Genesis 4
1 And Adam had relations with his wife Eve, and she conceived and gave birth to Cain. “With the help of the LORD I have brought forth a man,” she said.
And Adam lay wyth Heua ys wyfe which conceaved and bare Cain and sayd: I haue goten a ma of the LORde.
2 Later she gave birth to Cain’s brother Abel. Now Abel was a keeper of sheep, while Cain was a tiller of the soil.
And she proceded forth and bare hys brother Abell: And Abell became a sheperde And Cain became a ploweman.
3 So in the course of time, Cain brought some of the fruit of the soil as an offering to the LORD,
And it fortuned in processe of tyme that Cain brought of the frute of the erth: an offerynge vnto the LORde.
4 while Abel brought the best portions of the firstborn of his flock. And the LORD looked with favor on Abel and his offering,
And Abell he brought also of the fyrstlynges of hys shepe and of the fatt of them. And the LORde loked vnto Abell and to his offeynge:
5 but He had no regard for Cain and his offering. So Cain became very angry, and his countenance fell.
but vnto Cain and vnto his offrynge looked he not. And Cain was wroth exceadingly and loured.
6 “Why are you angry,” said the LORD to Cain, “and why has your countenance fallen?
And the LORde sayd vnto Cain: why art thou angry and why loureste thou? Wotest thou not yf thou dost well thou shalt receave it?
7 If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you refuse to do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires you, but you must master it.”
But and yf thou dost evell by and by thy synne lyeth open in the dore. Not withstondyng let it be subdued vnto the ad see thou rule it.
8 Then Cain said to his brother Abel, “Let us go out to the field.” And while they were in the field, Cain rose up against his brother Abel and killed him.
And Cain talked wyth Abell his brother. And as soone as they were in the feldes Cain fell vppon Abell his brother and slewe hym
9 And the LORD said to Cain, “Where is your brother Abel?” “I do not know!” he answered. “Am I my brother’s keeper?”
And ye LORde sayd vnto Cain: where is Abell thy brother? And he sayd: I can not tell am I my brothers keper?
10 “What have you done?” replied the LORD. “The voice of your brother’s blood cries out to Me from the ground.
And he sayd: What hast thou done? the voyce of thy brothers bloud cryeth vnto me out of the erth.
11 Now you are cursed and banished from the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand.
And now cursed be thou as pertaynyng to the erth which opened hyr mouth to receaue thy brothers bloud of thyne hande.
12 When you till the ground, it will no longer yield its produce to you. You will be a fugitive and a wanderer on the earth.”
For when thou tyllest the grounde she shall heceforth not geve hyr power vnto the. A vagabunde and a rennagate shalt thou be vpon the erth.
13 But Cain said to the LORD, “My punishment is greater than I can bear.
And Cain sayd vnto the LORde: my synne is greater then that it may be forgeven.
14 Behold, this day You have driven me from the face of the earth, and from Your face I will be hidden; I will be a fugitive and a wanderer on the earth, and whoever finds me will kill me.”
Beholde thou castest me out thys day from of the face of the erth and fro thy syghte must I hyde my selfe ad I must be wandrynge and a vagabunde vpon the erth: Morover whosoever fyndeth me wyll kyll me,
15 “Not so!” replied the LORD. “If anyone slays Cain, then Cain will be avenged sevenfold.” And the LORD placed a mark on Cain, so that no one who found him would kill him.
And the LORde sayd vnto hi Not so but whosoever sleyth Cain shalbe punyshed. vij. folde. And ye LORde put a marke vpo Cain that no ma yt founde hym shulde kyll hym.
16 So Cain went out from the presence of the LORD and settled in the land of Nod, east of Eden.
And Cain went out fro the face of the LORde and dwelt in the lande Nod on the east syde of Eden.
17 And Cain had relations with his wife, and she conceived and gave birth to Enoch. Then Cain built a city and named it after his son Enoch.
And Cain laye wyth hys wyfe which conceaved and bare Henoch. And he was buyldinge a cyte and called the name of it after the name of hys sonne Henoch.
18 Now to Enoch was born Irad, and Irad was the father of Mehujael, and Mehujael was the father of Methusael, and Methusael was the father of Lamech.
And Henoch begat Irad. And Irad begat Mahuiael. And Mahuiael begat Mathusael. And Mathusael begat Lamech.
19 And Lamech married two women, one named Adah and the other Zillah.
And Lamech toke hym two wyves: the one was called Ada and the other Zilla.
20 Adah gave birth to Jabal; he was the father of those who dwell in tents and raise livestock.
And Ada bare Iabal of whome came they that dwell in tentes ad possesse catell.
21 And his brother’s name was Jubal; he was the father of all who play the harp and flute.
And hys brothers name was Iubal: of hym came all that excercyse them selves on the harpe and on the organs
22 And Zillah gave birth to Tubal-cain, a forger of every implement of bronze and iron. And the sister of Tubal-cain was Naamah.
And Zilla she also bare Tubalcain a worker in metall and a father of all that grave in brasse and yeron. And Tubalcains syster was called Naema.
23 Then Lamech said to his wives: “Adah and Zillah, hear my voice; wives of Lamech, listen to my speech. For I have slain a man for wounding me, a young man for striking me.
Then sayd Lamech vnto hys wyves Ada ad Zilla: heare my voyce ye wyves of Lamech and herken vnto my wordes for I haue slayne a man and wounded my selfe and haue slayn a yongman and gotte my selfe strypes:
24 If Cain is avenged sevenfold, then Lamech seventy-sevenfold.”
For Cain shall be avenged sevenfolde: but Lamech seventie tymes sevenfolde.
25 And Adam again had relations with his wife, and she gave birth to a son and named him Seth, saying, “God has granted me another seed in place of Abel, since Cain killed him.”
Adam also laye with hys wyfe yet agayne and she bare a sonne ad called hys name Seth For god (sayd she) hath geven me a nother sonne For Abell whom Cain slewe.
26 And to Seth also a son was born, and he called him Enosh. At that time men began to call upon the name of the LORD.
And Seth begat a sonne and called hys name Enos. And in that tyme began men to call on the name of the LORde.
