Genesis 4
1 Adam (had sex/slept) with his wife Eve, and she became pregnant and gave birth to a son whom she named Cain, [which sounds like the word that means ‘produce’], because, she said, “By Yahweh’s help I have produced a son.” Some time later she gave birth to another son, and she named him Abel.
E Adão conheceu a sua mulher Eva, a qual concebeu e deu à luz a Caim, e disse: Obtive um homem pelo SENHOR.
2 [After those boys grew up], Abel (tended/took care of) sheep and goats, and Cain became a farmer.
E depois deu à luz a seu irmão Abel. E foi Abel pastor de ovelhas, e Caim foi lavrador da terra.
3 One day Cain harvested some of the crops he had grown and brought them to Yahweh as a gift for him,
E aconteceu, decorrendo o tempo, que Caim trouxe do fruto da terra uma oferta ao SENHOR.
4 and Abel took from his flock some of the first lambs that had been born [and killed them] and, as a gift, gave to Yahweh the fatty parts, [which were the best parts]. Yahweh was pleased with Abel and his offering,
E Abel trouxe também dos primogênitos de suas ovelhas, e de sua gordura. E olhou o SENHOR com agrado a Abel e à sua oferta;
5 but he was not pleased with Cain and his offering. So Cain became very angry, and his face looked dejected.
mas não olhou com bons olhos a Caim e à sua oferta. Caim irritou-se muito, e descaiu-lhe o semblante.
6 Yahweh said to Cain, “(You should not be angry!/Why are you angry?) [RHQ] (You should not scowl like that!/Why do you scowl like that?) [RHQ]
Então o SENHOR disse a Caim: Por que te irritaste, e por que o teu semblante descaiu?
7 If you had done what was right (OR, if you do what is right) [RHQ], I would accept your offering. But if you do not do what is right, [your desire to] sin [is ready to attack you like a wild animal that] [PRS] crouches outside the doorway, [ready to spring on its victim] [MET]. [Your desire to] sin wants to control you, but you must (control/not obey) it.”
Se bem fizeres, não serás aceito? E se não fizeres bem, o pecado está à porta; contra ti será o seu desejo, porém tu deves dominá-lo.
8 But one day, Cain said to his younger brother Abel, “Let’s go for a walk in the fields.” [So they went together]. And when they were in the countryside, suddenly Cain attacked Abel and killed him.
Depois Caim falou a seu irmão Abel; e aconteceu que, estando eles no campo, Caim se levantou contra seu irmão Abel, e o matou.
9 [Later, even though] Yahweh [knew what Cain had done], he said to Cain, “[Do you know] where Abel, your younger brother, is?” Cain replied, “No, I do not know. (My job is not to guard my younger brother!/Am I supposed to take care of my younger brother?)” [RHQ]
E o SENHOR disse a Caim: Onde está teu irmão Abel? E ele respondeu: Não sei; sou eu guarda do meu irmão?
10 Yahweh said, “You have done a terrible thing [RHQ]! So now [it is as though] your younger brother’s voice is crying to me from the ground, demanding that his death must be avenged.
E ele lhe disse: Que fizeste? A voz do sangue do teu irmão clama a mim desde a terra.
11 You have killed your younger brother, and the ground has soaked up his blood. So now I will expel you from this land and curse your efforts to produce crops.
Agora, pois, maldito sejas tu da terra que abriu sua boca para receber o sangue de teu irmão de tua mão:
12 You will till the ground to plant crops, but the ground will produce very few [HYP] crops. And you will continually wander around the earth, and not have any place to live permanently.”
Quando lavrares a terra, não te voltará a dar sua força: errante e fugitivo serás na terra.
13 Cain replied, “You are punishing me more then I can endure.
E disse Caim ao SENHOR: Grande é minha iniquidade para ser perdoada.
14 You are about to expel me from the ground [that I have been cultivating], and I will no longer be able to come (into your presence/and talk with you). Furthermore, I will be continually wandering around the earth with no place to live permanently, and anyone who sees me will kill me.”
