< Genesis 4 >

1 Now Adam had marital relations with his wife Eve, and she conceived, and gave birth to Cain, and said, "I have gotten a man from 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 Again she gave birth, to Cain's brother Abel. Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.
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 As time passed, it happened that Cain brought an offering to God from the fruit of the ground.
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 And Abel also brought some of the firstborn of his flock and of its fat. And God looked favorably on Abel and his offering,
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 but he did not look favorably on Cain and his offering. Cain was very angry, and the expression on his face 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 God said to Cain, "Why are you angry? Why has the expression of 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 do well, will it not be lifted up? If you do not do well, sin lies in wait at the door. It desires to control you, but you must rule over 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 Cain said to Abel, his brother, "Let's go into the field." It happened when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel, his brother, and killed him.
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 Then God said to Cain, "Where is Abel, your brother?" He said, "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 God said, "What have you done? The voice of your brother's blood cries out to me from the ground.
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 you are cursed because of the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother's blood from 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 From now on, when you till the ground, it won't yield its strength to you. You shall be a fugitive and a wanderer in the earth."
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 Cain said to God, "My punishment is greater than I can bear.
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 Look, you have driven me out this day from the surface of the ground. I will be hidden from your face, and I will be a fugitive and a wanderer in the earth. It will happen that whoever 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 The LORD said to him, "Not so. Whoever kills Cain vengeance will be taken on him sevenfold." The LORD appointed a sign for Cain, lest any finding him should strike him.
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 So Cain went out from the presence of God and lived in the land of Nod, east 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 Cain had marital relations with his wife, and she conceived and gave birth to Enoch. He built a city and called the name of the city after 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 To Enoch was born Irad, and Irad became the father of Mehaiiel, and Mehaiiel became the father of Methushael, and Methushael became the father of 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 the one was Adah, and the name of the other 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 Adah gave birth to Jabal, who was the father of those who dwell in tents and have livestock.
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 His brother's name was Jubal, who was the father of all who play the harp and flute.
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 gave birth to Tubal Cain, who heated metal and shaped instruments of bronze and iron. Tubal Cain's sister was Naamah.
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 Lamech said to his wives, "Adah and Zillah, hear my voice. You wives of Lamech, listen to my speech, for I have slain a man for wounding me, a young man for bruising me.
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 If Cain will be avenged seven times, truly 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 had marital relations with his wife again, and she gave birth to a son, and named him Seth, saying, "For God has appointed me another child instead of Abel, for Cain killed him."
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 And a son was also born to Seth, and he named him Enosh. This one began to call on the name of God.
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
