1Αδαμ δὲ ἔγνω Ευαν τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ, καὶ συλλαβοῦσα ἔτεκεν τὸν Καιν καὶ εἶπεν Ἑκτησάμην ἄνθρωπον διὰ τοῦ θεοῦ. And Adam knew Eve his wife, and she conceived and brought forth Cain and said, I have gained a man through God.Cain and Abel. Gn.4.1-16Now Adam knew Eve his wife, and she conceived and bore Cain, saying, "I have gotten a man with the help of the LORD."וְהָאָדָם יָדַע אֶת־חַוָּה אִשְׁתֹּו וַתַּהַר וַתֵּלֶד אֶת־קַיִן וַתֹּאמֶר קָנִיתִי אִישׁ אֶת־יְהוָה׃ 1
2καὶ προσέθηκεν τεκεῖν τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ τὸν Αβελ. καὶ ἐγένετο Αβελ ποιμὴν προβάτων, Καιν δὲ ἦν ἐργαζόμενος τὴν γῆν. And she again bore his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground. And again, she bore his brother Abel. Now Abel was a keeper of sheep, and Cain a tiller of the ground.וַתֹּסֶף לָלֶדֶת אֶת־אָחִיו אֶת־הָבֶל וַיְהִי־הֶבֶל רֹעֵה צֹאן וְקַיִן הָיָה עֹבֵד אֲדָמָה׃ 2
3καὶ ἐγένετο μεθ' ἡμέρας ἤνεγκεν Καιν ἀπὸ τῶν καρπῶν τῆς γῆς θυσίαν τῷ κυρίῳ, And it was so after some time that Cain brought of the fruits of the earth a sacrifice to the Lord. In the course of time Cain brought to the LORD an offering of the fruit of the ground,וַיְהִי מִקֵּץ יָמִים וַיָּבֵא קַיִן מִפְּרִי הָאֲדָמָה מִנְחָה לַיהוָה׃ 3
4καὶ 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, And Abel also brought of the first born of his sheep and of his fatlings, and God looked upon Abel and his gifts, and Abel brought of the firstlings of his flock and of their fat portions. And the LORD had regard for Abel and his offering,וְהֶבֶל הֵבִיא גַם־הוּא מִבְּכֹרֹות צֹאנֹו וּמֵחֶלְבֵהֶן וַיִּשַׁע יְהוָה אֶל־הֶבֶל וְאֶל־מִנְחָתֹו׃ 4
5ἐπὶ δὲ Καιν καὶ ἐπὶ ταῖς θυσίαις αὐτοῦ οὐ προσέσχεν. καὶ ἐλύπησεν τὸν Καιν λίαν, καὶ συνέπεσεν τῷ προσώπῳ. but Cain and his sacrifices he regarded not, and Cain was exceedingly sorrowful and his countenance fell. but for Cain and his offering he had no regard. So Cain was very angry, and his countenance fell.וְאֶל־קַיִן וְאֶל־מִנְחָתֹו לֹא שָׁעָה וַיִּחַר לְקַיִן מְאֹד וַיִּפְּלוּ פָּנָיו׃ 5
6καὶ εἶπεν κύριος ὁ θεὸς τῷ Καιν Ἵνα τί περίλυπος ἐγένου, καὶ ἵνα τί συνέπεσεν τὸ πρόσωπόν σου; And the Lord God said to Cain, Why have you become very sorrowful and why is your countenance fallen? The LORD said to Cain, "Why are you angry, and why has your countenance fallen?וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוָה אֶל־קָיִן לָמָּה חָרָה לָךְ וְלָמָּה נָפְלוּ פָנֶיךָ׃ 6
7οὐκ, ἐὰν ὀρθῶς προσενέγκῃς, ὀρθῶς δὲ μὴ διέλῃς, ἥμαρτες; ἡσύχασον· πρὸς σὲ ἡ ἀποστροφὴ αὐτοῦ, καὶ σὺ ἄρξεις αὐτοῦ. Have you not sinned if you have brought it rightly, but not rightly divided it? be still, to you shall be his submission, and you shall rule over him. If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin is couching at the door; its desire is for you, but you must master it."הֲלֹוא אִם־תֵּיטִיב שְׂאֵת וְאִם לֹא תֵיטִיב לַפֶּתַח חַטָּאת רֹבֵץ וְאֵלֶיךָ תְּשׁוּקָתֹו וְאַתָּה תִּמְשָׁל־בֹּו׃ 7
