Genesis 4
1 And the man knew Eve his wife: and she conceived, and bore Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the Lord.
And Adam lay wyth Heua ys wyfe which conceaved and bare Cain and sayd: I haue goten a ma of the LORde.
2 And she bore again, his brother, Abel; and Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.
And she proceded forth and bare hys brother Abell: And Abell became a sheperde And Cain became a ploweman.
3 And it came to pass in process of time, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground and offering unto the Lord.
And it fortuned in processe of tyme that Cain brought of the frute of the erth: an offerynge vnto the LORde.
4 And Abel—he also brought of the firstlings of his flock, and of the fattest thereof; and the Lord had respect unto Abel and to 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 unto Cain and to his offering he had no respect; and it was very displeasing to Cain, and his countenance fell.
but vnto Cain and vnto his offrynge looked he not. And Cain was wroth exceadingly and loured.
6 And the Lord said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy 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 thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door; and unto thee is its desire, but thou canst rule over 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 And Cain talked with 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.
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 unto Cain, Where is Abel they brother? and he said, I know not; 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 And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto 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 And now be thou cursed from the ground, which hath opened its mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy 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 thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield its strength unto thee; fugitive and vagabond shalt thou be 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 And Cain said unto 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, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the ground; and from thy face shall I be hid; and if I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond on the earth, it will come to pass, that every one that findeth me will slay 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 And the Lord said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him seven-fold. And the Lord set a sign unto Cain, that any one finding him should not 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 And Cain went out from the presence of the Lord, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the 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 knew his wife, and she conceived, and bore Enoch; and he built a city, and called the name of the city after the name of 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 And unto Enoch was born Irad; and Irad begat Mechujael: and Mechujael begat Methushael; and Methushael begat Lemech.
And Henoch begat Irad. And Irad begat Mahuiael. And Mahuiael begat Mathusael. And Mathusael begat Lamech.
19 And Lemech took unto himself two wives, the name of one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah.
And Lamech toke hym two wyves: the one was called Ada and the other Zilla.
20 And Adah bore Jabal; he was the father of such as dwell in tents, and have cattle.
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 such as play on the harp and guitar.
And hys brothers name was Iubal: of hym came all that excercyse them selves on the harpe and on the organs
22 And Zillah, she also bore Tubal-cain, an artificer in every article of copper 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 And Lemech said unto his wives, Adah and Zillah, hear my voice; ye wives of Lemech, hearken unto my speech; for I have slain a man to my own wounding, and a young-man to my hurt.
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 shall be avenged seven-fold, truly Lemech seventy and seven-fold.
For Cain shall be avenged sevenfolde: but Lamech seventie tymes sevenfolde.
25 And Adam knew his wife again, and she bore a son, and called his name Sheth [[Seth]]; for God [said she] hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew.
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 Sheth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enosh: then began men 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.
