Kain Ne Habel Afɔrebɔ
1Afei, Adam de ne ho kaa ne yere Hawa ma ɔnyinsɛne woo abarimaa a wɔfrɛ no Kain. Na ɔkaa sɛ, Awurade adaworoma, mawo ɔbabarima. 2Akyire no, ɔsane woo nʼakyiri ɔbabarima too no edin Habel.
Na Habel bɛyɛɛ odwanhwɛfoɔ, ɛnna Kain nso bɛyɛɛ okuafoɔ. 3Nna bi akyiri, Kain de nʼafuom nnɔbaeɛ bi kɔbɔɔ Awurade afɔdeɛ. 4Habel nso de ne nyɛmmoa no mu mmakan a wɔadɔre sradeɛ kɔbɔɔ Onyankopɔn afɔdeɛ. Awurade ani sɔɔ Habel afɔrebɔdeɛ no. 5Nanso Kain afɔrebɔdeɛ no deɛ, nʼani ansɔ. Asɛm no anyɛ Kain dɛ, na ne bo fuiɛ.
6Awurade bisaa Kain sɛ, “Adɛn enti na wo bo afuo? Adɛn enti na woamuna saa? 7Sɛ woyɛ ade pa a, wɔbɛgye wo atom. Sɛ wonyɛ ade pa deɛ a, ɛnneɛ, hwɛ yie. Ɛfiri sɛ, bɔne retwɛn ako atia wo, asɛe wo, nanso ɛsɛ sɛ wodi ne so.”
Kain Kum Habel
8Ɛda bi Kain ka kyerɛɛ ne nua Habel sɛ, “Ma yɛnkɔ afuom.” Ɛberɛ a wɔwɔ afuom hɔ no, Kain to hyɛɛ ne nua Habel so, kumm no.
9Awurade bisaa Kain sɛ, “Wo nua Habel wɔ he?”
Kain buaa sɛ, “Mennim. Mɛyɛ dɛn mahunu? Me na mehwɛ me nua no so anaa?”
10Awurade bisaa Kain sɛ, “Ɛdeɛn na woayɛ yi? Tie! Wo nua mogya su firi asase so frɛ me. 11Seesei, wɔadome wo, apamo wo afiri asase a ɛbuee nʼano gyee wo nua mogya firii wo nsam no so. 12Sɛ woyɛ asase no so adwuma sɛ ɛdeɛn ara a, worennya nnɔbaeɛ biara mfiri so. Wobɛyɛ ɔkobɔfoɔ, akyinkyin asase so.”
13Kain kaa sɛ, “Awurade mʼasotweɛ boro me so. 14Ɛnnɛ, woapam me afiri asase so ne wʼanim. Mɛyɛ ɔkobɔfoɔ akyinkyin asase so na obiara a ɔbɛnya me no bɛkum me.”
15Nanso, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Ɛnte saa koraa! Obiara a ɔbɛkum Kain no bɛnya Kain asotwe no mprɛnson.” Afei, Awurade hyɛɛ Kain agyiraeɛ bi sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, obiara a ɔbɛhyia no no renkum no. 16Enti, Kain dwane firii Awurade anim, kɔtenaa Nod asase so wɔ Eden apueeɛ fam.
Anibue Ahyɛaseɛ
17Kain de ne ho kaa ne yere na ɔnyinsɛnee, woo ɔbabarima, too no edin Henok. Saa ɛberɛ no, Kain kyekyeree kuro bi de too ne ba Henok. 18Henok woo Irad. Irad woo Mehuyael. Mehuyael woo Metusael. Metusael woo Lamek.
19Lamek waree mmaa baanu a wɔn din de Ada ne Sila. 20Ada woo Yabal a nʼasefoɔ yɛ wɔn a wɔte ntomadan mu yɛn mmoa. 21Na Yabal nuabarima din de Yubal a nʼasefoɔ yɛ mmɛnhyɛnfoɔ ne asankubɔfoɔ. 22Sila woo ɔbabarima a wɔfrɛ no Tubal-Kain. Na ɔyɛ kɔbere dwumfoɔ ne nnadeɛ ahodoɔ nyinaa atomfoɔ agya. Na Tubal-Kain wɔ nuabaa bi a ne din de Naama.
