< 1 Mózes 4 >

1 Azután ismeré Ádám az ő feleségét Évát, a ki fogad vala méhében és szűli vala Kaint, és monda: Nyertem férfiat az Úrtól.
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 És ismét szűlé annak atyjafiát, Ábelt. És Ábel juhok pásztora lőn, Kain pedig földmívelő.
[After those boys grew up], Abel (tended/took care of) sheep and goats, and Cain became a farmer.
3 Lőn pedig idő multával, hogy Kain ajándékot vive az Úrnak a föld gyümölcséből.
One day Cain harvested some of the crops he had grown and brought them to Yahweh as a gift for him,
4 És Ábel is vive az ő juhainak első fajzásából és azoknak kövérségéből. És tekinte az Úr Ábelre és az ő ajándékára.
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 Kainra pedig és az ő ajándékára nem tekinte, miért is Kain haragra gerjede és fejét lecsüggeszté.
but he was not pleased with Cain and his offering. So Cain became very angry, and his face looked dejected.
6 És monda az Úr Kainnak: Miért gerjedtél haragra? és miért csüggesztéd le fejedet?
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 Hiszen, ha jól cselekszel, emelt fővel járhatsz; ha pedig nem jól cselekszel, a bűn az ajtó előtt leselkedik, és reád van vágyódása; de te uralkodjál rajta.
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 És szól s beszél vala Kain Ábellel, az ő atyjafiával. És lőn, mikor a mezőn valának, támada Kain Ábelre az ő atyjafiára, és megölé őt.
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 És monda az Úr Kainnak: Hol van Ábel a te atyádfia? Ő pedig monda: Nem tudom, avagy őrizője vagyok-é én az én atyámfiának?
[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 Monda pedig az Úr: Mit cselekedtél? A te atyádfiának vére kiált én hozzám a földről.
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 Mostan azért átkozott légy e földön, mely megnyitotta az ő száját, hogy befogadja a te atyádfiának vérét, a te kezedből.
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 Mikor a földet míveled, ne adja az többé néked az ő termő erejét, bujdosó és vándorló légy a földön.
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 Akkor monda Kain az Úrnak: Nagyobb az én büntetésem, hogysem elhordozhatnám.
Cain replied, “You are punishing me more then I can endure.
14 Ímé elűzöl engem ma e földnek színéről, és a te színed elől el kell rejtőznöm; bujdosó és vándorló leszek a földön, és akkor akárki talál reám, megöl engemet.
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 És monda néki az Úr: Sőt inkább, aki megöléndi Kaint, hétszerte megbüntettetik. És megbélyegzé az Úr Kaint, hogy senki meg ne ölje, a ki rátalál.
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 És elméne Kain az Úr színe elől, és letelepedék Nód földén, Édentől keletre.
So Cain left Yahweh and went to live in the land called Nod, [which means ‘wandering’], which was east of Eden.
17 És ismeré Kain az ő feleségét, az pedig fogada méhében, és szűlé Hánókhot. És építe várost, és nevezé azt az ő fiának nevéről Hánókhnak.
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 És lett Hánókhnak fia, Irád: És Irád nemzé Mekhujáelt: Mekhujáel pedig nemzé Methusáelt, és Methusáel nemzé Lámekhet.
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 Lámekh pedig vett magának két feleséget: az egyiknek neve Háda, a másiknak neve Czilla.
When Lamech [grew up he] married two women. The name of one was Adah and the other was Zillah.
20 És szűlé Háda Jábált. Ez volt atyjok a sátorban-lakóknak, és a barompásztoroknak.
Adah gave birth to [a son she named] Jabal.
21 Az ő atyjafiának pedig Jubál vala neve: ez volt atyja minden lantosnak és síposnak.
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 Czilla pedig szűlé Tubálkaint, mindenféle réz- és vasszerszámok kovácsolóját: és Tubálkain hugát, Nahamát.
[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 Akkor monda Lámekh az ő feleségeinek: Oh Háda és Czilla, hallgassatok szómra, Lámekh feleségei, halljátok beszédem: embert öltem, mert megsebzett; ifjat öltem, mert megütött.
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 Ha hétszeres a bosszú Kainért, hetvenhétszeres az Lámekhért.
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 Ádám pedig ismét ismeré az ő feleségét, és az szűle néki fiat, és nevezé annak nevét Séthnek: mert adott úgymond, énnékem az Isten más magot Ábel helyett, kit megöle Kain.
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 Séthnek is született fia, és nevezé annak nevét Énósnak. Akkor kezdték segítségül hívni az Úrnak nevét.
When Seth grew up, he became the father of a son whom he named Enosh. About that time people began to worship Yahweh [again].
