Genesis 4
1 Now Adam had marital relations with his wife Havah, and she conceived, and gave birth to Cain, and said, "I have gotten a man from God."
Afterward the man knew Heuah his wife, which conceiued and bare Kain, and said, I haue obteined a man by the Lord.
2 Again she gave birth, to Cain's brother Hevel. Hevel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.
And againe she brought foorth his brother Habel, and Habel was a keeper of sheepe, and Kain was a tiller of the ground.
3 As time passed, it happened that Cain brought an offering to God from the fruit of the ground.
And in processe of time it came to passe, that Kain brought an oblation vnto the Lord of the fruite of the ground.
4 And Hevel also brought some of the firstborn of his flock and of its fat. And God looked favorably on Hevel and his offering,
And Habel also him selfe brought of the first fruites of his sheepe, and of the fat of them, and the Lord had respect vnto Habel, and to his offering,
5 but he did not look favorably on Cain and his offering. Cain was very angry, and the expression on his face fell.
But vnto Kain and to his offering he had no regarde: wherefore Kain was exceeding wroth, and his countenance fell downe.
6 God said to Cain, "Why are you angry? Why has the expression of your face fallen?
Then ye Lord said vnto Kain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance cast downe?
7 If you do well, will it not be lifted up? If you do not do well, sin lies in wait at the door. It desires to control you, but you must rule over it."
If thou do well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sinne lieth at the doore: also vnto thee his desire shalbe subiect, and thou shalt rule ouer him.
8 Cain said to Hevel, his brother, "Let's go into the field." It happened when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Hevel, his brother, and killed him.
Then Kain spake to Habel his brother. And when they were in the fielde, Kain rose vp against Habel his brother, and slewe him.
9 Then God said to Cain, "Where is Hevel, your brother?" He said, "I do not know. Am I my brother's keeper?"
Then the Lord said vnto Kain, Where is Habel thy brother? Who answered, I cannot tell. Am I my brothers keeper?
10 And God said, "What have you done? The voice of your brother's blood cries out to me from the ground.
Againe he said, What hast thou done? the voyce of thy brothers blood cryeth vnto me from the earth.
11 Now you are cursed because of the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother's blood from your hand.
Now therefore thou art cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receiue thy brothers blood from thine hand.
12 From now on, when you till the ground, it won't yield its strength to you. You shall be a fugitive and a wanderer in the earth."
When thou shalt till the grounde, it shall not henceforth yeelde vnto thee her strength: a vagabond and a runnagate shalt thou be in the earth.
13 Cain said to God, "My punishment is greater than I can bear.
Then Kain said to the Lord, My punishment is greater, then I can beare.
14 Look, you have driven me out this day from the surface of the ground. I will be hidden from your face, and I will be a fugitive and a wanderer in the earth. It will happen that whoever finds me will kill me."
Behold, thou hast cast me out this day from the earth, and from thy face shall I be hid, and shalbe a vagabond, and a runnagate in the earth, and whosoeuer findeth me, shall slay me.
15 And God said to him, "Not so. Whoever kills Cain vengeance will be taken on him sevenfold." And God appointed a sign for Cain, lest any finding him should strike him.
Then the Lord said vnto him, Doubtlesse whosoeuer slayeth Kain, he shalbe punished seue folde. And the Lord set a marke vpon Kain, lest any man finding him should kill him.
16 So Cain went out from the presence of God and lived in the land of Nod, east of Eden.
Then Kain went out from the presence of the Lord, and dwelt in the land of Nod towarde the Eastside of Eden.
17 Cain had marital relations with his wife, and she conceived and gave birth to Hanokh. He built a city and called the name of the city after the name of his son, Hanokh.
Kain also knewe his wife, which conceiued and bare Henoch: and he built a citie, and called the name of the citie by ye name of his sonne, Henoch.
18 To Hanokh was born Irad, and Irad became the father of Mehaiel, and Mehaiel became the father of Methushael, and Methushael became the father of Lamech.
And to Henoch was borne Irad, and Irad begate Mehuiael, and Mehuiael begate Methushael, and Methushael begate Lamech.
19 Lamech took two wives: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah.
And Lamech tooke him two wiues: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah.
20 Adah gave birth to Jabal, who was the father of those who dwell in tents and have livestock.
And Adah bare Iabal, who was the father of such as dwell in the tents, and of such as haue cattell.
21 His brother's name was Jubal, who was the father of all who play the harp and flute.
And his brothers name was Iubal, who was the father of all that play on the harpe and organes.
22 Zillah also gave birth to Tubal Cain, who heated metal and shaped instruments of bronze and iron. Tubal Cain's sister was Naamah.
And Zillah also bare Tubal-kain, who wrought cunningly euery craft of brasse and of yron: and the sister of Tubal-kain was Naamah.
23 Lamech said to his wives, "Adah and Zillah, hear my voice. You wives of Lamech, listen to my speech, for I have slain a man for wounding me, a young man for bruising me.
Then Lamech saide vnto his wiues Adah and Zillah, Heare my voyce, ye wiues of Lamech: hearken vnto my speach: for I would slay a man in my wound, and a yong man in mine hurt.
24 If Cain will be avenged seven times, truly Lamech seventy-seven times."
If Kain shalbe auenged seuen folde, truely Lamech, seuentie times seuen folde.
25 Adam had marital relations with his wife again, and she gave birth to a son, and named him Seth, saying, "For God has appointed me another child instead of Hevel, for Cain killed him."
And Adam knewe his wife againe, and she bare a sonne, and she called his name Sheth: for God, saide she, hath appointed me another seede for Habel, because Kain slewe him.
26 And a son was also born to Seth, and he named him Enosh. This one began to call on the name of God.
And to ye same Sheth also there was borne a sonne, and he called his name Enosh. Then beganne men to call vpon the name of the Lord.
