6 And he said Yahweh to Cain why? does it burn to you and why? have they fallen face your.
The LORD said to Cain, “Why are you angry? Why has the expression of your face fallen?
7 ¿ Not if you will do well lifting up and if not you will do well to the door sin [is] crouching and [is] to you desire its and you you will rule over it.
If you do well, will not it be lifted up? If you do not do well, sin crouches at the door. Its desire is for you, but you are to rule over it.”

Cain said to Abel, his brother, “Let’s go into the field.” While they were in the field, Cain rose up against Abel, his brother, and killed him.
9 And he said Yahweh to Cain where? [is] Abel brother your and he said not I know ¿ [the] keeper of brother my [am] I.
The LORD said to Cain, “Where is Abel, your brother?” He said, “I do not know. Am I my brother’s keeper?”
10 And he said what? have you done [the] voice of [the] blood of brother your [are] crying out to me from the ground.
The LORD said, “What have you done? The voice of your brother’s blood cries to me from the ground.
11 And now [are] cursed you from the ground which has opened mouth its to receive [the] blood of brother your from hand your.
Now you are cursed because of the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand.
12 For you will till the ground not will repeat to give produce its to you a wanderer and a fugitive you will be on the earth.
From now on, when you till the ground, it will not yield its strength to you. You will be a fugitive and a wanderer in the earth.”
13 And he said Cain to Yahweh [is too] great punishment my for bearing.
Cain said to the LORD, “My punishment is greater than I can bear.
14 Here! you have driven away me this day from on [the] surface of the ground and from before you I will be hidden and I will be a wanderer and a fugitive on the earth and it will be every [one who] finds me he will kill me.
Behold, you have driven me out today 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. Whoever finds me will kill me.”
