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

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

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

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

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

⁶ فقال الرب لقايين لماذا اغتظت ولماذا سقط وجهك.

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

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

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

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

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

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

¹³ فقال قايين للرب ذنبي اعظم من ان يحتمل.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

²⁴ انه ينتقم لقايين سبعة اضعاف. واما للامك فسبعة وسبعين

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

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