Genesis 4

KJV

1  And Adam121 knew3045 853 Eve2332 his wife;802 and she conceived,2029 and bore3205 853 Cain,7014 and said,559 I have gotten7069 a man376 from854 the LORD.3068

2  And she again3254 bore3205 853 his brother251 853 Abel.1893 And Abel1893 was1961 a keeper7462 of sheep,6629 but Cain7014 was1961 a tiller5647 of the ground.127

3  And in process4480 7093 of time3117 it came to pass,1961 that Cain7014 brought935 of the fruit4480 6529 of the ground127 an offering4503 unto the LORD.3068

4  And Abel,1893 he1931 also1571 brought935 of the firstlings4480 1062 of his flock6629 and of the fat4480 2459 thereof. And the LORD3068 had respect8159 unto413 Abel1893 and to413 his offering:4503

5  But unto413 Cain7014 and to413 his offering4503 he had not respect.8159 3808 And Cain7014 was very3966 wroth,2734 and his countenance6440 fell.5307

6  And the LORD3068 said559 unto413 Cain,7014 Why4100 art thou wroth?2734 and why4100 is thy countenance6440 fallen?5307

7  If518 thou doest well,3190 shalt thou not3808 be accepted?7613 and if518 thou doest not3808 well,3190 sin2403 lieth7257 at the door.6607 And unto413 thee shall be his desire,8669 and thou859 shalt rule4910 over him.

8  And Cain7014 talked559 with413 Abel1893 his brother:251 and it came to pass,1961 when they were1961 in the field,7704 that Cain7014 rose up6965 against413 Abel1893 his brother,251 and slew2026 him.

9  And the LORD3068 said559 unto413 Cain,7014 Where335 is Abel1893 thy brother?251 And he said,559 I know3045 not:3808 Am I595 my brother's251 keeper?8104

10  And he said,559 What4100 hast thou done?6213 the voice6963 of thy brother's251 blood1818 crieth6817 unto413 me from4480 the ground.127

11  And now6258 art thou859 cursed779 from4480 the earth,127 which834 hath opened6475 853 her mouth6310 to receive3947 thy brother's251 853 blood1818 from thy hand;4480 3027

12  When3588 thou tillest5647 853 the ground,127 it shall not3808 henceforth3254 yield5414 unto thee her strength;3581 a fugitive5128 and a vagabond5110 shalt thou be1961 in the earth.776

13  And Cain7014 said559 unto413 the LORD,3068 My punishment5771 is greater1419 than I can bear.4480 5375

14  Behold,2005 thou hast driven me out1644 853 this day3117 from4480 5921 the face6440 of the earth;127 and from thy face4480 6440 shall I be hid;5641 and I shall be1961 a fugitive5128 and a vagabond5110 in the earth;776 and it shall come to pass,1961 that every one3605 that findeth4672 me shall slay2026 me.

15  And the LORD3068 said559 unto him, Therefore3651 whosoever3605 slayeth2026 Cain,7014 vengeance shall be taken5358 on him sevenfold.7659 And the LORD3068 set7760 a mark226 upon Cain,7014 lest1115 any3605 finding4672 him should kill5221 him.

16  And Cain7014 went out3318 from the presence4480 6440 of the LORD,3068 and dwelt3427 in the land776 of Nod,5113 on the east6926 of Eden.5731

17  And Cain7014 knew3045 853 his wife;802 and she conceived,2029 and bore3205 853 Enoch:2585 and he built1961 1129 a city,5892 and called7121 the name8034 of the city,5892 after the name8034 of his son,1121 Enoch.2585

18  And unto Enoch2585 was born3205 853 Irad:5897 and Irad5897 begot3205 853 Mehujael:4232 and Mehujael4232 begot3205 853 Methusael:4967 and Methusael4967 begot3205 853 Lamech.3929

19  And Lamech3929 took3947 unto him two8147 wives:802 the name8034 of the one259 was Adah,5711 and the name8034 of the other8145 Zillah.6741

