Postanak 4
1 Čovjek pozna svoju ženu Evu, a ona zače i rodi Kajina, pa reče: “Muško sam čedo stekla pomoću Jahve!”
And the man had connection with Eve his wife, and she became with child and gave birth to Cain, and said, I have got a man from the Lord.
2 Poslije rodi Abela, brata Kajinova; Abel postane stočar, a Kajin zemljoradnik.
Then again she became with child and gave birth to Abel, his brother. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a farmer.
3 I jednoga dana Kajin prinese Jahvi žrtvu od zemaljskih plodova.
And after a time, Cain gave to the Lord an offering of the fruits of the earth.
4 A prinese i Abel od prvine svoje stoke, sve po izbor pretilinu. Jahve milostivo pogleda na Abela i njegovu žrtvu,
And Abel gave an offering of the young lambs of his flock and of their fat. And the Lord was pleased with Abel's offering;
5 a na Kajina i žrtvu njegovu ni pogleda ne svrati. Stoga se Kajin veoma razljuti i lice mu se namrgodi.
But in Cain and his offering he had no pleasure. And Cain was angry and his face became sad.
6 I Jahve reče Kajinu: “Zašto si ljut? Zašto ti je lice namrgođeno?
And the Lord said to Cain, Why are you angry? and why is your face sad?
7 Jer ako pravo radiš, vedrinom odsijevaš. A ne radiš li pravo, grijeh ti je kao zvijer na pragu što na te vreba; još mu se možeš oduprijeti.”
If you do well, will you not have honour? and if you do wrong, sin is waiting at the door, desiring to have you, but do not let it be your master.
8 Kajin pak reče svome bratu Abelu: “Hajdemo van!” I našavši se na polju, Kajin skoči na brata Abela te ga ubi.
And Cain said to his brother, Let us go into the field: and when they were in the field, Cain made an attack on his brother Abel and put him to death.
9 Potom Jahve zapita Kajina: “Gdje ti je brat Abel?” “Ne znam”, odgovori. “Zar sam ja čuvar brata svoga?”
And the Lord said to Cain, Where is your brother Abel? And he said, I have no idea: am I my brother's keeper?
10 Jahve nastavi: “Što si učinio? Slušaj! Krv brata tvoga iz zemlje k meni viče.
And he said, What have you done? the voice of your brother's blood is crying to me from the earth.
11 Stoga budi proklet na zemlji koja je rastvorila usta da proguta s ruke tvoje krv brata tvoga!
And now you are cursed from the earth, whose mouth is open to take your brother's blood from your hand;
12 Obrađivat ćeš zemlju, ali ti više neće davati svoga roda. Vječni ćeš skitalica na zemlji biti!”
No longer will the earth give you her fruit as the reward of your work; you will be a wanderer in flight over the earth.
13 A Kajin reče Jahvi: “Kazna je moja odviše teška da se snosi.
And Cain said, My punishment is greater than my strength.
14 Evo me tjeraš danas s plodnoga tla; moram se skrivati od tvoga lica i biti vječni lutalac na zemlji - tko me god nađe, može me ubiti.”
You have sent me out this day from the face of the earth and from before your face; I will be a wanderer in flight over the earth, and whoever sees me will put me to death.
15 A Jahve mu reče: “Ne! Nego tko ubije Kajina, sedmerostruka osveta na njemu će se izvršiti!” I Jahve stavi znak na Kajina, da ga tko, našavši ga, ne ubije.
And the Lord said, Truly, if Cain is put to death, seven lives will be taken for his. And the Lord put a mark on Cain so that no one might put him to death.
16 Kajin ode ispred lica Jahvina u zemlju Nod, istočno od Edena, i ondje se nastani.
And Cain went away from before the face of the Lord, and made his living-place in the land of Nod on the east of Eden.
17 Kajin pozna svoju ženu te ona zače i rodi Henoka. Podigao je grad i grad prozvao imenom svoga sina - Henok.
And Cain had connection with his wife and she became with child and gave birth to Enoch: and he made a town, and gave the town the name of Enoch after his son.
18 Henoku se rodio Irad, a od Irada potekao Mehujael; od Mehujaela poteče Metušael, od Metušaela Lamek.
And Enoch had a son Irad: and Irad became the father of Mehujael: and Mehujael became the father of Methushael: and Methushael became the father of Lamech.
19 Lamek uzme dvije žene. Jedna se zvala Ada, a druga Sila.
And Lamech had two wives; the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah.
20 Ada rodi Jabala, koji je postao praocem onih što pod šatorima žive sa stokom.
And Adah gave birth to Jabal: he was the father of such as are living in tents and keep cattle.
21 Bratu mu bijaše ime Jubal. On je praotac svih koji sviraju na liru i sviralu.
And his brother's name was Jubal: he was the father of all players on instruments of music.
22 Sila rodi Tubal-Kajina, praoca onih koji kuju bakar i željezo. Tubal-Kajinovoj sestri bijaše ime Naama.
And Zillah gave birth to Tubal-cain, who is the father of every maker of cutting instruments of brass and iron: and the sister of Tubal-cain was Naamah.
23 Lamek prozbori svojim ženama: “Ada i Sila, glas moj poslušajte! Žene Lamekove, čujte mi besjedu: Čovjeka sam ubio jer me ranio i dijete jer me udarilo.
And Lamech said to his wives, Adah and Zillah, give ear to my voice; you wives of Lamech, give attention to my words, for I would put a man to death for a wound, and a young man for a blow;
24 Ako će Kajin biti osvećen sedmerostruko, Lamek će sedamdeset i sedam puta!”
If seven lives are to be taken as punishment for Cain's death, seventy-seven will be taken for Lamech's.
25 Adam pozna svoju ženu te ona rodi sina i nadjenu mu ime Šet. Reče ona: “Bog mi dade drugo dijete mjesto Abela, koga ubi Kajin.”
And Adam had connection with his wife again, and she gave birth to a son to whom she gave the name of Seth: for she said, God has given me another seed in place of Abel, whom Cain put to death.
26 Šetu se rodi sin, komu on nadjenu ime Enoš. Tada se počelo zazivati ime Jahvino.
And Seth had a son, and he gave him the name of Enosh: at this time men first made use of the name of the Lord in worship.
