1 Mojžišova 4
1 Adam pak poznal Evu ženu svou, kterážto počavši, porodila Kaina a řekla: Obdržela jsem muže na Hospodinu.
Adam (had sex/slept) with his wife Eve, and she became pregnant and gave birth to a son whom she named Cain, [which sounds like the word that means ‘produce’], because, she said, “By Yahweh’s help I have produced a son.” Some time later she gave birth to another son, and she named him Abel.
2 A opět porodila bratra jeho Abele. I byl Abel pastýř ovcí, a Kain byl oráč.
[After those boys grew up], Abel (tended/took care of) sheep and goats, and Cain became a farmer.
3 Po mnohých pak dnech stalo se, že obětoval Kain z úrody zemské obět Hospodinu.
One day Cain harvested some of the crops he had grown and brought them to Yahweh as a gift for him,
4 Ano i Abel také obětoval z prvorozených věcí stáda svého, a z tuku jejich. I vzhlédl Hospodin na Abele a na obět jeho.
and Abel took from his flock some of the first lambs that had been born [and killed them] and, as a gift, gave to Yahweh the fatty parts, [which were the best parts]. Yahweh 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 was not pleased with Cain and his offering. So Cain became very angry, and his face looked dejected.
6 I řekl Hospodin Kainovi: Proč jsi se tak rozpálil hněvem? A proč jest opadla tvář tvá?
Yahweh said to Cain, “(You should not be angry!/Why are you angry?) [RHQ] (You should not scowl like that!/Why do you scowl like that?) [RHQ]
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 had done what was right (OR, if you do what is right) [RHQ], I would accept your offering. But if you do not do what is right, [your desire to] sin [is ready to attack you like a wild animal that] [PRS] crouches outside the doorway, [ready to spring on its victim] [MET]. [Your desire to] sin wants to control you, but you must (control/not obey) it.”
8 I mluvil Kain k Abelovi bratru svému. Stalo se pak, když byli na poli, že povstav Kain proti Abelovi bratru svému, zabil jej.
But one day, Cain said to his younger brother Abel, “Let’s go for a walk in the fields.” [So they went together]. And when they were in the countryside, suddenly Cain attacked Abel and killed him.
9 I řekl Hospodin Kainovi: Kdež jest Abel bratr tvůj? Kterýž odpověděl: Nevím. Zdaliž jsem já strážným bratra svého?
[Later, even though] Yahweh [knew what Cain had done], he said to Cain, “[Do you know] where Abel, your younger brother, is?” Cain replied, “No, I do not know. (My job is not to guard my younger brother!/Am I supposed to take care of my younger brother?)” [RHQ]
10 I řekl Bůh: Co jsi učinil? Hlas krve bratra tvého volá ke mně z země.
Yahweh said, “You have done a terrible thing [RHQ]! So now [it is as though] your younger brother’s voice is crying to me from the ground, demanding that his death must be avenged.
11 Protož nyní zlořečený budeš i od té země, kteráž otevřela ústa svá, aby přijala krev bratra tvého z ruky tvé.
You have killed your younger brother, and the ground has soaked up his blood. So now I will expel you from this land and curse your efforts to produce crops.
12 Když budeš dělati zemi, nebude více vydávati moci své tobě; tulákem a běhounem budeš na zemi.
You will till the ground to plant crops, but the ground will produce very few [HYP] crops. And you will continually wander around the earth, and not have any place to live permanently.”
13 I řekl Kain Hospodinu: Většíť jest nepravost má, než aby mi odpuštěna býti mohla.
Cain replied, “You are punishing me more then I can endure.
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.
You are about to expel me from the ground [that I have been cultivating], and I will no longer be able to come (into your presence/and talk with you). Furthermore, I will be continually wandering around the earth with no place to live permanently, and anyone who sees me will 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 Yahweh said to him, “No, that will not happen. I will put a mark on you to warn anyone who sees you that [I will punish him severely if] he kills you. I will punish that person seven times as severely as I am punishing you.” Then Yahweh put a mark on Cain’s forehead.
16 Tedy odšed Kain od tváři Hospodinovy, bydlil v zemi Nód, k východní straně naproti Eden.
So Cain left Yahweh and went to live in the land called Nod, [which means ‘wandering’], which was 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.
Some time later, Cain (had sex/slept) with his wife, and she [became pregnant and] gave birth to a son, whom she named Enoch. Then Cain started to build a city, and he named the city ‘Enoch’, the same name that his son had.
18 I narodil se Enochovi Irád, a Irád zplodil Maviaele, Maviael pak zplodil Matuzaele, a Matuzael zplodil Lámecha.
Enoch [grew up and married and] became the father of a son whom he named Irad. When Irad [grew up he] became the father of a son whom he named Mehujael. Mehujael [grew up and] became the father of a son whom he named Methuselah. Methuselah [grew up and] became the father of Lamech.
19 Vzal sobě pak Lámech dvě ženy; jméno jedné Ada, a jméno druhé Zilla.
When Lamech [grew up he] married two women. The name of one was Adah and the other was Zillah.
20 I porodila Ada Jábale, kterýž byl otec přebývajících v staních a stádo pasoucích.
Adah gave birth to [a son she named] Jabal.
21 A jméno bratra jeho Jubal; ten byl otec všech hrajících na harfu a nástroje hudebné.
Later, Jabal was the first person who lived in tents because he traveled from place to place to take care of livestock. His younger brother’s name was Jubal. He was the first person who made/played a (lyre/stringed instrument) and a flute.
22 A Zilla také porodila Tubalkaina, kterýž byl řemeslník všelikého díla od mědi a od železa. Sestra pak Tubalkainova byla Noéma.
[Lamech’s other wife] Zillah gave birth to a son whom she named Tubal-Cain. Later Tubal-Cain became a (blacksmith/one who made tools from bronze and iron). Tubal-Cain had a younger sister whose name was 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.
One day Lamech said to his two wives, “Adah and Zillah, listen carefully to what I am saying. A young man struck me and wounded me, so I killed him.
24 Jestližeť sedmnásobně pomštěno bude pro Kaina, tedy pro Lámecha sedmdesátekrát sedmkrát.
Yahweh said long ago that he would avenge and punish anyone who killed Cain seven times as much as he punished Cain [for killing his younger brother]. So if anyone [tries to] kill me, I will punish him 77 times as much [as Yahweh punished Cain].”
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 continued to (have sex/sleep) with [EUP] his wife, and she [became pregnant and] gave birth to another son, whom she named Seth, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘given’], because, she said, “God has given me another child to take the place of Abel, since Cain killed him.”
26 Setovi pak také narodil se syn, a nazval jméno jeho Enos. Tehdáž začalo se vzývání jména Hospodinova.
When Seth grew up, he became the father of a son whom he named Enosh. About that time people began to worship Yahweh [again].
