1And 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.The man knew Eve his wife. She conceived, and gave birth to Cain, and said, “I have gotten a man with Yahweh’s help.”And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the Lord.And the man knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man with the help of Jehovah.2Later she gave birth to Cain’s brother Abel. Now Abel was a keeper of sheep, while Cain was a tiller of the soil.Again she gave birth, to Cain’s brother Abel. Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.And again she bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.3So in the course of time, Cain brought some of the fruit of the soil as an offering to the LORD,As time passed, Cain brought an offering to Yahweh from the fruit of the ground.And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the Lord.And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto Jehovah.4while Abel brought the best portions of the firstborn of his flock. And the LORD looked with favor on Abel and his offering,Abel also brought some of the firstborn of his flock and of its fat. Yahweh respected Abel and his offering,And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the Lord had respect unto Abel and to his offering:And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And Jehovah had respect unto Abel and to his offering:5but He had no regard for Cain and his offering. So Cain became very angry, and his countenance fell.but he didn’t respect Cain and his offering. Cain was very angry, and the expression on his face fell.But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.but unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.6“Why are you angry,” said the LORD to Cain, “and why has your countenance fallen?Yahweh said to Cain, “Why are you angry? Why has the expression of your face fallen?And the Lord said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen?And Jehovah said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen?7If 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.”If you do well, won’t it be lifted up? If you don’t do well, sin crouches at the door. Its desire is for you, but you are to rule over it.”If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.If thou doest well, shall it not be lifted up? and if thou doest not well, sin coucheth at the door; and unto thee shall be its desire; but do thou rule over it.8Then 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.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.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 told 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.9And the LORD said to Cain, “Where is your brother Abel?” “I do not know!” he answered. “Am I my brother’s keeper?”Yahweh said to Cain, “Where is Abel, your brother?” He said, “I don’t know. Am I my brother’s keeper?”And the Lord said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother’s keeper?And Jehovah said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: am I my brother’s keeper?10“What have you done?” replied the LORD. “The voice of your brother’s blood cries out to Me from the ground.Yahweh said, “What have you done? The voice of your brother’s blood cries to me from the ground.And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother’s blood crieth unto me from the ground.And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother’s blood crieth unto me from the ground.11Now you are cursed and banished from the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand.Now you are cursed because of the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand.And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother’s blood from thy hand;And now cursed art thou from the ground, which hath opened its mouth to receive thy brother’s blood from thy hand;12When you till the ground, it will no longer yield its produce to you. You will be a fugitive and a wanderer on the earth.”From now on, when you till the ground, it won’t yield its strength to you. You will be a fugitive and a wanderer on the earth.”When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth.when thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee its strength; a fugitive and a wanderer shalt thou be in the earth.13But Cain said to the LORD, “My punishment is greater than I can bear.Cain said to Yahweh, “My punishment is greater than I can bear.And Cain said unto the Lord, My punishment is greater than I can bear.And Cain said unto Jehovah, My punishment is greater than I can bear.14Behold, 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.”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 on the earth. Whoever finds me will kill me.”Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth; and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass, that every one that findeth me shall slay me.Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the ground; and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a wanderer in the earth; and it will come to pass, that whosoever findeth me will slay me.15“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.Yahweh said to him, “Therefore whoever slays Cain, vengeance will be taken on him sevenfold.” Yahweh appointed a sign for Cain, so that anyone finding him would not strike him.And the Lord said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the Lord set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him.And Jehovah said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And Jehovah appointed a sign for Cain, lest any finding him should smite him.16So Cain went out from the presence of the LORD and settled in the land of Nod, east of Eden.Cain left Yahweh’s presence, and lived in the land of Nod, east of Eden.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 from the presence of Jehovah, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.17And 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.Cain knew his wife. She conceived, and gave birth to Enoch. He built a city, and named the city after the name of his son, Enoch.And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch.And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch.18Now 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.Irad was born to Enoch. Irad became the father of Mehujael. Mehujael became the father of Methushael. Methushael became the father of Lamech.And unto Enoch was born Irad: and Irad begat Mehujael: and Mehujael begat Methusael: and Methusael begat Lamech.And unto Enoch was born Irad: and Irad begat Mehujael; and Mehujael begat Methushael; and Methushael begat Lamech.19And Lamech married two women, one named Adah and the other Zillah.Lamech took two wives: the name of the first one was Adah, and the name of the second one was Zillah.And Lamech took unto him two wives: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah.And Lamech took unto him two wives: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah.20Adah gave birth to Jabal; he was the father of those who dwell in tents and raise livestock.Adah gave birth to Jabal, who was the father of those who dwell in tents and have livestock.And Adah bare Jabal: he was the father of such as dwell in tents, and of such as have cattle.And Adah bare Jabal: he was the father of such as dwell in tents and have cattle.21And his brother’s name was Jubal; he was the father of all who play the harp and flute.His brother’s name was Jubal, who was the father of all who handle the harp and pipe.And his brother’s name was Jubal: he was the father of all such as handle the harp and organ.And his brother’s name was Jubal: he was the father of all such as handle the harp and pipe.22And Zillah gave birth to Tubal-cain, a forger of every implement of bronze and iron. And the sister of Tubal-cain was Naamah.Zillah also gave birth to Tubal Cain, the forger of every cutting instrument of bronze and iron. Tubal Cain’s sister was Naamah.And Zillah, she also bare Tubal–cain, an instructer of every artificer in brass and iron: and the sister of Tubal–cain was Naamah.And Zillah, she also bare Tubal-cain, the forger of every cutting instrument of brass and iron: and the sister of Tubal-cain was Naamah.23Then 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.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.And Lamech said unto his wives, Adah and Zillah, Hear my voice; ye wives of Lamech, hearken unto my speech: for I have slain a man to my wounding, and a young man to my hurt.And Lamech said unto his wives: Adah and Zillah, hear my voice; Ye wives of Lamech, hearken unto my speech: For I have slain a man for wounding me, And a young man for bruising me:24If Cain is avenged sevenfold, then Lamech seventy-sevenfold.”If Cain will be avenged seven times, truly Lamech seventy-seven times.”If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, truly Lamech seventy and sevenfold.If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, Truly Lamech seventy and sevenfold.25And 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.”Adam knew his wife again. She gave birth to a son, and named him Seth, saying, “for God has given me another child instead of Abel, for Cain killed him.”And Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son, and called his name Seth: For God, said she, hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew.And Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son, and called his name Seth: For, said she, God hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel; for Cain slew him.26And 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.A son was also born to Seth, and he named him Enosh. At that time men began to call on Yahweh’s name.And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enos: then began men to call upon the name of the Lord.And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enosh. Then began men to call upon the name of Jehovah.
