该隐和亚伯

那人和他妻子夏娃同房,夏娃就怀孕,生了该隐[a],她说:“我靠耶和华得了一个男的。” 她又生了该隐的弟弟亚伯亚伯是牧羊的;该隐是耕地的。 过了一些日子,该隐拿地里的出产为供物献给耶和华; 亚伯也把他羊群中头生的和羊的脂肪献上。耶和华看中了亚伯和他的供物, 却看不中该隐和他的供物。该隐就非常生气,沉下脸来。 耶和华对该隐说:“你为什么生气呢?你为什么沉下脸来呢? 你若做得对,岂不仰起头来吗?你若做得不对,罪就伏在门前。它想要控制你,你却要制伏它。”

该隐与他弟弟亚伯说话。[b]二人正在田间时,该隐起来攻击他弟弟亚伯,把他杀了。 耶和华对该隐说:“你弟弟亚伯在哪里?”他说:“我不知道!我岂是看守我弟弟的吗?” 10 耶和华说:“你做了什么事呢?你弟弟血的声音从地里向我哀号。 11 现在你必从这地受诅咒,这地开了口,从你手里接受你弟弟的血。 12 你耕种土地,它不再给你效力;你必流离飘荡在地上。” 13 该隐对耶和华说:“我的惩罚太重,过于我所能承当的。 14 看哪,今日你赶我离开这块土地,不能见你的面;我必流离飘荡在地上,凡遇见我的必杀我。” 15 耶和华对他说:“既然如此,凡杀该隐的,必遭报七倍。”耶和华就给该隐立一个记号,免得人遇见他就杀他。 16 于是该隐离开了耶和华的面,去住在伊甸东边挪得[c]之地。

该隐的后代

17 该隐与妻子同房,她就怀孕,生了以诺该隐建造一座城,就照他儿子的名字称那城为以诺 18 以诺以拿以拿米户雅利米户雅利玛土撒利玛土撒利拉麦 19 拉麦娶了两个妻子:一个名叫亚大,一个名叫洗拉 20 亚大雅八雅八是住帐棚、牧养牲畜之人的祖师。 21 雅八的兄弟名叫犹八;他是所有弹琴吹箫之人的祖师。 22 洗拉又生了土八‧该隐;他是打造各样铜器铁器的工匠。土八‧该隐的妹妹是拿玛 23 拉麦对他两个妻子说:

亚大洗拉啊,听我的声音;
拉麦的妻子啊,侧耳听我的言语:
大人伤我,我把他杀了;
小孩损我,我把他害了[d]
24 若杀该隐,遭报七倍,
拉麦的,必遭报七十七倍。

塞特和以挪士

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:“ 神给我立了另一个子嗣代替亚伯,因为该隐杀了他。” 26 塞特也生了一个儿子,起名叫以挪士。那时候,人开始求告耶和华的名。

該隱和亞伯

亞當和他妻子夏娃同房,夏娃便懷孕,生了該隱。她說:「耶和華讓我得了一個男孩。」 後來,夏娃又生了該隱的弟弟亞伯。長大後,亞伯做了牧羊人,該隱做了農夫。

到了收成的時候,該隱把地裡的出產當祭物獻給耶和華, 亞伯也把羊群中頭生的羊及其最肥美的部分獻給耶和華。耶和華悅納亞伯和他的祭物, 卻不悅納該隱和他的祭物。該隱便非常惱火,面帶怒容。 耶和華問該隱:「你為什麼惱火?為什麼面帶怒容? 如果你做得對,難道不會蒙悅納嗎?如果你做得不對,罪就蹲在你的門口要控制你,但你必須制伏罪。」

該隱對弟弟亞伯說:「我們去田間吧!」[a]他們在田間的時候,該隱動手打亞伯,把他殺了。

後來,耶和華問該隱:「你弟弟亞伯在哪裡?」他說:「我不知道!難道我是弟弟的看護人嗎?」 10 耶和華說:「你做了什麼事?你弟弟的血從地裡向我哭訴。 11 地張開口從你手上接受了你弟弟的血,你在地上必受咒詛。 12 你種地,地卻不會再為你長出任何東西,你必在地上四處漂泊。」 13 該隱對耶和華說:「這懲罰太重!我承受不了。 14 今天你把我趕出去,使我不能再見你的面。我在地上四處漂泊,見到我的人都會殺我。」 15 耶和華對他說:「不會的,因為凡殺你的,必遭受七倍的報應。」於是,耶和華在該隱身上留下一個記號,免得見到他的人殺他。 16 該隱離開耶和華,來到伊甸東邊的挪得住下來。

