ΓΕΝΕΣΙΣ - Genesi - Genesis 4

LXX	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 αδαμ δε εγνω ευαν την γυναικα αυτου και συλλαβουσα ετεκεν τον καιν και ειπεν εκτησαμην ανθρωπον δια του θεου	1 The man had relations with his wife Eve, and she conceived and bore Cain, saying, "I have produced a man with the help of the LORD."
2 και προσεθηκεν τεκειν τον αδελφον αυτου τον αβελ και εγενετο αβελ ποιμην προβατων καιν δε ην εργαζομενος την γην	2 Next she bore his brother Abel. Abel became a keeper of flocks, and Cain a tiller of the soil.
3 και εγενετο μεθ' ημερας ηνεγκεν καιν απο των καρπων της γης θυσιαν τω κυριω	3 In the course of time Cain brought an offering to the LORD from the fruit of the soil,
4 και αβελ ηνεγκεν και αυτος απο των πρωτοτοκων των προβατων αυτου και απο των στεατων αυτων και επειδεν ο θεος επι αβελ και επι τοις δωροις αυτου	4 while Abel, for his part, brought one of the best firstlings of his flock. The LORD looked with favor on Abel and his offering,
5 επι δε καιν και επι ταις θυσιαις αυτου ου προσεσχεν και ελυπησεν τον καιν λιαν και συνεπεσεν τω προσωπω	5 but on Cain and his offering he did not. Cain greatly resented this and was crestfallen.
6 και ειπεν κυριος ο θεος τω καιν ινα τι περιλυπος εγενου και ινα τι συνεπεσεν το προσωπον σου	6 So the LORD said to Cain: "Why are you so resentful and crestfallen?
7 ουκ εαν ορθως προσενεγκης ορθως δε μη διελης ημαρτες ησυχασον προς σε η αποστροφη αυτου και συ αρξεις αυτου	7 If you do well, you can hold up your head; but if not, sin is a demon lurking at the door: his urge is toward you, yet you can be his master."
8 και ειπεν καιν προς αβελ τον αδελφον αυτου διελθωμεν εις το πεδιον και εγενετο εν τω ειναι αυτους εν τω πεδιω και ανεστη καιν επι αβελ τον αδελφον αυτου και απεκτεινεν αυτον	8 Cain said to his brother Abel, "Let us go out in the field." When they were in the field, Cain attacked his brother Abel and killed him.
9 και ειπεν ο θεος προς καιν που εστιν αβελ ο αδελφος σου ο δε ειπεν ου γινωσκω μη φυλαξ του αδελφου μου ειμι εγω	9 Then the LORD asked Cain, "Where is your brother Abel?" He answered, "I do not know. Am I my brother's keeper?"
10 και ειπεν ο θεος τι εποιησας φωνη αιματος του αδελφου σου βοα προς με εκ της γης	10 The LORD then said: "What have you done! Listen: your brother's blood cries out to me from the soil!
11 και νυν επικαταρατος συ απο της γης η εχανεν το στομα αυτης δεξασθαι το αιμα του αδελφου σου εκ της χειρος σου	11 Therefore you shall be banned from the soil that opened its mouth to receive your brother's blood from your hand.
12 οτι εργα την γην και ου προσθησει την ισχυν αυτης δουναι σοι στενων και τρεμων εση επι της γης	12 If you till the soil, it shall no longer give you its produce. You shall become a restless wanderer on the earth."
13 και ειπεν καιν προς τον κυριον μειζων η αιτια μου του αφεθηναι με	13 Cain said to the LORD: "My punishment is too great to bear.
14 ει εκβαλλεις με σημερον απο προσωπου της γης και απο του προσωπου σου κρυβησομαι και εσομαι στενων και τρεμων επι της γης και εσται πας ο ευρισκων με αποκτενει με	14 Since you have now banished me from the soil, and I must avoid your presence and become a restless wanderer on the earth, anyone may kill me at sight."
