1 Tad cilvēks atzina Ievu, savu sievu, un tā tapa grūta un dzemdēja Kainu, sacīdama: "Es esmu ieguvusi zēnu ar Tā Kunga palīdzību." 2 Un vēl viņa dzemdēja tā brāli Ābelu. Un Ābels kļuva avju gans, bet Kains kļuva zemes kopējs. 3 Pēc kāda laika Kains nesa no zemes augļiem upuri Tam Kungam, 4 un arī Ābels nesa upuri no avju pirmdzimušiem un no viņu taukiem. Un Tas Kungs uzlūkoja Ābelu un viņa upuri. 5 Bet Kainu un viņa upuri Dievs neuzlūkoja. Tad Kains iededzās bardzībā, un viņa vaigs raudzījās nikni. 6 Tad Dievs sacīja Kainam: "Kāpēc tu esi apskaities? Kāpēc tavs vaigs raugās nikni? 7 Vai nav tā: ja tu esi labs, tu savu galvu vari pacelt, bet, ja tu dari ļaunu, tad grēks ir tavu durvju priekšā un tīko pēc tevis. Bet tev būs valdīt pār viņu!" Un Kains runāja ar savu brāli Ābelu. 8 Un notika, kad viņi abi bija tīrumā, Kains cēlās pret savu brāli Ābelu un viņu nokāva. 9 Un Dievs sacīja uz Kainu: "Kur ir Ābels, tavs brālis?" Tas atbildēja: "Es nezinu; vai tad es esmu sava brāļa sargs?" 10 Bet Viņš teica: "Ko tu esi darījis? Tava brāļa asinis brēc uz Mani no zemes. 11 Tādēļ tu būsi nolādēts zemes virsū, kurai bija jāatver sava mute, lai no tavām rokām saņemtu tava brāļa asinis. 12 Kad tu zemi apstrādāsi, tā tev vairs nedos savu spēku; tekulis un bēgulis tu būsi virs zemes!" 13 Tad Kains sacīja Dievam: "Mans noziegums ir tik liels, ka es to nespēju panest. 14 Lūk, Tu šodien mani esi padzinis no zemes virsus, un Tavu acu priekšā man jāpaslēpjas; tekulis un bēgulis es virs zemes esmu kļuvis, un katrs, kas mani atradīs, mani nokaus." 15 Un Dievs sacīja viņam: "Ne tā! Ikvienam, kas Kainu nokauj, tiks septiņkārt atriebts." Un Dievs pielika Kainam zīmi, lai tas, kas viņu sastaptu, to nenokautu. 16 Un Kains aizgāja no Dieva acīm un dzīvoja Noda zemē, austrumos no Ēdenes. 17 Un Kains atzina savu sievu, un tā tapa grūta un dzemdēja viņam Ēnohu. Un viņš uzcēla pilsētu un nosauca pilsētu sava dēla vārdā par Ēnohu. 18 Un Ēnoham tika dzemdēts Irads, bet Irads dzemdināja Mehujaēlu, un Mehujaēls dzemdināja Metusaēlu, un Metusaēls - Lamehu. 19 Bet Lamehs ņēma sev divi sievas; vienas vārds ir Ada, bet otras - Cilla. 20 Un Ada dzemdēja Jābalu, viņš ir tēvs telts iemītniekiem un ganiem. 21 Un viņa brāļa vārds ir Jūbals; viņš ir tēvs tiem, kas spēlē cītaras un stabules. 22 Un arī Cilla dzemdēja - Tubal-Kainu, kas bija visādu vara un dzelzs rīku kalējs; bet Tubal-Kaina māsa bija Naāma. 23 Un Lamehs sacīja savām sievām: "Ada un Cilla! Klausiet manu balsi, Lameha sievas, dzirdiet, ko es jums saku: vīru es nokauju par savu ievainojumu un zēnu par savu vāti. 24 Ja Kains tiek atriebts septiņkārt, tad Lamehs septiņdesmit septiņkārt." 25 Un Ādams vēlreiz atzina savu sievu, un tā viņam dzemdēja dēlu un nosauca tā vārdu: Sets, jo "Dievs man ir devis citu dēlu pēc Ābela, jo to nokāva Kains". 26 Un arī Setam piedzima dēls, un viņš nosauca tā vārdu: Ēnošs. Tas sāka piesaukt Dieva Vārdu.
1 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 Tubal-cain, an instructer of every artificer in brass and iron: and the sister of Tubal-cain 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.