23Ɛda bi Lamek ka kyerɛɛ ne yerenom Ada ne Sila sɛ,
“Montie me, me yerenom
makum aberanteɛ bi a,
ɔto hyɛɛ me so, piraa me.
24Sɛ Kain so aweretɔ bɛyɛ mprɛnson a,
ɛnneɛ, me Lamek, deɛ ɔbɛkum me no, nʼasotwe bɛyɛ mpɛn aduɔson nson.”
25Akyire yi, Adam de ne ho kaa ne yere Hawa. Na ɔwoo ɔbabarima bio. Na wɔtoo no edin Set kaa sɛ, “Onyankopɔn ama me ɔba foforɔ asi Habel a Kain kumm no no ananmu.” 26Set nso woo ɔbabarima na ɔtoo no edin Enos.
Saa ɛberɛ no mu na nnipa hyɛɛ aseɛ bɔɔ Awurade edin.
Kaini na Habili
14:1 Kĩam 2:20; Ahib 11:4Nake Adamu agĩkoma na mũtumia wake Hawa, nake akĩgĩa nda, agĩciara Kaini. Nake akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ndĩkũgĩa na mwana wa kahĩĩ nĩ ũndũ wa gũteithio nĩ Jehova.” 24:2 Math 23:35; Luk 11:51Thuutha ũcio agĩciara Habili, mũrũ wa nyina.
Habili aarĩ mũrĩithi wa mbũri nake Kaini aarĩ mũrĩmi. 34:3 Alaw 2:1-2; Isa 43:23Maikarĩte kwa ihinda-rĩ, Kaini akĩrehe maciaro mamwe ma mũgũnda marĩ igongona kũrĩ Jehova. 44:4 Thaam 13:12; Ahib 11:4No Habili akĩrehe marigithathi mamwe marĩa manoru ma rũũru rwake. Nake Jehova agĩkenio nĩ Habili na igongona rĩake, 5no ndaakenirio nĩ Kaini na igongona rĩake. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Kaini akĩrakara mũno, na agĩtukia gĩthiithi.
64:6 Jon 4:4Nake Jehova Ngai akĩũria Kaini atĩrĩ, “Ũrakarĩte nĩkĩ? Na nĩ kĩĩ gĩtũmĩte ũtukie gĩthiithi? 74:7 Kĩam 44:16Ũngĩka ũrĩa kwagĩrĩire-rĩ, no wage gwĩtĩkĩrĩka? No ũngĩaga gwĩka ũrĩa kwagĩrĩire-rĩ, mehia makuoheirie mũrango-inĩ waku makĩenda gũgwatha; no wee no nginya ũmatoorie.”
84:8 Math 23:35; 1Joh 3:12Thuutha ũcio Kaini akĩĩra mũrũ wa nyina Habili atĩrĩ, “Nĩtumagare tũthiĩ mũgũnda.” Na rĩrĩa maarĩ kũu mũgũnda, Kaini agĩtharĩkĩra mũrũ wa nyina Habili, akĩmũũraga.
94:9 Kĩam 3:9; Joh 8:44Nake Jehova akĩũria Kaini atĩrĩ, “Arĩ ha mũrũ-wa-nyũkwa Habili?”
Nake akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Niĩ ndiũĩ, kaĩ arĩ niĩ mũmenyereri wa mũrũ-wa-maitũ?”
104:10 Kĩam 9:5; Ahib 12:24Jehova akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ atĩa wĩkĩte? Ta thikĩrĩria! Thakame ya mũrũ-wa-nyũkwa nĩĩrangaĩra ĩrĩ tĩĩri-inĩ. 114:11 Gũcook 11:28; 2Ath 2:24Na rĩrĩ, nĩũgwatĩtwo nĩ kĩrumi na ũkaingatwo mũgũnda ũrĩa waathamirie kanua kaguo kwamũkĩra thakame ya mũrũ-wa-nyũkwa kuuma guoko-inĩ gwaku. 124:12 Thab 37:25; Gũcook 28:15-24Rĩrĩa ũrĩũrĩmaga-rĩ, ndũgacooka gũgũciarĩra maciaro maguo. Ũgũtuĩka mũndũ ũtakindagĩria, wa kũũrũũraga gũkũ thĩ.”
