Livro de Jasher 2

1E foi no centésimo trigésimo ano da vida de Adão na terra, que ele novamente conheceu Eva, sua esposa, e ela concebeu e deu à luz um filho à sua semelhança e à sua imagem, e ela chamou seu nome de Sete, dizendo: Porque Deus me designou outra semente no lugar de Abel, pois Caim o matou.

1And it was in the hundred and thirtieth year of the life of Adam upon the earth, that he again knew Eve his wife, and she conceived and bare a son in his likeness and in his image, and she called his name Seth, saying, Because God has appointed me another seed in the place of Abel, for Cain has slain him.

2E Sete viveu cento e cinco anos e gerou um filho; e Sete chamou o nome de seu filho Enos, dizendo: Porque naquele tempo os filhos dos homens começaram a se multiplicar e a afligir suas almas e corações transgredindo e rebelando-se contra Deus.

2And Seth lived one hundred and five years, and he begat a son; and Seth called the name of his son Enosh, saying, Because in that time the sons of men began to multiply, and to afflict their souls and hearts by transgressing and rebelling against God.

3E foi nos dias de Enos que os filhos dos homens continuaram a rebelar-se e a transgredir contra Deus, para aumentar a ira do Senhor contra os filhos dos homens.

3And it was in the days of Enosh that the sons of men continued to rebel and transgress against God, to increase the anger of the Lord against the sons of men.

4E os filhos dos homens foram e serviram a outros deuses, e se esqueceram do Senhor que os criou na terra: e naqueles dias os filhos dos homens fizeram imagens de bronze e ferro, madeira e pedra, e se curvaram e os serviram.

4And the sons of men went and they served other gods, and they forgot the Lord who had created them in the earth: and in those days the sons of men made images of brass and iron, wood and stone, and they bowed down and served them.

5E cada homem fez seu deus e eles se curvaram a eles, e os filhos dos homens abandonaram o Senhor todos os dias de Enos e seus filhos; e a ira do Senhor se acendeu por causa das obras e abominações que fizeram na terra.

5And every man made his god and they bowed down to them, and the sons of men forsook the Lord all the days of Enosh and his children; and the anger of the Lord was kindled on account of their works and abominations which they did in the earth.

6E o Senhor fez com que as águas do rio Giom os subjugassem, e ele os destruiu e consumiu, e destruiu a terça parte da terra, e apesar disso, os filhos dos homens não se desviaram de seus maus caminhos, e suas mãos ainda estavam estendidas para fazer o que era mau aos olhos do Senhor.

6And the Lord caused the waters of the river Gihon to overwhelm them, and he destroyed and consumed them, and he destroyed the third part of the earth, and notwithstanding this, the sons of men did not turn from their evil ways, and their hands were yet extended to do evil in the sight of the Lord.

7E naqueles dias não havia semeadura nem colheita na terra; e não havia comida para os filhos dos homens e a fome era muito grande naqueles dias.

7And in those days there was neither sowing nor reaping in the earth; and there was no food for the sons of men and the famine was very great in those days.

8E a semente que naqueles dias semearam na terra tornou-se espinhos, cardos e abrolhos; pois desde os dias de Adão houve esta declaração a respeito da terra, da maldição de Deus, com a qual ele amaldiçoou a terra, por causa do pecado que Adão cometeu diante do Senhor.

8And the seed which they sowed in those days in the ground became thorns, thistles and briers; for from the days of Adam was this declaration concerning the earth, of the curse of God, which he cursed the earth, on account of the sin which Adam sinned before the Lord.

9E foi quando os homens continuaram a rebelar-se e a transgredir contra Deus, e a corromper os seus caminhos, que a Terra também se tornou corrompida.

9And it was when men continued to rebel and transgress against God, and to corrupt their ways, that the earth also became corrupt.

10E Enos viveu noventa anos e gerou Cainã;

10And Enosh lived ninety years and he begat Cainan;

11E Cainan cresceu e tinha quarenta anos de idade, e ele se tornou sábio e tinha conhecimento e habilidade em toda a sabedoria, e ele reinou sobre todos os filhos dos homens, e ele conduziu os filhos dos homens à sabedoria e ao conhecimento; pois Cainan era um homem muito sábio e tinha entendimento em toda a sabedoria, e com sua sabedoria governava sobre espíritos e demônios;

11And Cainan grew up and he was forty years old, and he became wise and had knowledge and skill in all wisdom, and he reigned over all the sons of men, and he led the sons of men to wisdom and knowledge; for Cainan was a very wise man and had understanding in all wisdom, and with his wisdom he ruled over spirits and demons;

12E Cainan sabia por sua sabedoria que Deus destruiria os filhos dos homens por terem pecado na terra, e que o Senhor nos últimos dias traria sobre eles as águas do dilúvio.

