Genesis 4
1 Adam (had sex/slept) with his wife Eve, and she became pregnant and gave birth to a son whom she named Cain, [which sounds like the word that means ‘produce’], because, she said, “By Yahweh’s help I have produced a son.” Some time later she gave birth to another son, and she named him Abel.
Na Adam el ona yurin mutan kial, ac mutan sac pitutuyak. El oswela wen se ac fahk, “LEUM GOD El kasreyu ac se wen se nutik.” Ouinge el sang inel Cain.
2 [After those boys grew up], Abel (tended/took care of) sheep and goats, and Cain became a farmer.
Tok el oswela pac wen se, Abel. Abel el mwet liyaung sheep, a Cain el mwet ima se.
3 One day Cain harvested some of the crops he had grown and brought them to Yahweh as a gift for him,
In kutu pacl tok, Cain el use kutu fokin ima lal, ac sang tuh in mwe kisa nu sin LEUM GOD.
4 and Abel took from his flock some of the first lambs that had been born [and killed them] and, as a gift, gave to Yahweh the fatty parts, [which were the best parts]. Yahweh was pleased with Abel and his offering,
Na Abel el use sheep fusr soko ma osweyukla oemeet sin soko sheep natul. El uniya ac sang ip ma wo emeet kac in mwe kisa. LEUM GOD El insewowo sel Abel ac ke mwe kisa lal,
5 but he was not pleased with Cain and his offering. So Cain became very angry, and his face looked dejected.
a El tia insewowo sel Cain ac mwe kisa lal. Cain el arulana foloyak, ac ngetnget toasr ke kasrkusrak lal.
6 Yahweh said to Cain, “(You should not be angry!/Why are you angry?) [RHQ] (You should not scowl like that!/Why do you scowl like that?) [RHQ]
Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Cain, “Efu ku kom kasrkusrak? Efu kom srasrol?
7 If you had done what was right (OR, if you do what is right) [RHQ], I would accept your offering. But if you do not do what is right, [your desire to] sin [is ready to attack you like a wild animal that] [PRS] crouches outside the doorway, [ready to spring on its victim] [MET]. [Your desire to] sin wants to control you, but you must (control/not obey) it.”
Kom funu oru ma wo, kom lukun israsr na. A ke koluk ma kom oru an, na ma koluk uh tawi kom na in sruokkomi. El kena leumi kom, tusruktu kom enenu in kutangulla.”
8 But one day, Cain said to his younger brother Abel, “Let’s go for a walk in the fields.” [So they went together]. And when they were in the countryside, suddenly Cain attacked Abel and killed him.
Na Cain el fahk nu sel Abel, tamulel lal, “Fahsru kital som nu inima uh.” Ke pacl se eltal sun inima uh, na Cain el forang nu sel Abel ac unilya.
9 [Later, even though] Yahweh [knew what Cain had done], he said to Cain, “[Do you know] where Abel, your younger brother, is?” Cain replied, “No, I do not know. (My job is not to guard my younger brother!/Am I supposed to take care of my younger brother?)” [RHQ]
LEUM GOD El siyuk sel Cain, “El aya Abel, tamulel lom?” El topuk, “Nga nikin. Mea, nga mwet in liyaung tamulel luk uh?”
10 Yahweh said, “You have done a terrible thing [RHQ]! So now [it is as though] your younger brother’s voice is crying to me from the ground, demanding that his death must be avenged.
Na LEUM GOD El fahk, “Efu ku kom oru ma na koluk se inge? Srahn tamulel lom pa wowoyak nu sik infohk uh me, oana sie pusra ma sukok foloksak.
11 You have killed your younger brother, and the ground has soaked up his blood. So now I will expel you from this land and curse your efforts to produce crops.
Inge kom oan ye sie selnga ac kom fah tia ku in sifilpa imai fohk uh. Fohk uh numwani srahn tamulel lom, oana sie oalu su mangelik soano in numla srahl ke pacl se kom unilya ah.
12 You will till the ground to plant crops, but the ground will produce very few [HYP] crops. And you will continually wander around the earth, and not have any place to live permanently.”
Kom fin srike in yok sacn, infohk uh ac fah tia oswe kutena ma. Ac fah wangin acn sum, ac kom fah forfor pukafukwel fin faclu.”
13 Cain replied, “You are punishing me more then I can endure.
Ac Cain el fahk nu sin LEUM GOD, “Kalya se inge arulana upala nu sik.