20  And Adah5711 bore3205 853 Jabal:2989 he1931 was1961 the father1 of such as dwell3427 in tents,168 and of such as have cattle.4735

21  And his brother's251 name8034 was Jubal:3106 he1931 was1961 the father1 of all3605 such as handle8610 the harp3658 and organ.5748

22  And Zillah,6741 she1931 also1571 bore3205 853 Tubal-cain,8423 an instructor3913 of every3605 artificer2794 in brass5178 and iron:1270 and the sister269 of Tubal-cain8423 was Naamah.5279

23  And Lamech3929 said559 unto his wives,802 Adah5711 and Zillah,6741 Hear8085 my voice;6963 ye wives802 of Lamech,3929 hearken238 unto my speech:565 for3588 I have slain2026 a man376 to my wounding,6482 and a young man3206 to my hurt.2250

24  If3588 Cain7014 shall be avenged5358 sevenfold,7659 truly Lamech3929 seventy7657 and sevenfold.7651

25  And Adam121 knew3045 853 his wife802 again;5750 and she bore3205 a son,1121 and called7121 his 853 name8034 Seth:8352 For3588 God,430 said she, hath appointed7896 me another312 seed2233 instead of8478 Abel,1893 whom Cain7014 slew.2026

26  And to Seth,8352 to him1931 also1571 there was born3205 a son;1121 and he called7121 853 his name8034 Enos:583 then227 began2490 men to call7121 upon the name8034 of the LORD.3068

1 Αδαμ δὲ ἔγνω Ευαν τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ καὶ συλλαβοῦσα ἔτεκεν τὸν Καιν καὶ εἶπεν ἐκτησάμην ἄνθρωπον διὰ τοῦ θεοῦ

2 καὶ προσέθηκεν τεκεῖν τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ τὸν Αβελ καὶ ἐγένετο Αβελ ποιμὴν προβάτων Καιν δὲ ἦν ἐργαζόμενος τὴν γῆν

3 καὶ ἐγένετο μεθ᾽ ἡμέρας ἤνεγκεν Καιν ἀπὸ τῶν καρπῶν τῆς γῆς θυσίαν τῷ κυρίῳ

4 καὶ Αβελ ἤνεγκεν καὶ αὐτὸς ἀπὸ τῶν πρωτοτόκων τῶν προβάτων αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν στεάτων αὐτῶν καὶ ἐπεῖδεν ὁ θεὸς ἐπὶ Αβελ καὶ ἐπὶ τοῖς δώροις αὐτοῦ

5 ἐπὶ δὲ Καιν καὶ ἐπὶ ταῖς θυσίαις αὐτοῦ οὐ προσέσχεν καὶ ἐλύπησεν τὸν Καιν λίαν καὶ συνέπεσεν τῷ προσώπῳ

6 καὶ εἶπεν κύριος ὁ θεὸς τῷ Καιν ἵνα τί περίλυπος ἐγένου καὶ ἵνα τί συνέπεσεν τὸ πρόσωπόν σου

7 οὐκ ἐὰν ὀρθῶς προσενέγκῃς ὀρθῶς δὲ μὴ διέλῃς ἥμαρτες ἡσύχασον πρὸς σὲ ἡ ἀποστροφὴ αὐτοῦ καὶ σὺ ἄρξεις αὐτοῦ

8 καὶ εἶπεν Καιν πρὸς Αβελ τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ διέλθωμεν εἰς τὸ πεδίον καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ εἶναι αὐτοὺς ἐν τῷ πεδίῳ καὶ ἀνέστη Καιν ἐπὶ Αβελ τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀπέκτεινεν αὐτόν

9 καὶ εἶπεν ὁ θεὸς πρὸς Καιν ποῦ ἐστιν Αβελ ὁ ἀδελφός σου ὁ δὲ εἶπεν οὐ γινώσκω μὴ φύλαξ τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ μού εἰμι ἐγώ

