< Genesis 4 >

1 And Adam had relations with his wife Eve, and she conceived and gave birth to Cain. “With the help of the LORD I have brought forth a man,” she said.
Un Ādams atzina Ievu, savu sievu, un tā tapa grūta un dzemdēja Kainu un sacīja: es esmu dabūjusi vīru ar To Kungu.
2 Later she gave birth to Cain’s brother Abel. Now Abel was a keeper of sheep, while Cain was a tiller of the soil.
Un tā vēl dzemdēja viņa brāli, Ābelu; un Ābels palika par avju ganu, bet Kains palika par zemes kopēju.
3 So in the course of time, Cain brought some of the fruit of the soil as an offering to the LORD,
Un notikās pēc kāda laika, ka Kains Tam Kungam upuri nesa no zemes augļiem.
4 while Abel brought the best portions of the firstborn of his flock. And the LORD looked with favor on Abel and his offering,
Un Ābels arīdzan nesa no savu avju pirmdzimtiem un no viņu taukiem. Un Tas Kungs uzlūkoja Ābelu un viņa upuri.
5 but He had no regard for Cain and his offering. So Cain became very angry, and his countenance fell.
Bet Kainu un viņa upuri Viņš neuzlūkoja. Tad iedegās Kaina bardzība, un viņa vaigs raudzījās nikni.
6 “Why are you angry,” said the LORD to Cain, “and why has your countenance fallen?
Un Tas Kungs sacīja uz Kainu: kam tu esi apskaities, un kādēļ tavs vaigs raugās nikni?
7 If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you refuse to do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires you, but you must master it.”
Vai nav tā: ja tu darīsi pareizi, tad vari savu vaigu pacelt; bet ja tu darīsi nepareizi, tad grēks guļ priekš durvīm un tīko pēc tevis, - bet tu, valdi pār viņu. Un Kains runāja ar savu brāli Ābelu.
8 Then Cain said to his brother Abel, “Let us go out to the field.” And while they were in the field, Cain rose up against his brother Abel and killed him.
Un notikās, kad tie bija laukā, tad Kains cēlās pret Ābelu, savu brāli, un to nokāva.
9 And the LORD said to Cain, “Where is your brother Abel?” “I do not know!” he answered. “Am I my brother’s keeper?”
Un Tas Kungs sacīja uz Kainu: kur ir Ābels, tavs brālis? Un tas sacīja: es nezinu. Vai tad es sava brāļa sargs?
10 “What have you done?” replied the LORD. “The voice of your brother’s blood cries out to Me from the ground.
Un Viņš sacīja: ko tu esi darījis? Tava brāļa asiņu balss brēc uz Mani no zemes.
11 Now you are cursed and banished from the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand.
Un nu esi nolādēts, nost no zemes, kas savu muti atpletusi, tava brāļa asinis saņemt no tavām rokām.
12 When you till the ground, it will no longer yield its produce to you. You will be a fugitive and a wanderer on the earth.”
Kad tu zemi strādāsi, tad tā vairs tev nedos savu spēku; tekulis un bēglis tu būsi virs zemes.
13 But Cain said to the LORD, “My punishment is greater than I can bear.
Un Kains sacīja uz To Kungu: mans noziegums ir lielāks, nekā to varētu panest.
14 Behold, this day You have driven me from the face of the earth, and from Your face I will be hidden; I will be a fugitive and a wanderer on the earth, and whoever finds me will kill me.”
Redzi, Tu mani šodien izdzen no zemes, un man būs paslēpties no Tava vaiga un es būšu tekulis un bēglis virs zemes, un notiks, ka ikviens, kas mani atrod, tas mani nokaus.
15 “Not so!” replied the LORD. “If anyone slays Cain, then Cain will be avenged sevenfold.” And the LORD placed a mark on Cain, so that no one who found him would kill him.
Un Tas Kungs uz to sacīja: tādēļ, kas Kainu nokauj, tas taps septiņkārt atriebts. Un Tas Kungs pielika Kainam zīmi, lai to nenokautu, kas to atrastu.
16 So Cain went out from the presence of the LORD and settled in the land of Nod, east of Eden.
Un Kains aizgāja no Tā Kunga vaiga un mita Nodzemē, Ēdenei pret rītiem.
17 And Cain had relations with his wife, and she conceived and gave birth to Enoch. Then Cain built a city and named it after his son Enoch.
Un Kains atzina savu sievu, un tā tapa grūta un dzemdēja Ēnohu; un viņš uztaisīja pilsētu un nosauca tās pilsētas vārdu pēc sava dēla vārda Ēnohu.
18 Now to Enoch was born Irad, and Irad was the father of Mehujael, and Mehujael was the father of Methusael, and Methusael was the father of Lamech.
Un Ēnoham dzima Īrads, un Īrads dzemdināja Meūjaēlu, un Meūjaēls dzemdināja Metusaēlu, un Metusaēls dzemdināja Lāmehu.
19 And Lamech married two women, one named Adah and the other Zillah.
Un Lāmehs apņēma divas sievas; pirmai bija vārds Ada, un otrai bija vārds Cilla.
20 Adah gave birth to Jabal; he was the father of those who dwell in tents and raise livestock.
Un Ada dzemdēja Jabalu; tas ir tēvs bijis tiem, kas teltīs dzīvoja un lopus audzināja.
21 And his brother’s name was Jubal; he was the father of all who play the harp and flute.
Un viņa brāļa vārds bija Jubals; tas ir tēvs bijis visiem koklētājiem un stabulniekiem.
22 And Zillah gave birth to Tubal-cain, a forger of every implement of bronze and iron. And the sister of Tubal-cain was Naamah.
Un Cilla arīdzan dzemdēja Tubalkaīnu, kas bija visādu vara un dzelzs rīku kalējs. Un Tubalkaīna māsa bija Naēma.
23 Then Lamech said to his wives: “Adah and Zillah, hear my voice; wives of Lamech, listen to my speech. For I have slain a man for wounding me, a young man for striking me.
Un Lāmehs sacīja uz savām sievām: Ada un Cilla, klausiet manu balsi, jūs Lāmeha sievas, ņemiet vērā manus vārdus! Jo es vīru nokauju par savu vāti un jaunekli par savu brūci.
24 If Cain is avenged sevenfold, then Lamech seventy-sevenfold.”
Jo Kains taps septiņkārt atriebts, bet Lāmehs septiņdesmit septiņkārt.
25 And Adam again had relations with his wife, and she gave birth to a son and named him Seth, saying, “God has granted me another seed in place of Abel, since Cain killed him.”
Un Ādams atzina atkal savu sievu, un tā dzemdēja dēlu un nosauca viņa vārdu Setu; jo (tā sacīja: ) Dievs man ir licis citu dzimumu Ābela vietā, jo Kains to ir nokāvis.
26 And to Seth also a son was born, and he called him Enosh. At that time men began to call upon the name of the LORD.
Un Setam arī dzima dēls, un tas nosauca viņa vārdu Enosu. Tai laikā iesāka piesaukt Tā Kunga vārdu.
