Genesis 4
1 And the man had connection with Eve his wife, and she became with child and gave birth to Cain, and said, I have got a man from the Lord.
And Adam knew Eve his wife, and she conceived and brought forth Cain and said, I have gained a man through God.
2 Then again she became with child and gave birth to Abel, his brother. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a farmer.
And she again bore his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.
3 And after a time, Cain gave to the Lord an offering of the fruits of the earth.
And it was so after some time that Cain brought of the fruits of the earth a sacrifice to the Lord.
4 And Abel gave an offering of the young lambs of his flock and of their fat. And the Lord was pleased with Abel's offering;
And Abel also brought of the firstborn of his sheep and of his fatlings, and God looked upon Abel and his gifts,
5 But in Cain and his offering he had no pleasure. And Cain was angry and his face became sad.
but Cain and his sacrifices he regarded not, and Cain was exceedingly sorrowful and his countenance fell.
6 And the Lord said to Cain, Why are you angry? and why is your face sad?
And the Lord God said to Cain, Why art thou become very sorrowful and why is thy countenance fallen?
7 If you do well, will you not have honour? and if you do wrong, sin is waiting at the door, desiring to have you, but do not let it be your master.
Hast thou not sinned if thou hast brought it rightly, but not rightly divided it? be still, to thee shall be his submission, and thou shalt rule over him.
8 And Cain said to his brother, Let us go into the field: and when they were in the field, Cain made an attack on his brother Abel and put him to death.
And Cain said to Abel his brother, Let us go out into the plain; and it came to pass that when they were in the plain Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.
9 And the Lord said to Cain, Where is your brother Abel? And he said, I have no idea: am I my brother's keeper?
And the Lord God said to Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? and he said, I know not, am I my brother's keeper?
10 And he said, What have you done? the voice of your brother's blood is crying to me from the earth.
And the Lord said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood cries to me out of the ground.
11 And now you are cursed from the earth, whose mouth is open to take your brother's blood from your hand;
And now thou [art] cursed from the earth which has opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand.
12 No longer will the earth give you her fruit as the reward of your work; you will be a wanderer in flight over the earth.
When thou tillest the earth, then it shall not continue to give its strength to thee: thou shalt be groaning and trembling on the earth.
13 And Cain said, My punishment is greater than my strength.
And Cain said to the Lord God, My crime [is] too great for me to be forgiven.
14 You have sent me out this day from the face of the earth and from before your face; I will be a wanderer in flight over the earth, and whoever sees me will put me to death.
If thou castest me out this day from the face of the earth, and I shall be hidden from thy presence, and I shall be groaning and trembling upon the earth, then it will be that any one that finds me shall slay me.
15 And the Lord said, Truly, if Cain is put to death, seven lives will be taken for his. And the Lord put a mark on Cain so that no one might put him to death.
And the Lord God said to him, Not so, any one that slays Cain shall suffer seven-fold vengeance; and the Lord God set a mark upon Cain that no one that found him might slay him.
16 And Cain went away from before the face of the Lord, and made his living-place in the land of Nod on the east of Eden.
So Cain went forth from the presence of God and dwelt in the land of Nod over against Edem.
17 And Cain had connection with his wife and she became with child and gave birth to Enoch: and he made a town, and gave the town the name of Enoch after his son.
And Cain knew his wife, and having conceived she bore Enoch; and he built a city; and he named the city after the name of his son, Enoch.
18 And Enoch had a son Irad: and Irad became the father of Mehujael: and Mehujael became the father of Methushael: and Methushael became the father of Lamech.
And to Enoch was born Gaidad; and Gaidad begot Maleleel; and Maleleel begot Mathusala; and Mathusala begot Lamech.
19 And Lamech had two wives; the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah.
And Lamech took to himself two wives; the name of the one was Ada, and the name of the second Sella.
20 And Adah gave birth to Jabal: he was the father of such as are living in tents and keep cattle.
And Ada bore Jobel; he was the father of those that dwell in tents, feeding cattle.
21 And his brother's name was Jubal: he was the father of all players on instruments of music.
And the name of his brother was Jubal; he it was who invented the psaltery and harp.
22 And Zillah gave birth to Tubal-cain, who is the father of every maker of cutting instruments of brass and iron: and the sister of Tubal-cain was Naamah.
And Sella also bore Thobel; he was a smith, a manufacturer both of brass and iron; and the sister of Thobel was Noëma.
23 And Lamech said to his wives, Adah and Zillah, give ear to my voice; you wives of Lamech, give attention to my words, for I would put a man to death for a wound, and a young man for a blow;
And Lamech said to his wives, Ada and Sella, Hear my voice, ye wives of Lamech, consider my words, because I have slain a man to my sorrow and a youth to my grief.
24 If seven lives are to be taken as punishment for Cain's death, seventy-seven will be taken for Lamech's.
Because vengeance has been exacted seven times on Cain's behalf, on Lamech's [it shall be] seventy times seven.
25 And Adam had connection with his wife again, and she gave birth to a son to whom she gave the name of Seth: for she said, God has given me another seed in place of Abel, whom Cain put to death.
And Adam knew Eve his wife, and she conceived and bore a son, and called his name Seth, saying, For God has raised up to me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew.
26 And Seth had a son, and he gave him the name of Enosh: at this time men first made use of the name of the Lord in worship.
And Seth had a son, and he called his name Enos: he hoped to call on the name of the Lord God.
