創世記 4
1 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
And Adam had sexual contact with Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have got a man from the LORD.
2 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
And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.
3 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
And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD.
4 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
And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering:
5 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
But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very angry, and his countenance fell.
6 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
And the LORD said unto Cain, Why are you angry? and why is your countenance fallen?
7 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
If you do well, shall you not be accepted? and if you do not well, sin lies at the door. And unto you shall be his desire, and you shall rule over him.
8 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
And Cain talked with 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.
9 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
And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel your brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother's keeper?
10 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
And he said, What have you done? the voice of your brother's blood cries unto me from the ground.
11 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
And now are you cursed from the earth, which has opened her mouth to receive your brother's blood from your hand;
12 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
When you till the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto you her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shall you be in the earth.
13 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
And Cain said unto the LORD, My punishment is greater than I can bear.
14 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
Behold, you have driven me out this day from the face of the earth; and from your face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass, that every one that finds me shall slay me.
15 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
And the LORD said unto him, Therefore whosoever slays Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the LORD set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him.
16 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
And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.
17 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
And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he built a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch.
18 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
And unto Enoch was born Irad: and Irad brings forth Mehujael: and Mehujael brings forth Methusael: and Methusael brings forth Lamech.
19 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
And Lamech took unto him two wives: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah.
20 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
And Adah bare Jabal: he was the father of such as dwell in tents, and of such as have cattle.
21 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
And his brother's name was Jubal: he was the father of all such as handle the harp and organ.
22 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
And Zillah, she also bare Tubalcain, an instructor of every artificer in brass and iron: and the sister of Tubalcain was Naamah.
23 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
And Lamech said unto his wives, Adah and Zillah, Hear my voice; all of you wives of Lamech, hearken unto my speech: for I have slain a man to my wounding, and a young man to my hurt.
24 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
If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, truly Lamech seventy and sevenfold.
25 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
And Adam had sexual contact with his wife again; and she bare a son, and called his name Seth: For God, said she, has appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew.
26 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
And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enos: then began men to call upon the name of the LORD.
