Genesis 4
1 Adam slept with his wife Eve and she became pregnant. She gave birth to Cain, and said, “With the Lord's help I have made a man.”
Čovjek pozna svoju ženu Evu, a ona zače i rodi Kajina, pa reče: “Muško sam čedo stekla pomoću Jahve!”
2 Later she gave birth to his brother Abel. Abel became a shepherd, while Cain was a crop farmer.
Poslije rodi Abela, brata Kajinova; Abel postane stočar, a Kajin zemljoradnik.
3 Sometime later Cain brought some of the produce he'd grown as an offering to the Lord.
I jednoga dana Kajin prinese Jahvi žrtvu od zemaljskih plodova.
4 Abel also brought an offering: the firstborn lambs of his flock, selecting the very best parts to offer. The Lord was pleased with Abel and his offering,
A prinese i Abel od prvine svoje stoke, sve po izbor pretilinu. Jahve milostivo pogleda na Abela i njegovu žrtvu,
5 but he wasn't pleased with Cain and his offering, which made Cain very angry and he frowned in annoyance.
a na Kajina i žrtvu njegovu ni pogleda ne svrati. Stoga se Kajin veoma razljuti i lice mu se namrgodi.
6 The Lord said to Cain, “Why are you so angry? Why do you look so annoyed?
I Jahve reče Kajinu: “Zašto si ljut? Zašto ti je lice namrgođeno?
7 If you were doing what's right, then you'd be looking happy. But if you don't do what's right, then sin will be like animal crouching outside your home, ready to pounce on you. It wants to have you, but you must be the one in control.”
Jer ako pravo radiš, vedrinom odsijevaš. A ne radiš li pravo, grijeh ti je kao zvijer na pragu što na te vreba; još mu se možeš oduprijeti.”
8 Later, when Cain was talking with his brother Abel they went out into the fields where Cain attacked his brother and killed him.
Kajin pak reče svome bratu Abelu: “Hajdemo van!” I našavši se na polju, Kajin skoči na brata Abela te ga ubi.
9 “Where is your brother Abel?” the Lord asked Cain. “How should I know?” he replied. “Am I supposed to be my brother's care-giver?”
Potom Jahve zapita Kajina: “Gdje ti je brat Abel?” “Ne znam”, odgovori. “Zar sam ja čuvar brata svoga?”
10 “What have you done?” the Lord asked. “Your brother's blood is crying out to me from the ground.
Jahve nastavi: “Što si učinio? Slušaj! Krv brata tvoga iz zemlje k meni viče.
11 Consequently you are more cursed than the ground because you soaked it with your brother's blood.
Stoga budi proklet na zemlji koja je rastvorila usta da proguta s ruke tvoje krv brata tvoga!
12 When you cultivate the ground, it won't produce crops for you. You'll be always on the run, wandering all over the earth.”
Obrađivat ćeš zemlju, ali ti više neće davati svoga roda. Vječni ćeš skitalica na zemlji biti!”
13 “My punishment is more than I can take,” Cain replied.
A Kajin reče Jahvi: “Kazna je moja odviše teška da se snosi.
14 “Look! You're driving me away right now—cursing the ground and banishing me from your presence. I'm going to have to hide and always be on the run, left to wander all over the earth. Anyone who finds me is going to kill me!”
Evo me tjeraš danas s plodnoga tla; moram se skrivati od tvoga lica i biti vječni lutalac na zemlji - tko me god nađe, može me ubiti.”
15 But the Lord replied, “No, Cain. Anyone who kills you will be punished seven times over.” The Lord placed a mark on Cain so that no one who came across him would kill him.
A Jahve mu reče: “Ne! Nego tko ubije Kajina, sedmerostruka osveta na njemu će se izvršiti!” I Jahve stavi znak na Kajina, da ga tko, našavši ga, ne ubije.
16 So Cain left the Lord's presence and went to live in a land called Nod, east of Eden.
Kajin ode ispred lica Jahvina u zemlju Nod, istočno od Edena, i ondje se nastani.
17 Cain slept with his wife and she became pregnant. She had a son named Enoch. At that time Cain was building a town, so he named it after his son Enoch.
Kajin pozna svoju ženu te ona zače i rodi Henoka. Podigao je grad i grad prozvao imenom svoga sina - Henok.
18 Enoch had a son named Irad. Irad was the father of Mehujael, Mehujael was the father of Methushael, and Methushael was the father of Lamech.
Henoku se rodio Irad, a od Irada potekao Mehujael; od Mehujaela poteče Metušael, od Metušaela Lamek.
19 Lamech married two women. The first was named Adah, and the second was named Zillah.
Lamek uzme dvije žene. Jedna se zvala Ada, a druga Sila.
20 Adah had a son named Jabal. He was the father of those who live in tents and have livestock.
Ada rodi Jabala, koji je postao praocem onih što pod šatorima žive sa stokom.
21 He had a brother named Jubal; he was the father of all those who play stringed and wind instruments.
Bratu mu bijaše ime Jubal. On je praotac svih koji sviraju na liru i sviralu.
22 Zillah also had a son. He was named Tubal-cain and he was a blacksmith, making different kinds of tools out of bronze and iron. Tubal-cain's sister was named Naamah.
Sila rodi Tubal-Kajina, praoca onih koji kuju bakar i željezo. Tubal-Kajinovoj sestri bijaše ime Naama.
23 At one time Lamech told his wives, “Adah and Zillah, listen to me. You wives of Lamech, pay attention to what I have to say. I killed a man because he wounded me; I killed a young man because he injured me.
Lamek prozbori svojim ženama: “Ada i Sila, glas moj poslušajte! Žene Lamekove, čujte mi besjedu: Čovjeka sam ubio jer me ranio i dijete jer me udarilo.
24 If the sentence for killing Cain was to be punished seven times over, then if someone kills me, Lamech, the punishment should be seventy-seven times.”
Ako će Kajin biti osvećen sedmerostruko, Lamek će sedamdeset i sedam puta!”
25 Adam slept with his wife again, and she had a son and named him Seth, explaining that, “God has given me another child to replace Abel, the one Cain killed.”
Adam pozna svoju ženu te ona rodi sina i nadjenu mu ime Šet. Reče ona: “Bog mi dade drugo dijete mjesto Abela, koga ubi Kajin.”
26 Later Seth had a son named Enosh, because at that time people began to worship the Lord by name.
Šetu se rodi sin, komu on nadjenu ime Enoš. Tada se počelo zazivati ime Jahvino.
