1 Mojžišova 4
1 Adam pak poznal Evu ženu svou, kterážto počavši, porodila Kaina a řekla: Obdržela jsem muže na Hospodinu.
Adam slept with his wife Eve and she became pregnant. She gave birth to Cain, and said, “With the Lord's help I have made a man.”
2 A opět porodila bratra jeho Abele. I byl Abel pastýř ovcí, a Kain byl oráč.
Later she gave birth to his brother Abel. Abel became a shepherd, while Cain was a crop farmer.
3 Po mnohých pak dnech stalo se, že obětoval Kain z úrody zemské obět Hospodinu.
Sometime later Cain brought some of the produce he'd grown as an offering to the Lord.
4 Ano i Abel také obětoval z prvorozených věcí stáda svého, a z tuku jejich. I vzhlédl Hospodin na Abele a na obět jeho.
Abel also brought an offering: the firstborn lambs of his flock, selecting the very best parts to offer. The Lord was pleased with Abel and his offering,
5 Na Kaina pak a na obět jeho nevzhlédl. Protož rozlítil se Kain náramně, a opadla tvář jeho.
but he wasn't pleased with Cain and his offering, which made Cain very angry and he frowned in annoyance.
6 I řekl Hospodin Kainovi: Proč jsi se tak rozpálil hněvem? A proč jest opadla tvář tvá?
The Lord said to Cain, “Why are you so angry? Why do you look so annoyed?
7 Zdaliž nebudeš příjemný, budeš-li dobře činiti? Pakli nebudeš dobře činiti, hřích ve dveřích leží; a pod mocí tvou bude žádost jeho, a ty panovati budeš nad ním.
If you were doing what's right, then you'd be looking happy. But if you don't do what's right, then sin will be like animal crouching outside your home, ready to pounce on you. It wants to have you, but you must be the one in control.”
8 I mluvil Kain k Abelovi bratru svému. Stalo se pak, když byli na poli, že povstav Kain proti Abelovi bratru svému, zabil jej.
Later, when Cain was talking with his brother Abel they went out into the fields where Cain attacked his brother and killed him.
9 I řekl Hospodin Kainovi: Kdež jest Abel bratr tvůj? Kterýž odpověděl: Nevím. Zdaliž jsem já strážným bratra svého?
“Where is your brother Abel?” the Lord asked Cain. “How should I know?” he replied. “Am I supposed to be my brother's care-giver?”
10 I řekl Bůh: Co jsi učinil? Hlas krve bratra tvého volá ke mně z země.
“What have you done?” the Lord asked. “Your brother's blood is crying out to me from the ground.
11 Protož nyní zlořečený budeš i od té země, kteráž otevřela ústa svá, aby přijala krev bratra tvého z ruky tvé.
Consequently you are more cursed than the ground because you soaked it with your brother's blood.
12 Když budeš dělati zemi, nebude více vydávati moci své tobě; tulákem a běhounem budeš na zemi.
When you cultivate the ground, it won't produce crops for you. You'll be always on the run, wandering all over the earth.”
13 I řekl Kain Hospodinu: Většíť jest nepravost má, než aby mi odpuštěna býti mohla.
“My punishment is more than I can take,” Cain replied.
14 Aj, vyháníš mne dnes z země této, a před tváří tvou skrývati se budu, a budu tulákem a běhounem na zemi. I přijde na to, že kdo mne koli nalezne, zabije mne.
“Look! You're driving me away right now—cursing the ground and banishing me from your presence. I'm going to have to hide and always be on the run, left to wander all over the earth. Anyone who finds me is going to kill me!”
15 I řekl mu Hospodin: Zajisté kdo by koli zabil Kaina, nad tím sedmnásobně mštěno bude. Pročež vložil Hospodin znamení na Kaina, aby ho žádný nezabil, kdo by jej koli nalezl.
But the Lord replied, “No, Cain. Anyone who kills you will be punished seven times over.” The Lord placed a mark on Cain so that no one who came across him would kill him.
16 Tedy odšed Kain od tváři Hospodinovy, bydlil v zemi Nód, k východní straně naproti Eden.
So Cain left the Lord's presence and went to live in a land called Nod, east of Eden.
17 Poznal pak Kain ženu svou, kterážto počala a porodila Enocha. I stavěl město, a nazval jméno města toho jménem syna svého Enoch.
Cain slept with his wife and she became pregnant. She had a son named Enoch. At that time Cain was building a town, so he named it after his son Enoch.
18 I narodil se Enochovi Irád, a Irád zplodil Maviaele, Maviael pak zplodil Matuzaele, a Matuzael zplodil Lámecha.
Enoch had a son named Irad. Irad was the father of Mehujael, Mehujael was the father of Methushael, and Methushael was the father of Lamech.
19 Vzal sobě pak Lámech dvě ženy; jméno jedné Ada, a jméno druhé Zilla.
Lamech married two women. The first was named Adah, and the second was named Zillah.
20 I porodila Ada Jábale, kterýž byl otec přebývajících v staních a stádo pasoucích.
Adah had a son named Jabal. He was the father of those who live in tents and have livestock.
21 A jméno bratra jeho Jubal; ten byl otec všech hrajících na harfu a nástroje hudebné.
He had a brother named Jubal; he was the father of all those who play stringed and wind instruments.
22 A Zilla také porodila Tubalkaina, kterýž byl řemeslník všelikého díla od mědi a od železa. Sestra pak Tubalkainova byla Noéma.
Zillah also had a son. He was named Tubal-cain and he was a blacksmith, making different kinds of tools out of bronze and iron. Tubal-cain's sister was named Naamah.
23 I řekl Lámech ženám svým, Adě a Zille: Slyšte hlas můj, ženy Lámechovy, poslouchejte řeči mé, že jsem zabil muže k ráně své a mládence k zsinalosti své.
At one time Lamech told his wives, “Adah and Zillah, listen to me. You wives of Lamech, pay attention to what I have to say. I killed a man because he wounded me; I killed a young man because he injured me.
24 Jestližeť sedmnásobně pomštěno bude pro Kaina, tedy pro Lámecha sedmdesátekrát sedmkrát.
If the sentence for killing Cain was to be punished seven times over, then if someone kills me, Lamech, the punishment should be seventy-seven times.”
25 Poznal pak ještě Adam ženu svou, i porodila syna a nazvala jméno jeho Set; nebo řekla: Dal mi Bůh jiné símě místo Abele, kteréhož zabil Kain.
Adam slept with his wife again, and she had a son and named him Seth, explaining that, “God has given me another child to replace Abel, the one Cain killed.”
26 Setovi pak také narodil se syn, a nazval jméno jeho Enos. Tehdáž začalo se vzývání jména Hospodinova.
Later Seth had a son named Enosh, because at that time people began to worship the Lord by name.
