1 A nd Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the Lord.

وَعاشَرَ آدَمُ امرَأتَهُ حَوّاءُ. فَحَمَلَتْ وَوَلَدَتْ قايِينَ إذْ قالَتْ: «اقْتَنَيتُ رَجُلاً بِمَعُونَةِ اللهِ.»

2 A nd she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.

وَكَذَلِكَ أنجَبَتْ أخاهُ هابِيلَ. وَعَمِلَ هابِيلُ راعِياً، وَأمّا قايِينُ فَعَمِلَ فَلّاحاً. أوّلُ جَريمةِ قتل

3 A nd in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the Lord.

وَحِينَ جاءَ وَقْتُ الحَصادِ، أحضَرَ قايِينُ بَعضَ ثِمارِ الأرْضِ، وَقَدَّمَها قُرْباناً للهِ.

4 A nd 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:

كَما قَدَّمَ هابِيلُ قُرْباناً مِنْ أبْكارِ غَنَمِهِ وَأسْمَنِها. فَنَظَرَ اللهُ بِرِضَىً إلَى هابِيلَ وَقُرْبانِهِ.

5 b ut unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.

لَكِنَّهُ لَمْ يَنْظُرْ بِرِضَىً إلَى قايِينَ وَقُرْبانِهِ. فاغتاظَ قايِينُ وَأُحبِطَ.

6 A nd the Lord said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen?

فَقالَ اللهُ لِقايِينَ: «ما الَّذِي أغضَبَكَ، وَما الَّذِي أحبَطَكَ؟

7 I f 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.

إنْ كُنْتَ فَعَلْتَ الصَّوابَ، أفَلا أقْبَلُكَ؟ وَإنْ لَمْ تَفْعَلْ، فَإنَّ الخَطِيَّةَ مُتَرَبِّصَةٌ بِكَ عَلَى البابِ. هِيَ تُرِيدُ أنْ تَسُودَ عَلَيكَ، لَكِنْ يَنبَغِي أنْ تَسُودَ عَلَيها.»

8 A nd 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.

وَقالَ قايِينُ لِهابِيلَ أخِيهِ: «هَيّا بِنا إلَى الحَقلِ.» وَبَينَما هُما فِي الحَقلِ، هَجَمَ قايِينُ عَلَى أخِيهِ هابِيلَ وَقَتَلَهُ.

9 A nd the Lord said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother’s keeper?

فَقالَ اللهُ لِقايِينَ: «أينَ أخُوكَ؟» أجابَ قايِينُ: «وَما أدْرانِي؟ أأنا حَارِسٌ لِأخِي؟»

10 A nd he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother’s blood crieth unto me from the ground.

فَقالَ: «ما الَّذِي فَعَلْتَهُ؟ دَمُ أخِيكَ يَصْرخُ إلَيَّ مِنَ الأرْضِ.

11 A nd now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother’s blood from thy hand;

فَالآنَ أنْتَ مَلْعُونٌ وَمَنْفِيٌّ مِنَ الأرْضِ الَّتِي فَتَحَتْ فَمَها لِتَشْرَبَ دَمَ أخِيكَ مِنْ يَدَيكَ.

12 w hen thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth.

فَحِينَ تَفلَحُ الأرْضَ، لَنْ تُعطِيَكَ أفْضَلَ مَحاصِيلِها. وَسَتَكُونُ فِي الأرْضِ طَرِيداً وَهائِماً.»

13 A nd Cain said unto the Lord, My punishment is greater than I can bear.

فَقالَ قايِينُ للهِ: «عِقابِي أعظَمُ مِنْ أنْ أحتَمِلَهُ.

14 B ehold, 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.

ها أنْتَ قَدْ طَرَدتَنِي اليَوْمَ مِنَ الأرْضِ، وَحَجَبْتَ عَنِّي وَجهَكَ. سَأكُونُ طَرِيداً وَهائِماً فِي الأرْضِ. فَمَنْ يَجِدُنِي سَيَقْتُلُنِي.»

