Genesis 4

وَعَرَفَ آدَمُ حَوَّاءَ امْرَأَتَهُ فَحَبِلَتْ وَوَلَدَتْ قَايِينَ. وَقَالَتِ: «اقْتَنَيْتُ رَجُلاً مِنْ عِنْدِ الرَّبِّ».

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

ثُمَّ عَادَتْ فَوَلَدَتْ أَخَاهُ هَابِيلَ. وَكَانَ هَابِيلُ رَاعِيًا لِلْغَنَمِ، وَكَانَ قَايِينُ عَامِلاً فِي الأَرْضِ.

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

وَحَدَثَ مِنْ بَعْدِ أَيَّامٍ أَنَّ قَايِينَ قَدَّمَ مِنْ أَثْمَارِ الأَرْضِ قُرْبَانًا لِلرَّبِّ،

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

وَقَدَّمَ هَابِيلُ أَيْضًا مِنْ أَبْكَارِ غَنَمِهِ وَمِنْ سِمَانِهَا. فَنَظَرَ الرَّبُّ إِلَى هَابِيلَ وَقُرْبَانِهِ،

And 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:

وَلكِنْ إِلَى قَايِينَ وَقُرْبَانِهِ لَمْ يَنْظُرْ. فَاغْتَاظَ قَايِينُ جِدًّا وَسَقَطَ وَجْهُهُ.

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

فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِقَايِينَ: «لِمَاذَا اغْتَظْتَ؟ وَلِمَاذَا سَقَطَ وَجْهُكَ؟

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

إِنْ أَحْسَنْتَ أَفَلاَ رَفْعٌ؟ وَإِنْ لَمْ تُحْسِنْ فَعِنْدَ الْبَابِ خَطِيَّةٌ رَابِضَةٌ، وَإِلَيْكَ اشْتِيَاقُهَا وَأَنْتَ تَسُودُ عَلَيْهَا».

If 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.

وَكَلَّمَ قَايِينُ هَابِيلَ أَخَاهُ. وَحَدَثَ إِذْ كَانَا فِي الْحَقْلِ أَنَّ قَايِينَ قَامَ عَلَى هَابِيلَ أَخِيهِ وَقَتَلَهُ.

And 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.

فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِقَايِينَ: «أَيْنَ هَابِيلُ أَخُوكَ؟» فَقَالَ: «لاَ أَعْلَمُ! أَحَارِسٌ أَنَا لأَخِي؟»

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

فَقَالَ: «مَاذَا فَعَلْتَ؟ صَوْتُ دَمِ أَخِيكَ صَارِخٌ إِلَيَّ مِنَ الأَرْضِ.

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

فَالآنَ مَلْعُونٌ أَنْتَ مِنَ الأَرْضِ الَّتِي فَتَحَتْ فَاهَا لِتَقْبَلَ دَمَ أَخِيكَ مِنْ يَدِكَ.

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

مَتَى عَمِلْتَ الأَرْضَ لاَ تَعُودُ تُعْطِيكَ قُوَّتَهَا. تَائِهًا وَهَارِبًا تَكُونُ فِي الأَرْضِ».

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

فَقَالَ قَايِينُ لِلرَّبِّ: «ذَنْبِي أَعْظَمُ مِنْ أَنْ يُحْتَمَلَ.

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

إِنَّكَ قَدْ طَرَدْتَنِي الْيَوْمَ عَنْ وَجْهِ الأَرْضِ، وَمِنْ وَجْهِكَ أَخْتَفِي وَأَكُونُ تَائِهًا وَهَارِبًا فِي الأَرْضِ، فَيَكُونُ كُلُّ مَنْ وَجَدَنِي يَقْتُلُنِي».

Behold, 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.

فَقَالَ لَهُ الرَّبُّ: «لِذلِكَ كُلُّ مَنْ قَتَلَ قَايِينَ فَسَبْعَةَ أَضْعَافٍ يُنْتَقَمُ مِنْهُ». وَجَعَلَ الرَّبُّ لِقَايِينَ عَلاَمَةً لِكَيْ لاَ يَقْتُلَهُ كُلُّ مَنْ وَجَدَهُ.

And 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.

فَخَرَجَ قَايِينُ مِنْ لَدُنِ الرَّبِّ، وَسَكَنَ فِي أَرْضِ نُودٍ شَرْقِيَّ عَدْنٍ.

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

وَعَرَفَ قَايِينُ امْرَأَتَهُ فَحَبِلَتْ وَوَلَدَتْ حَنُوكَ. وَكَانَ يَبْنِي مَدِينَةً، فَدَعَا اسْمَ الْمَدِينَةِ كَاسْمِ ابْنِهِ حَنُوكَ.

And 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.

وَوُلِدَ لِحَنُوكَ عِيرَادُ. وَعِيرَادُ وَلَدَ مَحُويَائِيلَ. وَمَحُويَائِيلُ وَلَدَ مَتُوشَائِيلَ. وَمَتُوشَائِيلُ وَلَدَ لاَمَكَ.

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

وَاتَّخَذَ لاَمَكُ لِنَفْسِهِ امْرَأَتَيْنِ: اسْمُ الْوَاحِدَةِ عَادَةُ، وَاسْمُ الأُخْرَى صِلَّةُ.

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

فَوَلَدَتْ عَادَةُ يَابَالَ الَّذِي كَانَ أَبًا لِسَاكِنِي الْخِيَامِ وَرُعَاةِ الْمَوَاشِي.

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

وَاسْمُ أَخِيهِ يُوبَالُ الَّذِي كَانَ أَبًا لِكُلِّ ضَارِبٍ بِالْعُودِ وَالْمِزْمَارِ.

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

وَصِلَّةُ أَيْضًا وَلَدَتْ تُوبَالَ قَايِينَ الضَّارِبَ كُلَّ آلَةٍ مِنْ نُحَاسٍ وَحَدِيدٍ. وَأُخْتُ تُوبَالَ قَايِينَ نَعْمَةُ.

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

وَقَالَ لاَمَكُ لامْرَأَتَيْهِ عَادَةَ وَصِلَّةَ: «اسْمَعَا قَوْلِي يَا امْرَأَتَيْ لاَمَكَ، وَأَصْغِيَا لِكَلاَمِي. فَإِنِّي قَتَلْتُ رَجُلاً لِجُرْحِي، وَفَتىً لِشَدْخِي.

And 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.

إِنَّهُ يُنْتَقَمُ لِقَايِينَ سَبْعَةَ أَضْعَافٍ، وَأَمَّا لِلاَمَكَ فَسَبْعَةً وَسَبْعِينَ».

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

وَعَرَفَ آدَمُ امْرَأَتَهُ أَيْضًا، فَوَلَدَتِ ابْنًا وَدَعَتِ اسْمَهُ شِيثًا، قَائِلَةً: «لأَنَّ اللهَ قَدْ وَضَعَ لِي نَسْلاً آخَرَ عِوَضًا عَنْ هَابِيلَ». لأَنَّ قَايِينَ كَانَ قَدْ قَتَلَهُ.

And 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.

وَلِشِيثَ أَيْضًا وُلِدَ ابْنٌ فَدَعَا اسْمَهُ أَنُوشَ. حِينَئِذٍ ابْتُدِئَ أَنْ يُدْعَى بِاسْمِ الرَّبِّ.

And 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.
