Бытие 4
1 Адам же позна Еву жену свою, и заченши роди Каина и рече: стяжах человека Богом.
Now Adam had marital relations with his wife Eve, and she conceived, and gave birth to Cain, and said, "I have gotten a man from God."
2 И приложи родити брата его, Авеля. И бысть Авель пастырь овец, Каин же бе делаяй землю.
Again she gave birth, to Cain's brother Abel. Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.
3 И бысть по днех, принесе Каин от плодов земли жертву Богу:
As time passed, it happened that Cain brought an offering to God from the fruit of the ground.
4 и Авель принесе и той от первородных овец своих и от туков их. И призре Бог на Авеля и на дары его:
And Abel also brought some of the firstborn of his flock and of its fat. And God looked favorably on Abel and his offering,
5 на Каина же и на жертвы его не внят. И опечалися Каин зело, и испаде лице его.
but he did not look favorably on Cain and his offering. Cain was very angry, and the expression on his face fell.
6 И рече Господь Бог Каину: вскую прискорбен был еси? И вскую испаде лице твое?
God said to Cain, "Why are you angry? Why has the expression of your face fallen?
7 Еда аще право принесл еси, право же не разделил еси, не согрешил ли еси? Умолкни: к тебе обращение его, и ты тем обладаеши.
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."
8 И рече Каин ко Авелю брату своему: пойдем на поле. И бысть внегда быти им на поли, воста Каин на Авеля брата своего и уби его.
Cain said to Abel, his brother, "Let's go into the field." It happened when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel, his brother, and killed him.
9 И рече Господь Бог ко Каину: где есть Авель брат твой? И рече: не вем: еда страж брату моему есмь аз?
Then God said to Cain, "Where is Abel, your brother?" He said, "I do not know. Am I my brother's keeper?"
10 И рече Господь: что сотворил еси сие? Глас крове брата твоего вопиет ко Мне от земли:
And God said, "What have you done? The voice of your brother's blood cries out to me from the ground.
11 и ныне проклят ты на земли, яже разверзе уста своя прияти кровь брата твоего от руки твоея:
Now you are cursed because of the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother's blood from your hand.
12 егда делаеши землю, и не приложит силы своея дати тебе: стеня и трясыйся будеши на земли.
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."
13 И рече Каин ко Господу Богу: вящшая вина моя, еже оставитися ми:
Cain said to God, "My punishment is greater than I can bear.
14 аще изгониши мя днесь от лица земли, и от лица Твоего скрыюся, и буду стеня и трясыйся на земли, и будет, всяк обретаяй мя убиет мя.
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."
15 И рече ему Господь Бог: не тако: всяк убивый Каина седмижды отмстится. И положи Господь Бог знамение на Каине, еже не убити его всякому обретающему его.
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.
16 И изыде Каин от лица Божия и вселися в землю Наид, прямо Едему.
So Cain went out from the presence of God and lived in the land of Nod, east of Eden.
17 И позна Каин жену свою, и заченши роди Еноха. И бе зиждяй град, и именова град во имя сына своего Енох.
Cain had marital relations with his wife, and she conceived and gave birth to Enoch. He built a city and called the name of the city after the name of his son, Enoch.
18 Родися же Еноху Гаидад: и Гаидад роди Малелеила: и Малелеил роди Мафусала: Мафусал же роди Ламеха.
To Enoch was born Irad, and Irad became the father of Mehaiel, and Mehaiel became the father of Methushael, and Methushael became the father of Lamech.
19 И взя себе Ламех две жены: имя единей Ада и имя вторей Селла.
Lamech took two wives: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah.
20 И роди Ада Иовила: сей бяше отец живущих в селениих скотопитателей.
Adah gave birth to Jabal, who was the father of those who dwell in tents and have livestock.
21 И имя брату его Иувал: сей бяше показавый певницу и гусли.
His brother's name was Jubal, who was the father of all who play the harp and flute.
22 Селла же и тая роди Фовела: сей бяше млатобиец, ковачь меди и железа: сестра же Фовелова Ноема.
Zillah also gave birth to Tubal Cain, who heated metal and shaped instruments of bronze and iron. Tubal Cain's sister was Naamah.
23 Рече же Ламех своим женам: Ада и Селла, услышите глас мой, жены Ламеховы, внушите моя словеса: яко мужа убих в язву мне и юношу в струп мне:
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.
24 яко седмицею отмстися от Каина, от Ламеха же седмьдесят седмицею.
If Cain will be avenged seven times, truly Lamech seventy-seven times."
25 Позна же Адам Еву жену свою: и заченши роди сына, и именова имя ему Сиф, глаголющи: воскреси бо ми Бог семя другое, вместо Авеля, егоже уби Каин.
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 Abel, for Cain killed him."
26 И Сифу бысть сын: именова же имя ему Енос: сей упова призывати имя Господа Бога.
And a son was also born to Seth, and he named him Enosh. This one began to call on the name of God.