8καὶ 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. And Cain said to Abl his brother, Let us go out into the plain; and it came to pass that when they were in the plain Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him. Cain said to Abel his brother, "Let us go out to the field." And when they were in the field, Cain rose up against his brother Abel, and killed him.וַיֹּאמֶר קַיִן אֶל־הֶבֶל אָחִיו וַיְהִי בִּהְיֹותָם בַּשָּׂדֶה וַיָּקָם קַיִן אֶל־הֶבֶל אָחִיו וַיַּהַרְגֵהוּ׃ 8
9καὶ εἶπεν ὁ θεὸς πρὸς Καιν Ποῦ ἐστιν Αβελ ὁ ἀδελφός σου; ὁ δὲ εἶπεν Οὐ γινώσκω· μὴ φύλαξ τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ μού εἰμι ἐγώ; And the Lord God said to Cain, Where is Abel your brother? and he said, I know not, am I my brother's keeper? Then the LORD said to Cain, "Where is Abel your brother?" He said, "I do not know; am I my brother's keeper?"וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוָה אֶל־קַיִן אֵי הֶבֶל אָחִיךָ וַיֹּאמֶר לֹא יָדַעְתִּי הֲשֹׁמֵר אָחִי אָנֹכִי׃ 9
10καὶ εἶπεν ὁ θεός Τί ἐποίησας; φωνὴ αἵματος τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ σου βοᾷ πρός με ἐκ τῆς γῆς. And the Lord said, What have you done? the voice of your brother's blood cries to me out of the ground. And the LORD said, "What have you done? The voice of your brother's blood is crying to me from the ground.וַיֹּאמֶר מֶה עָשִׂיתָ קֹול דְּמֵי אָחִיךָ צֹעֲקִים אֵלַי מִן־הָאֲדָמָה׃ 10
11καὶ νῦν ἐπικατάρατος σὺ ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς, ἣ ἔχανεν τὸ στόμα αὐτῆς δέξασθαι τὸ αἷμα τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ σου ἐκ τῆς χειρός σου· And now you [art] cursed from the earth which has opened her mouth to receive your brother's blood from your hand. And now you are cursed from the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother's blood from your hand.וְעַתָּה אָרוּר אָתָּה מִן־הָאֲדָמָה אֲשֶׁר פָּצְתָה אֶת־פִּיהָ לָקַחַת אֶת־דְּמֵי אָחִיךָ מִיָּדֶךָ׃ 11
12ὅτι ἐργᾷ τὴν γῆν, καὶ οὐ προσθήσει τὴν ἰσχὺν αὐτῆς δοῦναί σοι· στένων καὶ τρέμων ἔσῃ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς. When you till the earth, then it shall not continue to give its strength to you: you shall be groaning and trembling on the earth. When you till the ground, it shall no longer yield to you its strength; you shall be a fugitive and a wanderer on the earth."כִּי תַעֲבֹד אֶת־הָאֲדָמָה לֹא־תֹסֵף תֵּת־כֹּחָהּ לָךְ נָע וָנָד תִּהְיֶה בָאָרֶץ׃ 12
13καὶ εἶπεν Καιν πρὸς τὸν κύριον Μείζων ἡ αἰτία μου τοῦ ἀφεθῆναί με· And Cain said to the Lord God, My crime [is] too great for me to be forgiven. Cain said to the LORD, "My punishment is greater than I can bear.וַיֹּאמֶר קַיִן אֶל־יְהוָה גָּדֹול עֲוֹנִי מִנְּשֹׂא׃ 13
