قايين وهابيل

1 وَعَاشَرَ آدَمُ حَوَّاءَ زَوْجَتَهُ فَحَبِلَتْ، وَوَلَدَتْ ابْناً أَسْمَتْهُ قَايِينَ إِذْ قَالَتْ: «اقْتَنَيْتُ رَجُلاً مِنْ عِنْدِ الرَّبِّ». 2 ثُمَّ عَادَتْ فَوَلَدَتْ أَخَاهُ هَابِيلَ، وَكَانَ هَابِيلُ رَاعِياً لِلْغَنَمِ. أَمَّا قَايِينُ فَقَدْ عَمِلَ فِي فِلَاحَةِ الأَرْضِ. 3 وَحَدَثَ بَعْدَ مُرُورِ أَيَّامٍ أَنْ قَدَّمَ قَايِينُ مِنْ ثِمَارِ الأَرْضِ قُرْبَاناً لِلرَّبِّ، 4 وَقَدَّمَ هَابِيلُ أَيْضاً مِنْ خَيْرَةِ أَبْكَارِ غَنَمِهِ وَأَسْمَنِهَا. فَتَقَبَّلَ الرَّبُّ قُرْبَانَ هَابِيلَ وَرَضِيَ عَنْهُ. 5 لَكِنَّهُ لَمْ يَتَقَبَّلْ قُرْبَانَ قَايِينَ وَلَمْ يَرْضَ عَنْهُ. فَاغْتَاظَ قَايِينُ جِدّاً وَتَجَهَّمَ وَجْهُهُ كَمَداً. 6 فَسَأَلَ الرَّبُّ قَايِينَ: «لِمَاذَا اغْتَظْتَ؟ لِمَاذَا تَجَهَّمَ وَجْهُكَ؟ 7 لَوْ أَحْسَنْتَ فِي تَصَرُّفِكَ أَلَا يُشْرِقُ وَجْهُكَ فَرَحاً؟ وَإِنْ لَمْ تُحْسِنِ التَّصَرُّفَ، فَعِنْدَ الْبَابِ خَطِيئَةٌ تَنْتَظِرُكَ، تَتَشَوَّقُ أَنْ تَتَسَلَّطَ عَلَيْكَ، لَكِنْ يَجِبُ أَنْ تَتَحَكَّمَ فِيهَا». 8 وَعَادَ قَايِينُ يَتَظَاهَرُ بِالْوُدِّ لأَخِيهِ هَابِيلَ. وَحَدَثَ إِذْ كَانَا مَعاً فِي الْحَقْلِ أَنَّ قَايِينَ هَجَمَ عَلَى أَخِيهِ هَابِيلَ وَقَتَلَهُ. 9 وَسَأَلَ الرَّبُّ قَايِينَ: «أَيْنَ أَخُوكَ هَابِيلُ؟» فَأَجَابَ: «لَا أَعْرِفُ. هَلْ أَنَا حَارِسٌ لأَخِي؟» 10 فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لَهُ: «مَاذَا فَعَلْتَ؟ إِنَّ صَوْتَ دَمِ أَخِيكَ يَصْرُخُ إِلَيَّ مِنَ الأَرْضِ. 11 فَمُنْذُ الآنَ، تَحِلُّ عَلَيْكَ لَعْنَةُ الأَرْضِ الَّتِي فَتَحَتْ فَاهَا وَابْتَلَعَتْ دَمَ أَخِيكَ الَّذِي سَفَكَتْهُ يَدُكَ. 12 عِنْدَمَا تَفْلَحُهَا لَنْ تُعْطِيَكَ خَيْرَهَا، وَتَكُونُ شَرِيداً وَطَرِيداً فِي الأَرْضِ». 13 فَقَالَ قَايِينُ لِلرَّبِّ: «عُقُوبَتِي أَعْظَمُ مِنْ أَنْ تُحْتَمَلَ. 