Genesis 4
1 Truly, Adam knew his wife Eve, who conceived and gave birth to Cain, saying, “I have obtained a man through God.”
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
2 And again she gave birth to his brother Abel. But Abel was a pastor of sheep, and Cain was a farmer.
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
3 Then it happened, after many days, that Cain offered gifts to the Lord, from the fruits of the earth.
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
4 Abel likewise offered from the firstborn of his flock, and from their fat. And the Lord looked with favor on Abel and his gifts.
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
5 Yet in truth, he did not look with favor on Cain and his gifts. And Cain was vehemently angry, and his countenance fell.
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
6 And the Lord said to him: “Why are you angry? And why is your face fallen?
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
7 If you behave well, will you not receive? But if you behave badly, will not sin at once be present at the door? And so its desire will be within you, and you will be dominated by it.”
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
8 And Cain said to his brother Abel, “Let us go outside.” And when they were in the field, Cain rose up against his brother Abel, and he put him to death.
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
9 And the Lord said to Cain, “Where is your brother Abel?” And he responded: “I do not know. Am I my brother’s keeper?”
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
10 And he said to him: “What have you done? The voice of your brother’s blood cries out to me from the land.
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
11 Now, therefore, you will be cursed upon the land, which opened its mouth and received the blood of your brother at your hand.
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
12 When you work it, it will not give you its fruit; a vagrant and a fugitive shall you be upon the land.”
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
13 And Cain said to the Lord: “My iniquity is too great to deserve kindness.
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
14 Behold, you have cast me out this day before the face of the earth, and from your face I will be hidden; and I will be a vagrant and a fugitive on the earth. Therefore, anyone who finds me will kill me.”
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
15 And the Lord said to him: “By no means will it be so; rather, whoever would kill Cain, will be punished sevenfold.” And the Lord placed a seal upon Cain, so that anyone who found him would not put him to death.
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
16 And so Cain, departing from the face of the Lord, lived as a fugitive on the earth, toward the eastern region of Eden.
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
17 Then Cain knew his wife, and she conceived and gave birth to Enoch. And he built a city, and he called its name by the name of his son, Enoch.
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
18 Thereafter, Enoch conceived Irad, and Irad conceived Mahujael, and Mahujael conceived Mathusael, and Mathusael conceived Lamech.
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
19 Lamech took two wives: the name of one was Adah, and the name of the other was Zillah.
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
20 And Adah conceived Jabel, who was the father of those who live in tents and are shepherds.
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
21 And the name of his brother was Jubal; he was the father of those who sing to the harp and the organ.
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
22 Zillah also conceived Tubalcain, who was a hammerer and artisan in every work of brass and iron. In fact, the sister of Tubalcain was Noema.
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
23 And Lamech said to his wives Adah and Zillah: “Listen to my voice, you wives of Lamech, pay attention to my speech. For I have killed a man to my own harm, and an adolescent to my own bruising.
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
24 Sevenfold vengeance will be given for Cain, but for Lamech, seventy-seven times.”
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
25 Adam also knew his wife again, and she gave birth to a son, and she called his name Seth, saying, “God has given me another offspring, in place of Abel, whom Cain killed.”
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
26 But to Seth also was born a son, whom he called Enos. This one began to invoke the name of the Lord.
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