10 καὶ εἶπεν ὁ θεός τί ἐποίησας φωνὴ αἵματος τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ σου βοᾷ πρός με ἐκ τῆς γῆς

11 καὶ νῦν ἐπικατάρατος σὺ ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς ἣ ἔχανεν τὸ στόμα αὐτῆς δέξασθαι τὸ αἷμα τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ σου ἐκ τῆς χειρός σου

12 ὅτι ἐργᾷ τὴν γῆν καὶ οὐ προσθήσει τὴν ἰσχὺν αὐτῆς δοῦναί σοι στένων καὶ τρέμων ἔσῃ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς

13 καὶ εἶπεν Καιν πρὸς τὸν κύριον μείζων ἡ αἰτία μου τοῦ ἀφεθῆναί με

14 εἰ ἐκβάλλεις με σήμερον ἀπὸ προσώπου τῆς γῆς καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ προσώπου σου κρυβήσομαι καὶ ἔσομαι στένων καὶ τρέμων ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς καὶ ἔσται πᾶς ὁ εὑρίσκων με ἀποκτενεῖ με

15 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ κύριος ὁ θεός οὐχ οὕτως πᾶς ὁ ἀποκτείνας Καιν ἑπτὰ ἐκδικούμενα παραλύσει καὶ ἔθετο κύριος ὁ θεὸς σημεῖον τῷ Καιν τοῦ μὴ ἀνελεῖν αὐτὸν πάντα τὸν εὑρίσκοντα αὐτόν

16 ἐξῆλθεν δὲ Καιν ἀπὸ προσώπου τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ ᾤκησεν ἐν γῇ Ναιδ κατέναντι Εδεμ

17 καὶ ἔγνω Καιν τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ καὶ συλλαβοῦσα ἔτεκεν τὸν Ενωχ καὶ ἦν οἰκοδομῶν πόλιν καὶ ἐπωνόμασεν τὴν πόλιν ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματι τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ Ενωχ

18 ἐγενήθη δὲ τῷ Ενωχ Γαιδαδ καὶ Γαιδαδ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Μαιηλ καὶ Μαιηλ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Μαθουσαλα καὶ Μαθουσαλα ἐγέννησεν τὸν Λαμεχ

19 καὶ ἔλαβεν ἑαυτῷ Λαμεχ δύο γυναῖκας ὄνομα τῇ μιᾷ Αδα καὶ ὄνομα τῇ δευτέρᾳ Σελλα

20 καὶ ἔτεκεν Αδα τὸν Ιωβελ οὗτος ἦν ὁ πατὴρ οἰκούντων ἐν σκηναῖς κτηνοτρόφων

21 καὶ ὄνομα τῷ ἀδελφῷ αὐτοῦ Ιουβαλ οὗτος ἦν ὁ καταδείξας ψαλτήριον καὶ κιθάραν

22 Σελλα δὲ ἔτεκεν καὶ αὐτὴ τὸν Θοβελ καὶ ἦν σφυροκόπος χαλκεὺς χαλκοῦ καὶ σιδήρου ἀδελφὴ δὲ Θοβελ Νοεμα

23 εἶπεν δὲ Λαμεχ ταῖς ἑαυτοῦ γυναιξίν Αδα καὶ Σελλα ἀκούσατέ μου τῆς φωνῆς γυναῖκες Λαμεχ ἐνωτίσασθέ μου τοὺς λόγους ὅτι ἄνδρα ἀπέκτεινα εἰς τραῦμα ἐμοὶ καὶ νεανίσκον εἰς μώλωπα ἐμοί

24 ὅτι ἑπτάκις ἐκδεδίκηται ἐκ Καιν ἐκ δὲ Λαμεχ ἑβδομηκοντάκις ἑπτά

25 ἔγνω δὲ Αδαμ Ευαν τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ καὶ συλλαβοῦσα ἔτεκεν υἱὸν καὶ ἐπωνόμασεν τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Σηθ λέγουσα ἐξανέστησεν γάρ μοι ὁ θεὸς σπέρμα ἕτερον ἀντὶ Αβελ ὃν ἀπέκτεινεν Καιν

