1. And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD.
|
1. And the man had sexual relations with his wife Eve. and she became pregnant and bore Cain. And she said, "I have gained a man with the help of the Lord."
|
1. The man knew Eve his wife. She conceived, and gave birth to Cain, and said, "I have gotten a man with Yahweh's help."
|
|
2. And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.
|
2. After that, Eve bore his brother Abel. Abel became a shepherd, who took care of sheep, and Cain became a tiller of the soil.
|
2. Again she gave birth, to Cain's brother Abel. 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.
|
3. Some time later, Cain brought some food from the fruit of the ground as an offering to God.
|
3. As time passed, it happened that Cain brought an offering to Yahweh from the fruit of the ground.
|
|
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:
|
4. while Abel also brought some food, but from the best of the firstborn from his flock, he even took the best parts of the fat. Now the Lord had respect and high regard for Abel and He accepted his offering,
|
4. Abel also brought some of the firstborn of his flock and of its fat. Yahweh respected Abel and his offering,
|
|
5. But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.

5. but He paid no heed to Cain and his offering. So Cain became very angry and he felt rejected and downcast.
|
5. but he didn't respect Cain and his offering. Cain was very angry, and the expression on his face fell.
|
|
6. And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen?
|
6. And the Lord asked Cain, "Why are you so angry and why do you look so sad and depressed?
|
6. Yahweh said to Cain, "Why are you angry? Why has the expression of your face 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.
|
7. Surely, if you do what is right, you will be happier and I will accept you, but if you do not do what is right, sin is ready at the door [to attack you]. Sin wants you, but you must rule over it."
|
7. If you do well, will it not be lifted up? If you don't do well, sin crouches at the door. Its desire is for you, but you are to rule over it."
|
|
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 to Cain, "Where is your brother Abel? Cain answered, "I don't know. Is it my job to take care of my brother?"
|
9. Yahweh said to Cain, "Where is Abel, your brother?" He said, "I don't know. 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.
|
10. And He said, "What have you done? Your brother's blood is crying out to me from the ground.
|
10. Yahweh said, "What have you done? The voice of your brother's blood cries to 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;
|
11. And now you will be more cursed than the ground which opened its mouth to receive your brother's blood from your hand.
|
11. Now you are cursed because of the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother's blood from your 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.
|
12. If you till the soil, it will no longer yield its strength to you. You will be a ceaseless wanderer on the land."

|
|
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.
|
14. Today you have forced me to stop working the soil, and now I must hide from you. I must wander around on the land, and any one who meets me can kill me."
|
14. Behold, you have driven me out this day from the surface of the ground. I will be hidden from your face, and I will be a fugitive and a wanderer in the earth. It will happen that whoever finds me will kill 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.
|
15. The Lord said to Cain, "No, I promise! If anyone kills you, I will punish that person seven times more [than you]." And the Lord put a mark on Cain warning anyone who met him not to kill him.
|
15. Yahweh said to him, "Therefore whoever slays Cain, vengeance will be taken on him sevenfold." Yahweh appointed a sign for Cain, lest any finding him should strike him.