12And Cainan knew by his wisdom that God would destroy the sons of men for having sinned upon earth, and that the Lord would in the latter days bring upon them the waters of the flood.

13E naqueles dias Cainan escreveu em tábuas de pedra o que aconteceria no futuro, e ele as colocou em seus tesouros.

13And in those days Cainan wrote upon tablets of stone, what was to take place in time to come, and he put them in his treasures.

14E Cainã reinou sobre toda a terra e entregou alguns dos filhos dos homens ao serviço de Deus.

14And Cainan reigned over the whole earth, and he turned some of the sons of men to the service of God.

15E quando Cainan tinha setenta anos, ele gerou três filhos e duas filhas.

15And when Cainan was seventy years old, he begat three sons and two daughters.

16E estes são os nomes dos filhos de Cainã; o nome do primogênito Mahlallel, do segundo Enan e do terceiro Mered, e suas irmãs eram Adah e Zillah; estes são os cinco filhos de Cainã que lhe nasceram.

16And these are the names of the children of Cainan; the name of the first born Mahlallel, the second Enan, and the third Mered, and their sisters were Adah and Zillah; these are the five children of Cainan that were born to him.

17E Lamech, filho de Methusael, tornou-se parente de Cainã por casamento, e ele tomou suas duas filhas como esposas, e Ada concebeu e deu à luz um filho a Lamech, e ela chamou seu nome de Jabal.

17And Lamech, the son of Methusael, became related to Cainan by marriage, and he took his two daughters for his wives, and Adah conceived and bare a son to Lamech, and she called his name Jabal.

18E ela concebeu novamente e deu à luz um filho, e chamou seu nome Jubal; e Zillah, sua irmã, era estéril naqueles dias e não tinha descendência.

18And she again conceived and bare a son, and called his name Jubal; and Zillah, her sister, was barren in those days and had no offspring.

19Pois naqueles dias os filhos dos homens começaram a transgredir contra Deus e a transgredir os mandamentos que ele havia ordenado a Adão, para que frutificassem e se multiplicassem na terra.

19For in those days the sons of men began to trespass against God, and to transgress the commandments which he had commanded to Adam, to be fruitful and multiply in the earth.

20E alguns dos filhos dos homens fizeram com que suas esposas bebessem um gole que as tornaria estéreis, a fim de que pudessem manter suas figuras e por meio das quais sua bela aparência não desaparecesse.

20And some of the sons of men caused their wives to drink a draught that would render them barren, in order that they might retain their figures and whereby their beautiful appearance might not fade.

21E quando os filhos dos homens fizeram algumas de suas esposas beber, Zillah bebeu com elas.

21And when the sons of men caused some of their wives to drink, Zillah drank with them.

22E as mulheres grávidas pareciam abomináveis ​​aos olhos dos seus maridos como viúvas, enquanto os seus maridos viviam, pois só elas estavam apegadas às estéreis.

22And the child-bearing women appeared abominable in the sight of their husbands as widows, whilst their husbands lived, for to the barren ones only they were attached.

23E no final dos dias e anos, quando Zillah envelheceu, o Senhor abriu seu ventre.

23And in the end of days and years, when Zillah became old, the Lord opened her womb.

24E ela concebeu e deu à luz um filho e chamou seu nome de Tubal Cain, dizendo: Depois que eu murchei, eu o obtive do Deus Todo-Poderoso.

24And she conceived and bare a son and she called his name Tubal Cain, saying, After I had withered away have I obtained him from the Almighty God.

25E ela concebeu novamente e deu à luz uma filha, e ela chamou seu nome de Naamah, pois ela disse: Depois que eu murchei, obtive prazer e deleite.

25And she conceived again and bare a daughter, and she called her name Naamah, for she said, After I had withered away have I obtained pleasure and delight.

