5.3 Vixit autem Adam, etc. HIERON., in Quæst. Hebr.. Sciendum quod usque ad diluvium, ubi in nostris codicibus ducentorum et quod excurrit annorum genuisse quis dicitur, in Hebræo habeat centum annos et reliquos qui sequuntur. Et genuit, etc. Quasi et iste portavit imaginem terreni qui pro Abel justo repositus est, et interpretatione nominis Christum significat. Sed omnes prius portant imaginem terreni hominis quam cœlestis, licet multi ad adventum Christi per fidem eamdem gratiam habuerunt qua salvantur Christiani. STRAB. Ferunt post mortem Abel vovisse Adam se uxorem non ultra cogniturum nec filium generaturum. Sed Deo jubente fregit votum, ut Dei Filius de eo nasceretur, et homo redimeretur; stirpe enim Cain nasci non debuit. Unde ante Seth nullum legitur genuisse, post eum vero dicitur; quia genuit filios et filias. Hæc computatio genealogiarum, quasi ramos spargit historiarum, de quibus suis locis colliguntur fructus mysteriorum. Et notandum quia in generatione Seth nulla femina ponitur nominatim, sicut in generatione Cain: justorum enim est omnia viriliter agere, nihil femineum, nihil fragile usurpare. Procedit etiam hæc generatio per denarium usque ad Nœ, in quo præceptorum signatur impletio, sicut per undenarium in generatione Cain transgressio. In generatione injustorum primus Enoch ponitur, qui dedicatio interpretatur, quia reprobi in præsenti vita spei suæ radicem figunt, et ab amore immarcescibilis hæreditatis arescunt. De quibus dicitur Joan. 5: Vidit stultum firma radice, et maledixit pulchritudini ejus statim. In generatione justorum Enoch ab Adam septimus ponitur, quia hic manentem civitatem non quærunt, sed exspectationem usque in finem temporis extendunt, quod septenaria revolutione terminatur, cum æternitas octava successerit. Unde iste Enoch qui ponitur septimus, et translatus est quia Deo placuit, septimam requiem significat, ad quam post hanc vitam, qui Deo perseveranter adhæret, sine dilatione transfertur. Interpretatio quoque nominum hujus generationis idem signat: Adam interpretatur homo vel rubra terra; Seth, positio vel resurrectio; Enos, homo; Cainan, lamentatio; Malalehel, laudans Deum; Jared, roboratus; Enoch, dedicatio; Mathusalam, mortis emissio; Lamech, humiliatus; Nœ, requies. Procedens ergo homo de terra, resurgens a peccatis, erit homo invocans Deum et deflens peccata pristina: sicque laudans Deum, roboratus Spiritu Dei, dedicatur in vitam æternam. Atque victor mortis Deo subjectus, requiem possidet sempiternam, quam significat Nœ qui requies interpretatur, et decimo loco numeratur, quia per impletionem mandatorum possidetur regnum cœlorum.
5.3 Vixit however Adam, etc. HIERON., in Quæst. Hebr.. Sciendum that until to diluvium, where in nostris codicibus ducentorum and that excurrit annorum genuisse who/any it_is_said, in Hebræo have centum annos and reliwhich who sequuntur. And genuit, etc. Quasi and this portavit imaginem terreni who for Abel justo repositus it_is, and interpretatione nominis Christum significat. But everyone first/before portant imaginem terreni of_man how cœlestis, licet multi to adventum of_Christ through faith eamdem gratiam habuerunt which salvantur of_Christani. STRAB. Ferunt after mortem Abel vovisse Adam se wife not/no ultra cogniturum but_not son generaturum. But Deo yubente fregit votum, as of_God Son about eo nasceretur, and human redimeretur; stirpe because Cain nasci not/no debuit. Unde before Seth nullum legitur genuisse, after him vero it_is_said; because genuit filios and daughters. This computatio genealogiarum, as_if ramos spargit historiarum, about to_whom to_his_own locis colliguntur fructus mysteriorum. And notandum because in generatione Seth nulla femina putsur nominatim, like in generatione Cain: justorum because it_is everything viriliter agere, nihil femineum, nihil fragile usurpare. Procedit also these_things generatio through denarium until to Nœ, in quo præceptorum signatur impletio, like through undenarium in generatione Cain transgressio. In generatione injustorum primus Enoch putsur, who delet_him_sayio interpretatur, because reprobi in præsenti vita spei suæ radicem figunt, and away amore immarcescibilis hæreditatis arescunt. De to_whom it_is_said Yoan. 5: Vidit stultum firma radice, and maledixit pulchritudini his statim. In generatione justorum Enoch away Adam the_seventh putsur, because this manentem civitatem not/no quærunt, but exspectationem until in finem temporis extendunt, that septenaria revolutione terminatur, when/with æternitas octava successerit. Unde this Enoch who putsur septimus, and translatus it_is because Deo placuit, septimam requiem significat, to how after hanc vitam, who Deo perseveranter adhæret, without dilatione transfertur. Interpretatio too nominum huyus generationis idem signat: Adam interpretatur homo or rubra terra; Seth, positio or resurrectio; Enos, homo; Cainan, lamentatio; Malalehel, laudans God; Yared, roboratus; Enoch, delet_him_sayio; Mathusalam, mortis emissio; Lamech, humiliatus; Nœ, requies. Procedens therefore human about terra, resurgens from peccatis, will_be human incalling God and deflens sins pristina: sicque laudans God, roboratus Spiritu of_God, delet_him_sayur in life eternal. Atque victor mortis Deo subyectus, requiem possidet sempiternam, how significat Nœ who requies interpretatur, and decimo instead numeratur, because through impletionem mandatorum possidetur kingdom cœlorum.
5:3 just like him—in his very image: The image and likeness of God (see note on 1:26) is preserved in human beings despite sin. Adam’s sinful nature was also carried forward (Rom 5:12-14).

וַֽיְחִ֣י אָדָ֗ם שְׁלֹשִׁ֤ים וּמְאַת֙ שָׁנָ֔ה וַיּ֥וֹלֶד
and=he/it_lived humankind thirty and=one_hundred year and=he/it_fathered
Each translation team needs to decide how they are going to write large numbers in the Bible. Many teams use numerals, for example, 130 here in verse 3, especially if the target language has a complicated counting system. Other teams prefer to use words, for example, “one hundred thirty” here. Be consistent in what you do throughout your translation. Alternate translation: “When Adam had lived 130 years, he had a son” or “When Adam was 130 years old, he fathered a son”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet
בִּדְמוּת֖וֹ כְּצַלְמ֑וֹ
in=his/its=resemblance/likeness according_to=his/its=illusion/resemblance
These two phrases have similar meanings and emphasize that Seth was similar to Adam in many ways. See how you translated similar phrases in Gen 1:26. Alternate translation: “who was a human being like himself and looked like him,”
וַיִּקְרָ֥א אֶת שְׁמ֖וֹ שֵֽׁת
and=he/it_called DOM his/its=name Shet/Shēt
For some languages it is more natural to begin a new sentence here. Do what is best in your language. Alternate translation: “and Adam named him Seth.” or “Adam named his son Seth.”
