创4:1And Man knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bore Cain, and said, I have acquired a man with Jehovah.

创4:2And she further bore his brother Abel. And Abel was a shepherd, but Cain was a husbandman.

创4:3And in process of time it came to pass that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering to Jehovah.

创4:4And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock, and of their fat. And Jehovah looked upon Abel, and on his offering;

创4:5and upon Cain, and on his offering, he did not look. And Cain was very angry, and his countenance fell.

创4:6And Jehovah said to Cain, Why art thou angry, and why is thy countenance fallen?

创4:7If thou doest well, will not [thy countenance] look up [with confidence]? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door; and unto thee [shall be] his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.

创4:8And Cain spoke to 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.

创4:9And Jehovah said to Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: am I my brother's keeper?

创4:10And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood is crying to me from the ground.

创4:11And now be thou cursed from the ground, which hath opened its mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand.

创4:12When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield thee its strength; a wanderer and fugitive shalt thou be on the earth.

创4:13And Cain said to Jehovah, My punishment is too great to be borne.

创4:14Behold, thou hast driven me this day from the face of the ground, and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a wanderer and fugitive on the earth; and it will come to pass, [that] every one who finds me will slay me.

创4:15And Jehovah said to him, Therefore, whoever slayeth Cain, it shall be revenged sevenfold. And Jehovah set a mark on Cain, lest any finding him should smite him.

创4:16And Cain went out from the presence of Jehovah, and dwelt in the land of Nod, toward the east of Eden.

创4:17And Cain knew his wife, and she conceived and bore Enoch. And he built a city; and he called the name of the city after the name of his son Enoch.

创4:18And to Enoch was born Irad; and Irad begot Mehujael; and Mehujael begot Methushael; and Methushael begot Lemech.

创4:19And Lemech took two wives: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the second, Zillah.

创4:20And Adah bore Jabal: he was the father of those who dwell in tents, and [breed] cattle.
