Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
וַיִּֽקַּֽח ל֥וֹ לֶ֖מֶךְ שְׁתֵּ֣י נָשִׁ֑ים
and=he/it_took to=him/it Lemek two(fd) women/wives
In this context, the phrase took for himself is an idiom that means “married”. Consider whether or not your language has a similar idiom. Alternate translation: “Then Lamech grew up, and he chose two women to be his wives.” or “When Lamech grew up, he married two women.”
שֵׁ֤ם הָֽאַחַת֙ עָדָ֔ה
name_of the=one(f) ˊĀdāh
Alternate translation: “His first wife was named Adah,”
וְשֵׁ֥ם הַשֵּׁנִ֖ית צִלָּֽה
and=name_of the=second(fs) Tsillāh/(Zillah)
Alternate translation: “and his second wife was named Zillah.”
4:19 Marrying two women was contrary to God’s ideal pattern for marriage (2:24) and might be another manifestation of the arrogance and rebellion of Cain’s descendants.
