4 Now Adam sleep with im wife Eve, and e get belle. When e born Cain, e talk say: “Jehovah don help me born pikin wey be boy.” 2 After, e born Cain brother, Abel.

Abel come be shepherd wey de care for animals, but Cain come be farmer. 3 After some time, Cain bring some fruits wey the ground produce as offering to Jehovah. 4 But Abel bring some of the first pikin them wey im animals born and their fat. And Jehovah accept Abel and im offering,* 5 but e no accept Cain and im offering.* So Cain really vex and e really feel sad. 6 Then Jehovah tell Cain say: “Why you de vex like that and de feel sad? 7 If you change and de do good, I no go accept* you back?* But if you no change and de do good, sin de wait for your door, and e want control you, but you go get the power to fit control-am?”

8 After that one, Cain tell im brother Abel say: “Make we go bush.” So as them dey bush, Cain attack im brother Abel and kill-am. 9 After, Jehovah ask Cain say: “Where your brother Abel?” and e answer say: “I no know. I be my brother watchman?” 10 So E talk say: “Wetin you don do so? Listen! Your brother blood de call me from ground. 11 And now, curse go follow you, and I don drive you comot from the ground where you kill your brother and where im blood dey.* 12 When you do work for the ground, e no go produce well for you, you go de waka-waka for the earth and de live like person wey run from im place.” 13 So Cain tell Jehovah say: “The punishment for my sin too much for me to carry. 14 Today you de drive me comot from the land, and I no go dey your front again, and I go be person wey de waka-waka for the earth, and de live like person wey run from im place, and anybody wey see me go surely want kill me.” 15 So Jehovah tell-am say: “Because of that one, anybody wey kill Cain go get punishment seven times.”

So Jehovah put sign for Cain so that anybody wey see Cain no go kill-am. 16 Then Cain comot from front of Jehovah and start to live for the land where people wey run comot from their place de stay,* wey face the east side of E′den.

17 After, Cain sleep with im wife, and e get belle and born E′noch. Then e start to build one city and the name wey e give the city na E′noch, the name of im son. 18 After, E′noch born I′rad. And I′rad come be Me·hu′ja·el papa, and Me·hu′ja·el come be Me·thu′sha·el papa, and Me·thu′sha·el come be La′mech papa.

Na Ja′bal be the first person wey live for tent and wey train animals. 21 The name of im brother na Ju′bal. Na im be the first person wey start to play harp and flute.* 22 And Zil′lah born Tu′bal-cain, wey form all kind of tools wey them de make from copper and iron. And Tu′bal-cain sister na Na′a·mah. 23 Then La′mech talk this things to im wives, wey be A′dah and Zil′lah:
