Genesis 4
1 The man knew Havah his wife. She conceived, and gave birth to Cain, and said, “I have gotten a man with the LORD’s help.”
Iza toga Adam pozna Jevu ženu svoju, a ona zatrudnje i rodi Kajina, i reèe: dobih èovjeka od Gospoda.
2 Again she gave birth, to Cain’s brother Abel. Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.
I rodi opet brata njegova Avelja. I Avelj posta pastir a Kajin ratar.
3 As time passed, Cain brought an offering to the LORD from the fruit of the ground.
A poslije nekoga vremena dogodi se, te Kajin prinese Gospodu prinos od roda zemaljskoga;
4 Abel also brought some of the firstborn of his flock and of its fat. The LORD respected Abel and his offering,
A i Avelj prinese od prvina stada svojega i od njihove pretiline. I Gospod pogleda na Avelja i na njegov prinos,
5 but he didn’t respect Cain and his offering. Cain was very angry, and the expression on his face fell.
A na Kajina i na njegov prinos ne pogleda. Zato se Kajin rasrdi veoma, i lice mu se promijeni.
6 The LORD said to Cain, “Why are you angry? Why has the expression of your face fallen?
Tada reèe Gospod Kajinu: što se srdiš? što li ti se lice promijeni?
7 If you do well, won’t it be lifted up? If you don’t do well, sin crouches at the door. Its desire is for you, but you are to rule over it.”
Neæeš li biti mio, kad dobro èiniš? a kad ne èiniš dobro, grijeh je na vratima. A volja je njegova pod tvojom vlašæu, i ti si mu stariji.
8 Cain said to Abel, his brother, “Let’s go into the field.” While they were in the field, Cain rose up against Abel, his brother, and killed him.
Poslije govoraše Kajin s Aveljem bratom svojim. Ali kad bijahu u polju, skoèi Kajin na Avelja brata svojega, i ubi ga.
9 The LORD said to Cain, “Where is Abel, your brother?” He said, “I don’t know. Am I my brother’s keeper?”
Tada reèe Gospod Kajinu: gdje ti je brat Avelj? A on odgovori: ne znam; zar sam ja èuvar brata svojega?
10 The LORD said, “What have you done? The voice of your brother’s blood cries to me from the ground.
A Bog reèe: šta uèini! glas krvi brata tvojega vièe sa zemlje k meni.
11 Now you are cursed because of the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand.
I sada, da si proklet na zemlji, koja je otvorila usta svoja da primi krv brata tvojega iz ruke tvoje.
12 From now on, when you till the ground, it won’t yield its strength to you. You will be a fugitive and a wanderer in the earth.”
Kad zemlju uzradiš, neæe ti više davati blaga svojega. Biæeš potukaè i bjegunac na zemlji.
13 Cain said to the LORD, “My punishment is greater than I can bear.
A Kajin reèe Gospodu: krivica je moja velika da mi se ne može oprostiti.
14 Behold, you have driven me out today 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. Whoever finds me will kill me.”
Evo me tjeraš danas iz ove zemlje da se krijem ispred tebe, i da se skitam i potucam po zemlji, pa æe me ubiti ko me udesi.
15 The LORD said to him, “Therefore whoever slays Cain, vengeance will be taken on him sevenfold.” The LORD appointed a sign for Cain, so that anyone finding him would not strike him.
A Gospod mu reèe: zato ko ubije Kajina, sedam æe se puta to pokajati. I naèini Gospod znak na Kajinu da ga ne ubije ko ga udesi.
16 Cain left the LORD’s presence, and lived in the land of Nod, east of Eden.
I otide Kajin ispred Gospoda, i naseli se u zemlji Naidskoj na istoku prema Edemu.
17 Cain knew his wife. She conceived, and gave birth to Enoch. He built a city, and named the city after the name of his son, Enoch.
I pozna Kajin ženu svoju, a ona zatrudnje i rodi Enoha. I sazida grad i prozva ga po imenu sina svojega Enoh.
18 Irad was born to Enoch. Irad became the father of Mehujael. Mehujael became the father of Methushael. Methushael became the father of Lamech.
A Enohu rodi se Gaidad; a Gaidad rodi Maleleila; a Maleleilo rodi Matusala; a Matusal rodi Lameha.
19 Lamech took two wives: the name of the first one was Adah, and the name of the second one was Zillah.
I uze Lameh dvije žene: jednoj bješe ime Ada a drugoj Sela.
20 Adah gave birth to Jabal, who was the father of those who dwell in tents and have livestock.
I Ada rodi Jovila; od njega se narodiše koji žive pod šatorima i stoku pasu.
21 His brother’s name was Jubal, who was the father of all who handle the harp and pipe.
A bratu njegovu bješe ime Juval; od njega se narodiše gudaèi i sviraèi.
22 Zillah also gave birth to Tubal Cain, the forger of every cutting instrument of bronze and iron. Tubal Cain’s sister was Naamah.
A i Sela rodi Tovela, koji bješe vješt kovati svašta od mjedi i od gvožða; a sestra Tovelu bješe Noema.
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.
I reèe Lameh svojima ženama, Adi i Seli: èujte glas moj, žene Lamehove, poslušajte rijeèi moje: ubiæu èovjeka za ranu svoju i mladiæa za masnicu svoju.
24 If Cain will be avenged seven times, truly Lamech seventy-seven times.”
Kad æe se Kajin osvetiti sedam puta, Lameh æe sedamdeset i sedam puta.
25 Adam knew his wife again. She gave birth to a son, and named him Seth, saying, “for God has given me another child instead of Abel, for Cain killed him.”
A Adam opet pozna ženu svoju, i ona rodi sina, i nadje mu ime Sit, jer mi, reèe, Bog dade drugoga sina za Avelja, kojega ubi Kajin.
26 A son was also born to Seth, and he named him Enosh. At that time men began to call on the LORD’s name.
I Situ se rodi sin, kojemu nadjede ime Enos. Tada se poèe prizivati ime Gospodnje.
