Genesis 4
Ang Biblia (1978)
Si Cain at si Abel.
4 At nakilala ng lalake si Eva na kaniyang asawa; at siya'y naglihi at ipinanganak si Cain, at sinabi, Nagkaanak ako ng lalake sa tulong ng Panginoon.
2 At sa muli ay ipinanganak ang kaniyang kapatid na si Abel. At si Abel ay tagapagalaga ng mga tupa; datapuwa't si Cain ay mangbubukid ng lupa.
3 At nangyari nang lumalakad ang panahon ay nagdala si Cain ng isang handog na mga (A)bunga ng lupa sa Panginoon.
4 At nagdala rin naman si Abel ng mga (B)panganay ng kaniyang kawan at ng mga taba ng mga yaon. (C)At nilingap ng Panginoon si Abel at ang kaniyang handog:
5 Datapuwa't hindi nilingap si Cain at ang kaniyang handog. At naginit na mainam si Cain, at namanglaw ang kaniyang mukha.
6 At sinabi ng Panginoon kay Cain, Bakit ka naginit? at bakit namanglaw ang iyong mukha?
7 Kung ikaw ay gumawa ng mabuti, di ba ikaw mamarapatin? at kung hindi ka gumawa ng mabuti, ay nahahandusay ang kasalanan sa pintuan: at (D)sa iyo'y pahihinuhod ang kaniyang nasá, at ikaw ang papanginoonin niya.
Pagpatay kay Abel.
8 At yao'y sinabi ni Cain sa kaniyang kapatid na kay Abel. At nangyari, nang sila'y nasa parang ay nagtindig si Cain laban kay Abel na kaniyang kapatid, (E)at siya'y kaniyang pinatay.
9 At sinabi ng Panginoon kay Cain, Saan naroon si Abel na iyong kapatid? At sinabi niya, (F)Aywan ko: ako ba'y tagapagbantay sa aking kapatid?
10 At sinabi niya, Anong iyong ginawa? ang tinig ng dugo ng iyong kapatid ay (G)dumadaing sa akin mula sa lupa.
11 At ngayo'y sinumpa ka sa lupa na siyang nagbuka ng bibig na tumanggap sa iyong kamay ng dugo ng iyong kapatid;
12 Pagbubukid mo ng lupa, ay di na ibibigay mula ngayon sa iyo ang kaniyang lakas; ikaw ay magiging palaboy at hampas-lupa sa lupa.
13 At sinabi ni Cain sa Panginoon, Ang aking kaparusahan ay higit kaysa mababata ko.
14 (H)Narito, ako'y iyong itinataboy ngayon mula sa ibabaw ng lupa, (I)at sa iyong harapan ay magtatago ako; at ako'y magiging palaboy at hampas-lupa; at mangyayari, na (J)sinomang makasumpong sa akin ay papatayin ako.
15 At sinabi sa kaniya ng Panginoon, Dahil dito'y sinomang pumatay kay Cain ay (K)makapitong gagantihan. At nilagyan ng Panginoon ng isang (L)tanda si Cain, baka siya'y sugatan ng sinomang makakasumpong sa kaniya.
16 At umalis si Cain sa harapan ng Panginoon at tumahan sa lupain ng Nod, sa silanganan ng Eden.
17 At nakilala ni Cain ang kaniyang asawa, at siya'y naglihi at ipinanganak si Enoc: at siya'y nagtayo ng isang bayan at tinawag ang bayan ayon sa pangalan ng kaniyang anak, Enoc.
18 At naging anak ni Enoc si Irad; at naging anak ni Irad si Mehujael; at naging anak ni Mehujael si Metusael; at naging anak ni Metusael si Lamec.
19 At si Lamec ay nagasawa ng dalawa; ang pangalan ng isa'y Ada, at ang pangalan ng ikalawa ay Zilla.
20 At naging anak ni Ada si Jabal: na siyang naging magulang ng nangagsisitahan sa mga tolda at may mga hayop.
21 At ang pangalan ng kaniyang kapatid ay Jubal: na siyang naging magulang ng lahat na tumutugtog ng alpa at ng flauta.
22 At tungkol kay Zilla, ay ipinanganak naman niya si Tubal-Cain na mamamanday ng lahat na kagamitang patalim na tanso at bakal: at ang kapatid na babae ni Tubal-Cain ay si Naama.
