< Genesis 4 >

1 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.
وَعَرَفَ آدَمُ حَوَّاءَ ٱمْرَأَتَهُ فَحَبِلَتْ وَوَلَدَتْ قَايِينَ. وَقَالَتِ: «ٱقْتَنَيْتُ رَجُلًا مِنْ عِنْدِ ٱلرَّبِّ».١
2 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.
ثُمَّ عَادَتْ فَوَلَدَتْ أَخَاهُ هَابِيلَ. وَكَانَ هَابِيلُ رَاعِيًا لِلْغَنَمِ، وَكَانَ قَايِينُ عَامِلًا فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ.٢
3 And after a time, Cain gave to the Lord an offering of the fruits of the earth.
وَحَدَثَ مِنْ بَعْدِ أَيَّامٍ أَنَّ قَايِينَ قَدَّمَ مِنْ أَثْمَارِ ٱلْأَرْضِ قُرْبَانًا لِلرَّبِّ،٣
4 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;
وَقَدَّمَ هَابِيلُ أَيْضًا مِنْ أَبْكَارِ غَنَمِهِ وَمِنْ سِمَانِهَا. فَنَظَرَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَى هَابِيلَ وَقُرْبَانِهِ،٤
5 But in Cain and his offering he had no pleasure. And Cain was angry and his face became sad.
وَلَكِنْ إِلَى قَايِينَ وَقُرْبَانِهِ لَمْ يَنْظُرْ. فَٱغْتَاظَ قَايِينُ جِدًّا وَسَقَطَ وَجْهُهُ.٥
6 And the Lord said to Cain, Why are you angry? and why is your face sad?
فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِقَايِينَ: «لِمَاذَا ٱغْتَظْتَ؟ وَلِمَاذَا سَقَطَ وَجْهُكَ؟٦
7 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.
إِنْ أَحْسَنْتَ أَفَلَا رَفْعٌ؟ وَإِنْ لَمْ تُحْسِنْ فَعِنْدَ ٱلْبَابِ خَطِيَّةٌ رَابِضَةٌ، وَإِلَيْكَ ٱشْتِيَاقُهَا وَأَنْتَ تَسُودُ عَلَيْهَا».٧
8 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.
وَكَلَّمَ قَايِينُ هَابِيلَ أَخَاهُ. وَحَدَثَ إِذْ كَانَا فِي ٱلْحَقْلِ أَنَّ قَايِينَ قَامَ عَلَى هَابِيلَ أَخِيهِ وَقَتَلَهُ.٨
9 And the Lord said to Cain, Where is your brother Abel? And he said, I have no idea: am I my brother's keeper?
فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِقَايِينَ: «أَيْنَ هَابِيلُ أَخُوكَ؟» فَقَالَ: «لَا أَعْلَمُ! أَحَارِسٌ أَنَا لِأَخِي؟»٩
10 And he said, What have you done? the voice of your brother's blood is crying to me from the earth.
فَقَالَ: «مَاذَا فَعَلْتَ؟ صَوْتُ دَمِ أَخِيكَ صَارِخٌ إِلَيَّ مِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ.١٠
11 And now you are cursed from the earth, whose mouth is open to take your brother's blood from your hand;
فَٱلْآنَ مَلْعُونٌ أَنْتَ مِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي فَتَحَتْ فَاهَا لِتَقْبَلَ دَمَ أَخِيكَ مِنْ يَدِكَ.١١
12 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.
مَتَى عَمِلْتَ ٱلْأَرْضَ لَا تَعُودُ تُعْطِيكَ قُوَّتَهَا. تَائِهًا وَهَارِبًا تَكُونُ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ».١٢
13 And Cain said, My punishment is greater than my strength.
فَقَالَ قَايِينُ لِلرَّبِّ: «ذَنْبِي أَعْظَمُ مِنْ أَنْ يُحْتَمَلَ.١٣
14 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.
إِنَّكَ قَدْ طَرَدْتَنِي ٱلْيَوْمَ عَنْ وَجْهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَمِنْ وَجْهِكَ أَخْتَفِي وَأَكُونُ تَائِهًا وَهَارِبًا فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ، فَيَكُونُ كُلُّ مَنْ وَجَدَنِي يَقْتُلُنِي».١٤
15 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.
