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”;
有一日，那人和他妻子夏娃同房，夏娃就懷孕，生了該隱，便說：「耶和華使我得了一個男子。」
2 and she adds to bear his brother, even Abel. And Abel is feeding a flock, and Cain has been servant of the ground.
又生了該隱的兄弟亞伯。亞伯是牧羊的；該隱是種地的。
3 And it comes to pass at the end of days that Cain brings from the fruit of the ground a present to YHWH;
有一日，該隱拿地裏的出產為供物獻給耶和華；
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,
亞伯也將他羊群中頭生的和羊的脂油獻上。耶和華看中了亞伯和他的供物，
5 and to Cain and to his present He has not looked; and it is very displeasing to Cain, and his countenance is fallen.
只是看不中該隱和他的供物。該隱就大大地發怒，變了臉色。
6 And YHWH says to Cain, “Why do you have displeasure? And why has your countenance fallen?
耶和華對該隱說：「你為甚麼發怒呢？你為甚麼變了臉色呢？
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]].”
你若行得好，豈不蒙悅納？你若行得不好，罪就伏在門前。它必戀慕你，你卻要制伏它。」
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.
該隱與他兄弟亞伯說話；二人正在田間。該隱起來打他兄弟亞伯，把他殺了。
9 And YHWH says to Cain, “Where [is] your brother Abel?” And he says, “I have not known; am I my brother’s keeper?”
耶和華對該隱說：「你兄弟亞伯在哪裏？」他說：「我不知道！我豈是看守我兄弟的嗎？」
10 And He says, “What have you done? The voice of your brother’s blood is crying to Me from the ground;
耶和華說：「你做了甚麼事呢？你兄弟的血有聲音從地裏向我哀告。
11 and now, cursed [are] you from the ground, which has opened her mouth to receive the blood of your brother from your hand;
地開了口，從你手裏接受你兄弟的血。現在你必從這地受咒詛。
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.”
你種地，地不再給你效力；你必流離飄蕩在地上。」
13 And Cain says to YHWH, “My punishment is too great than to bear;
該隱對耶和華說：「我的刑罰太重，過於我所能當的。
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.”
你如今趕逐我離開這地，以致不見你面；我必流離飄蕩在地上，凡遇見我的必殺我。」
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.
耶和華對他說：「凡殺該隱的，必遭報七倍。」耶和華就給該隱立一個記號，免得人遇見他就殺他。
16 And Cain goes out from before YHWH, and dwells in the land, moving about east of Eden;
於是該隱離開耶和華的面，去住在伊甸東邊挪得之地。
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.
該隱與妻子同房，他妻子就懷孕，生了以諾。該隱建造了一座城，就按着他兒子的名將那城叫做以諾。
18 And born to Enoch is Irad; and Irad has begotten Mehujael; and Mehujael has begotten Methusael; and Methusael has begotten Lamech.
以諾生以拿；以拿生米戶雅利；米戶雅利生瑪土撒利；瑪土撒利生拉麥。
19 And Lamech takes to himself two wives, the name of the first Adah, and the name of the second Zillah.
拉麥娶了兩個妻：一個名叫亞大，一個名叫洗拉。
20 And Adah bears Jabal, he has been father of those inhabiting tents and [having] purchased livestock;
亞大生雅八；雅八就是住帳棚、牧養牲畜之人的祖師。
21 and the name of his brother [is] Jubal, he has been father of everyone handling harp and pipe.
雅八的兄弟名叫猶八；他是一切彈琴吹簫之人的祖師。
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.
洗拉又生了土八‧該隱；他是打造各樣銅鐵利器的。土八‧該隱的妹子是拿瑪。
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;
拉麥對他兩個妻子說： 亞大、洗拉，聽我的聲音； 拉麥的妻子，細聽我的話語： 壯年人傷我，我把他殺了； 少年人損我，我把他害了 。
24 For sevenfold is required for Cain, And for Lamech seventy-sevenfold.”
若殺該隱，遭報七倍， 殺拉麥，必遭報七十七倍。
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.
亞當又與妻子同房，她就生了一個兒子，起名叫塞特，意思說：「上帝另給我立了一個兒子代替亞伯，因為該隱殺了他。」
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.
塞特也生了一個兒子，起名叫以挪士。那時候，人才求告耶和華的名。