15 A nd 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.

فَقالَ اللهُ لِقايِينَ: «بَلْ سَأنتَقِمُ سَبْعَةَ أضْعافٍ مِنْ أيِّ إنْسانٍ يَقْتُلُ قايِينَ.» ثُمَّ وَضَعَ اللهُ عَلامَةً عَلَى قايِينَ لِئَلّا يَقْتُلَهُ مَنْ يَجِدُهُ. عائلةُ قايِين

16 A nd Cain went out from the presence of the Lord, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.

وَهَكَذا خَرَجَ قايِينُ مِنْ حَضْرَةِ اللهِ ، وَسَكَنَ فِي أرْضِ نُودٍ شَرْقِيَّ عَدَنٍ.

17 A nd 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.

فَعاشَرَ قايِينُ زَوْجَتَهُ فَحَمَلَتْ وَأنجَبَتْ حَنُوكَ. وَبَنَى قايِينُ مَدِينَةً، وَسَمّاها عَلَى اسْمِ ابْنِهِ حَنُوكَ.

18 A nd unto Enoch was born Irad: and Irad begat Mehujael: and Mehujael begat Methusael: and Methusael begat Lamech.

وَأنجَبَ حَنُوكُ ابْناً سَمّاهُ عِيرادِ. وَأنجَبَ عِيرادُ ابْناً سَمّاهُ مَحُويائِيلَ. وَأنجَبَ مَحُويائِيلُ ابْناً سَمّاهُ مَتُوشائِيلَ. وَأنجَبَ مَتُوشائِيلُ ابْناً سَمّاهُ لامَكَ.

19 A nd Lamech took unto him two wives: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah.

وَتَزَوَّجَ لامِكُ امْرَأتَينِ. اسْمُ إحْداهِما عادَةَ، وَالثَّانِيَةُ صِلَّةَ.

20 A nd Adah bare Jabal: he was the father of such as dwell in tents, and of such as have cattle.

وَأنجَبَتْ عادَةُ يابالَ وَكانَ أباً لِلَّذِينَ يَسْكُنُونَ الخِيامَ وَيُرَبُّونَ الماشِيَةَ.

21 A nd his brother’s name was Jubal: he was the father of all such as handle the harp and organ.

وَكانَ لَهُ أخٌ اسْمُهُ يُوبالُ. وَكانَ أباً لِلَّذِينَ يَعزِفُونَ عَلَى القِيثارِ وَالنّايِ.

22 A nd Zillah, she also bare Tubal-cain, an instructer of every artificer in brass and iron: and the sister of Tubal-cain was Naamah.

وَوَلَدَتْ صِلَّةُ تُوبالَ قايِينَ. وَكانَ أباً لِلَّذِينَ يَطرُقُونَ البُرونْزَ وَالحَدِيدَ. وَكانَتْ لِتُوبالَ قايِينَ أختٌ اسْمُها نِعْمَةُ.

23 A nd 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.

وَقالَ لامَكُ لِزَوْجَتَيهِ: «يا زَوْجَتَيَّ، يا عادَةُ وَيا صِلَّةُ، أصغِيا إلَيَّ جَيِّداً، وَانتَبِها لِما أقُولُ. إنِّي قَتَلْتُ رَجُلاً آذانِي. قَتَلْتُ فَتَىً لِأنَّهُ ضَرَبَنِي.

24 I f Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, truly Lamech seventy and sevenfold.

فَإذا كانَ يُنْتَقَمُ سَبْعَ مَرّاتٍ لِقايِينَ، فَإنَّهُ يُنْتَقَمُ لِلامَكَ سَبْعاً وَسَبْعِينَ مَرَّةً.» ابْنٌ آخرُ لآدَمَ وحوّاء

25 A nd 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.

وَعاشَرَ آدَمُ زَوجَتَهُ حَوّاءَ ثانِيَةً، فَأنجَبَتِ ابْناً أسْمَتْهُ شِيثاً إذْ قالَتْ: «أعطانِيَ اللهُ ابْناً آخَرَ عِوَضاً عَنْ هابِيلَ، لأنَّ قايِينَ قَتَلَهُ.»

26 A nd 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.

وَأنجَبَ شِيثٌ أيضاً ابْناً سَمّاهُ أنُوشَ. وَفِي ذَلِكَ الوَقتِ، بَدَأ النّاسُ يَنْطِقُونَ بِاسْمِ يهوه.
