Nu Muhona wa ri nonyuṋe mu Abel nombunguhiro ye; 5 nungwari ka ri nonyuṋe mu Kain nombunguhiro ye. Kain opa pindikira tjinene, na tivaurisa omurungu we. 6 Nu Muhona wa tja ku Kain: “Mo pindikire tjike, nomurungu woye mo u tivaurisire tjike? 7 Tjita imbi ovisemba nami me kara nonyuṋe move, nungwari tji wa tjiti ouhasemba, ouvi wa haama pomuvero womutima woye awe ku yenge, nungwari nga rire ove ngu mo honapara kombanda yawo.”

Oro tjinga ara paturura otjinyo tjaro okukambura ombinḓu yomuangu woye meke roye. 12 Mo ungura tjinene nomasa otjikunino tjoye, nu katji nokukuhapisira ovikurya; otji mo rire omuhangauke nomuhinaha kombanda yehi.”
13 Kain opa tjera nai ku Muhona: “Omberero yandje onḓeu tjinene okuitjinda. 14 Tara, ndinondi mo ndji ramba mehi, na komurungu woye; notji me rire omuhinaha nomuhangauke kombanda yehi. Nu auhe ngu me ndji munu me ndji zepa.”
15 Nungwari Muhona we mu zira a tja: “Kako! Ngamwa auhe ngu me ku zepa ma verwa povikando hambombari.” Muhona arire tja twako otjihako ku Kain kutja ape ha ningi ngu me mu zepa, tja hakaene na ye. 16 Nu Kain opa zira po komurungu wa Muhona na katura mehi ra Nod, ndi mari hee kutja “Oruveze ku ku hi neha nu kouhangauke,” komukuma wakuṱa komuhuka wa Eden.
