Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1And Adam knew Eve his wife: who conceived and brought forth Cain, saying: I have gotten a man through God.
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。」
2And again she brought forth his brother Abel. And Abel was a shepherd, and Cain a husbandman.
2又生了 該隱 的兄弟 亞伯 。 亞伯 是牧羊的； 該隱 是種地的。
3And it came to pass after many days, that Cain offered, of the fruits of the earth, gifts to the Lord.
3有一日， 該隱 拿地裏的出產為供物獻給耶和華；
4Abel also offered of the firstlings of his flock, and of their fat: and the Lord had respect to Abel, and to his offerings.
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，
5But to Cain and his offerings he had no respect: and Cain was exceedingly angry, and his countenance fell.
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。
6And the Lord said to him: Why art thou angry? and why is thy countenance fallen?
6耶和華對 該隱 說：「你為甚麼發怒呢？你為甚麼變了臉色呢？
7If 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.
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。」
8And 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.
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。
9And the Lord said to Cain: Where is thy brother Abel? And he answered, I know not: am I my brother’s keeper?
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？」
10And he said to him: What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother’s blood crieth to me from the earth.
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。
11Now, therefore, cursed shalt thou be upon the earth, which hath opened her mouth and received the blood of thy brother at thy hand.
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。
12When thou shalt till it, it shall not yield to thee its fruit: a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be upon the earth.
12你種地，地不再給你效力；你必流離飄蕩在地上。」
13And Cain said to the Lord: My iniquity is greater than that I may deserve pardon.
13該隱 對耶和華說：「我的刑罰太重，過於我所能當的。
14Behold 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.
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。」
15And 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.
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。
16And Cain went out from the face of the Lord, and dwelt as a fugitive on the earth, at the east side of Eden.
16於是 該隱 離開耶和華的面，去住在 伊甸 東邊 挪得 之地。
17And 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.
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 。
18And Henoch begot Irad, and Irad begot Maviael, and Maviael begot Mathusael, and Mathusael begot Lamech:
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 。
19Who took two wives: the name of the one was Ada, and the name of the other Sella.
19拉麥 娶了兩個妻：一個名叫 亞大 ，一個名叫 洗拉 。
20And Ada brought forth Jabel: who was the father of such as dwell in tents, and of herdsmen.
20亞大 生 雅八 ； 雅八 就是住帳棚、牧養牲畜之人的祖師。
21And his brother’s name was Jubal; he was the father of them that play upon the harp and the organs.
21雅八 的兄弟名叫 猶八 ；他是一切彈琴吹簫之人的祖師。
22Sella also brought forth Tubalcain, who was a hammerer and artificer in every work of brass and iron. And the sister of Tubalcain was Noema.
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 。
23And 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.
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 。
24Sevenfold vengeance shall be taken for Cain: but for Lamech seventy times sevenfold.
24若殺 該隱 ，遭報七倍， 殺 拉麥 ，必遭報七十七倍。
25Adam 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.
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。」
26But to Seth also was born a son, whom he called Enos; this man began to call upon the name of the Lord.
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。
