Genesis 4

NEW JERUSALEM	Biblija Hrvatski
1 The man had intercourse with his wife Eve, and she conceived and gave birth to Cain. 'I have acquireda man with the help of Yahweh,' she said.	1 Čovjek pozna svoju ženu Evu, a ona zače i rodi Kajina, pa reče: »Muško sam čedo stekla pomoću Jahve!«
2 She gave birth to a second child, Abel, the brother of Cain. Now Abel became a shepherd and keptflocks, while Cain tilled the soil.	2 Poslije rodi Abela, brata Kajinova; Abel postane stočar, a Kajin zemljoradnik.
3 Time passed and Cain brought some of the produce of the soil as an offering for Yahweh,	3 I jednoga dana Kajin prinese Jahvi žrtvu od zemaljskih plodova.
4 while Abel for his part brought the first-born of his flock and some of their fat as wel . Yahweh lookedwith favour on Abel and his offering.	4 A prinese i Abel od prvine svoje stoke, sve po izbor pretilinu. Jahve milostivo pogleda na Abela i njegovu žrtvu,
5 But he did not look with favour on Cain and his offering, and Cain was very angry and downcast.	5 a na Kajina i žrtvu njegovu ni pogleda ne svrati. Stoga se Kajin veoma razljuti i lice mu se namrgodi.
6 Yahweh asked Cain, 'Why are you angry and downcast?	6 I Jahve reče Kajinu: »Zašto si ljut? Zašto ti je lice namrgođeno?
7 If you are doing right, surely you ought to hold your head high! But if you are not doing right, Sin iscrouching at the door hungry to get you. You can still master him.'	7 Jer ako pravo radiš, vedrinom odsijevaš. A ne radiš li pravo, grijeh ti je kao zvijer na pragu što na te vreba; još mu se možeš oduprijeti.«
8 Cain said to his brother Abel, 'Let us go out'; and while they were in the open country, Cain set on hisbrother Abel and killed him.	8 Kajin pak reče svome bratu Abelu: »Hajdemo van!« I našavši se na polju, Kajin skoči na brata Abela te ga ubi.
9 Yahweh asked Cain, 'Where is your brother Abel?' 'I do not know,' he replied. 'Am I my brother'sguardian?'	9 Potom Jahve zapita Kajina: »Gdje ti je brat Abel?« »Ne znam«, odgovori. »Zar sam ja čuvar brata svoga?«
10 'What have you done?' Yahweh asked. 'Listen! Your brother's blood is crying out to me from theground.	10 Jahve nastavi: »Što si učinio? Slušaj! Krv brata tvoga iz zemlje k meni viče.
11 Now be cursed and banned from the ground that has opened its mouth to receive your brother's bloodat your hands.	11 Stoga budi proklet na zemlji koja je rastvorila usta da proguta s ruke tvoje krv brata tvoga!
12 When you til the ground it wil no longer yield up its strength to you. A restless wanderer you wil beon earth.'	12 Obrađivat ćeš zemlju, ali ti više neće davati svoga roda. Vječni ćeš skitalica na zemlji biti!«
13 Cain then said to Yahweh, 'My punishment is greater than I can bear.	13 A Kajin reče Jahvi: »Kazna je moja odviše teška da se snosi.
14 Look, today you drive me from the surface of the earth. I must hide from you, and be a restlesswanderer on earth. Why, whoever comes across me wil kill me!'	14 Evo me tjeraš danas s plodnoga tla; moram se skrivati od tvoga lica i biti vječni lutalac na zemlji – tko me god nađe, može me ubiti.«
15 'Very wel , then,' Yahweh replied, 'whoever kil s Cain wil suffer a sevenfold vengeance.' So Yahwehput a mark on Cain, so that no one coming across him would kil him.	15 A Jahve mu reče: »Ne! Nego tko ubije Kajina, sedmerostruka osveta na njemu će se izvršiti!« I Jahve stavi znak na Kajina, da ga tko, našavši ga, ne ubije.
16 Cain left Yahweh's presence and settled in the land of Nod, east of Eden.	16 Kajin ode ispred lica Jahvina u zemlju Nod, istočno od Edena, i ondje se nastani.
17 Cain had intercourse with his wife, and she conceived and gave birth to Enoch. He became thefounder of a city and gave the city the name of his son Enoch.	17 Kajin pozna svoju ženu te ona zače i rodi Henoka. Podigao je grad i grad prozvao imenom svoga sina – Henok.
18 Enoch fathered Irad, and Irad fathered Mehujael; Mehujael fathered Methushael, and Methushaelfathered Lamech.	18 Henoku se rodio Irad, a od Irada potekao Mehujael; od Mehujaela poteče Metušael, od Metušaela Lamek.
19 Lamech married two women: the name of the first was Adah and the name of the second was Zil ah.	19 Lamek uzme dvije žene. Jedna se zvala Ada, a druga Sila.
20 Adah gave birth to Jabal: he was the ancestor of tent-dwelling herdsmen.	20 Ada rodi Jabala, koji je postao praocem onih što pod šatorima žive sa stokom.
21 His brother's name was Jubal: he was the ancestor of al who play the harp and the pipe.	21 Bratu mu bijaše ime Jubal. On je praotac svih koji sviraju na liru i sviralu.
22 As for Zil ah, she gave birth to Tubal-Cain: he was the ancestor of al who work copper and iron.Tubal-Cain's sister was Naamah.	22 Sila rodi Tubal-Kajina, praoca onih koji kuju bakar i željezo. Tubal-Kajinovoj sestri bijaše ime Naama.
23 Lamech said to his wives: Adah and Zil ah, hear my voice, wives of Lamech, listen to what I say: Ikil ed a man for wounding me, a boy for striking me.	23 Lamek prozbori svojim ženama: »Ada i Sila, glas moj poslušajte! Žene Lamekove, čujte mi besjedu: Čovjeka sam ubio jer me ranio i dijete jer me udarilo.
24 Sevenfold vengeance for Cain, but seventy-sevenfold for Lamech.	24 Ako će Kajin biti osvećen sedmerostruko, Lamek će sedamdeset i sedam puta!«
25 Adam had intercourse with his wife, and she gave birth to a son whom she named Seth, 'becauseGod has granted me other offspring', she said, 'in place of Abel, since Cain has kil ed him.'	25 Adam pozna svoju ženu te ona rodi sina i nadjenu mu ime Šet. Reče ona: »Bog mi dade drugo dijete mjesto Abela, koga ubi Kajin.«
26 A son was also born to Seth, and he named him Enosh. This man was the first to invoke the nameYahweh.	26 Šetu se rodi sin, komu on nadjenu ime Enoš. Tada se počelo zazivati ime Jahvino.
