< Genesis 4 >

1 And Man knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bore Cain, and said, I have acquired a man with Jehovah.
Iza toga Adam pozna Jevu ženu svoju, a ona zatrudnje i rodi Kajina, i reèe: dobih èovjeka od Gospoda.
2 And she further bore his brother Abel. And Abel was a shepherd, but Cain was a husbandman.
I rodi opet brata njegova Avelja. I Avelj posta pastir a Kajin ratar.
3 And in process of time it came to pass that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering to Jehovah.
A poslije nekoga vremena dogodi se, te Kajin prinese Gospodu prinos od roda zemaljskoga;
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;
A i Avelj prinese od prvina stada svojega i od njihove pretiline. I Gospod pogleda na Avelja i na njegov prinos,
5 and upon Cain, and on his offering, he did not look. And Cain was very angry, and his countenance fell.
A na Kajina i na njegov prinos ne pogleda. Zato se Kajin rasrdi veoma, i lice mu se promijeni.
6 And Jehovah said to Cain, Why art thou angry, and why is thy countenance fallen?
Tada reèe Gospod Kajinu: što se srdiš? što li ti se lice promijeni?
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.
Neæeš li biti mio, kad dobro èiniš? a kad ne èiniš dobro, grijeh je na vratima. A volja je njegova pod tvojom vlašæu, i ti si mu stariji.
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.
Poslije govoraše Kajin s Aveljem bratom svojim. Ali kad bijahu u polju, skoèi Kajin na Avelja brata svojega, i ubi ga.
9 And Jehovah said to Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: am I my brother's keeper?
Tada reèe Gospod Kajinu: gdje ti je brat Avelj? A on odgovori: ne znam; zar sam ja èuvar brata svojega?
10 And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood is crying to me from the ground.
A Bog reèe: šta uèini! glas krvi brata tvojega vièe sa zemlje k meni.
11 And now be thou cursed from the ground, which hath opened its mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand.
I sada, da si proklet na zemlji, koja je otvorila usta svoja da primi krv brata tvojega iz ruke tvoje.
12 When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield thee its strength; a wanderer and fugitive shalt thou be on the earth.
Kad zemlju uzradiš, neæe ti više davati blaga svojega. Biæeš potukaè i bjegunac na zemlji.
13 And Cain said to Jehovah, My punishment is too great to be borne.
A Kajin reèe Gospodu: krivica je moja velika da mi se ne može oprostiti.
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.
Evo me tjeraš danas iz ove zemlje da se krijem ispred tebe, i da se skitam i potucam po zemlji, pa æe me ubiti ko me udesi.
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.
A Gospod mu reèe: zato ko ubije Kajina, sedam æe se puta to pokajati. I naèini Gospod znak na Kajinu da ga ne ubije ko ga udesi.
16 And Cain went out from the presence of Jehovah, and dwelt in the land of Nod, toward the east of Eden.
I otide Kajin ispred Gospoda, i naseli se u zemlji Naidskoj na istoku prema Edemu.
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.
I pozna Kajin ženu svoju, a ona zatrudnje i rodi Enoha. I sazida grad i prozva ga po imenu sina svojega Enoh.
18 And to Enoch was born Irad; and Irad begot Mehujael; and Mehujael begot Methushael; and Methushael begot Lemech.
A Enohu rodi se Gaidad; a Gaidad rodi Maleleila; a Maleleilo rodi Matusala; a Matusal rodi Lameha.
19 And Lemech took two wives: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the second, Zillah.
I uze Lameh dvije žene: jednoj bješe ime Ada a drugoj Sela.
20 And Adah bore Jabal: he was the father of those who dwell in tents, and [breed] cattle.
I Ada rodi Jovila; od njega se narodiše koji žive pod šatorima i stoku pasu.
21 And his brother's name was Jubal: he was the father of those who handle the harp and pipe.
A bratu njegovu bješe ime Juval; od njega se narodiše gudaèi i sviraèi.
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.
A i Sela rodi Tovela, koji bješe vješt kovati svašta od mjedi i od gvožða; a sestra Tovelu bješe Noema.
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.
I reèe Lameh svojima ženama, Adi i Seli: èujte glas moj, žene Lamehove, poslušajte rijeèi moje: ubiæu èovjeka za ranu svoju i mladiæa za masnicu svoju.
24 If Cain shall be avenged seven-fold; Lemech seventy and seven fold.
Kad æe se Kajin osvetiti sedam puta, Lameh æe sedamdeset i sedam puta.
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.
A Adam opet pozna ženu svoju, i ona rodi sina, i nadje mu ime Sit, jer mi, reèe, Bog dade drugoga sina za Avelja, kojega ubi Kajin.
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.
I Situ se rodi sin, kojemu nadjede ime Enos. Tada se poèe prizivati ime Gospodnje.
