Caim e Abel
4 Adão[a] teve relações com Eva, sua mulher, que engravidou. Quando deu à luz Caim, ela disse: “Com a ajuda do Senhor, tive[b] um filho!”. 2 Tempos depois, deu à luz o irmão de Caim e o chamou de Abel.
Quando os meninos cresceram, Abel se tornou pastor de ovelhas, e Caim cultivava o solo. 3 No tempo da colheita, Caim apresentou parte de sua produção como oferta ao Senhor. 4 Abel, por sua vez, ofertou as melhores porções dos cordeiros dentre as primeiras crias de seu rebanho. O Senhor aceitou Abel e sua oferta, 5 mas não aceitou Caim e sua oferta. Caim se enfureceu e ficou transtornado.
6 “Por que você está tão furioso?”, o Senhor perguntou a Caim. “Por que está tão transtornado? 7 Se você fizer o que é certo, será aceito. Mas, se não o fizer, tome cuidado! O pecado está à porta, à sua espera, e deseja controlá-lo, mas é você quem deve dominá-lo.”
8 Caim sugeriu a seu irmão: “Vamos ao campo”.[c] E, enquanto estavam lá, Caim atacou seu irmão Abel e o matou.
9 Então o Senhor perguntou a Caim: “Onde está seu irmão? Onde está Abel?”.
“Não sei”, respondeu Caim. “Por acaso sou responsável por meu irmão?”
10 Então Deus disse: “O que você fez? Ouça! O sangue de seu irmão clama a mim da terra! 11 O próprio solo, que bebeu o sangue de seu irmão, sangue que você derramou, amaldiçoa você. 12 O solo não lhe dará boas colheitas, por mais que você se esforce! E, de agora em diante, você não terá um lar e andará sem rumo pela terra”.
13 Caim disse ao Senhor: “Meu castigo[d] é pesado demais. Não posso aguentá-lo! 14 Tu me expulsaste da terra e de tua presença e me transformaste num andarilho sem lar. Qualquer um que me encontrar me matará!”.
15 O Senhor respondeu: “Eu castigarei sete vezes mais quem matar você”. Então o Senhor pôs em Caim um sinal para alertar qualquer um que tentasse matá-lo. 16 Caim saiu da presença do Senhor e se estabeleceu na terra de Node,[e] a leste do Éden.
Os descendentes de Caim
17 Caim teve relações com sua mulher, que engravidou e deu à luz Enoque. Então Caim fundou uma cidade, à qual deu o nome de Enoque, como seu filho. 18 Enoque teve um filho chamado Irade. Irade gerou[f] Meujael; Meujael gerou Metusael; Metusael gerou Lameque.
19 Lameque se casou com duas mulheres. A primeira se chamava Ada, e a segunda, Zilá. 20 Ada deu à luz Jabal; ele foi o precursor dos que criam rebanhos e moram em tendas. 21 Seu irmão se chamava Jubal, o precursor dos que tocam harpa e flauta. 22 Zilá, a outra mulher de Lameque, deu à luz um filho chamado Tubalcaim, que se tornou mestre em criar ferramentas de bronze e ferro. Tubalcaim teve uma irmã chamada Naamá. 23 Certo dia, Lameque disse a suas mulheres:
“Ada e Zilá, ouçam minha voz;
escutem o que vou dizer, mulheres de Lameque.
Matei um homem que me atacou,
um rapaz que me feriu.
24 Se aquele que matar Caim será castigado sete vezes,
quem me matar será castigado setenta e sete vezes!”.
O nascimento de Sete
25 Adão teve relações com sua mulher novamente, e ela deu à luz outro filho. Chamou-o de Sete,[g] pois disse: “Deus me concedeu outro filho no lugar de Abel, a quem Caim matou”. 26 Quando Sete chegou à idade adulta, teve um filho e o chamou de Enos. Nessa época, as pessoas começaram a invocar o nome do Senhor.

4 Afterward, the man knew Eve, his wife. Who conceived and bore Cain, and said, “I have obtained a man by the LORD.”
2 And again, she brought forth his brother, Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep; and Cain was a tiller of the ground.
3 And in process of time, it happened that Cain brought an oblation to the LORD from the fruit of the ground.
4 And Abel also brought one from the firstfruits of his sheep (and from the fat of them). And the LORD had respect toward Abel, and to his offering.
5 But to Cain and to his offering He had no regard. Therefore, Cain was exceedingly angry; and his face was cast down.
6 Then the LORD said to Cain, “Why are you angry? And why is your face cast down?
7 “If you do well, shall you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin lies at the door. Also, his desire shall be subject to you; and you shall rule over him.”
8 Then Cain spoke to Abel, his brother. And when they were in the field, Cain rose up against Abel, his brother, and killed him.
9 Then the LORD said to Cain, “Where is Abel, your brother?” He answered, “I cannot tell. Am I my brother’s keeper?”
10 Again He said, “What have you done? The voice of your brother’s blood cries to me from the earth.
11 “Therefore, you are now cursed from the earth, which has opened her mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand.
