< Genesis 4 >
1 And the man he knew Eve wife his and she conceived and she bore Cain and she said I have acquired a man with Yahweh.
Truly, Adam knew his wife Eve, who conceived and gave birth to Cain, saying, “I have obtained a man through God.”
2 And she repeated to give birth to brother his Abel and he was Abel a herder of sheep and Cain he was a tiller of [the] ground.
And again she gave birth to his brother Abel. But Abel was a pastor of sheep, and Cain was a farmer.
3 And it happened from [the] end of days and he brought Cain some of [the] fruit of the ground an offering to Yahweh.
Then it happened, after many days, that Cain offered gifts to the Lord, from the fruits of the earth.
4 And Abel he brought also he some of [the] firstborn of flock his and some of fat their and he looked Yahweh to Abel and to offering his.
Abel likewise offered from the firstborn of his flock, and from their fat. And the Lord looked with favor on Abel and his gifts.
5 And to Cain and to offering his not he looked and burned to Cain exceedingly and they fell face his.
Yet in truth, he did not look with favor on Cain and his gifts. And Cain was vehemently angry, and his countenance fell.
6 And he said Yahweh to Cain why? does it burn to you and why? have they fallen face your.
And the Lord said to him: “Why are you angry? And why is 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 behave well, will you not receive? But if you behave badly, will not sin at once be present at the door? And so its desire will be within you, and you will be dominated by it.”
8 And he said Cain to Abel brother his (let us go [into] the field *X*) and it was when were they in the field and he rose up Cain against Abel brother his and he killed him.
And Cain said to his brother Abel, “Let us go outside.” And when they were in the field, Cain rose up against his brother Abel, and he put him to death.
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.
And the Lord said to Cain, “Where is your brother Abel?” And he responded: “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.
And he said to him: “What have you done? The voice of your brother’s blood cries out to me from the land.
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, therefore, you will be cursed upon the land, which opened its mouth and received the blood of your brother at 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.
When you work it, it will not give you its fruit; a vagrant and a fugitive shall you be upon the land.”
13 And he said Cain to Yahweh [is too] great punishment my for bearing.
And Cain said to the Lord: “My iniquity is too great to deserve kindness.
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 cast me out this day before the face of the earth, and from your face I will be hidden; and I will be a vagrant and a fugitive on the earth. Therefore, anyone who finds me will kill me.”
15 And he said to him Yahweh therefore any [one who] kills Cain sevenfold he will be avenged and he appointed Yahweh for Cain a sign to not to strike him any [one who] found him.
And the Lord said to him: “By no means will it be so; rather, whoever would kill Cain, will be punished sevenfold.” And the Lord placed a seal upon Cain, so that anyone who found him would not put him to death.
16 And he went out Cain from to before Yahweh and he dwelt in [the] land of Nod [the] east of Eden.
And so Cain, departing from the face of the Lord, lived as a fugitive on the earth, toward the eastern region of Eden.
17 And he knew Cain wife his and she conceived and she bore Enoch and he was building a city and he called [the] name of the city according to [the] name of son his Enoch.
Then Cain knew his wife, and she conceived and gave birth to Enoch. And he built a city, and he called its name by the name of his son, Enoch.
18 And he was born to Enoch Irad and Irad he fathered Mehujael and Mehujael he fathered Methushael and Methushael he fathered Lamech.
Thereafter, Enoch conceived Irad, and Irad conceived Mahujael, and Mahujael conceived Mathusael, and Mathusael conceived Lamech.
19 And he took for himself Lamech two wives [the] name of the one [was] Adah and [the] name of the second [was] Zillah.
Lamech took two wives: the name of one was Adah, and the name of the other was Zillah.
20 And she bore Adah Jabal he he was [the] father of dweller[s] of tent and livestock.
And Adah conceived Jabel, who was the father of those who live in tents and are shepherds.
21 And [the] name of brother his [was] Jubal he he was [the] father of every player of harp and flute.
And the name of his brother was Jubal; he was the father of those who sing to the harp and the organ.
22 And Zillah also she she bore Tubal-Cain a sharpener of every worker of bronze and iron and [was] [the] sister of Tubal-Cain Naamah.
Zillah also conceived Tubalcain, who was a hammerer and artisan in every work of brass and iron. In fact, the sister of Tubalcain was Noema.
23 And he said Lamech to wives his O Adah and Zillah listen to voice my O wives of Lamech give ear to speech my that a man I have killed for bruise my and a young man for wound my.
And Lamech said to his wives Adah and Zillah: “Listen to my voice, you wives of Lamech, pay attention to my speech. For I have killed a man to my own harm, and an adolescent to my own bruising.
24 For sevenfold he will be avenged Cain and Lamech seventy and seven.
Sevenfold vengeance will be given for Cain, but for Lamech, seventy-seven times.”
25 And he knew Adam again wife his and she bore a son and she called name his Seth for he has appointed for me God of spring another in place of Abel for he killed him Cain.
Adam also knew his wife again, and she gave birth to a son, and she called his name Seth, saying, “God has given me another offspring, in place of Abel, whom Cain killed.”
26 And to Seth also he he was born a son and he called name his Enosh then it was begun to call on [the] name of Yahweh.
But to Seth also was born a son, whom he called Enos. This one began to invoke the name of the Lord.
