BoKhayini na-Abela
1Adamu wamati Eva, umkakhe; Eva wakhulelwa watala Khayini, watsi: “Ngitfole indvodzana ngekusitwa nguSimakadze.” 2Emvakwaloko watala Abela, umnakabo. Yena-ke Abela waba ngumelusi wetimvu, Khayini waba ngumlimi wemhlabatsi. 3Ngekuhamba kwesikhatsi Khayini waletsa umnikelo wetitselo temhlabatsi kuSimakadze. 4 Na-Abela waletsa ematubulo etimvu takhe letikhuluphele. Simakadze wanaka Abela nemnikelo wakhe; 5kepha Khayini nemnikelo wakhe akazange amnake. Ngako-ke Khayini watfukutsela kakhulu; buso bakhe banyukumala, bahlwa. 6Simakadze watsi kuKhayini: “Utfukutseleleni? Buso bakho bunyukumaleleni? 7 Angitsi nawenta lokulungile, uyemukeleka? Nawungenti lokulungile, sono siyakucatsamela ngasemnyango. Sifuna wena, kodvwa wena kufanele usincobe.”
8 Khayini wase utsi ku-Abela, umnakabo: “Asambe, siye etsafeni.” Batsi kube befike etsafeni, Khayini wesukela umnakabo, wambulala.
9Simakadze wabuta kuKhayini watsi: “Uphi umnakenu Abela?”
Watsi: “Angimati. Ngingumlindzi wemnaketfu yini mine?”
10 Simakadze watsi kuye: “Wenteni? Livi lengati yemnakenu liyakhala kimi, lisemhlabatsini. 11Sewucalekisiwe emhlabatsini lekunguwona ukhamise umlomo wawo wemukela ingati yemnakenu esandleni sakho. 12Nawulima umhlabatsi, ngeke usakunika sivuno sawo lesihle; wena sewuyawuba ngumhambuma neluzulane emhlabeni.”
13Khayini watsi kuSimakadze: “Sijeziso sami singetulu kwemandla ami. 14Asubuke, sewuyangicosha lamuhla la emhlabatsini, ngisuke nasebukhoneni bakho, ngibe ngumhambuma neluzulane emhlabeni; kantsi futsi wonkhe lohlangana nami uyawungibulala.”
15Kodvwa Simakadze watsi: “Cha, akunjalo! Lowo lobulala Khayini kuyawuphindziselwa kuye kuze kube kasikhombisa.” Simakadze wabeka Khayini luphawu, khona kutewuba secwayiso sekutsi lowo lohlangana naye angambulali. 16Khayini wase uyesuka ebukhoneni baSimakadze wayawuhlala eveni laseNodi, ngasemphumalanga yase-Edeni.
Titukulwane takaKhayini
17Khayini wamati umkakhe, lowakhulelwa, watala Enoki. Khayini wase wakha lidolobha laletsa ngemsa wakhe, watsi yi-Enoki. 18Enoki watala Iradi; Iradi waba nguyise waMehujayeli; Mehujayeli waba nguyise waMethushayeli; Methushayeli waba nguyise waLameki. 19Lameki watsatsa bafati lababili; libito lalomunye kwakungu-Ada, lomunye-ke anguSila. 20Ada watala Jabale; yena waba nguyise walabo bebahlala emathendeni, bafuye tinkhomo. 21Libito lemnakabo kwakunguJubale; yena-ke waba nguyise wabo bonkhe lababedlala lugitali nemntjingozi. 22Sila watala Thubali Khayini; yena-ke waba nguyise wabo bonkhe labakha emathulusi ngelitfusi nensimbi. DzadzewaboThubali Khayini kwakunguNama.
23Lameki wase utsi kubafati bakhe:
“Ada naSila, lalelani livi lami;
nine bafati baLameki,
lalelani lengitakusho:
Indvodza nayingilimata, ngitayibulala;
lijaha nalingilimata, ngitalibulala.
24Nangabe Khayini ayawuphindziselelwa
emahlandla lasikhombisa,
Lameki uyawuphindziselelwa
kuze kube ngemahlandla langema-77.”
Sethi na-Enoshi
25Adamu waphindze wamati umkakhe, watala indvodzana, wayetsa libito watsi nguSethi, ngobe abetsi: “Nkulunkulu sewungiphe lomunye umntfwana esikhundleni sa-Abela lowabulawa nguKhayini.” 26NaSethi watala indvodzana layetsa libito watsi ngu-Enoshi; ngaleso sikhatsi bantfu bacala kukhuleka kuSimakadze.
