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."
| وَعَرَفَ آدَمُ حَوَّاءَ ٱمْرَأَتَهُ فَحَبِلَتْ وَوَلَدَتْ قَايِينَ. وَقَالَتِ: «ٱقْتَنَيْتُ رَجُلًا مِنْ عِنْدِ ٱلرَّبِّ». | ١ |
2 Again she gave birth, to Cain's brother Abel. Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.
| ثُمَّ عَادَتْ فَوَلَدَتْ أَخَاهُ هَابِيلَ. وَكَانَ هَابِيلُ رَاعِيًا لِلْغَنَمِ، وَكَانَ قَايِينُ عَامِلًا فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ. | ٢ |
3 As time passed, it happened that Cain brought an offering to God from the fruit of the ground.
| وَحَدَثَ مِنْ بَعْدِ أَيَّامٍ أَنَّ قَايِينَ قَدَّمَ مِنْ أَثْمَارِ ٱلْأَرْضِ قُرْبَانًا لِلرَّبِّ، | ٣ |
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,
| وَقَدَّمَ هَابِيلُ أَيْضًا مِنْ أَبْكَارِ غَنَمِهِ وَمِنْ سِمَانِهَا. فَنَظَرَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَى هَابِيلَ وَقُرْبَانِهِ، | ٤ |
5 but he did not look favorably on Cain and his offering. Cain was very angry, and the expression on his face fell.
| وَلَكِنْ إِلَى قَايِينَ وَقُرْبَانِهِ لَمْ يَنْظُرْ. فَٱغْتَاظَ قَايِينُ جِدًّا وَسَقَطَ وَجْهُهُ. | ٥ |
6 God said to Cain, "Why are you angry? Why has the expression of your face fallen?
| فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِقَايِينَ: «لِمَاذَا ٱغْتَظْتَ؟ وَلِمَاذَا سَقَطَ وَجْهُكَ؟ | ٦ |
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."
| إِنْ أَحْسَنْتَ أَفَلَا رَفْعٌ؟ وَإِنْ لَمْ تُحْسِنْ فَعِنْدَ ٱلْبَابِ خَطِيَّةٌ رَابِضَةٌ، وَإِلَيْكَ ٱشْتِيَاقُهَا وَأَنْتَ تَسُودُ عَلَيْهَا». | ٧ |
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.
| وَكَلَّمَ قَايِينُ هَابِيلَ أَخَاهُ. وَحَدَثَ إِذْ كَانَا فِي ٱلْحَقْلِ أَنَّ قَايِينَ قَامَ عَلَى هَابِيلَ أَخِيهِ وَقَتَلَهُ. | ٨ |
9 Then God said to Cain, "Where is Abel, your brother?" He said, "I do not know. Am I my brother's keeper?"
| فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِقَايِينَ: «أَيْنَ هَابِيلُ أَخُوكَ؟» فَقَالَ: «لَا أَعْلَمُ! أَحَارِسٌ أَنَا لِأَخِي؟» | ٩ |
10 And God said, "What have you done? The voice of your brother's blood cries out to me from the ground.
| فَقَالَ: «مَاذَا فَعَلْتَ؟ صَوْتُ دَمِ أَخِيكَ صَارِخٌ إِلَيَّ مِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ. | ١٠ |
11 Now you are cursed because of the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother's blood from your hand.
| فَٱلْآنَ مَلْعُونٌ أَنْتَ مِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي فَتَحَتْ فَاهَا لِتَقْبَلَ دَمَ أَخِيكَ مِنْ يَدِكَ. | ١١ |
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."
| مَتَى عَمِلْتَ ٱلْأَرْضَ لَا تَعُودُ تُعْطِيكَ قُوَّتَهَا. تَائِهًا وَهَارِبًا تَكُونُ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ». | ١٢ |
13 Cain said to God, "My punishment is greater than I can bear.
| فَقَالَ قَايِينُ لِلرَّبِّ: «ذَنْبِي أَعْظَمُ مِنْ أَنْ يُحْتَمَلَ. | ١٣ |
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."
| إِنَّكَ قَدْ طَرَدْتَنِي ٱلْيَوْمَ عَنْ وَجْهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَمِنْ وَجْهِكَ أَخْتَفِي وَأَكُونُ تَائِهًا وَهَارِبًا فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ، فَيَكُونُ كُلُّ مَنْ وَجَدَنِي يَقْتُلُنِي». | ١٤ |
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.