23 At sinabi ni Lamec sa kaniyang mga asawa:
Ada at Zilla pakinggan ninyo ang aking tinig:
Kayong mga asawa ni Lamec ay makinig ng aking salaysay:
Sapagka't pumatay ako ng isang tao, dahil sa ako'y sinugatan,
At ng isang binata, dahil sa ako'y hinampas.
24 Kung (M)makapitong gagantihan si Cain, tunay na si Lamec ay makapitong pung pito.
Panganganak kay Set.
25 At nakilalang muli ni Adam ang kaniyang asawa; at nanganak ng isang lalake, (N)at tinawag ang kaniyang pangalan na Set;[a] sapagka't aniya'y binigyan ako ng Dios ng ibang anak na kahalili ni Abel; sapagka't siya'y pinatay ni Cain.
26 At (O)nagkaanak naman si Set ng isang lalake; at tinawag ang kaniyang pangalan na Enos. (P)Noon ay pinasimulan ng mga tao ang pagtawag sa pangalan ng Panginoon.

Genesis 4
International Children’s Bible
The First Family
4 Adam had intimate relations with his wife Eve. She became pregnant and gave birth to Cain.[a] Eve said, “With the Lord’s help, I have given birth to a man.” 2 After that, Eve gave birth to Cain’s brother Abel. Abel took care of sheep. Cain became a farmer.
3 Later, Cain brought a gift to God. He brought some food from the ground. 4 Abel brought the best parts of his best sheep. The Lord accepted Abel and his gift. 5 But God did not accept Cain and his gift. Cain became very angry and looked unhappy.
6 The Lord asked Cain, “Why are you angry? Why do you look so unhappy? 7 If you do good, I will accept you. But if you do not do good, sin is ready to attack you. Sin wants you. But you must rule over it.”
8 Cain said to his brother Abel, “Let’s go out into the field.” So Cain and Abel went into the field. Then Cain attacked his brother Abel and killed him.
9 Later, the Lord said to Cain, “Where is your brother Abel?”
Cain answered, “I don’t know. Is it my job to take care of my brother?”
10 Then the Lord said, “What have you done? Your brother’s blood is on the ground. That blood is like a voice that tells me what happened. 11 And now you will be cursed in your work with the ground. It is the same ground where your brother’s blood fell. Your hands killed him. 12 You will work the ground. But it will not grow good crops for you anymore. You will wander around on the earth.”
13 Then Cain said to the Lord, “This punishment is more than I can stand! 14 Look! You have forced me to stop working the ground. And now I must hide from you. I will wander around on the earth. And anyone who meets me can kill me.”
15 Then the Lord said to Cain, “No! If anyone kills you, I will punish that person seven times more.” Then the Lord put a mark on Cain. It was a warning to anyone who met him not to kill him.
Cain’s Family
16 Then Cain went away from the Lord. Cain lived in the land of Nod,[b] east of Eden. 17 Cain had intimate relations with his wife. She became pregnant and gave birth to Enoch. At that time Cain was building a city. He named it after his son Enoch. 18 Enoch had a son named Irad. Irad had a son named Mehujael. Mehujael had a son named Methushael. And Methushael had a son named Lamech.
19 Lamech married two women. One wife was named Adah, and the other was Zillah. 20 Adah gave birth to Jabal. He was the first person to live in tents and raise cattle. 21 Jabal’s brother was Jubal. Jubal was the first person to play the harp and flute. 22 Zillah gave birth to Tubal-Cain. He made tools out of bronze and iron. The sister of Tubal-Cain was Naamah.
23 Lamech said to his wives:
“Adah and Zillah, hear my voice!
You wives of Lamech, listen to what I say.
I killed a man for wounding me.
I killed a young man for hitting me.
24 Cain’s killer may be punished 7 times.
Then Lamech’s killer will be punished 77 times.”
Adam and Eve Have a New Son
25 Adam had intimate relations with his wife Eve again. And she gave birth to a son. She named him Seth.[c] Eve said, “God has given me another child. He will take the place of Abel, who was killed by Cain.” 26 Seth also had a son. They named him Enosh. At that time people began to pray to the Lord.