26E Lamech era velho e avançado em anos, e seus olhos estavam turvos que ele não conseguia ver, e Tubal Cain, seu filho, o estava liderando e foi um dia que Lamech foi para o campo e Tubal Cain, seu filho, estava com ele, e enquanto eles estavam andando no campo, Caim, o filho de Adão, avançou em direção a eles; pois Lameque era muito velho e não via muito, e Tubal Caim, seu filho, era muito jovem.

26And Lamech was old and advanced in years, and his eyes were dim that he could not see, and Tubal Cain, his son, was leading him and it was one day that Lamech went into the field and Tubal Cain his son was with him, and whilst they were walking in the field, Cain the son of Adam advanced towards them; for Lamech was very old and could not see much, and Tubal Cain his son was very young.

27E Tubal Caim disse a seu pai para puxar seu arco, e com as flechas ele feriu Caim, que ainda estava longe, e ele o matou, pois ele lhes parecia ser um animal.

27And Tubal Cain told his father to draw his bow, and with the arrows he smote Cain, who was yet far off, and he slew him, for he appeared to them to be an animal.

28E as flechas entraram no corpo de Caim, embora ele estivesse distante delas, e ele caiu no chão e morreu.

28And the arrows entered Cain's body although he was distant from them, and he fell to the ground and died.

29E o Senhor retribuiu o mal de Caim conforme a maldade que ele tinha feito a seu irmão Abel, conforme a palavra do Senhor que ele tinha falado.

29And the Lord requited Cain's evil according to his wickedness, which he had done to his brother Abel, according to the word of the Lord which he had spoken.

30E aconteceu que quando Caim morreu, Lameque e Tubal foram ver o animal que haviam matado e viram, e eis que Caim, seu avô, caiu morto no chão.

30And it came to pass when Cain had died, that Lamech and Tubal went to see the animal which they had slain, and they saw, and behold Cain their grandfather was fallen dead upon the earth.

31E Lameque ficou muito triste por ter feito isso e, batendo palmas, bateu em seu filho e causou sua morte.

31And Lamech was very much grieved at having done this, and in clapping his hands together he struck his son and caused his death.

32E as esposas de Lameque ouviram o que Lameque tinha feito e procuraram matá-lo.

32And the wives of Lamech heard what Lamech had done, and they sought to kill him.

33E as esposas de Lameque o odiaram desde aquele dia, porque ele matou Caim e Tubal Caim, e as esposas de Lameque se separaram dele, e não quiseram ouvi-lo naqueles dias.

33And the wives of Lamech hated him from that day, because he slew Cain and Tubal Cain, and the wives of Lamech separated from him, and would not hearken to him in those days.

34E Lameque foi até suas esposas e insistiu com elas para que o ouvissem sobre esse assunto.

34And Lamech came to his wives, and he pressed them to listen to him about this matter.

35E ele disse às suas esposas Ada e Zilá: Ouçam minha voz, ó esposas de Lameque, prestem atenção às minhas palavras, pois agora vocês imaginaram e disseram que eu matei um homem com meus ferimentos, e uma criança com minhas listras por não terem feito violência, mas certamente saibam que sou velho e grisalho, e que meus olhos estão pesados ​​pela idade, e eu fiz isso sem saber.

35And he said to his wives Adah and Zillah, Hear my voice O wives of Lamech, attend to my words, for now you have imagined and said that I slew a man with my wounds, and a child with my stripes for their having done no violence, but surely know that I am old and grey-headed, and that my eyes are heavy through age, and I did this thing unknowingly.

36E as esposas de Lameque o ouviram neste assunto, e voltaram para ele com o conselho de seu pai Adão, mas não lhe deram filhos desde então, sabendo que a ira de Deus estava aumentando naqueles dias contra os filhos dos homens, para destruí-los com as águas do dilúvio por suas más ações.

36And the wives of Lamech listened to him in this matter, and they returned to him with the advice of their father Adam, but they bore no children to him from that time, knowing that God's anger was increasing in those days against the sons of men, to destroy them with the waters of the flood for their evil doings.

37E Mahlallel, filho de Cainan, viveu sessenta e cinco anos e gerou Jared; e Jarede viveu sessenta e dois anos e gerou Enoque.

37And Mahlallel the son of Cainan lived sixty-five years and he begat Jared; and Jared lived sixty-two years and he begat Enoch.
