400# “该隐与妻子同房,她就怀孕,生了以诺”,这样的分裂或异端从自己又产生另一个,被称为“以诺”。这可从上一节,还可从第一节中“那人和他妻子夏娃生了该隐”的解释看出这层意义。因此,接下来的内容,无论是对教会,还是对那些正在建立谱系的异端来说,都是类似的“怀孕”和“生”,因为它们的性质是相似的;从一个被接受的异端中产生了更多的异端。
400、“该隐与妻子同房,她就怀孕,生了以诺”表示这分裂或异端从自己又产生一个分裂或异端,这从前面所述,以及第一节中关于那人和他妻子夏娃生了该隐的阐述明显看出来。因此,接下来的事物是类似的怀孕和生出,无论是属教会的,还是属异端的;他们(即上古教会成员)为这些分支建立了一个族谱,因为它们类似家谱,即:从一个已获确认的异端那里又生出一大堆的异端。

[NCE]400. Cain knew his wife, and she conceived and delivered Enoch, means that this schism or heresy spontaneously produced another. This is the obvious conclusion from all that precedes. It also makes sense in light of verse 1, which says that the human and his wife, Eve, gave birth to Cain; later developments are similar conceptions and births, whether it is the church or heresies that reproduce themselves. For these offshoots the people [of the earliest church] established a genealogy,{*1} because they resemble family trees: from a single heresy, once seized upon, many others are born.

{*1} Swedenborg has more to say about this kind of genealogy at 339. [LHC]

400. That "Cain knew his wife, and she conceived, and bare Enoch" signifies that this schism or heresy produced another from itself, is evident from what has been previously said, as well as from what is stated in the first verse, that the Man and Eve his wife produced Cain; so that the things which now follow are similar conceptions and births, whether of the church, or of heresies, whereof they formed a genealogy, for these are similarly related to each other. From one heresy that is conceived there are born a host of them.
Elliott(1983-1999) 400
400. That 'Cain knew his wife, and she conceived and bore Enoch' that this schism or heresy produced another from itself follows plainly from the verses preceding this, as well as from the statement in verse 1 about Man and Eve his wife begetting Cain. What follow now therefore are similar conceptions and births - of the Church as well as of heresies - which men established as a genealogy, for this was how they were interrelated. From one established heresy many more are born.
Latin(1748-1756) 400
400. Quod 'Cain cognoverit uxorem suam, conceperit, et pepererit Hanochum' significet quod schisma hoc seu haeresis aliam ex se produxerit, sequitur manifeste ex praecedentibus, tum ex versu primo, quod 'Homo et havah uxor ejus genuerint Cainum'; ita quae sequuntur, sunt conceptus et partus similes, tam Ecclesiae quam haeresium, quarum instituebant genealogiam, nam se similiter habent; ex una capta haeresi nascuntur plures.
