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.
Čovjek pozna svoju ženu Evu, a ona zače i rodi Kajina, pa reče: “Muško sam čedo stekla pomoću Jahve!”
2 And againe she brought foorth his brother Habel, and Habel was a keeper of sheepe, and Kain was a tiller of the ground.
Poslije rodi Abela, brata Kajinova; Abel postane stočar, a Kajin zemljoradnik.
3 And in processe of time it came to passe, that Kain brought an oblation vnto the Lord of the fruite of the ground.
I jednoga dana Kajin prinese Jahvi žrtvu od zemaljskih plodova.
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,
A prinese i Abel od prvine svoje stoke, sve po izbor pretilinu. Jahve milostivo pogleda na Abela i njegovu žrtvu,
5 But vnto Kain and to his offering he had no regarde: wherefore Kain was exceeding wroth, and his countenance fell downe.
a na Kajina i žrtvu njegovu ni pogleda ne svrati. Stoga se Kajin veoma razljuti i lice mu se namrgodi.
6 Then ye Lord said vnto Kain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance cast downe?
I Jahve reče Kajinu: “Zašto si ljut? Zašto ti je lice namrgođeno?
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.
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 Then Kain spake to Habel his brother. And when they were in the fielde, Kain rose vp against Habel his brother, and slewe him.
Kajin pak reče svome bratu Abelu: “Hajdemo van!” I našavši se na polju, Kajin skoči na brata Abela te ga ubi.
9 Then the Lord said vnto Kain, Where is Habel thy brother? Who answered, I cannot tell. Am I my brothers keeper?
Potom Jahve zapita Kajina: “Gdje ti je brat Abel?” “Ne znam”, odgovori. “Zar sam ja čuvar brata svoga?”
10 Againe he said, What hast thou done? the voyce of thy brothers blood cryeth vnto me from the earth.
Jahve nastavi: “Što si učinio? Slušaj! Krv brata tvoga iz zemlje k meni viče.
11 Now therefore thou art cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receiue thy brothers blood from thine hand.
Stoga budi proklet na zemlji koja je rastvorila usta da proguta s ruke tvoje krv brata tvoga!
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.
Obrađivat ćeš zemlju, ali ti više neće davati svoga roda. Vječni ćeš skitalica na zemlji biti!”
13 Then Kain said to the Lord, My punishment is greater, then I can beare.
A Kajin reče Jahvi: “Kazna je moja odviše teška da se snosi.
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.
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 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.
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 Then Kain went out from the presence of the Lord, and dwelt in the land of Nod towarde the Eastside of Eden.
Kajin ode ispred lica Jahvina u zemlju Nod, istočno od Edena, i ondje se nastani.
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.
Kajin pozna svoju ženu te ona zače i rodi Henoka. Podigao je grad i grad prozvao imenom svoga sina - Henok.
18 And to Henoch was borne Irad, and Irad begate Mehuiael, and Mehuiael begate Methushael, and Methushael begate Lamech.
Henoku se rodio Irad, a od Irada potekao Mehujael; od Mehujaela poteče Metušael, od Metušaela Lamek.
19 And Lamech tooke him two wiues: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah.
Lamek uzme dvije žene. Jedna se zvala Ada, a druga Sila.
20 And Adah bare Iabal, who was the father of such as dwell in the tents, and of such as haue cattell.
Ada rodi Jabala, koji je postao praocem onih što pod šatorima žive sa stokom.
21 And his brothers name was Iubal, who was the father of all that play on the harpe and organes.
Bratu mu bijaše ime Jubal. On je praotac svih koji sviraju na liru i sviralu.
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.
Sila rodi Tubal-Kajina, praoca onih koji kuju bakar i željezo. Tubal-Kajinovoj sestri bijaše ime Naama.
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.
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 Kain shalbe auenged seuen folde, truely Lamech, seuentie times seuen folde.
Ako će Kajin biti osvećen sedmerostruko, Lamek će sedamdeset i sedam puta!”
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.
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 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.
Šetu se rodi sin, komu on nadjenu ime Enoš. Tada se počelo zazivati ime Jahvino.