14εἰ 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. If you cast me out today from the face of the earth, and I shall be hidden from your presence, and I shall be groaning and trembling upon the earth, then it will be that any one that finds me shall slay me. Behold, thou hast driven me this day away from the ground; and from thy face I shall be hidden; and I shall be a fugitive and a wanderer on the earth, and whoever finds me will slay me."הֵן גֵּרַשְׁתָּ אֹתִי הַיֹּום מֵעַל פְּנֵי הָאֲדָמָה וּמִפָּנֶיךָ אֶסָּתֵר וְהָיִיתִי נָע וָנָד בָּאָרֶץ וְהָיָה כָל־מֹצְאִי יַהַרְגֵנִי׃ 14
15καὶ 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. And the Lord God said to him, Not so, any one that slays Cain shall suffer seven-fold vengeance; and the Lord God set a mark upon Cain that no one that found him might slay him. Then the LORD said to him, "Not so! If anyone slays Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold." And the LORD put a mark on Cain, lest any who came upon him should kill him.וַיֹּאמֶר לֹו יְהוָה לָכֵן כָּל־הֹרֵג קַיִן שִׁבְעָתַיִם יֻקָּם וַיָּשֶׂם יְהוָה לְקַיִן אֹות לְבִלְתִּי הַכֹּות־אֹתֹו כָּל־מֹצְאֹו׃ 15
16ἐξῆλθεν δὲ Καιν ἀπὸ προσώπου τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ ᾤκησεν ἐν γῇ Ναιδ κατέναντι Εδεμ. So Cain went forth from the presence of God and dwelt in the land of Nod over against Edem. Then Cain went away from the presence of the LORD, and dwelt in the land of Nod, east of Eden.וַיֵּצֵא קַיִן מִלִּפְנֵי יְהוָה וַיֵּשֶׁב בְּאֶרֶץ־נֹוד קִדְמַת־עֵדֶן׃ 16
17Καὶ 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. And Cain knew his wife, and having conceived she bore Enoch; and he built a city; and he named the city after the name of his son, Enoch.Generations - Cain. Gn.4.17-24Cain knew his wife, and she conceived and bore Enoch; and he built a city, and called the name of the city after the name of his son, Enoch.וַיֵּדַע קַיִן אֶת־אִשְׁתֹּו וַתַּהַר וַתֵּלֶד אֶת־חֲנֹוךְ וַיְהִי בֹּנֶה עִיר וַיִּקְרָא שֵׁם הָעִיר כְּשֵׁם בְּנֹו חֲנֹוךְ׃ 17
18ἐγενήθη δὲ τῷ Ενωχ Γαιδαδ, καὶ Γαιδαδ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Μαιηλ, καὶ Μαιηλ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Μαθουσαλα, καὶ Μαθουσαλα ἐγέννησεν τὸν Λαμεχ. And to Enoch was born Gaidad; and Gaidad begot Maleleel; and Maleleel begot Mathusala; and Mathusala begot Lamech. To Enoch was born Irad; and Irad was the father of Me-hu'ja-el, and Me-hu'ja-el the father of Me-thu'sha-el, and Me-thu'sha-el the father of Lamech.וַיִּוָּלֵד לַחֲנֹוךְ אֶת־עִירָד וְעִירָד יָלַד אֶת־מְחוּיָאֵל וּמְחִיּיָאֵל יָלַד אֶת־מְתוּשָׁאֵל וּמְתוּשָׁאֵל יָלַד אֶת־לָמֶךְ׃ 18
19καὶ ἔλαβεν ἑαυτῷ Λαμεχ δύο γυναῖκας, ὄνομα τῇ μιᾷ Αδα, καὶ ὄνομα τῇ δευτέρᾳ Σελλα. And Lamech took to himself two wives; the name of the one was Ada, and the name of the second Sella. And Lamech took two wives; the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah.וַיִּקַּח־לֹו לֶמֶךְ שְׁתֵּי נָשִׁים שֵׁם הָאַחַת עָדָה וְשֵׁם הַשֵּׁנִית צִלָּה׃ 19
20καὶ ἔτεκεν Αδα τὸν Ιωβελ· οὗτος ἦν ὁ πατὴρ οἰκούντων ἐν σκηναῖς κτηνοτρόφων. And Ada bore Jobel; he was the father of those that dwell in tents, feeding cattle. Adah bore Jabal; he was the father of those who dwell in tents and have cattle.וַתֵּלֶד עָדָה אֶת־יָבָל הוּא הָיָה אֲבִי יֹשֵׁב אֹהֶל וּמִקְנֶה׃ 20
