Genesis

4 Afei Adam ne ne yere Hawa daeɛ, na ɔnyinsɛn+ woo Kain.+ Na ne yere kaa sɛ: “Yehowa aboa me ama mawo* ɔbabarima.” 2 Akyire yi, ɔwoo ne nua Habel+ kaa ne ho.

Habel bɛyɛɛ odwanhwɛfoɔ, na Kain nso bɛyɛɛ okuafoɔ. 3 Berɛ bi akyi no, Kain de asaase so nnɔbaeɛ bɛbɔɔ afɔreɛ maa Yehowa. 4 Habel deɛ, ɔyii ne nnwan mu mmakan+ no bi na ɔde wɔn sradeɛ kaa ho bɛbɔɔ afɔreɛ. Yehowa ani sɔɔ Habel ne n’afɔreɛ no,+ 5 nanso Kain ne n’afɔreɛ no deɛ, n’ani ansɔ. Afei Kain bo fuu dendeenden na ɔmunaeɛ.* 6 Ɛnna Yehowa bisaa Kain sɛ: “Adɛn nti na wo bo afu na woamuna saa? 7 Sɛ wosakra yɛ papa a, merennye wo ntom* anaa? Nanso sɛ woansakra anyɛ papa a, ɛnneɛ bɔne butu wo pono ano, na ɛrepɛ adi wo so; adɛn na wonni so nkonim?”

8 Wei akyi no, Kain ka kyerɛɛ ne nua Habel sɛ: “Ma yɛnkɔ wuram.” Wɔkɔɔ hɔ no, Kain to hyɛɛ ne nua Habel so kuu no.+ 9 Akyire yi, Yehowa bisaa Kain sɛ: “Wo nua Habel wɔ he?” Ɛnna ɔbuaa sɛ: “Mennim. Adɛn, me na mehwɛ me nua no so anaa?” 10 Ɛnna Onyankopɔn kaa sɛ: “Ɛdeɛn na woayɛ yi? Tie! Wo nua no mogya firi asaase so reteam frɛ me.+ 11 Ɛno nti asaase a ɛbuee n’anom gyee wo nua no mogya firii wo nsam no, wɔadome wo atwa wo asu afiri so.+ 12 Sɛ wodɔ asaase no a, ɛremma wo ne nnɔbaeɛ.* Wobɛyɛ ɔkobɔfoɔ abɔ asesa wɔ asaase so.” 13 Ɛnna Kain ka kyerɛɛ Yehowa sɛ: “Me bɔne ho asotwe so ma me dodo sɛ mɛsoa. 14 Ɛnnɛ woretwa me asu afiri asaase yi so, na mɛhinta afiri w’anim; mɛyɛ ɔkobɔfoɔ abɔ asesa wɔ asaase so, na obiara a ɔbɛhu me no bɛku me.” 15 Afei Yehowa ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ: “Ɛno nti obiara a ɔbɛku Kain no bɛnya so akatua mprɛ nson.”

Ɛnna Yehowa yɛɛ sɛnkyerɛnne bi maa Kain na obiara a ɔbɛhu no no amfa ne nsa anka no. 16 Afei Kain firii Yehowa anim kɔtenaa Akobɔfoɔ asaase* so wɔ Eden apueeɛ.+

17 Akyire yi, Kain ne ne yere+ dae na ɔnyinsɛn woo Enok. Na ɔkyekyeree kuro bi de ne ba Enok din too so. 18 Wei akyi no, Enok woo Irad, na Irad woo Mehuyael, na Mehuyael woo Metusael, na Metusael woo Lamek.

19 Lamek waree mmaa mmienu. Deɛ ɔdi kan no din de Ada, na deɛ ɔtɔ so mmienu no din de Sila. 20 Ada woo Yabal. Ɔno ne onipa a ɔdii kan tenaa ntomadan mu yɛn mmoa. 21 Ne nua din de Yubal. Ɔno ne onipa a ɔdi kan wɔ asankubɔfoɔ ne mmɛnhyɛnfoɔ* nyinaa mu. 22 Sila nso woo Tubal-Kain, na na ɔyɛ ɔtomfoɔ a ɔde kɔbere ne nnadeɛ yɛ nneɛma bebree. Ná Tubal-Kain nuabaa din de Naama. 23 Afei Lamek nwenee nsɛm maa ne yere Ada ne ne yere Sila; ɔkaa sɛ:

24 Deɛ ɔbɛku Kain no, sɛ mprɛ 7 na wɔbɛtua ne so ka a,+

Ɛnneɛ deɛ ɔbɛku Lamek no, wɔbɛtua ne so ka mprɛ 77.”

25 Adam san ne ne yere daeɛ, na ɔwoo ɔbabarima. Ne yere too ne din Set,*+ ɛfiri sɛ ɔkaa sɛ: “Onyankopɔn ama me ba* foforɔ asi Habel a Kain kuu no+ no anan.” 26 Set nso woo ɔbabarima na ɔtoo ne din Enos.+ Saa berɛ no na wɔfirii aseɛ bɔɔ Yehowa din.
