Dimatekenu 4:1-26
4 Adá uzeka ni muhat’wê Eva, mwene anga wimita. Kyoso kyavwala Kayini, mwene wambe: “Ngavwala mon’a diyala ni kikwatekesu kya Jihova.”
2 Mukubhita thembu, Eva wavwala dingi Abele, phang’ya Kayini.
Abele wakituka mubhidi wa jimbudi, maji Kayini wakituka kidimakaji.
3 Ku pholo dya kwenda, Kayini wabheka idima ya mabhya kala sata phala Jihova.
4 Maji Abele wabheka ku ana a dyanga a jimbudi jê, ni banya yâ. Jihova waxikina Abele ni sata yê,
5 maji kaxikina Kayini ni sata yê. Kayini anga njinda imukwata, uluwala kyavulu.*
6 Kyenyiki, Jihova wambela Kayini: “Mukonda dyahi wala ni njinda? Waluwalela-hi kiki?
7 Se ubhanga o mbote o kwila kinganda kuxikina? Maji se ukamba o kubhanga o mbote, o kituxi kyala bhu mwelu, kya kubatamena, kyamesena ku kutumina. O kwila wanda tena ku kitolola?”
8 Mukubhita o ima yiyi, Kayini wambela phang’yê Abele, wixi: “Tuye ku mukáwu.” Kyoso kyakexile ku mukáwu, Kayini walungulukila phang’yê Abele yu wa mujibha.
9 Jihova anga wibhwidisa Kayini, wixi: “Phang’yé Abele wala kwebhi?” Kayini wa mutambwijila: “Kingejiya. Éme ngi mulangidi wa phang’yami?”
10 Mwene wa mwambela: “Ihi i wabhange? Ivwa! O manyinga a phang’yé a mudikola kokwami tunde ku mavu.
11 Kindala lamba dyé, anda kukaya mu ixi mukonda yatambula* o manyinga a phang’yé bhu maku mé.
12 Kyoso ki wanda dima o mavu ene kanda kubhana o idima yê. Wanda bhanga jinga ima yayibha, wanda lenga-lenga ngo, mu ixi ki wanda sanga-mu kididi kya kukala.”
13 Mukiki, Kayini wambela Jihova, wixi: “O kaxtiku ka ngibhana mukonda dya kitondalu kyami, kaneme kyavulu, kinganda katena.
14 Lelu eye wa ngikaye mu ixi yiyi, nganda disweka jinga mu kulenga o pholo yé, nganda bhanga jinga ima yayibha, nganda lenga-lenga ngo, mu ixi kinganda sanga-mu kididi kya kukala. Sé phata, woso u ngisanga wanda ngijibha mwene.”
15 Mukiki Jihova wambe: “Mukonda dya kyenyiki, woso ujibha Kayini, anda mukaxtikala lusambwadi.”
Kyenyiki Jihova wate kijimbwete kyalungu ni Kayini, phala woso u musanga kamujibhe.
16 Kayini anga utunda bhu pholo ya Jihova wayi mutunga mu ixi ya Node,* ku mbandu kutundila o dikumbi ya Edene.
17 Ku pholo dya kwenda Kayini wazeka ni muhat’wê anga wimita, uvwala Enoko. Mwene anga umateka kutunga mbanza, yu wa iluku o dijina dya mon’ê Enoko.
18 Ku pholo dya kwenda, Enoko uvwala Iladi. Iladi uvwala Mehujayele, Mehujayele uvwala Metuzayele, Metuzayele uvwala Lameke.
19 Lameke anga ukala ni ahatu ayadi. O wa dyanga Ada, o wa kayadi Zila.
20 Ada anga uvwala Jabale. Mwéne wa dyanga kutunga mu jibalaka ni kukala ni ibhaku.
21 O dijina dya phang’yê, Jubale. Ku akwa kuxika o mbendu ni mbánza mwéne wa dyangela.
22 Zila uvwala we Tubale-Kayini, wexile musula o ima yoso ya ngondo ni ya felu. Tubale-Kayini wexile ni phang’yê ya muhatu, dijina dyê Nahama.
23 Lameke anga utumbula o izwelu yiyi ku ahat’wê ayadi Ada ni Zila:
“Ahatu a Lameke, ivwenu o dízwi dyami,Bhanenu mátwi ku izwelu yami:
Ngajibha diyala mukonda wa ngikwama,Kyene mwene, munzangala wa diyala mukonda wa ngibeta.
24 Se muthu ujibha Kayini a mukaxtikala lusambwadi,o ujibha Lameke anda mukaxtikala makwinyi asambwadi ni sambwadi dya jiveji.”
25 Adá anga uzeka dingi ni muhat’wê, mwene anga uvwala mon’a diyala. Eva anga u muluka o dijina dya Sete,* mukonda mwene wambe: “Nzambi wa ngibhana mona wengi* bhu kididi kya Abele, mukonda Kayini wa mujibha.”
26 Sete wavwala we mon’a diyala, wa muluku o dijina dya Eno. Mu thembu yenyoyo, o athu amateka kutumbula o dijina dya Jihova.
