1 Kuya Adamu kawasa na Eva, mwehe wake, naye kakinda inda na kumweleka Kaini, kalonga, "IMNDEWA kanyapfila nyeleka mwana mmale." 2 Hambele keleka imwana yungi, kamkema Abeli. Abeli tsayang'ali mdimi, na Kaini tsayang'ali yolima. 3 Hambele, Kaini kamlapfila nambiko ya matsawo ghake gha kumghunda, 4 naye Abeli kamlapfila Imulungu nyama inoghile ye iwana wa mwanduso wa iwang'olo. IMNDEWA kanoghelesighwa na nambiko ya Abeli, 5 lekeni ng'anoghelesighwe baye na Kaini wala nambiko yake. Apfo Kaini kona maya ghendo na chihanga chake ching'onang'ona. 6 Kuya IMNDEWA kamlongela Kaini, "Ule kuna maya? Ule chihanga chako ching'onang'ona? 7 Angu ungatenda ghanoghile, ng'utsotogholighwa baye? Lekeni kwaapfila kutenda ghehile, nzambi yamlibani mwako, yobama ikulongotse, lekeni kobamighwa uihume."

8 Kuya Kaini kamlongela Abeli ndughu yake, "Tuke kumghunda." Hawang'ali mna mghunda, Kaini kamuhundukila, kamtowa Abeli ndughu yake, kamkoma.

9 Kuya IMNDEWA kamghutsa Kaini, "Alikwani ndughu yako Abeli?"

Kaini kedika, "Simanyile baye. Apfi nene na mwimilitsi wake?" 10 Kuya IMNDEWA kamghutsa, "Utendile choni? Tegheletsa! Idamu ya ndughu yako yondilila kulawa mna lidongo. 11 Lelo ghweghwe kulanighwa na ng'utsolima mna lidongo linoghile ilighubule mlomo wake kubokela idamu ya ndughu yako yumkomile. 12 Haulima lidongo ng'alitsokwelekela baye ghamatsawo. Kutsakwangakwanga na ng'utsakuwa na hanu ha kukala baye muisi."

13 Kaini kamlongela Imtwatsa, "Anzabu ino ndito ng'ani sidaha baye kuidudumila. 14 Leloli kuniwinga kulawa mna lidongo linoghile na nitsokala kutali naghwe, nitsakwangakwanga na nitsakuwa nahela hanu ho kukala muisi, na imunu wowose iyatsombona katsonikoma."

15 Lekeni IMNDEWA kamwidika, "Bae, imunu iyatsokukoma ghweghwe, katsodununzighwa mala saba kubita ghweghwe." Kuya IMNDEWA kamwika chitango Kaini, imunu ang'amwona aleke kumkoma. 16 Apfo Kaini koka hambele he Imulungu, kaghenda kukala mna isi ya Nodi ubali wa kumoso wa Edeni.

17 Kaini kawasa ne mwehe wake, naye mwehe wake kakinda inda kamweleka Enoki. Kuya Kaini kandusa kutsenga ghumji, na kaghukema ghumji agho Enoki, taghwa lya imwanaghe. 18 Enoki kamweleka Iradi, naye Iradi kamweleka Mehuyaeli, Mehuyaeli kamweleka Metushaeli, naye Metushaeli kamweleka Lameki. 19 Lameki tsakakwela iwapinga weli, yumwe tsakakemighwa Ada, na yungi tsakakemighwa Sila. 20 Ada kamweleka Yabali, Yabali iyakalile mtsehe we iwanu wala iwofugha iwanyama na kukala mna pfibumbulika. 21 Ndughu yake tsakakala Yabali, iyakalile aba wa wose iwotowa pfilimba na pfimbeta. 22 Sila kamweleka Tubalikaini, iyakalile mhunzi wa shaba na chuma. Lumbu wake Tubalikaini tsakakala Naama.

23 Lameki kawalongela wehe tsake,

"Ada na Sila, mnitegheletse,

mwemwe wehe wa Lameki ulikeni mbuli tsangu.

Nene tsanimkoma imunu kwaapfila kandagha,

tsanimkoma msongolo kwa kundagha.

24 Kaini ang'alihighwa mala saba,

kuya Lameki katsolihighwa mala sabini na saba."

25 Adamu kawasa keli na mwehe wake Eva, naye keleka imwana mmale, kamkema Seti, kalonga, "Imulungu kangaya mwana yungi hanu ha Abeli, kwaapfila Kaini tsakamkoma." 26 Seti keleka imwana, tsakamkema Enoshi. Kulawa baho iwanu wanza kulilomba taghwa lya Imtwatsa.
