¹ 有一日，那人和他妻子夏娃同房，夏娃就懷孕，生了該隱(就是得的意思)，便說：耶和華使我得了一個男子。

² 又生了該隱的兄弟亞伯。亞伯是牧羊的；該隱是種地的。

³ 有一日，該隱拿地裡的出產為供物獻給耶和華

⁴ 亞伯也將他羊群中頭生的和羊的脂油獻上。耶和華看中了亞伯和他的供物，

⁵ 只是看不中該隱和他的供物。該隱就大大的發怒，變了臉色。

⁶ 耶和華對該隱說：你為甚麼發怒呢？你為甚麼變了臉色呢？

⁷ 你若行得好，豈不蒙悅納？你若行得不好，罪就伏在門前。他必戀慕你，你卻要制伏他。

⁸ 該隱與他兄弟亞伯說話；二人正在田間。該隱起來打他兄弟亞伯，把他殺了。

⁹ 耶和華對該隱說：你兄弟亞伯在那裡？他說：我不知道！我豈是看守我兄弟的麼？

¹⁰ 耶和華說：你作了甚麼事呢？你兄弟的血有聲音從地裡向我哀告。

¹¹ 地開了口，從你手裡接受你兄弟的血。現在你必從這地受咒詛。

¹² 你種地，地不再給你效力；你必流離飄蕩在地上。

¹³ 該隱對耶和華說：我的刑罰太重，過於我所能當的。

¹⁴ 你如今趕逐我離開這地，以致不見你面；我必流離飄蕩在地上，凡遇見我的必殺我。

¹⁵ 耶和華對他說：凡殺該隱的，必遭報七倍。耶和華就給該隱立一個記號，免得人遇見他就殺他。

¹⁶ 於是該隱離開耶和華的面，去住在伊甸東邊挪得之地。

¹⁷ 該隱與妻子同房，他妻子就懷孕，生了以諾。該隱建造了一座城，就按著他兒子的名將那城叫作以諾。

¹⁸ 以諾生以拿；以拿生米戶雅利；米戶雅利生瑪土撒利；瑪土撒利生拉麥。

¹⁹ 拉麥娶了兩個妻：一個名叫亞大，一個名叫洗拉。

²⁰ 亞大生雅八；雅八就是住帳棚、牧養牲畜之人的祖師。

²¹ 雅八的兄弟名叫猶八；他是一切彈琴吹簫之人的祖師。

²² 洗拉又生了土八該隱；他是打造各樣銅鐵利器的(或作：是銅匠鐵匠的祖師)。土八該隱的妹子是拿瑪。

²³ 拉麥對他兩個妻子說：亞大、洗拉，聽我的聲音；拉麥的妻子，細聽我的話語：壯年人傷我，我把他殺了；少年人損我，我把他害了(或作我殺壯士卻傷自己，我害幼童卻損本身。)

²⁴ 若殺該隱，遭報七倍，殺拉麥，必遭報七十七倍。

²⁵ 亞當又與妻子同房，他就生了一個兒子，起名叫塞特，意思說：神另給我立了一個兒子代替亞伯，因為該隱殺了他。

²⁶ 塞特也生了一個兒子，起名叫以挪士。那時候，人才求告耶和華的名。

¹ In you, Yahweh, I take refuge. Never let me be disappointed.

² Deliver me in your righteousness, and rescue me. Turn your ear to me, and save me.

³ Be to me a rock of refuge to which I may always go. Give the command to save me, for you are my rock and my fortress.

⁴ Rescue me, my God, from the hand of the wicked, from the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.

⁵ For you are my hope, Lord Yahweh; my confidence from my youth.

⁶ I have relied on you from the womb. You are he who took me out of my mother's womb. I will always praise you.

⁷ I am a marvel to many, but you are my strong refuge.

⁸ My mouth shall be filled with your praise, with your honor all the day.

⁹ Don't reject me in my old age. Don't forsake me when my strength fails.

¹⁰ For my enemies talk about me. Those who watch for my soul conspire together,

¹¹ saying, "God has forsaken him. Pursue and take him, for no one will rescue him."

¹² God, don't be far from me. My God, hurry to help me.

¹³ Let my accusers be disappointed and consumed. Let them be covered with disgrace and scorn who want to harm me.

¹⁴ But I will always hope, and will add to all of your praise.

¹⁵ My mouth will tell about your righteousness, and of your salvation all day, though I don't know its full measure.

¹⁶ I will come with the mighty acts of the Lord Yahweh. I will make mention of your righteousness, even of yours alone.

¹⁷ God, you have taught me from my youth. Until now, I have declared your wondrous works.

¹⁸ Yes, even when I am old and gray-haired, God, don't forsake me, until I have declared your strength to the next generation, your might to everyone who is to come.

¹⁹ Your righteousness also, God, reaches to the heavens; you have done great things. God, who is like you?

²⁰ You, who have shown us many and bitter troubles, you will let me live. You will bring us up again from the depths of the earth.

²¹ Increase my honor, and comfort me again.

²² I will also praise you with the harp for your faithfulness, my God. I sing praises to you with the lyre, Holy One of Israel.

²³ My lips shall shout for joy! My soul, which you have redeemed, sings praises to you!

²⁴ My tongue will also talk about your righteousness all day long, for they are disappointed, and they are confounded, who want to harm me. By Solomon.
