创4:1And the man knew Eve his wife, and she conceived and gave birth to Cain and said, I have acquired a man, Jehovah.

创4:2And again she gave birth, to his brother Abel. And Abel was a tender of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.

创4:3And in the course of time Cain brought an offering to Jehovah from the fruit of the ground.

创4:4And Abel also brought an offering, from the firstlings of his flock, that is, from their fat portions. And Jehovah had regard for Abel and for his offering.

创4:5But for Cain and for his offering He had no regard. And Cain became very angry, and his countenance fell.

创4:6And Jehovah said to Cain, Why are you angry, and why has your countenance fallen?

创4:7If you do well, will not your countenance be lifted up? And if you do not do well, sin is crouching at the door; and his desire is for you, but you must rule over him.

创4:8And Cain said to Abel his brother, Let us go into the field. And when they were in the field, Cain rose up against Abel his brother and slew him.

创4:9Then Jehovah said to Cain, Where is Abel your brother? And he said, I do not know. Am I my brother's keeper?

创4:10And He said, What have you done? The voice of your brother's blood is crying out to Me from the ground.

创4:11And now you are cursed from the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother's blood from your hand.

创4:12When you till the ground, it will no longer yield its strength to you. You will be a fugitive and a wanderer on the earth.

创4:13And Cain said to Jehovah, My punishment is greater than I can bear.

创4:14Now You have driven me out this day from the face of the ground, and from Your face I will be hidden; and I will be a fugitive and a wanderer on the earth, and whoever finds me will kill me.

创4:15And Jehovah said to him, Therefore whoever kills Cain, vengeance will be taken on him sevenfold. And Jehovah put a mark on Cain, so that anyone who found him would not strike him.

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

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

创4:18And Irad was born to Enoch, and Irad begot Mehujael, and Mehujael begot Methushael, and Methushael begot Lamech.

创4:19And Lamech took two wives for himself: The name of the first was Adah, and the name of the second Zillah.

创4:20And Adah gave birth to Jabal; he was the father of those who dwell in tents and raise cattle.