14 You are about to expel me from the ground [that I have been cultivating], and I will no longer be able to come (into your presence/and talk with you). Furthermore, I will be continually wandering around the earth with no place to live permanently, and anyone who sees me will kill me.”
Kom lisyula liki acn uh in som loesla liki ye motom. Nga fah sie mwet wangin acn se, takusrkusr fin faclu, ac kutena mwet fin koneyuyak ac uniyuwi.”
15 But Yahweh said to him, “No, that will not happen. I will put a mark on you to warn anyone who sees you that [I will punish him severely if] he kills you. I will punish that person seven times as severely as I am punishing you.” Then Yahweh put a mark on Cain’s forehead.
Tusruktu LEUM GOD El fahk, “Mo. Mwet se fin unikomi, moul lun mwet itkosr fah itukla in aolkomla.” Ke ma inge LEUM GOD El filiya sie akul facl Cain in akesmakinye kutena mwet su sonol in tia unilya.
16 So Cain left Yahweh and went to live in the land called Nod, [which means ‘wandering’], which was east of Eden.
Ac Cain el som liki ye mutun LEUM GOD ac muta in acn se pangpang “Nod,” su oan kutulap in acn Eden.
17 Some time later, Cain (had sex/slept) with his wife, and she [became pregnant and] gave birth to a son, whom she named Enoch. Then Cain started to build a city, and he named the city ‘Enoch’, the same name that his son had.
Oasr wen se natul Cain ac mutan kial, ac eltal sang inel Enoch. Na Cain el musaela siti se ac sang inen wen se natul ah nu kac.
18 Enoch [grew up and married and] became the father of a son whom he named Irad. When Irad [grew up he] became the father of a son whom he named Mehujael. Mehujael [grew up and] became the father of a son whom he named Methuselah. Methuselah [grew up and] became the father of Lamech.
Oasr wen se natul Enoch, inel pa Irad, su papa tumal Mehujael. Ac wen se natul Mehujael pa Methushael, su papa tumal Lamech.
19 When Lamech [grew up he] married two women. The name of one was Adah and the other was Zillah.
Oasr mutan luo kial Lamech, eltal pa Adah ac Zillah.
20 Adah gave birth to [a son she named] Jabal.
Adah el oswella Jabal, su papa matu tumun mwet tohf kosro ac muta in lohm nuknuk.
21 Later, Jabal was the first person who lived in tents because he traveled from place to place to take care of livestock. His younger brother’s name was Jubal. He was the first person who made/played a (lyre/stringed instrument) and a flute.
Tamulel se lal Jabal pa Jubal, ac el papa tumun mwet orek on nukewa su srital ke mwe on harp ac flute.
22 [Lamech’s other wife] Zillah gave birth to a son whom she named Tubal-Cain. Later Tubal-Cain became a (blacksmith/one who made tools from bronze and iron). Tubal-Cain had a younger sister whose name was Naamah.
Zillah el oswella Tubal Cain, sie mwet su oru kain in kufwen sroasr nukewa ke osra bronze ac iron. Tamtael se lal Tubal Cain pa Naamah.
23 One day Lamech said to his two wives, “Adah and Zillah, listen carefully to what I am saying. A young man struck me and wounded me, so I killed him.
Lamech el fahk nu sin mutan luo kial, “Adah ac Zillah, porongeyu: Nga uniya mwet fusr se mweyen el tuh puokyuwi.
24 Yahweh said long ago that he would avenge and punish anyone who killed Cain seven times as much as he punished Cain [for killing his younger brother]. So if anyone [tries to] kill me, I will punish him 77 times as much [as Yahweh punished Cain].”
Moul lun mwet itkosr fin itukla in aol misa lal Cain, Na mwet itngoul itkosr ac fah itukla moul la, mwet se fin uniyuwi.”
25 Adam continued to (have sex/sleep) with [EUP] his wife, and she [became pregnant and] gave birth to another son, whom she named Seth, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘given’], because, she said, “God has given me another child to take the place of Abel, since Cain killed him.”
Adam ac mutan kial oswela sie pac wen. Na mutan sac fahk, “God El sifilpa ase wen se nutik in aolulla Abel, su Cain el uniya.” Ke ma inge el sang inel Seth.
26 When Seth grew up, he became the father of a son whom he named Enosh. About that time people began to worship Yahweh [again].
Oasr pac wen se natul Seth, ac el sang inel Enosh. In pacl sac me pa mwet uh mutawauk in orekmakin ine mutal lun LEUM GOD ke alu lalos.