26 καὶ τῷ Σηθ ἐγένετο υἱός ἐπωνόμασεν δὲ τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Ενως οὗτος ἤλπισεν ἐπικαλεῖσθαι τὸ ὄνομα κυρίου τοῦ θεοῦ

1 Adam vero cognovit uxorem suam Hevam, quæ concepit et peperit Cain, dicens: Possedi hominem per Deum.

2 Rursumque peperit fratrem ejus Abel. Fuit autem Abel pastor ovium, et Cain agricola.

3 Factum est autem post multos dies ut offerret Cain de fructibus terræ munera Domino.

4 Abel quoque obtulit de primogenitis gregis sui, et de adipibus eorum: et respexit Dominus ad Abel, et ad munera ejus.

5 Ad Cain vero, et ad munera illius non respexit: iratusque est Cain vehementer, et concidit vultus ejus.

6 Dixitque Dominus ad eum: Quare iratus es? et cur concidit facies tua?

7 nonne si bene egeris, recipies: sin autem male, statim in foribus peccatum aderit? sed sub te erit appetitus ejus, et tu dominaberis illius.

8 Dixitque Cain ad Abel fratrem suum: Egrediamur foras. Cumque essent in agro, consurrexit Cain adversus fratrem suum Abel, et interfecit eum.

9 Et ait Dominus ad Cain: Ubi est Abel frater tuus? Qui respondit: Nescio: num custos fratris mei sum ego?

10 Dixitque ad eum: Quid fecisti? vox sanguinis fratris tui clamat ad me de terra.

11 Nunc igitur maledictus eris super terram, quæ aperuit os suum, et suscepit sanguinem fratris tui de manu tua.

12 Cum operatus fueris eam, non dabit tibi fructus suos: vagus et profugus eris super terram.

13 Dixitque Cain ad Dominum: Major est iniquitas mea, quam ut veniam merear.

14 Ecce ejicis me hodie a facie terræ, et a facie tua abscondar, et ero vagus et profugus in terra: omnis igitur qui invenerit me, occidet me.

15 Dixitque ei Dominus: Nequaquam ita fiet: sed omnis qui occiderit Cain, septuplum punietur. Posuitque Dominus Cain signum, ut non interficeret eum omnis qui invenisset eum.

16 Egressusque Cain a facie Domini, habitavit profugus in terra ad orientalem plagam Eden.

17 Cognovit autem Cain uxorem suam, quæ concepit, et peperit Henoch: et ædificavit civitatem, vocavitque nomen ejus ex nomine filii sui, Henoch.

18 Porro Henoch genuit Irad, et Irad genuit Maviaël, et Maviaël genuit Mathusaël, et Mathusaël genuit Lamech.

19 Qui accepit duas uxores, nomen uni Ada, et nomen alteri Sella.

20 Genuitque Ada Jabel, qui fuit pater habitantium in tentoriis, atque pastorum.

21 Et nomen fratris ejus Jubal: ipse fuit pater canentium cithara et organo.

22 Sella quoque genuit Tubalcain, qui fuit malleator et faber in cuncta opera æris et ferri. Soror vero Tubalcain, Noëma.

23 Dixitque Lamech uxoribus suis Adæ et Sellæ: [Audite vocem meam, uxores Lamech;
auscultate sermonem meum:
quoniam occidi virum in vulnus meum,
et adolescentulum in livorem meum.

24 Septuplum ultio dabitur de Cain:
de Lamech vero septuagies septies.]

25 Cognovit quoque adhuc Adam uxorem suam: et peperit filium, vocavitque nomen ejus Seth, dicens: Posuit mihi Deus semen aliud pro Abel, quem occidit Cain.

26 Sed et Seth natus est filius, quem vocavit Enos: iste cœpit invocare nomen Domini.