12 “From now on, when you shall till the ground, it shall not yield her strength to you. A vagabond and a fugitive shall you be on the Earth.”
13 Then Cain said to the LORD, “My punishment is greater than I can bear.
14 “Behold, You have cast me out from the Earth today. And I shall be hidden from Your face and shall be a vagabond and a fugitive on the Earth. And whoever finds me shall kill me.”
15 Then the LORD said to him, “Doubtless, whoever kills Cain, he shall be punished sevenfold.” And the LORD set a mark upon Cain, lest any man finding him should kill him.
16 Then Cain went out from the presence of the LORD and dwelt in the land of Nod, toward the east side of Eden.
17 Cain also knew his wife, who conceived and bore Enoch. And he built a city and called the name of the city by the name of his son, Enoch.
18 And to Enoch was born Irad; and Irad begat Mehujael; and Mehujael begat Methushael; and Methushael begat Lamech.
19 ¶ And Lamech took to him two wives. The name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah.
20 And Adah bore Jabal, who was the father of those who dwell in the tents, and of those who have cattle.
21 And his brother’s name was Jubal, who was the father of all who play on the harp and organs.
22 And Zillah also bore Tubal-Cain, who wrought cunningly every craft of brass and of iron. And the sister of Tubal-Cain was Naamah.
23 Then Lamech said to his wives, Adah and Zillah, “Hear my voice, you wives of Lamech. Listen my speech. For I would kill a man for wounding me, and a young man who hurts me.
24 “If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, truly Lamech seventy times sevenfold.”
25 And Adam knew his wife again, and she bore a son. And she called his name Seth. “For God,” said she, “has appointed another seed to me, to replace Abel, because Cain killed him.”
26 And to the same Seth there was also born a son. And he called his name “Enosh”. Then men began to call upon the Name of the LORD.

Cain and Abel
4 Adam[a] made love to his wife(A) Eve,(B) and she became pregnant and gave birth to Cain.[b](C) She said, “With the help of the Lord I have brought forth[c] a man.” 2 Later she gave birth to his brother Abel.(D)
Now Abel kept flocks, and Cain worked the soil.(E) 3 In the course of time Cain brought some of the fruits of the soil as an offering(F) to the Lord.(G) 4 And Abel also brought an offering—fat portions(H) from some of the firstborn of his flock.(I) The Lord looked with favor on Abel and his offering,(J) 5 but on Cain and his offering he did not look with favor. So Cain was very angry, and his face was downcast.
6 Then the Lord said to Cain, “Why are you angry?(K) Why is your face downcast? 7 If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door;(L) it desires to have you, but you must rule over it.(M)”
8 Now Cain said to his brother Abel, “Let’s go out to the field.”[d] While they were in the field, Cain attacked his brother Abel and killed him.(N)
9 Then the Lord said to Cain, “Where is your brother Abel?”(O)
“I don’t know,(P)” he replied. “Am I my brother’s keeper?”
10 The Lord said, “What have you done? Listen! Your brother’s blood cries out to me from the ground.(Q) 11 Now you are under a curse(R) and driven from the ground, which opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand. 12 When you work the ground, it will no longer yield its crops for you.(S) You will be a restless wanderer(T) on the earth.(U)”
13 Cain said to the Lord, “My punishment is more than I can bear. 14 Today you are driving me from the land, and I will be hidden from your presence;(V) I will be a restless wanderer on the earth,(W) and whoever finds me will kill me.”(X)
15 But the Lord said to him, “Not so[e]; anyone who kills Cain(Y) will suffer vengeance(Z) seven times over.(AA)” Then the Lord put a mark on Cain so that no one who found him would kill him. 16 So Cain went out from the Lord’s presence(AB) and lived in the land of Nod,[f] east of Eden.(AC)
17 Cain made love to his wife,(AD) and she became pregnant and gave birth to Enoch. Cain was then building a city,(AE) and he named it after his son(AF) Enoch. 18 To Enoch was born Irad, and Irad was the father of Mehujael, and Mehujael was the father of Methushael, and Methushael was the father of Lamech.
19 Lamech married(AG) two women,(AH) one named Adah and the other Zillah. 20 Adah gave birth to Jabal; he was the father of those who live in tents and raise livestock. 21 His brother’s name was Jubal; he was the father of all who play stringed instruments(AI) and pipes.(AJ) 22 Zillah also had a son, Tubal-Cain, who forged(AK) all kinds of tools out of[g] bronze and iron. Tubal-Cain’s sister was Naamah.
23 Lamech said to his wives,
“Adah and Zillah, listen to me;
wives of Lamech, hear my words.
I have killed(AL) a man for wounding me,
a young man for injuring me.
24 If Cain is avenged(AM) seven times,(AN)
then Lamech seventy-seven times.(AO)”
25 Adam made love to his wife(AP) again, and she gave birth to a son and named him Seth,[h](AQ) saying, “God has granted me another child in place of Abel, since Cain killed him.”(AR) 26 Seth also had a son, and he named him Enosh.(AS)
At that time people began to call on[i] the name of the Lord.(AT)
