Genesis 4
1 Adam slept with his wife Eve and she became pregnant. She gave birth to Cain, and said, “With the Lord's help I have made a man.”
Iza toga Adam pozna Jevu ženu svoju, a ona zatrudnje i rodi Kajina, i reèe: dobih èovjeka od Gospoda.
2 Later she gave birth to his brother Abel. Abel became a shepherd, while Cain was a crop farmer.
I rodi opet brata njegova Avelja. I Avelj posta pastir a Kajin ratar.
3 Sometime later Cain brought some of the produce he'd grown as an offering to the Lord.
A poslije nekoga vremena dogodi se, te Kajin prinese Gospodu prinos od roda zemaljskoga;
4 Abel also brought an offering: the firstborn lambs of his flock, selecting the very best parts to offer. The Lord was pleased with Abel and his offering,
A i Avelj prinese od prvina stada svojega i od njihove pretiline. I Gospod pogleda na Avelja i na njegov prinos,
5 but he wasn't pleased with Cain and his offering, which made Cain very angry and he frowned in annoyance.
A na Kajina i na njegov prinos ne pogleda. Zato se Kajin rasrdi veoma, i lice mu se promijeni.
6 The Lord said to Cain, “Why are you so angry? Why do you look so annoyed?
Tada reèe Gospod Kajinu: što se srdiš? što li ti se lice promijeni?
7 If you were doing what's right, then you'd be looking happy. But if you don't do what's right, then sin will be like animal crouching outside your home, ready to pounce on you. It wants to have you, but you must be the one in control.”
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.
8 Later, when Cain was talking with his brother Abel they went out into the fields where Cain attacked his brother and killed him.
Poslije govoraše Kajin s Aveljem bratom svojim. Ali kad bijahu u polju, skoèi Kajin na Avelja brata svojega, i ubi ga.
9 “Where is your brother Abel?” the Lord asked Cain. “How should I know?” he replied. “Am I supposed to be my brother's care-giver?”
Tada reèe Gospod Kajinu: gdje ti je brat Avelj? A on odgovori: ne znam; zar sam ja èuvar brata svojega?
10 “What have you done?” the Lord asked. “Your brother's blood is crying out to me from the ground.
A Bog reèe: šta uèini! glas krvi brata tvojega vièe sa zemlje k meni.
11 Consequently you are more cursed than the ground because you soaked it with your brother's blood.
I sada, da si proklet na zemlji, koja je otvorila usta svoja da primi krv brata tvojega iz ruke tvoje.
12 When you cultivate the ground, it won't produce crops for you. You'll be always on the run, wandering all over the earth.”
Kad zemlju uzradiš, neæe ti više davati blaga svojega. Biæeš potukaè i bjegunac na zemlji.
13 “My punishment is more than I can take,” Cain replied.
A Kajin reèe Gospodu: krivica je moja velika da mi se ne može oprostiti.
14 “Look! You're driving me away right now—cursing the ground and banishing me from your presence. I'm going to have to hide and always be on the run, left to wander all over the earth. Anyone who finds me is going to kill me!”
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.
15 But the Lord replied, “No, Cain. Anyone who kills you will be punished seven times over.” The Lord placed a mark on Cain so that no one who came across him would kill him.
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.
16 So Cain left the Lord's presence and went to live in a land called Nod, east of Eden.
I otide Kajin ispred Gospoda, i naseli se u zemlji Naidskoj na istoku prema Edemu.
17 Cain slept with his wife and she became pregnant. She had a son named Enoch. At that time Cain was building a town, so he named it after his son Enoch.
I pozna Kajin ženu svoju, a ona zatrudnje i rodi Enoha. I sazida grad i prozva ga po imenu sina svojega Enoh.
18 Enoch had a son named Irad. Irad was the father of Mehujael, Mehujael was the father of Methushael, and Methushael was the father of Lamech.
A Enohu rodi se Gaidad; a Gaidad rodi Maleleila; a Maleleilo rodi Matusala; a Matusal rodi Lameha.
19 Lamech married two women. The first was named Adah, and the second was named Zillah.
I uze Lameh dvije žene: jednoj bješe ime Ada a drugoj Sela.
20 Adah had a son named Jabal. He was the father of those who live in tents and have livestock.
I Ada rodi Jovila; od njega se narodiše koji žive pod šatorima i stoku pasu.
21 He had a brother named Jubal; he was the father of all those who play stringed and wind instruments.
A bratu njegovu bješe ime Juval; od njega se narodiše gudaèi i sviraèi.
22 Zillah also had a son. He was named Tubal-cain and he was a blacksmith, making different kinds of tools out of bronze and iron. Tubal-cain's sister was named Naamah.
A i Sela rodi Tovela, koji bješe vješt kovati svašta od mjedi i od gvožða; a sestra Tovelu bješe Noema.
23 At one time Lamech told his wives, “Adah and Zillah, listen to me. You wives of Lamech, pay attention to what I have to say. I killed a man because he wounded me; I killed a young man because he injured me.
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.
24 If the sentence for killing Cain was to be punished seven times over, then if someone kills me, Lamech, the punishment should be seventy-seven times.”
Kad æe se Kajin osvetiti sedam puta, Lameh æe sedamdeset i sedam puta.
25 Adam slept with his wife again, and she had a son and named him Seth, explaining that, “God has given me another child to replace Abel, the one Cain killed.”
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.
26 Later Seth had a son named Enosh, because at that time people began to worship the Lord by name.
I Situ se rodi sin, kojemu nadjede ime Enos. Tada se poèe prizivati ime Gospodnje.
