創世記 4
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
World English Bible
1有一日，那人和他妻子 夏娃 同房， 夏娃 就懷孕，生了 該隱 ，便說：「耶和華使我得了一個男子。」
1The man knew Eve his wife. She conceived, and gave birth to Cain, and said, “I have gotten a man with the LORD’s help.”
2又生了 該隱 的兄弟 亞伯 。 亞伯 是牧羊的； 該隱 是種地的。
2Again she gave birth, to Cain’s brother Abel. Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.
3有一日， 該隱 拿地裏的出產為供物獻給耶和華；
3As time passed, Cain brought an offering to the LORD from the fruit of the ground.
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，
4Abel also brought some of the firstborn of his flock and of its fat. The LORD respected Abel and his offering,
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。
5but he didn’t respect Cain and his offering. Cain was very angry, and the expression on his face fell.
6耶和華對 該隱 說：「你為甚麼發怒呢？你為甚麼變了臉色呢？
6The LORD said to Cain, “Why are you angry? Why has the expression of your face fallen?
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。」
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.”
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。
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.
9耶和華對 該隱 說：「你兄弟 亞伯 在哪裏？」他說：「我不知道！我豈是看守我兄弟的嗎？」
9The LORD said to Cain, “Where is Abel, your brother?” He said, “I don’t know. Am I my brother’s keeper?”
10耶和華說：「你做了甚麼事呢？你兄弟的血有聲音從地裏向我哀告。
10The LORD said, “What have you done? The voice of your brother’s blood cries to me from the ground.
11地開了口，從你手裏接受你兄弟的血。現在你必從這地受咒詛。
11Now you are cursed because of the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand.
12你種地，地不再給你效力；你必流離飄蕩在地上。」
12From now on, when you till the ground, it won’t yield its strength to you. You will be a fugitive and a wanderer on the earth.”
13該隱 對耶和華說：「我的刑罰太重，過於我所能當的。
13Cain said to the LORD, “My punishment is greater than I can bear.
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。」
14Behold, you have driven me out today from the surface of the ground. I will be hidden from your face, and I will be a fugitive and a wanderer on the earth. Whoever finds me will kill me.”
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。
15The LORD said to him, “Therefore whoever slays Cain, vengeance will be taken on him sevenfold.” The LORD appointed a sign for Cain, so that anyone finding him would not strike him.
16於是 該隱 離開耶和華的面，去住在 伊甸 東邊 挪得 之地。
16Cain left the LORD’s presence, and lived in the land of Nod, east of Eden.
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，就按着他兒子的名將那城叫做 以諾 。
17Cain knew his wife. She conceived, and gave birth to Enoch. He built a city, and named the city after the name of his son, Enoch.
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 。
18Irad was born to Enoch. Irad became the father of Mehujael. Mehujael became the father of Methushael. Methushael became the father of Lamech.
19拉麥 娶了兩個妻：一個名叫 亞大 ，一個名叫 洗拉 。
19Lamech took two wives: the name of the first one was Adah, and the name of the second one was Zillah.
20亞大 生 雅八 ； 雅八 就是住帳棚、牧養牲畜之人的祖師。
20Adah gave birth to Jabal, who was the father of those who dwell in tents and have livestock.
21雅八 的兄弟名叫 猶八 ；他是一切彈琴吹簫之人的祖師。
21His brother’s name was Jubal, who was the father of all who handle the harp and pipe.
22洗拉 又生了 土八‧該隱 ；他是打造各樣銅鐵利器的。 土八‧該隱 的妹子是 拿瑪 。
22Zillah also gave birth to Tubal Cain, the forger of every cutting instrument of bronze and iron. Tubal Cain’s sister was Naamah.
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 。
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.
24若殺 該隱 ，遭報七倍， 殺 拉麥 ，必遭報七十七倍。
24If Cain will be avenged seven times, truly Lamech seventy-seven times.”
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：「上帝另給我立了一個兒子代替 亞伯 ，因為 該隱 殺了他。」
25Adam knew his wife again. She gave birth to a son, and named him Seth, saying, “for God has given me another child instead of Abel, for Cain killed him.”
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。
26A son was also born to Seth, and he named him Enosh. At that time men began to call on the LORD’s name.
