Genesis 4
1 Now Adam had marital relations with his wife Havah, and she conceived, and gave birth to Cain, and said, "I have gotten a man from God."
| وَعَاشَرَ آدَمُ حَوَّاءَ زَوْجَتَهُ فَحَبِلَتْ، وَوَلَدَتْ ابْناً أَسْمَتْهُ قَايِينَ إِذْ قَالَتْ: «اقْتَنَيْتُ رَجُلاً مِنْ عِنْدِ الرَّبِّ». | ١ |
2 Again she gave birth, to Cain's brother Hevel. Hevel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.
| ثُمَّ عَادَتْ فَوَلَدَتْ أَخَاهُ هَابِيلَ، وَكَانَ هَابِيلُ رَاعِياً لِلْغَنَمِ. أَمَّا قَايِينُ فَقَدْ عَمِلَ فِي فَلاَحَةِ الأَرْضِ. | ٢ |
3 As time passed, it happened that Cain brought an offering to God from the fruit of the ground.
| وَحَدَثَ بَعْدَ مُرُورِ أَيَّامٍ أَنْ قَدَّمَ قَايِينُ مِنْ ثِمَارِ الأَرْضِ قُرْبَاناً لِلرَّبِّ، | ٣ |
4 And Hevel also brought some of the firstborn of his flock and of its fat. And God looked favorably on Hevel and his offering,
| وَقَدَّمَ هَابِيلُ أَيْضاً مِنْ خَيْرَةِ أَبْكَارِ غَنَمِهِ وَأَسْمَنِهَا. فَتَقَبَّلَ الرَّبُّ قُرْبَانَ هَابِيلَ وَرَضِيَ عَنْهُ. | ٤ |
5 but he did not look favorably on Cain and his offering. Cain was very angry, and the expression on his face fell.
| لَكِنَّهُ لَمْ يَتَقَبَّلْ قُرْبَانَ قَايِينَ وَلَمْ يَرْضَ عَنْهُ. فَاغْتَاظَ قَايِينُ جِدّاً وَتَجَهَّمَ وَجْهُهُ كَمَداً. | ٥ |
6 God said to Cain, "Why are you angry? Why has the expression of your face fallen?
| فَسَأَلَ الرَّبُّ قَايِينَ: «لِمَاذَا اغْتَظْتَ؟ لِمَاذَا تَجَهَّمَ وَجْهُكَ؟ | ٦ |
7 If you do well, will it not be lifted up? If you do not do well, sin lies in wait at the door. It desires to control you, but you must rule over it."
| لَوْ أَحْسَنْتَ فِي تَصَرُّفِكَ أَلاَ يُشْرِقُ وَجْهُكَ فَرَحاً؟ وَإِنْ لَمْ تُحْسِنِ التَّصَرُّفَ، فَعِنْدَ الْبَابِ خَطِيئَةٌ تَنْتَظِرُكَ، تَتَشَوَّقُ أَنْ تَتَسَلَّطَ عَلَيْكَ، لَكِنْ يَجِبُ أَنْ تَتَحَكَّمَ فِيهَا» | ٧ |
8 Cain said to Hevel, his brother, "Let's go into the field." It happened when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Hevel, his brother, and killed him.
| وَعَادَ قَايِينُ يَتَظَاهَرُ بِالْوُدِّ لأَخِيهِ هَابِيلَ. وَحَدَثَ إِذْ كَانَا مَعاً فِي الْحَقْلِ أَنَّ قَايِينَ هَجَمَ عَلَى أَخِيهِ هَابِيلَ وَقَتَلَهُ. | ٨ |
9 Then God said to Cain, "Where is Hevel, your brother?" He said, "I do not know. Am I my brother's keeper?"
| وَسَأَلَ الرَّبُّ قَايِينَ: «أَيْنَ أَخُوكَ هَابِيلُ؟» فَأَجَابَ: «لاَ أَعْرِفُ. هَلْ أَنَا حَارِسٌ لأَخِي؟» | ٩ |
10 And God said, "What have you done? The voice of your brother's blood cries out to me from the ground.
| فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لَهُ: «مَاذَا فَعَلْتَ؟ إِنَّ صَوْتَ دَمِ أَخِيكَ يَصْرُخُ إِلَيَّ مِنَ الأَرْضِ. | ١٠ |
11 Now you are cursed because of the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother's blood from your hand.
| فَمُنْذُ الآنَ، تَحِلُّ عَلَيْكَ لَعْنَةُ الأَرْضِ الَّتِي فَتَحَتْ فَاهَا وَابْتَلَعَتْ دَمَ أَخِيكَ الَّذِي سَفَكَتْهُ يَدُكَ. | ١١ |
12 From now on, when you till the ground, it won't yield its strength to you. You shall be a fugitive and a wanderer in the earth."
| عِنْدَمَا تَفْلَحُهَا لَنْ تُعْطِيَكَ خَيْرَهَا، وَتَكُونُ شَرِيداً وَطَرِيداً فِي الأَرْضِ». | ١٢ |
13 Cain said to God, "My punishment is greater than I can bear.
| فَقَالَ قَايِينُ لِلرَّبِّ: «عُقُوبَتِي أَعْظَمُ مِنْ أَنْ تُحْتَمَلَ. | ١٣ |
14 Look, you have driven me out this day from the surface of the ground. I will be hidden from your face, and I will be a fugitive and a wanderer in the earth. It will happen that whoever finds me will kill me."
