Genesis 4
1 Afterward the man knew Heuah his wife, which conceiued and bare Kain, and said, I haue obteined a man by the Lord.
亞當認識了自己的妻子厄娃，厄娃懷了孕，生了加音說：「我賴上主獲得了一個人。」
2 And againe she brought foorth his brother Habel, and Habel was a keeper of sheepe, and Kain was a tiller of the ground.
以後她生了加音的弟弟亞伯爾；亞伯爾牧羊，加音耕田。
3 And in processe of time it came to passe, that Kain brought an oblation vnto the Lord of the fruite of the ground.
有一天，加音把田地的出產作品獻給天主；
4 And Habel also him selfe brought of the first fruites of his sheepe, and of the fat of them, and the Lord had respect vnto Habel, and to his offering,
同時亞伯爾獻上自己羊群中最肥美而又是首生的羊；上主惠顧了亞伯爾和他的祭品，
5 But vnto Kain and to his offering he had no regarde: wherefore Kain was exceeding wroth, and his countenance fell downe.
卻沒有惠顧加音和他的祭品；因此加音大怒，垂頭喪氣。
6 Then ye Lord said vnto Kain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance cast downe?
上主對加音說：「你為什麼發怒﹖為什麼垂頭喪氣﹖
7 If thou do well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sinne lieth at the doore: also vnto thee his desire shalbe subiect, and thou shalt rule ouer him.
你若做得好，豈不也可仰起頭來﹖你若做得不好，罪惡就伏在你門前，企圖對付你，但你應制服它。」
8 Then Kain spake to Habel his brother. And when they were in the fielde, Kain rose vp against Habel his brother, and slewe him.
事後加音對他弟弟亞伯爾說：「我們到田間去! 」當他們在田間的時候，加音就襲擊了弟弟亞伯爾，將他殺死。
9 Then the Lord said vnto Kain, Where is Habel thy brother? Who answered, I cannot tell. Am I my brothers keeper?
上主對加音說：「你弟弟亞伯爾在那裏﹖」他答說：「我不知道，難道我是看守我弟弟的人﹖」
10 Againe he said, What hast thou done? the voyce of thy brothers blood cryeth vnto me from the earth.
上主說：「你作什麼事﹖聽! 你弟弟的血由地上向我喊冤。
11 Now therefore thou art cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receiue thy brothers blood from thine hand.
你現在是地上所咒罵的人，地張開口由你手中接收了你弟弟的血，
12 When thou shalt till the grounde, it shall not henceforth yeelde vnto thee her strength: a vagabond and a runnagate shalt thou be in the earth.
從此你即使耕種，地也不會給你出產；你在地上要成個流離失所的人。」
13 Then Kain said to the Lord, My punishment is greater, then I can beare.
加音對上主說：「我的罪罰太重，無法承擔。
14 Behold, thou hast cast me out this day from the earth, and from thy face shall I be hid, and shalbe a vagabond, and a runnagate in the earth, and whosoeuer findeth me, shall slay me.
看你今天將我由這地面上驅逐，我該躲避你的面，在地上成了個流離失所的人；那麼凡遇見我的，必要殺我。」
15 Then the Lord said vnto him, Doubtlesse whosoeuer slayeth Kain, he shalbe punished seue folde. And the Lord set a marke vpon Kain, lest any man finding him should kill him.
上主對他說：「決不這樣，凡殺加音的人，一定要受七倍的罰。」上主遂給加音一個記號，以免遇見他的人擊殺他。
16 Then Kain went out from the presence of the Lord, and dwelt in the land of Nod towarde the Eastside of Eden.
加音就離開上主的面，住在伊甸東方的諾得地方。
17 Kain also knewe his wife, which conceiued and bare Henoch: and he built a citie, and called the name of the citie by ye name of his sonne, Henoch.
加音認識了自己的妻子，她懷了孕，生了哈諾客。加音建築了一座城，即以他兒子的名字，給這城起名叫「哈諾客。」
18 And to Henoch was borne Irad, and Irad begate Mehuiael, and Mehuiael begate Methushael, and Methushael begate Lamech.
哈諾客生了依辣得；依辣得生了默胡雅耳；默胡雅耳生了默突沙耳；默突沙耳生了拉默客。
19 And Lamech tooke him two wiues: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah.
拉默客娶了兩個妻子：一個名叫阿達，一個名叫漆拉。
20 And Adah bare Iabal, who was the father of such as dwell in the tents, and of such as haue cattell.
阿達生了雅巴耳，他是住在帳幕內畜牧者的始組。
21 And his brothers name was Iubal, who was the father of all that play on the harpe and organes.
他的弟弟名叫猶巴耳，他是所有彈琴吹簫者的始祖。
22 And Zillah also bare Tubal-kain, who wrought cunningly euery craft of brasse and of yron: and the sister of Tubal-kain was Naamah.
同時漆拉也生了突巴耳加音，他是製造各種銅鐵器具的匠人。突巴耳加音有個姊妹名叫納阿瑪拉。
23 Then Lamech saide vnto his wiues Adah and Zillah, Heare my voyce, ye wiues of Lamech: hearken vnto my speach: for I would slay a man in my wound, and a yong man in mine hurt.
默客對自己的妻子說：「阿達和漆拉傾聽我的聲音，拉默客的妻子，靜聆我的言語：因我受傷，殺了一成年；因我受損，殺了一青年；
24 If Kain shalbe auenged seuen folde, truely Lamech, seuentie times seuen folde.
殺加音的受罰是七倍，殺拉默客的是七十七倍。」
25 And Adam knewe his wife againe, and she bare a sonne, and she called his name Sheth: for God, saide she, hath appointed me another seede for Habel, because Kain slewe him.
亞當又認識了自己的妻子，她生了個兒子，給他起名叫舍特說：「天主又賜給了我一個兒子，代替加音殺了的亞伯爾。」
26 And to ye same Sheth also there was borne a sonne, and he called his name Enosh. Then beganne men to call vpon the name of the Lord.
舍特也生了一個兒子，給他起名叫厄諾士。那時人才開始呼求上主的名。