14 هَا أَنْتَ الْيَوْمَ قَدْ طَرَدْتَنِي عَنْ وَجْهِ الأَرْضِ، وَمِنْ أَمَامِ حَضْرَتِكَ أَخْتَفِي، وَأَكُونُ شَرِيداً طَرِيداً فِي الأَرْضِ، وَيَقْتُلُنِي كُلُّ مَنْ يَجِدُنِي». 15 فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لَهُ: «سَأُعَاقِبُ كُلَّ مَنْ يَقْتُلُكَ بِسَبْعَةِ أَضْعَافِ الْعُقُوبَةِ الَّتِي عَاقَبْتُكَ بِها». وَوَسَمَ الرَّبُّ قَايِينَ بِعَلَامَةٍ تَحْظُرُ عَلَى مَنْ يَلْقَاهُ اغْتِيَالَهُ. 16 وَهَكَذَا خَرَجَ قَايِينُ مِنْ حَضْرَةِ الرَّبِّ وَسَكَنَ فِي أَرْضِ نُودٍ شَرْقِيَّ عَدْنٍ. 17 وَعَاشَرَ قَايِينُ زَوْجَتَهُ فَحَبِلَتْ وَأَنْجَبَتِ ابْناً دَعَاهُ «حَنُوكَ». وَكَانَ قَايِينُ آنَئِذٍ يَبْنِي مَدِينَةً فَسَمَّاهَا«حَنُوكَ» عَلَى اسْمِ ابْنِهِ. 18 ثُمَّ وَلَدَ حَنُوكُ عِيرَادَ، وَوَلَدَ عِيرَادُ مَحُويَائِيلَ، وَوَلَدَ مَحُويَائِيلُ مَتُوشَائِيلَ، وَوَلَدَ مَتُوشَائِيلُ لَامَكَ. 19 وَتَزَوَّجَ لَامَكُ امْرَأَتَيْنِ: اسْمُ الْوَاحِدَةِ عَادَةُ، وَاسْمُ الأُخْرَى صِلَّةُ. 20 وَوَلَدَتْ عَادَةُ كُلًّا مِنْ «يَابَالَ» أَوَّلِ رُعَاةِ الْمَوَاشِي وَسَاكِنِي الْخِيَامِ. 21 وَأَخِيهِ يُوبَالَ أَوَّلِ الْعَازِفِينَ بِالْعُودِ وَالْمِزْمَارِ. 22 وَوَلَدَتْ صِلَّةُ «تُوبَالَ قَايِينَ» أَوَّلَ صَانِعِي آلَاتِ النُّحَاسِ وَالْحَدِيدِ. كَمَا وَلَدَتْ «نَعْمَةَ» أُخْتَ تُوبَالَ قَايِينَ. 23 وَقَالَ لَامَكُ لِزَوْجَتَيْهِ: «يَا عَادَةُ وَصِلَّةُ، اسْمَعَا قَوْلِي، يَا زَوْجَتَيْ لَامَكَ أَصْغِيَا لِكَلَامِي: إِنِّي قَتَلْتُ رَجُلاً جَرَحَنِي وَشَابّاً كَسَرَنِي. 24 فَإِنْ كَانَ يُنْتَقَمُ لِقَايِينَ سَبْعَةَ أَضْعَافٍ، فَإِنَّهُ يُنْتَقَمُ لِلَامَكَ سَبْعَةً وَسَبْعِينَ ضِعْفاً». 25 وَعَاشَرَ آدَمُ زَوْجَتَهُ حَوَّاءَ مَرَّةً أُخْرَى فَأَنْجَبَتْ لَهُ ابْناً أَسْمَتْهُ «شِيثاً» إِذْ قَالَتْ: «قَدْ عَوَّضَنِي اللهُ نَسْلاً آخَرَ عِوَضاً عَنْ هَابِيلَ الَّذِي قَتَلَهُ قَايِينُ». 26 وَوُلِدَ لِشِيثٍ أَيْضاً ابْنٌ سَمَّاهُ أَنُوشَ وَعَنْدَئِذٍ ابْتَدَأَ النَّاسُ يَدْعُونَ بِاسْمِ الرَّبِّ.

