< Genesis 4 >

1 Now Adam had marital relations with his wife Eve, and she conceived, and gave birth to Cain, and said, "I have gotten a man from God."
Iza toga Adam pozna Jevu ženu svoju, a ona zatrudnje i rodi Kajina, i reèe: dobih èovjeka od Gospoda.
2 Again she gave birth, to Cain's brother Abel. Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.
I rodi opet brata njegova Avelja. I Avelj posta pastir a Kajin ratar.
3 As time passed, it happened that Cain brought an offering to God from the fruit of the ground.
A poslije nekoga vremena dogodi se, te Kajin prinese Gospodu prinos od roda zemaljskoga;
4 And Abel also brought some of the firstborn of his flock and of its fat. And God looked favorably on Abel and his offering,
A i Avelj prinese od prvina stada svojega i od njihove pretiline. I Gospod pogleda na Avelja i na njegov prinos,
5 but he did not look favorably on Cain and his offering. Cain was very angry, and the expression on his face fell.
A na Kajina i na njegov prinos ne pogleda. Zato se Kajin rasrdi veoma, i lice mu se promijeni.
6 God said to Cain, "Why are you angry? Why has the expression of your face fallen?
Tada reèe Gospod Kajinu: što se srdiš? što li ti se lice promijeni?
7 If you do well, will it not be lifted up? If you do not do well, sin lies in wait at the door. It desires to control you, but you must rule over it."
Neæeš li biti mio, kad dobro èiniš? a kad ne èiniš dobro, grijeh je na vratima. A volja je njegova pod tvojom vlašæu, i ti si mu stariji.
8 Cain said to Abel, his brother, "Let's go into the field." It happened when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel, his brother, and killed him.
Poslije govoraše Kajin s Aveljem bratom svojim. Ali kad bijahu u polju, skoèi Kajin na Avelja brata svojega, i ubi ga.
9 Then God said to Cain, "Where is Abel, your brother?" He said, "I do not know. Am I my brother's keeper?"
Tada reèe Gospod Kajinu: gdje ti je brat Avelj? A on odgovori: ne znam; zar sam ja èuvar brata svojega?
10 And God said, "What have you done? The voice of your brother's blood cries out to me from the ground.
A Bog reèe: šta uèini! glas krvi brata tvojega vièe sa zemlje k meni.
11 Now you are cursed because of the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother's blood from your hand.
I sada, da si proklet na zemlji, koja je otvorila usta svoja da primi krv brata tvojega iz ruke tvoje.
12 From now on, when you till the ground, it won't yield its strength to you. You shall be a fugitive and a wanderer in the earth."
Kad zemlju uzradiš, neæe ti više davati blaga svojega. Biæeš potukaè i bjegunac na zemlji.
13 Cain said to God, "My punishment is greater than I can bear.
A Kajin reèe Gospodu: krivica je moja velika da mi se ne može oprostiti.
14 Look, you have driven me out this day from the surface of the ground. I will be hidden from your face, and I will be a fugitive and a wanderer in the earth. It will happen that whoever finds me will kill me."
Evo me tjeraš danas iz ove zemlje da se krijem ispred tebe, i da se skitam i potucam po zemlji, pa æe me ubiti ko me udesi.
15 And God said to him, "Not so. Whoever kills Cain vengeance will be taken on him sevenfold." And God appointed a sign for Cain, lest any finding him should strike him.
A Gospod mu reèe: zato ko ubije Kajina, sedam æe se puta to pokajati. I naèini Gospod znak na Kajinu da ga ne ubije ko ga udesi.
16 So Cain went out from the presence of God and lived in the land of Nod, east of Eden.
I otide Kajin ispred Gospoda, i naseli se u zemlji Naidskoj na istoku prema Edemu.
17 Cain had marital relations with his wife, and she conceived and gave birth to Enoch. He built a city and called the name of the city after the name of his son, Enoch.
I pozna Kajin ženu svoju, a ona zatrudnje i rodi Enoha. I sazida grad i prozva ga po imenu sina svojega Enoh.
18 To Enoch was born Irad, and Irad became the father of Mehayiel, and Mehayiel became the father of Methushael, and Methushael became the father of Lamech.
A Enohu rodi se Gaidad; a Gaidad rodi Maleleila; a Maleleilo rodi Matusala; a Matusal rodi Lameha.
19 Lamech took two wives: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah.
I uze Lameh dvije žene: jednoj bješe ime Ada a drugoj Sela.
20 Adah gave birth to Jabal, who was the father of those who dwell in tents and have livestock.
I Ada rodi Jovila; od njega se narodiše koji žive pod šatorima i stoku pasu.
21 His brother's name was Jubal, who was the father of all who play the harp and flute.
A bratu njegovu bješe ime Juval; od njega se narodiše gudaèi i sviraèi.
22 Zillah also gave birth to Tubal Cain, who heated metal and shaped instruments of bronze and iron. Tubal Cain's sister was Naamah.
A i Sela rodi Tovela, koji bješe vješt kovati svašta od mjedi i od gvožða; a sestra Tovelu bješe Noema.
23 Lamech said to his wives, "Adah and Zillah, hear my voice. You wives of Lamech, listen to my speech, for I have slain a man for wounding me, a young man for bruising me.
I reèe Lameh svojima ženama, Adi i Seli: èujte glas moj, žene Lamehove, poslušajte rijeèi moje: ubiæu èovjeka za ranu svoju i mladiæa za masnicu svoju.
24 If Cain will be avenged seven times, truly Lamech seventy-seven times."
Kad æe se Kajin osvetiti sedam puta, Lameh æe sedamdeset i sedam puta.
25 Adam had marital relations with his wife again, and she gave birth to a son, and named him Seth, saying, "For God has appointed me another child instead of Abel, for Cain killed him."
A Adam opet pozna ženu svoju, i ona rodi sina, i nadje mu ime Sit, jer mi, reèe, Bog dade drugoga sina za Avelja, kojega ubi Kajin.
26 And a son was also born to Seth, and he named him Enosh. This one began to call on the name of God.
I Situ se rodi sin, kojemu nadjede ime Enos. Tada se poèe prizivati ime Gospodnje.
