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 bore 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 bore 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 to 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 to 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 to 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 to 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 to 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 to 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 to 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 to thee its 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 to 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 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 will come to pass, [that] every one that findeth me will 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 to him, Therefore whoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him seven-fold. 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 bore Enoch: and he built 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 to 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 to 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 bore 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 bore Tubalcain, an instructor of every artificer in brass and iron: and the sister of Tubalcain [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 to his wives, Adah and Zillah, Hear my voice, ye wives of Lamech, hearken to 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 seven-fold, truly Lamech seventy and seven-fold.
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 bore 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.
