Young's Literal Translation
And Adam
had
relations
with
his wife Eve
, and she conceived
and gave
birth
to
Cain .
“With
the
help
of
the
LORD
I have brought
forth
a man ,”
she
said.
And the
man
knew
Eve
his wife, and she conceiveth
and beareth
Cain ,
and
saith,
`
I have gotten
a man by
Jehovah;'
Later
she gave
birth
to Cain’s
brother Abel. Now
Abel was
a keeper
of
sheep
, while
Cain was
a
tiller
of the soil
.
and
she addeth
to bear
his
brother ,
even
Abel. And
Abel is
feeding
a flock
, and
Cain hath
been
servant
of the ground
.
So
in
the course
of time,
Cain brought
some
of
the fruit of the soil
as
an
offering
to the
LORD,
And
it
cometh
to
pass
at
the end
of days
that
Cain bringeth
from
the fruit of the ground
a
present
to Jehovah;
while
Abel brought the
best
portions
of
the firstborn
of his flock .
And the
LORD
looked
with
favor
on
Abel and his offering
,
and
Abel ,
he
hath
brought ,
he
also,
from
the female
firstlings
of his flock ,
even
from
their
fat
ones;
and Jehovah
looketh
unto
Abel and unto
his present
,
but
He
had
no
regard
for
Cain and his offering.
So
Cain
became
very angry
, and his countenance fell
.
and
unto
Cain and unto
his present
He
hath
not
looked;
and
it
is
very displeasing
to
Cain
, and his countenance is
fallen
.
“Why
are
you
angry,”
said
the
LORD
to
Cain, “
and why has
your
countenance fallen?
And
Jehovah
saith
unto
Cain, `Why
hast
thou
displeasure?
and why hath
thy
countenance fallen?
If
you
do
what
is right,
will
you
not be
accepted
? But
if you
refuse
to
do
what
is
right
, sin is crouching at
your
door;
it
desires
you
, but
you
must
master
it. ”
Is there
not ,
if
thou
dost
well,
acceptance
? and
if thou
dost
not
well
, at
the
opening
a
sin -offering
is crouching, and
unto
thee
its
desire,
and
thou
rulest
over
it. '
Then
Cain said
to
his brother Abel
, “
Let us go out
to
the field .”
And while
they
were
in the field, Cain rose
up against his brother Abel
and killed
him.
And
Cain saith
unto
Abel
his brother, ``
Let us go into
the field ;''
and it
cometh
to
pass
in their
being
in
the field, that
Cain riseth
up against Abel
his brother ,
and slayeth
him.
And the
LORD
said
to
Cain, “
Where is your
brother
Abel? ”
“I
do
not
know!”
he answered.
“Am
I my brother’s
keeper? ”
And Jehovah
saith
unto
Cain, `
Where `
is '
Abel thy
brother
? '
and
he saith,
`
I have
not
known;
my brother's
keeper --
I
? '
“
What have
you
done? ”
replied
the LORD.
“The
voice of your
brother’s
blood cries
out
to
Me from the ground .
And
He
saith,
`
What hast
thou
done? the voice of thy
brother's
blood is
crying
unto
Me from the ground ;
Now you
are
cursed and
banished
from the ground, which has
opened its
mouth to receive your
brother’s
blood from your
hand .
and
now ,
cursed `art'
thou
from the ground, which hath
opened her
mouth to receive the
blood of
thy
brother
from thy
hand ;
When you
till
the ground, it will
no
longer
yield
its produce
to you.
You
will
be
a
fugitive
and
a wanderer on
the earth. ”
when thou
tillest
the ground, it doth
not
add
to
give
its strength
to thee
--
a wanderer ,
even
a
trembling
one,
thou
art
in
the earth. '
But
Cain said
to
the
LORD
, “
My punishment is
greater
than I
can
bear.
