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

¹A Adam poznal Evu, svoju ženu, a počala a porodila Kaina, a riekla: Nadobudla som muža s Hospodinom.

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

²A zase porodila jeho brata Ábela. A Ábel pásol ovce, a Kain obrábal zem.

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

³A stalo sa po čase, že Kain doniesol Hospodinovi obetný dar z plodu zeme:

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

⁴A doniesol aj Ábel z prvorodených svojho stáda a z ich tuku. A Hospodin pohliadol milostive na Ábela a na jeho obetný dar.

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

⁵Ale na Kaina ani na jeho obetný dar nepohliadol, a preto sa Kain veľmi rozpálil hnevom, tak, že opadla jeho tvár.

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

⁶A Hospodin riekol Kainovi: Prečo si sa rozpálil hnevom, a prečo opadla tvoja tvár?

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.”

⁷Či, keď budeš dobre robiť, nebude povznesená a veselá? A keď nebudeš dobre robiť, hriech leží pri dveriach, a jeho túžba sa nesie po tebe. Ale ty budeš panovať nad ním!

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.

⁸Na to zase hovoril Kain s Ábelom, svojím bratom. Ale stalo sa potom, keď boli na poli, že povstal Kain na Ábela, svojho brata, a zabil ho.

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

⁹A Hospodin riekol Kainovi: Kde je Ábel, tvoj brat? A Kain povedal: Neviem. Či som ja strážcom svojho brata?

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

¹⁰A Hospodin riekol: Čo si to urobil? Hlas krvi tvojho brata volá ku mne zo zeme!

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

¹¹A ty teraz budeš zlorečený nad tú zem, ktorá otvorila svoje ústa, aby prijala krv tvojho brata z tvojej ruky.

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.”

¹²Keď budeš obrábať zem, nebude ti viacej vydávať svojej sily. Behúňom a tulákom budeš na zemi.

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

¹³Vtedy povedal Kain Hospodinovi: Moja neprávosť je väčšia, než aby mi mohla byť odpustená.

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.”

¹⁴Hľa, zaháňaš ma dnes s tvári zeme a zpred svojej tvári, budem sa skrývať a budem tulákom a behúňom na zemi, a stane sa, že ktokoľvek ma najde, zabije ma.

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.

¹⁵A Hospodin mu riekol: Pre tú príčinu, ktokoľvek by zabil Kaina, na tom bude pomstené sedemnásobne. A Hospodin položil znamenie na Kaina, aby ho nikto nezabil, nech by ho našiel ktokoľvek.

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

¹⁶A tak vyšiel Kain zpred tvári Hospodinovej a býval v zemi Nóda východne od Édena.

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.

¹⁷A Kain poznal svoju ženu, a počala a porodila Hanocha. A staväl mesto a nazval meno mesta podľa mena svojho syna Hanochom.

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

¹⁸A Hanochovi sa narodil Irád, a Irád splodil Mechujaela, a Mechijael splodil Metušaela, a Matušael splodil Lámecha.

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

¹⁹A Lámech si vzal dve ženy; jednej bolo meno Ada, a meno druhej bolo Cilla.

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

²⁰A Ada porodila Jabala; ten bol otcom tých, ktorí bývajú v stánoch a pasú stádo.

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

²¹A meno jeho brata bolo Júbal; ten bol otcom všetkých, ktorí hrajú na harfu a pískajú na píšťalu.

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

²²I Cilla porodila Tubalkaina, kováča, otca to všetkých, ktorí pracujú z medi a zo železa. A sestra Tubalkainova bola Naama.

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.

²³A Lámech povedal svojim ženám, Ade a Cille: Počujte môj hlas, ženy Lámechove! Ušima pozorujte moju reč! Lebo som zabil muža pre svoju ranu a mládenca pre svoju modrinu.

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

²⁴Lebo vraj sedem ráz má byť pomstený Kain, ale pre Lámecha bude pomstené sedemdesiatsedem ráz!

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.”

²⁵A Adam ešte poznal svoju ženu, a porodila syna a nazvala jeho meno Set, lebo vraj Bôh mi dal náhradou iné semä namiesto Ábela, keď ho zabil Kain.

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

²⁶I Setovi sa narodil syn, a nazval jeho meno Enoš. Vtedy začali vzývať meno Hospodinovo.
