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

¹And Man knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bore Cain, and said, I have acquired a man with Jehovah.

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

²And she further bore his brother Abel. And Abel was a shepherd, but Cain was a husbandman.

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 to 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 their fat. And Jehovah looked upon Abel, and on his offering;

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

⁵and upon Cain, and on his offering, he did not look. And Cain was very angry, and his countenance fell.

⁶فقال الرب لقايين لماذا اغتظت ولماذا سقط وجهك.

⁶And Jehovah said to Cain, Why art thou angry, 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, will not [thy countenance] look up [with confidence]? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door; and unto thee [shall be] his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.

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

⁸And Cain spoke to 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 to 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 is crying to me from the ground.

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

¹¹And now be thou cursed 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 thee its strength; a wanderer and fugitive shalt thou be on the earth.

¹³فقال قايين للرب ذنبي اعظم من ان يحتمل.

¹³And Cain said to Jehovah, My punishment is too great to be borne.

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 this day from the face of the ground, and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a wanderer and fugitive on the earth; and it will come to pass, [that] every one who finds 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 to him, Therefore, whoever slayeth Cain, it shall be revenged sevenfold. And Jehovah set a mark on 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, toward 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 bore Enoch. And he built a city; and he 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 to Enoch was born Irad; and Irad begot Mehujael; and Mehujael begot Methushael; and Methushael begot Lemech.

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

¹⁹And Lemech took two wives: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the second, Zillah.

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

²⁰And Adah bore Jabal: he was the father of those who dwell in tents, and [breed] cattle.

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

²¹And his brother's name was Jubal: he was the father of those who handle the harp and pipe.

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

²²And Zillah, she also bore Tubal-Cain, the forger of every kind of tool 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 Lemech said to his wives: Adah and Zillah, hear my voice, Ye wives of Lemech, listen to my speech. For I have slain a man for my wound, and a youth for my bruise.

²⁴انه ينتقم لقايين سبعة اضعاف. واما للامك فسبعة وسبعين

²⁴If Cain shall be avenged seven-fold; Lemech seventy and seven fold.

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 bore a son, and called his name Seth: ... For God has appointed me another seed instead of Abel, because Cain has slain him.

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

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