New American Bible	Nova Vulgata
¹ The man had relations with his wife Eve, and she conceived and bore Cain, saying, "I have produced a man with the help of the LORD."	¹ Adam vero cognovit Evam uxo rem suam, quae concepit et peperit Cain dicens: “Acquisivi virum per Dominum”.
² Next she bore his brother Abel. Abel became a keeper of flocks, and Cain a tiller of the soil.	² Rursusque peperit fratrem eius Abel. Et fuit Abel pastor ovium et Cain agricola.
³ In the course of time Cain brought an offering to the LORD from the fruit of the soil,	³ Factum est autem post aliquot dies ut offerret Cain de fructibus agri munus Domino.
⁴ while Abel, for his part, brought one of the best firstlings of his flock. The LORD looked with favor on Abel and his offering,	⁴ Abel quoque obtulit de primogenitis gregis sui et de adipibus eorum. Et respexit Dominus ad Abel et ad munus eius,
⁵ but on Cain and his offering he did not. Cain greatly resented this and was crestfallen.	⁵ ad Cain vero et ad munus illius non respexit. Iratusque est Cain vehementer, et concidit vultus eius.
⁶ So the LORD said to Cain: "Why are you so resentful and crestfallen?	⁶ Dixitque Dominus ad eum: “Quare iratus es, et cur concidit facies tua?
⁷ If you do well, you can hold up your head; but if not, sin is a demon lurking at the door: his urge is toward you, yet you can be his master."	⁷ Nonne si bene egeris, vultum attolles? Sin autem male, in foribus peccatum insidiabitur, et ad te erit appetitus eius, tu autem dominaberis illius”.
⁸ Cain said to his brother Abel, "Let us go out in the field." When they were in the field, Cain attacked his brother Abel and killed him.	⁸ Dixitque Cain ad Abel fratrem suum: “Egrediamur foras”. Cumque essent in agro, consurrexit Cain adversus Abel fratrem suum et interfecit eum.
⁹ Then the LORD asked Cain, "Where is your brother Abel?" He answered, "I do not know. Am I my brother's keeper?"	⁹ Et ait Dominus ad Cain: “Ubi est Abel frater tuus?”. Qui respondit: “Nescio. Num custos fratris mei sum ego?”.
¹⁰ The LORD then said: "What have you done! Listen: your brother's blood cries out to me from the soil!	¹⁰ Dixitque ad eum: “Quid fecisti? Vox sanguinis fratris tui clamat ad me de agro.
¹¹ Therefore you shall be banned from the soil that opened its mouth to receive your brother's blood from your hand.	¹¹ Nunc igitur maledictus eris procul ab agro, qui aperuit os suum et suscepit sanguinem fratris tui de manu tua!
¹² If you till the soil, it shall no longer give you its produce. You shall become a restless wanderer on the earth."	¹² Cum operatus fueris eum, amplius non dabit tibi fructus suos; vagus et profugus eris super terram”.
¹³ Cain said to the LORD: "My punishment is too great to bear.	¹³ Dixitque Cain ad Dominum: “Maior est poena mea quam ut portem eam.
¹⁴ Since you have now banished me from the soil, and I must avoid your presence and become a restless wanderer on the earth, anyone may kill me at sight."	¹⁴ Ecce eicis me hodie a facie agri, et a facie tua abscondar et ero vagus et profugus in terra; omnis igitur, qui invenerit me, occidet me”.
¹⁵ Not so!" the LORD said to him. "If anyone kills Cain, Cain shall be avenged sevenfold." So the LORD put a mark on Cain, lest anyone should kill him at sight.	¹⁵ Dixitque ei Dominus: “Nequaquam ita fiet, sed omnis qui occiderit Cain, septuplum punietur!”. Posuitque Dominus Cain signum, ut non eum interficeret omnis qui invenisset eum.
¹⁶ Cain then left the LORD'S presence and settled in the land of Nod, east of Eden.	¹⁶ Egressusque Cain a facie Domini habitavit in terra Nod ad orientalem plagam Eden.
¹⁷ Cain had relations with his wife, and she conceived and bore Enoch. Cain also became the founder of a city, which he named after his son Enoch.	¹⁷ Cognovit autem Cain uxorem suam, quae concepit et peperit Henoch. Et aedificavit civitatem vocavitque nomen eius ex nomine filii sui Henoch.
¹⁸ To Enoch was born Irad, and Irad became the father of Mehujael; Mehujael became the father of Methusael, and Methusael became the father of Lamech.	¹⁸ Porro Henoch genuit Irad, et Irad genuit Maviael, et Maviael genuit Mathusael, et Mathusael genuit Lamech.
¹⁹ Lamech took two wives; the name of the first was Adah, and the name of the second Zillah.	¹⁹ Qui accepit uxores duas: nomen uni Ada et nomen alteri Sella.
²⁰ Adah gave birth to Jabal, the ancestor of all who dwell in tents and keep cattle.	²⁰ Genuitque Ada Iabel, qui fuit pater habitantium in tentoriis atque pastorum.
²¹ His brother's name was Jubal; he was the ancestor of all who play the lyre and the pipe.	²¹ Et nomen fratris eius Iubal; ipse fuit pater omnium canentium cithara et organo.
²² Zillah, on her part, gave birth to Tubalcain, the ancestor of all who forge instruments of bronze and iron. The sister of Tubalcain was Naamah.	²² Sella quoque genuit Tubalcain, qui fuit malleator et faber in cuncta opera aeris et ferri. Soror vero Tubalcain Noema.
²³ Lamech said to his wives: "Adah and Zillah, hear my voice; wives of Lamech, listen to my utterance: I have killed a man for wounding me, a boy for bruising me.	²³ Dixitque Lamech uxoribus suis: “Ada et Sella, audite vocem meam; uxores Lamech, auscultate sermonem meum: occidi virum pro vulnere meo et adulescentulum pro livore meo;
²⁴ If Cain is avenged sevenfold, then Lamech seventy-sevenfold."	²⁴ septuplum ultio dabitur de Cain, de Lamech vero septuagies septies”.
²⁵ Adam again had relations with his wife, and she gave birth to a son whom she called Seth. "God has granted me more offspring in place of Abel," she said, "because Cain slew him."	²⁵ Cognovit quoque Adam uxorem suam, et peperit filium vocavitque nomen eius Seth dicens: “Posuit mihi Deus semen aliud pro Abel, quem occidit Cain”.
²⁶ To Seth, in turn, a son was born, and he named him Enosh. At that time men began to invoke the LORD by name.	²⁶ Sed et Seth natus est filius, quem vocavit Enos. Tunc coeperunt invocare nomen Domini.
