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，夏娃就懷孕，生了該隱，便說：「耶和華使我得了一個男子。」
2 and she addeth to bear his brother, even Abel. And Abel is feeding a flock, and Cain hath been servant of the ground.
又生了該隱的兄弟亞伯。亞伯是牧羊的；該隱是種地的。
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，該隱拿地裏的出產為供物獻給耶和華；
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,
亞伯也將他羊群中頭生的和羊的脂油獻上。耶和華看中了亞伯和他的供物，
5 and unto Cain and unto his present He hath not looked; and it is very displeasing to Cain, and his countenance is fallen.
只是看不中該隱和他的供物。該隱就大大地發怒，變了臉色。
6 And Jehovah saith unto Cain, 'Why hast thou displeasure? and why hath thy countenance fallen?
耶和華對該隱說：「你為甚麼發怒呢？你為甚麼變了臉色呢？
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，豈不蒙悅納？你若行得不好，罪就伏在門前。它必戀慕你，你卻要制伏它。」
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.
該隱與他兄弟亞伯說話；二人正在田間。該隱起來打他兄弟亞伯，把他殺了。
9 And Jehovah saith unto Cain, 'Where [is] Abel thy brother?' and he saith, 'I have not known; my brother's keeper — I?'
耶和華對該隱說：「你兄弟亞伯在哪裏？」他說：「我不知道！我豈是看守我兄弟的嗎？」
10 And He saith, 'What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood is crying unto Me from the ground;
耶和華說：「你做了甚麼事呢？你兄弟的血有聲音從地裏向我哀告。
11 and now, cursed [art] thou from the ground, which hath opened her mouth to receive the blood of thy brother from thy hand;
地開了口，從你手裏接受你兄弟的血。現在你必從這地受咒詛。
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.'
你種地，地不再給你效力；你必流離飄蕩在地上。」
13 And Cain saith unto Jehovah, 'Greater is my punishment than to be borne;
該隱對耶和華說：「我的刑罰太重，過於我所能當的。
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.'
你如今趕逐我離開這地，以致不見你面；我必流離飄蕩在地上，凡遇見我的必殺我。」
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.
耶和華對他說：「凡殺該隱的，必遭報七倍。」耶和華就給該隱立一個記號，免得人遇見他就殺他。
16 And Cain goeth out from before Jehovah, and dwelleth in the land, moving about east of Eden;
於是該隱離開耶和華的面，去住在伊甸東邊挪得之地。
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.
該隱與妻子同房，他妻子就懷孕，生了以諾。該隱建造了一座城，就按着他兒子的名將那城叫做以諾。
18 And born to Enoch is Irad; and Irad hath begotten Mehujael; and Mehujael hath begotten Methusael; and Methusael hath begotten Lamech.
以諾生以拿；以拿生米戶雅利；米戶雅利生瑪土撒利；瑪土撒利生拉麥。
19 And Lamech taketh to himself two wives, the name of the one Adah, and the name of the second Zillah.
拉麥娶了兩個妻：一個名叫亞大，一個名叫洗拉。
20 And Adah beareth Jabal, he hath been father of those inhabiting tents and purchased possessions;
亞大生雅八；雅八就是住帳棚、牧養牲畜之人的祖師。
21 and the name of his brother [is] Jubal, he hath been father of every one handling harp and organ.
雅八的兄弟名叫猶八；他是一切彈琴吹簫之人的祖師。
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‧該隱；他是打造各樣銅鐵利器的。土八‧該隱的妹子是拿瑪。
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;
拉麥對他兩個妻子說： 亞大、洗拉，聽我的聲音； 拉麥的妻子，細聽我的話語： 壯年人傷我，我把他殺了； 少年人損我，我把他害了 。
24 For sevenfold is required for Cain, And for Lamech seventy and sevenfold.'
若殺該隱，遭報七倍， 殺拉麥，必遭報七十七倍。
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.
亞當又與妻子同房，她就生了一個兒子，起名叫塞特，意思說：「上帝另給我立了一個兒子代替亞伯，因為該隱殺了他。」
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.
塞特也生了一個兒子，起名叫以挪士。那時候，人才求告耶和華的名。
