Postanak 4
1 Iza toga Adam pozna Jevu ženu svoju, a ona zatrudnje i rodi Kajina, i reèe: dobih èovjeka od Gospoda.
And the man knew Eve his wife, and she conceiveth and beareth Cain, and saith, 'I have gotten a man by Jehovah;'
2 I rodi opet brata njegova Avelja. I Avelj posta pastir a Kajin ratar.
and she addeth to bear his brother, even Abel. And Abel is feeding a flock, and Cain hath been servant of the ground.
3 A poslije nekoga vremena dogodi se, te Kajin prinese Gospodu prinos od roda zemaljskoga;
And it cometh to pass at the end of days that Cain bringeth from the fruit of the ground a present to Jehovah;
4 A i Avelj prinese od prvina stada svojega i od njihove pretiline. I Gospod pogleda na Avelja i na njegov prinos,
and Abel, he hath brought, he also, from the female firstlings of his flock, even from their fat ones; and Jehovah looketh unto Abel and unto his present,
5 A na Kajina i na njegov prinos ne pogleda. Zato se Kajin rasrdi veoma, i lice mu se promijeni.
and unto Cain and unto his present He hath not looked; and it is very displeasing to Cain, and his countenance is fallen.
6 Tada reèe Gospod Kajinu: što se srdiš? što li ti se lice promijeni?
And Jehovah saith unto Cain, 'Why hast thou displeasure? and why hath thy countenance fallen?
7 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.
Is there not, if thou dost well, acceptance? and if thou dost not well, at the opening a sin-offering is crouching, and unto thee its desire, and thou rulest over it.'
8 Poslije govoraše Kajin s Aveljem bratom svojim. Ali kad bijahu u polju, skoèi Kajin na Avelja brata svojega, i ubi ga.
And Cain saith unto Abel his brother, ['Let us go into the field;'] and it cometh to pass in their being in the field, that Cain riseth up against Abel his brother, and slayeth him.
9 Tada reèe Gospod Kajinu: gdje ti je brat Avelj? A on odgovori: ne znam; zar sam ja èuvar brata svojega?
And Jehovah saith unto Cain, 'Where [is] Abel thy brother?' and he saith, 'I have not known; my brother's keeper — I?'
10 A Bog reèe: šta uèini! glas krvi brata tvojega vièe sa zemlje k meni.
And He saith, 'What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood is crying unto Me from the ground;
11 I sada, da si proklet na zemlji, koja je otvorila usta svoja da primi krv brata tvojega iz ruke tvoje.
and now, cursed [art] thou from the ground, which hath opened her mouth to receive the blood of thy brother from thy hand;
12 Kad zemlju uzradiš, neæe ti više davati blaga svojega. Biæeš potukaè i bjegunac na zemlji.
when thou tillest the ground, it doth not add to give its strength to thee — a wanderer, even a trembling one, thou art in the earth.'
13 A Kajin reèe Gospodu: krivica je moja velika da mi se ne može oprostiti.
And Cain saith unto Jehovah, 'Greater is my punishment than to be borne;
14 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.
lo, Thou hast driven me to-day from off the face of the ground, and from Thy face I am hid; and I have been a wanderer, even a trembling one, in the earth, and it hath been — every one finding me doth slay me.'
15 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.
And Jehovah saith to him, 'Therefore — of any slayer of Cain sevenfold it is required;' and Jehovah setteth to Cain a token that none finding him doth slay him.
16 I otide Kajin ispred Gospoda, i naseli se u zemlji Naidskoj na istoku prema Edemu.
And Cain goeth out from before Jehovah, and dwelleth in the land, moving about east of Eden;
17 I pozna Kajin ženu svoju, a ona zatrudnje i rodi Enoha. I sazida grad i prozva ga po imenu sina svojega Enoh.
and Cain knoweth his wife, and she conceiveth, and beareth Enoch; and he is building a city, and he calleth the name of the city, according to the name of his son — Enoch.
18 A Enohu rodi se Gaidad; a Gaidad rodi Maleleila; a Maleleilo rodi Matusala; a Matusal rodi Lameha.
And born to Enoch is Irad; and Irad hath begotten Mehujael; and Mehujael hath begotten Methusael; and Methusael hath begotten Lamech.
19 I uze Lameh dvije žene: jednoj bješe ime Ada a drugoj Sela.
And Lamech taketh to himself two wives, the name of the one Adah, and the name of the second Zillah.
20 I Ada rodi Jovila; od njega se narodiše koji žive pod šatorima i stoku pasu.
And Adah beareth Jabal, he hath been father of those inhabiting tents and purchased possessions;
21 A bratu njegovu bješe ime Juval; od njega se narodiše gudaèi i sviraèi.
and the name of his brother [is] Jubal, he hath been father of every one handling harp and organ.
22 A i Sela rodi Tovela, koji bješe vješt kovati svašta od mjedi i od gvožða; a sestra Tovelu bješe Noema.
And Zillah she also bare Tubal-Cain, an instructor of every artificer in brass and iron; and a sister of Tubal-Cain [is] Naamah.
23 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.
And Lamech saith to his wives: — 'Adah and Zillah, hear my voice; Wives of Lamech, give ear [to] my saying: For a man I have slain for my wound, Even a young man for my hurt;
24 Kad æe se Kajin osvetiti sedam puta, Lameh æe sedamdeset i sedam puta.
For sevenfold is required for Cain, And for Lamech seventy and sevenfold.'
25 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.
And Adam again knoweth his wife, and she beareth a son, and calleth his name Seth, 'for God hath appointed for me another seed instead of Abel:' for Cain had slain him.
26 I Situ se rodi sin, kojemu nadjede ime Enos. Tada se poèe prizivati ime Gospodnje.
And to Seth, to him also a son hath been born, and he calleth his name Enos; then a beginning was made of preaching in the name of Jehovah.
