1 Mojzes 4
1 Adam je spoznal svojo ženo Evo in ta je spočela ter rodila Kajna in rekla: »Dobila sem človeka od Gospoda.«
And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bore Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD.
2 In ponovno je rodila njegovega brata Abela. In Abel je bil čuvaj ovc, toda Kajn je bil orač tal.
And she again bore his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.
3 Tekom časa se je pripetilo, da je Kajn od sadu tal prinesel daritev Gospodu.
And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering to the LORD.
4 In tudi Abel je prinesel prvence od svojega tropa in od njihove tolšče. In Gospod je imel spoštovanje do Abela in njegove daritve,
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:
5 toda do Kajna in njegove daritve [pa] ni imel spoštovanja. In Kajn je bil zelo ogorčen in njegovo obličje je upadlo.
But to Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very angry, and his countenance fell.
6 Gospod je rekel Kajnu: »Zakaj si ogorčen? In zakaj je tvoje obličje upadlo?
And the LORD said to Cain, Why art thou angry? and why is thy countenance fallen?
7 Če delaš dobro ali ne boš sprejet? Če pa ne delaš dobro, greh leži pri vratih. Njegovo poželenje naj bo k tebi, ti pa boš vladal nad njim.«
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.
8 Kajn je govoril s svojim bratom Abelom, in ko sta bila na polju, se je pripetilo, da se je Kajn dvignil zoper svojega brata Abela in ga ubil.
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.
9 Gospod je rekel Kajnu: »Kje je tvoj brat, Abel?« On pa je rekel: »Ne vem. Sem mar jaz čuvaj svojega brata?«
And the LORD said to Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother’s keeper?
10 Rekel je: »Kaj si storil? Glas krvi tvojega brata iz tal vpije k meni.
And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother’s blood crieth to me from the ground.
11 Sedaj si preklet pred zemljo, ki je odprla svoja usta, da iz tvoje roke sprejme kri tvojega brata.
And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother’s blood from thy hand;
12 Ko boš oral tla, ti odslej ne bodo obrodila svoje moči; na zemlji boš ubežnik in potepuh.«
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.
13 Kajn je Gospodu rekel: »Moja kazen je večja, kakor jo lahko prenesem.
And Cain said to the LORD, My punishment is greater than I can bear.
14 Glej, danes si me napodil izpred obličja zemlje, in skrit bom pred tvojim obličjem, in na zemlji bom ubežnik ter potepuh; in zgodilo se bo, da me bo ubil vsak, kdor me najde.«
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.
15 Gospod mu je rekel: »Zatorej kdorkoli ubije Kajna, bo nanj nadeto sedemkratno maščevanje.« In Gospod je na Kajna namestil znamenje, da kdorkoli ga najde, ga ne bi ubil.
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.
16 Kajn je odšel izpred Gospodove prisotnosti in prebival v deželi Nod, vzhodno od Edena.
And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.
17 Kajn je spoznal svojo ženo in ta je spočela ter rodila Henoha. Ta je zgradil mesto in ime mesta imenoval Henoh, po imenu svojega sina.
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.
18 Henohu se je rodil Irád, in Irád je zaplodil Mehujaéla, in Mehujaél je zaplodil Metušaéla, in Metušaél je zaplodil Lameha.
And to Enoch was born Irad: and Irad begat Mehujael: and Mehujael begat Methusael: and Methusael begat Lamech.
19 Lameh si je vzel dve ženi: ime prve je bilo Ada, ime druge pa Cila.
And Lamech took to him two wives: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah.
20 Ada je rodila Jabála; ta je bil oče teh, ki prebivajo v šotorih in teh, ki imajo živino.
And Adah bore Jabal: he was the father of such as dwell in tents, and of such as have cattle.
21 Ime njegovega brata je bilo Jubál; bil je oče vseh teh, ki prijemajo harfo in piščal.
And his brother’s name was Jubal: he was the father of all such as handle the harp and flute.
22 Cila pa je rodila tudi Tubál Kajina, učitelja vsakega rokodelca z bronom in železom, in Tubál Kajinova sestra je bila Naáma.
And Zillah, she also bore Tubalcain, an instructor of every craftsman in brass and iron: and the sister of Tubalcain was Naamah.
23 Lameh je rekel svojima ženama, Adi in Cili: »Poslušajta moj glas, vidve, Lamehovi ženi, prisluhnita mojemu govoru, kajti umoril sem človeka, ki mi prizadeva rane in mladeniča, za mojo rano.
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.
24 Če bo Kajn sedemkrat maščevan, resnično, Lameh [pa] sedeminsedemdesetkrat.«
If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, truly Lamech seventy and sevenfold.
25 Adam je spet spoznal svojo ženo in rodila je sina in njegovo ime je imenovala Set. »Kajti Bog, « je rekla, »mi je določil drugega potomca namesto Abela, ki ga je ubil Kajn.«
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.
26 In Setu, tudi njemu se je rodil sin, in njegovo ime je imenoval Enóš. Potem so ljudje začeli klicati Gospodovo ime.
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.
