4:1

Αδαμ δὲ ἔγνω Ευαν τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ καὶ συλλαβοῦσα ἔτεκεν τὸν Καιν καὶ εἶπεν ἐκτησάμην ἄνθρωπον διὰ τοῦ θεοῦ

Now Adam knew Eua his wife, and she conceived and bore Kain and said, "I have acquired a man through God."

亞當認識了他的妻子夏娃，她就懷孕，生了該隱，說：「我藉著神得了一個人。」

4:2

καὶ προσέθηκεν τεκεῖν τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ τὸν Αβελ καὶ ἐγένετο Αβελ ποιμὴν προβάτων Καιν δὲ ἦν ἐργαζόμενος τὴν γῆν

And she proceeded to bear his brother Abel. And Abel became a shepherd of sheep, but Kain was one who tilled the earth.

她又接著生了該隱的兄弟亞伯。亞伯是牧羊的，該隱是耕地的。

4:3

καὶ ἐγένετο μεθ’ ἡμέρας ἤνεγκεν Καιν ἀπὸ τῶν καρπῶν τῆς γῆς θυσίαν τῷ κυρίῳ

And it happened after some days that Kain brought from the fruits of the earth a sacrifice to the Lord.

過了些日子，該隱把地裡的出產拿來，獻給主作供物。

4:4

καὶ Αβελ ἤνεγκεν καὶ αὐτὸς ἀπὸ τῶν πρωτοτόκων τῶν προβάτων αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν στεάτων αὐτῶν καὶ ἐπεῖδεν ὁ θεὸς ἐπὶ Αβελ καὶ ἐπὶ τοῖς δώροις αὐτοῦ

And Abel, he also brought from the firstborn of his sheep and from their fat portions. And God looked upon Abel and upon his gifts,

亞伯也把他羊群中頭生的和牠們的脂油拿來獻上。神看顧亞伯和他的禮物，

4:5

ἐπὶ δὲ Καιν καὶ ἐπὶ ταῖς θυσίαις αὐτοῦ οὐ προσέσχεν καὶ ἐλύπησεν τὸν Καιν λίαν καὶ συνέπεσεν τῷ προσώπῳ

but on Kain and on his sacrifices he did not attend. And it grieved Kain exceedingly, and his face fell.

卻不看顧該隱和他的供物。該隱就非常憂愁，臉色也沉了下來。

4:6

καὶ εἶπεν κύριος ὁ θεὸς τῷ Καιν ἵνα τί περίλυπος ἐγένου καὶ ἵνα τί συνέπεσεν τὸ πρόσωπόν σου

And the Lord God said to Kain, "Why have you become deeply grieved, and why has your face fallen?

主神對該隱說：「你為甚麼滿心憂愁呢？你的臉色為甚麼沉下來呢？

4:7

οὐκ ἐὰν ὀρθῶς προσενέγκῃς ὀρθῶς δὲ μὴ διέλῃς ἥμαρτες ἡσύχασον πρὸς σὲ ἡ ἀποστροφὴ αὐτοῦ καὶ σὺ ἄρξεις αὐτοῦ

If you offer correctly but do not divide correctly, have you not sinned? Be still; its recourse is to you, and you shall rule over it."

你若獻得正，卻分得不正，豈不是犯了罪嗎？安靜吧。它必歸向你，你卻要管轄它。」

4:8

καὶ εἶπεν Καιν πρὸς Αβελ τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ διέλθωμεν εἰς τὸ πεδίον καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ εἶναι αὐτοὺς ἐν τῷ πεδίῳ καὶ ἀνέστη Καιν ἐπὶ Αβελ τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀπέκτεινεν αὐτόν

And Kain said to Abel his brother, "Let us go out into the plain." And it happened when they were in the plain that Kain rose up against Abel his brother and killed him.

該隱對他兄弟亞伯說：「我們往田野去吧。」他們在田野的時候，該隱起來攻擊他兄弟亞伯，把他殺了。

4:9

καὶ εἶπεν ὁ θεὸς πρὸς Καιν ποῦ ἐστιν Αβελ ὁ ἀδελφός σου ὁ δὲ εἶπεν οὐ γινώσκω μὴ φύλαξ τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ μού εἰμι ἐγώ

And God said to Kain, "Where is Abel your brother?" And he said, "I do not know; am I my brother's keeper?"

神對該隱說：「你兄弟亞伯在哪裡？」他說：「我不知道。我豈是看守我兄弟的嗎？」
