Genesis 4

UKhayini loAbela

1 UAdamu wasemazi uEva umkakhe; wasethatha isisu, wabeletha uKhayini ^{▼▼ uKhayini: okutsho, okuzuziweyo.}, wasesithi: Ngizuze indoda eNkosini. 2 Wasebuya ebeletha umfowabo uAbela ^{▼▼ uAbela: Heb uHabela.}. UAbela wasesiba ngumelusi wezimvu, loKhayini waba ngumlimi womhlabathi. 3 Kwasekusithi ekupheleni kwezinsuku uKhayini waletha eNkosini umnikelo owesithelo somhlabathi. 4 LoAbela, waletha laye emazibulweni ezimvu zakhe lakwezinonileyo zawo ^c; iNkosi yasinaka uAbela lomnikelo wakhe ^d. 5 Kodwa uKhayini lomnikelo wakhe kayiwunakanga. UKhayini wasethukuthela kakhulu, lobuso bakhe banyukubala ^e. 6 INkosi yasisithi kuKhayini: Uthukutheleleni, njalo kungani ubuso bakho bunyukubele? 7 Angithi uba usenza kuhle, kuyemukeleka ^{▼▼ kuyemukeleka: kumbe, kuphakeme.} yini? Kodwa uba ungenzi kuhle, isono siyacathama emnyango, lokunxwanela kwakhe kukuwe, kodwa wena uzambusa. 8 UKhayini wasekhuluma loAbela umfowabo; kwasekusithi besegangeni, uKhayini wasukela umfowabo uAbela wambulala ^g. 9 INkosi yasisithi kuKhayini: Ungaphi uAbela umfowenu? Wasesithi: Angazi ^h; ngingumlondolozi womfowethu yini? 10 Yasisithi: Wenzeni? Ilizwi legazi lomfowenu liyakhala kimi livela emhlabathini. 11 Khathesi-ke uqalekisiwe emhlabeni okhamise umlomo wawo ukwemukela igazi lomfowenu esandleni sakho. 12 Nxa ulima umhlabathi, kawusayikukunika amandla awo; uzakuba luzulane lomhambuma emhlabeni. 13 UKhayini wasesithi eNkosini: Isijeziso sami sikhulu kulengingakuthwala ^{▼▼ isijeziso sami: kumbe, isono sami sikhulu kulokungathethelelwa.}. 14 Khangela, ungixotshile lamuhla ebusweni bomhlaba ^j, njalo ngizacatshiswa ebusweni bakho; sengizakuba luzulane lomhambuma emhlabeni; njalo kuzakuthi wonke ongificayo uzangibulala ^k. 15 INkosi yasisithi kuye: Ngakho, loba ngubani obulala uKhayini uzaphindiselwa kasikhombisa ^l. INkosi yasibeka uphawu kuKhayini, hlezi loba ngubani omficayo ambulale. 16 UKhayini wasesuka ebusweni beNkosi, wasehlala elizweni leNodi, empumalanga kweEdeni.

Inzalo kaKhayini

17 UKhayini wasemazi umkakhe; wasethatha isisu, wabeletha uEnoki ^{▼▼ uEnoki: Heb uHanoki.}; njalo wayesakha umuzi, wabiza ibizo lomuzi ngebizo lendodana yakhe uEnoki. 18 Kwasekuzalelwa uEnoki uIradi; uIradi wasezala uMehujayeli; uMehujayeli wasezala uMethushayeli; uMethushayeli wasezala uLameki ^{▼▼ uLameki: Heb uLemeki.}.

19 ULameki wasezithathela abafazi ababili, ibizo lowokuqala lalinguAda, lebizo lowesibili lalinguZila. 20 UAda wasezala uJabali; yena wayenguyise walabo abahlala emathenteni, belezifuyo. 21 Lebizo lomfowabo lalinguJubali, yena wayenguyise wakhe wonke olokwenza lechacho lomhlanga. 22 UZila laye wasezala uThubhali-Khayini, umkhandi wakho konke okusikayo kwethusi lensimbi. Lodadewabo kaThubhali-Khayini wayenguNahama. 23 ULameki wasesithi kubafazi bakhe: Ada loZila, zwanini ilizwi lami, bafazi bakaLameki, bekani indlebe ekukhulumeni kwami; ngoba ngabulala indoda ngenxa yokungilimaza, lomfana ngenxa yokungihluzula ^o. 24 Nxa uKhayini ephindiselwa kasikhombisa ^p, isibili uLameki kamatshumi ayisikhombisa ephindwe kasikhombisa.

Inzalo kaSeti

25 UAdamu wasephinda wamazi umkakhe; wasezala indodana, wasebiza ibizo layo wathi nguSeti ^{▼▼ uSeti: Heb uSheti, okuyikuthi, omisiweyo, kumbe, obekiweyo.}; ngoba wathi: UNkulunkulu ungibekele enye inzalo esikhundleni sikaAbela ^r, ngoba uKhayini wambulala. 26 Laye uSeti wasezalelwa indodana, wabiza ibizo layo wathi nguEnosi ^{▼▼ uEnosi: Heb uEnoshi.}. Ngalesosikhathi baqala ukubiza ibizo leNkosi.
