4 1Adam ne ne yere Hawa daa; ɔnyinsɛnee na ɔwoo Kain, na ɔkae se, “Yɛn Agya mmoa nti, manya ɔbarima.” a a v1 Kain din no nne te sɛ “wɔanya” anaa “wɔawo” — Hawa too no saa din no, ɛnam mmoa a onyae wɔ ne wo a ɔwoo no baa wiase no nti. 2Akyiri yi ɔwoo ne nua Abel. Abel hwɛɛ nguan, na Kain yɛɛ asase so adwuma. 3Bere bi akyi no, Kain de asase so nnɔbae bi baa yɛn Agya anim sɛ afɔrebɔde. 4Abel nso de ne nguan mmakan ne wɔn srade baa. Yɛn Agya ani gyee Abel ne nʼafɔrebɔde ho, 5nanso nʼani annye Kain ne nʼafɔrebɔde ho, enti Kain bo fuw kɛse, na nʼanim sesae.
6Afei yɛn Agya ka kyerɛɛ Kain se, “Adɛn nti na wo bo afuw? Adɛn nti na wʼanim asesa? 7Sɛ woyɛ nea ɛteɛ a, wɔrennye wo ana? Sɛ woanyɛ saa nso a, bɔne butuw wʼabobow ano, na ɛpɛ wo—nanso ɛsɛ sɛ wodi so.”
8Kain ka kyerɛɛ ne nua Abel se, “Ma yɛnkɔ afuw mu.” Wɔ hɔ no, Kain sɔre tiaa ne nua Abel kum no. b b v8 Saa nsɛm yi nni Hebri nkyerɛwee no mu, nanso ɛwɔ Samaria, Hela ne Siria nkyerɛwee no mu.
9Afei yɛn Agya bisaa Kain se, “Wo nua Abel wɔ he?” Ɔbuae se, “Minnim.” “Me na meyɛ me nua hwɛfo ana?”
10Yɛn Agya kae se, “Dɛn na woayɛ yi? Wo nua mogya nne refi asase mu resu afrɛ me. 11Afei nnome pam wo fi asase a ɛbuee nʼano de gyee wo nua mogya fii wo nsa mu no so. 12Sɛ woyɛ asase no so adwuma a, ɛremfa nʼahoɔden mma wo bio; wobɛyɛ dwanefo a ɔkyinkyin wɔ asase so.”
13Kain ka kyerɛɛ yɛn Agya se, “Me asotwe no so sen nea metumi asoa. 14Ɛnnɛ wopam me fi asase yi so; mɛyera afi wʼanim, mɛyɛ dwanefo a minnya ahomegye wɔ asase so, na obiara a obehu me no bekum me.”
15Nanso yɛn Agya ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Dabi—obiara a obekum Kain no, wobetua no so ka mpɛn ason.” Afei yɛn Agya yɛɛ agyiraehyɛde wɔ Kain ho, sɛnea obiara a obehu no no renkum no. c c v15 Wɔ awudi a edi kan no akyi mpo no, yɛn Agya annyaw Kain — ɔhyɛɛ no agyirae sɛ ɔbɛbɔ ne ho ban. Agya no mmɔborɔhunu du afɔdifo mpo so.
16Kain fii yɛn Agya anim kɔtenaa Nod asase so, Eden apuei fam. d d v16 Nod kyerɛ “akyinkyin.” Kain a wobuu no atɛn sɛ ɔnkyinkyin asase so no kɔtenaa akyinkyin asase no ankasa so.
17Kain ne ne yere daa; ɔnyinsɛnee na ɔwoo Henok. Saa bere no Kain resi kurow bi, na ɔde ne ba Henok din too kurow no. 18Wɔwoo Irad maa Henok. Irad woo Mehuyael, Mehuyael woo Metusael, Metusael woo Lamek. 19Lamek waree mmea baanu; wɔn mu baako din de Ada, na ɔfoforo no din de Sila. 20Ada woo Yabal, wɔn a wɔtete ntamadan mu na wɔyɛn mmoa no agya. 21Ne nua din de Yubal; ɔno ne wɔn a wɔbɔ sankuo ne atɛntɛbɛn nyinaa agya. 22Sila nso woo Tubal-Kain, nea ɔtow kɔbere ne dade nnwinnade nyinaa; Tubal-Kain nuabaa ne Naama. 23Lamek ka kyerɛɛ ne yerenom se, “Ada ne Sila, muntie me; Lamek yerenom, monyɛ aso mma nea meka. Makum ɔbarima a ɔpiraa me, aberante a ɔbɔɔ me pira. 24Sɛ wɔtua Kain so ka mpɛn ason a, ɛnde Lamek de, mpɛn aduɔson ason.”
25Adam ne ne yere daa bio; ɔwoo ɔbabarima, na ɔtoo no din Set, na ɔkae se, “Yɛn Agya de ba foforo ama me asi Abel ananmu, efisɛ Kain kum no.” e e v25 Set din no nne te sɛ “wɔde ama” anaa “wɔayi asi hɔ” — Hawa too no saa din no, ɛnam ba a yɛn Agya de maa no sɛ onsi Abel ananmu no nti. 26Set nso woo ɔbabarima, na ɔtoo no din Enos. Ɛno akyi na nnipa fii ase frɛɛ yɛn Agya din.
