1 Mojzes 4
1 Adam je spoznal svojo ženo Evo in ta je spočela ter rodila Kajna in rekla: »Dobila sem človeka od Gospoda.«
And Man knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bore Cain, and said, I have acquired a man with Jehovah.
2 In ponovno je rodila njegovega brata Abela. In Abel je bil čuvaj ovc, toda Kajn je bil orač tal.
And she further bore his brother Abel. And Abel was a shepherd, but Cain was a husbandman.
3 Tekom časa se je pripetilo, da je Kajn od sadu tal prinesel daritev Gospodu.
And in process of time it came to pass that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering to Jehovah.
4 In tudi Abel je prinesel prvence od svojega tropa in od njihove tolšče. In Gospod je imel spoštovanje do Abela in njegove daritve,
And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock, and of their fat. And Jehovah looked upon Abel, and on his offering;
5 toda do Kajna in njegove daritve [pa] ni imel spoštovanja. In Kajn je bil zelo ogorčen in njegovo obličje je upadlo.
and upon Cain, and on his offering, he did not look. And Cain was very angry, and his countenance fell.
6 Gospod je rekel Kajnu: »Zakaj si ogorčen? In zakaj je tvoje obličje upadlo?
And Jehovah said to Cain, Why art thou angry, and why is thy countenance fallen?
7 Če delaš dobro ali ne boš sprejet? Če pa ne delaš dobro, greh leži pri vratih. Njegovo poželenje naj bo k tebi, ti pa boš vladal nad njim.«
If thou doest well, will not [thy countenance] look up [with confidence]? 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 Kajn je govoril s svojim bratom Abelom, in ko sta bila na polju, se je pripetilo, da se je Kajn dvignil zoper svojega brata Abela in ga ubil.
And Cain spoke to 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 Gospod je rekel Kajnu: »Kje je tvoj brat, Abel?« On pa je rekel: »Ne vem. Sem mar jaz čuvaj svojega brata?«
And Jehovah said to Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: am I my brother's keeper?
10 Rekel je: »Kaj si storil? Glas krvi tvojega brata iz tal vpije k meni.
And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood is crying to me from the ground.
11 Sedaj si preklet pred zemljo, ki je odprla svoja usta, da iz tvoje roke sprejme kri tvojega brata.
And now be thou cursed from the ground, which hath opened its mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand.
12 Ko boš oral tla, ti odslej ne bodo obrodila svoje moči; na zemlji boš ubežnik in potepuh.«
When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield thee its strength; a wanderer and fugitive shalt thou be on the earth.
13 Kajn je Gospodu rekel: »Moja kazen je večja, kakor jo lahko prenesem.
And Cain said to Jehovah, My punishment is too great to be borne.
14 Glej, danes si me napodil izpred obličja zemlje, in skrit bom pred tvojim obličjem, in na zemlji bom ubežnik ter potepuh; in zgodilo se bo, da me bo ubil vsak, kdor me najde.«
Behold, thou hast driven me this day from the face of the ground, and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a wanderer and fugitive on the earth; and it will come to pass, [that] every one who finds me will slay me.
15 Gospod mu je rekel: »Zatorej kdorkoli ubije Kajna, bo nanj nadeto sedemkratno maščevanje.« In Gospod je na Kajna namestil znamenje, da kdorkoli ga najde, ga ne bi ubil.
And Jehovah said to him, Therefore, whoever slayeth Cain, it shall be revenged sevenfold. And Jehovah set a mark on Cain, lest any finding him should smite him.
16 Kajn je odšel izpred Gospodove prisotnosti in prebival v deželi Nod, vzhodno od Edena.
And Cain went out from the presence of Jehovah, and dwelt in the land of Nod, toward the east of Eden.
17 Kajn je spoznal svojo ženo in ta je spočela ter rodila Henoha. Ta je zgradil mesto in ime mesta imenoval Henoh, po imenu svojega sina.
And Cain knew his wife, and she conceived and bore Enoch. And he built a city; and he called the name of the city after the name of his son Enoch.
18 Henohu se je rodil Irád, in Irád je zaplodil Mehujaéla, in Mehujaél je zaplodil Metušaéla, in Metušaél je zaplodil Lameha.
And to Enoch was born Irad; and Irad begot Mehujael; and Mehujael begot Methushael; and Methushael begot Lemech.
19 Lameh si je vzel dve ženi: ime prve je bilo Ada, ime druge pa Cila.
And Lemech took two wives: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the second, Zillah.
20 Ada je rodila Jabála; ta je bil oče teh, ki prebivajo v šotorih in teh, ki imajo živino.
And Adah bore Jabal: he was the father of those who dwell in tents, and [breed] cattle.
21 Ime njegovega brata je bilo Jubál; bil je oče vseh teh, ki prijemajo harfo in piščal.
And his brother's name was Jubal: he was the father of those who handle the harp and pipe.
22 Cila pa je rodila tudi Tubál Kajina, učitelja vsakega rokodelca z bronom in železom, in Tubál Kajinova sestra je bila Naáma.
And Zillah, she also bore Tubal-Cain, the forger of every kind of tool of brass and iron. And the sister of Tubal-Cain was Naamah.
23 Lameh je rekel svojima ženama, Adi in Cili: »Poslušajta moj glas, vidve, Lamehovi ženi, prisluhnita mojemu govoru, kajti umoril sem človeka, ki mi prizadeva rane in mladeniča, za mojo rano.
And Lemech said to his wives: Adah and Zillah, hear my voice, Ye wives of Lemech, listen to my speech. For I have slain a man for my wound, and a youth for my bruise.
24 Če bo Kajn sedemkrat maščevan, resnično, Lameh [pa] sedeminsedemdesetkrat.«
If Cain shall be avenged seven-fold; Lemech seventy and seven fold.
25 Adam je spet spoznal svojo ženo in rodila je sina in njegovo ime je imenovala Set. »Kajti Bog, « je rekla, »mi je določil drugega potomca namesto Abela, ki ga je ubil Kajn.«
And Adam knew his wife again, and she bore a son, and called his name Seth: ...For God has appointed me another seed instead of Abel, because Cain has slain him.
26 In Setu, tudi njemu se je rodil sin, in njegovo ime je imenoval Enóš. Potem so ljudje začeli klicati Gospodovo ime.
And to Seth, to him also was born a son; and he called his name Enosh. Then people began to call on the name of Jehovah.
