4 Kabiji Adama walaajile na mukazhanji aye Evwa, ne aye waimichile.+ Byo asemene Kaina,+ waambile’mba: “Nasema mwana wa mulume na bukwasho bwa Yehoba.” 2 Kabiji mu kuya kwa moba, wasemene Abela nkasanji.+
Abela wajinga kafunga wa mikooko, pakuba Kaina wajinga njimi. 3 Pa kupitapo moba, Kaina waletele bipangwa bimo bya mu bujimi kwikala mulambo kwi Yehoba. 4 Bino Abela waletele babeji ba mu jitanga janji+ banuna. Yehoba watemenwe Abela ne kuswa mulambo wanji,+ 5 pakuba Kaina kechi wamutemenwe ne, ne mulambo wanji kechi wamuswile ne. Onkao mambo, Kaina wazhingijile bingi ne kumvwa ku muchima kutama.* 6 Kepo Yehoba ashikishe Kaina amba: “Mambo ka o wazhingijila ne kumvwa ku muchima kutama? 7 Umvwe ube byawama, nanchi kechi nsakukutemwa* nenyi? Pakuba inge ubule kuba byawama, bubi bwa kubelamina ku kibelo, kabiji bubena kukeba kukukwata buzha; nanchi wakonsha kwibushinda nyi?”
8 Kepo Kaina aambijile nkasanji aye Abela amba: “Twaya tuye mungye.” Byo bakijinga mungye, Kaina wavundumukijile nkasanji aye Abela ne kumwipaya.+ 9 Kepo Yehoba ashikishe Kaina amba: “Nkasobe Abela uji kwepi?” Aye wakumbwile’mba: “Kechi nayuka ne. Nanchi yami ndama nkasami nyi?” 10 Ponkapo Lesa wamwambijile’mba: “Ñanyi kintu kyo wauba? Umvwa, mashi a nkasobe aji mu mushiji abena kunjijila.+ 11 Pano wafingwa kabiji nakupanga ufume ku mushiji waji kwasama ne kutambula mashi a nkasobe o waichila.+ 12 Byo ukajima pa uno mushiji, kechi ukakumeneshesha kajo* ne. Obewa ukasusutangatu kabiji ukekala kapitemo pano pa ntanda.” 13 Ponkapo Kaina waambijile Yehoba amba: “Lukabisho lwa mambo ami lwambayila. 14 Lelo jino mwampanga kufuma ku uno mushiji, kabiji kechi nkamweka kwi anweba ne; nkasusutangatu ne kwikala kapitemo pano pa ntanda kabiji yense ukantaana kine ukangipaya.” 15 Onkao mambo, Yehoba wamwambijile’mba: “Na mambo a kino, yense ukepaya Kaina bakashinkanya nanji jitanu na jibiji.”
Onkao mambo, Yehoba wabikile* kayukilo pe Kaina kuchina’mba muntu ukamutaana wakamwipaya. 16 Kepo Kaina afumineko kwi Yehoba ne kuya na kwikala mu kyalo Kingi* kyajinga ku musela wa bujimi bwa Edena.+
17 Palutwe kacheche, Kaina walaajile na mukazhanji,+ ne aye waimichile ne kusema Enoka. Kabiji Kaina washimikile muzhi mukatampe ne kumutumba jizhina ja mwananji amba Enoka. 18 Kabiji Enoka wasemene Iladi. Iladi wasemene Mehuyaela, ne Mehuyaela wasemene Metusaela kabiji Metusaela wasemene Lameki.
19 Lameki wasongwele banabakazhi babiji. Jizhina ja mwanamukazhi mutanshi wajinga Ada ne wa bubiji wajinga Zila. 20 Ada wasemene Yabela. Yabela ye wajinga mutanshi kwikala mu matente ne kwikala na banyama ba kulela. 21 Nkasanji wajinga Yubala. Yubala ye wajinga mutanshi kwimba pa kyansa ne mumpempe.* 22 Zila naye wasemene Tubalakena wabundanga bingijisho byonse bya mukuba ne kapotwe. Kabiji nyenga ya kwa Tubalakena wajinga Naama. 23 Kabiji Lameki waambijile bakazhi banji ba Ada ne Zila amba:
“Umvwai jiwi jami anweba ba muka Lameki;
Telekai byo mbena kwamba:
Naipaya muntu na mambo a kunkozha,
Nsongwalume na mambo a kumpuma.
24 Inge kya kuba Kaina bakamushinkenya bimye bitanu na bibiji,+
Ko kuba’mba Lameki bakamushinkenya bimye 77.”
25 Adama walaajile jikwabo na mukazhanji, ne aye wasemene mwana wa mulume. Wamutumbile’mba Seta,*+ mambo waambile’mba, “Lesa wampa mwana* mukwabo wa kupingakena pe Abela, mambo Kaina wamwipayile.”+ 26 Kabiji Seta naye wasemene mwana wa mulume ne kumutumba’mba Enoshi.+ Pa kyonkakya kimye, bantu batatwile kwita pa jizhina ja Yehoba.