該隱的後代

17 該隱和妻子同房,他的妻子就懷孕,生了以諾。該隱建了一座城,用他兒子的名字給這城取名叫以諾。 18 以諾生以拿,以拿生米戶雅利,米戶雅利生瑪土撒利,瑪土撒利生拉麥。 19 拉麥娶了兩個妻子,一個叫亞大,另一個叫洗拉。 20 亞大生了亞八,亞八是遊牧民族的祖先, 21 亞八的弟弟猶八是吹奏樂器之人的鼻祖。 22 洗拉生了土八·該隱,他是打造各種銅鐵器具的匠人[b],他的妹妹叫拿瑪。

23 一天,拉麥對他的兩個妻子說:

「亞大,洗拉,你們聽我的聲音;
拉麥的妻子啊,側耳聽我的話,
有人傷我,我殺了他,
青年打我,我宰了他。
24 殺該隱的遭受七倍的報應,
殺拉麥的遭受七十七倍的報應。」

塞特和以挪士

25 亞當又與妻子夏娃同房,夏娃生了一個兒子,取名叫塞特,因為她說:「上帝賜我另一個兒子來代替亞伯,因為該隱殺了他。」 26 塞特生了一個兒子,給他取名叫以挪士。那時候,人才開始求告耶和華。

  1. 4·8 我們去田間吧!」參照七十士譯本,希伯來文無此句。
  2. 4·22 他是打造各種銅鐵器具的匠人」或譯「他是銅匠、鐵匠的祖先」。

And the man knew Eve his wife, and she conceiveth and beareth Cain, and saith, `I have gotten a man by Jehovah;'

and she addeth to bear his brother, even Abel. And Abel is feeding a flock, and Cain hath been servant of the ground.

And it cometh to pass at the end of days that Cain bringeth from the fruit of the ground a present to Jehovah;

and Abel, he hath brought, he also, from the female firstlings of his flock, even from their fat ones; and Jehovah looketh unto Abel and unto his present,

and unto Cain and unto his present He hath not looked; and it is very displeasing to Cain, and his countenance is fallen.

And Jehovah saith unto Cain, `Why hast thou displeasure? and why hath thy countenance fallen?

Is there not, if thou dost well, acceptance? and if thou dost not well, at the opening a sin-offering is crouching, and unto thee its desire, and thou rulest over it.'

And Cain saith unto Abel his brother, [`Let us go into the field;'] and it cometh to pass in their being in the field, that Cain riseth up against Abel his brother, and slayeth him.

And Jehovah saith unto Cain, `Where [is] Abel thy brother?' and he saith, `I have not known; my brother's keeper -- I?'

10 And He saith, `What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood is crying unto Me from the ground;

11 and now, cursed [art] thou from the ground, which hath opened her mouth to receive the blood of thy brother from thy hand;

12 when thou tillest the ground, it doth not add to give its strength to thee -- a wanderer, even a trembling one, thou art in the earth.'

13 And Cain saith unto Jehovah, `Greater is my punishment than to be borne;

14 lo, Thou hast driven me to-day from off the face of the ground, and from Thy face I am hid; and I have been a wanderer, even a trembling one, in the earth, and it hath been -- every one finding me doth slay me.'

15 And Jehovah saith to him, `Therefore -- of any slayer of Cain sevenfold it is required;' and Jehovah setteth to Cain a token that none finding him doth slay him.

16 And Cain goeth out from before Jehovah, and dwelleth in the land, moving about east of Eden;

17 and Cain knoweth his wife, and she conceiveth, and beareth Enoch; and he is building a city, and he calleth the name of the city, according to the name of his son -- Enoch.

18 And born to Enoch is Irad; and Irad hath begotten Mehujael; and Mehujael hath begotten Methusael; and Methusael hath begotten Lamech.

19 And Lamech taketh to himself two wives, the name of the one Adah, and the name of the second Zillah.

20 And Adah beareth Jabal, he hath been father of those inhabiting tents and purchased possessions;

21 and the name of his brother [is] Jubal, he hath been father of every one handling harp and organ.

22 And Zillah she also bare Tubal-Cain, an instructor of every artificer in brass and iron; and a sister of Tubal-Cain [is] Naamah.

23 And Lamech saith to his wives: -- `Adah and Zillah, hear my voice; Wives of Lamech, give ear [to] my saying: For a man I have slain for my wound, Even a young man for my hurt;

24 For sevenfold is required for Cain, And for Lamech seventy and sevenfold.'

25 And Adam again knoweth his wife, and she beareth a son, and calleth his name Seth, `for God hath appointed for me another seed instead of Abel:' for Cain had slain him.

26 And to Seth, to him also a son hath been born, and he calleth his name Enos; then a beginning was made of preaching in the name of Jehovah.
