< Genesis 4 >

1 And Man knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bore Cain, and said, I have acquired a man with Jehovah.
وَعَرَفَ آدَمُ حَوَّاءَ ٱمْرَأَتَهُ فَحَبِلَتْ وَوَلَدَتْ قَايِينَ. وَقَالَتِ: «ٱقْتَنَيْتُ رَجُلًا مِنْ عِنْدِ ٱلرَّبِّ».١
2 And she further bore his brother Abel. And Abel was a shepherd, but Cain was a husbandman.
ثُمَّ عَادَتْ فَوَلَدَتْ أَخَاهُ هَابِيلَ. وَكَانَ هَابِيلُ رَاعِيًا لِلْغَنَمِ، وَكَانَ قَايِينُ عَامِلًا فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ.٢
3 And in process of time it came to pass that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering to Jehovah.
وَحَدَثَ مِنْ بَعْدِ أَيَّامٍ أَنَّ قَايِينَ قَدَّمَ مِنْ أَثْمَارِ ٱلْأَرْضِ قُرْبَانًا لِلرَّبِّ،٣
4 And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock, and of their fat. And Jehovah looked upon Abel, and on his offering;
وَقَدَّمَ هَابِيلُ أَيْضًا مِنْ أَبْكَارِ غَنَمِهِ وَمِنْ سِمَانِهَا. فَنَظَرَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَى هَابِيلَ وَقُرْبَانِهِ،٤
5 and upon Cain, and on his offering, he did not look. And Cain was very angry, and his countenance fell.
وَلَكِنْ إِلَى قَايِينَ وَقُرْبَانِهِ لَمْ يَنْظُرْ. فَٱغْتَاظَ قَايِينُ جِدًّا وَسَقَطَ وَجْهُهُ.٥
6 And Jehovah said to Cain, Why art thou angry, and why is thy countenance fallen?
فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِقَايِينَ: «لِمَاذَا ٱغْتَظْتَ؟ وَلِمَاذَا سَقَطَ وَجْهُكَ؟٦
7 If thou doest well, will not [thy countenance] look up [with confidence]? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door; and unto thee [shall be] his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.
إِنْ أَحْسَنْتَ أَفَلَا رَفْعٌ؟ وَإِنْ لَمْ تُحْسِنْ فَعِنْدَ ٱلْبَابِ خَطِيَّةٌ رَابِضَةٌ، وَإِلَيْكَ ٱشْتِيَاقُهَا وَأَنْتَ تَسُودُ عَلَيْهَا».٧
8 And Cain spoke to Abel his brother, and it came to pass when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.
وَكَلَّمَ قَايِينُ هَابِيلَ أَخَاهُ. وَحَدَثَ إِذْ كَانَا فِي ٱلْحَقْلِ أَنَّ قَايِينَ قَامَ عَلَى هَابِيلَ أَخِيهِ وَقَتَلَهُ.٨
9 And Jehovah said to Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: am I my brother's keeper?
فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِقَايِينَ: «أَيْنَ هَابِيلُ أَخُوكَ؟» فَقَالَ: «لَا أَعْلَمُ! أَحَارِسٌ أَنَا لِأَخِي؟»٩
10 And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood is crying to me from the ground.
فَقَالَ: «مَاذَا فَعَلْتَ؟ صَوْتُ دَمِ أَخِيكَ صَارِخٌ إِلَيَّ مِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ.١٠
11 And now be thou cursed from the ground, which hath opened its mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand.
فَٱلْآنَ مَلْعُونٌ أَنْتَ مِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي فَتَحَتْ فَاهَا لِتَقْبَلَ دَمَ أَخِيكَ مِنْ يَدِكَ.١١
12 When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield thee its strength; a wanderer and fugitive shalt thou be on the earth.
مَتَى عَمِلْتَ ٱلْأَرْضَ لَا تَعُودُ تُعْطِيكَ قُوَّتَهَا. تَائِهًا وَهَارِبًا تَكُونُ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ».١٢
13 And Cain said to Jehovah, My punishment is too great to be borne.
فَقَالَ قَايِينُ لِلرَّبِّ: «ذَنْبِي أَعْظَمُ مِنْ أَنْ يُحْتَمَلَ.١٣
14 Behold, thou hast driven me this day from the face of the ground, and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a wanderer and fugitive on the earth; and it will come to pass, [that] every one who finds me will slay me.
