iGenesis 4
uKayin noAbheli
1uAdam wamazi uEva umkakhe; wamitha, wazala uKayin, wathi, Ndifumene indoda kuYehova. 2Wazala naye uAbheli umninawa wakhe. Ke uAbheli waba ngumalusi, uKayin engumlimi. 3Emva kwethuba uKayin wenza idini kuNdikhoyo ngeziqhamo zomhlaba. 4Naye uAbheli wazisa kumazibulo omhlambi wakhe, namanqatha awo; uYehova wamphulaphula uAbheli nombingelelo wakhe. 5Kodwa akazange amkhathalele uKayin nombingelelo wakhe. Wacaphuka kunene uKayin, ubuso bakhe bushwabene. 6Wathi uYehova kuKayin, Uqumbeleni na? Yini na ukuba busangane ubuso bakho? 7Ukuba uthe walungisa, anisayi kwamkeleka na? ukuba ke wenze kakuhle, isono sesikungxamele emnyango. Kwaye emva kwakho uya kuba ngumnqweno wakhe, kwaye uya kulawula phezu kwakhe. 8Wathetha uKayin kuAbheli umninawa wakhe; bathi besendle, uKayin wamvukela uAbheli umninawa wakhe, wambulala. 9Wathi uYehova kuKayin, Uphi na uAbheli, umninawa wakho? Athi: Andazi: ndingumgcini kabhuti wam? 10Wathi, Wenze ntoni na? ilizwi legazi lomninawa wakho liyadanduluka kum emhlabeni. 11Kaloku, uqalekisiwe wena kulo ilizwe elivule umlomo walo ukuba wamkele igazi lomntakwenu esandleni sakho; 12Xa uwulima umhlaba, awusayi kuphinda ube namandla; uya kuba sisibhadubhadu nesibhadubhadu ehlabathini. 13Wathi uKayin kuYehova, Isohlwayo sam sikhulu ngokungenakuthwala. 14Yabona, undithumile namhla ehlabathini; ndiya kuzifihla ebusweni bakho; kwaye ndiya kuba sisibhadubhadu nesibhadubhadu ehlabathini; kwaye nabani na ondifumanayo uya kundibulala. 15Wathi uYehova kuye, Ngako oko, bonke ababulala uKayin kophindezelwa ngokuphindwe kasixhenxe. uYehova wamphawula uKayin, ukuze kungabikho bani umfumanayo angambulala. 16Kwaye uKayin wemka ebusweni beNkosi waza waya kuhlala kwilizwe laseNodi, ngasempumalanga ye-Eden. 17Ke uKayin wamazi umkakhe; wamitha, wazala uEnoki; wakha umzi, wawuthiya ngegama lonyana wakhe, uEnoki. 18uEnoki wazala uIradi; uIradi wazala uMehuyayeli; uMehuyaheli wazala uMetusaheli; uMetusaheli wazala uLameki; 19uLameki wazeka abafazi ababini, igama lomnye belinguAda, igama lowesibini belinguZila. 20uAda wazala uYabhali; waba nguyise wabahlala ezintenteni nabalusi. 21Igama lomninawa wakhe belinguYubhali; waba nguyise wabo bonke abasebenzisa irhengqa namalungu. 22uZila wazala uTubhali-kayin, obengumfundisi kuzo zonke iingcibi zobhedu nesinyithi; Udade boTubhalikayin ibinguNahama. 23Wathi uLameki kubafazi bakhe, Ada noSila, liveni ilizwi lam; Zintombi zikaLameki, liveni ilizwi lam, ngokuba ndibulele indoda ngenxeba, nomfana ngomvandedwa. 24Ukuba uKayin uya kuphindezelwa kasixhenxe, uLameki wophindezelwa kamashumi asixhenxe anesixhenxe. 25uAdam wabuya wamazi umkakhe; wazala unyana, wathi igama lakhe nguSete. Ngokuba wathi, uThixo undinike enye imbewu ngoAbheli owambulala uKayin. 26Kananjalo uSete wazalelwa unyana; Wamthiya igama elinguEnoshe; Baqala ke abantu ukulibiza igama likaYehova.
