6Apo Chauta adafunsa Kainiyo kuti, “Kodi wakwiyiranji chotere? Chifukwa chiyani nkhope yako yagwa?

7Ukadachita zabwino, ndikadakondwera nawe. Koma chifukwa choti wachita zoipa, tchimo lakukhalirira pa khomo ngati chilombo cholusa. Likulakalaka kuti likugwire, koma iweyo uligonjetse tchimolo.”

10Chauta adamufunsanso kuti, “Kodi wachita chiyani? Magazi a mng'ono wako akulira kwa Ine kuchokera m'nthaka.

11Tsopano watembereredwa, sudzailimanso nthaka yomwe yamwa magazi a mng'ono wako, amene waŵakhetsa ndi manja ako.

12Ukamalima mbeu, nthakayo sidzakubalira, ndipo udzakhala womangoyendayenda, wosoŵa pokhala penipeni pa dziko lapansi.”

14Tsopano mwandipirikitsa pa dziko ndi pamaso panu. Ndidzakhala wothaŵathaŵa pa dziko lapansi, ndipo aliyense wondipeza adzandipha.”

15Koma Chauta adamuyankha kuti, “Iyai, aliyense wopha iwe Kaini adzalangidwa, ndipo Ineyo ndidzamulipsira kasanunkaŵiri.” Motero Chauta adaika chizindikiro pa Kaini kuchenjeza aliyense kuti asamuphe Kainiyo.

18Enoki adabereka mwana namutcha Iradi. Iradi adabereka Mehuyaele. Mahuyaele adabereka Metusaele amene adabereka Lameki.

19Lameki adakwatira akazi aŵiri. Dzina la mkazi wake woyamba linali Ada, la mkazi wachiŵiri linali Zila.

20Ada adabala Yabala, ndipo iyeyu ndiye kholo la onse oŵeta zoŵeta ndi okhala m'mahema.

22Zila adabala Tubala-Kaini. Iyeyu ndiye kholo la onse ogwira ntchito yosula mkuŵa ndi zitsulo. Mlongo wa Tubala-Kainiyo anali Naama.

23Tsono Lameki adauza akazi akewo kuti, “Iwe Ada ndi iwe Zila, mverani mau anga. Tcherani khutu mumve, inu akazi anga. Ine ndapha munthu chifukwa anandipweteka. Ndamuphadi mnyamatayo amene anandimenya.

24Ngati wopha Kaini amlipsira kasanunkaŵiri, ndiye kuti wopha ine Lameki adzamlipsira kokwanira 77.”
