻae kakai ki he huafa ʻo Sihova.
