创世记 4
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
该隐和亚伯
4 亚当和他妻子夏娃同房,夏娃便怀孕,生了该隐。她说:“耶和华让我得了一个男孩。” 2 后来,夏娃又生了该隐的弟弟亚伯。长大后,亚伯做了牧羊人,该隐做了农夫。
3 到了收成的时候,该隐把地里的出产当祭物献给耶和华, 4 亚伯也把羊群中头生的羊及其最肥美的部分献给耶和华。耶和华悦纳亚伯和他的祭物, 5 却不悦纳该隐和他的祭物。该隐便非常恼火,面带怒容。 6 耶和华问该隐:“你为什么恼火?为什么面带怒容? 7 如果你做得对,难道不会蒙悦纳吗?如果你做得不对,罪就蹲在你的门口要控制你,但你必须制服罪。”
8 该隐对弟弟亚伯说:“我们去田间吧!”[a]他们在田间的时候,该隐动手打亚伯,把他杀了。
9 后来,耶和华问该隐:“你弟弟亚伯在哪里?”他说:“我不知道!难道我是弟弟的看护人吗?” 10 耶和华说:“你做了什么事?你弟弟的血从地里向我哭诉。 11 地张开口从你手上接受了你弟弟的血,你在地上必受咒诅。 12 你种地,地却不会再为你长出任何东西,你必在地上四处漂泊。” 13 该隐对耶和华说:“这惩罚太重!我承受不了。 14 今天你把我赶出去,使我不能再见你的面。我在地上四处漂泊,见到我的人都会杀我。” 15 耶和华对他说:“不会的,因为凡杀你的,必遭受七倍的报应。”于是,耶和华在该隐身上留下一个记号,免得见到他的人杀他。 16 该隐离开耶和华,来到伊甸东边的挪得住下来。
该隐的后代
17 该隐和妻子同房,他的妻子就怀孕,生了以诺。该隐建了一座城,用他儿子的名字给这城取名叫以诺。 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。 19 拉麦娶了两个妻子,一个叫亚大,另一个叫洗拉。 20 亚大生了亚八,亚八是游牧民族的祖先, 21 亚八的弟弟犹八是吹奏乐器之人的鼻祖。 22 洗拉生了土八·该隐,他是打造各种铜铁器具的匠人[b],他的妹妹叫拿玛。
23 一天,拉麦对他的两个妻子说:
“亚大,洗拉,你们听我的声音;
拉麦的妻子啊,侧耳听我的话,
有人伤我,我杀了他,
青年打我,我宰了他。
24 杀该隐的遭受七倍的报应,
杀拉麦的遭受七十七倍的报应。”
塞特和以挪士
25 亚当又与妻子夏娃同房,夏娃生了一个儿子,取名叫塞特,因为她说:“上帝赐我另一个儿子来代替亚伯,因为该隐杀了他。” 26 塞特生了一个儿子,给他取名叫以挪士。那时候,人才开始求告耶和华。

Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Traditional)
生該隱亞伯
4 有一日,那人和他妻子夏娃同房,夏娃就懷孕,生了該隱[a],便說:「耶和華使我得了一個男子。」 2 又生了該隱的兄弟亞伯。亞伯是牧羊的,該隱是種地的。 3 有一日,該隱拿地裡的出產為供物獻給耶和華, 4 亞伯也將他羊群中頭生的和羊的脂油獻上。耶和華看中了亞伯和他的供物, 5 只是看不中該隱和他的供物。該隱就大大地發怒,變了臉色。 6 耶和華對該隱說:「你為什麼發怒呢?你為什麼變了臉色呢? 7 你若行得好,豈不蒙悅納?你若行得不好,罪就伏在門前。它必戀慕你,你卻要制伏它。」
該隱殺其弟
8 該隱與他兄弟亞伯說話,二人正在田間,該隱起來打他兄弟亞伯,把他殺了。
9 耶和華對該隱說:「你兄弟亞伯在哪裡?」他說:「我不知道。我豈是看守我兄弟的嗎?」 10 耶和華說:「你做了什麼事呢?你兄弟的血有聲音從地裡向我哀告。 11 地開了口,從你手裡接受你兄弟的血,現在你必從這地受咒詛。 12 你種地,地不再給你效力;你必流離飄蕩在地上。」 13 該隱對耶和華說:「我的刑罰太重,過於我所能當的。 14 你如今趕逐我離開這地,以致不見你面,我必流離飄蕩在地上,凡遇見我的必殺我。」 15 耶和華對他說:「凡殺該隱的,必遭報七倍。」耶和華就給該隱立一個記號,免得人遇見他就殺他。
16 於是,該隱離開耶和華的面,去住在伊甸東邊挪得之地。 17 該隱與妻子同房,他妻子就懷孕,生了以諾。該隱建造了一座城,就按著他兒子的名,將那城叫做以諾。 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,一個名叫亞大,一個名叫洗拉。 20 亞大生雅八。雅八就是住帳篷、牧養牲畜之人的祖師。 21 雅八的兄弟名叫猶八,他是一切彈琴吹簫之人的祖師。 22 洗拉又生了土八該隱,他是打造各樣銅鐵利器的[b]。土八該隱的妹子是拿瑪。 23 拉麥對他兩個妻子說:「亞大、洗拉,聽我的聲音,拉麥的妻子,細聽我的話語:壯年人傷我,我把他殺了;少年人損我,我把他害了[c]。 24 若殺該隱遭報七倍,殺拉麥必遭報七十七倍。」
25 亞當又與妻子同房,她就生了一個兒子,起名叫塞特,意思說:「神另給我立了一個兒子代替亞伯,因為該隱殺了他。」 26 塞特也生了一個兒子,起名叫以挪士。那時候,人才求告耶和華的名。
Genesis 4
New International Version
Cain and Abel
4 Adam[a] made love to his wife(A) Eve,(B) and she became pregnant and gave birth to Cain.[b](C) She said, “With the help of the Lord I have brought forth[c] a man.” 2 Later she gave birth to his brother Abel.(D)
Now Abel kept flocks, and Cain worked the soil.(E) 3 In the course of time Cain brought some of the fruits of the soil as an offering(F) to the Lord.(G) 4 And Abel also brought an offering—fat portions(H) from some of the firstborn of his flock.(I) The Lord looked with favor on Abel and his offering,(J) 5 but on Cain and his offering he did not look with favor. So Cain was very angry, and his face was downcast.
6 Then the Lord said to Cain, “Why are you angry?(K) Why is your face downcast? 7 If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door;(L) it desires to have you, but you must rule over it.(M)”
8 Now Cain said to his brother Abel, “Let’s go out to the field.”[d] While they were in the field, Cain attacked his brother Abel and killed him.(N)
9 Then the Lord said to Cain, “Where is your brother Abel?”(O)
