उत्पत्ति 4
1 १ जब आदम अपनी पत्नी हव्वा के पास गया तब उसने गर्भवती होकर कैन को जन्म दिया और कहा, “मैंने यहोवा की सहायता से एक पुत्र को जन्म दिया है।”
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 २ फिर वह उसके भाई हाबिल को भी जन्मी, हाबिल तो भेड़-बकरियों का चरवाहा बन गया, परन्तु कैन भूमि की खेती करनेवाला किसान बना।
[After those boys grew up], Abel (tended/took care of) sheep and goats, and Cain became a farmer.
One day Cain harvested some of the crops he had grown and brought them to Yahweh as a gift for him,
4 ४ और हाबिल भी अपनी भेड़-बकरियों के कई एक पहलौठे बच्चे भेंट चढ़ाने ले आया और उनकी चर्बी भेंट चढ़ाई; तब यहोवा ने हाबिल और उसकी भेंट को तो ग्रहण किया,
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 ५ परन्तु कैन और उसकी भेंट को उसने ग्रहण न किया। तब कैन अति क्रोधित हुआ, और उसके मुँह पर उदासी छा गई।
but he was not pleased with Cain and his offering. So Cain became very angry, and his face looked dejected.
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 ७ यदि तू भला करे, तो क्या तेरी भेंट ग्रहण न की जाएगी? और यदि तू भला न करे, तो पाप द्वार पर छिपा रहता है, और उसकी लालसा तेरी ओर होगी, और तुझे उस पर प्रभुता करनी है।”
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 ८ तब कैन ने अपने भाई हाबिल से कुछ कहा; और जब वे मैदान में थे, तब कैन ने अपने भाई हाबिल पर चढ़कर उसकी हत्या कर दी।
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 ९ तब यहोवा ने कैन से पूछा, “तेरा भाई हाबिल कहाँ है?” उसने कहा, “मालूम नहीं; क्या मैं अपने भाई का रखवाला हूँ?”
[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 १० उसने कहा, “तूने क्या किया है? तेरे भाई का लहू भूमि में से मेरी ओर चिल्लाकर मेरी दुहाई दे रहा है!
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 ११ इसलिए अब भूमि जिसने तेरे भाई का लहू तेरे हाथ से पीने के लिये अपना मुँह खोला है, उसकी ओर से तू श्रापित है।
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 १२ चाहे तू भूमि पर खेती करे, तो भी उसकी पूरी उपज फिर तुझे न मिलेगी, और तू पृथ्वी पर भटकने वाला और भगोड़ा होगा।”
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.”
Cain replied, “You are punishing me more then I can endure.
14 १४ देख, तूने आज के दिन मुझे भूमि पर से निकाला है और मैं तेरी दृष्टि की आड़ में रहूँगा और पृथ्वी पर भटकने वाला और भगोड़ा रहूँगा; और जो कोई मुझे पाएगा, मेरी हत्या करेगा।”
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 १५ इस कारण यहोवा ने उससे कहा, “जो कोई कैन की हत्या करेगा उससे सात गुणा बदला लिया जाएगा।” और यहोवा ने कैन के लिये एक चिन्ह ठहराया ऐसा न हो कि कोई उसे पाकर मार डाले।
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.
So Cain left Yahweh and went to live in the land called Nod, [which means ‘wandering’], which was east of Eden.
17 १७ जब कैन अपनी पत्नी के पास गया तब वह गर्भवती हुई और हनोक को जन्म दिया; फिर कैन ने एक नगर बसाया और उस नगर का नाम अपने पुत्र के नाम पर हनोक रखा।
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 १८ हनोक से ईराद उत्पन्न हुआ, और ईराद से महूयाएल उत्पन्न हुआ और महूयाएल से मतूशाएल, और मतूशाएल से लेमेक उत्पन्न हुआ।
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.
When Lamech [grew up he] married two women. The name of one was Adah and the other was Zillah.
20 २० आदा ने याबाल को जन्म दिया। वह उन लोगों का पिता था जो तम्बुओं में रहते थे और पशुओं का पालन करके जीवन निर्वाह करते थे।
Adah gave birth to [a son she named] Jabal.
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 २२ और सिल्ला ने भी तूबल-कैन नामक एक पुत्र को जन्म दिया: वह पीतल और लोहे के सब धारवाले हथियारों का गढ़नेवाला हुआ। और तूबल-कैन की बहन नामाह थी।
[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 २३ लेमेक ने अपनी पत्नियों से कहा, “हे आदा और हे सिल्ला मेरी सुनो; हे लेमेक की पत्नियों, मेरी बात पर कान लगाओ: मैंने एक पुरुष को जो मुझे चोट लगाता था, अर्थात् एक जवान को जो मुझे घायल करता था, घात किया है।
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.
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 २५ और आदम अपनी पत्नी के पास फिर गया; और उसने एक पुत्र को जन्म दिया और उसका नाम यह कहकर शेत रखा कि “परमेश्वर ने मेरे लिये हाबिल के बदले, जिसको कैन ने मारा था, एक और वंश प्रदान किया।”
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 २६ और शेत के भी एक पुत्र उत्पन्न हुआ और उसने उसका नाम एनोश रखा। उसी समय से लोग यहोवा से प्रार्थना करने लगे।
When Seth grew up, he became the father of a son whom he named Enosh. About that time people began to worship Yahweh [again].
