Kenehi 4

Kaina rāua ko Āpera
1Nā, ka mōhio a Ārama ki a Iwi, ki tāna wahine, ā, ka hapū ia. Ā, ka whānau a Kaina, nā, ka mea ia, “Kua whakawhiwhia mai ahau e Ihowā ki tētahi tangata.” 2Nā, ka whānau anō tōna teina, a Āpera.
Nā, he kaiwhāngai hipi a Āpera, ko Kaina ia he kaingaki whenua. 3Ā, i te mutunga o ētahi rangi, ka kawea e Kaina ētahi o ngā hua o te whenua hei whakahere ki a Ihowā. 4Me Āpera hoki, i kawea e ia ētahi o ngā whānau mātāmua o tāna kāhui, o ō rātou ngako hoki. Ā, ka aro a Ihowā ki a Āpera, ki tāna whakahere, 5kīhai ia i aro ki a Kaina, ki tāna whakahere. Ā, he nui rawa te riri o Kaina, ā, whakapoururu ana tōna mata.
6Nā, ka mea a Ihowā ki a Kaina, “He aha koe i riri ai, ā, he aha i whakapoururu ai tōu mata? 7E kore ianei koe e kake, ki te mahi koe i te pai? Ki te kāhore koe e mahi i te pai, kei te kūwaha te hara e takoto ana. Nā, ko koe tāna e hiahia ai, ko koe ia hei rangatira mōna.”
8Nā, ka kōrero a Kaina ki a Āpera, ki tōna teina, “Ā, i a rāua i te pārae.” Ka whakatika a Kaina ki a Āpera, ki tōna teina, ā, patua iho.
9Kātahi a Ihowā ka mea ki a Kaina, “Kei hea a Āpera, tōu teina?”
Ka mea ia, “Kāhore ahau e mōhio. Ko ahau ianei te kaitiaki o tōku teina?”
10Nā, ka mea ia, “He mahi aha tēnei āu? E tangi mai ana te reo o te toto o tōu teina ki ahau i roto i te whenua. 11Nā, ka kangā koe i runga i te whenua, i hāmama nei tōna waha hei rerenga atu mō te toto o tōu teina i whakahekea nei e tōu ringa. 12Ka ngaki koe i te oneone, e kore e tukua tōna kaha ā muri ake nei ki a koe; ka waiho koe hei tangata hāereere noa, hei manene i runga i te whenua.”
13Nā, ka mea a Kaina ki a Ihowā, “He nui rawa te whiu mō tōku kino, e kore e taea e ahau. 14Titiro hoki, ka peia ahau e koe ināianei i te mata o te whenua, ā, ka ngaro i tōu kanohi. Ka waiho hoki ahau hei tangata hāereere noa, hei manene i runga i te whenua; ā, tēnei ake, ki te tūtaki tētahi tangata ki ahau, nā, ka patua ahau e ia.”
15Nā, ka mea a Ihowā ki a ia, “Nā reira ki te patu tētahi i a Kaina, whitu ngā utu e rapua i a ia.” Nā, ka hōmai e Ihowā he tohu ki a Kaina, kei patua ia e tētahi tangata ina tūtaki ki a ia. 16Nā, ka haere atu a Kaina i te aroaro o Ihowā, ā, noho ana i te whenua o Noro, i te taha ki te rāwhiti o Erene.
Ngā Whakatupuranga o Kaina
17Nā, ka mōhio a Kaina ki tāna wahine; ā, ka hapū ia, ka whānau a Ēnoka. Nā, ka hanga ia i tētahi pā, ā, huaina iho te ingoa o te pā ko Ēnoka, ko te ingoa o tāna tama. 18Ā, whānau ake tā Ēnoka tama ko Irara; nā Irara ko Mehutaere: tā Mehutaere ko Metuhaere; tā Metuhaere ko Rameka.
19Nā, ka tangohia e Rameka ētahi wāhine tokorua māna; ko Āraha te ingoa o tētahi, ko Tira tō tētahi. 20Nā, ka whānau tā Āraha tama ko Iapara. Ko ia te matua o te hunga noho tēneti, rātou ko ngā tāngata whāngai kararehe. 21Ā, ko te ingoa o tōna teina ko Iupara. Ko ia te matua o ngā mea rahurahu ki te hāpa, ki te ōkana. 22Me Tira anō hoki, whānau ake tāna ko Tuparakaina, he kaihanga ia i ngā mea tapahi katoa i te mea parāhi, i te mea rino. Ā, ko Naama te tuahine o Tuparakaina.
23Nā, ka mea a Rameka ki āna wāhine:
“E Āraha rāua ko Tira, whakarongo mai ki tōku reo;
e ngā wāhine a Rameka, kia whai taringa mai ki tāku kupu:
Kua patua hoki he tangata e ahau mōku i motu,
he taitamariki hoki mōku i marū.
24Nā, mō Kaina e whitu ngā utu,
ina, kia whitu tekau mā whitu mō Rameka.”
25Ā, i mōhio anō a Ārama ki tāna wahine; ka whānau tāna tama, ā, huaina iho tōna ingoa ko Heta; i mea hoki ia, “Ka rite mai nei i te Atua tētahi atu uri mōku hei whakakapi mō Āpera i patua nei e Kaina.” 26Me Heta anō hoki, i whānau tāna tama; ā, huaina ana tōna ingoa ko Ēnoha.
Nō reira i tīmata ai te tangata te karanga ki te ingoa o Ihowā.
