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

¹In Adam je spoznal Evo, ženo svojo, in spočela je in rodila Kajna [T. j. dobiček.] ter rekla: Dobila sem moža s pomočjo GOSPODA.

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

²In zopet je rodila brata njegovega Abela [T. j. sapa ali ničevost.]. In bil je Abel pastir ovac in Kajn je bil kmetovalec.

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

³Zgodi se pa čez mnogo dni, da prinese Kajn daritev od sadu zemeljskega GOSPODU.

⁴And 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:

⁴In tudi Abel prinese od prvencev črede svoje in od njih tolšče. In ozre se GOSPOD na Abela in na daritev njegovo;

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

⁵a na Kajna in daritev njegovo se ne ozre. In raztogoti se Kajn silno in upade obličje njegovo.

⁶And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen?

⁶Tedaj reče GOSPOD Kajnu: Zakaj si se raztogotil in zakaj je upadlo obličje tvoje?

⁷If 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.

⁷Ne bode li ti, če dobro delaš, povišanja? če pa ne delaš dobrega, preži greh pred durmi, in proti tebi je poželenje njegovo, a ti mu gospoduj!

⁸And 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.

⁸In govoril je Kajn z bratom svojim Abelom. Zgodi se pa, ko sta bila na polju, da se vzpne Kajn nad Abela, brata svojega, ter ga ubije.

⁹And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother's keeper?

⁹In reče GOSPOD Kajnu: Kje je Abel, brat tvoj? On pa odgovori: Ne vem; sem li jaz varuh brata svojega?

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

¹⁰In mu reče: Kaj si storil? Glas krvi brata tvojega vpije z zemlje do mene.

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

¹¹Ti torej bodi sedaj proklet in pregnan z zemlje, ki je odprla usta svoja, da prejme kri brata tvojega iz roke tvoje.

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

¹²Ko bodeš obdeloval zemljo, ne dá ti odslej moči svoje; potikal se boš in begal po zemlji.

¹³And Cain said unto the LORD, My punishment is greater than I can bear.

¹³Tedaj reče Kajn GOSPODU: Prevelika je krivda moja, da bi jo prenašal!

¹⁴Behold, 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.

¹⁴Glej, izganjaš me danes s tal te zemlje, in pred obličjem tvojim se mi je skrivati, in se bodem potikal in begal po zemlji, in zgodi se, kdor koli me dobi, me ubije.

¹⁵And 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.

¹⁵Reče pa mu GOSPOD: Zato, kdorkoli ubije Kajna, kaznovan bodi sedemkrat. In GOSPOD je zaznamenjal Kajna, da bi ga ne ubil nihče, kdor ga dobi.

¹⁶And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.

¹⁶Kajn torej odide izpred obličja GOSPODOVEGA in se naseli v deželi Nodi [T. j. pregnanstvo.], vzhodno od Edena.

¹⁷And 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.

¹⁷In spozna Kajn ženo svojo, in je spočela in rodila Enoha. In zidal je mesto, in imenoval je tisto mesto po imenu sina svojega Enoh.

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

¹⁸Potem se rodi Enohu Irad, in Irad rodi Mehujaela, Mehujael pa rodi Metuzaela, in Metuzael rodi Lameha.

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

¹⁹Lameh pa si vzame dve ženi, prvi je bilo ime Ada, in ime drugi Zila.

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

²⁰In Ada rodi Jabala; ta je bil oče prebivajočih v šatorih in pastirjev.

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

²¹In ime brata njegovega je bilo Jubal; ta je bil oče vseh, ki se pečajo s strunami in piščalmi.

²²And Zillah, she also bare Tubalcain, an instructer of every artificer in brass and iron: and the sister of Tubalcain was Naamah.

²²Zila pa tudi rodi Tubalkajna, ki je bil kovač vsakršnega ostrega orodja iz brona in železa. In sestra Tubalkajnova je bila Naema.

²³And 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.

²³In Lameh je dejal ženama svojima: O Ada in Zila, čujta glas moj, ženi Lamehovi, poslušajta govor moj: Res, moža sem ubil za rano svojo in mladeniča za bulo svojo.

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

²⁴Ako je sedemkrat maščevati Kajna, Lameha bo sedemdesetkrat in sedemkrat!

²⁵And 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.

²⁵Spozna pa Adam zopet ženo svojo, in rodila je sina in ga je imenovala Seta: Kajti, reče, povrnil mi je Bog seme drugo za Abela, ker ga je Kajn ubil.In tudi Setu se je rodil sin in imenoval je ime njegovo Enos. Tedaj so začeli klicati ime GOSPODOVO.

²⁶And 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.

²⁶In tudi Setu se je rodil sin in imenoval je ime njegovo Enos. Tedaj so začeli klicati ime GOSPODOVO.
