Postanak 4
1 Čovjek pozna svoju ženu Evu, a ona zače i rodi Kajina, pa reče: “Muško sam čedo stekla pomoću Jahve!”
And the man knew his wife Eve, and she conceives and bears Cain, and says, “I have acquired a man by YHWH”;
2 Poslije rodi Abela, brata Kajinova; Abel postane stočar, a Kajin zemljoradnik.
and she adds to bear his brother, even Abel. And Abel is feeding a flock, and Cain has been servant of the ground.
3 I jednoga dana Kajin prinese Jahvi žrtvu od zemaljskih plodova.
And it comes to pass at the end of days that Cain brings from the fruit of the ground a present to YHWH;
4 A prinese i Abel od prvine svoje stoke, sve po izbor pretilinu. Jahve milostivo pogleda na Abela i njegovu žrtvu,
and Abel, he has brought, he also, from the female firstlings of his flock, and from their fat ones; and YHWH looks to Abel and to his present,
5 a na Kajina i žrtvu njegovu ni pogleda ne svrati. Stoga se Kajin veoma razljuti i lice mu se namrgodi.
and to Cain and to his present He has not looked; and it is very displeasing to Cain, and his countenance is fallen.
6 I Jahve reče Kajinu: “Zašto si ljut? Zašto ti je lice namrgođeno?
And YHWH says to Cain, “Why do you have displeasure? And why has your countenance fallen?
7 Jer ako pravo radiš, vedrinom odsijevaš. A ne radiš li pravo, grijeh ti je kao zvijer na pragu što na te vreba; još mu se možeš oduprijeti.”
Is there not, if you do well, acceptance? And if you do not do well, sin [[or a sin-offering]] is lying at the opening, and its [[or His]] desire [is] for you, and you rule over it [[or by Him]].”
8 Kajin pak reče svome bratu Abelu: “Hajdemo van!” I našavši se na polju, Kajin skoči na brata Abela te ga ubi.
And Cain says to his brother Abel, [[“Let us go into the field”; ]] and it comes to pass in their being in the field, that Cain rises up against his brother Abel, and slays him.
9 Potom Jahve zapita Kajina: “Gdje ti je brat Abel?” “Ne znam”, odgovori. “Zar sam ja čuvar brata svoga?”
And YHWH says to Cain, “Where [is] your brother Abel?” And he says, “I have not known; am I my brother’s keeper?”
10 Jahve nastavi: “Što si učinio? Slušaj! Krv brata tvoga iz zemlje k meni viče.
And He says, “What have you done? The voice of your brother’s blood is crying to Me from the ground;
11 Stoga budi proklet na zemlji koja je rastvorila usta da proguta s ruke tvoje krv brata tvoga!
and now, cursed [are] you from the ground, which has opened her mouth to receive the blood of your brother from your hand;
12 Obrađivat ćeš zemlju, ali ti više neće davati svoga roda. Vječni ćeš skitalica na zemlji biti!”
when you till the ground, it will not add to give its strength to you—a wanderer, even a trembling one, you are in the earth.”
13 A Kajin reče Jahvi: “Kazna je moja odviše teška da se snosi.
And Cain says to YHWH, “My punishment is too great than to bear;
14 Evo me tjeraš danas s plodnoga tla; moram se skrivati od tvoga lica i biti vječni lutalac na zemlji - tko me god nađe, može me ubiti.”
behold, You have driven me today from off the face of the ground, and from Your face I am hid; and I have been a wanderer, even a trembling one, in the earth, and it has been—everyone finding me will slay me.”
15 A Jahve mu reče: “Ne! Nego tko ubije Kajina, sedmerostruka osveta na njemu će se izvršiti!” I Jahve stavi znak na Kajina, da ga tko, našavši ga, ne ubije.
And YHWH says to him, “Therefore, of any slayer of Cain it is required sevenfold”; and YHWH sets to Cain a token that none finding him will slay him.
16 Kajin ode ispred lica Jahvina u zemlju Nod, istočno od Edena, i ondje se nastani.
And Cain goes out from before YHWH, and dwells in the land, moving about east of Eden;
17 Kajin pozna svoju ženu te ona zače i rodi Henoka. Podigao je grad i grad prozvao imenom svoga sina - Henok.
and Cain knows his wife, and she conceives, and bears Enoch; and he is building a city, and he calls the name of the city, according to the name of his son—Enoch.
18 Henoku se rodio Irad, a od Irada potekao Mehujael; od Mehujaela poteče Metušael, od Metušaela Lamek.
And born to Enoch is Irad; and Irad has begotten Mehujael; and Mehujael has begotten Methusael; and Methusael has begotten Lamech.
19 Lamek uzme dvije žene. Jedna se zvala Ada, a druga Sila.
And Lamech takes to himself two wives, the name of the first Adah, and the name of the second Zillah.
20 Ada rodi Jabala, koji je postao praocem onih što pod šatorima žive sa stokom.
And Adah bears Jabal, he has been father of those inhabiting tents and [having] purchased livestock;
21 Bratu mu bijaše ime Jubal. On je praotac svih koji sviraju na liru i sviralu.
and the name of his brother [is] Jubal, he has been father of everyone handling harp and pipe.
22 Sila rodi Tubal-Kajina, praoca onih koji kuju bakar i željezo. Tubal-Kajinovoj sestri bijaše ime Naama.
And Zillah, she also bears Tubal-Cain, an instructor of every craftsman in bronze and iron; and a sister of Tubal-Cain [is] Naamah.
23 Lamek prozbori svojim ženama: “Ada i Sila, glas moj poslušajte! Žene Lamekove, čujte mi besjedu: Čovjeka sam ubio jer me ranio i dijete jer me udarilo.
And Lamech says to his wives: “Adah and Zillah, hear my voice; Wives of Lamech, give ear [to] my saying: For I have slain a man for my wound, Even a young man for my hurt;
24 Ako će Kajin biti osvećen sedmerostruko, Lamek će sedamdeset i sedam puta!”
For sevenfold is required for Cain, And for Lamech seventy-sevenfold.”
25 Adam pozna svoju ženu te ona rodi sina i nadjenu mu ime Šet. Reče ona: “Bog mi dade drugo dijete mjesto Abela, koga ubi Kajin.”
And Adam again knows his wife, and she bears a son, and calls his name Seth, “for God has appointed for me another seed instead of Abel”: for Cain had slain him.
26 Šetu se rodi sin, komu on nadjenu ime Enoš. Tada se počelo zazivati ime Jahvino.
And to Seth, to him also a son has been born, and he calls his name Enos; then a beginning was made of preaching in the Name of YHWH.