15 και ειπεν αυτω κυριος ο θεος ουχ ουτως πας ο αποκτεινας καιν επτα εκδικουμενα παραλυσει και εθετο κυριος ο θεος σημειον τω καιν του μη ανελειν αυτον παντα τον ευρισκοντα αυτον	15 Not so!" the LORD said to him. "If anyone kills Cain, Cain shall be avenged sevenfold." So the LORD put a mark on Cain, lest anyone should kill him at sight.
16 εξηλθεν δε καιν απο προσωπου του θεου και ωκησεν εν γη ναιδ κατεναντι εδεμ	16 Cain then left the LORD'S presence and settled in the land of Nod, east of Eden.
17 και εγνω καιν την γυναικα αυτου και συλλαβουσα ετεκεν τον ενωχ και ην οικοδομων πολιν και επωνομασεν την πολιν επι τω ονοματι του υιου αυτου ενωχ	17 Cain had relations with his wife, and she conceived and bore Enoch. Cain also became the founder of a city, which he named after his son Enoch.
18 εγενηθη δε τω ενωχ γαιδαδ και γαιδαδ εγεννησεν τον μαιηλ και μαιηλ εγεννησεν τον μαθουσαλα και μαθουσαλα εγεννησεν τον λαμεχ	18 To Enoch was born Irad, and Irad became the father of Mehujael; Mehujael became the father of Methusael, and Methusael became the father of Lamech.
19 και ελαβεν εαυτω λαμεχ δυο γυναικας ονομα τη μια αδα και ονομα τη δευτερα σελλα	19 Lamech took two wives; the name of the first was Adah, and the name of the second Zillah.
20 και ετεκεν αδα τον ιωβελ ουτος ην ο πατηρ οικουντων εν σκηναις κτηνοτροφων	20 Adah gave birth to Jabal, the ancestor of all who dwell in tents and keep cattle.
21 και ονομα τω αδελφω αυτου ιουβαλ ουτος ην ο καταδειξας ψαλτηριον και κιθαραν	21 His brother's name was Jubal; he was the ancestor of all who play the lyre and the pipe.
22 σελλα δε ετεκεν και αυτη τον θοβελ και ην σφυροκοπος χαλκευς χαλκου και σιδηρου αδελφη δε θοβελ νοεμα	22 Zillah, on her part, gave birth to Tubalcain, the ancestor of all who forge instruments of bronze and iron. The sister of Tubalcain was Naamah.
23 ειπεν δε λαμεχ ταις εαυτου γυναιξιν αδα και σελλα ακουσατε μου της φωνης γυναικες λαμεχ ενωτισασθε μου τους λογους οτι ανδρα απεκτεινα εις τραυμα εμοι και νεανισκον εις μωλωπα εμοι	23 Lamech said to his wives: "Adah and Zillah, hear my voice; wives of Lamech, listen to my utterance: I have killed a man for wounding me, a boy for bruising me.
24 οτι επτακις εκδεδικηται εκ καιν εκ δε λαμεχ εβδομηκοντακις επτα	24 If Cain is avenged sevenfold, then Lamech seventy-sevenfold."
25 εγνω δε αδαμ ευαν την γυναικα αυτου και συλλαβουσα ετεκεν υιον και επωνομασεν το ονομα αυτου σηθ λεγουσα εξανεστησεν γαρ μοι ο θεος σπερμα ετερον αντι αβελ ον απεκτεινεν καιν	25 Adam again had relations with his wife, and she gave birth to a son whom she called Seth. "God has granted me more offspring in place of Abel," she said, "because Cain slew him."
26 και τω σηθ εγενετο υιος επωνομασεν δε το ονομα αυτου ενως ουτος ηλπισεν επικαλεισθαι το ονομα κυριου του θεου	26 To Seth, in turn, a son was born, and he named him Enosh. At that time men began to invoke the LORD by name.
