< Genesis 4 >

1 And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bore Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD.
وَعَاشَرَ آدَمُ حَوَّاءَ زَوْجَتَهُ فَحَبِلَتْ، وَوَلَدَتْ ابْناً أَسْمَتْهُ قَايِينَ إِذْ قَالَتْ: «اقْتَنَيْتُ رَجُلاً مِنْ عِنْدِ الرَّبِّ».١
2 And she again bore his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.
ثُمَّ عَادَتْ فَوَلَدَتْ أَخَاهُ هَابِيلَ، وَكَانَ هَابِيلُ رَاعِياً لِلْغَنَمِ. أَمَّا قَايِينُ فَقَدْ عَمِلَ فِي فِلَاحَةِ الأَرْضِ.٢
3 And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering to the LORD.
وَحَدَثَ بَعْدَ مُرُورِ أَيَّامٍ أَنْ قَدَّمَ قَايِينُ مِنْ ثِمَارِ الأَرْضِ قُرْبَاناً لِلرَّبِّ،٣
4 And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock, and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect to Abel, and to his offering:
وَقَدَّمَ هَابِيلُ أَيْضاً مِنْ خَيْرَةِ أَبْكَارِ غَنَمِهِ وَأَسْمَنِهَا. فَتَقَبَّلَ الرَّبُّ قُرْبَانَ هَابِيلَ وَرَضِيَ عَنْهُ.٤
5 But to Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.
لَكِنَّهُ لَمْ يَتَقَبَّلْ قُرْبَانَ قَايِينَ وَلَمْ يَرْضَ عَنْهُ. فَاغْتَاظَ قَايِينُ جِدّاً وَتَجَهَّمَ وَجْهُهُ كَمَداً.٥
6 And the LORD said to Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen?
فَسَأَلَ الرَّبُّ قَايِينَ: «لِمَاذَا اغْتَظْتَ؟ لِمَاذَا تَجَهَّمَ وَجْهُكَ؟٦
7 If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And to thee [shall be] his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.
لَوْ أَحْسَنْتَ فِي تَصَرُّفِكَ أَلَا يُشْرِقُ وَجْهُكَ فَرَحاً؟ وَإِنْ لَمْ تُحْسِنِ التَّصَرُّفَ، فَعِنْدَ الْبَابِ خَطِيئَةٌ تَنْتَظِرُكَ، تَتَشَوَّقُ أَنْ تَتَسَلَّطَ عَلَيْكَ، لَكِنْ يَجِبُ أَنْ تَتَحَكَّمَ فِيهَا».٧
8 And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.
وَعَادَ قَايِينُ يَتَظَاهَرُ بِالْوُدِّ لأَخِيهِ هَابِيلَ. وَحَدَثَ إِذْ كَانَا مَعاً فِي الْحَقْلِ أَنَّ قَايِينَ هَجَمَ عَلَى أَخِيهِ هَابِيلَ وَقَتَلَهُ.٨
9 And the LORD said to Cain, Where [is] Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: [Am] I my brother's keeper?
وَسَأَلَ الرَّبُّ قَايِينَ: «أَيْنَ أَخُوكَ هَابِيلُ؟» فَأَجَابَ: «لَا أَعْرِفُ. هَلْ أَنَا حَارِسٌ لأَخِي؟»٩
10 And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth to me from the ground.
فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لَهُ: «مَاذَا فَعَلْتَ؟ إِنَّ صَوْتَ دَمِ أَخِيكَ يَصْرُخُ إِلَيَّ مِنَ الأَرْضِ.١٠
11 And now [art] thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand;
فَمُنْذُ الآنَ، تَحِلُّ عَلَيْكَ لَعْنَةُ الأَرْضِ الَّتِي فَتَحَتْ فَاهَا وَابْتَلَعَتْ دَمَ أَخِيكَ الَّذِي سَفَكَتْهُ يَدُكَ.١١
12 When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield to thee its strength: A fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth.
عِنْدَمَا تَفْلَحُهَا لَنْ تُعْطِيَكَ خَيْرَهَا، وَتَكُونُ شَرِيداً وَطَرِيداً فِي الأَرْضِ».١٢
13 And Cain said to the LORD, My punishment [is] greater than I can bear.
فَقَالَ قَايِينُ لِلرَّبِّ: «عُقُوبَتِي أَعْظَمُ مِنْ أَنْ تُحْتَمَلَ.١٣
14 Behold, thou hast driven me this day from the face of the earth; and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it will come to pass, [that] every one that findeth me will slay me.
هَا أَنْتَ الْيَوْمَ قَدْ طَرَدْتَنِي عَنْ وَجْهِ الأَرْضِ، وَمِنْ أَمَامِ حَضْرَتِكَ أَخْتَفِي، وَأَكُونُ شَرِيداً طَرِيداً فِي الأَرْضِ، وَيَقْتُلُنِي كُلُّ مَنْ يَجِدُنِي».١٤
15 And the LORD said to him, Therefore whoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him seven-fold. And the lord set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him.
فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لَهُ: «سَأُعَاقِبُ كُلَّ مَنْ يَقْتُلُكَ بِسَبْعَةِ أَضْعَافِ الْعُقُوبَةِ الَّتِي عَاقَبْتُكَ بِها». وَوَسَمَ الرَّبُّ قَايِينَ بِعَلَامَةٍ تَحْظُرُ عَلَى مَنْ يَلْقَاهُ اغْتِيَالَهُ.١٥
16 And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.
وَهَكَذَا خَرَجَ قَايِينُ مِنْ حَضْرَةِ الرَّبِّ وَسَكَنَ فِي أَرْضِ نُودٍ شَرْقِيَّ عَدْنٍ.١٦
17 And Cain knew his wife, and she conceived, and bore Enoch: and he built a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son Enoch.
وَعَاشَرَ قَايِينُ زَوْجَتَهُ فَحَبِلَتْ وَأَنْجَبَتِ ابْناً دَعَاهُ «حَنُوكَ». وَكَانَ قَايِينُ آنَئِذٍ يَبْنِي مَدِينَةً فَسَمَّاهَا «حَنُوكَ» عَلَى اسْمِ ابْنِهِ.١٧
18 And to Enoch was born Irad: and Irad begat Mehujael: and Mehujael begat Methusael: and Methusael begat Lamech.
ثُمَّ وَلَدَ حَنُوكُ عِيرَادَ، وَوَلَدَ عِيرَادُ مَحُويَائِيلَ، وَوَلَدَ مَحُويَائِيلُ مَتُوشَائِيلَ، وَوَلَدَ مَتُوشَائِيلُ لَامَكَ.١٨
19 And Lamech took to him two wives: the name of the one [was] Adah, and the name of the other Zillah.
وَتَزَوَّجَ لَامَكُ امْرَأَتَيْنِ: اسْمُ الْوَاحِدَةِ عَادَةُ، وَاسْمُ الأُخْرَى صِلَّةُ.١٩
20 And Adah bore Jabal: he was the father of such as dwell in tents, and [of such as have] cattle.
وَوَلَدَتْ عَادَةُ كُلًّا مِنْ «يَابَالَ» أَوَّلِ رُعَاةِ الْمَوَاشِي وَسَاكِنِي الْخِيَامِ.٢٠
21 And his brother's name [was] Jubal: he was the father of all such as handle the harp and organ.
وَأَخِيهِ يُوبَالَ أَوَّلِ الْعَازِفِينَ بِالْعُودِ وَالْمِزْمَارِ.٢١
22 And Zillah, she also bore Tubalcain, an instructor of every artificer in brass and iron: and the sister of Tubalcain [was] Naamah.
وَوَلَدَتْ صِلَّةُ «تُوبَالَ قَايِينَ» أَوَّلَ صَانِعِي آلَاتِ النُّحَاسِ وَالْحَدِيدِ. كَمَا وَلَدَتْ «نَعْمَةَ» أُخْتَ تُوبَالَ قَايِينَ.٢٢
23 And Lamech said to his wives, Adah and Zillah, Hear my voice, ye wives of Lamech, hearken to my speech: for I have slain a man to my wounding, and a young man to my hurt.
وَقَالَ لَامَكُ لِزَوْجَتَيْهِ: «يَا عَادَةُ وَصِلَّةُ، اسْمَعَا قَوْلِي، يَا زَوْجَتَيْ لَامَكَ أَصْغِيَا لِكَلَامِي: إِنِّي قَتَلْتُ رَجُلاً جَرَحَنِي وَشَابّاً كَسَرَنِي.٢٣
24 If Cain shall be avenged seven-fold, truly Lamech seventy and seven-fold.
فَإِنْ كَانَ يُنْتَقَمُ لِقَايِينَ سَبْعَةَ أَضْعَافٍ، فَإِنَّهُ يُنْتَقَمُ لِلَامَكَ سَبْعَةً وَسَبْعِينَ ضِعْفاً».٢٤
25 And Adam knew his wife again, and she bore a son, and called his name Seth: For God, [said she], hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew.
وَعَاشَرَ آدَمُ زَوْجَتَهُ حَوَّاءَ مَرَّةً أُخْرَى فَأَنْجَبَتْ لَهُ ابْناً أَسْمَتْهُ «شِيثاً» إِذْ قَالَتْ: «قَدْ عَوَّضَنِي اللهُ نَسْلاً آخَرَ عِوَضاً عَنْ هَابِيلَ الَّذِي قَتَلَهُ قَايِينُ».٢٥
26 And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enos: then began men to call upon the name of the LORD.
وَوُلِدَ لِشِيثٍ أَيْضاً ابْنٌ سَمَّاهُ أَنُوشَ وَعَنْدَئِذٍ ابْتَدَأَ النَّاسُ يَدْعُونَ بِاسْمِ الرَّبِّ.٢٦
