Genesis 4
Magandang Balita Biblia (with Deuterocanon)
Si Cain at si Abel
4 Sinipingan ni Adan ang kanyang asawa at ito'y nagdalang-tao. Nang isilang ang kanyang panganay na lalaki ay sinabi ni Eva: “Nagkaroon ako ng anak na lalaki sa tulong ni Yahweh.” Kaya Cain[a] ang ipinangalan niya rito. 2 Sinundan si Cain ng isa pang anak na lalaki, at Abel naman ang ipinangalan dito. Naging pastol ito at si Cain naman ay naging magsasaka. 3 Dumating ang panahon na si Cain ay naghandog kay Yahweh ng ani niya sa bukid. 4 Kinuha(A) naman ni Abel ang isa sa mga panganay ng kanyang kawan. Pinatay niya ito at inihandog ang pinakamainam na bahagi. Si Yahweh ay nasiyahan kay Abel at sa kanyang handog, 5 ngunit hindi niya kinalugdan si Cain at ang handog nito. Dahil dito, hindi mailarawan ang mukha ni Cain sa tindi ng galit. 6 Kaya't sinabi ni Yahweh, “Anong ikinagagalit mo, Cain? Bakit ganyan ang mukha mo? 7 Kung mabuti ang ginawa mo, dapat kang magsaya. Kung masama naman, ang kasalana'y tulad ng mabangis na hayop na laging nag-aabang upang lapain ka. Nais nitong pagharian ka. Kaya't kailangang mapaglabanan mo ito.”
8 Isang(B) araw, niyaya ni Cain ang kanyang kapatid, “Abel, pumunta tayo sa bukid.” Sumama naman ito, ngunit pagdating nila sa bukid ay pinatay ni Cain si Abel.
9 Tinanong ni Yahweh si Cain, “Nasaan ang kapatid mong si Abel?”
Sumagot siya, “Hindi ko alam. Bakit, ako ba'y tagapag-alaga ng aking kapatid?”
10 At(C) sinabi ni Yahweh, “Cain, ano itong ginawa mo? Sumisigaw sa akin mula sa lupa ang dugo ng iyong kapatid, at humihingi ng katarungan. 11 Sinusumpa kita ngayon, at hindi mo na maaaring bungkalin ang lupa dahil dumanak doon ang dugo ng kapatid mo na iyong pinaslang. 12 Bungkalin mo man ang lupa upang tamnan, hindi ka mag-aani; wala kang matitirhan at magiging lagalag ka sa daigdig.”
13 “Napakabigat namang parusa ito!” sabi ni Cain kay Yahweh. 14 “Ngayong pinapalayas mo ako sa lupaing ito upang malayo sa iyong paningin, at maglagalag sa daigdig, papatayin ako ng sinumang makakakita sa akin.”
15 “Hindi,” sagot ni Yahweh. “Paparusahan ng pitong ibayo ang sinumang papatay sa iyo.” Kaya't nilagyan ni Yahweh ng palatandaan si Cain upang maging babala sa sinuman na ito'y hindi dapat patayin. 16 Iniwan ni Cain si Yahweh at tumira siya sa lupain ng Nod, isang lugar sa silangan ng Eden.
Ang Angkan ni Cain
17 Sinipingan ni Cain ang kanyang asawa, nagdalang-tao ito at nagkaanak ng isang lalaki na pinangalanang Enoc. Pagkatapos, nagtayo si Cain ng isang lunsod at ito'y tinawag na Enoc, bilang alaala sa kanyang anak. 18 Si Enoc ang ama ni Irad na ama ni Mehujael. Anak naman nito si Metusael na ama ni Lamec. 19 Nag-asawa si Lamec ng dalawa, sina Ada at Zilla. 20 Naging anak ni Ada si Jabal, ang ninuno ng mga nagpapastol ng mga baka at ng mga tumitira sa tolda. 21 Kapatid nito si Jubal na siya namang ninuno ng mga manunugtog ng alpa at plauta. 22 Naging anak naman ni Zilla si Tubal-cain na ninuno ng lahat ng panday ng mga kagamitang tanso at bakal. Si Tubal-cain ay may kapatid na babae, si Naama. 23 Sinabi ni Lamec sa dalawa niyang asawa:
“Dinggin ninyo itong aking sasabihin,
Ada at Zilla, mga asawa kong giliw;
may pinatay akong isang kabataan,
sapagkat ako'y kanyang sinugatan.
24 Kung saktan si Cain, ang parusang gawad sa gagawa nito'y pitong patong agad;
ngunit kapag ako ang siyang sinaktan, pitumpu't pitong patong ang kaparusahan.”
Ang Angkan ni Set
25 Muling sinipingan ni Adan ang kanyang asawa, at ito'y nanganak ng isa pang lalaki. Sinabi ng ina, “Binigyan ako ng Diyos ng kapalit ni Abel na pinatay ni Cain;” at ito'y tinawag niyang Set.[b] 26 Si Set ang ama ni Enos. Noon nagsimulang tumawag sa pangalan ni Yahweh ang mga tao sa kanilang pagsamba.
Genesis 4
World English Bible
4 The man knew[a] Eve his wife. She conceived,[b] and gave birth to Cain, and said, “I have gotten a man with Yahweh’s help.” 2 Again she gave birth, to Cain’s brother Abel. Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground. 3 As time passed, Cain brought an offering to Yahweh from the fruit of the ground. 4 Abel also brought some of the firstborn of his flock and of its fat. Yahweh respected Abel and his offering, 5 but he didn’t respect Cain and his offering. Cain was very angry, and the expression on his face fell. 6 Yahweh said to Cain, “Why are you angry? Why has the expression of your face fallen? 7 If you do well, won’t it 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.” 8 Cain said to Abel, his brother, “Let’s go into the field.” While they were in the field, Cain rose up against Abel, his brother, and killed him.
9 Yahweh said to Cain, “Where is Abel, your brother?”
He said, “I don’t know. Am I my brother’s keeper?”
10 Yahweh said, “What have you done? The voice of your brother’s blood cries to me from the ground. 11 Now you are cursed because of the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand. 12 From now on, when you till the ground, it won’t yield its strength to you. You will be a fugitive and a wanderer in the earth.”
13 Cain said to Yahweh, “My punishment is greater than I can bear. 14 Behold, you have driven me out today 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. Whoever finds me will kill me.”
15 Yahweh said to him, “Therefore whoever slays Cain, vengeance will be taken on him sevenfold.” Yahweh appointed a sign for Cain, so that anyone finding him would not strike him.
16 Cain left Yahweh’s presence, and lived in the land of Nod, east of Eden. 17 Cain knew his wife. She conceived, and gave birth to Enoch. He built a city, and named the city after the name of his son, Enoch. 18 Irad was born to Enoch. Irad became the father of Mehujael. Mehujael became the father of Methushael. Methushael became the father of Lamech. 19 Lamech took two wives: the name of the first one was Adah, and the name of the second one was Zillah. 20 Adah gave birth to Jabal, who was the father of those who dwell in tents and have livestock. 21 His brother’s name was Jubal, who was the father of all who handle the harp and pipe. 22 Zillah also gave birth to Tubal Cain, the forger of every cutting instrument of bronze and iron. Tubal Cain’s sister was Naamah. 23 Lamech 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.
24 If Cain will be avenged seven times,
truly Lamech seventy-seven times.”
25 Adam knew his wife again. She gave birth to a son, and named him Seth, saying, “for God has given me another child instead of Abel, for Cain killed him.” 26 A son was also born to Seth, and he named him Enosh. At that time men began to call on Yahweh’s name.
