창세기 4

1아담이 그 아내 하와와 동침하매 하와가 잉태하여 가인을 낳고 이르되 내가 여호와로 말미암아 득남하였다 하니라 2그가 또 가인의 아우 아벨을 낳았는데 아벨은 양 치는 자이었고 가인은 농사하는 자이었더라 3세월이 지난 후에 가인은 땅의 소산으로 제물을 삼아 여호와께 드렸고 4아벨은 자기도 양의 첫 새끼와 그 기름으로 드렸더니 여호와께서 아벨과 그 제물은 열납하셨으나 5가인과 그 제물은 열납하지 아니하신지라 가인이 심히 분하여 안색이 변하니 6여호와께서 가인에게 이르시되 네가 분하여 함은 어찜이며 안색이 변함은 어찜이뇨 7네가 선을 행하면 어찌 낯을 들지 못하겠느냐 선을 행치 아니하면 죄가 문에 엎드리느니라 죄의 소원은 네게 있으나 너는 죄를 다스릴지니라 8가인이 그 아우 아벨에게 고하니라 그후 그들이 들에 있을 때에 가인이 그 아우 아벨을 쳐죽이니라 9여호와께서 가인에게 이르시되 네 아우 아벨이 어디 있느냐 그가 가로되 내가 알지 못하나이다 내가 내 아우를 지키는 자이니까 10가라사대 네가 무엇을 하였느냐 네 아우의 핏소리가 땅에서부터 내게 호소하느니라 11땅이 그 입을 벌려 네 손에서부터 네 아우의 피를 받았은즉 네가 땅에서 저주를 받으리니 12네가 밭 갈아도 땅이 다시는 그 효력을 네게 주지 아니할 것이요 너는 땅에서 피하며 유리하는 자가 되리라 13가인이 여호와께 고하되 내 죄벌이 너무 중하여 견딜 수 없나이다 14주께서 오늘 이 지면에서 나를 쫓아내시온즉 내가 주의 낯을 뵈옵지 못하리니 내가 땅에서 피하며 유리하는 자가 될지라 무릇 나를 만나는 자가 나를 죽이겠나이다 15여호와께서 그에게 이르시되 그렇지 않다 가인을 죽이는 자는 벌을 칠 배나 받으리라 하시고 가인에게 표를 주사 만나는 누구에게든지 죽임을 면케 하시니라 16가인이 여호와의 앞을 떠나 나가 에덴 동편 놋 땅에 거하였더니 17아내와 동침하니 그가 잉태하여 에녹을 낳은지라 가인이 성을 쌓고 그 아들의 이름으로 성을 이름하여 에녹이라 하였더라 18에녹이 이랏을 낳았고 이랏은 므후야엘을 낳았고 므후야엘은 므드사엘을 낳았고 므드사엘은 라멕을 낳았더라 19라멕이 두 아내를 취하였으니 하나의 이름은 아다요 하나의 이름은 씰라며 20아다는 야발을 낳았으니 그는 장막에 거하여 육축 치는 자의 조상이 되었고 21그 아우의 이름은 유발이니 그는 수금과 퉁소를 잡는 모든 자의 조상이 되었으며 22씰라는 두발가인을 낳았으니 그는 동철로 각양 날카로운 기계를 만드는 자요 두발가인의 누이는 나아마이었더라 23라멕이 아내들에게 이르되 아다와 씰라여 내 소리를 들으라 라멕의 아내들이여 내 말을 들으라 나의 창상을 인하여 내가 사람을 죽였고 나의 상함을 인하여 소년을 죽였도다 24가인을 위하여는 벌이 칠 배일진대 라멕을 위하여는 벌이 칠십칠 배이리로다 하였더라 25아담이 다시 아내와 동침하매 그가 아들을 낳아 그 이름을 셋이라 하였으니 이는 하나님이 내게 가인의 죽인 아벨 대신에 다른 씨를 주셨다 함이며 26셋도 아들을 낳고 그 이름을 에노스라 하였으며 그 때에 사람들이 비로소 여호와의 이름을 불렀더라

