Cain and Abel
1 And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD.
Adamu akamjua Hawa mkewe; naye akapata mimba, akamzaa Kaini, akasema, Nimepata mtoto mwanamume kwa Bwana.
2 And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.
Akaongeza akamzaa ndugu yake, Habili. Habili alikuwa mchunga kondoo, na Kaini alikuwa mkulima ardhi.
3 And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD.
Ikawa hatimaye Kaini akaleta mazao ya ardhi, sadaka kwa Bwana.
4 And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering:
Habili naye akaleta wazao wa kwanza wa wanyama wake na sehemu zilizonona za wanyama. Bwana akamtakabali Habili na sadaka yake;
5 but unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.
bali Kaini hakumtakabali, wala sadaka yake. Kaini akaghadhibika sana, uso wake ukakunjamana.
6 And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen?
Bwana akamwambia Kaini, Kwa nini una ghadhabu? Na kwa nini uso wako umekunjamana?
7 If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.
Kama ukitenda vyema, hutapata kibali? Usipotenda vyema dhambi iko, inakuotea mlangoni, nayo inakutamani wewe, walakini yapasa uishinde.
8 And Cain talked with 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.
Kaini akamwambia Habili nduguye, [Twende uwandani] Ikawa walipokuwapo uwandani, Kaini akamwinukia Habili nduguye, akamwua.
9 And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother's keeper?
Bwana akamwambia Kaini, Yuko wapi Habili ndugu yako? Akasema, Sijui, mimi ni mlinzi wa ndugu yangu?
10 And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground.
Akasema, Umefanya nini? Sauti ya damu ya ndugu yako inanililia kutoka katika ardhi.
11 And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand;
Basi sasa, umelaaniwa wewe katika ardhi, iliyofumbua kinywa chake ipokee damu ya ndugu yako kwa mkono wako;
12 when thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth.
utakapoilima ardhi haitakupa mazao yake; utakuwa mtoro na mtu asiye na kikao duniani.
13 And Cain said unto the LORD, My punishment is greater than I can bear.
Kaini akamwambia Bwana, Adhabu yangu imenikulia kubwa, haichukuliki.
14 Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth; and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass, that every one that findeth me shall slay me.
Tazama, umenifukuza leo katika uso wa ardhi, nitasitirika mbali na uso wako, nami nitakuwa mtoro na mtu asiye na kikao duniani; hata itakuwa kila anionaye ataniua.
15 And the LORD said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the LORD set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him.
Bwana akamwambia, Kwa sababu hiyo ye yote atakayemwua Kaini atalipizwa kisasi mara saba. Bwana akamtia Kaini alama, mtu amwonaye asije akampiga.
16 And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.
Kaini akatoka mbele za uso wa Bwana, akakaa katika nchi ya Nodi, mbele ya Edeni.
17 And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch.
Kaini akamjua mkewe; naye akapata mimba, akamzaa Henoko; akajenga mji akauita Henoko, kwa jina la mwanawe.
18 And unto Enoch was born Irad: and Irad begat Mehujael: and Mehujael begat Methusael: and Methusael begat Lamech.
Henoko akamzaa Iradi, Iradi akamzaa Mehuyaeli; Mehuyaeli akamzaa Methushaeli; Methushaeli akamzaa Lameki.
19 And Lamech took unto him two wives: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah.
Lameki akajitwalia wake wawili, jina la wa kwanza ni Ada, na jina la wa pili ni Sila.
20 And Adah bare Jabal: he was the father of such as dwell in tents, and of such as have cattle.
Ada akamzaa Yabali; huyo ndiye baba yao wakaao katika hema na kufuga wanyama.
21 And his brother's name was Jubal: he was the father of all such as handle the harp and organ.
Na jina la nduguye aliitwa Yubali; huyo ndiye baba yao wapigao kinubi na filimbi.
22 And Zillah, she also bare Tubal-cain, an instructer of every artificer in brass and iron: and the sister of Tubal-cain was Naamah.
Sila naye akamzaa Tubal-kaini, mfua kila chombo cha kukatia, cha shaba na cha chuma; na umbu lake Tubal-kaini alikuwa Naama.
23 And Lamech said unto his wives,
Adah and Zillah, Hear my voice;
Ye wives of Lamech, hearken unto my speech:
For I have slain a man to my wounding,
And a young man to my hurt.
Lameki akawaambia wake zake, Sikieni sauti yangu, Ada na Sila; Enyi wake za Lameki, sikilizeni usemi wangu; Maana nimemwua mtu kwa kunitia jeraha; Kijana kwa kunichubua;
24 If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold,
Truly Lamech seventy and sevenfold.
Kama Kaini akilipiwa kisasi mara saba, Hakika Lameki atalipiwa mara sabini na saba.
25 And Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son, and called his name Seth: For God, said she , hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew.
Adamu akamjua mke wake tena; akazaa mwana mwanamume, akamwita jina lake Sethi; maana alisema, Mungu ameniwekea uzao mwingine mahali pa Habili; kwa sababu Kaini alimwua.
26 And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enos: then began men to call upon the name of the LORD.
Sethi naye akazaa mwana; akamwita jina lake Enoshi. Hapo ndipo watu walipoanza kuliitia Jina la Bwana.
