¹A Adam poznal Evu, svoju ženu, a počala a porodila Kaina, a riekla: Nadobudla som muža s Hospodinom.

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.

²A zase porodila jeho brata Ábela. A Ábel pásol ovce, a Kain obrábal zem.

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

³A stalo sa po čase, že Kain doniesol Hospodinovi obetný dar z plodu zeme:

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

⁴A doniesol aj Ábel z prvorodených svojho stáda a z ich tuku. A Hospodin pohliadol milostive na Ábela a na jeho obetný dar.

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:

⁵Ale na Kaina ani na jeho obetný dar nepohliadol, a preto sa Kain veľmi rozpálil hnevom, tak, že opadla jeho tvár.

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

⁶A Hospodin riekol Kainovi: Prečo si sa rozpálil hnevom, a prečo opadla tvoja tvár?

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

⁷Či, keď budeš dobre robiť, nebude povznesená a veselá? A keď nebudeš dobre robiť, hriech leží pri dveriach, a jeho túžba sa nesie po tebe. Ale ty budeš panovať nad ním!

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.

⁸Na to zase hovoril Kain s Ábelom, svojím bratom. Ale stalo sa potom, keď boli na poli, že povstal Kain na Ábela, svojho brata, a zabil ho.

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.

⁹A Hospodin riekol Kainovi: Kde je Ábel, tvoj brat? A Kain povedal: Neviem. Či som ja strážcom svojho brata?

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

¹⁰A Hospodin riekol: Čo si to urobil? Hlas krvi tvojho brata volá ku mne zo zeme!

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

¹¹A ty teraz budeš zlorečený nad tú zem, ktorá otvorila svoje ústa, aby prijala krv tvojho brata z tvojej ruky.

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

¹²Keď budeš obrábať zem, nebude ti viacej vydávať svojej sily. Behúňom a tulákom budeš na zemi.

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.

¹³Vtedy povedal Kain Hospodinovi: Moja neprávosť je väčšia, než aby mi mohla byť odpustená.

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

¹⁴Hľa, zaháňaš ma dnes s tvári zeme a zpred svojej tvári, budem sa skrývať a budem tulákom a behúňom na zemi, a stane sa, že ktokoľvek ma najde, zabije ma.

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.

¹⁵A Hospodin mu riekol: Pre tú príčinu, ktokoľvek by zabil Kaina, na tom bude pomstené sedemnásobne. A Hospodin položil znamenie na Kaina, aby ho nikto nezabil, nech by ho našiel ktokoľvek.

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.

¹⁶A tak vyšiel Kain zpred tvári Hospodinovej a býval v zemi Nóda východne od Édena.

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

¹⁷A Kain poznal svoju ženu, a počala a porodila Hanocha. A staväl mesto a nazval meno mesta podľa mena svojho syna Hanochom.

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.

¹⁸A Hanochovi sa narodil Irád, a Irád splodil Mechujaela, a Mechijael splodil Metušaela, a Matušael splodil Lámecha.

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

¹⁹A Lámech si vzal dve ženy; jednej bolo meno Ada, a meno druhej bolo Cilla.

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

²⁰A Ada porodila Jabala; ten bol otcom tých, ktorí bývajú v stánoch a pasú stádo.

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

²¹A meno jeho brata bolo Júbal; ten bol otcom všetkých, ktorí hrajú na harfu a pískajú na píšťalu.

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

²²I Cilla porodila Tubalkaina, kováča, otca to všetkých, ktorí pracujú z medi a zo železa. A sestra Tubalkainova bola Naama.

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.

²³A Lámech povedal svojim ženám, Ade a Cille: Počujte môj hlas, ženy Lámechove! Ušima pozorujte moju reč! Lebo som zabil muža pre svoju ranu a mládenca pre svoju modrinu.

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:

²⁴Lebo vraj sedem ráz má byť pomstený Kain, ale pre Lámecha bude pomstené sedemdesiatsedem ráz!

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

²⁵A Adam ešte poznal svoju ženu, a porodila syna a nazvala jeho meno Set, lebo vraj Bôh mi dal náhradou iné semä namiesto Ábela, keď ho zabil Kain.

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.

²⁶I Setovi sa narodil syn, a nazval jeho meno Enoš. Vtedy začali vzývať meno Hospodinovo.

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.
