¹ 아담이 그 아내 하와와 동침하매 하와가 잉태하여 가인을 낳고 이르되 `내가 여호와로 말미암아 득남하였다' 하니라

² 그가 또 가인의 아우 아벨을 낳았는데 아벨은 양 치는 자이었고, 가인은 농사하는 자이었더라

³ 세월이 지난 후에 가인은 땅의 소산으로 제물을 삼아 여호와께 드렸고

⁴ 아벨은 자기도 양의 첫 새끼와 그 기름으로 드렸더니 여호와께서 아벨과 그 제물은 열납하셨으나

⁵ 가인과 그 제물은 열납하지 아니하신지라 가인이 심히 분하여 안색이 변하니

⁶ 여호와께서 가인에게 이르시되 네가 분하여 함은 어찜이며 안색이 변함은 어찜이뇨 ?

⁷ 네가 선을 행하면 어찌 낯을 들지 못하겠느냐 ? 선을 행치 아니하면 죄가 문에 엎드리느니라 죄의 소원은 네게 있으나 너는 죄를 다스릴지니라

⁸ 가인이 그 아우 아벨에게 고하니라 그 후 그들이 들에 있을때에 가인이 그 아우 아벨을 쳐 죽이니라

⁹ 여호와께서 가인에게 이르시되 네 아우 아벨이 어디 있느냐 ? 그가 가로되 `내가 알지 못하나이다 내가 내 아우를 지키는 자이니까 ?'

¹⁰ 가라사대 네가 무엇을 하였느냐 ? 네 아우의 핏소리가 땅에서부터 내게 호소하느니라

¹¹ 땅이 그 입을 벌려 네 손에서부터 네 아우의 피를 받았은즉 네가 땅에서 저주를 받으리니

¹² 네가 밭 갈아도 땅이 다시는 그 효력을 네게 주지 아니할 것이요 너는 땅에서 피하며 유리하는 자가 되리라

¹³ 가인이 여호와께 고하되 `내 죄벌이 너무 중하여 견딜 수 없나이다

¹⁴ 주께서 오늘 이 지면에서 나를 쫓아 내시온즉 내가 주의 낯을 뵈옵지 못하리니 내가 땅에서 피하며 유리하는 자가 될지라 무릇 나를 만나는 자가 나를 죽이겠나이다'

¹⁵ 여호와께서 그에게 이르시되 그렇지 않다 가인을 죽이는 자는 벌을 칠배나 받으리라 하시고 가인에게 표를 주사 만나는 누구에게든지 죽임을 면케 하시니라

¹⁶ 가인이 여호와의 앞을 떠나 나가 에덴 동편 놋 땅에 거하였더니

¹⁷ 아내와 동침하니 그가 잉태하여 에녹을 낳은지라 가인이 성을 쌓고 그 아들의 이름으로 성을 이름하여 에녹이라 하였더라

¹⁸ 에녹이 이랏을 낳았고, 이랏은 므후야엘을 낳았고, 므후야엘은 므드사엘을 낳았고, 므드사엘은 라멕을 낳았더라

¹⁹ 라멕이 두 아내를 취하였으니 하나의 이름은 아다요, 하나의 이름은 씰라며

²⁰ 아다는 야발을 낳았으니 그는 장막에 거하여 육축 치는 자의 조상이 되었고

²¹ 그 아우의 이름은 유발이니 그는 수금과 퉁소를 잡는 모든 자의 조상이 되었으며

²² 씰라는 두발가인을 낳았으니 그는 동,철로 각양 날카로운 기계를 만드는 자요 두발가인의 누이는 나아마이었더라

²³ 라멕이 아내들에게 이르되 `아다와 씰라여 내 소리를 들으라 라멕의 아내들이여 ! 내 말을 들으라 나의 창상을 인하여 내가 사람을 죽였고 나의 상함을 인하여 소년을 죽였도다

