< Genesis 4 >

1 And Man knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bore Cain, and said, I have acquired a man with Jehovah.
アダム其妻エバを知る彼孕みてカインを生みて言けるは我ヱホバによりて一個の人を得たりと
2 And she further bore his brother Abel. And Abel was a shepherd, but Cain was a husbandman.
彼また其弟アベルを生りアベルは羊を牧ふ者カインは土を耕す者なりき
3 And in process of time it came to pass that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering to Jehovah.
日を經て後カイン土より出る果を携來りてヱホバに供物となせり
4 And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock, and of their fat. And Jehovah looked upon Abel, and on his offering;
アベルもまた其羊の初生と其肥たる者を携來れりヱホバ、アベルと其供物を眷顧みたまひしかども
5 and upon Cain, and on his offering, he did not look. And Cain was very angry, and his countenance fell.
カインと其供物をば眷み給はざりしかばカイン甚だ怒り且其面をふせたり
6 And Jehovah said to Cain, Why art thou angry, and why is thy countenance fallen?
ヱホバ、カインに言たまひけるは汝何ぞ怒るや何ぞ面をふするや
7 If thou doest well, will not [thy countenance] look up [with confidence]? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door; and unto thee [shall be] his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.
汝若善を行はば擧ることをえざらんや若善を行はずば罪門戸に伏す彼は汝を慕ひ汝は彼を治めん
8 And Cain spoke to 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.
カイン其弟アベルに語りぬ彼等野にをりける時カイン其弟アベルに起かかりて之を殺せり
9 And Jehovah said to Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: am I my brother's keeper?
ヱホバ、カインに言たまひけるは汝の弟アベルは何處にをるや彼言ふ我しらず我あに我弟の守者ならんやと
10 And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood is crying to me from the ground.
ヱホバ言たまひけるは汝何をなしたるや汝の弟の血の聲地より我に叫べり
11 And now be thou cursed from the ground, which hath opened its mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand.
されば汝は詛れて此地を離るべし此地其口を啓きて汝の弟の血を汝の手より受たればなり
12 When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield thee its strength; a wanderer and fugitive shalt thou be on the earth.
汝地を耕すとも地は再其力を汝に效さじ汝は地に吟行ふ流離子となるべしと
13 And Cain said to Jehovah, My punishment is too great to be borne.
カイン、ヱホバに言けるは我が罪は大にして負ふこと能はず
14 Behold, thou hast driven me this day from the face of the ground, and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a wanderer and fugitive on the earth; and it will come to pass, [that] every one who finds me will slay me.
視よ汝今日斯地の面より我を逐出したまふ我汝の面を觀ることなきにいたらん我地に吟行ふ流離子とならん凡そ我に遇ふ者我を殺さん
15 And Jehovah said to him, Therefore, whoever slayeth Cain, it shall be revenged sevenfold. And Jehovah set a mark on Cain, lest any finding him should smite him.
ヱホバ彼に言たまひけるは然らず凡そカインを殺す者は七倍の罰を受んとヱホバ、カインに遇ふ者の彼を撃ざるため印誌を彼に與へたまへり
16 And Cain went out from the presence of Jehovah, and dwelt in the land of Nod, toward the east of Eden.
カイン、ヱホバの前を離て出でエデンの東なるノドの地に住り
17 And Cain knew his wife, and she conceived and bore Enoch. And he built a city; and he called the name of the city after the name of his son Enoch.
カイン其妻を知る彼孕みエノクを生りカイン邑を建て其邑の名を其子の名に循ひてエノクと名けたり
18 And to Enoch was born Irad; and Irad begot Mehujael; and Mehujael begot Methushael; and Methushael begot Lemech.
エノクにイラデ生れたりイラデ、メホヤエルを生みメホヤエル、メトサエルを生みメトサエル、レメクを生り
19 And Lemech took two wives: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the second, Zillah.
レメク二人の妻を娶れり一の名はアダと曰ひ一の名はチラと曰り
20 And Adah bore Jabal: he was the father of those who dwell in tents, and [breed] cattle.
アダ、ヤバルを生めり彼は天幕に住て家畜を牧ふ所の者の先祖なり
21 And his brother's name was Jubal: he was the father of those who handle the harp and pipe.
其弟の名はユバルと云ふ彼は琴と笛とをとる凡ての者の先祖なり
22 And Zillah, she also bore Tubal-Cain, the forger of every kind of tool of brass and iron. And the sister of Tubal-Cain was Naamah.
又チラ、トバルカインを生り彼は銅と鐡の諸の刃物を鍛ふ者なりトバルカインの妹をナアマといふ
23 And Lemech said to his wives: Adah and Zillah, hear my voice, Ye wives of Lemech, listen to my speech. For I have slain a man for my wound, and a youth for my bruise.
レメク其妻等に言けるはアダとチラよ我聲を聽けレメクの妻等よわが言を容よ我わが創傷のために人を殺すわが痍のために少年を殺す
24 If Cain shall be avenged seven-fold; Lemech seventy and seven fold.
カインのために七倍の罰あればレメクのためには七十七倍の罰あらん
25 And Adam knew his wife again, and she bore a son, and called his name Seth: ...For God has appointed me another seed instead of Abel, because Cain has slain him.
アダム復其妻を知て彼男子を生み其名をセツと名けたり其は彼神我にカインの殺したるアベルのかはりに他の子を與へたまへりといひたればなり
26 And to Seth, to him also was born a son; and he called his name Enosh. Then people began to call on the name of Jehovah.
セツにもまた男子生れたりかれ其名をエノスと名けたり此時人々ヱホバの名を呼ことをはじめたり