1The man knew Eve his wife. She conceived, and gave birth to Cain, and said, “I have gotten a man with Yahweh’s help.” 2Again she gave birth, to Cain’s brother Abel. Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground. 3As time passed, Cain brought an offering to Yahweh from the fruit of the ground. 4Abel also brought some of the firstborn of his flock and of its fat. Yahweh respected Abel and his offering, 5but he didn’t respect Cain and his offering. Cain was very angry, and the expression on his face fell. 6Yahweh said to Cain, “Why are you angry? Why has the expression of your face fallen? 7If 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.” 8Cain 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. 9Yahweh said to Cain, “Where is Abel, your brother?” He said, “I don’t know. Am I my brother’s keeper?” 10Yahweh said, “What have you done? The voice of your brother’s blood cries to me from the ground. 11Now you are cursed because of the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand. 12From 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.” 13Cain said to Yahweh, “My punishment is greater than I can bear. 14Behold, 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. Whoever finds me will kill me.” 15Yahweh said to him, “Therefore whoever slays Cain, vengeance will be taken on him sevenfold.” Yahweh appointed a sign for Cain, so that anyone finding him would not strike him. 16Cain left Yahweh’s presence, and lived in the land of Nod, east of Eden. 17Cain knew his wife. 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. 18To Enoch was born Irad. Irad became the father of Mehujael. Mehujael became the father of Methushael. Methushael became the father of Lamech. 19Lamech took two wives: the name of the first one was Adah, and the name of the second one was Zillah. 20Adah gave birth to Jabal, who was the father of those who dwell in tents and have livestock. 21His brother’s name was Jubal, who was the father of all who handle the harp and pipe. 22Zillah also gave birth to Tubal Cain, the forger of every cutting instrument of brass and iron. Tubal Cain’s sister was Naamah. 23Lamech 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. 24If Cain will be avenged seven times, truly Lamech seventy-seven times.” 25Adam knew his wife again. She gave birth to a son, and named him Seth, “for God has given me another child instead of Abel, for Cain killed him.” 26A son was also born to Seth, and he named him Enosh. At that time men began to call on Yahweh’s name.

1En Adam bekende Heva, zijn huisvrouw, en zij werd zwanger, en baarde Kain, en zeide: Ik heb een man van de HEERE verkregen! 2En zij voer voort te baren zijn broeder Habel; en Habel werd een schaapherder, en Kain werd een landbouwer. 3En het geschiedde ten einde van enige dagen, dat Kain van de vrucht des lands den HEERE offer bracht. 4En Habel bracht ook van de eerstgeborenen zijner schapen, en van hun vet. En de HEERE zag Habel en zijn offer aan; 5Maar Kain en zijn offer zag Hij niet aan. Toen ontstak Kain zeer, en zijn aangezicht verviel. 6En de HEERE zeide tot Kain: Waarom zijt gij ontstoken, en waarom is uw aangezicht vervallen? 7Is er niet, indien gij weldoet, verhoging? en zo gij niet weldoet, de zonde ligt aan de deur. Zijn begeerte is toch tot u, en gij zult over hem heersen. 8En Kain sprak met zijn broeder Habel; en het geschiedde, als zij in het veld waren, dat Kain tegen zijn broeder Habel opstond, en sloeg hem dood. 9En de HEERE zeide tot Kain: Waar is Habel, uw broeder? En hij zeide: Ik weet het niet; ben ik mijns broeders hoeder? 10En Hij zeide: Wat hebt gij gedaan? daar is een stem des bloeds van uw broeder, dat tot Mij roept van den aardbodem. 11En nu zijt gij vervloekt van den aardbodem, die zijn mond heeft opengedaan, om uws broeders bloed van uw hand te ontvangen. 12Als gij den aardbodem bouwen zult, hij zal u zijn vermogen niet meer geven; gij zult zwervende en dolende zijn op aarde. 13En Kain zeide tot den HEERE: Mijn misdaad is groter, dan dat zij vergeven worde. 14Zie, Gij hebt mij heden verdreven van den aardbodem, en ik zal voor Uw aangezicht verborgen zijn; en ik zal zwervende en dolende zijn op de aarde, en het zal geschieden, dat al wie mij vindt, mij zal doodslaan. 15Doch de HEERE zeide tot hem: Daarom, al wie Kain doodslaat, zal zevenvoudig gewroken worden! En de HEERE stelde een teken aan Kain; opdat hem niet versloeg al wie hem vond. 16En Kain ging uit van het aangezicht des HEEREN; en hij woonde in het land Nod, ten oosten van Eden. 17En Kain bekende zijn huisvrouw, en zij werd bevrucht en baarde Henoch; en hij bouwde een stad, en noemde den naam dier stad naar den naam zijns zoons, Henoch. 18En aan Henoch werd Hirad geboren; en Hirad gewon Mechujael; en Mechujael gewon Methusael; en Methusael gewon Lamech. 19En Lamech nam zich twee vrouwen; de naam van de eerste was Ada, en de naam van de andere Zilla. 20En Ada baarde Jabal; deze is geweest een vader dergenen, die tenten bewoonden, en vee hadden. 21En de naam zijns broeders was Jubal; deze werd de vader van allen, die harpen en orgelen handelen. 22En Zilla baarde ook Tubal-Kain, een leermeester van allen werker in koper en ijzer; en de zuster van Tubal-Kain was Naema. 23En Lamech zeide tot zijn vrouwen Ada en Zilla: Hoort mijn stem, gij vrouwen van Lamech! neemt ter ore mijn rede! Voorwaar, ik sloeg wel een man dood, om mijn wonde, en een jongeling, om mijn buile! 24Want Kain zal zevenvoudig gewroken worden, maar Lamech zeventigmaal zevenmaal. 25En Adam bekende wederom zijn huisvrouw, en zij baarde een zoon, en zij noemde zijn naam Seth; want God heeft mij, sprak zij, een ander zaad gezet voor Habel; want Kain heeft hem doodgeslagen. 26En denzelven Seth werd ook een zoon geboren, en hij noemde zijn naam Enos. Toen begon men den naam des HEEREN aan te roepen.
