4 Por Adami njohu Evën, gruan e tij, e cila u ngjiz dhe lindi Kainin, dhe ai tha: "Fitova një burrë nga Zoti".
2 Pastaj lindi Abeli, vëllai i tij. Dhe Abeli u bë bari kopesh, ndërsa Kaini u bë punonjës i tokës.
3 Me kalimin e kohës, Kaini i bëri një ofertë frutash të tokës Zotit;
4 por Abeli i ofroi edhe ai të parëlindurit e kopesë së tij dhe yndyrën e tyre. Dhe Zoti e çmoi Abelin dhe dhuratën e tij,
5 por nuk çmoi Kainin dhe ofertën e tij. Dhe kështu Kaini u pezmatua shumë dhe fytyra e tij mori një pamje të dëshpëruar.
6 Atëherë Zoti i tha Kainit: "Pse je pezmatuar dhe pse fytyra jote është dëshpëruar?
7 Në rast se bën mirë a nuk do të pranohesh? Por në qoftë se bën keq, mëkati po të ruan te porta dhe dëshirat e tij drejtohen ndaj teje; por ti duhet ta sundosh".
8 Dhe Kaini foli me të vëllanë, Abelin; kur u gjendën në fushë, Kaini u ngrit kundër vëllait të tij Abelit dhe e vrau.
9 Atëherë Zoti i tha Kainit: "Ku është vëllait yt Abeli?". Ai u përgjegj: Nuk e di; mos jam unë rojtari i vëllait tim??".
10 Zoti i tha: "Çfarë ke bërë? Zëri i gjakut të vëllait tënd më vëngon nga toka.
11 Dhe ti tani je më i mallkuar se toka që hapi gojën për të marrë gjakun e vëllait tënd nga dora jote.
12 Kur të punosh tokën, ajo nuk do të të japë më prodhimet e saj, dhe ti do të jesh një endacak dhe një ikanak mbi tokë".
13 Atëherë Kaini i tha Zotit; "Ndëshkimi im është tepër i madh aq sa unë nuk mund ta duroj.
14 Ja, ti po më dëbon sot nga faqja e këtij dheu dhe do të fshihem nga fytyra jote; dhe do të bëhem endacak dhe ikanak nëpër botë dhe do të ndodhë që të më vrasë kushdo që do të më gjejë".
15 Dhe Zoti i tha: "Prandaj, kushdo qoftë të vrasë Kainin, do të dënohet shtatë herë". Dhe Zoti vuri një shenjë mbi Kainin, me qëllim që kushdo që ta gjente të mos e vriste.
16 Atëherë Kaini u largua nga prania e Zotit dhe banoi në vendin e quajtur Nod, në lindje të Edenit.
17 Dhe Kaini njohu të shoqen, e cila u ngjiz dhe lindi Enokun. Pastaj Kaini ndërtoi një qytet, të cilit i vuri emrin Enok, emri i të birit.
18 Dhe Enokut i lindi Iradi; Iradit i lindi Mehujaeli; Mehujaelit i lindi Methusaeli dhe Mathusaelit i lindi Lameku.
19 Dhe Lameku mori dy gra: emri i njërës ishte Ada dhe emri i tjetrës Cilah.
20 Dhe Ada lindi Jabalin, që ishte babai i atyre që banojnë nën çadra dhe merren me rritjen e bagëtisë.
21 Por emri i të vëllait ishte Jubal, që ishte babai i gjithë atyre që i binin qestes dhe flautit.
22 Cilah lindi edhe ajo Tubal-kainin, krijuesi i çfarëdo lloji veglash prej bronzi dhe hekuri, dhe motra e Tubal-kainit qe Naama.
23 Pastaj Lameku u tha grave të tij: "Ada dhe Cilah, dëgjoni zërin tim; gra të Lamekut, u vini re fjalëve të mia! Po, unë vrava një njeri sepse më plagosi, dhe një të ri sepse më shkaktoi një irnim.
24 Në rast se do t’i merret hak Kainit shtatë herë, Lamekut do t’i merret hak shtatëdhjetë herë shtatë".
25 Pastaj Adami njohu përsëri gruan e tij, që lindi një djalë dhe e quajti Seth, sepse ajo tha: "Perëndia më dha një tjetër pasardhës në vend të Abelit, që u vra nga Kaini".
26 Edhe Sethit i lindi një djalë, të cilin e quajti Enosh. Atëherë filluan të kërkojnë emrin e Zotit.

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)

King James Version
4 And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the Lord.
2 And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.
3 And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the Lord.
4 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:
5 But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.
6 And the Lord said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen?
7 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.
8 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.
9 And the Lord said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother's keeper?
10 And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground.
11 And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand;
12 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.
13 And Cain said unto the Lord, My punishment is greater than I can bear.
14 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.
15 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.
16 And Cain went out from the presence of the Lord, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.
17 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.
18 And unto Enoch was born Irad: and Irad begat Mehujael: and Mehujael begat Methusael: and Methusael begat Lamech.
19 And Lamech took unto him two wives: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah.
20 And Adah bare Jabal: he was the father of such as dwell in tents, and of such as have cattle.
21 And his brother's name was Jubal: he was the father of all such as handle the harp and organ.
22 And Zillah, she also bare Tubalcain, an instructer of every artificer in brass and iron: and the sister of Tubalcain was Naamah.
23 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.
24 If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, truly Lamech seventy and sevenfold.
25 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.
26 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.
