< اَلتَّكْوِينُ 4 >

وَعَرَفَ آدَمُ حَوَّاءَ ٱمْرَأَتَهُ فَحَبِلَتْ وَوَلَدَتْ قَايِينَ. وَقَالَتِ: «ٱقْتَنَيْتُ رَجُلًا مِنْ عِنْدِ ٱلرَّبِّ». ١ 1
And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bore Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD.
ثُمَّ عَادَتْ فَوَلَدَتْ أَخَاهُ هَابِيلَ. وَكَانَ هَابِيلُ رَاعِيًا لِلْغَنَمِ، وَكَانَ قَايِينُ عَامِلًا فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ. ٢ 2
And she again bore his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.
وَحَدَثَ مِنْ بَعْدِ أَيَّامٍ أَنَّ قَايِينَ قَدَّمَ مِنْ أَثْمَارِ ٱلْأَرْضِ قُرْبَانًا لِلرَّبِّ، ٣ 3
And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering to the LORD.
وَقَدَّمَ هَابِيلُ أَيْضًا مِنْ أَبْكَارِ غَنَمِهِ وَمِنْ سِمَانِهَا. فَنَظَرَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَى هَابِيلَ وَقُرْبَانِهِ، ٤ 4
And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of its fat. And the LORD had respect to Abel and to his offering:
وَلَكِنْ إِلَى قَايِينَ وَقُرْبَانِهِ لَمْ يَنْظُرْ. فَٱغْتَاظَ قَايِينُ جِدًّا وَسَقَطَ وَجْهُهُ. ٥ 5
But to Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very angry, and his countenance fell.
فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِقَايِينَ: «لِمَاذَا ٱغْتَظْتَ؟ وَلِمَاذَا سَقَطَ وَجْهُكَ؟ ٦ 6
And the LORD said to Cain, Why art thou angry? and why is thy countenance fallen?
إِنْ أَحْسَنْتَ أَفَلَا رَفْعٌ؟ وَإِنْ لَمْ تُحْسِنْ فَعِنْدَ ٱلْبَابِ خَطِيَّةٌ رَابِضَةٌ، وَإِلَيْكَ ٱشْتِيَاقُهَا وَأَنْتَ تَسُودُ عَلَيْهَا». ٧ 7
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.
وَكَلَّمَ قَايِينُ هَابِيلَ أَخَاهُ. وَحَدَثَ إِذْ كَانَا فِي ٱلْحَقْلِ أَنَّ قَايِينَ قَامَ عَلَى هَابِيلَ أَخِيهِ وَقَتَلَهُ. ٨ 8
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.
فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِقَايِينَ: «أَيْنَ هَابِيلُ أَخُوكَ؟» فَقَالَ: «لَا أَعْلَمُ! أَحَارِسٌ أَنَا لِأَخِي؟» ٩ 9
And the LORD said to Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother’s keeper?
فَقَالَ: «مَاذَا فَعَلْتَ؟ صَوْتُ دَمِ أَخِيكَ صَارِخٌ إِلَيَّ مِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ. ١٠ 10
And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother’s blood crieth to me from the ground.
فَٱلْآنَ مَلْعُونٌ أَنْتَ مِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي فَتَحَتْ فَاهَا لِتَقْبَلَ دَمَ أَخِيكَ مِنْ يَدِكَ. ١١ 11
And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother’s blood from thy hand;
مَتَى عَمِلْتَ ٱلْأَرْضَ لَا تَعُودُ تُعْطِيكَ قُوَّتَهَا. تَائِهًا وَهَارِبًا تَكُونُ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ». ١٢ 12
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.
فَقَالَ قَايِينُ لِلرَّبِّ: «ذَنْبِي أَعْظَمُ مِنْ أَنْ يُحْتَمَلَ. ١٣ 13
And Cain said to the LORD, My punishment is greater than I can bear.
إِنَّكَ قَدْ طَرَدْتَنِي ٱلْيَوْمَ عَنْ وَجْهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَمِنْ وَجْهِكَ أَخْتَفِي وَأَكُونُ تَائِهًا وَهَارِبًا فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ، فَيَكُونُ كُلُّ مَنْ وَجَدَنِي يَقْتُلُنِي». ١٤ 14
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 shall come to pass, that any one that findeth me shall slay me.
