Uputukilo 4:1-26
4 Alama yalimona ni mukwo-pwo Eva, mba iye yapwa kafumba. Muze asemene Kene, Eva yamba ngwenyi: “Nasema mwana wa lunga ni ukwaso wa Yehova.”
2 Mba kulutwe, yasema Abele, mwana-kwo ya Kene.
Abele yapwa mukwa-kufunga mapanga, Kene yapwa njimi.
3 Ha kupalika cha amwe mashimbu, Kene yaneha yimwe yuma ya mu munda hanga ahane mulambu kuli Yehova.
4 Alioze, Abele yaneha tupula-majimo a ku chendo cha mapanga jenyi hamuwika ni maji jo. Chocho, Yehova yatayiza Abele ni mulambu wenyi.
5 Alioze, katayijile Kene ni mulambu wenyi. Kene yevwa ufwatulo ni kunenganyana.*
6 Chocho, Yehova yamba kuli Kene ngwenyi: “Ufwatulo waka? Mumu liaka unanenganyana?
7 Nyi muputuka kulinga yize yinapeme, shina chichi kukutayiza* nawa nyi? Alioze, nyi kuwalumwine yitanga ye ni kulinga yuma yipema, shili ku chikolo yili, yinautama, yinazange chinji kukuyula; shina muhasa kuyikumba?”
8 Kulutwe, Kene yamba kuli mwana-kwo Abele ngwenyi: “Tuye ku munda.” Muze te ali mu munda, Kene yakwata mwana-kwo Abele yamushiha.
9 Mba Yehova yahula Kene ngwenyi: “Mwana-kwenu Abele kulihi ali?” Kene yakumbulula ngwenyi: “Chanyingikine. Shina yami nguli kafunga ka mwana-kwetu?”
10 Mba Zambi yamba ngwenyi: “Yika walinga? Panjika! Manyinga ja mwana-kwenu kanakololoka kuli yami chize hashi.
11 Haliapwila unashingiwa, kashika ngunakuhumu ha mavu waze apakula kanwa lio hanga atambule manyinga ja mwana-kwenu ku kwoko lie.
12 Muze mukalima hashi, kuhechi kakwaha mbuto.* Mukapwa mukwa-kwendangana hashi, kanda mukwa-kuchina-china.”
13 Chocho, Kene yamba kuli Yehova ngwenyi: “Lamba lize wangusela mumu lia shili yami liahiana naye, mungupinda chinji.
14 Musono hinwanguhuma ha mavu* wano, munguswama kumeso jenu; mungupwa mukwa-kwendangana hashi ni kuchina-china, mba mweswawo manguwana, pundu lume mangushiha.”
15 Mba Yehova yamba kuli iye ngwenyi: “Mumu lia chikuma chino, mweswawo mashiha Kene makamufwetesa yisuho shimbiali.”
Chocho, Yehova yasa chilayi hali Kene hanga mweswawo mamuwana achine kumushiha.
16 Chocho, Kene yakatuka kumeso ja Yehova, yaya ni kutwama ku chifuchi cha Uchinyino,* ku chivumbuko cha Endene.
17 Kulutwe, Kene yalimona ni mukwo-pwo, iye yapwa kafumba yasema Enoke. Chocho, yaputuka kutunga mbonge, mba mbonge yacho yayiluka jina lia mwanenyi Enoke.
18 Ha kupalika cha mashimbu, Enoke yasema Ira. Mba Ira yasema Mahujele, Mahujele yasema Matujela, Matujela yasema Lameke.
19 Lameke yambata mapwo aali, jina lia pwo mutangu liapwile Ata, lia pwo wamuchiali liapwile Zila.
20 Ata yasema Yavala, iye yapwa tato ya waze atwama mu mambalaka, akwa-kupita yimuna.
21 Jina lia mwana-kwo liapwile Yuvala, iye yapwa tato ya waze akwimba tulialia ni ndembo.
22 Zila neye yasema Tupalikene, mukwa-kufula yitwa ya mutapu weswe ya unengu ni ya utale. Ndumbwenyi wa pwo jina lienyi te Namahe.
23 Mba Lameke yasonekena mapwo jenyi Ata ni Zila maliji wano ngwenyi:
“Panjikenu liji liami, yenu mapwo ja Lameke;Panjikenu kuhanjika chami:
Nashiha umwe lunga mumu kangulemeka,Ewa, umwe mukweze mumu kangulamba.
24 Nyi mutu yoze mashiha Kene mamufwetesa yisuho 7,Yoze mashiha Lameke mamufwetesa yisuho 77.”
25 Alama yalimona cheka ni mukwo-pwo, mba iye yasema mwana wa lunga. Eva yamuluka jina ngwenyi, Sete.* Mumu yamba ngwenyi: “Zambi hangwaha munyachi* ukwo hanga usalakane Abele, yoze ashihile kuli Kene.”
26 Sete neye yasema mwana wa lunga, yamuluka jina ngwenyi, Enoshe. Ha matangwa waze, atu yaputuka kutambika ha jina lia Yehova.
