Genesis 4
1 And the man knew his wife Eve, and she conceives and bears Cain, and says, “I have acquired a man by YHWH”;
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 she adds to bear his brother, even Abel. And Abel is feeding a flock, and Cain has been servant 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 it comes to pass at the end of days that Cain brings from the fruit of the ground a present to YHWH;
有一天，加音把田地的出產作品獻給天主；
4 and Abel, he has brought, he also, from the female firstlings of his flock, and from their fat ones; and YHWH looks to Abel and to his present,
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 and to Cain and to his present He has not looked; and it is very displeasing to Cain, and his countenance is fallen.
卻沒有惠顧加音和他的祭品；因此加音大怒，垂頭喪氣。
6 And YHWH says to Cain, “Why do you have displeasure? And why has your countenance fallen?
上主對加音說：「你為什麼發怒﹖為什麼垂頭喪氣﹖
7 Is there not, if you do well, acceptance? And if you do not do well, sin [[or a sin-offering]] is lying at the opening, and its [[or His]] desire [is] for you, and you rule over it [[or by 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 And Cain says to his brother Abel, [[“Let us go into the field”; ]] and it comes to pass in their being in the field, that Cain rises up against his brother Abel, and slays 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 And YHWH says to Cain, “Where [is] your brother Abel?” And he says, “I have not known; am I my brother’s 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 And He says, “What have you done? The voice of your brother’s blood is crying to Me from the ground;
上主說：「你作什麼事﹖聽! 你弟弟的血由地上向我喊冤。
11 and now, cursed [are] you from the ground, which has opened her mouth to receive the blood of your brother from your 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 you till the ground, it will not add to give its strength to you—a wanderer, even a trembling one, you are 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 And Cain says to YHWH, “My punishment is too great than to bear;
加音對上主說：「我的罪罰太重，無法承擔。
14 behold, You have driven me today from off the face of the ground, and from Your face I am hid; and I have been a wanderer, even a trembling one, in the earth, and it has been—everyone finding me will 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 And YHWH says to him, “Therefore, of any slayer of Cain it is required sevenfold”; and YHWH sets to Cain a token that none finding him will slay 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 And Cain goes out from before YHWH, and dwells in the land, moving about east of Eden;
加音就離開上主的面，住在伊甸東方的諾得地方。
17 and Cain knows his wife, and she conceives, and bears Enoch; and he is building a city, and he calls the name of the city, according to the name of his son—Enoch.
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 born to Enoch is Irad; and Irad has begotten Mehujael; and Mehujael has begotten Methusael; and Methusael has begotten 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 takes to himself two wives, the name of the first Adah, and the name of the second 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 bears Jabal, he has been father of those inhabiting tents and [having] purchased livestock;
阿達生了雅巴耳，他是住在帳幕內畜牧者的始組。
21 and the name of his brother [is] Jubal, he has been father of everyone handling harp and pipe.
他的弟弟名叫猶巴耳，他是所有彈琴吹簫者的始祖。
22 And Zillah, she also bears Tubal-Cain, an instructor of every craftsman in bronze and iron; and a sister of Tubal-Cain [is] 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 And Lamech says to his wives: “Adah and Zillah, hear my voice; Wives of Lamech, give ear [to] my saying: For I have slain a man for my wound, Even a young man for my 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 For sevenfold is required for Cain, And for Lamech seventy-sevenfold.”
殺加音的受罰是七倍，殺拉默客的是七十七倍。」
25 And Adam again knows his wife, and she bears a son, and calls his name Seth, “for God has appointed for me another seed instead of Abel”: for Cain had slain 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 Seth, to him also a son has been born, and he calls his name Enos; then a beginning was made of preaching in the Name of YHWH.
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。
