Genesis 4
1 And the man knew Eve his wife, and she conceived, and bore Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from Jehovah.
Adam vero cognovit uxorem suam Hevam: quæ concepit et peperit Cain, dicens: Possedi hominem per Deum.
2 And again she bore his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.
Rursumque peperit fratrem eius Abel. Fuit autem Abel pastor ovium, et Cain agricola.
3 And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought an offering to Jehovah of the fruit of the ground.
Factum est autem post multos dies ut offerret Cain de fructibus terræ munera Domino.
4 And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat of it. And Jehovah had respect to Abel and to his offering,
Abel quoque obtulit de primogenitis gregis sui, et de adipibus eorum: et respexit Dominus ad Abel, et ad munera eius.
5 but he did not have respect to Cain and to his offering. And Cain was very angry, and his countenance fell.
Ad Cain vero, et ad munera illius non respexit: iratusque est Cain vehementer, et concidit vultus eius.
6 And Jehovah said to Cain, Why are thou angry? And why has thy countenance fallen?
Dixitque Dominus ad eum: Quare iratus es? et cur concidit facies tua?
7 If thou do well, shall thou not be accepted? And if thou do not well, sin crouches at the door. Its desire shall be for thee, and thou shall rule over it.
Nonne si bene egeris, recipies: sin autem male, statim in foribus peccatum aderit? sed sub te erit appetitus eius, et tu dominaberis illius.
8 And Cain told Abel his brother. And it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and killed him.
Dixitque Cain ad Abel fratrem suum: Egrediamur foras. Cumque essent in agro, consurrexit Cain adversus fratrem suum Abel, et interfecit eum.
9 And Jehovah said to Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not. Am I my brother's keeper?
Et ait Dominus ad Cain: Ubi est Abel frater tuus? Qui respondit: Nescio: Num custos fratris mei sum ego?
10 And he said, What have thou done? The voice of thy brother's blood cries to me from the ground.
Dixitque ad eum: Quid fecisti? vox sanguinis fratris tui clamat ad me de terra.
11 And now cursed are thou from the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand.
Nunc igitur maledictus eris super terram, quæ aperuit os suum, et suscepit sanguinem fratris tui de manu tua.
12 When thou till the ground, it shall not henceforth yield to thee its strength. A fugitive and a wanderer thou shall be on the earth.
Cum operatus fueris eam, non dabit tibi fructus suos: vagus et profugus eris super terram.
13 And Cain said to Jehovah, My punishment is greater than I can bear.
Dixitque Cain ad Dominum: Maior est iniquitas mea, quam ut veniam merear.
14 Behold, thou have driven me out this day from the face of the ground, and I shall be hid from thy face, and I shall be a fugitive and a wanderer in the earth. And it shall come to pass, that whoever finds me shall slay me.
Ecce eiicis 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 And Jehovah said to him, Therefore whoever kills Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And Jehovah appointed a sign for Cain, lest any who finds him should smite him.
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 And Cain went out from the presence of Jehovah, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.
Egressusque Cain a facie Domini, habitavit profugus in terra ad orientalem plagam Eden.
17 And Cain knew his wife, and she conceived, and bore Enoch. And Cain built a city, and called the name of the city after the name of his son, Enoch.
Cognovit autem Cain uxorem suam, quæ concepit, et peperit Henoch: et ædificavit civitatem, vocavitque nomen eius ex nomine filii sui, Henoch.
18 And to Enoch was born Irad, and Irad begot Mehujael, and Mehujael begot Methushael, and Methushael begot Lamech.
Porro Henoch genuit Irad, et Irad genuit Maviael, et Maviael genuit Mathusael, et Mathusael genuit Lamech.
19 And Lamech took to him two wives. The name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah.
Qui accepit duas uxores, nomen uni Ada, et nomen alteri Sella.
20 And Adah bore Jabal. He was the father of such as dwell in tents and have cattle.
Genuitque Ada Iabel, qui fuit pater habitantium in tentoriis, atque pastorum.
21 And his brother's name was Jubal. He was the father of all such as handle the harp and pipe.
Et nomen fratris eius Iubal: ipse fuit pater canentium cithara et organo.
22 And Zillah, she also bore Tubal-cain, the forger of every cutting instrument of brass and iron. And the sister of Tubal-cain was Naamah.
Sella quoque genuit Tubalcain, qui fuit malleator et faber in cuncta opera æris et ferri. Soror vero Tubalcain, Noema.
23 And Lamech said to his wives, Adah and Zillah, Hear my voice, ye wives of Lamech, hearken to my speech. For I have killed a man for wounding me, and a young man for bruising me.
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 If Cain shall be avenged seven fold, truly Lamech seventy-seven fold.
Septuplum ultio dabitur de Cain: de Lamech vero septuagies septies.
25 And Adam knew his wife again, and she bore a son, and called his name Seth. For, she said, God has appointed for me another seed instead of Abel, for Cain killed him.
Cognovit quoque adhuc Adam uxorem suam: et peperit filium, vocavitque nomen eius Seth, dicens: Posuit mihi Deus semen aliud pro Abel, quem occidit Cain.
26 And to Seth, to him also there was born a son, and he called his name Enosh. Then men began to call upon the name of Jehovah.
Sed et Seth natus est filius, quem vocavit Enos: iste cœpit invocare nomen Domini.
