< Genesis 4 >
1 And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from Yhwh.
Un Ādams atzina Ievu, savu sievu, un tā tapa grūta un dzemdēja Kainu un sacīja: es esmu dabūjusi vīru ar To Kungu.
2 And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.
Un tā vēl dzemdēja viņa brāli, Ābelu; un Ābels palika par avju ganu, bet Kains palika par zemes kopēju.
3 And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto Yhwh.
Un notikās pēc kāda laika, ka Kains Tam Kungam upuri nesa no zemes augļiem.
4 And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And Yhwh had respect unto Abel and to his offering:
Un Ābels arīdzan nesa no savu avju pirmdzimtiem un no viņu taukiem. Un Tas Kungs uzlūkoja Ābelu un viņa upuri.
5 But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.
Bet Kainu un viņa upuri Viņš neuzlūkoja. Tad iedegās Kaina bardzība, un viņa vaigs raudzījās nikni.
6 And Yhwh said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen?
Un Tas Kungs sacīja uz Kainu: kam tu esi apskaities, un kādēļ tavs vaigs raugās nikni?
7 If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.
Vai nav tā: ja tu darīsi pareizi, tad vari savu vaigu pacelt; bet ja tu darīsi nepareizi, tad grēks guļ priekš durvīm un tīko pēc tevis, - bet tu, valdi pār viņu. Un Kains runāja ar savu brāli Ābelu.
8 And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.
Un notikās, kad tie bija laukā, tad Kains cēlās pret Ābelu, savu brāli, un to nokāva.
9 And Yhwh said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother’s keeper?
Un Tas Kungs sacīja uz Kainu: kur ir Ābels, tavs brālis? Un tas sacīja: es nezinu. Vai tad es sava brāļa sargs?
10 And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother’s blood crieth unto me from the ground.
Un Viņš sacīja: ko tu esi darījis? Tava brāļa asiņu balss brēc uz Mani no zemes.
11 And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother’s blood from thy hand;
Un nu esi nolādēts, nost no zemes, kas savu muti atpletusi, tava brāļa asinis saņemt no tavām rokām.
12 When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth.
Kad tu zemi strādāsi, tad tā vairs tev nedos savu spēku; tekulis un bēglis tu būsi virs zemes.
13 And Cain said unto Yhwh, My punishment is greater than I can bear.
Un Kains sacīja uz To Kungu: mans noziegums ir lielāks, nekā to varētu panest.
14 Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth; and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass, that every one that findeth me shall slay me.
Redzi, Tu mani šodien izdzen no zemes, un man būs paslēpties no Tava vaiga un es būšu tekulis un bēglis virs zemes, un notiks, ka ikviens, kas mani atrod, tas mani nokaus.
15 And Yhwh said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And Yhwh set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him.
Un Tas Kungs uz to sacīja: tādēļ, kas Kainu nokauj, tas taps septiņkārt atriebts. Un Tas Kungs pielika Kainam zīmi, lai to nenokautu, kas to atrastu.
16 And Cain went out from the presence of Yhwh, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.
Un Kains aizgāja no Tā Kunga vaiga un mita Nodzemē, Ēdenei pret rītiem.
17 And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch.
Un Kains atzina savu sievu, un tā tapa grūta un dzemdēja Ēnohu; un viņš uztaisīja pilsētu un nosauca tās pilsētas vārdu pēc sava dēla vārda Ēnohu.
18 And unto Enoch was born Irad: and Irad begat Mehujael: and Mehujael begat Methusael: and Methusael begat Lamech.
Un Ēnoham dzima Īrads, un Īrads dzemdināja Meūjaēlu, un Meūjaēls dzemdināja Metusaēlu, un Metusaēls dzemdināja Lāmehu.
19 And Lamech took unto him two wives: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah.
Un Lāmehs apņēma divas sievas; pirmai bija vārds Ada, un otrai bija vārds Cilla.
20 And Adah bare Jabal: he was the father of such as dwell in tents, and of such as have cattle.
Un Ada dzemdēja Jabalu; tas ir tēvs bijis tiem, kas teltīs dzīvoja un lopus audzināja.
21 And his brother’s name was Jubal: he was the father of all such as handle the harp and organ.
Un viņa brāļa vārds bija Jubals; tas ir tēvs bijis visiem koklētājiem un stabulniekiem.
22 And Zillah, she also bare Tubal–cain, an instructer of every artificer in brass and iron: and the sister of Tubal–cain was Naamah.
Un Cilla arīdzan dzemdēja Tubalkaīnu, kas bija visādu vara un dzelzs rīku kalējs. Un Tubalkaīna māsa bija Naēma.
23 And Lamech said unto his wives, Adah and Zillah, Hear my voice; ye wives of Lamech, hearken unto my speech: for I have slain a man to my wounding, and a young man to my hurt.
Un Lāmehs sacīja uz savām sievām: Ada un Cilla, klausiet manu balsi, jūs Lāmeha sievas, ņemiet vērā manus vārdus! Jo es vīru nokauju par savu vāti un jaunekli par savu brūci.
24 If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, truly Lamech seventy and sevenfold.
Jo Kains taps septiņkārt atriebts, bet Lāmehs septiņdesmit septiņkārt.
25 And Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son, and called his name Seth: For God, said she, hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew.
Un Ādams atzina atkal savu sievu, un tā dzemdēja dēlu un nosauca viņa vārdu Setu; jo (tā sacīja: ) Dievs man ir licis citu dzimumu Ābela vietā, jo Kains to ir nokāvis.
26 And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enos: then began men to call upon the name of Yhwh.
Un Setam arī dzima dēls, un tas nosauca viņa vārdu Enosu. Tai laikā iesāka piesaukt Tā Kunga vārdu.
