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.
Adam je spoznal svojo ženo Evo in ta je spočela ter rodila Kajna in rekla: »Dobila sem človeka od Gospoda.«
2 And againe she brought foorth his brother Habel, and Habel was a keeper of sheepe, and Kain was a tiller of the ground.
In ponovno je rodila njegovega brata Abela. In Abel je bil čuvaj ovc, toda Kajn je bil orač tal.
3 And in processe of time it came to passe, that Kain brought an oblation vnto the Lord of the fruite of the ground.
Tekom časa se je pripetilo, da je Kajn od sadu tal prinesel daritev Gospodu.
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,
In tudi Abel je prinesel prvence od svojega tropa in od njihove tolšče. In Gospod je imel spoštovanje do Abela in njegove daritve,
5 But vnto Kain and to his offering he had no regarde: wherefore Kain was exceeding wroth, and his countenance fell downe.
toda do Kajna in njegove daritve [pa] ni imel spoštovanja. In Kajn je bil zelo ogorčen in njegovo obličje je upadlo.
6 Then ye Lord said vnto Kain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance cast downe?
Gospod je rekel Kajnu: »Zakaj si ogorčen? In zakaj je tvoje obličje upadlo?
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.
Če delaš dobro ali ne boš sprejet? Če pa ne delaš dobro, greh leži pri vratih. Njegovo poželenje naj bo k tebi, ti pa boš vladal nad njim.«
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.
Kajn je govoril s svojim bratom Abelom, in ko sta bila na polju, se je pripetilo, da se je Kajn dvignil zoper svojega brata Abela in ga ubil.
9 Then the Lord said vnto Kain, Where is Habel thy brother? Who answered, I cannot tell. Am I my brothers keeper?
Gospod je rekel Kajnu: »Kje je tvoj brat, Abel?« On pa je rekel: »Ne vem. Sem mar jaz čuvaj svojega brata?«
10 Againe he said, What hast thou done? the voyce of thy brothers blood cryeth vnto me from the earth.
Rekel je: »Kaj si storil? Glas krvi tvojega brata iz tal vpije k meni.
11 Now therefore thou art cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receiue thy brothers blood from thine hand.
Sedaj si preklet pred zemljo, ki je odprla svoja usta, da iz tvoje roke sprejme kri tvojega brata.
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.
Ko boš oral tla, ti odslej ne bodo obrodila svoje moči; na zemlji boš ubežnik in potepuh.«
13 Then Kain said to the Lord, My punishment is greater, then I can beare.
Kajn je Gospodu rekel: »Moja kazen je večja, kakor jo lahko prenesem.
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.
Glej, danes si me napodil izpred obličja zemlje, in skrit bom pred tvojim obličjem, in na zemlji bom ubežnik ter potepuh; in zgodilo se bo, da me bo ubil vsak, kdor me najde.«
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.
Gospod mu je rekel: »Zatorej kdorkoli ubije Kajna, bo nanj nadeto sedemkratno maščevanje.« In Gospod je na Kajna namestil znamenje, da kdorkoli ga najde, ga ne bi ubil.
16 Then Kain went out from the presence of the Lord, and dwelt in the land of Nod towarde the Eastside of Eden.
Kajn je odšel izpred Gospodove prisotnosti in prebival v deželi Nod, vzhodno od Edena.
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.
Kajn je spoznal svojo ženo in ta je spočela ter rodila Henoha. Ta je zgradil mesto in ime mesta imenoval Henoh, po imenu svojega sina.
18 And to Henoch was borne Irad, and Irad begate Mehuiael, and Mehuiael begate Methushael, and Methushael begate Lamech.
Henohu se je rodil Irád, in Irád je zaplodil Mehujaéla, in Mehujaél je zaplodil Metušaéla, in Metušaél je zaplodil Lameha.
19 And Lamech tooke him two wiues: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah.
Lameh si je vzel dve ženi: ime prve je bilo Ada, ime druge pa Cila.
20 And Adah bare Iabal, who was the father of such as dwell in the tents, and of such as haue cattell.
Ada je rodila Jabála; ta je bil oče teh, ki prebivajo v šotorih in teh, ki imajo živino.
21 And his brothers name was Iubal, who was the father of all that play on the harpe and organes.
Ime njegovega brata je bilo Jubál; bil je oče vseh teh, ki prijemajo harfo in piščal.
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.
Cila pa je rodila tudi Tubál Kajina, učitelja vsakega rokodelca z bronom in železom, in Tubál Kajinova sestra je bila Naáma.
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.
Lameh je rekel svojima ženama, Adi in Cili: »Poslušajta moj glas, vidve, Lamehovi ženi, prisluhnita mojemu govoru, kajti umoril sem človeka, ki mi prizadeva rane in mladeniča, za mojo rano.
24 If Kain shalbe auenged seuen folde, truely Lamech, seuentie times seuen folde.
Če bo Kajn sedemkrat maščevan, resnično, Lameh [pa] sedeminsedemdesetkrat.«
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 je spet spoznal svojo ženo in rodila je sina in njegovo ime je imenovala Set. »Kajti Bog, « je rekla, »mi je določil drugega potomca namesto Abela, ki ga je ubil Kajn.«
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.
In Setu, tudi njemu se je rodil sin, in njegovo ime je imenoval Enóš. Potem so ljudje začeli klicati Gospodovo ime.
