Genesis 4
1 And Adam knew Eve his wife, and she conceived and brought forth Cain and said, I have gained a man through God.
Adam je spoznal svojo ženo Evo in ta je spočela ter rodila Kajna in rekla: »Dobila sem človeka od Gospoda.«
2 And she again bore his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.
In ponovno je rodila njegovega brata Abela. In Abel je bil čuvaj ovc, toda Kajn je bil orač tal.
3 And it was so after some time that Cain brought of the fruits of the earth a sacrifice to the Lord.
Tekom časa se je pripetilo, da je Kajn od sadu tal prinesel daritev Gospodu.
4 And Abel also brought of the first born of his sheep and of his fatlings, and God looked upon Abel and his gifts,
In tudi Abel je prinesel prvence od svojega tropa in od njihove tolšče. In Gospod je imel spoštovanje do Abela in njegove daritve,
5 but Cain and his sacrifices he regarded not, and Cain was exceedingly sorrowful and his countenance fell.
toda do Kajna in njegove daritve [pa] ni imel spoštovanja. In Kajn je bil zelo ogorčen in njegovo obličje je upadlo.
6 And the Lord God said to Cain, Why are you become very sorrowful and why is your countenance fallen?
Gospod je rekel Kajnu: »Zakaj si ogorčen? In zakaj je tvoje obličje upadlo?
7 Hast you not sinned if you have brought it rightly, but not rightly divided it? be still, to you shall be his submission, and you shall rule over him.
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.«
8 And Cain said to Abel his brother, Let us go out into the plain; and it came to pass that when they were in the plain Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and killed him.
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.
9 And the Lord God said to Cain, Where is Abel your brother? and he said, I know not, am I my brother's keeper?
Gospod je rekel Kajnu: »Kje je tvoj brat, Abel?« On pa je rekel: »Ne vem. Sem mar jaz čuvaj svojega brata?«
10 And the Lord said, What have you done? the voice of your brother's blood cries to me out of the ground.
Rekel je: »Kaj si storil? Glas krvi tvojega brata iz tal vpije k meni.
11 And now you [are] cursed from the earth which has opened her mouth to receive your brother's blood from your hand.
Sedaj si preklet pred zemljo, ki je odprla svoja usta, da iz tvoje roke sprejme kri tvojega brata.
12 When you till the earth, then it shall not continue to give its strength to you: you shall be groaning and trembling on the earth.
Ko boš oral tla, ti odslej ne bodo obrodila svoje moči; na zemlji boš ubežnik in potepuh.«
13 And Cain said to the Lord God, My crime [is] too great for me to be forgiven.
Kajn je Gospodu rekel: »Moja kazen je večja, kakor jo lahko prenesem.
14 If you cast me out this day from the face of the earth, and I shall be hidden from your presence, and I shall be groaning and trembling upon the earth, then it will be that any one that finds me shall kill me.
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.«
15 And the Lord God said to him, Not so, any one that slays Cain shall suffer sevenfold vengeance; and the Lord God set a mark upon Cain that no one that found him might kill him.
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.
16 So Cain went forth from the presence of God and lived in the land of Nod over against Edem.
Kajn je odšel izpred Gospodove prisotnosti in prebival v deželi Nod, vzhodno od Edena.
17 And Cain knew his wife, and having conceived she bore Enoch; and he built a city; and he named the city after the name of his son, Enoch.
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.
18 And to Enoch was born Gaidad; and Gaidad begot Maleleel; and Maleleel begot Mathusala; and Mathusala begot Lamech.
Henohu se je rodil Irád, in Irád je zaplodil Mehujaéla, in Mehujaél je zaplodil Metušaéla, in Metušaél je zaplodil Lameha.
19 And Lamech took to himself two wives; the name of the one was Ada, and the name of the second Sella.
Lameh si je vzel dve ženi: ime prve je bilo Ada, ime druge pa Cila.
20 And Ada bore Jobel; he was the father of those that dwell in tents, feeding cattle.
Ada je rodila Jabála; ta je bil oče teh, ki prebivajo v šotorih in teh, ki imajo živino.
21 And the name of his brother was Jubal; he it was who invented the lute and harp.
Ime njegovega brata je bilo Jubál; bil je oče vseh teh, ki prijemajo harfo in piščal.
22 And Sella also bore Thobel; he was a smith, a manufacturer both of brass and iron; and the sister of Thobel was Noema.
Cila pa je rodila tudi Tubál Kajina, učitelja vsakega rokodelca z bronom in železom, in Tubál Kajinova sestra je bila Naáma.
23 And Lamech said to his wives, Ada and Sella, Hear my voice, you wives of Lamech, consider my words, because I have slain a man to my sorrow and a youth to my grief.
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.
24 Because vengeance has been exacted seven times on Cain's behalf, on Lamech's [it shall be] seventy times seven.
Če bo Kajn sedemkrat maščevan, resnično, Lameh [pa] sedeminsedemdesetkrat.«
25 And Adam knew Eve his wife, and she conceived and bore a son, and called his name Seth, saying, For God has raised up to me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain killed.
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.«
26 And Seth had a son, and he called his name Enos: he hoped to call on the name of the Lord God.
In Setu, tudi njemu se je rodil sin, in njegovo ime je imenoval Enóš. Potem so ljudje začeli klicati Gospodovo ime.
