创世记 4
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
該隱和亞伯
4 亞當和他的妻子夏娃同房，夏娃就懷孕，生了該隱，就說：“藉著耶和華的幫助，我得了一個男兒。” 2 她又生了該隱的弟弟亞伯。亞伯是牧羊的，該隱是種地的。 3 有一天，該隱把地裡的出產拿來，當作禮物獻給耶和華。 4 亞伯也把自己羊群中一些頭生的，和羊的脂油拿來獻上。耶和華看中了亞伯和他的禮物； 5 只是沒有看中該隱和他的禮物。該隱就非常忿怒，垂頭喪氣。 6 耶和華對該隱說：“你為甚麼忿怒呢？你為甚麼垂頭喪氣呢？ 7 你若行得好，豈不可以抬起頭來嗎？你若行得不好，罪就伏在門口了；它要纏住你，你卻要制伏它。” 8 該隱對他的弟弟亞伯說：“我們到田間去吧。”（《馬索拉文本》缺“我們到田間去吧”一句，現參照其他抄本及古譯本補上。），該隱就起來襲擊他的弟弟亞伯，把他殺了。
9 耶和華問該隱：“你的弟弟亞伯在哪裡？”他回答：“我不知道；難道我是看守我弟弟的嗎？” 10 耶和華說：“你作了甚麼事呢？你弟弟的血有聲音從地裡向我呼叫。 11 地開了口，從你手裡接受了你弟弟的血，現在你要從這地受咒詛。 12 你種地，地也不再給你效力；你必在地上流離失所。” 13 該隱對耶和華說：“我的刑罰太重，過於我所能擔當。 14 看哪，今日你趕逐我離開這地，以致我要躲避你的面；我必在地上流離失所，遇見我的，都要殺我。” 15 耶和華對該隱說：“絕不會這樣，殺該隱的，必遭報七倍。”耶和華就給該隱立了一個記號，免得遇見他的人擊殺他。
16 於是該隱從耶和華面前出去，住在伊甸東邊的挪得地。
該隱的後代
17 該隱和妻子同房，她就懷孕，生了以諾。該隱建造了一座城，就按著他兒子的名，給那城叫作以諾。 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，一個名叫亞大，另一個名叫洗拉。 20 亞大生雅八，雅八就是居住帳棚、牧養牲畜的人的鼻祖。 21 雅八的兄弟名叫猶八；猶八是所有彈琴吹簫的人的鼻祖。 22 洗拉也生了土八．該隱，就是打造各種銅鐵器具的匠人；土八．該隱的妹妹是拿瑪。 23 拉麥對他的兩個妻子說：
“亞大和洗拉，要聽我的聲音；
拉麥的妻子，聆聽我的話：
壯年人傷我，我必殺他；
青年人損我，我必害他；
24 人若殺該隱，要遭報七倍；
人若殺拉麥，必遭報七十七倍！”
塞特和以挪士
25 亞當又和妻子同房，她就生了一個兒子，給他起名叫塞特，因為她說：“ 神給我立了另一個後裔代替亞伯，因為該隱殺了他。” 26 塞特也生了一個兒子，就給他起名叫以挪士。那時人才開始呼求耶和華的名。
Genesis 4
New International Reader's Version
Cain and Abel
4 Adam loved his wife Eve and slept with her. She became pregnant and gave birth to Cain. She said, “With the Lord’s help I have had a baby boy.” 2 Later she gave birth to his brother Abel.
Abel took care of sheep. Cain farmed the land. 3 After some time, Cain gathered some things he had grown. He brought them as an offering to the Lord. 4 And Abel also brought an offering. He brought the fattest parts of some animals from his flock. They were the first animals born to their mothers. The Lord was pleased with Abel and his offering. 5 But he wasn’t pleased with Cain and his offering. So Cain became very angry, and his face was sad.
6 Then the Lord said to Cain, “Why are you angry? Why are you looking so sad? 7 Do what is right and then you will be accepted. If you don’t do what is right, sin is waiting at your door to grab you. It desires to control you. But you must rule over it.”
8 Cain said to his brother Abel, “Let’s go out to the field.” So they went out. There Cain attacked his brother Abel and killed him.
9 Then the Lord said to Cain, “Where is your brother Abel?”
“I don’t know,” Cain replied. “Am I supposed to take care of my brother?”
10 The Lord said, “What have you done? Listen! Your brother’s blood is crying out to me from the ground. 11 So I am putting a curse on you. I am driving you away from this ground. It has opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand. 12 When you farm the land, it will not produce its crops for you anymore. You will be a restless person who wanders around on the earth.”
13 Cain said to the Lord, “You are punishing me more than I can take. 14 Today you are driving me away from the land. I will be hidden from you. I’ll be a restless person who wanders around on the earth. Anyone who finds me will kill me.”
15 But the Lord said to him, “No. Anyone who kills you will be paid back seven times.” The Lord put a mark on Cain. Then anyone who found him wouldn’t kill him. 16 So Cain went away from the Lord. He lived in the land of Nod. It was east of Eden.
17 Cain loved his wife and slept with her. She became pregnant and gave birth to Enoch. At that time Cain was building a city. He named it after his son Enoch. 18 Enoch had a son named Irad. Irad was the father of Mehujael. Mehujael was the father of Methushael. And Methushael was the father of Lamech.
19 Lamech married two women. One was named Adah, and the other was named Zillah. 20 Adah gave birth to Jabal. He was the father of people who live in tents and raise livestock. 21 His brother’s name was Jubal. He was the father of everyone who plays stringed instruments and wind instruments. 22 Zillah also had a son. His name was Tubal-Cain. He made all kinds of tools out of bronze and iron. Tubal-Cain’s sister was Naamah.
23 Lamech said to his wives,
“Adah and Zillah, listen to me!
You wives of Lamech, hear my words!
I have killed a man because he wounded me.
I have killed a young man because he hurt me.
24 Anyone who would have killed Cain would have been paid back seven times.
But anyone who hurts me will be paid back 77 times.”
25 Adam slept with his wife again. She gave birth to a son and named him Seth. She said, “God has given me another child. He will take the place of Abel, because Cain killed him.” 26 Seth also had a son and named him Enosh.
Then people began to call on the name of the Lord.
