創世記 4
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
該隱和亞伯
4 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。」 2 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。
3 到了收成的時候，該隱把地裡的出產當祭物獻給耶和華， 4 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， 5 卻不悅納該隱和他的祭物。該隱便非常惱火，面帶怒容。 6 耶和華問該隱：「你為什麼惱火？為什麼面帶怒容？ 7 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。」
8 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。
9 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。
Genesis 4
Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition
4 And Adam knew Eve his wife: who conceived and brought forth Cain, saying: I have gotten a man through God.
2 And again she brought forth his brother Abel. And Abel was a shepherd, and Cain a husbandman.
3 And it came to pass after many days, that Cain offered, of the fruits of the earth, gifts to the Lord.
4 Abel also offered of the firstlings of his flock, and of their fat: and the Lord had respect to Abel, and to his offerings.
5 But to Cain and his offerings he had no respect: and Cain was exceedingly angry, and his countenance fell.
6 And the Lord said to him: Why art thou angry? and why is thy countenance fallen?
7 If thou do well, shalt thou not receive? but if ill, shall not sin forthwith be present at the door? but the lust thereof shall be under thee, and thou shalt have dominion over it.
8 And Cain said to Abel his brother: Let us go forth abroad. And when they were in the field, Cain rose up against his brother Abel, and slew him.
9 And the Lord said to Cain: Where is thy brother Abel? And he answered, I know not: am I my brother's keeper?
10 And he said to him: What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth to me from the earth.
11 Now, therefore, cursed shalt thou be upon the earth, which hath opened her mouth and received the blood of thy brother at thy hand.
12 When thou shalt till it, it shall not yield to thee its fruit: a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be upon the earth.
13 And Cain said to the Lord: My iniquity is greater than that I may deserve pardon.
14 Behold thou dost cast me out this day from the face of the earth, and I shall be hidden from thy face, and I shall be a vagabond and a fugitive on the earth: every one, therefore, that findeth me, shall kill me.
15 And the Lord said to him: No, it shall not be so: but whosoever shall kill Cain, shall be punished sevenfold. And the Lord set a mark upon Cain, that whosoever found him should not kill him.
16 And Cain went out from the face of the Lord, and dwelt as a fugitive on the earth, at the east side of Eden.
17 And Cain knew his wife, and she conceived, and brought forth Henoch: and he built a city, and called the name thereof by the name of his son Henoch.
18 And Henoch begot Irad, and Irad begot Maviael, and Maviael begot Mathusael, and Mathusael begot Lamech:
19 Who took two wives: the name of the one was Ada, and the name of the other Sella.
20 And Ada brought forth Jabel: who was the father of such as dwell in tents, and of herdsmen.
21 And his brother's name was Jubal; he was the father of them that play upon the harp and the organs.
22 Sella also brought forth Tubalcain, who was a hammerer and artificer in every work of brass and iron. And the sister of Tubalcain was Noema.
23 And Lamech said to his wives Ada and Sella: Hear my voice, ye wives of Lamech, hearken to my speech: for I have slain a man to the wounding of myself, and a stripling to my own bruising.
24 Sevenfold vengeance shall be taken for Cain: but for Lamech seventy times sevenfold.
25 Adam also knew his wife again: and she brought forth a son, and called his name Seth, saying: God hath given me another seed, for Abel whom Cain slew.
26 But to Seth also was born a son, whom he called Enos; this man began to call upon the name of the Lord.
