Genesis 4
1 Truly, Adam knew his wife Eve, who conceived and gave birth to Cain, saying, “I have obtained a man through God.”
Адам же позна Еву жену свою, и заченши роди Каина и рече: стяжах человека Богом.
2 And again she gave birth to his brother Abel. But Abel was a pastor of sheep, and Cain was a farmer.
И приложи родити брата его, Авеля. И бысть Авель пастырь овец, Каин же бе делаяй землю.
3 Then it happened, after many days, that Cain offered gifts to the Lord, from the fruits of the earth.
И бысть по днех, принесе Каин от плодов земли жертву Богу:
4 Abel likewise offered from the firstborn of his flock, and from their fat. And the Lord looked with favor on Abel and his gifts.
и Авель принесе и той от первородных овец своих и от туков их. И призре Бог на Авеля и на дары его:
5 Yet in truth, he did not look with favor on Cain and his gifts. And Cain was vehemently angry, and his countenance fell.
на Каина же и на жертвы его не внят. И опечалися Каин зело, и испаде лице его.
6 And the Lord said to him: “Why are you angry? And why is your face fallen?
И рече Господь Бог Каину: вскую прискорбен был еси? И вскую испаде лице твое?
7 If you behave well, will you not receive? But if you behave badly, will not sin at once be present at the door? And so its desire will be within you, and you will be dominated by it.”
Еда аще право принесл еси, право же не разделил еси, не согрешил ли еси? Умолкни: к тебе обращение его, и ты тем обладаеши.
8 And Cain said to his brother Abel, “Let us go outside.” And when they were in the field, Cain rose up against his brother Abel, and he put him to death.
И рече Каин ко Авелю брату своему: пойдем на поле. И бысть внегда быти им на поли, воста Каин на Авеля брата своего и уби его.
9 And the Lord said to Cain, “Where is your brother Abel?” And he responded: “I do not know. Am I my brother’s keeper?”
И рече Господь Бог ко Каину: где есть Авель брат твой? И рече: не вем: еда страж брату моему есмь аз?
10 And he said to him: “What have you done? The voice of your brother’s blood cries out to me from the land.
И рече Господь: что сотворил еси сие? Глас крове брата твоего вопиет ко Мне от земли:
11 Now, therefore, you will be cursed upon the land, which opened its mouth and received the blood of your brother at your hand.
и ныне проклят ты на земли, яже разверзе уста своя прияти кровь брата твоего от руки твоея:
12 When you work it, it will not give you its fruit; a vagrant and a fugitive shall you be upon the land.”
егда делаеши землю, и не приложит силы своея дати тебе: стеня и трясыйся будеши на земли.
13 And Cain said to the Lord: “My iniquity is too great to deserve kindness.
И рече Каин ко Господу Богу: вящшая вина моя, еже оставитися ми:
14 Behold, you have cast me out this day before the face of the earth, and from your face I will be hidden; and I will be a vagrant and a fugitive on the earth. Therefore, anyone who finds me will kill me.”
аще изгониши мя днесь от лица земли, и от лица Твоего скрыюся, и буду стеня и трясыйся на земли, и будет, всяк обретаяй мя убиет мя.
15 And the Lord said to him: “By no means will it be so; rather, whoever would kill Cain, will be punished sevenfold.” And the Lord placed a seal upon Cain, so that anyone who found him would not put him to death.
И рече ему Господь Бог: не тако: всяк убивый Каина седмижды отмстится. И положи Господь Бог знамение на Каине, еже не убити его всякому обретающему его.
16 And so Cain, departing from the face of the Lord, lived as a fugitive on the earth, toward the eastern region of Eden.
И изыде Каин от лица Божия и вселися в землю Наид, прямо Едему.
17 Then Cain knew his wife, and she conceived and gave birth to Enoch. And he built a city, and he called its name by the name of his son, Enoch.
И позна Каин жену свою, и заченши роди Еноха. И бе зиждяй град, и именова град во имя сына своего Енох.
18 Thereafter, Enoch conceived Irad, and Irad conceived Mahujael, and Mahujael conceived Mathusael, and Mathusael conceived Lamech.
Родися же Еноху Гаидад: и Гаидад роди Малелеила: и Малелеил роди Мафусала: Мафусал же роди Ламеха.
19 Lamech took two wives: the name of one was Adah, and the name of the other was Zillah.
И взя себе Ламех две жены: имя единей Ада и имя вторей Селла.
20 And Adah conceived Jabel, who was the father of those who live in tents and are shepherds.
И роди Ада Иовила: сей бяше отец живущих в селениих скотопитателей.
21 And the name of his brother was Jubal; he was the father of those who sing to the harp and the organ.
И имя брату его Иувал: сей бяше показавый певницу и гусли.
22 Zillah also conceived Tubalcain, who was a hammerer and artisan in every work of brass and iron. In fact, the sister of Tubalcain was Noema.
Селла же и тая роди Фовела: сей бяше млатобиец, ковачь меди и железа: сестра же Фовелова Ноема.
23 And Lamech said to his wives Adah and Zillah: “Listen to my voice, you wives of Lamech, pay attention to my speech. For I have killed a man to my own harm, and an adolescent to my own bruising.
Рече же Ламех своим женам: Ада и Селла, услышите глас мой, жены Ламеховы, внушите моя словеса: яко мужа убих в язву мне и юношу в струп мне:
24 Sevenfold vengeance will be given for Cain, but for Lamech, seventy-seven times.”
яко седмицею отмстися от Каина, от Ламеха же седмьдесят седмицею.
25 Adam also knew his wife again, and she gave birth to a son, and she called his name Seth, saying, “God has given me another offspring, in place of Abel, whom Cain killed.”
Позна же Адам Еву жену свою: и заченши роди сына, и именова имя ему Сиф, глаголющи: воскреси бо ми Бог семя другое, вместо Авеля, егоже уби Каин.
26 But to Seth also was born a son, whom he called Enos. This one began to invoke the name of the Lord.
И Сифу бысть сын: именова же имя ему Енос: сей упова призывати имя Господа Бога.