Eis que me expulsas hoje da face da terra, e de tua presença me esconderei; e serei errante e fugitivo na terra; e sucederá que qualquer um que me achar, me matará.
15 But Yahweh said to him, “No, that will not happen. I will put a mark on you to warn anyone who sees you that [I will punish him severely if] he kills you. I will punish that person seven times as severely as I am punishing you.” Then Yahweh put a mark on Cain’s forehead.
E respondeu-lhe o SENHOR: Certo que qualquer um que matar a Caim, sete vezes será castigado. Então o SENHOR pôs sinal em Caim, para que não o ferisse qualquer um que o achasse.
16 So Cain left Yahweh and went to live in the land called Nod, [which means ‘wandering’], which was east of Eden.
E saiu Caim de diante do SENHOR, e habitou na terra de Node, ao oriente de Éden.
17 Some time later, Cain (had sex/slept) with his wife, and she [became pregnant and] gave birth to a son, whom she named Enoch. Then Cain started to build a city, and he named the city ‘Enoch’, the same name that his son had.
E conheceu Caim a sua mulher, a qual concebeu e deu à luz a Enoque: e edificou uma cidade, e chamou o nome da cidade do nome de seu filho, Enoque.
18 Enoch [grew up and married and] became the father of a son whom he named Irad. When Irad [grew up he] became the father of a son whom he named Mehujael. Mehujael [grew up and] became the father of a son whom he named Methuselah. Methuselah [grew up and] became the father of Lamech.
E a Enoque nasceu Irade, e Irade gerou a Meujael, e Meujael gerou a Metusael, e Metusael gerou a Lameque.
19 When Lamech [grew up he] married two women. The name of one was Adah and the other was Zillah.
E tomou para si Lameque duas mulheres; o nome de uma foi Ada, e o nome da outra Zilá.
20 Adah gave birth to [a son she named] Jabal.
E Ada deu à luz a Jabal, o qual foi pai dos que habitam em tendas, e criam gados.
21 Later, Jabal was the first person who lived in tents because he traveled from place to place to take care of livestock. His younger brother’s name was Jubal. He was the first person who made/played a (lyre/stringed instrument) and a flute.
E o nome de seu irmão foi Jubal, o qual foi pai de todos os que manejam harpa e flauta.
22 [Lamech’s other wife] Zillah gave birth to a son whom she named Tubal-Cain. Later Tubal-Cain became a (blacksmith/one who made tools from bronze and iron). Tubal-Cain had a younger sister whose name was Naamah.
E Zilá também deu à luz a Tubalcaim, feitor de toda obra de bronze e de ferro: e a irmã de Tubalcaim foi Naamá.
23 One day Lamech said to his two wives, “Adah and Zillah, listen carefully to what I am saying. A young man struck me and wounded me, so I killed him.
E disse Lameque a suas mulheres: Ada e Zilá, ouvi minha voz; Mulheres de Lameque, escutai meu dito: Que matei um homem por ter me ferido, E um rapaz por ter me golpeado:
24 Yahweh said long ago that he would avenge and punish anyone who killed Cain seven times as much as he punished Cain [for killing his younger brother]. So if anyone [tries to] kill me, I will punish him 77 times as much [as Yahweh punished Cain].”
Se sete vezes será vingado Caim, Lameque em verdade setenta vezes sete o será.
25 Adam continued to (have sex/sleep) with [EUP] his wife, and she [became pregnant and] gave birth to another son, whom she named Seth, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘given’], because, she said, “God has given me another child to take the place of Abel, since Cain killed him.”
E conheceu de novo Adão à sua mulher, a qual deu à luz um filho, e chamou seu nome Sete: Porque Deus (disse ela) me substituiu outra descendência em lugar de Abel, a quem matou Caim.
26 When Seth grew up, he became the father of a son whom he named Enosh. About that time people began to worship Yahweh [again].
E a Sete também lhe nasceu um filho, e chamou seu nome Enos. Então os homens começaram a invocar o nome do SENHOR.
