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;'
Čovjek pozna svoju ženu Evu, a ona zače i rodi Kajina, pa reče: “Muško sam čedo stekla pomoću Jahve!”
2 and she addeth to bear his brother, even Abel. And Abel is feeding a flock, and Cain hath been servant of the ground.
Poslije rodi Abela, brata Kajinova; Abel postane stočar, a Kajin zemljoradnik.
3 And it cometh to pass at the end of days that Cain bringeth from the fruit of the ground a present to Jehovah;
I jednoga dana Kajin prinese Jahvi žrtvu od zemaljskih plodova.
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,
A prinese i Abel od prvine svoje stoke, sve po izbor pretilinu. Jahve milostivo pogleda na Abela i njegovu žrtvu,
5 and unto Cain and unto his present He hath not looked; and it is very displeasing to Cain, and his countenance is fallen.
a na Kajina i žrtvu njegovu ni pogleda ne svrati. Stoga se Kajin veoma razljuti i lice mu se namrgodi.
6 And Jehovah saith unto Cain, 'Why hast thou displeasure? and why hath thy countenance fallen?
I Jahve reče Kajinu: “Zašto si ljut? Zašto ti je lice namrgođeno?
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.'
Jer ako pravo radiš, vedrinom odsijevaš. A ne radiš li pravo, grijeh ti je kao zvijer na pragu što na te vreba; još mu se možeš oduprijeti.”
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.
Kajin pak reče svome bratu Abelu: “Hajdemo van!” I našavši se na polju, Kajin skoči na brata Abela te ga ubi.
9 And Jehovah saith unto Cain, 'Where [is] Abel thy brother?' and he saith, 'I have not known; my brother's keeper — I?'
Potom Jahve zapita Kajina: “Gdje ti je brat Abel?” “Ne znam”, odgovori. “Zar sam ja čuvar brata svoga?”
10 And He saith, 'What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood is crying unto Me from the ground;
Jahve nastavi: “Što si učinio? Slušaj! Krv brata tvoga iz zemlje k meni viče.
11 and now, cursed [art] thou from the ground, which hath opened her mouth to receive the blood of thy brother from thy hand;
Stoga budi proklet na zemlji koja je rastvorila usta da proguta s ruke tvoje krv brata tvoga!
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.'
Obrađivat ćeš zemlju, ali ti više neće davati svoga roda. Vječni ćeš skitalica na zemlji biti!”
13 And Cain saith unto Jehovah, 'Greater is my punishment than to be borne;
A Kajin reče Jahvi: “Kazna je moja odviše teška da se snosi.
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.'
Evo me tjeraš danas s plodnoga tla; moram se skrivati od tvoga lica i biti vječni lutalac na zemlji - tko me god nađe, može me ubiti.”
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.
A Jahve mu reče: “Ne! Nego tko ubije Kajina, sedmerostruka osveta na njemu će se izvršiti!” I Jahve stavi znak na Kajina, da ga tko, našavši ga, ne ubije.
16 And Cain goeth out from before Jehovah, and dwelleth in the land, moving about east of Eden;
Kajin ode ispred lica Jahvina u zemlju Nod, istočno od Edena, i ondje se nastani.
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.
Kajin pozna svoju ženu te ona zače i rodi Henoka. Podigao je grad i grad prozvao imenom svoga sina - Henok.
18 And born to Enoch is Irad; and Irad hath begotten Mehujael; and Mehujael hath begotten Methusael; and Methusael hath begotten Lamech.
Henoku se rodio Irad, a od Irada potekao Mehujael; od Mehujaela poteče Metušael, od Metušaela Lamek.
19 And Lamech taketh to himself two wives, the name of the one Adah, and the name of the second Zillah.
Lamek uzme dvije žene. Jedna se zvala Ada, a druga Sila.
20 And Adah beareth Jabal, he hath been father of those inhabiting tents and purchased possessions;
Ada rodi Jabala, koji je postao praocem onih što pod šatorima žive sa stokom.
21 and the name of his brother [is] Jubal, he hath been father of every one handling harp and organ.
Bratu mu bijaše ime Jubal. On je praotac svih koji sviraju na liru i sviralu.
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.
Sila rodi Tubal-Kajina, praoca onih koji kuju bakar i željezo. Tubal-Kajinovoj sestri bijaše ime Naama.
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;
Lamek prozbori svojim ženama: “Ada i Sila, glas moj poslušajte! Žene Lamekove, čujte mi besjedu: Čovjeka sam ubio jer me ranio i dijete jer me udarilo.
24 For sevenfold is required for Cain, And for Lamech seventy and sevenfold.'
Ako će Kajin biti osvećen sedmerostruko, Lamek će sedamdeset i sedam puta!”
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.
Adam pozna svoju ženu te ona rodi sina i nadjenu mu ime Šet. Reče ona: “Bog mi dade drugo dijete mjesto Abela, koga ubi Kajin.”
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.
Šetu se rodi sin, komu on nadjenu ime Enoš. Tada se počelo zazivati ime Jahvino.