“I don’t know,(P)” he replied. “Am I my brother’s keeper?”
10 The Lord said, “What have you done? Listen! Your brother’s blood cries out to me from the ground.(Q) 11 Now you are under a curse(R) and driven from the ground, which opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand. 12 When you work the ground, it will no longer yield its crops for you.(S) You will be a restless wanderer(T) on the earth.(U)”
13 Cain said to the Lord, “My punishment is more than I can bear. 14 Today you are driving me from the land, and I will be hidden from your presence;(V) I will be a restless wanderer on the earth,(W) and whoever finds me will kill me.”(X)
15 But the Lord said to him, “Not so[e]; anyone who kills Cain(Y) will suffer vengeance(Z) seven times over.(AA)” Then the Lord put a mark on Cain so that no one who found him would kill him. 16 So Cain went out from the Lord’s presence(AB) and lived in the land of Nod,[f] east of Eden.(AC)
17 Cain made love to his wife,(AD) and she became pregnant and gave birth to Enoch. Cain was then building a city,(AE) and he named it after his son(AF) Enoch. 18 To Enoch was born Irad, and Irad was the father of Mehujael, and Mehujael was the father of Methushael, and Methushael was the father of Lamech.
19 Lamech married(AG) two women,(AH) one named Adah and the other Zillah. 20 Adah gave birth to Jabal; he was the father of those who live in tents and raise livestock. 21 His brother’s name was Jubal; he was the father of all who play stringed instruments(AI) and pipes.(AJ) 22 Zillah also had a son, Tubal-Cain, who forged(AK) all kinds of tools out of[g] bronze and iron. Tubal-Cain’s sister was Naamah.
23 Lamech said to his wives,
“Adah and Zillah, listen to me;
wives of Lamech, hear my words.
I have killed(AL) a man for wounding me,
a young man for injuring me.
24 If Cain is avenged(AM) seven times,(AN)
then Lamech seventy-seven times.(AO)”
25 Adam made love to his wife(AP) again, and she gave birth to a son and named him Seth,[h](AQ) saying, “God has granted me another child in place of Abel, since Cain killed him.”(AR) 26 Seth also had a son, and he named him Enosh.(AS)
At that time people began to call on[i] the name of the Lord.(AT)

Caín y Abel
4 Y el hombre se unió a Eva, su mujer, y ella concibió y dio a luz a Caín[a], y dijo: «He adquirido varón[b] con la ayuda del Señor». 2 Después dio a luz a Abel su hermano. Y Abel(A) fue pastor(B) de ovejas y Caín fue labrador de la tierra. 3 Al transcurrir el tiempo[c], Caín trajo al Señor una ofrenda del fruto de la tierra. 4 También Abel(C), por su parte, trajo de los primogénitos de sus ovejas y de la grasa de los mismos. El Señor miró con agrado a Abel y su ofrenda(D), 5 pero no miró con agrado(E) a Caín y su ofrenda. Caín se enojó mucho(F) y su semblante se demudó. 6 Entonces el Señor dijo a Caín: «¿Por qué estás enojado(G), y por qué se ha demudado tu semblante? 7 Si haces bien, ¿no serás aceptado?[d](H) Pero si no haces bien, el pecado(I) yace a la puerta y te codicia[e], pero tú debes dominarlo(J)». 8 Caín dijo a su hermano Abel: «Vayamos al campo[f]». Y aconteció que cuando estaban en el campo, Caín se levantó contra su hermano Abel y lo mató(K).