21καὶ ὄνομα τῷ ἀδελφῷ αὐτοῦ Ιουβαλ· οὗτος ἦν ὁ καταδείξας ψαλτήριον καὶ κιθάραν. And the name of his brother was Jubal; he it was who invented the psaltery and harp. His brother's name was Jubal; he was the father of all those who play the lyre and pipe.וְשֵׁם אָחִיו יוּבָל הוּא הָיָה אֲבִי כָּל־תֹּפֵשׂ כִּנֹּור וְעוּגָב׃ 21
22Σελλα δὲ ἔτεκεν καὶ αὐτὴ τὸν Θοβελ, καὶ ἦν σφυροκόπος χαλκεὺς χαλκοῦ καὶ σιδήρου· ἀδελφὴ δὲ Θοβελ Νοεμα. And Sella also bore Thobel; he was a smith, a manufacturer both of brass and iron; and the sister of Thobel was Noema. Zillah bore Tubal-cain; he was the forger of all instruments of bronze and iron. The sister of Tubal-cain was Na'amah.וְצִלָּה גַם־הִוא יָלְדָה אֶת־תּוּבַל קַיִן לֹטֵשׁ כָּל־חֹרֵשׁ נְחֹשֶׁת וּבַרְזֶל וַאֲחֹות תּוּבַל־קַיִן נַעֲמָה׃ 22
23εἶπεν 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,
And Lamech said to his wives, Ada and Sella, Hear my voice, you wives of Lamech, consider my words, because I have slain a man to my sorrow and a youth to my grief. Lamech said to his wives:
"Adah and Zillah, hear my voice;
you wives of Lamech, hearken to what I say:
I have slain a man for wounding me,
a young man for striking me.
וַיֹּאמֶר לֶמֶךְ לְנָשָׁיו עָדָה וְצִלָּה
    שְׁמַעַן קֹולִי נְשֵׁי לֶמֶךְ הַאְזֵנָּה אִמְרָתִי
    כִּי אִישׁ הָרַגְתִּי לְפִצְעִי וְיֶלֶד לְחַבֻּרָתִי׃
23
24ὅτι ἑπτάκις ἐκδεδίκηται ἐκ Καιν,
ἐκ δὲ Λαμεχ ἑβδομηκοντάκις ἑπτά.
Because vengeance has been exacted seven times on Cain's behalf, on Lamech's [it shall be] seventy times seven. If Cain is avenged sevenfold,
truly Lamech seventy-sevenfold."
כִּי שִׁבְעָתַיִם יֻקַּם־קָיִן וְלֶמֶךְ שִׁבְעִים וְשִׁבְעָה׃ 24
25Ἔγνω δὲ Αδαμ Ευαν τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ, καὶ συλλαβοῦσα ἔτεκεν υἱὸν καὶ ἐπωνόμασεν τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Σηθ λέγουσα Ἑξανέστησεν γάρ μοι ὁ θεὸς σπέρμα ἕτερον ἀντὶ Αβελ, ὃν ἀπέκτεινεν Καιν. And Adam knew Eve his wife, and she conceived and bore a son, and called his name Seth, saying, For God has raised up to me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew.Seth and Enosh. Gn.4.25-26And Adam knew his wife again, and she bore a son and called his name Seth, for she said, "God has appointed for me another child instead of Abel, for Cain slew him."וַיֵּדַע אָדָם עֹוד אֶת־אִשְׁתֹּו וַתֵּלֶד בֵּן וַתִּקְרָא אֶת־שְׁמֹו שֵׁת כִּי שָׁת־לִי אֱלֹהִים זֶרַע אַחֵר תַּחַת הֶבֶל כִּי הֲרָגֹו קָיִן׃ 25
26καὶ τῷ Σηθ ἐγένετο υἱός, ἐπωνόμασεν δὲ τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Ενως· οὗτος ἤλπισεν ἐπικαλεῖσθαι τὸ ὄνομα κυρίου τοῦ θεοῦ. And Seth had a son, and he called his name Enos: he hoped to call on the name of the Lord God. To Seth also a son was born, and he called his name Enosh. At that time men began to call upon the name of the Lord.וּלְשֵׁת גַּם־הוּא יֻלַּד־בֵּן וַיִּקְרָא אֶת־שְׁמֹו אֱנֹושׁ אָז הוּחַל לִקְרֹא בְּשֵׁם יְהוָה׃ ף 26
