1 Mosebog 4
1 Adam kendte sin Hustru Eva, og hun blev frugtsommelig og fødte Kain; og hun sagde: "Jeg har fået en Søn med HERRENS Hjælp!"
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 Fremdeles fødte hun hans Broder Abel. Abel blev Fårehyrde, Kain Agerdyrker.
[After those boys grew up], Abel (tended/took care of) sheep and goats, and Cain became a farmer.
3 Nogen Tid efter bragte Kain HERREN en Offergave af Jordens Frugt,
One day Cain harvested some of the crops he had grown and brought them to Yahweh as a gift for him,
4 medens Abel bragte en Gave af sin Hjords førstefødte og deres Fedme. Og HERREN så til Abel og hans Offergave,
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 men til Kain og hans Offergave så han ikke. Kain blev da såre vred og gik med sænket Hoved.
but he was not pleased with Cain and his offering. So Cain became very angry, and his face looked dejected.
6 Da sagde HERREN til Kain: "Hvorfor er du vred, og hvorfor går du med sænket Hoved?
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 Du ved, at når du handler vel, kan du løfte Hovedet frit; men handler du ikke vel, så lurer Synden ved Døren; dens Attrå står til dig, men du skal herske over den!"
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 Men Kain yppede Kiv med sin Broder Abel; og engang de var ude på Marken, sprang Kain ind på ham og slog ham ihjel.
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 Da sagde HERREN til Kain: "Hvor er din Broder Abel?" Han svarede: "Det ved jeg ikke; skal jeg vogte min Broder?"
[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 Men han sagde: "Hvad har du gjort! Din Broders Blod råber til mig fra Jorden!
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 Derfor skal du nu være bandlyst fra Agerjorden, som åbnede sig og tog din Broders Blod af din Hånd!
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 Når du dyrker Agerjorden, skal den ikke mere skænke dig sin Kraft du skal flakke hjemløs om på Jorden!"
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 Men Kain sagde til HERREN: "Min Straf er ikke til at bære;
Cain replied, “You are punishing me more then I can endure.
14 når du nu jager mig bort fra Agerjorden, og jeg må skjule mig for dit Åsyn og flakke hjemløs om på Jorden, så kan jo enhver, der møder mig, slå mig ihjel!"
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 Da svarede HERREN: "Hvis Kain bliver slået ihjel, skal han hævnes; syvfold!" Og HERREN satte et Tegn på Kain, for at ingen, der mødte ham, skulde slå ham ihjel.
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 Så drog Kain bort fra HERRENs Åsyn og slog sig ned i Landet Nod østen for Eden.
So Cain left Yahweh and went to live in the land called Nod, [which means ‘wandering’], which was east of Eden.
17 Kain kendte sin Hustru, og hun blev frugtsommelig og fødte Hanok. Han grundede en By og gav den sin; Søn Hanoks Navn.
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 Hanok fik en Søn Irad; Irad avlede Mehujael; Mehujael avlede Mehujael; og Metusjael avlede Lemek
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 Lemek tog sig to Hustruer; den ene hed Ada, den anden Zilla.
When Lamech [grew up he] married two women. The name of one was Adah and the other was Zillah.
20 Ada fødte Jabal; han blev Stamfader til dem, der bor i Telte og holder Kvæg;
Adah gave birth to [a son she named] Jabal.
21 hans Broder hed Jubal; han blev Stamfader til alle dem, der spiller på Harpe og Fløjte.
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 Også Zilla fik en Søn, Tubal-Kajin; han blev Stamfader til alle dem, der smeder Kobber og Jern. Tubal-Kajins Søster var Na'ama.
[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 Og Lemelk sagde til sine Hustruer: "Ada og Zilla, hør min Røst, Lemeks Hustruer, lyt til mit Ord: En Mand har jeg dræbt for et Sår, en Dreng for en Skramme!
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 Blev Kain hævnet syvfold, så hævnes Lemek syv og halvfjerdsindstyve Gange!"
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 Adam kendte på ny sin Hustru, og hun fødte en Søn, som hun gav Navnet Set; "thi," sagde hun, "Gud har sat mig andet Afkom i Abels Sted, fordi Kain slog ham ihjel!"
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 Set fik også en Søn, som han kaldte Enosj; på den Tid begyndte man at påkalde HERRENs Navn.
When Seth grew up, he became the father of a son whom he named Enosh. About that time people began to worship Yahweh [again].
