King James Version with Apocrypha
1Pea naʻe ʻilo ʻe ʻAtama ʻa hono uaifi ko ʻIvi; pea tuituʻia ia, pea fanauʻi ʻa Keini, pea pehē ʻe ia, “Kuo u maʻu ha tangata meia Sihova.”
1And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD .
2Pea ne toe fanauʻi ʻa hono tehina ko ʻEpeli. Pea ko e tauhi sipi ʻa ʻEpeli, ka ko e tauhi ngoue ʻa Keini.
2And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.
3Pea ʻi he hokosia ʻae ngaahi ʻaho, naʻe ʻomi ʻe Keini ʻae ngaahi fua ʻoe kelekele, ko e feilaulau kia Sihova.
3And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD .
4Pea naʻe ʻomi foki ʻe ʻEpeli, ʻae veloaki mo ia naʻe ngako ʻi heʻene fanga manu. Pea naʻe leleiʻia ʻa Sihova kia ʻEpeli mo ʻene feilaulau:
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:
5Ka naʻe ʻikai te ne leleiʻia kia Keini mo ʻene feilaulau. Pea naʻe ʻita ʻaupito ʻa Keini, pea kehe hono mata.
5But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.
6Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Keini, “Ko e hā ʻoku ke ʻita ai? Pea ko e hā ʻoku kehe ai ho mata?
6And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen?
7Kapau te ke fai lelei, ʻikai ʻe maʻu koe? Pea ka ʻikai te ke fai lelei, ʻoku ʻi he matapā ʻae angahala. Pea ʻe anganofo ia kiate koe, pea te ke pule kiate ia.”
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.
8Pea naʻe alea ʻa ʻEpeli mo hono tokoua: pea lolotonga ʻena ʻi he ngoue, naʻe tuʻu hake ʻa Keini ki hono tehina ko ʻEpeli, ʻone tāmateʻi ia.
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.
9¶ Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Keini, “Ko e fē ʻa ʻEpeli ko ho tehina?” Pea pehē ʻe ia, “ʻOku ʻikai te u ʻilo: he ko e tauhi au ʻa hoku tokoua?”
9¶ And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother’s keeper?
10Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Ko e hā eni kuo ke fai? ʻOku tangi kiate au mei he kelekele ʻae leʻo ʻoe toto ʻo ho tehina.
10And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother’s blood crieth unto me from the ground.
11Pea ko eni, kuo fakamalaʻia koe mei he kelekele, ʻaia kuo fakamanga hono ngutu ke maʻu mei ho nima ʻae toto ʻoho tehina;
11And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother’s blood from thy hand;
12ʻoka ke ka ngoueʻi ʻae kelekele, ʻe ʻikai tupu lelei kiate koe ʻa hono fua; te ke hoko ko e fehēhēʻaki mo e hehengi ʻi he fonua.”
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.
13Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Keini kia Sihova, “ʻOku lahi hake ʻa hoku tautea ʻi heʻeku faʻa kātaki.
13And Cain said unto the LORD , My punishment is greater than I can bear.
14Vakai, kuo ke kapusi au ʻi he ʻaho ni mei he funga ʻoe fonua; pea ʻe fufū au mei ho fofonga; pea teu fehēhēʻaki mo hehengi ʻi he fonua; pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ko ia kotoa pē ʻoku ʻiloʻi au ʻe tāmateʻi au.”
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.
15Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kiate ia, “Ko ia ia ʻoku ne tāmateʻi ʻa Keini, ʻe tō kiate ia ʻae tautea ʻo liunga fitu.” Pea naʻe ʻai ʻe Sihova ʻae fakaʻilonga kia Keini, telia naʻa ʻilo ia ʻe ha taha, pea tāmateʻi ia.
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.
16¶ Pea naʻe ʻalu atu ʻa Keini mei he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ke nofo ʻi he fonua ko Noti, ʻi he potu hahake ʻo ʻIteni.
16¶ And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD , and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.
17Pea naʻe ʻilo ʻe Keini ʻa hono uaifi, pea tuituʻia ia mo ne fanauʻi ʻa ʻInoke: pea naʻe langa ʻe ia ʻae kolo, pea naʻa ne fakahingoa ʻae kolo ki he hingoa ʻo hono foha ko ʻInoke.
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.
18Pea naʻe fanauʻi kia ʻInoke ʻa ʻIlati pea tupu ʻia ʻIlati ʻa Mihuseale: pea tupu ʻia Mihuseale ʻa Metuseʻeli: pea tupu ʻia Metuseʻeli ʻa Lemeki,
18And unto Enoch was born Irad: and Irad begat Mehujael: and Mehujael begat Methusael: and Methusael begat Lamech.
19¶ Pea naʻe maʻu ʻe Lemeki kiate ia ʻae ongo uaifi: ko e hingoa ʻoe tokotaha ko ʻAta, pea ko e hingoa ʻoe tokotaha ko Sila.
19¶ And Lamech took unto him two wives: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah.
20Pea naʻe fanauʻi ʻe ʻAta ʻa Sepale ko e tamai ia ʻanautolu ʻoku nofo ʻi he ngaahi fale fehikitaki mo tauhi ʻae fanga manu.
20And Adah bare Jabal: he was the father of such as dwell in tents, and of such as have cattle.
21Pea ko e hingoa ʻo hono tokoua ko Supale: ko e tamai ia ʻanautolu kotoa pē ʻoku faiva ʻaki ʻae meʻa tatangi mo e meʻa ʻoku ifi.
21And his brother’s name was Jubal: he was the father of all such as handle the harp and organ.
22Pea fāʻeleʻi foki ʻe Sila ʻa Tupale-Keini, ko e tufunga ʻoe ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ʻi he palasa mo e ukamea; pea ko e tuofefine ʻo Tupale-Keini ko Neama.
22And Zillah, she also bare Tubal-cain, an instructer of every artificer in brass and iron: and the sister of Tubal-cain was Naamah.
23Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Lemeki ki hono ongo uaifi ko ʻAta mo Sila, “Fanongo ki hoku leʻo; ʻae ongo uaifi ʻo Lemeki, fakafanongo ki heʻeku lea: he kuo u tāmateʻi ha tangata ʻi hoku lavea, ʻio, ko e talavou koeʻuhi ko ʻeku mamahi.
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.
24Kapau ʻe totongi ʻia Keini ʻo liunga fitu, ko e moʻoni, ʻe liunga fitungofulu ia lau ʻe fitu kia Lemeki.”
24If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, truly Lamech seventy and sevenfold.
25¶ Pea naʻe toe ʻilo ʻe ʻAtama ʻa hono uaifi; pea fāʻeleʻi ʻe ia ʻae tama, pea naʻe ui hono hingoa ko Seti: he naʻe pehē ʻe ia , “Kuo foaki kiate au ʻe he ʻOtua ha hako ʻe taha ko e fetongi ʻo ʻEpeli, ʻaia naʻe tāmateʻi ʻe Keini.”
25¶ 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.
26Pea naʻe fanauʻi foki ha foha kia Seti; pea naʻe ui hono hingoa ko ʻInosi: pea naʻe kamata ui ʻae kakai ki he huafa ʻo Sihova.
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 .