فَقَالَ لَهُ ٱلرَّبُّ: «لِذَلِكَ كُلُّ مَنْ قَتَلَ قَايِينَ فَسَبْعَةَ أَضْعَافٍ يُنْتَقَمُ مِنْهُ». وَجَعَلَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِقَايِينَ عَلَامَةً لِكَيْ لَا يَقْتُلَهُ كُلُّ مَنْ وَجَدَهُ.١٥
16 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.
فَخَرَجَ قَايِينُ مِنْ لَدُنِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَسَكَنَ فِي أَرْضِ نُودٍ شَرْقِيَّ عَدْنٍ.١٦
17 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.
وَعَرَفَ قَايِينُ ٱمْرَأَتَهُ فَحَبِلَتْ وَوَلَدَتْ حَنُوكَ. وَكَانَ يَبْنِي مَدِينَةً، فَدَعَا ٱسْمَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ كَٱسْمِ ٱبْنِهِ حَنُوكَ.١٧
18 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.
وَوُلِدَ لِحَنُوكَ عِيرَادُ. وَعِيرَادُ وَلَدَ مَحُويَائِيلَ. وَمَحُويَائِيلُ وَلَدَ مَتُوشَائِيلَ. وَمَتُوشَائِيلُ وَلَدَ لَامَكَ.١٨
19 And Lamech had two wives; the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah.
وَٱتَّخَذَ لَامَكُ لِنَفْسِهِ ٱمْرَأَتَيْنِ: ٱسْمُ ٱلْوَاحِدَةِ عَادَةُ، وَٱسْمُ ٱلْأُخْرَى صِلَّةُ.١٩
20 And Adah gave birth to Jabal: he was the father of such as are living in tents and keep cattle.
فَوَلَدَتْ عَادَةُ يَابَالَ ٱلَّذِي كَانَ أَبًا لِسَاكِنِي ٱلْخِيَامِ وَرُعَاةِ ٱلْمَوَاشِي.٢٠
21 And his brother's name was Jubal: he was the father of all players on instruments of music.
وَٱسْمُ أَخِيهِ يُوبَالُ ٱلَّذِي كَانَ أَبًا لِكُلِّ ضَارِبٍ بِٱلْعُودِ وَٱلْمِزْمَارِ.٢١
22 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.
وَصِلَّةُ أَيْضًا وَلَدَتْ تُوبَالَ قَايِينَ ٱلضَّارِبَ كُلَّ آلَةٍ مِنْ نُحَاسٍ وَحَدِيدٍ. وَأُخْتُ تُوبَالَ قَايِينَ نَعْمَةُ.٢٢
23 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;
وَقَالَ لَامَكُ لِٱمْرَأَتَيْهِ عَادَةَ وَصِلَّةَ: «ٱسْمَعَا قَوْلِي يَا ٱمْرَأَتَيْ لَامَكَ، وَأَصْغِيَا لِكَلَامِي. فَإِنِّي قَتَلْتُ رَجُلًا لِجُرْحِي، وَفَتىً لِشَدْخِي.٢٣
24 If seven lives are to be taken as punishment for Cain's death, seventy-seven will be taken for Lamech's.
إِنَّهُ يُنْتَقَمُ لِقَايِينَ سَبْعَةَ أَضْعَافٍ، وَأَمَّا لِلَامَكَ فَسَبْعَةً وَسَبْعِينَ».٢٤
25 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.
وَعَرَفَ آدَمُ ٱمْرَأَتَهُ أَيْضًا، فَوَلَدَتِ ٱبْنًا وَدَعَتِ ٱسْمَهُ شِيثًا، قَائِلَةً: «لِأَنَّ ٱللهَ قَدْ وَضَعَ لِي نَسْلًا آخَرَ عِوَضًا عَنْ هَابِيلَ». لِأَنَّ قَايِينَ كَانَ قَدْ قَتَلَهُ.٢٥
26 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.
وَلِشِيثَ أَيْضًا وُلِدَ ٱبْنٌ فَدَعَا ٱسْمَهُ أَنُوشَ. حِينَئِذٍ ٱبْتُدِئَ أَنْ يُدْعَى بِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ.٢٦
