Genesis 4
1 And the man knew Eve his wife, and she conceiveth and beareth Cain, and saith, 'I have gotten a man by Jehovah;'
有一日，那人和他妻子夏娃同房，夏娃就怀孕，生了该隐，便说：“耶和华使我得了一个男子。”
2 and she addeth to bear his brother, even Abel. And Abel is feeding a flock, and Cain hath been servant of the ground.
又生了该隐的兄弟亚伯。亚伯是牧羊的；该隐是种地的。
3 And it cometh to pass at the end of days that Cain bringeth from the fruit of the ground a present to Jehovah;
有一日，该隐拿地里的出产为供物献给耶和华；
4 and Abel, he hath brought, he also, from the female firstlings of his flock, even from their fat ones; and Jehovah looketh unto Abel and unto his present,
亚伯也将他羊群中头生的和羊的脂油献上。耶和华看中了亚伯和他的供物，
5 and unto Cain and unto his present He hath not looked; and it is very displeasing to Cain, and his countenance is fallen.
只是看不中该隐和他的供物。该隐就大大地发怒，变了脸色。
6 And Jehovah saith unto Cain, 'Why hast thou displeasure? and why hath thy countenance fallen?
耶和华对该隐说：“你为什么发怒呢？你为什么变了脸色呢？
7 Is there not, if thou dost well, acceptance? and if thou dost not well, at the opening a sin-offering is crouching, and unto thee its desire, and thou rulest over it.'
你若行得好，岂不蒙悦纳？你若行得不好，罪就伏在门前。它必恋慕你，你却要制伏它。”
8 And Cain saith unto Abel his brother, ['Let us go into the field;'] and it cometh to pass in their being in the field, that Cain riseth up against Abel his brother, and slayeth him.
该隐与他兄弟亚伯说话；二人正在田间。该隐起来打他兄弟亚伯，把他杀了。
9 And Jehovah saith unto Cain, 'Where [is] Abel thy brother?' and he saith, 'I have not known; my brother's keeper — I?'
耶和华对该隐说：“你兄弟亚伯在哪里？”他说：“我不知道！我岂是看守我兄弟的吗？”
10 And He saith, 'What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood is crying unto Me from the ground;
耶和华说：“你做了什么事呢？你兄弟的血有声音从地里向我哀告。
11 and now, cursed [art] thou from the ground, which hath opened her mouth to receive the blood of thy brother from thy hand;
地开了口，从你手里接受你兄弟的血。现在你必从这地受咒诅。
12 when thou tillest the ground, it doth not add to give its strength to thee — a wanderer, even a trembling one, thou art in the earth.'
你种地，地不再给你效力；你必流离飘荡在地上。”
13 And Cain saith unto Jehovah, 'Greater is my punishment than to be borne;
该隐对耶和华说：“我的刑罚太重，过于我所能当的。
14 lo, Thou hast driven me to-day from off the face of the ground, and from Thy face I am hid; and I have been a wanderer, even a trembling one, in the earth, and it hath been — every one finding me doth slay me.'
你如今赶逐我离开这地，以致不见你面；我必流离飘荡在地上，凡遇见我的必杀我。”
15 And Jehovah saith to him, 'Therefore — of any slayer of Cain sevenfold it is required;' and Jehovah setteth to Cain a token that none finding him doth slay him.
耶和华对他说：“凡杀该隐的，必遭报七倍。”耶和华就给该隐立一个记号，免得人遇见他就杀他。
16 And Cain goeth out from before Jehovah, and dwelleth in the land, moving about east of Eden;
于是该隐离开耶和华的面，去住在伊甸东边挪得之地。
17 and Cain knoweth his wife, and she conceiveth, and beareth Enoch; and he is building a city, and he calleth the name of the city, according to the name of his son — Enoch.
该隐与妻子同房，他妻子就怀孕，生了以诺。该隐建造了一座城，就按着他儿子的名将那城叫做以诺。
18 And born to Enoch is Irad; and Irad hath begotten Mehujael; and Mehujael hath begotten Methusael; and Methusael hath begotten Lamech.
以诺生以拿；以拿生米户雅利；米户雅利生玛土撒利；玛土撒利生拉麦。
19 And Lamech taketh to himself two wives, the name of the one Adah, and the name of the second Zillah.
拉麦娶了两个妻：一个名叫亚大，一个名叫洗拉。
20 And Adah beareth Jabal, he hath been father of those inhabiting tents and purchased possessions;
亚大生雅八；雅八就是住帐棚、牧养牲畜之人的祖师。
21 and the name of his brother [is] Jubal, he hath been father of every one handling harp and organ.
雅八的兄弟名叫犹八；他是一切弹琴吹箫之人的祖师。
22 And Zillah she also bare Tubal-Cain, an instructor of every artificer in brass and iron; and a sister of Tubal-Cain [is] Naamah.
洗拉又生了土八·该隐；他是打造各样铜铁利器的。土八·该隐的妹子是拿玛。
23 And Lamech saith to his wives: — 'Adah and Zillah, hear my voice; Wives of Lamech, give ear [to] my saying: For a man I have slain for my wound, Even a young man for my hurt;
拉麦对他两个妻子说： 亚大、洗拉，听我的声音； 拉麦的妻子，细听我的话语： 壮年人伤我，我把他杀了； 少年人损我，我把他害了。
24 For sevenfold is required for Cain, And for Lamech seventy and sevenfold.'
若杀该隐，遭报七倍， 杀拉麦，必遭报七十七倍。
25 And Adam again knoweth his wife, and she beareth a son, and calleth his name Seth, 'for God hath appointed for me another seed instead of Abel:' for Cain had slain him.
亚当又与妻子同房，她就生了一个儿子，起名叫塞特，意思说：“神另给我立了一个儿子代替亚伯，因为该隐杀了他。”
26 And to Seth, to him also a son hath been born, and he calleth his name Enos; then a beginning was made of preaching in the name of Jehovah.
塞特也生了一个儿子，起名叫以挪士。那时候，人才求告耶和华的名。
