Genesis 4

And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD.

Na ka mohio a Arama ki a Iwi, ki tana wahine; a ka hapu ia, a ka whanau a Kaina; na ka mea ia, Kua whakawhiwhia mai ahau e Ihowa ki tetahi tangata.

And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.

Na ka whanau ano tona teina, a Apera. Na he kaiwhangai hipi a Apera, ko Kaina ia he kaingaki whenua.

And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD.

A, i te mutunga o etahi rangi, ka kawea e Kaina etahi o nga hua o te whenua hei whakahere ki a Ihowa.

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:

Me Apera hoki, i kawea e ia etahi o nga whanau matamua o tana kahui, o o ratou ngako hoki. A ka aro a Ihowa ki a Apera, ki tana whakahere:

But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.

Kihai ia i aro ki a Kaina, ki tana whakahere. A he nui rawa te riri o Kaina, a whakapoururu ana tona mata.

And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen?

Na ka mea a Ihowa ki a Kaina, He aha koe i riri ai? a he aha i whakapoururu ai tou mata?

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.

E kore ianei koe e kake, ki te mahi koe i te pai? ki te kahore koe e mahi i te pai, kei te kuwaha te hara e takoto ana. Na ko koe tana e hiahia ai, ko koe ia hei rangatira mona.

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.

Na ka korero a Kaina kia Apera, ki tona teina: a, i a raua i te parae, ka whakatika a Kaina ki a Apera, ki tona teina, a patua iho.

And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother's keeper?

Katahi a Ihowa ka mea ki a Kaina, Kei hea a Apera, tou teina? Ka mea ia, Kahore ahau e mohio. Ko ahau ianei te kaitiaki o toku teina?

And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground.

Na ka mea ia, He mahi aha tenei au? e tangi mai ana te reo o te toto o tou teina ki ahau i roto i te whenua.

And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand;

Na ka kanga koe i runga i te whenua, i hamama nei tona waha hei rerenga atu mo te toto o tou teina i whakahekea nei e tou ringa;

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.

Ka ngaki koe i te oneone, e kore e tukua tona kaha a muri ake nei ki a koe; ka waiho koe hei tangata haereere noa, hei manene i runga i te whenua.

And Cain said unto the LORD, My punishment is greater than I can bear.

Na ka mea a Kaina ki a Ihowa, He nui rawa te whiu mo toku kino, e kore e taea e ahau.

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.

Titiro hoki, ka peia ahau e koe inaianei i te mata o te whenua; a ka ngaro i tou kanohi; ka waiho hoki ahau hei tangata haereere noa, hei manene i runga i te whenua; a tenei ake, ki te tutaki tetahi tangata ki ahau, na ka patua ahau e ia.

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.

Na ka mea a Ihowa ki a ia, Na reira ki te patu tetahi i a Kaina, e whitu nga utu e rapua i a ia. Na ka homai e Ihowa he tohu ki a Kaina, kei patua ia e tetahi tangata ina tutaki ki a ia.

And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.

Na ka haere atu a Kaina i te aroaro o Ihowa, a noho ana i te whenua o Noro, i te taha ki te rawhiti o Erene.

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.

Na ka mohio a Kaina ki tana wahine; a ka hapu ia, ka whanau a Enoka: na ka hanga ia i tetahi pa, a huaina iho te ingoa o te pa ko Enoka, ko te ingoa o tana tama.

And unto Enoch was born Irad: and Irad begat Mehujael: and Mehujael begat Methusael: and Methusael begat Lamech.

A whanau ake ta Enoka tama ko Irara: na Irara ko Mehutaere: ta Mehutaere ko Metuhare: ta Metuhaere ko Rameka.

And Lamech took unto him two wives: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah.

Na ka tangohia e Rameka etahi wahine tokorua mana: ko Araha te ingoa o tetahi, ko Tira to tetahi.

And Adah bare Jabal: he was the father of such as dwell in tents, and of such as have cattle.

Na ka whanau ta Araha tama ko Iapara: ko ia te matua o te hunga noho teneti, ratou ko nga tangata whangai kararehe.

And his brother's name was Jubal: he was the father of all such as handle the harp and organ.

A ko te ingoa o tona teina ko Iupara: ko ia te matua o nga mea rahurahu ki te hapa, ki te okana.

And Zillah, she also bare Tubal–cain, an instructer of every artificer in brass and iron: and the sister of Tubal–cain was Naamah.

Me Tira ano hoki, whanau ake tana ko Tuparakaina, he kaihanga ia i nga mea tapahi katoa i te mea parahi, i te mea rino: a ko Naama te tuahine o Tuparakaina.

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.

Na ka mea a Rameka ki ana wahine; e Araha raua ko Tira, Whakarongo mai ki toku reo; e nga wahine a Rameka, kia whai taringa mai ki taku kupu: kua patua hoki he tangata e ahau moku i motu, he taitamariki hoki moku i maru:

If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, truly Lamech seventy and sevenfold.

Na mo Kaina e whitu nga utu, ina, kia whitu tekau ma whitu mo Rameka.

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.

A i mohio ano a Arama ki tana wahine; ka whanau tana tama, a huaina iho tona ingoa ko Heta; i mea hoki ia, Ka rite mai nei i te Atua tetahi atu uri moku hei whakakapi mo Apera i patua nei e Kaina.

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.

Me Heta ano hoki, i whanau tana tama; a huaina ana tona ingoa ko Enoha: no reira i timata ai te tangata te karanga ki te ingoa o Ihowa.
