創世記 4
1 アダム其妻エバを知る彼孕みてカインを生みて言けるは我ヱホバによりて一個の人を得たりと
Afterward the man knew Heuah his wife, which conceiued and bare Kain, and said, I haue obteined a man by the Lord.
2 彼また其弟アベルを生りアベルは羊を牧ふ者カインは土を耕す者なりき
And againe she brought foorth his brother Habel, and Habel was a keeper of sheepe, and Kain was a tiller of the ground.
3 日を經て後カイン土より出る果を携來りてヱホバに供物となせり
And in processe of time it came to passe, that Kain brought an oblation vnto the Lord of the fruite of the ground.
4 アベルもまた其羊の初生と其肥たる者を携來れりヱホバ、アベルと其供物を眷顧みたまひしかども
And Habel also him selfe brought of the first fruites of his sheepe, and of the fat of them, and the Lord had respect vnto Habel, and to his offering,
5 カインと其供物をば眷み給はざりしかばカイン甚だ怒り且其面をふせたり
But vnto Kain and to his offering he had no regarde: wherefore Kain was exceeding wroth, and his countenance fell downe.
6 ヱホバ、カインに言たまひけるは汝何ぞ怒るや何ぞ面をふするや
Then ye Lord said vnto Kain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance cast downe?
7 汝若善を行はば擧ることをえざらんや若善を行はずば罪門戸に伏す彼は汝を慕ひ汝は彼を治めん
If thou do well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sinne lieth at the doore: also vnto thee his desire shalbe subiect, and thou shalt rule ouer him.
8 カイン其弟アベルに語りぬ彼等野にをりける時カイン其弟アベルに起かかりて之を殺せり
Then Kain spake to Habel his brother. And when they were in the fielde, Kain rose vp against Habel his brother, and slewe him.
9 ヱホバ、カインに言たまひけるは汝の弟アベルは何處にをるや彼言ふ我しらず我あに我弟の守者ならんやと
Then the Lord said vnto Kain, Where is Habel thy brother? Who answered, I cannot tell. Am I my brothers keeper?
10 ヱホバ言たまひけるは汝何をなしたるや汝の弟の血の聲地より我に叫べり
Againe he said, What hast thou done? the voyce of thy brothers blood cryeth vnto me from the earth.
11 されば汝は詛れて此地を離るべし此地其口を啓きて汝の弟の血を汝の手より受たればなり
Now therefore thou art cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receiue thy brothers blood from thine hand.
12 汝地を耕すとも地は再其力を汝に效さじ汝は地に吟行ふ流離子となるべしと
When thou shalt till the grounde, it shall not henceforth yeelde vnto thee her strength: a vagabond and a runnagate shalt thou be in the earth.
13 カイン、ヱホバに言けるは我が罪は大にして負ふこと能はず
Then Kain said to the Lord, My punishment is greater, then I can beare.
14 視よ汝今日斯地の面より我を逐出したまふ我汝の面を觀ることなきにいたらん我地に吟行ふ流離子とならん凡そ我に遇ふ者我を殺さん
Behold, thou hast cast me out this day from the earth, and from thy face shall I be hid, and shalbe a vagabond, and a runnagate in the earth, and whosoeuer findeth me, shall slay me.
15 ヱホバ彼に言たまひけるは然らず凡そカインを殺す者は七倍の罰を受んとヱホバ、カインに遇ふ者の彼を撃ざるため印誌を彼に與へたまへり
Then the Lord said vnto him, Doubtlesse whosoeuer slayeth Kain, he shalbe punished seue folde. And the Lord set a marke vpon Kain, lest any man finding him should kill him.
16 カイン、ヱホバの前を離て出でエデンの東なるノドの地に住り
Then Kain went out from the presence of the Lord, and dwelt in the land of Nod towarde the Eastside of Eden.
17 カイン其妻を知る彼孕みエノクを生りカイン邑を建て其邑の名を其子の名に循ひてエノクと名けたり
Kain also knewe his wife, which conceiued and bare Henoch: and he built a citie, and called the name of the citie by ye name of his sonne, Henoch.
18 エノクにイラデ生れたりイラデ、メホヤエルを生みメホヤエル、メトサエルを生みメトサエル、レメクを生り
And to Henoch was borne Irad, and Irad begate Mehuiael, and Mehuiael begate Methushael, and Methushael begate Lamech.
19 レメク二人の妻を娶れり一の名はアダと曰ひ一の名はチラと曰り
And Lamech tooke him two wiues: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah.
20 アダ、ヤバルを生めり彼は天幕に住て家畜を牧ふ所の者の先祖なり
And Adah bare Iabal, who was the father of such as dwell in the tents, and of such as haue cattell.
21 其弟の名はユバルと云ふ彼は琴と笛とをとる凡ての者の先祖なり
And his brothers name was Iubal, who was the father of all that play on the harpe and organes.
22 又チラ、トバルカインを生り彼は銅と鐡の諸の刃物を鍛ふ者なりトバルカインの妹をナアマといふ
And Zillah also bare Tubal-kain, who wrought cunningly euery craft of brasse and of yron: and the sister of Tubal-kain was Naamah.
23 レメク其妻等に言けるはアダとチラよ我聲を聽けレメクの妻等よわが言を容よ我わが創傷のために人を殺すわが痍のために少年を殺す
Then Lamech saide vnto his wiues Adah and Zillah, Heare my voyce, ye wiues of Lamech: hearken vnto my speach: for I would slay a man in my wound, and a yong man in mine hurt.
24 カインのために七倍の罰あればレメクのためには七十七倍の罰あらん
If Kain shalbe auenged seuen folde, truely Lamech, seuentie times seuen folde.
25 アダム復其妻を知て彼男子を生み其名をセツと名けたり其は彼神我にカインの殺したるアベルのかはりに他の子を與へたまへりといひたればなり
And Adam knewe his wife againe, and she bare a sonne, and she called his name Sheth: for God, saide she, hath appointed me another seede for Habel, because Kain slewe him.
26 セツにもまた男子生れたりかれ其名をエノスと名けたり此時人々ヱホバの名を呼ことをはじめたり
And to ye same Sheth also there was borne a sonne, and he called his name Enosh. Then beganne men to call vpon the name of the Lord.
