Genesis 4

KING JAMES BIBLE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD.	1 Truly, Adam knew his wife Eve, who conceived and gave birth to Cain, saying, “I have obtained a man through God.”
2 And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.	2 And again she gave birth to his brother Abel. But Abel was a pastor of sheep, and Cain was a farmer.
3 And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD.	3 Then it happened, after many days, that Cain offered gifts to the Lord, from the fruits of the earth.
4 And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering:	4 Abel likewise offered from the firstborn of his flock, and from their fat. And the Lord looked with favor on Abel and his gifts.
5 But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.	5 Yet in truth, he did not look with favor on Cain and his gifts. And Cain was vehemently angry, and his countenance fell.
6 And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen?	6 And the Lord said to him: “Why are you angry? And why is your face fallen?
7 If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.	7 If you behave well, will you not receive? But if you behave badly, will not sin at once be present at the door? And so its desire will be within you, and you will be dominated by it.”
8 And Cain talked with 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.	8 And Cain said to his brother Abel, “Let us go outside.” And when they were in the field, Cain rose up against his brother Abel, and he put him to death.
9 And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother's keeper?	9 And the Lord said to Cain, “Where is your brother Abel?” And he responded: “I do not know. Am I my brother’s keeper?”
10 And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground.	10 And he said to him: “What have you done? The voice of your brother’s blood cries out to me from the land.
11 And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand;	11 Now, therefore, you will be cursed upon the land, which opened its mouth and received the blood of your brother at your hand.
12 When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth.	12 When you work it, it will not give you its fruit; a vagrant and a fugitive shall you be upon the land.”
13 And Cain said unto the LORD, My punishment is greater than I can bear.	13 And Cain said to the Lord: “My iniquity is too great to deserve kindness.
14 Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth; and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass, that every one that findeth me shall slay me.	14 Behold, you have cast me out this day before the face of the earth, and from your face I will be hidden; and I will be a vagrant and a fugitive on the earth. Therefore, anyone who finds me will kill me.”
15 And the LORD said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the LORD set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him.	15 And the Lord said to him: “By no means will it be so; rather, whoever would kill Cain, will be punished sevenfold.” And the Lord placed a seal upon Cain, so that anyone who found him would not put him to death.
16 And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.	16 And so Cain, departing from the face of the Lord, lived as a fugitive on the earth, toward the eastern region of Eden.
17 And 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.	17 Then Cain knew his wife, and she conceived and gave birth to Enoch. And he built a city, and he called its name by the name of his son, Enoch.
18 And unto Enoch was born Irad: and Irad begat Mehujael: and Mehujael begat Methusael: and Methusael begat Lamech.	18 Thereafter, Enoch conceived Irad, and Irad conceived Mahujael, and Mahujael conceived Mathusael, and Mathusael conceived Lamech.
19 And Lamech took unto him two wives: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah.	19 Lamech took two wives: the name of one was Adah, and the name of the other was Zillah.
20 And Adah bare Jabal: he was the father of such as dwell in tents, and of such as have cattle.	20 And Adah conceived Jabel, who was the father of those who live in tents and are shepherds.
21 And his brother's name was Jubal: he was the father of all such as handle the harp and organ.	21 And the name of his brother was Jubal; he was the father of those who sing to the harp and the organ.
22 And Zillah, she also bare Tubal-cain, an instructer of every artificer in brass and iron: and the sister of Tubal-cain was Naamah.	22 Zillah also conceived Tubalcain, who was a hammerer and artisan in every work of brass and iron. In fact, the sister of Tubalcain was Noema.
23 And 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 to my wounding, and a young man to my hurt.	23 And Lamech said to his wives Adah and Zillah: “Listen to my voice, you wives of Lamech, pay attention to my speech. For I have killed a man to my own harm, and an adolescent to my own bruising.
24 If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, truly Lamech seventy and sevenfold.	24 Sevenfold vengeance will be given for Cain, but for Lamech, seventy-seven times.”
25 And Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son, and called his name Seth: For God, said she, hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew.	25 Adam also knew his wife again, and she gave birth to a son, and she called his name Seth, saying, “God has given me another offspring, in place of Abel, whom Cain killed.”
26 And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enos: then began men to call upon the name of the LORD.	26 But to Seth also was born a son, whom he called Enos. This one began to invoke the name of the Lord.
