Intangiriro
4 Nuko Adamu agirana imibonano mpuzabitsina n’umugore we Eva hanyuma aratwita.+ Uwo mugore amaze kubyara Kayini+ aravuga ati: “Yehova aramfashije none mbyaye umwana w’umuhungu.” 2 Nyuma yaho uwo mugore abyara undi mwana amwita Abeli.+
Abeli yaragiraga intama naho Kayini yari umuhinzi. 3 Hashize igihe, Kayini azana bimwe mu byo yari yejeje kugira ngo abiture Yehova. 4 Abeli na we azana ku matungo yavutse bwa mbere mu mukumbi+ we, ayatambana n’ibinure byayo. Nuko Yehova yishimira Abeli kandi yemera ituro rye,+ 5 ariko ntiyishimira Kayini kandi ntiyemera ituro rye. Kayini ararakara cyane, mu maso he harijima. 6 Yehova abibonye abaza Kayini ati: “Ni iki gitumye urakara cyane kandi mu maso hawe hakijima? 7 Nuhinduka ugakora ibyiza uzemerwa. Ariko nudahinduka ngo ukore ibyiza, icyaha kigutegeye ku muryango kandi ni wowe gishaka. Ubwo rero, ugomba kukirwanya ukagitsinda.”
8 Nyuma y’ibyo Kayini abwira murumuna we Abeli ati: “Ngwino tujye mu murima.” Nuko igihe bari bari mu murima, Kayini asimbukira murumuna we Abeli aramwica.+ 9 Nyuma yaho Yehova abaza Kayini ati: “Murumuna wawe Abeli ari he?” Na we aramusubiza ati: “Simbizi. Ese nshinzwe kurinda murumuna wanjye?” 10 Nuko aramubwira ati: “Ibyo wakoze ni ibiki? Umva! Amaraso ya murumuna wawe wamennye ku butaka ni nk’aho antakira.+ 11 Ubu ubaye igicibwa kandi wirukanywe aha hantu* kuko ari ho wavushirije amaraso ya murumuna wawe.+ 12 Nuhinga ubutaka ntibuzera cyane.* Uzaba inzererezi n’impunzi mu isi.” 13 Nuko Kayini abwira Yehova ati: “Kwihanganira igihano umpaye kubera icyaha cyanjye, biragoye cyane. 14 Dore uyu munsi unyirukanye aha hantu kandi sinzongera kuba hafi yawe. Nzaba inzererezi n’impunzi ku isi kandi uzambona wese azanyica.” 15 Nuko Yehova aramubwira ati: “Kubera iyo mpamvu, uzica Kayini wese azabyishyura inshuro zirindwi.”
Yehova ashyiriraho Kayini ikimenyetso* kugira ngo hatazagira umubona akamwica. 16 Kayini ava imbere ya Yehova ajya gutura mu gihugu cy’Ubuhungiro* mu burasirazuba bwa Edeni.+
17 Nyuma y’ibyo Kayini agirana imibonano mpuzabitsina n’umugore we,+ aratwita maze abyara Henoki. Hanyuma Kayini atangira kubaka umujyi, awitirira umuhungu we Henoki. 18 Nyuma yaho Henoki abyara Iradi. Iradi abyara Mehuyayeli, Mehuyayeli abyara Metushayeli, Metushayeli na we abyara Lameki.
19 Lameki yashatse abagore babiri. Uwa mbere yitwaga Ada, uwa kabiri akitwa Zila. 20 Ada yabyaye Yabali. Uwo ni we abatuye mu mahema bafite n’amatungo bakomotseho. 21 Umuvandimwe we yitwaga Yubali. Uwo ni we abacuranga inanga n’abavuza imyirongi bose bakomotseho. 22 Naho Zila yabyaye Tubali-kayini, akaba yarakoraga* ibikoresho by’ubwoko bwose byo mu muringa n’iby’icyuma. Mushiki wa Tubali-kayini yitwaga Nama. 23 Nuko Lameki ahimbira abagore be, Ada na Zila, uyu muvugo ugira uti:
“Nimunyumve yemwe bagore ba Lameki,
Nimutege amatwi ibyo mvuga:
Nishe umugabo muziza kunkomeretsa,
Yee, nishe umusore muziza kunkubita.
25 Adamu yongera kugirana imibonano mpuzabitsina n’umugore we, maze abyara umwana w’umuhungu amwita Seti,*+ kuko umugore we yavuze ati: “Imana impaye undi muhungu wo gusimbura Abeli bitewe n’uko Kayini yamwishe.”+ 26 Seti na we yabyaye umwana w’umuhungu amwita Enoshi.+ Icyo gihe ni bwo abantu batangiye kwambaza izina rya Yehova.
