Genesis 4
1 Adam (had sex/slept) with his wife Eve, and she became pregnant and gave birth to a son whom she named Cain, [which sounds like the word that means ‘produce’], because, she said, “By Yahweh’s help I have produced a son.” Some time later she gave birth to another son, and she named him Abel.
Ja mies yhtyi vaimoonsa Eevaan; ja tämä tuli raskaaksi ja synnytti Kainin ja sanoi: "Minä olen saanut pojan Herran avulla".
2 [After those boys grew up], Abel (tended/took care of) sheep and goats, and Cain became a farmer.
Ja taas hän synnytti pojan, veljen Kainille, Aabelin. Ja Aabelista tuli lampuri, mutta Kainista peltomies.
3 One day Cain harvested some of the crops he had grown and brought them to Yahweh as a gift for him,
Ja jonkun ajan kuluttua tapahtui, että Kain toi maan hedelmistä uhrilahjan Herralle;
4 and Abel took from his flock some of the first lambs that had been born [and killed them] and, as a gift, gave to Yahweh the fatty parts, [which were the best parts]. Yahweh was pleased with Abel and his offering,
ja myöskin Aabel toi uhrilahjan laumansa esikoisista, niiden rasvoista. Ja Herra katsoi Aabelin ja hänen uhrilahjansa puoleen;
5 but he was not pleased with Cain and his offering. So Cain became very angry, and his face looked dejected.
mutta Kainin ja hänen uhrilahjansa puoleen hän ei katsonut. Silloin Kain vihastui kovin, ja hänen hahmonsa synkistyi.
6 Yahweh said to Cain, “(You should not be angry!/Why are you angry?) [RHQ] (You should not scowl like that!/Why do you scowl like that?) [RHQ]
Ja Herra sanoi Kainille: "Miksi olet vihastunut, ja miksi hahmosi synkistyy?
7 If you had done what was right (OR, if you do what is right) [RHQ], I would accept your offering. But if you do not do what is right, [your desire to] sin [is ready to attack you like a wild animal that] [PRS] crouches outside the doorway, [ready to spring on its victim] [MET]. [Your desire to] sin wants to control you, but you must (control/not obey) it.”
Eikö niin: jos teet hyvin, voit kohottaa katseesi; mutta jos et hyvin tee, niin väijyy synti ovella, ja sen halu on sinuun, mutta hallitse sinä sitä!"
8 But one day, Cain said to his younger brother Abel, “Let’s go for a walk in the fields.” [So they went together]. And when they were in the countryside, suddenly Cain attacked Abel and killed him.
Ja Kain sanoi veljellensä Aabelille: "Menkäämme kedolle". Ja heidän kedolla ollessansa Kain karkasi veljensä Aabelin kimppuun ja tappoi hänet.
9 [Later, even though] Yahweh [knew what Cain had done], he said to Cain, “[Do you know] where Abel, your younger brother, is?” Cain replied, “No, I do not know. (My job is not to guard my younger brother!/Am I supposed to take care of my younger brother?)” [RHQ]
Niin Herra sanoi Kainille: "Missä on veljesi Aabel?" Hän vastasi: "En tiedä; olenko minä veljeni vartija?"
10 Yahweh said, “You have done a terrible thing [RHQ]! So now [it is as though] your younger brother’s voice is crying to me from the ground, demanding that his death must be avenged.
Ja hän sanoi: "Mitä olet tehnyt? Kuule, veljesi veri huutaa minulle maasta.
11 You have killed your younger brother, and the ground has soaked up his blood. So now I will expel you from this land and curse your efforts to produce crops.
Ja nyt ole kirottu ja karkoitettu pois tältä vainiolta, joka avasi suunsa ottamaan veljesi veren sinun kädestäsi.
12 You will till the ground to plant crops, but the ground will produce very few [HYP] crops. And you will continually wander around the earth, and not have any place to live permanently.”
Kun maata viljelet, ei se ole enää sinulle satoansa antava; kulkija ja pakolainen pitää sinun oleman maan päällä."
13 Cain replied, “You are punishing me more then I can endure.
Ja Kain sanoi Herralle: "Syyllisyyteni on suurempi, kuin että sen kantaa voisin.
14 You are about to expel me from the ground [that I have been cultivating], and I will no longer be able to come (into your presence/and talk with you). Furthermore, I will be continually wandering around the earth with no place to live permanently, and anyone who sees me will kill me.”