إِنَّكَ قَدْ طَرَدْتَنِي ٱلْيَوْمَ عَنْ وَجْهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَمِنْ وَجْهِكَ أَخْتَفِي وَأَكُونُ تَائِهًا وَهَارِبًا فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ، فَيَكُونُ كُلُّ مَنْ وَجَدَنِي يَقْتُلُنِي».١٤
15 And Jehovah said to him, Therefore, whoever slayeth Cain, it shall be revenged sevenfold. And Jehovah set a mark on Cain, lest any finding him should smite him.
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 out from the presence of Jehovah, and dwelt in the land of Nod, toward the east of Eden.
فَخَرَجَ قَايِينُ مِنْ لَدُنِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَسَكَنَ فِي أَرْضِ نُودٍ شَرْقِيَّ عَدْنٍ.١٦
17 And Cain knew his wife, and she conceived and bore Enoch. And he built a city; and he called the name of the city after the name of his son Enoch.
وَعَرَفَ قَايِينُ ٱمْرَأَتَهُ فَحَبِلَتْ وَوَلَدَتْ حَنُوكَ. وَكَانَ يَبْنِي مَدِينَةً، فَدَعَا ٱسْمَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ كَٱسْمِ ٱبْنِهِ حَنُوكَ.١٧
18 And to Enoch was born Irad; and Irad begot Mehujael; and Mehujael begot Methushael; and Methushael begot Lemech.
وَوُلِدَ لِحَنُوكَ عِيرَادُ. وَعِيرَادُ وَلَدَ مَحُويَائِيلَ. وَمَحُويَائِيلُ وَلَدَ مَتُوشَائِيلَ. وَمَتُوشَائِيلُ وَلَدَ لَامَكَ.١٨
19 And Lemech took two wives: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the second, Zillah.
وَٱتَّخَذَ لَامَكُ لِنَفْسِهِ ٱمْرَأَتَيْنِ: ٱسْمُ ٱلْوَاحِدَةِ عَادَةُ، وَٱسْمُ ٱلْأُخْرَى صِلَّةُ.١٩
20 And Adah bore Jabal: he was the father of those who dwell in tents, and [breed] 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 those who handle the harp and pipe.
وَٱسْمُ أَخِيهِ يُوبَالُ ٱلَّذِي كَانَ أَبًا لِكُلِّ ضَارِبٍ بِٱلْعُودِ وَٱلْمِزْمَارِ.٢١
22 And Zillah, she also bore Tubal-Cain, the forger of every kind of tool 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 Lemech said to his wives: Adah and Zillah, hear my voice, Ye wives of Lemech, listen to my speech. For I have slain a man for my wound, and a youth for my bruise.
وَقَالَ لَامَكُ لِٱمْرَأَتَيْهِ عَادَةَ وَصِلَّةَ: «ٱسْمَعَا قَوْلِي يَا ٱمْرَأَتَيْ لَامَكَ، وَأَصْغِيَا لِكَلَامِي. فَإِنِّي قَتَلْتُ رَجُلًا لِجُرْحِي، وَفَتىً لِشَدْخِي.٢٣
24 If Cain shall be avenged seven-fold; Lemech seventy and seven fold.
إِنَّهُ يُنْتَقَمُ لِقَايِينَ سَبْعَةَ أَضْعَافٍ، وَأَمَّا لِلَامَكَ فَسَبْعَةً وَسَبْعِينَ».٢٤
25 And Adam knew his wife again, and she bore a son, and called his name Seth: ...For God has appointed me another seed instead of Abel, because Cain has slain him.
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 to Seth, to him also was born a son; and he called his name Enosh. Then people began to call on the name of Jehovah.
وَلِشِيثَ أَيْضًا وُلِدَ ٱبْنٌ فَدَعَا ٱسْمَهُ أَنُوشَ. حِينَئِذٍ ٱبْتُدِئَ أَنْ يُدْعَى بِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ.٢٦
