Genesis 4
1 And Man knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bore Cain, and said, I have acquired a man with Jehovah.
Adam vero cognovit uxorem suam Hevam, quæ concepit et peperit Cain, dicens: Possedi hominem per Deum.
2 And she further bore his brother Abel. And Abel was a shepherd, but Cain was a husbandman.
Rursumque peperit fratrem ejus Abel. Fuit autem Abel pastor ovium, et Cain agricola.
3 And in process of time it came to pass that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering to Jehovah.
Factum est autem post multos dies ut offerret Cain de fructibus terræ munera Domino.
4 And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock, and of their fat. And Jehovah looked upon Abel, and on his offering;
Abel quoque obtulit de primogenitis gregis sui, et de adipibus eorum: et respexit Dominus ad Abel, et ad munera ejus.
5 and upon Cain, and on his offering, he did not look. And Cain was very angry, and his countenance fell.
Ad Cain vero, et ad munera illius non respexit: iratusque est Cain vehementer, et concidit vultus ejus.
6 And Jehovah said to Cain, Why art thou angry, and why is thy countenance fallen?
Dixitque Dominus ad eum: Quare iratus es? et cur concidit facies tua?
7 If thou doest well, will not [thy countenance] look up [with confidence]? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door; and unto thee [shall be] his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.
nonne si bene egeris, recipies: sin autem male, statim in foribus peccatum aderit? sed sub te erit appetitus ejus, et tu dominaberis illius.
8 And Cain spoke to Abel his brother, and it came to pass when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.
Dixitque Cain ad Abel fratrem suum: Egrediamur foras. Cumque essent in agro, consurrexit Cain adversus fratrem suum Abel, et interfecit eum.
9 And Jehovah said to Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: am I my brother's keeper?
Et ait Dominus ad Cain: Ubi est Abel frater tuus? Qui respondit: Nescio: num custos fratris mei sum ego?
10 And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood is crying to me from the ground.
Dixitque ad eum: Quid fecisti? vox sanguinis fratris tui clamat ad me de terra.
11 And now be thou cursed from the ground, which hath opened its mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand.
Nunc igitur maledictus eris super terram, quæ aperuit os suum, et suscepit sanguinem fratris tui de manu tua.
12 When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield thee its strength; a wanderer and fugitive shalt thou be on the earth.
Cum operatus fueris eam, non dabit tibi fructus suos: vagus et profugus eris super terram.
13 And Cain said to Jehovah, My punishment is too great to be borne.
Dixitque Cain ad Dominum: Major est iniquitas mea, quam ut veniam merear.
14 Behold, thou hast driven me this day from the face of the ground, and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a wanderer and fugitive on the earth; and it will come to pass, [that] every one who finds me will slay me.
Ecce ejicis me hodie a facie terræ, et a facie tua abscondar, et ero vagus et profugus in terra: omnis igitur qui invenerit me, occidet me.
15 And Jehovah said to him, Therefore, whoever slayeth Cain, it shall be revenged sevenfold. And Jehovah set a mark on Cain, lest any finding him should smite him.
Dixitque ei Dominus: Nequaquam ita fiet: sed omnis qui occiderit Cain, septuplum punietur. Posuitque Dominus Cain signum, ut non interficeret eum omnis qui invenisset eum.
16 And Cain went out from the presence of Jehovah, and dwelt in the land of Nod, toward the east of Eden.
Egressusque Cain a facie Domini, habitavit profugus in terra ad orientalem plagam Eden.
17 And Cain knew his wife, and she conceived and bore Enoch. And he built a city; and he called the name of the city after the name of his son Enoch.
Cognovit autem Cain uxorem suam, quæ concepit, et peperit Henoch: et ædificavit civitatem, vocavitque nomen ejus ex nomine filii sui, Henoch.
18 And to Enoch was born Irad; and Irad begot Mehujael; and Mehujael begot Methushael; and Methushael begot Lemech.
Porro Henoch genuit Irad, et Irad genuit Maviaël, et Maviaël genuit Mathusaël, et Mathusaël genuit Lamech.
19 And Lemech took two wives: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the second, Zillah.
Qui accepit duas uxores, nomen uni Ada, et nomen alteri Sella.
20 And Adah bore Jabal: he was the father of those who dwell in tents, and [breed] cattle.
Genuitque Ada Jabel, qui fuit pater habitantium in tentoriis, atque pastorum.
21 And his brother's name was Jubal: he was the father of those who handle the harp and pipe.
Et nomen fratris ejus Jubal: ipse fuit pater canentium cithara et organo.
22 And Zillah, she also bore Tubal-Cain, the forger of every kind of tool of brass and iron. And the sister of Tubal-Cain was Naamah.
Sella quoque genuit Tubalcain, qui fuit malleator et faber in cuncta opera æris et ferri. Soror vero Tubalcain, Noëma.
23 And Lemech said to his wives: Adah and Zillah, hear my voice, Ye wives of Lemech, listen to my speech. For I have slain a man for my wound, and a youth for my bruise.
Dixitque Lamech uxoribus suis Adæ et Sellæ: Audite vocem meam, uxores Lamech; auscultate sermonem meum: quoniam occidi virum in vulnus meum, et adolescentulum in livorem meum.
24 If Cain shall be avenged seven-fold; Lemech seventy and seven fold.
Septuplum ultio dabitur de Cain: de Lamech vero septuagies septies.
25 And Adam knew his wife again, and she bore a son, and called his name Seth: ...For God has appointed me another seed instead of Abel, because Cain has slain him.
Cognovit quoque adhuc Adam uxorem suam: et peperit filium, vocavitque nomen ejus Seth, dicens: Posuit mihi Deus semen aliud pro Abel, quem occidit Cain.
26 And to Seth, to him also was born a son; and he called his name Enosh. Then people began to call on the name of Jehovah.
Sed et Seth natus est filius, quem vocavit Enos: iste cœpit invocare nomen Domini.