English Standard Version

Cain and Abel

1 Now Adam knew Eve his wife, and she conceived and bore Cain, saying, “I have gotten^[1] a man with the help of the Lord.” 2 And again, she bore his brother Abel. Now Abel was a keeper of sheep, and Cain a worker of the ground. 3 In the course of time Cain brought to the Lord an offering of the fruit of the ground, (لا 2:12; عد 18:12) 4 and Abel also brought of the firstborn of his flock and of their fat portions. And the Lord had regard for Abel and his offering, (خر 13:12; عد 18:17; أم 3:9; عب 11:4)

خر 13:12عد 18:17أم 3:9عب 11:4

5 but for Cain and his offering he had no regard. So Cain was very angry, and his face fell. (أم 21:27) 6 The Lord said to Cain, “Why are you angry, and why has your face fallen? 7 If you do well, will you not be accepted?^[2] And if you do not do well, sin is crouching at the door. Its desire is contrary to^[3] you, but you must rule over it.” (تك 3:16; جا 8:12; إش 3:10; رو 2:6)

8 Cain spoke to Abel his brother.^[4] And when they were in the field, Cain rose up against his brother Abel and killed him. (مت 23:35; عب 12:24; 1يو 3:12; يه 1:11)

مت 23:35عب 12:241يو 3:12يه 1:11

9 Then the Lord said to Cain, “Where is Abel your brother?” He said, “I do not know; am I my brother’s keeper?” (يو 8:44) 10 And the Lord said, “What have you done? The voice of your brother’s blood is crying to me from the ground. (عب 12:24; رؤ 6:10) 11 And now you are cursed from the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand. (عد 35:33; تث 27:24) 12 When you work the ground, it shall no longer yield to you its strength. You shall be a fugitive and a wanderer on the earth.” 13 Cain said to the Lord, “My punishment is greater than I can bear.^[5] (تك 19:15) 14 Behold, you have driven me today away from the ground, and from your face I shall be hidden. I shall be a fugitive and a wanderer on the earth, and whoever finds me will kill me.” (تك 9:6; عد 35:19; 2مل 24:20; أي 15:20; مز 51:11; مز 143:7; إر 52:3)

15 Then the Lord said to him, “Not so! If anyone kills Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold.” And the Lord put a mark on Cain, lest any who found him should attack him. (مز 79:12; حز 9:4; حز 9:6; رؤ 14:9; رؤ 14:11)

16 Then Cain went away from the presence of the Lord and settled in the land of Nod,^[6] east of Eden. 17 Cain knew his wife, and she conceived and bore Enoch. When he built a city, he called the name of the city after the name of his son, Enoch. 18 To Enoch was born Irad, and Irad fathered Mehujael, and Mehujael fathered Methushael, and Methushael fathered Lamech. 19 And Lamech took two wives. The name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah. 20 Adah bore Jabal; he was the father of those who dwell in tents and have livestock. 21 His brother’s name was Jubal; he was the father of all those who play the lyre and pipe. 22 Zillah also bore Tubal-cain; he was the forger of all instruments of bronze and iron. The sister of Tubal-cain was Naamah. 23 Lamech said to his wives: “Adah and Zillah, hear my voice; you wives of Lamech, listen to what I say: I have killed a man for wounding me, a young man for striking me. 24 If Cain’s revenge is sevenfold, then Lamech’s is seventy-sevenfold.” (تك 4:15) 25 And Adam knew his wife again, and she bore a son and called his name Seth, for she said, “God has appointed^[7] for me another offspring instead of Abel, for Cain killed him.” 26 To Seth also a son was born, and he called his name Enosh. At that time people began to call upon the name of the Lord. (تك 5:6; 1أخ 1:1; مز 116:17; صف 3:9; زك 13:9; لو 3:38)
