Kaine le Abele

1Atame o ne a itse Efa, mosadi wa gagwe; ke fa a nna moimana, a belega Kaine a re: “Ke bonye monna ka thuso ya Morena.”

2A boela a belega Abele monnawe. Abele a nna modisa wa dinku, Kaine a nna molemi wa masimo.

3Ya re malatsi mangwe a sena go feta, Kaine a tlisa maungo a masimo, a direla Morena tshupelo.

4Abele le ene a tlisa tsa maitibolo a dinku tsa gagwe le mafura a tsona. Mme Morena a itumelela Abele le setlhabelo sa gagwe.

5Fela a se ka a itumelela Kaine le tshupelo ya gagwe. Ke fa Kaine a galefa thata, a gagabisa matlho.

6Mme Morena a botsa Kaine a re: “O galefetseng? O gagabisetsang matlho?

7A ga ke re, fa o dira sentle, o ka tsholetsa sefatlhego, mme fa o sa dire sentle, boleo bo lalela fa mojako, bo go tlhologeletswe, mme wena o bo laole.”

8Mme Kaine a bua le Abele monnawe; ya re ba le kwa nageng, Kaine a tsogela Abele monnawe, a mmolaya.

9Ke fa Morena a botsa Kaine a re: “Abele monnao o kae?” Ene a re: “Ga ke itse. A ke modisa wa ga nnake?”

10Mme Morena a re: “O dirileng? Lentswe la madi a ga monnao le ntlhaeletsa, le tswa mo mmung.

11Jaanong o hutsitswe, o lelekilwe mo nageng e e atlhamolotseng legano go amogela madi a ga monnao a a tsholotsweng ke diatla tsa gago.

12Fa o lema masimo, ga a kitla a tlhola a go ntshetsa dijo ka fa nonofong ya ona; o tla nna mofaladi le motshabi mo lefatsheng.”

13Ke fa Kaine a raya Morena a re: “Molato wa me o mogolo go feta o o ka itshwarelwang.

14Bona, kajeno o nteleka mo nageng e; ke tla iphitlha, ke tshaba sefatlhego sa gago; ke tla nna mofaladi le motshabi mo lefatsheng. Mongwe le mongwe yo o mponang o tla mpolaya.”

15Mme Morena a mo raya a re: “Nnyaya, mongwe le mongwe yo o go bolayang, Kaine, o tla busolosiwa gasupa.” Morena a ba a baya lotshwao mo go Kaine gore a se ka a bolawa ke ope yo o mmonang.

16Ke fa Kaine a tloga fa pele ga sefatlhego sa Morena, a ya go nna kwa lefatsheng la Note mo ntlheng ya botlhabatsatsi ya Etene.

Losika lwa ga Kaine

17Kaine o ne a itse mosadi wa gagwe a nna moimana, a belega Henoge; a ba a aga motse, a o taya leina la Henoge, a o teelela morwawe.

18Henoge a belegelwa Irate; Irate a tsala Mehuyaele; Mehuyaele a tsala Methusaele; Methusaele a tsala Lamege.

20Ata a belega Jabale; ke ene rraabone ba ba neng ba nna mo ditenteng, e le barui ba dikgomo.

21Leina la ga monnawe ke Jubale; ke ene rraabone botlhe ba be neng ba letsa dirankure le ditlhaka.

22Sila le ene a belega, a tshola Thubale-Kaine; a nna mothudi wa dilo tsa mefutafuta tsa kgotlho le tsa tshipi. Kgaitsadia Thubale-Kaine e ne e le Naama.

23Lamege o ne a raya basadi ba gagwe a re:

“Ata le Sila,

lona basadi ba ga Lamege,

reetsang mafoko a me:

Ruri, ke tla bolaya monna

yo o ka nntshang ntho,

le lekau le le ka nkhutlang.

24Gonne Kaine

o tla busolosiwa gasupa,

mme Lamege ene ga masome

a a supang le bosupa.”

26Sethe le ene a belegelwa morwa, a mo taya leina la Enose. Metlheng eo ba simolola go bitsa leina la Morena.
