¹Ja Aadam sai ühte oma naise Eevaga, kes jäi lapseootele ja tõi Kaini ilmale ning ütles: 'Ma olen Issanda abiga mehe ilmale toonud.'

¹The man knew Eve his wife. She conceived, and gave birth to Cain, and said, “I have gotten a man with Yahweh’s help.”

²Ja tema sünnitas taas: ta venna Aabeli. Ja Aabel oli lambakarjane, Kain aga oli põllumees.

²Again she gave birth, to Cain’s brother Abel. Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.

³Ja mõne aja pärast juhtus, et Kain tõi Issandale roaohvri maaviljast,

³As time passed, it happened that Cain brought an offering to Yahweh from the fruit of the ground.

⁴ja ka Aabel tõi oma lammaste esimesest soost ning nende rasvast, ja Issand vaatas Aabeli ja tema roaohvri peale,

⁴Abel also brought some of the firstborn of his flock and of its fat. Yahweh respected Abel and his offering,

⁵aga Kaini ja tema roaohvri peale ta ei vaadanud. Siis Kain vihastus väga ja lõi pilgu maha.

⁵but he didn’t respect Cain and his offering. Cain was very angry, and the expression on his face fell.

⁶Ja Issand küsis Kainilt: 'Mispärast sa vihastud? Ja mispärast sa pilgu maha lööd?

⁶Yahweh said to Cain, “Why are you angry? Why has the expression of your face fallen?

⁷Eks ole: kui sa head teed, siis on su pilk tõstetud üles? Aga kui sa head ei tee, siis luurab patt ukse ees ja himustab sind. Kuid sina pead tema üle valitsema!'

⁷If you do well, will it not 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.”

⁸Ja Kain ütles oma vennale Aabelile: 'Lähme väljale!' Ja kui nad väljal olid, tungis Kain oma venna Aabeli kallale ja tappis tema.

⁸Cain said to Abel, his brother, “Let’s go into the field.” It happened when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel, his brother, and killed him.

⁹Aga Issand küsis Kainilt: 'Kus on su vend Aabel?' Ja tema vastas: 'Ei mina tea. Kas ma olen oma venna hoidja?'

⁹Yahweh said to Cain, “Where is Abel, your brother?” He said, “I don’t know. Am I my brother’s keeper?”

¹⁰Ja tema ütles: 'Mis sa oled teinud? Sinu venna vere hääl kisendab maa pealt minu poole!

¹⁰Yahweh said, “What have you done? The voice of your brother’s blood cries to me from the ground.

¹¹Aga nüüd ole sa neetud siit maa pealt, mis oma suu on avanud, su venna verd sinu käest vastu võttes!

¹¹Now you are cursed because of the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand.

¹²Kui sa harid maad, siis see ei anna sulle enam oma rammu. Sa pead maa peal olema hulkur ja põgenik!'

¹²From now on, when you till the ground, it won’t yield its strength to you. You shall be a fugitive and a wanderer in the earth.”

¹³Ja Kain ütles Issandale: 'Mu karistus on suurem, kui ma suudan kanda!

¹³Cain said to Yahweh, “My punishment is greater than I can bear.

¹⁴Vaata, sa oled mind täna ära ajanud siit maalt ja ma pean varjule minema su palge eest ning maa peal olema hulkur ja põgenik. Ja igaüks, kes mind leiab, tapab mu.'

¹⁴Behold, you have driven me out this day from the surface of the ground. I will be hidden from your face, and I will be a fugitive and a wanderer in the earth. It will happen that whoever finds me will kill me.”

¹⁵Ja Issand ütles temale: 'Ei, sugugi mitte, vaid igaühele, kes Kaini tapab, peab seitsmekordselt kätte makstama!' Ja Issand pani Kainile märgi, et leidja teda maha ei lööks.

¹⁵Yahweh said to him, “Therefore whoever slays Cain, vengeance will be taken on him sevenfold.” Yahweh appointed a sign for Cain, lest any finding him should strike him.

¹⁶Ja Kain läks ära Issanda palge eest ning elas Noodimaal, hommiku pool Eedenit.

¹⁶Cain went out from Yahweh’s presence, and lived in the land of Nod, east of Eden.

¹⁷Ja Kain sai ühte oma naisega, kes jäi lapseootele ja tõi ilmale Hanoki; ja ta ehitas ühe linna ning nimetas selle linna oma poja Hanoki nime järgi.

¹⁷Cain knew his wife. She conceived, and gave birth to Enoch. He built a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch.

¹⁸Ja Hanokile sündis Iirad, Iiradile sündis Mehuujael, Mehuujaelile sündis Metuusael, Metuusaelile sündis Lemek.

¹⁸To Enoch was born Irad. Irad became the father of Mehujael. Mehujael became the father of Methushael. Methushael became the father of Lamech.

¹⁹Ja Lemek võttis enesele kaks naist: ühe nimi oli Aada ja teise nimi oli Silla.

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

²⁰Ja Aada tõi ilmale Jaabali, kes sai nende isaks, kes elasid telkides ja kasvatasid karja.

²⁰Adah gave birth to Jabal, who was the father of those who dwell in tents and have livestock.

²¹Ja tema venna nimi oli Juubal, kes sai kõigi kandlelööjate ja vilepuhujate isaks.

²¹His brother’s name was Jubal, who was the father of all who handle the harp and pipe.

²²Ja Silla tõi ilmale Tuubal-Kaini, kes õpetas sepist taguma kõiki, kes tegid vask- ja raudsepa tööd; ja Tuubal-Kaini õde oli Naama.

²²Zillah also gave birth to Tubal Cain, the forger of every cutting instrument of brass and iron. Tubal Cain’s sister was Naamah.

²³Ja Lemek ütles oma naistele: 'Aada ja Silla, kuulge mu häält, te Lemeki naised, pange tähele mu kõnet! Jah, haava pärast ma tapan mehe ja verme pärast nooruki!

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.

²⁴Kui Kaini pärast makstakse kätte seitse korda, siis Lemeki pärast seitsekümmend seitse korda!'

²⁴If Cain will be avenged seven times, truly Lamech seventy-seven times.”

²⁵Ja Aadam sai taas ühte oma naisega, kes tõi ilmale poja ja pani temale nimeks Sett, öeldes: 'Jumal andis mulle teise järeltulija Aabeli asemele, kuna Kain ta tappis.'

²⁵Adam knew his wife again. She gave birth to a son, and named him Seth, “for God has appointed me another child instead of Abel, for Cain killed him.”

²⁶Ja Setile sündis ka poeg, ja ta pani temale nimeks Enos. Sel ajal hakati Issanda nime appi hüüdma.

²⁶There was also born a son to Seth, and he named him Enosh. Then men began to call on Yahweh’s name.
