¹وعرف آدم حواء امرأته فحبلت وولدت قايين. وقالت اقتنيت رجلا من عند الرب.

¹And the man knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man with [the help of] Jehovah.

²ثم عادت فولدت اخاه هابيل. وكان هابيل راعيا للغنم وكان قايين عاملا في الارض.

²And again she bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.

³وحدث من بعد ايام ان قايين قدم من اثمار الارض قربانا للرب.

³And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto Jehovah.

⁴وقدم هابيل ايضا من ابكار غنمه ومن سمانها. فنظر الرب الى هابيل وقربانه.

⁴And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And Jehovah had respect unto Abel and to his offering:

⁵ولكن الى قايين وقربانه لم ينظر. فاغتاظ قايين جدا وسقط وجهه.

⁵but unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.

⁶فقال الرب لقايين لماذا اغتظت ولماذا سقط وجهك.

⁶And Jehovah said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen?

⁷ان احسنت أفلا رفع. وان لم تحسن فعند الباب خطية رابضة واليك اشتياقها وانت تسود عليها

⁷If thou doest well, shall it not be lifted up? and if thou doest not well, sin coucheth at the door: and unto thee shall be its desire, but do thou rule over it.

⁸وكلم قايين هابيل اخاه. وحدث اذ كانا في الحقل ان قايين قام على هابيل اخيه وقتله.

⁸And 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 slew him.

⁹فقال الرب لقايين اين هابيل اخوك. فقال لا اعلم. أحارس انا لاخي.

⁹And Jehovah said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: am I my brother's keeper?

¹⁰فقال ماذا فعلت. صوت دم اخيك صارخ اليّ من الارض.

¹⁰And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground.

¹¹فالآن ملعون انت من الارض التي فتحت فاها لتقبل دم اخيك من يدك.

¹¹And now cursed art thou from the ground, which hath opened its mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand;

¹²متى عملت الارض لا تعود تعطيك قوتها. تائها وهاربا تكون في الارض.

¹²when thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee its strength; a fugitive and a wanderer shalt thou be in the earth.

¹³فقال قايين للرب ذنبي اعظم من ان يحتمل.

¹³And Cain said unto Jehovah, My punishment is greater than I can bear.

¹⁴انك قد طردتني اليوم عن وجه الارض ومن وجهك اختفي واكون تائها وهاربا في الارض. فيكون كل من وجدني يقتلني.

¹⁴Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the ground; and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a wanderer in the earth; and it will come to pass, that whosoever findeth me will slay me.

¹⁵فقال له الرب لذلك كل من قتل قايين فسبعة اضعاف ينتقم منه. وجعل الرب لقايين علامة لكي لا يقتله كل من وجده.

¹⁵And Jehovah said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And Jehovah appointed a sign for Cain, lest any finding him should smite him.

¹⁶فخرج قايين من لدن الرب وسكن في ارض نود شرقي عدن

¹⁶And Cain went out from the presence of Jehovah, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.

¹⁷وعرف قايين امرأته فحبلت وولدت حنوك. وكان يبني مدينة. فدعا اسم المدينة كاسم ابنه حنوك.

¹⁷And 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.

¹⁸وولد لحنوك عيراد. وعيراد ولد محويائيل. ومحويائيل ولد متوشائيل. ومتوشائيل ولد لامك.

¹⁸And unto Enoch was born Irad: and Irad begat Mehujael: and Mehujael begat Methushael; and Methushael begat Lamech.

¹⁹واتخذ لامك لنفسه امرأتين. اسم الواحدة عادة واسم الاخرى صلّة.

¹⁹And Lamech took unto him two wives: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah.

²⁰فولدت عادة يابال. الذي كان ابا لساكني الخيام ورعاة المواشي.

²⁰And Adah bare Jabal: he was the father of such as dwell in tents and [have] cattle.

²¹واسم اخيه يوبال. الذي كان ابا لكل ضارب بالعود والمزمار.

²¹And his brother's name was Jubal: he was the father of all such as handle the harp and pipe.

²²وصلّة ايضا ولدت توبال قايين الضارب كل آلة من نحاس وحديد. واخت توبال قايين نعمة.

²²And Zillah, she also bare Tubal-cain, the forger of every cutting instrument of brass and iron: and the sister of Tubal-cain was Naamah.

²³وقال لامك لامرأتيه عادة وصلّة. اسمعا قولي يا مرأتي لامك. واصغيا لكلامي. فاني قتلت رجلا لجرحي. وفتى لشدخي.

²³And 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 for wounding me, And a young man for bruising me:

²⁴انه ينتقم لقايين سبعة اضعاف. واما للامك فسبعة وسبعين

²⁴If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, Truly Lamech seventy and sevenfold.

²⁵وعرف آدم امرأته ايضا. فولدت ابنا ودعت اسمه شيثا. قائلة لان الله قد وضع لي نسلا آخر عوضا عن هابيل. لان قايين كان قد قتله.

²⁵And Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son, and called his name Seth. For, [said she], God hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel; for Cain slew him.

²⁶ولشيث ايضا ولد ابن فدعا اسمه أنوش. حينئذ ابتدئ ان يدعى باسم الرب

²⁶And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enosh. Then began men to call upon the name of Jehovah.
