创4

创世记-Genesis 第 4 章

4:1	那人和他妻子夏娃同房，夏娃就怀孕，生了该隐；便说，我得了一个男子，耶和华。 And the man knew Eve his wife, and she conceived and gave birth to Cain and said, I have acquired a man, Jehovah.
4:2	又生了该隐的弟弟亚伯。亚伯是牧羊的，该隐是耕地的。 And again she gave birth to his brother Abel. And Abel was a tender of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.
4:3	有一日，该隐拿地里的出产为供物献给耶和华； And in the course of time Cain brought an offering to Jehovah from the fruit of the ground.
4:4	亚伯也将他羊群中头生的，特别是羊的脂油献上。耶和华看中了亚伯和他的供物， And Abel also brought an offering from the firstlings of his flock, that is, from their fat portions. And Jehovah had regard for Abel and for his offering.
4:5	只是看不中该隐和他的供物。该隐就大大发怒，垂下脸来。 But for Cain and for his offering He had no regard. And Cain became very angry, and his countenance fell.
4:6	耶和华对该隐说，你为什么发怒？你为什么垂下脸来？ And Jehovah said to Cain, Why are you angry, and why has your countenance fallen?
4:7	你若行得好，岂不扬起脸来么？你若行得不好，罪就伏在门前；他要恋慕你，但你必须管辖他。 If you do well, will not your countenance be lifted up? And if you do not do well, sin is crouching at the door; and his desire is for you, but you must rule over him.
4:8	该隐对他弟弟亚伯说，我们往田间去罢。二人正在田间，该隐起来打他弟弟亚伯，把他杀了。 And Cain said to Abel his brother, Let us go into the field. And when they were in the field, Cain rose up against Abel his brother and slew him.
4:9	耶和华对该隐说，你弟弟亚伯在那里？他说，我不知道。我岂是看守我弟弟的么？ Then Jehovah said to Cain, Where is Abel your brother? And he said, I do not know. Am I my brother's keeper?
4:10	耶和华说，你作了什么事？你弟弟的血有声音从地里向我哀告。 And He said, What have you done? The voice of your brother's blood is crying out to Me from the ground.
4:11	地开了口，从你手里接受你弟弟的血；现在你必从这地受咒诅。 And now you are cursed from the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother's blood from your hand.
4:12	你耕地，地不再给你效力；你必流离飘荡在地上。 When you till the ground, it will no longer yield its strength to you. You will be a fugitive and a wanderer on the earth.
4:13	该隐对耶和华说，我的刑罚太重，过于我所能承担的。 And Cain said to Jehovah, My punishment is greater than I can bear.
4:14	你今日赶逐我离开这地的面，以致我不得见你的面；我必流离飘荡在地上，凡遇见我的必杀我。 Now You have driven me out this day from the face of the ground, and from Your face I will be hidden; and I will be a fugitive and a wanderer on the earth, and whoever finds me will kill me.
4:15	耶和华对他说，既是这样，凡杀该隐的，必遭报七倍。耶和华就在该隐身上作一个记号，免得人遇见就击杀他。 And Jehovah said to him, Therefore whoever kills Cain, vengeance will be taken on him sevenfold. And Jehovah put a mark on Cain, so that anyone who found him would not strike him.
4:16	于是该隐离开耶和华的面，去住在伊甸东边挪得之地。 And Cain went forth from the presence of Jehovah and dwelt in the land of Nod, east of Eden.
4:17	该隐与妻子同房，他妻子就怀孕，生了以诺。该隐建造了一座城，并按着他儿子的名，将那城叫作以诺。 And Cain knew his wife, and she conceived and gave birth to Enoch; and he built a city and called the name of the city after the name of his son Enoch.
4:18	以诺生以拿，以拿生米户雅利，米户雅利生玛土撒利，玛土撒利生拉麦。 And Irad was born to Enoch, and Irad begot Mehujael, and Mehujael begot Methushael, and Methushael begot Lamech.
4:19	拉麦娶了两个妻子，一个名叫亚大，另一个名叫洗拉。 And Lamech took two wives for himself: The name of the first was Adah, and the name of the second Zillah.
4:20	亚大生雅八；雅八是居住帐棚、牧养牲畜之人的始祖。 And Adah gave birth to Jabal; he was the father of those who dwell in tents and raise cattle.
4:21	雅八的兄弟名叫犹八；他是一切弹琴吹箫之人的始祖。 And his brother's name was Jubal; he was the father of all those who play the lyre and pipe.
4:22	洗拉也生了土八该隐；他是打造各样铜铁利器的。土八该隐的妹妹是拿玛。 And Zillah also gave birth to Tubal-cain, the forger of every cutting instrument of bronze and iron; and the sister of Tubal-cain was Naamah.
4:23	拉麦对他的两个妻子说，亚大和洗拉，听我的声音；拉麦的妻子，听我的言语：壮年人伤我，我把他杀了；少年人打我，我把他害了。 And Lamech said to his wives, Adah and Zillah, listen to my voice; O wives of Lamech, hearken to my speech; For I have slain a man for wounding me, Even a young man for striking me.
4:24	若杀该隐遭报七倍，杀拉麦必遭报七十七倍。 If Cain is avenged sevenfold, Then Lamech seventy-sevenfold.
4:25	亚当又与妻子同房；她就生了一个儿子，给他起名叫塞特，说，神给我另立了一个后裔代替亚伯，因为该隐杀了他。 And Adam knew his wife again; and she gave birth to a son and called his name Seth; for, she said, God has appointed me another seed instead of Abel, because Cain slew him.
4:26	塞特也生了一个儿子，起名叫以挪士。在那时候，人开始呼求耶和华的名。 And to Seth also a son was born, and he called his name Enosh. At that time men began to call upon the name of Jehovah.
