Postanak 4
1 Iza toga Adam pozna Jevu ženu svoju, a ona zatrudnje i rodi Kajina, i reèe: dobih èovjeka od Gospoda.
And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD.
2 I rodi opet brata njegova Avelja. I Avelj posta pastir a Kajin ratar.
And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.
3 A poslije nekoga vremena dogodi se, te Kajin prinese Gospodu prinos od roda zemaljskoga;
And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD.
4 A i Avelj prinese od prvina stada svojega i od njihove pretiline. I Gospod pogleda na Avelja i na njegov prinos,
And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering:
5 A na Kajina i na njegov prinos ne pogleda. Zato se Kajin rasrdi veoma, i lice mu se promijeni.
But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.
6 Tada reèe Gospod Kajinu: što se srdiš? što li ti se lice promijeni?
And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen?
7 Neæeš li biti mio, kad dobro èiniš? a kad ne èiniš dobro, grijeh je na vratima. A volja je njegova pod tvojom vlašæu, i ti si mu stariji.
If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee [shall be] his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.
8 Poslije govoraše Kajin s Aveljem bratom svojim. Ali kad bijahu u polju, skoèi Kajin na Avelja brata svojega, i ubi ga.
And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.
9 Tada reèe Gospod Kajinu: gdje ti je brat Avelj? A on odgovori: ne znam; zar sam ja èuvar brata svojega?
And the LORD said unto Cain, Where [is] Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: [Am] I my brother’s keeper?
10 A Bog reèe: šta uèini! glas krvi brata tvojega vièe sa zemlje k meni.
And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother’s blood crieth unto me from the ground.
11 I sada, da si proklet na zemlji, koja je otvorila usta svoja da primi krv brata tvojega iz ruke tvoje.
And now [art] thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother’s blood from thy hand;
12 Kad zemlju uzradiš, neæe ti više davati blaga svojega. Biæeš potukaè i bjegunac na zemlji.
When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth.
13 A Kajin reèe Gospodu: krivica je moja velika da mi se ne može oprostiti.
And Cain said unto the LORD, My punishment [is] greater than I can bear.
14 Evo me tjeraš danas iz ove zemlje da se krijem ispred tebe, i da se skitam i potucam po zemlji, pa æe me ubiti ko me udesi.
Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth; and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass, [that] every one that findeth me shall slay me.
15 A Gospod mu reèe: zato ko ubije Kajina, sedam æe se puta to pokajati. I naèini Gospod znak na Kajinu da ga ne ubije ko ga udesi.
And the LORD said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the LORD set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him.
16 I otide Kajin ispred Gospoda, i naseli se u zemlji Naidskoj na istoku prema Edemu.
And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.
17 I pozna Kajin ženu svoju, a ona zatrudnje i rodi Enoha. I sazida grad i prozva ga po imenu sina svojega Enoh.
And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch.
18 A Enohu rodi se Gaidad; a Gaidad rodi Maleleila; a Maleleilo rodi Matusala; a Matusal rodi Lameha.
And unto Enoch was born Irad: and Irad begat Mehujael: and Mehujael begat Methusael: and Methusael begat Lamech.
19 I uze Lameh dvije žene: jednoj bješe ime Ada a drugoj Sela.
And Lamech took unto him two wives: the name of the one [was] Adah, and the name of the other Zillah.
20 I Ada rodi Jovila; od njega se narodiše koji žive pod šatorima i stoku pasu.
And Adah bare Jabal: he was the father of such as dwell in tents, and [of such as have] cattle.
21 A bratu njegovu bješe ime Juval; od njega se narodiše gudaèi i sviraèi.
And his brother’s name [was] Jubal: he was the father of all such as handle the harp and organ.
22 A i Sela rodi Tovela, koji bješe vješt kovati svašta od mjedi i od gvožða; a sestra Tovelu bješe Noema.
And Zillah, she also bare Tubal-cain, an instructer of every artificer in brass and iron: and the sister of Tubal-cain [was] Naamah.
23 I reèe Lameh svojima ženama, Adi i Seli: èujte glas moj, žene Lamehove, poslušajte rijeèi moje: ubiæu èovjeka za ranu svoju i mladiæa za masnicu svoju.
And Lamech said unto his wives, Adah and Zillah, Hear my voice; ye wives of Lamech, hearken unto my speech: for I have slain a man to my wounding, and a young man to my hurt.
24 Kad æe se Kajin osvetiti sedam puta, Lameh æe sedamdeset i sedam puta.
If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, truly Lamech seventy and sevenfold.
25 A Adam opet pozna ženu svoju, i ona rodi sina, i nadje mu ime Sit, jer mi, reèe, Bog dade drugoga sina za Avelja, kojega ubi Kajin.
And Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son, and called his name Seth: For God, [said she], hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew.
26 I Situ se rodi sin, kojemu nadjede ime Enos. Tada se poèe prizivati ime Gospodnje.
And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enos: then began men to call upon the name of the LORD.