فَقَالَ لَهُ ٱلرَّبُّ: «لِذَلِكَ كُلُّ مَنْ قَتَلَ قَايِينَ فَسَبْعَةَ أَضْعَافٍ يُنْتَقَمُ مِنْهُ». وَجَعَلَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِقَايِينَ عَلَامَةً لِكَيْ لَا يَقْتُلَهُ كُلُّ مَنْ وَجَدَهُ. ١٥ 15
And the LORD said to him, Therefore whoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the LORD set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him.
فَخَرَجَ قَايِينُ مِنْ لَدُنِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَسَكَنَ فِي أَرْضِ نُودٍ شَرْقِيَّ عَدْنٍ. ١٦ 16
And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.
وَعَرَفَ قَايِينُ ٱمْرَأَتَهُ فَحَبِلَتْ وَوَلَدَتْ حَنُوكَ. وَكَانَ يَبْنِي مَدِينَةً، فَدَعَا ٱسْمَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ كَٱسْمِ ٱبْنِهِ حَنُوكَ. ١٧ 17
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.
وَوُلِدَ لِحَنُوكَ عِيرَادُ. وَعِيرَادُ وَلَدَ مَحُويَائِيلَ. وَمَحُويَائِيلُ وَلَدَ مَتُوشَائِيلَ. وَمَتُوشَائِيلُ وَلَدَ لَامَكَ. ١٨ 18
And to Enoch was born Irad: and Irad begat Mehujael: and Mehujael begat Methusael: and Methusael begat Lamech.
وَٱتَّخَذَ لَامَكُ لِنَفْسِهِ ٱمْرَأَتَيْنِ: ٱسْمُ ٱلْوَاحِدَةِ عَادَةُ، وَٱسْمُ ٱلْأُخْرَى صِلَّةُ. ١٩ 19
And Lamech took to him two wives: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah.
فَوَلَدَتْ عَادَةُ يَابَالَ ٱلَّذِي كَانَ أَبًا لِسَاكِنِي ٱلْخِيَامِ وَرُعَاةِ ٱلْمَوَاشِي. ٢٠ 20
And Adah bore Jabal: he was the father of such as dwell in tents, and of such as have cattle.
وَٱسْمُ أَخِيهِ يُوبَالُ ٱلَّذِي كَانَ أَبًا لِكُلِّ ضَارِبٍ بِٱلْعُودِ وَٱلْمِزْمَارِ. ٢١ 21
And his brother’s name was Jubal: he was the father of all such as handle the harp and flute.
وَصِلَّةُ أَيْضًا وَلَدَتْ تُوبَالَ قَايِينَ ٱلضَّارِبَ كُلَّ آلَةٍ مِنْ نُحَاسٍ وَحَدِيدٍ. وَأُخْتُ تُوبَالَ قَايِينَ نَعْمَةُ. ٢٢ 22
And Zillah, she also bore Tubalcain, an instructor of every craftsman in brass and iron: and the sister of Tubalcain was Naamah.
وَقَالَ لَامَكُ لِٱمْرَأَتَيْهِ عَادَةَ وَصِلَّةَ: «ٱسْمَعَا قَوْلِي يَا ٱمْرَأَتَيْ لَامَكَ، وَأَصْغِيَا لِكَلَامِي. فَإِنِّي قَتَلْتُ رَجُلًا لِجُرْحِي، وَفَتىً لِشَدْخِي. ٢٣ 23
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 who wounded me, and a young man for hurting me.
إِنَّهُ يُنْتَقَمُ لِقَايِينَ سَبْعَةَ أَضْعَافٍ، وَأَمَّا لِلَامَكَ فَسَبْعَةً وَسَبْعِينَ». ٢٤ 24
If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, truly Lamech seventy and sevenfold.
وَعَرَفَ آدَمُ ٱمْرَأَتَهُ أَيْضًا، فَوَلَدَتِ ٱبْنًا وَدَعَتِ ٱسْمَهُ شِيثًا، قَائِلَةً: «لِأَنَّ ٱللهَ قَدْ وَضَعَ لِي نَسْلًا آخَرَ عِوَضًا عَنْ هَابِيلَ». لِأَنَّ قَايِينَ كَانَ قَدْ قَتَلَهُ. ٢٥ 25
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.
وَلِشِيثَ أَيْضًا وُلِدَ ٱبْنٌ فَدَعَا ٱسْمَهُ أَنُوشَ. حِينَئِذٍ ٱبْتُدِئَ أَنْ يُدْعَى بِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ. ٢٦ 26
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.