| فَقَالَ لَهُ ٱلرَّبُّ: «لِذَلِكَ كُلُّ مَنْ قَتَلَ قَايِينَ فَسَبْعَةَ أَضْعَافٍ يُنْتَقَمُ مِنْهُ». وَجَعَلَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِقَايِينَ عَلَامَةً لِكَيْ لَا يَقْتُلَهُ كُلُّ مَنْ وَجَدَهُ. | ١٥ |
16 So Cain went out from the presence of God and lived in the land of Nod, east of Eden.
| فَخَرَجَ قَايِينُ مِنْ لَدُنِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَسَكَنَ فِي أَرْضِ نُودٍ شَرْقِيَّ عَدْنٍ. | ١٦ |
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.
| وَعَرَفَ قَايِينُ ٱمْرَأَتَهُ فَحَبِلَتْ وَوَلَدَتْ حَنُوكَ. وَكَانَ يَبْنِي مَدِينَةً، فَدَعَا ٱسْمَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ كَٱسْمِ ٱبْنِهِ حَنُوكَ. | ١٧ |
18 To Enoch was born Irad, and Irad became the father of Mehaiel, and Mehaiel became the father of Methushael, and Methushael became the father of Lamech.
| وَوُلِدَ لِحَنُوكَ عِيرَادُ. وَعِيرَادُ وَلَدَ مَحُويَائِيلَ. وَمَحُويَائِيلُ وَلَدَ مَتُوشَائِيلَ. وَمَتُوشَائِيلُ وَلَدَ لَامَكَ. | ١٨ |
19 Lamech took two wives: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah.
| وَٱتَّخَذَ لَامَكُ لِنَفْسِهِ ٱمْرَأَتَيْنِ: ٱسْمُ ٱلْوَاحِدَةِ عَادَةُ، وَٱسْمُ ٱلْأُخْرَى صِلَّةُ. | ١٩ |
20 Adah gave birth to Jabal, who was the father of those who dwell in tents and have livestock.
| فَوَلَدَتْ عَادَةُ يَابَالَ ٱلَّذِي كَانَ أَبًا لِسَاكِنِي ٱلْخِيَامِ وَرُعَاةِ ٱلْمَوَاشِي. | ٢٠ |
21 His brother's name was Jubal, who was the father of all who play the harp and flute.
| وَٱسْمُ أَخِيهِ يُوبَالُ ٱلَّذِي كَانَ أَبًا لِكُلِّ ضَارِبٍ بِٱلْعُودِ وَٱلْمِزْمَارِ. | ٢١ |
22 Zillah also gave birth to Tubal Cain, who heated metal and shaped instruments of bronze and iron. Tubal Cain's sister was Naamah.
| وَصِلَّةُ أَيْضًا وَلَدَتْ تُوبَالَ قَايِينَ ٱلضَّارِبَ كُلَّ آلَةٍ مِنْ نُحَاسٍ وَحَدِيدٍ. وَأُخْتُ تُوبَالَ قَايِينَ نَعْمَةُ. | ٢٢ |
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.
| وَقَالَ لَامَكُ لِٱمْرَأَتَيْهِ عَادَةَ وَصِلَّةَ: «ٱسْمَعَا قَوْلِي يَا ٱمْرَأَتَيْ لَامَكَ، وَأَصْغِيَا لِكَلَامِي. فَإِنِّي قَتَلْتُ رَجُلًا لِجُرْحِي، وَفَتىً لِشَدْخِي. | ٢٣ |
24 If Cain will be avenged seven times, truly Lamech seventy-seven times."
| إِنَّهُ يُنْتَقَمُ لِقَايِينَ سَبْعَةَ أَضْعَافٍ، وَأَمَّا لِلَامَكَ فَسَبْعَةً وَسَبْعِينَ». | ٢٤ |
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."
| وَعَرَفَ آدَمُ ٱمْرَأَتَهُ أَيْضًا، فَوَلَدَتِ ٱبْنًا وَدَعَتِ ٱسْمَهُ شِيثًا، قَائِلَةً: «لِأَنَّ ٱللهَ قَدْ وَضَعَ لِي نَسْلًا آخَرَ عِوَضًا عَنْ هَابِيلَ». لِأَنَّ قَايِينَ كَانَ قَدْ قَتَلَهُ. | ٢٥ |
26 And a son was also born to Seth, and he named him Enosh. This one began to call on the name of God.
| وَلِشِيثَ أَيْضًا وُلِدَ ٱبْنٌ فَدَعَا ٱسْمَهُ أَنُوشَ. حِينَئِذٍ ٱبْتُدِئَ أَنْ يُدْعَى بِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ. | ٢٦ |