Katso, sinä karkoitat minut nyt pois vainiolta, ja minun täytyy lymytä sinun kasvojesi edestä ja olla kulkija ja pakolainen maan päällä; ja kuka ikinä minut kohtaa, se tappaa minut."
15 But Yahweh said to him, “No, that will not happen. I will put a mark on you to warn anyone who sees you that [I will punish him severely if] he kills you. I will punish that person seven times as severely as I am punishing you.” Then Yahweh put a mark on Cain’s forehead.
Mutta Herra sanoi hänelle: "Sentähden, kuka ikinä tappaa Kainin, hänelle se pitää seitsenkertaisesti kostettaman". Ja Herra pani Kainiin merkin, ettei kukaan, joka hänet kohtaisi, tappaisi häntä.
16 So Cain left Yahweh and went to live in the land called Nod, [which means ‘wandering’], which was east of Eden.
Niin Kain poistui Herran kasvojen edestä ja asettui asumaan Noodin maahan, itään päin Eedenistä.
17 Some time later, Cain (had sex/slept) with his wife, and she [became pregnant and] gave birth to a son, whom she named Enoch. Then Cain started to build a city, and he named the city ‘Enoch’, the same name that his son had.
Ja Kain yhtyi vaimoonsa, ja tämä tuli raskaaksi ja synnytti Hanokin. Ja hän rakensi kaupungin ja antoi sille kaupungille poikansa nimen Hanok.
18 Enoch [grew up and married and] became the father of a son whom he named Irad. When Irad [grew up he] became the father of a son whom he named Mehujael. Mehujael [grew up and] became the father of a son whom he named Methuselah. Methuselah [grew up and] became the father of Lamech.
Ja Hanokille syntyi Iirad, Iiradille syntyi Mehujael, Mehujaelille syntyi Metusael, Metusaelille syntyi Lemek.
19 When Lamech [grew up he] married two women. The name of one was Adah and the other was Zillah.
Lemek otti itselleen kaksi vaimoa, toisen nimi oli Aada ja toisen nimi Silla.
20 Adah gave birth to [a son she named] Jabal.
Ja Aada synnytti Jaabalin; hänestä tuli niiden kantaisä, jotka teltoissa asuvat ja karjanhoitoa harjoittavat.
21 Later, Jabal was the first person who lived in tents because he traveled from place to place to take care of livestock. His younger brother’s name was Jubal. He was the first person who made/played a (lyre/stringed instrument) and a flute.
Ja hänen veljensä nimi oli Juubal; hänestä tuli kaikkien niiden kantaisä, jotka kannelta ja huilua soittavat.
22 [Lamech’s other wife] Zillah gave birth to a son whom she named Tubal-Cain. Later Tubal-Cain became a (blacksmith/one who made tools from bronze and iron). Tubal-Cain had a younger sister whose name was Naamah.
Myöskin Silla synnytti pojan, Tuubal-Kainin; hänestä tuli kaikkinaisten vaski-ja rauta-aseiden takoja. Ja Tuubal-Kainin sisar oli Naema.
23 One day Lamech said to his two wives, “Adah and Zillah, listen carefully to what I am saying. A young man struck me and wounded me, so I killed him.
Ja Lemek lausui vaimoillensa: "Aada ja Silla, kuulkaa puhettani, te Lemekin emännät, ottakaa sanani korviinne: minä surmaan miehen haavastani ja nuorukaisen mustelmastani.
24 Yahweh said long ago that he would avenge and punish anyone who killed Cain seven times as much as he punished Cain [for killing his younger brother]. So if anyone [tries to] kill me, I will punish him 77 times as much [as Yahweh punished Cain].”
Niin, Kain kostetaan seitsenkertaisesti, mutta Lemek seitsemänkymmentä seitsemän kertaa."
25 Adam continued to (have sex/sleep) with [EUP] his wife, and she [became pregnant and] gave birth to another son, whom she named Seth, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘given’], because, she said, “God has given me another child to take the place of Abel, since Cain killed him.”
Ja Aadam yhtyi taas vaimoonsa, ja tämä synnytti pojan ja antoi hänelle nimen Seet, sanoen: "Jumala on suonut minulle toisen pojan Aabelin sijaan, koska Kain hänet surmasi".
26 When Seth grew up, he became the father of a son whom he named Enosh. About that time people began to worship Yahweh [again].
Ja myöskin Seetille syntyi poika, ja hän antoi hänelle nimen Enos. Siihen aikaan ruvettiin avuksi huutamaan Herran nimeä.
