Genesis 4
1 And Adam knew Eve his wife: who conceived and brought forth Cain, saying: I have gotten a man through God.
Адам же позна Еву жену свою, и заченши роди Каина и рече: стяжах человека Богом.
2 And again she brought forth his brother Abel. And Abel was a shepherd, and Cain a husbandman.
И приложи родити брата его, Авеля. И бысть Авель пастырь овец, Каин же бе делаяй землю.
3 And it came to pass after many days, that Cain offered, of the fruits of the earth, gifts to the Lord.
И бысть по днех, принесе Каин от плодов земли жертву Богу:
4 Abel also offered of the firstlings of his flock, and of their fat: and the Lord had respect to Abel, and to his offerings.
и Авель принесе и той от первородных овец своих и от туков их. И призре Бог на Авеля и на дары его:
5 But to Cain and his offerings he had no respect: and Cain was exceedingly angry, and his countenance fell.
на Каина же и на жертвы его не внят. И опечалися Каин зело, и испаде лице его.
6 And the Lord said to him: Why art thou angry? and why is thy countenance fallen?
И рече Господь Бог Каину: вскую прискорбен был еси? И вскую испаде лице твое?
7 If thou do well, shalt thou not receive? but if ill, shall not sin forthwith be present at the door? but the lust thereof shall be under thee, and thou shalt have dominion over it.
Еда аще право принесл еси, право же не разделил еси, не согрешил ли еси? Умолкни: к тебе обращение его, и ты тем обладаеши.
8 And Cain said to Abel his brother: Let us go forth abroad. And when they were in the field, Cain rose up against his brother Abel, and slew him.
И рече Каин ко Авелю брату своему: пойдем на поле. И бысть внегда быти им на поли, воста Каин на Авеля брата своего и уби его.
9 And the Lord said to Cain: Where is thy brother Abel? And he answered, I know not: am I my brother’s keeper?
И рече Господь Бог ко Каину: где есть Авель брат твой? И рече: не вем: еда страж брату моему есмь аз?
10 And he said to him: What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother’s blood crieth to me from the earth.
И рече Господь: что сотворил еси сие? Глас крове брата твоего вопиет ко Мне от земли:
11 Now, therefore, cursed shalt thou be upon the earth, which hath opened her mouth and received the blood of thy brother at thy hand.
и ныне проклят ты на земли, яже разверзе уста своя прияти кровь брата твоего от руки твоея:
12 When thou shalt till it, it shall not yield to thee its fruit: a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be upon the earth.
егда делаеши землю, и не приложит силы своея дати тебе: стеня и трясыйся будеши на земли.
13 And Cain said to the Lord: My iniquity is greater than that I may deserve pardon.
И рече Каин ко Господу Богу: вящшая вина моя, еже оставитися ми:
14 Behold thou dost cast me out this day from the face of the earth, and I shall be hidden from thy face, and I shall be a vagabond and a fugitive on the earth: every one, therefore, that findeth me, shall kill me.
аще изгониши мя днесь от лица земли, и от лица Твоего скрыюся, и буду стеня и трясыйся на земли, и будет, всяк обретаяй мя убиет мя.
15 And the Lord said to him: No, it shall not be so: but whosoever shall kill Cain, shall be punished sevenfold. And the Lord set a mark upon Cain, that whosoever found him should not kill him.
И рече ему Господь Бог: не тако: всяк убивый Каина седмижды отмстится. И положи Господь Бог знамение на Каине, еже не убити его всякому обретающему его.
16 And Cain went out from the face of the Lord, and dwelt as a fugitive on the earth, at the east side of Eden.
И изыде Каин от лица Божия и вселися в землю Наид, прямо Едему.
17 And Cain knew his wife, and she conceived, and brought forth Henoch: and he built a city, and called the name thereof by the name of his son Henoch.
И позна Каин жену свою, и заченши роди Еноха. И бе зиждяй град, и именова град во имя сына своего Енох.
18 And Henoch begot Irad, and Irad begot Maviael, and Maviael begot Mathusael, and Mathusael begot Lamech:
Родися же Еноху Гаидад: и Гаидад роди Малелеила: и Малелеил роди Мафусала: Мафусал же роди Ламеха.
19 Who took two wives: the name of the one was Ada, and the name of the other Sella.
И взя себе Ламех две жены: имя единей Ада и имя вторей Селла.
20 And Ada brought forth Jabel: who was the father of such as dwell in tents, and of herdsmen.
И роди Ада Иовила: сей бяше отец живущих в селениих скотопитателей.
21 And his brother’s name was Jubal; he was the father of them that play upon the harp and the organs.
И имя брату его Иувал: сей бяше показавый певницу и гусли.
22 Sella also brought forth Tubalcain, who was a hammerer and artificer in every work of brass and iron. And the sister of Tubalcain was Noema.
Селла же и тая роди Фовела: сей бяше млатобиец, ковачь меди и железа: сестра же Фовелова Ноема.
23 And Lamech said to his wives Ada and Sella: Hear my voice, ye wives of Lamech, hearken to my speech: for I have slain a man to the wounding of myself, and a stripling to my own bruising.
Рече же Ламех своим женам: Ада и Селла, услышите глас мой, жены Ламеховы, внушите моя словеса: яко мужа убих в язву мне и юношу в струп мне:
24 Sevenfold vengeance shall be taken for Cain: but for Lamech seventy times sevenfold.
яко седмицею отмстися от Каина, от Ламеха же седмьдесят седмицею.
25 Adam also knew his wife again: and she brought forth a son, and called his name Seth, saying: God hath given me another seed, for Abel whom Cain slew.
Позна же Адам Еву жену свою: и заченши роди сына, и именова имя ему Сиф, глаголющи: воскреси бо ми Бог семя другое, вместо Авеля, егоже уби Каин.
26 But to Seth also was born a son, whom he called Enos; this man began to call upon the name of the Lord.
И Сифу бысть сын: именова же имя ему Енос: сей упова призывати имя Господа Бога.