| هَا أَنْتَ الْيَوْمَ قَدْ طَرَدْتَنِي عَنْ وَجْهِ الأَرْضِ، وَمِنْ أَمَامِ حَضْرَتِكَ أَخْتَفِي، وَأَكُونُ شَرِيداً طَرِيداً فِي الأَرْضِ، وَيَقْتُلُنِي كُلُّ مَنْ يَجِدُنِي». | ١٤ |
15 The LORD said to him, "Not so. Whoever kills Cain vengeance will be taken on him sevenfold." The LORD appointed a sign for Cain, lest any finding him should strike him.
| فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لَهُ: «سَأُعَاقِبُ كُلَّ مَنْ يَقْتُلُكَ بِسَبْعَةِ أَضْعَافِ الْعُقُوبَةِ الَّتِي عَاقَبْتُكَ بِهَا». وَوَسَمَ الرَّبُّ قَايِينَ بِعَلاَمَةٍ تَحْظُرُ عَلَى مَنْ يَلْقَاهُ اغْتِيَالَهُ. | ١٥ |
16 So Cain went out from the presence of God and lived in the land of Nod, east of Eden.
| وَهَكَذَا خَرَجَ قَايِينُ مِنْ حَضْرَةِ الرَّبِّ وَسَكَنَ فِي أَرْضِ نُودٍ شَرْقِيَّ عَدْنٍ. | ١٦ |
17 Cain had marital relations with his wife, and she conceived and gave birth to Hanokh. He built a city and called the name of the city after the name of his son, Hanokh.
| وَعَاشَرَ قَايِينُ زَوْجَتَهُ فَحَبِلَتْ وَأَنْجَبَتِ ابْناً دَعَاهُ «حَنُوكَ». وَكَانَ قَايِينُ آنَئِذٍ يَبْنِي مَدِينَةً فَسَمَّاهَا «حَنُوكَ» عَلَى اسْمِ ابْنِهِ. | ١٧ |
18 To Hanokh was born Irad, and Irad became the father of Mehaiel, and Mehaiel became the father of Methushael, and Methushael became the father of Lamech.
| ثُمَّ وَلَدَ حَنُوكُ عِيرَادَ، وَوَلَدَ عِيرَادُ مَحُويَائِيلَ، وَوَلَدَ مَحُويَائِيلُ مَتُوشَائِيلَ، وَوَلَدَ مَتُوشَائِيلُ لاَمَكَ. | ١٨ |
19 Lamech took two wives: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah.
| وَتَزَوَّجَ لاَمَكُ امْرَأَتَيْنِ: اسْمُ الْوَاحِدَةِ عَادَةُ، وَاسْمُ الأُخْرَى صِلَّةُ. | ١٩ |
20 Adah gave birth to Jabal, who was the father of those who dwell in tents and have livestock.
| وَوَلَدَتْ عَادَةُ كُلًّا مِنْ «يَابَالَ» أَوَّلِ رُعَاةِ الْمَوَاشِي وَسَاكِنِي الْخِيَامِ. | ٢٠ |
21 His brother's name was Jubal, who was the father of all who play the harp and flute.
| وَأَخِيهِ يُوبَالَ أَوَّلِ الْعَازِفِينَ بِالْعُودِ وَالْمِزْمَارِ. | ٢١ |
22 Zillah also gave birth to Tubal Cain, who heated metal and shaped instruments of bronze and iron. Tubal Cain's sister was Naamah.
| وَوَلَدَتْ صِلَّةُ «تُوبَالَ قَايِينَ» أَوَّلَ صَانِعِي آلاَتِ النُّحَاسِ وَالْحَدِيدِ. كَمَا وَلَدَتْ «نَعْمَةَ» أُخْتَ تُوبَالَ قَايِينَ. | ٢٢ |
23 Lamech said to his wives, "Adah and Zillah, hear my voice. You wives of Lamech, listen to my speech, for I have slain a man for wounding me, a young man for bruising me.
| وَقَالَ لاَمَكُ لِزَوْجَتَيْهِ: «يَاعَادَةُ وَصِلَّةُ، اسْمَعَا قَوْلِي، يَازَوْجَتَيْ لاَمَكَ أَصْغِيَا لِكَلاَمِي: إِنِّي قَتَلْتُ رَجُلاً جَرَحَنِي وَشَابّاً كَسَرَنِي. | ٢٣ |
24 If Cain will be avenged seven times, truly Lamech seventy-seven times."
| فَإِنْ كَانَ يُنْتَقَمُ لِقَايِينَ سَبْعَةَ أَضْعَافٍ، فَإِنَّهُ يُنْتَقَمُ لِلاَمَكَ سَبْعَةً وَسَبْعِينَ ضِعْفاً». | ٢٤ |
25 Adam had marital relations with his wife again, and she gave birth to a son, and named him Seth, saying, "For God has appointed me another child instead of Hevel, for Cain killed him."
| وَعَاشَرَ آدَمُ زَوْجَتَهُ حَوَّاءَ مَرَّةً أُخْرَى فَأَنْجَبَتْ لَهُ ابْناً أَسْمَتْهُ «شِيثاً» إِذْ قَالَتْ: «قَدْ عَوَّضَنِي اللهُ نَسْلاً آخَرَ عِوَضاً عَنْ هَابِيلَ الَّذِي قَتَلَهُ قَايِينُ». | ٢٥ |
26 And a son was also born to Seth, and he named him Enosh. This one began to call on the name of God.
| وَوُلِدَ لِشِيثٍ أَيْضاً ابْنٌ سَمَّاهُ أَنُوشَ وَعَنْدَئِذٍ ابْتَدَأَ النَّاسُ يَدْعُونَ بِاسْمِ الرَّبِّ. | ٢٦ |
