Greek original · 13 verses · some words can be tapped for a gloss

4:1

Γέγραπται γὰρ οὕτως: Καὶ ἐγένετο μεθ̓ ἡμέρας, ἤνεγκεν Κάϊν ἀπὸ τῶν καρπῶν τῆς γῆς θυσίαν τῷ θεῷ, καὶ Ἄβελ ἤνεγκεν καὶ αὐτὸς ἀπὸ τῶν πρωτοτόκων τῶν προβάτων καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν στεάτων αὐτῶν

For it is written thus: "And it came to pass after some days that Cain brought of the fruits of the earth a sacrifice to God, and Abel also brought of the firstborn of his sheep and of their fat."

因為經上這樣記著：「過了些日子，該隱拿地裡的出產為供物獻給神，亞伯也將他羊群中頭生的和羊的脂油獻上。」

4:2

καὶ ἐπεῖδεν ὁ θεὸς ἐπὶ Ἄβελ καὶ ἐπὶ τοῖς δώροις αὐτοῦ, ἐπὶ δὲ Κάϊν καὶ ἐπὶ ταῖς θυσίαις αὐτοῦ οὐ προσέσχεν

"And God looked upon Abel and upon his gifts; but upon Cain and upon his sacrifices He did not regard."

「神看中了亞伯和他的供物，只是看不中該隱和他的祭物。」

4:3

καὶ ἐλυπήθη Κάϊν λίαν καὶ συνέπεσεν τῷ προσώπῳ αὐτοῦ

"And Cain was greatly grieved, and his countenance fell."

「該隱就大大發怒，變了臉色。」

4:4

καὶ εἶπεν ὁ θεὸς πρὸς Κάϊν: Ἱνατί περίλυπος ἐγένου, καὶ ἱνατί συνέπεσεν τὸ πρόσωπόν σου; οὐκ ἐὰν ὀρθῶς προσενέγκῃς, ὀρθῶς δὲ μὴ διέλῃς, ἥμαρτες

"And God said to Cain: Why are you grieved, and why has your countenance fallen? If you offer rightly but do not rightly divide, have you not sinned?"

「神對該隱說：你為甚麼發怒呢？你為甚麼變了臉色呢？你若獻得對，分得卻不對，豈不是犯了罪麼？」

4:5

ἡσύχασον: πρὸς σὲ ή ἀποστροφὴ αὐτοῦ, καὶ σὺ ἄρξεις αὐτοῦ

"Be still: his desire shall turn to you, and you shall rule over him."

「你要安靜：他必戀慕你，你卻要管轄他。」

4:6

καὶ εἶπεν Κάϊν πρὸς Ἄβελ τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ: Διέλθωμεν εἰς τὸ πεδίον. καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ εἶναι αὐτοὺς ἐν τῷ πεδίῳ, ἀνέστη Κάϊν ἐπὶ Ἄβελ τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀπέκτεινεν αὐτόν

"And Cain said to Abel his brother: Let us go out into the field. And it came to pass, while they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother and killed him."

「該隱對他兄弟亞伯說：我們往田間去吧。二人正在田間的時候，該隱起來攻擊他兄弟亞伯，把他殺了。」

4:7

ὁρᾶτε, ἀδελφοί, ζῆλος καὶ φθόνος ἀδελφοκτονίαν κατειργάσατο

See, brothers, that jealousy and envy wrought a brother's murder.

弟兄們，你們看，嫉妒與羨慕竟釀成了手足相殘的兇殺。

4:8
