¹And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD.

¹[Ny amin'i Kaina sy Abela] Ary Adama nahalala an'i Eva vadiny; dia nanan'anaka Eva ka niteraka an'i Kaina, ary hoy izy: Efa nahazo zazalahy tamin'i Jehovah aho.

²And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.

²Ary niteraka an'i Abela rahalahiny koa izy. Ary Abela dia mpiandry ondry, fa Kaina kosa mpiasa tany.

³And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD.

³Ary rehefa afaka elaela, dia nitondran'i Kaina ny vokatry ny tany ho fanatitra ho an'i Jehovah;

⁴And 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:

⁴fa nitondran'i Abela kosa ny voalohan-terak'ondriny, dia izay matavy. Ary Jehovah nankasitraka an'i Abela mbamin'ny fanatiny;

⁵But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.

⁵fa Kaina mbamin'ny fanatiny kosa tsy mba nankasitrahany. Dia tezitra indrindra Kaina, sady nanjombona ny tarehiny.

⁶And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen?

⁶Ary hoy Jehovah tamin'i Kaina: Nahoana no tezitra ianao? Ary nahoana no manjombona ny tarehinao?

⁷If 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.

⁷Raha tsara toetra ianao, moa tsy ho miramirana va? Fa raha tsy tsara toetra kosa ianao, dia mamitsaka eo am-baravarana ny ota; ary ianao no kendren'ny faniriany, kanefa ianao no tokony hanapaka azy.

⁸And 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.

⁸Ary Kaina niteny tamin'i Abela rahalahiny; ary nony tany an-tsaha izy mirahalahy, dia nitsangana Kaina nanatona an'i Abela rahalahiny, ka namono azy.

⁹And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother's keeper?

⁹Ary hoy Jehovah tamin'i Kaina: Aiza Abela rahalahinao? Fa hoy izy: Asa; moa mpitandrina ny rahalahiko va aho?

¹⁰And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground.

¹⁰Ary hoy Izy: Inona no nataonao? Ny feon'ny ran'ny rahalahinao mitaraina amiko avy amin'ny tany.

¹¹And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand;

¹¹Ary ankehitriny dia voaozona ianao hiala amin'ny tany onenana, izay nivava hitelina ny ran'ny rahalahinao nalatsaky ny tananao.

¹²When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth.

¹²Raha miasa ny tany ianao, tsy mba hahavokatra ho anao intsony izy; ho mpanjenjena sy mpirenireny eny ambonin'ny tany ianao.

¹³And Cain said unto the LORD, My punishment is greater than I can bear.

¹³Dia hoy Kaina tamin'i Jehovah: Lehibe ny valin'ny heloko mihoatra noho izay zakako.

¹⁴Behold, 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.

¹⁴Indro, efa noroahinao hiala amin'ny tany onenana aho androany; dia hiery ny tavanao aho ary ho mpanjenjena sy mpirenireny eny ambonin'ny tany; koa na iza na iza hahita ahy dia hamono ahy.

¹⁵And 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.

¹⁵Ary hoy Jehovah taminy: Noho izany na iza na iza hamono an'i Kaina, dia hovaliana fito eny izy. Ary Jehovah nanao famantarana ho an'i Kaina; mba tsy hisy hamono azy izay rehetra hahita azy.

¹⁶And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.

¹⁶Ary Kaina dia niala teo anatrehan'i Jehovah ka nonina tao amin'ny tany Noda tandrifin'i Edena.

¹⁷And 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.

¹⁷[Ny taranak'i Kaina, sy ny nahaterahan'i Seta] Ary Kaina nahalala ny vadiny, dia nanan'anaka ravehivavy ka niteraka an'i Enoka; ary nanorina vohitra Kaina, ka ny anaran'ny vohitra dia nataony hoe Enoka, araka ny anaran'ny zananilahy.

¹⁸And unto Enoch was born Irad: and Irad begat Mehujael: and Mehujael begat Methusael: and Methusael begat Lamech.

¹⁸Ary Enoka niteraka an'Irada; ary Irada niteraka an'i Mehojaela; ary Mehojaela niteraka an'i Metosaela; ary Metosaela niteraka an'i Lameka.

¹⁹And Lamech took unto him two wives: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah.

¹⁹Ary Lameka nampirafy roa: ny anaran'ny anankiray Ada, ary ny anaran'ny anankiray Zila.

²⁰And Adah bare Jabal: he was the father of such as dwell in tents, and of such as have cattle.

²⁰Ary Ada niteraka an'i Jabala; izy no rain'ny mpitoetra an-day, mpiandry omby aman'ondry.

²¹And his brother's name was Jubal: he was the father of all such as handle the harp and organ.

²¹Ary ny anaran'ny rahalahiny dia Jobala; izy no rain'ny mpitendry lokanga sy mpitsoka sodina rehetra.

²²And Zillah, she also bare Tubalcain, an instructer of every artificer in brass and iron: and the sister of Tubalcain was Naamah.

²²Ary Zila kosa niteraka an'i Tobala-kaina, mpanefy fiasana maranitra, na varahina na vy; ary ny anabavin'i Tobala-kaina dia Nama.

²³And 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.

²³Ary hoy Lameka tamin'ny vadiny: Ry Ada sy Zila ô, mihainoa ny feoko; Ry vadin'i Lameka, mitandrema ny teniko: Efa namono lehilahy aho noho ny feriko, Ary tovolahy noho ny faharatrako.

²⁴If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, truly Lamech seventy and sevenfold.

²⁴Raha valiana fito heny izay mamono an'i Kaina, Dia fito amby fito-polo heny kosa izay mamono an'i Lameka.

²⁵And 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.

²⁵Ary Adama nahalala ny vadiny indray, ka dia niteraka zazalahy ravehivavy; ary ny anarany nataony hoe Seta; fa Andriamanitra, hoy izy, efa nanome ahy zanaka anankiray koa ho solon'i Abela, satria novonoin'i Kaina izy.Ary Seta koa niteraka zazalahy; ary ny anarany nataony hoe Enosy.

²⁶And 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.

²⁶Ary Seta koa niteraka zazalahy; ary ny anarany nataony hoe Enosy.