²⁴ 가인을 위하여는 벌이 칠배일진대 라멕을 위하여는 벌이 칠십 칠배이리로다' 하였더라

²⁵ 아담이 다시 아내와 동침하매 그가 아들을 낳아 그 이름을 셋이라 하였으니 `이는 하나님이 내게 가인의 죽인 아벨 대신에 다른 씨를 주셨다' 함이며

²⁶ 셋도 아들을 낳고 그 이름을 에노스라 하였으며 그 때에 사람들이 비로소 여호와의 이름을 불렀더라

¹ In the third year of the reign of king Belshazzar a vision appeared to me, even to me, Daniel, after that which appeared to me at the first.

² I saw in the vision; now it was so, that when I saw, I was in the citadel of Susa, which is in the province of Elam; and I saw in the vision, and I was by the river Ulai.

³ Then I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and behold, there stood before the river a ram which had two horns: and the two horns were high; but one was higher than the other, and the higher came up last.

⁴ I saw the ram pushing westward, and northward, and southward; and no animals could stand before him, neither was there any who could deliver out of his hand; but he did according to his will, and magnified himself.

⁵ As I was considering, behold, a male goat came from the west over the surface of the whole earth, and didn't touch the ground: and the goat had a notable horn between his eyes.

⁶ He came to the ram that had the two horns, which I saw standing before the river, and ran on him in the fury of his power.

⁷ I saw him come close to the ram, and he was moved with anger against him, and struck the ram, and broke his two horns; and there was no power in the ram to stand before him; but he cast him down to the ground, and trampled on him; and there was none who could deliver the ram out of his hand.

⁸ The male goat magnified himself exceedingly: and when he was strong, the great horn was broken; and instead of it there came up four notable [horns] toward the four winds of the sky.

⁹ Out of one of them came forth a little horn, which grew exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the glorious [land].

¹⁰ It grew great, even to the army of the sky; and some of the army and of the stars it cast down to the ground, and trampled on them.

¹¹ Yes, it magnified itself, even to the prince of the army; and it took away from him the continual [burnt offering], and the place of his sanctuary was cast down.

¹² The army was given over [to it] together with the continual [burnt offering] through disobedience; and it cast down truth to the ground, and it did [its pleasure] and prospered.

¹³ Then I heard a holy one speaking; and another holy one said to that certain one who spoke, How long shall be the vision [concerning] the continual [burnt offering], and the disobedience that makes desolate, to give both the sanctuary and the army to be trodden under foot?

¹⁴ He said to me, To two thousand and three hundred evenings [and] mornings; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.

¹⁵ It happened, when I, even I Daniel, had seen the vision, that I sought to understand it; and behold, there stood before me as the appearance of a man.

¹⁶ I heard a man's voice between [the banks of] the Ulai, which called, and said, Gabriel, make this man to understand the vision.

¹⁷ So he came near where I stood; and when he came, I was frightened, and fell on my face: but he said to me, Understand, son of man; for the vision belongs to the time of the end.

¹⁸ Now as he was speaking with me, I fell into a deep sleep with my face toward the ground; but he touched me, and set me upright.

¹⁹ He said, Behold, I will make you know what shall be in the latter time of the indignation; for it belongs to the appointed time of the end.

²⁰ The ram which you saw, that had the two horns, they are the kings of Media and Persia.

²¹ The rough male goat is the king of Greece: and the great horn that is between his eyes is the first king.

²² As for that which was broken, in the place where four stood up, four kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation, but not with his power.

²³ In the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce face, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up.

²⁴ His power shall be mighty, but not by his own power; and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper and do [his pleasure]; and he shall destroy the mighty ones and the holy people.

²⁵ Through his policy he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and in [their] security shall he destroy many: he shall also stand up against the prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.

²⁶ The vision of the evenings and mornings which has been told is true: but seal up the vision; for it belongs to many days [to come].

²⁷ I, Daniel, fainted, and was sick certain days; then I rose up, and did the king's business: and I wondered at the vision, but none understood it.