And
Cain saith
unto
Jehovah
, `Greater
is
my punishment than to
be
borne;
Behold
, this
day
You
have
driven me from the face of the earth
, and from Your
face I will
be
hidden
; I
will
be
a
fugitive
and a wanderer on
the earth, and whoever
finds
me will
kill
me. ”
lo
, Thou
hast
driven me to-day
from off
the face of the ground
, and from Thy
face I am
hid
; and I
have
been
a wanderer ,
even
a
trembling
one,
in
the earth, and it
hath
been
--
every
one
finding
me doth
slay
me. '
“Not
so!”
replied
the
LORD.
“If
anyone
slays
Cain
, then
Cain will
be
avenged
sevenfold .”
And the
LORD
placed
a
mark
on
Cain ,
so
that no
one
who
found
him would
kill
him.
And
Jehovah
saith
to
him
, `Therefore
--
of
any
slayer
of
Cain sevenfold it
is
required;'
and Jehovah
setteth
to
Cain a
token
that none
finding
him doth
slay
him.
So
Cain went
out from the
presence
of
the
LORD
and settled
in the land of
Nod
, east of Eden .
And
Cain goeth
out from before
Jehovah,
and dwelleth
in the land, moving
about
east of Eden ;
And Cain had
relations
with
his wife, and she conceived
and gave
birth
to
Enoch .
Then
Cain
built
a city and named
it
after
his son Enoch.
and Cain knoweth
his wife, and she conceiveth,
and beareth
Enoch ;
and
he
is
building
a city ,
and he
calleth
the
name
of
the
city,
according
to
the
name
of
his son --
Enoch.
Now
to Enoch was
born
Irad ,
and Irad was
the
father
of
Mehujael ,
and Mehujael was
the
father
of
Methusael ,
and Methusael was
the
father
of
Lamech.
And
born
to Enoch is
Irad ;
and Irad hath
begotten
Mehujael ;
and Mehujael hath
begotten
Methusael ;
and Methusael hath
begotten
Lamech.
And Lamech married
two women
, one named
Adah and the other
Zillah.
And Lamech taketh
to
himself
two wives
, the
name
of
the
one Adah ,
and the name
of
the
second
Zillah.
Adah gave
birth
to
Jabal ;
he was
the
father of those who
dwell
in
tents and raise
livestock.
And
Adah beareth
Jabal ,
he hath
been
father of those inhabiting
tents and purchased
possessions;
And his
brother’s
name was
Jubal ;
he was
the
father of all
who
play
the
harp and flute
.
and the
name of
his
brother
`is'
Jubal ,
he hath
been
father of every
one
handling
harp and organ
.
And Zillah gave
birth
to
Tubal-cain, a
forger
of every implement
of
bronze
and iron .
And the
sister of Tubal-cain was
Naamah.
And Zillah she
also
bare
Tubal-Cain, an
instructor
of every artificer
in
brass
and iron ;
and a
sister of Tubal-Cain `is'
Naamah.
Then
Lamech said
to his wives: “
Adah and Zillah, hear my voice; wives of Lamech, listen
to my speech.
For I have slain a
man
for wounding
me
, a young man for striking
me.
And
Lamech saith
to his wives: --
`
Adah and Zillah, hear my voice; Wives of Lamech, give
ear
`
to '
my saying:
For a
man
I have slain for my
wound
, Even
a young man for my
hurt;
If
Cain
is
avenged
sevenfold, then
Lamech seventy -
sevenfold. ”
For
sevenfold is
required
for
Cain
, And
for
Lamech seventy and
sevenfold. '
And Adam again had
relations
with
his wife, and she gave
birth
to
a son and named
him
Seth, saying,
“
God has
granted
me another seed in
place
of Abel ,
since
Cain killed
him. ”
And Adam again knoweth
his wife, and she beareth
a son ,
and calleth
his
name
Seth, `for
God hath
appointed
for
me another seed instead
of Abel :'
for
Cain had
slain
him.
And to Seth also a son was
born, and he called
him
Enosh.
At
that
time
men
began
to
call
upon
the
name of the LORD
.
And to Seth ,
to
him
also a son hath
been
born, and he calleth
his
name Enos;
then
a
beginning
was
made
of preaching
in
the name
of
Jehovah
.
