1 Ja Aadam sai ühte oma naise Eevaga, kes sai käima peale ja tõi Kaini ilmale ning ütles: „Ma olen Issanda abiga mehe ilmale toonud!"
2 Ja tema sünnitas taas: ta venna Aabeli. Ja Aabel oli pudulojuste karjane, Kain aga oli põllumees.
3 Ja mõne aja pärast juhtus, et Kain tõi Issandale roaohvri maaviljast,
4 ja ka Aabel tõi oma pudulojuste esimesest soost ning nende rasvast, ja Issand vaatas Aabeli ja tema roaohvri peale,
5 aga Kaini ja tema roaohvri peale ta ei vaadanud. Siis Kain vihastus väga ja lõi pilgu maha.
6 Ja Issand küsis Kainilt: „Mispärast sa vihastud? Ja mispärast sa pilgu maha lööd?
7 Eks ole: kui sa head teed, siis on su pilk tõstetud üles? Aga kui sa head ei tee, siis luurab patt ukse ees ja himustab sind! Kuid sina pead tema üle valitsema!"
8 Ja Kain kõneles oma venna Aabeliga. Ja sündis, kui nad väljal olid, et Kain kippus oma venna Aabeli kallale ja tappis tema.
9 Aga Issand küsis Kainilt: „Kus on su vend Aabel?" Ja tema vastas: „Ei mina tea. Kas ma olen oma venna hoidja?"
10 Ja Tema ütles: „Mis sa oled teinud? Sinu venna vere hääl kisendab maa pealt Minu poole!
11 Aga nüüd ole sa neetud siit maa pealt, mis oma suu on avanud, su venna verd sinu käest vastu võttes!
12 Kui sa harid maad, siis see ei anna sulle enam oma rammu! Sa pead maa peal olema hulkur ja põgenik!"
13 Ja Kain ütles Issandale: „Mu karistus on suurem kui ma suudan kanda!
14 Vaata Sa oled mind täna ära ajanud siit maalt ja ma pean varjule minema Su palge eest ning maa peal olema hulkur ja põgenik! Ja igaüks, kes mind leiab, tapab mu!"
15 Ja Issand ütles temale: „Sellepärast peab igaühele, kes Kaini tapab, seitsmekordselt kätte makstama!" Ja Issand pani Kainile märgi, et leidja teda maha ei lööks.
16 Ja Kain läks ära Issanda palge eest ning elas Noodimaal, hommiku pool Eedenit.
17 Ja Kain sai ühte oma naisega, kes sai käima peale ja tõi ilmale Hanoki; ja ta ehitas ühe linna ning nimetas selle linna oma poja Hanoki nime järgi.
18 Ja Hanokile sündis Iirad, Iiradile sündis Mehuujael, Mehuujaelile sündis Metuusael, Metuusaelile sündis Lemek.
19 Ja Lemek võttis enesele kaks naist: ühe nimi oli Aada ja teise nimi oli Silla.
20 Ja Aada tõi ilmale Jaabali, kes sai nende isaks, kes elasid telkides ja kasvatasid karja.
21 Ja tema venna nimi oli Juubal, kes sai kõigi kandlelööjate ja vilepuhujate isaks.
22 Ja Silla tõi ilmale Tuubal-Kaini, kes õpetas sepist taguma kõiki, kes tegid vask- ja raudsepa tööd; ja Tuubal-Kaini õde oli Naama.
23 Ja Lemek ütles oma naistele: „Aada ja Silla, kuulge mu häält, te Lemeki naised, pange tähele mu kõnet! Jah, haava pärast ma tapan mehe ja verme pärast nooruki!
24 Kui Kaini pärast makstakse kätte seitse korda, siis Lemeki pärast seitsekümmend seitse korda!"
25 Ja Aadam sai taas ühte oma naisega, kes tõi ilmale poja ja pani temale nimeks Sett, öeldes: „Jumal andis mulle teise järeltulija Aabeli asemele, kuna Kain ta tappis."
26 Ja Setile sündis ka poeg, ja ta pani temale nimeks Enos. Sel ajal hakati Issand nime appi hüüdma.
1 And the man had connection with Eve his wife, and she became with child and gave birth to Cain, and said, I have got a man from the Lord.
2 Then again she became with child and gave birth to Abel, his brother. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a farmer.
3 And after a time, Cain gave to the Lord an offering of the fruits of the earth.
4 And Abel gave an offering of the young lambs of his flock and of their fat. And the Lord was pleased with Abel's offering;
5 But in Cain and his offering he had no pleasure. And Cain was angry and his face became sad.
6 And the Lord said to Cain, Why are you angry? and why is your face sad?
7 If you do well, will you not have honour? and if you do wrong, sin is waiting at the door, desiring to have you, but do not let it be your master.
8 And Cain said to his brother, Let us go into the field: and when they were in the field, Cain made an attack on his brother Abel and put him to death.
9 And the Lord said to Cain, Where is your brother Abel? And he said, I have no idea: am I my brother's keeper?
10 And he said, What have you done? the voice of your brother's blood is crying to me from the earth.
11 And now you are cursed from the earth, whose mouth is open to take your brother's blood from your hand;
12 No longer will the earth give you her fruit as the reward of your work; you will be a wanderer in flight over the earth.
13 And Cain said, My punishment is greater than my strength.
14 You have sent me out this day from the face of the earth and from before your face; I will be a wanderer in flight over the earth, and whoever sees me will put me to death.
15 And the Lord said, Truly, if Cain is put to death, seven lives will be taken for his. And the Lord put a mark on Cain so that no one might put him to death.
16 And Cain went away from before the face of the Lord, and made his living-place in the land of Nod on the east of Eden.
17 And Cain had connection with his wife and she became with child and gave birth to Enoch: and he made a town, and gave the town the name of Enoch after his son.
18 And Enoch had a son Irad: and Irad became the father of Mehujael: and Mehujael became the father of Methushael: and Methushael became the father of Lamech.
19 And Lamech had two wives; the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah.
20 And Adah gave birth to Jabal: he was the father of such as are living in tents and keep cattle.
21 And his brother's name was Jubal: he was the father of all players on instruments of music.
22 And Zillah gave birth to Tubal-cain, who is the father of every maker of cutting instruments of brass and iron: and the sister of Tubal-cain was Naamah.
23 And Lamech said to his wives, Adah and Zillah, give ear to my voice; you wives of Lamech, give attention to my words, for I would put a man to death for a wound, and a young man for a blow;
24 If seven lives are to be taken as punishment for Cain's death, seventy-seven will be taken for Lamech's.
25 And Adam had connection with his wife again, and she gave birth to a son to whom she gave the name of Seth: for she said, God has given me another seed in place of Abel, whom Cain put to death.
26 And Seth had a son, and he gave him the name of Enosh: at this time men first made use of the name of the Lord in worship.
