1 Mooseksen 4
1 Ja Adam tunsi emäntänsä Hevan, ja hän tuli raskaaksi, ja synnytti Kainin, ja sanoi: minulla on mies Herra.
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.
2 Ja taas hän synnytti hänen veljensä Habelin. Ja Habel tuli lampuriksi, mutta Kain peltomieheksi.
[After those boys grew up], Abel (tended/took care of) sheep and goats, and Cain became a farmer.
3 Ja tapahtui muutamain päiväin perästä, että Kain uhrasi Herralle lahjan maan hedelmistä.
One day Cain harvested some of the crops he had grown and brought them to Yahweh as a gift for him,
4 Ja Habel myös uhrasi laumansa esikoisista, ja heidän lihavuudestansa. Ja Herra katsoi (leppyisesti) Habelin ja hänen uhrinsa puoleen.
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,
5 Mutta Kainin ja hänen uhrinsa puoleen ei hän (leppyisesti) katsonut: silloin Kain vihastui sangen kovin, ja hänen hahmonsa muuttui.
but he was not pleased with Cain and his offering. So Cain became very angry, and his face looked dejected.
6 Niin Herra sanoi Kainille: miksis olet vihainen? Ja miksi hahmos muuttuu?
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]
7 Eikö se niin ole? jos hyvin teet niin syntis anteeksi annetaan; ja jolles hyvin tee, niin synti väijyy oven edessä, ja hänen himonsa on sinun tykös, vaan hallitse sinä häntä.
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.”
8 Ja Kain puhui veljensä Habelin kanssa. Ja tapahtui heidän kedolla ollessansa, että Kain karkasi veljensä Habelin päälle, ja tappoi hänen.
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.
9 Niin Herra sanoi Kainille: kussa on Habel sinun veljes? hän vastasi: en minä tiedä: olenko minä veljeni vartia?
[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]
10 Ja hän sanoi: mitäs tehnyt olet? veljes veren ääni huutaa minun tyköni maasta.
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.
11 Ja nyt kirottu ole sinä: (kirottu) maan päältä, joka avasi suunsa ottamaan veljes verta sinun kädestäs.
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.
12 Koskas maata viljelet, niin ei pidä sen tästedes sinulle väkeänsä antaman; kulkian ja pakenevaisen pitää sinun oleman maan päällä.
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.”
13 Ja Kain sanoi Herralle: minun rangaistukseni on suurempi, kuin että se on kannettava.
Cain replied, “You are punishing me more then I can endure.
14 Katsos, sinä ajat minun pois tänäpäivänä maalta, ja minun pitää sinun kasvois edestä lymymän ja tulen kulkiaksi ja pakenevaiseksi maan päällä. Ja niin minun käy, kuka ikänänsä minun löytää, se tappaa minun.
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.”
15 Mutta Herra sanoi hänelle: Sentähden, kuka ikänänsä Kainin tappaa, se pitää seitsemän kertaisesti kostettaman. Ja Herra pani merkin Kainiin, ettei kenkään häntä tappaisi, joka hänen löytäisi.
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.
16 Ja niin Kain läksi Herran kasvoin edestä, ja asui Nodin maalla, itään päin Edenistä.
So Cain left Yahweh and went to live in the land called Nod, [which means ‘wandering’], which was east of Eden.
17 Ja Kain tunsi emäntänsä, joka tuli raskaaksi, ja synnytti Hanokin. Ja hän rakensi kaupungin, jonka hän kutsui poikansa nimellä Hanok.
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.
18 Mutta Hanok siitti Iradin. Irad siitti Mahujaelin. Mahujael siitti Metusaelin. Metusael siitti Lamekin.
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.
19 Mutta Lamek otti kaksi emäntää, yhden nimi oli Ada, ja toisen nimi Zilla.
When Lamech [grew up he] married two women. The name of one was Adah and the other was Zillah.
20 Ja Ada synnytti Jabalin, joka oli niiden isä, jotka majoissa asuivat, ja karjaa kasvattivat.
Adah gave birth to [a son she named] Jabal.
21 Ja hänen veljensä nimi oli Jubal, josta kantelein ja huiluin soittajat tulivat.
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.
22 Zilla myös synnytti TubalKainin, joka oli taitava kaikkinaisissa vaski-ja rautatöissä, ja Tubalkainin sisar oli Naema.
[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.
23 Ja Lamek sanoi emännillensä, Adalle ja Zillalle: te Lamekin emännät, kuulkaat minun ääntäni, ja vaari ottakaat siitä kuin minä sanon: minä olen miehen tappanut minulleni haavaksi, ja nuorukaisen minulleni sinimarjaksi:
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.
24 Kain kostetaan seitsemän kertaisesti, mutta Lamek seitsemän ja seitsemänkymmenen kertaisesti.
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].”
25 Ja Adam taas tunsi emäntänsä, ja hän synnytti pojan, ja kutsui hänen nimensä Set, sanoen: Jumala on minulle toisen siemenen antanut Habelin edestä, jonka Kain tappoi.
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.”
26 Ja Set myös siitti pojan, ja kutsui hänen Enos. Silloin ruvettiin saarnaamaan Herran nimestä.
When Seth grew up, he became the father of a son whom he named Enosh. About that time people began to worship Yahweh [again].
