¹And Man knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bore Cain, and said, I have acquired a man with Jehovah.

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 further bore his brother Abel. And Abel was a shepherd, but Cain was a husbandman.

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 to Jehovah.

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 their fat. And Jehovah looked upon Abel, and on his offering;

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

⁵and upon Cain, and on his offering, he did not look. And Cain was very angry, and his countenance fell.

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

⁶And Jehovah said to Cain, Why art thou angry, 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, will not [thy countenance] look up [with confidence]? 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 spoke to 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 Jehovah said to 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 is crying to me from the ground.

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

¹¹And now be thou cursed from the ground, which hath opened its 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 thee its strength; a wanderer and fugitive shalt thou be on 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 to Jehovah, My punishment is too great to be borne.

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

¹⁴Behold, thou hast driven me this day from the face of the ground, and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a wanderer and fugitive on the earth; and it will come to pass, [that] every one who finds me will 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 Jehovah said to him, Therefore, whoever slayeth Cain, it shall be revenged sevenfold. And Jehovah set a mark on Cain, lest any finding him should smite 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 Jehovah, and dwelt in the land of Nod, toward 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 bore Enoch. And he built a city; and he 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 to Enoch was born Irad; and Irad begot Mehujael; and Mehujael begot Methushael; and Methushael begot Lemech.

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

¹⁹And Lemech took two wives: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the second, Zillah.

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

²⁰And Adah bore Jabal: he was the father of those who dwell in tents, and [breed] 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 those who handle the harp and pipe.

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

²²And Zillah, she also bore Tubal-Cain, the forger of every kind of tool of brass and iron. And the sister of Tubal-Cain 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 Lemech said to his wives: Adah and Zillah, hear my voice, Ye wives of Lemech, listen to my speech. For I have slain a man for my wound, and a youth for my bruise.

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 seven-fold; Lemech seventy and seven fold.

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 bore a son, and called his name Seth: ... For God has appointed me another seed instead of Abel, because Cain has slain him.

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 was born a son; and he called his name Enosh. Then people began to call on the name of Jehovah.

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