Genesis 4
1 Afterward the man knew Heuah his wife, which conceiued and bare Kain, and said, I haue obteined a man by the Lord.
有一日，那人和他妻子夏娃同房，夏娃就懷孕，生了該隱，便說：「耶和華使我得了一個男子。」
2 And againe she brought foorth his brother Habel, and Habel was a keeper of sheepe, and Kain was a tiller of the ground.
又生了該隱的兄弟亞伯。亞伯是牧羊的；該隱是種地的。
3 And in processe of time it came to passe, that Kain brought an oblation vnto the Lord of the fruite of the ground.
有一日，該隱拿地裏的出產為供物獻給耶和華；
4 And Habel also him selfe brought of the first fruites of his sheepe, and of the fat of them, and the Lord had respect vnto Habel, and to his offering,
亞伯也將他羊群中頭生的和羊的脂油獻上。耶和華看中了亞伯和他的供物，
5 But vnto Kain and to his offering he had no regarde: wherefore Kain was exceeding wroth, and his countenance fell downe.
只是看不中該隱和他的供物。該隱就大大地發怒，變了臉色。
6 Then ye Lord said vnto Kain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance cast downe?
耶和華對該隱說：「你為甚麼發怒呢？你為甚麼變了臉色呢？
7 If thou do well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sinne lieth at the doore: also vnto thee his desire shalbe subiect, and thou shalt rule ouer him.
你若行得好，豈不蒙悅納？你若行得不好，罪就伏在門前。它必戀慕你，你卻要制伏它。」
8 Then Kain spake to Habel his brother. And when they were in the fielde, Kain rose vp against Habel his brother, and slewe him.
該隱與他兄弟亞伯說話；二人正在田間。該隱起來打他兄弟亞伯，把他殺了。
9 Then the Lord said vnto Kain, Where is Habel thy brother? Who answered, I cannot tell. Am I my brothers keeper?
耶和華對該隱說：「你兄弟亞伯在哪裏？」他說：「我不知道！我豈是看守我兄弟的嗎？」
10 Againe he said, What hast thou done? the voyce of thy brothers blood cryeth vnto me from the earth.
耶和華說：「你做了甚麼事呢？你兄弟的血有聲音從地裏向我哀告。
11 Now therefore thou art cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receiue thy brothers blood from thine hand.
地開了口，從你手裏接受你兄弟的血。現在你必從這地受咒詛。
12 When thou shalt till the grounde, it shall not henceforth yeelde vnto thee her strength: a vagabond and a runnagate shalt thou be in the earth.
你種地，地不再給你效力；你必流離飄蕩在地上。」
13 Then Kain said to the Lord, My punishment is greater, then I can beare.
該隱對耶和華說：「我的刑罰太重，過於我所能當的。
14 Behold, thou hast cast me out this day from the earth, and from thy face shall I be hid, and shalbe a vagabond, and a runnagate in the earth, and whosoeuer findeth me, shall slay me.
你如今趕逐我離開這地，以致不見你面；我必流離飄蕩在地上，凡遇見我的必殺我。」
15 Then the Lord said vnto him, Doubtlesse whosoeuer slayeth Kain, he shalbe punished seue folde. And the Lord set a marke vpon Kain, lest any man finding him should kill him.
耶和華對他說：「凡殺該隱的，必遭報七倍。」耶和華就給該隱立一個記號，免得人遇見他就殺他。
16 Then Kain went out from the presence of the Lord, and dwelt in the land of Nod towarde the Eastside of Eden.
於是該隱離開耶和華的面，去住在伊甸東邊挪得之地。
17 Kain also knewe his wife, which conceiued and bare Henoch: and he built a citie, and called the name of the citie by ye name of his sonne, Henoch.
該隱與妻子同房，他妻子就懷孕，生了以諾。該隱建造了一座城，就按着他兒子的名將那城叫做以諾。
18 And to Henoch was borne Irad, and Irad begate Mehuiael, and Mehuiael begate Methushael, and Methushael begate Lamech.
以諾生以拿；以拿生米戶雅利；米戶雅利生瑪土撒利；瑪土撒利生拉麥。
19 And Lamech tooke him two wiues: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah.
拉麥娶了兩個妻：一個名叫亞大，一個名叫洗拉。
20 And Adah bare Iabal, who was the father of such as dwell in the tents, and of such as haue cattell.
亞大生雅八；雅八就是住帳棚、牧養牲畜之人的祖師。
21 And his brothers name was Iubal, who was the father of all that play on the harpe and organes.
雅八的兄弟名叫猶八；他是一切彈琴吹簫之人的祖師。
22 And Zillah also bare Tubal-kain, who wrought cunningly euery craft of brasse and of yron: and the sister of Tubal-kain was Naamah.
洗拉又生了土八‧該隱；他是打造各樣銅鐵利器的。土八‧該隱的妹子是拿瑪。
23 Then Lamech saide vnto his wiues Adah and Zillah, Heare my voyce, ye wiues of Lamech: hearken vnto my speach: for I would slay a man in my wound, and a yong man in mine hurt.
拉麥對他兩個妻子說： 亞大、洗拉，聽我的聲音； 拉麥的妻子，細聽我的話語： 壯年人傷我，我把他殺了； 少年人損我，我把他害了 。
24 If Kain shalbe auenged seuen folde, truely Lamech, seuentie times seuen folde.
若殺該隱，遭報七倍， 殺拉麥，必遭報七十七倍。
25 And Adam knewe his wife againe, and she bare a sonne, and she called his name Sheth: for God, saide she, hath appointed me another seede for Habel, because Kain slewe him.
亞當又與妻子同房，她就生了一個兒子，起名叫塞特，意思說：「上帝另給我立了一個兒子代替亞伯，因為該隱殺了他。」
26 And to ye same Sheth also there was borne a sonne, and he called his name Enosh. Then beganne men to call vpon the name of the Lord.
塞特也生了一個兒子，起名叫以挪士。那時候，人才求告耶和華的名。