13Nake Kaini akĩĩra Jehova atĩrĩ, “Iherithia rĩakwa nĩ inene gũkĩra ũrĩa ingĩhota gwĩtiiria. 144:14 Thab 51:11; Ndar 35:19, 21, 27, 33Ũmũthĩ ũyũ nĩũranyingata kuuma mũgũnda ũyũ na ndũũre hithĩtwo ũthiũ waku; ngũtuĩka mũndũ ũtakindagĩria, wa kũũrũũraga gũkũ thĩ, na ũrĩa wothe ũkaanyona nĩakanjũraga.”
154:15 Ezek 9:4, 6; Alaw 26:21No Jehova akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Aca, ti ũguo; mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ angĩkooraga Kaini, nĩakarĩhio maita mũgwanja.” Jehova agĩcooka agĩĩkĩra Kaini rũũri nĩgeetha ũrĩa wothe ũngĩmuona ndakamũũrage! 164:16 Jud 1:11Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Kaini akĩehera akiuma harĩ Jehova, na agĩtũũra bũrũri-inĩ wa Nodu, mwena wa irathĩro rĩa Edeni.
174:17 Thab 55:9Kaini agĩkoma na mũtumia wake, na akĩgĩa nda, agĩciara Enoku. Hĩndĩ ĩyo Kaini nĩakaga itũũra inene, na aarĩkia kũrĩaka, akĩrĩĩta Enoku o ta ũrĩa mũriũ eetagwo. 18Nake Enoku agĩciarĩrwo Iradu, nake Iradu aarĩ ithe wa Mehujaeli, nake Mehujaeli aarĩ ithe wa Methushaeli, nake Methushaeli aarĩ ithe wa Lameku.
194:19 Kĩam 6:2Lameku ũcio akĩhikia andũ-a-nja eerĩ, ũmwe eetagwo Ada na ũrĩa ũngĩ eetagwo Zila. 20Ada agĩciara Jabali; na nĩwe ithe wa andũ arĩa matũũraga hema-inĩ na marĩithagia mahiũ. 214:21 1Sam 16:16Mũrũ-wa nyina eetagwo Jubali; nake nĩwe ithe wa andũ arĩa othe mahũũraga inanda cia mũgeeto na makahuha mĩtũrirũ. 224:22 Thaam 35:35Zila o nake aarĩ na mũriũ, nake eetagwo Tubali-Kaini, na nĩwe waturaga indo cia mĩthemba yothe cia gĩcango na cia kĩgera. Tubali-Kaini aarĩ na mwarĩ wa nyina wetagwo Naama.
234:23 Kĩam 9:5-6Lameku akĩĩra atumia ake atĩrĩ,
“Ada na Zila, taa thikĩrĩriai;
inyuĩ atumia a Lameku, ta iguai ciugo ciakwa.
Nĩnjũragĩte mũndũ nĩ ũndũ wa kũndiihia,
ngooraga mũndũ mwĩthĩ nĩ ũndũ wa kũnguraria.
244:24 Isa 35:4; Jer 51:56Angĩkorwo Kaini arĩhagĩrio maita mũgwanja-rĩ,
Lameku nake akarĩhĩrio maita mĩrongo mũgwanja na mũgwanja.”
254:25 Kĩam 5:3; 1Maũ 1:1Nake Adamu agĩkoma na mũtumia wake rĩngĩ, nake agĩciara kaana ga kahĩĩ, na agĩgatua Sethi, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ngai nĩaheete mwana ũngĩ handũ ha Habili, ũrĩa Kaini ooragire.” 264:26 Joel 2:32; Zef 3:9Sethi o nake aarĩ na mũriũ wake, nake akĩmũtua rĩĩtwa Enoshu.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩrĩo andũ mambĩrĩirie gũkaĩra rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova.
