¹Ja Aadam sai ühte oma naise Eevaga, kes jäi lapseootele ja tõi Kaini ilmale ning ütles: 'Ma olen Issanda abiga mehe ilmale toonud.'

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

²Ja tema sünnitas taas: ta venna Aabeli. Ja Aabel oli lambakarjane, Kain aga oli põllumees.

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

³Ja mõne aja pärast juhtus, et Kain tõi Issandale roaohvri maaviljast,

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

⁴ja ka Aabel tõi oma lammaste esimesest soost ning nende rasvast, ja Issand vaatas Aabeli ja tema roaohvri peale,

⁴And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock, and of their fat. And Jehovah looked upon Abel, and on his offering;

⁵aga Kaini ja tema roaohvri peale ta ei vaadanud. Siis Kain vihastus väga ja lõi pilgu maha.

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

⁶Ja Issand küsis Kainilt: 'Mispärast sa vihastud? Ja mispärast sa pilgu maha lööd?

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

⁷Eks ole: kui sa head teed, siis on su pilk tõstetud üles? Aga kui sa head ei tee, siis luurab patt ukse ees ja himustab sind. Kuid sina pead tema üle valitsema!'

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.

⁸Ja Kain ütles oma vennale Aabelile: 'Lähme väljale!' Ja kui nad väljal olid, tungis Kain oma venna Aabeli kallale ja tappis tema.

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.

⁹Aga Issand küsis Kainilt: 'Kus on su vend Aabel?' Ja tema vastas: 'Ei mina tea. Kas ma olen oma venna hoidja?'

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

¹⁰Ja tema ütles: 'Mis sa oled teinud? Sinu venna vere hääl kisendab maa pealt minu poole!

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

¹¹Aga nüüd ole sa neetud siit maa pealt, mis oma suu on avanud, su venna verd sinu käest vastu võttes!

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

¹²Kui sa harid maad, siis see ei anna sulle enam oma rammu. Sa pead maa peal olema hulkur ja põgenik!'

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

¹³Ja Kain ütles Issandale: 'Mu karistus on suurem, kui ma suudan kanda!

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

¹⁴Vaata, sa oled mind täna ära ajanud siit maalt ja ma pean varjule minema su palge eest ning maa peal olema hulkur ja põgenik. Ja igaüks, kes mind leiab, tapab mu.'

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.

¹⁵Ja Issand ütles temale: 'Ei, sugugi mitte, vaid igaühele, kes Kaini tapab, peab seitsmekordselt kätte makstama!' Ja Issand pani Kainile märgi, et leidja teda maha ei lööks.

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.

¹⁶Ja Kain läks ära Issanda palge eest ning elas Noodimaal, hommiku pool Eedenit.

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

¹⁷Ja Kain sai ühte oma naisega, kes jäi lapseootele ja tõi ilmale Hanoki; ja ta ehitas ühe linna ning nimetas selle linna oma poja Hanoki nime järgi.

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.

¹⁸Ja Hanokile sündis Iirad, Iiradile sündis Mehuujael, Mehuujaelile sündis Metuusael, Metuusaelile sündis Lemek.

¹⁸And to Enoch was born Irad; and Irad begot Mehujael; and Mehujael begot Methushael; and Methushael begot Lemech.

¹⁹Ja Lemek võttis enesele kaks naist: ühe nimi oli Aada ja teise nimi oli Silla.

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

²⁰Ja Aada tõi ilmale Jaabali, kes sai nende isaks, kes elasid telkides ja kasvatasid karja.

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

²¹Ja tema venna nimi oli Juubal, kes sai kõigi kandlelööjate ja vilepuhujate isaks.

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

²²Ja Silla tõi ilmale Tuubal-Kaini, kes õpetas sepist taguma kõiki, kes tegid vask- ja raudsepa tööd; ja Tuubal-Kaini õde oli Naama.

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.

²³Ja Lemek ütles oma naistele: 'Aada ja Silla, kuulge mu häält, te Lemeki naised, pange tähele mu kõnet! Jah, haava pärast ma tapan mehe ja verme pärast nooruki!

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.

²⁴Kui Kaini pärast makstakse kätte seitse korda, siis Lemeki pärast seitsekümmend seitse korda!'

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

²⁵Ja Aadam sai taas ühte oma naisega, kes tõi ilmale poja ja pani temale nimeks Sett, öeldes: 'Jumal andis mulle teise järeltulija Aabeli asemele, kuna Kain ta tappis.'

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.

²⁶Ja Setile sündis ka poeg, ja ta pani temale nimeks Enos. Sel ajal hakati Issanda nime appi hüüdma.

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.