La maldición de Caín
9 Entonces el Señor dijo a Caín: «¿Dónde está tu hermano Abel(L)?». Y él respondió: «No sé. ¿Soy yo acaso guardián de mi hermano?». 10 Y el Señor le dijo: «¿Qué has hecho? La voz de la sangre de tu hermano clama a Mí desde la tierra(M). 11 Ahora pues, maldito(N) eres de la tierra, que ha abierto su boca para recibir de tu mano la sangre de tu hermano. 12 Cuando cultives el suelo, no te dará más su vigor(O). Vagabundo y errante serás en la tierra(P)».
13 Y Caín dijo al Señor: «Mi castigo[g] es demasiado grande para soportarlo. 14 Hoy me has arrojado(Q) de la superficie de la tierra, y de Tu presencia[h] me esconderé, y seré vagabundo y errante en la tierra(R). Y sucederá que cualquiera que me halle me matará(S)». 15 Entonces el Señor le dijo: «No será así[i], pues cualquiera que mate a Caín, siete veces sufrirá venganza(T)». Y el Señor puso una señal[j] sobre Caín, para que cualquiera que lo hallara no lo matara(U).
Descendientes de Caín
16 Y salió Caín de la presencia del Señor(V), y se estableció[k] en la tierra de Nod[l], al oriente del Edén. 17 Y conoció Caín a su mujer, y ella concibió y dio a luz a Enoc. Caín edificó una ciudad y la llamó[m] Enoc, como el nombre de su hijo. 18 A Enoc le nació Irad. Irad fue padre de Mehujael, Mehujael fue padre de Metusael, y Metusael fue padre de Lamec. 19 Lamec tomó para sí dos mujeres(W). El nombre de una era Ada, y el nombre de la otra, Zila. 20 Y Ada dio a luz a Jabal, el cual fue padre de los que habitan en tiendas y tienen ganado. 21 Su hermano se llamaba Jubal, el cual fue padre de todos los que tocan la lira[n] y la flauta. 22 Zila a su vez dio a luz a Tubal Caín, forjador de todo utensilio[o] de bronce y de hierro. Y la hermana de Tubal Caín era Naama. 23 Lamec dijo a sus mujeres:
«Ada y Zila, oigan mi voz;
Mujeres de Lamec,
Presten oído a mis palabras,
Pues he dado muerte[p](X) a un hombre por haberme herido,
Y a un muchacho por haberme pegado.
24 -»Si siete veces(Y) es vengado Caín,
Entonces Lamec lo será setenta veces siete[q]».
Nacimiento de Set
25 Adán se unió otra vez a su mujer(Z); y ella dio a luz un hijo y le puso por nombre Set[r], porque, dijo ella: «Dios me ha dado[s] otro hijo[t] en lugar de Abel, pues Caín lo mató(AA)». 26 A Set le nació también un hijo y le puso por nombre Enós(AB). Por ese tiempo comenzaron los hombres a invocar[u] el nombre del Señor(AC).

Genesis 4
King James Version
4 And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the Lord.
2 And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.
3 And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the Lord.
4 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 But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.
6 And the Lord said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen?
7 If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.
8 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 And the Lord said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother's keeper?
10 And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground.
11 And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand;
12 When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth.
13 And Cain said unto the Lord, My punishment is greater than I can bear.
14 Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth; and from thy 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 findeth me shall slay me.
15 And the Lord said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the Lord set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him.
16 And Cain went out from the presence of the Lord, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.
17 And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch.
18 And unto Enoch was born Irad: and Irad begat Mehujael: and Mehujael begat Methusael: and Methusael begat Lamech.
19 And Lamech took unto him two wives: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah.
20 And Adah bare Jabal: he was the father of such as dwell in tents, and of such as have cattle.
21 And his brother's name was Jubal: he was the father of all such as handle the harp and organ.
22 And Zillah, she also bare Tubalcain, an instructer of every artificer in brass and iron: and the sister of Tubalcain was Naamah.
23 And Lamech said unto his wives, Adah and Zillah, Hear my voice; ye wives of Lamech, hearken unto my speech: for I have slain a man to my wounding, and a young man to my hurt.
24 If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, truly Lamech seventy and sevenfold.
25 And Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son, and called his name Seth: For God, said she, hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew.
26 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.
