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
And the man knew his wife Eve, and she conceives and bears Cain, and says, “I have acquired a man by YHWH”;
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 she adds to bear his brother, even Abel. And Abel is feeding a flock, and Cain has been servant 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 it comes to pass at the end of days that Cain brings from the fruit of the ground a present to YHWH;
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 Abel, he has brought, he also, from the female firstlings of his flock, and from their fat ones; and YHWH looks to Abel and to his present,
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
and to Cain and to his present He has not looked; and it is very displeasing to Cain, and his countenance is fallen.
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
And YHWH says to Cain, “Why do you have displeasure? And why has your countenance fallen?
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
Is there not, if you do well, acceptance? And if you do not do well, sin [[or a sin-offering]] is lying at the opening, and its [[or His]] desire [is] for you, and you rule over it [[or by 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
And Cain says to his brother Abel, [[“Let us go into the field”; ]] and it comes to pass in their being in the field, that Cain rises up against his brother Abel, and slays 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
And YHWH says to Cain, “Where [is] your brother Abel?” And he says, “I have not known; am I my brother’s 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
And He says, “What have you done? The voice of your brother’s blood is crying to Me from the ground;
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
and now, cursed [are] you from the ground, which has opened her mouth to receive the blood of your brother from your 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 you till the ground, it will not add to give its strength to you—a wanderer, even a trembling one, you are 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
And Cain says to YHWH, “My punishment is too great than to bear;
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, You have driven me today from off the face of the ground, and from Your face I am hid; and I have been a wanderer, even a trembling one, in the earth, and it has been—everyone finding me will 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
And YHWH says to him, “Therefore, of any slayer of Cain it is required sevenfold”; and YHWH sets to Cain a token that none finding him will slay 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
And Cain goes out from before YHWH, and dwells in the land, moving about east 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
and Cain knows his wife, and she conceives, and bears Enoch; and he is building a city, and he calls the name of the city, according to the name of his son—Enoch.
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 born to Enoch is Irad; and Irad has begotten Mehujael; and Mehujael has begotten Methusael; and Methusael has begotten 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 takes to himself two wives, the name of the first Adah, and the name of the second 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 bears Jabal, he has been father of those inhabiting tents and [having] purchased livestock;
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 the name of his brother [is] Jubal, he has been father of everyone handling harp and pipe.
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, she also bears Tubal-Cain, an instructor of every craftsman in bronze and iron; and a sister of Tubal-Cain [is] 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
And Lamech says to his wives: “Adah and Zillah, hear my voice; Wives of Lamech, give ear [to] my saying: For I have slain a man for my wound, Even a young man for my 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
For sevenfold is required for Cain, And for Lamech seventy-sevenfold.”
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 again knows his wife, and she bears a son, and calls his name Seth, “for God has appointed for me another seed instead of Abel”: for Cain had slain 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 Seth, to him also a son has been born, and he calls his name Enos; then a beginning was made of preaching in the Name of YHWH.
