Genesis 4

veha'adam yada et-khavvah ishto vattahar vatteled et-qayin vattomer qaniti ish et-Adonai

Now the Human knew his wife Eve, and she conceived and bore Cain, saying, “I have gained someone new with GOD’s help.”

vattosef laledet et-akhiv et-havel vayehi-hevel ro'eh tson veqayin hayah oved adamah

She then bore his brother Abel. Abel became a keeper of sheep, and Cain became a tiller of the soil.

vayehi miqqets yamim vayyave qayin mipperi ha'adamah minkhah la-Adonai

In the course of time, Cain brought an offering to GOD from the fruit of the soil;

vehevel hevi gam-hu mibbekhorot tsono umekhelvehen vayyisha Adonai el-hevel ve'el-minkhato

and Abel, for his part, brought the choicest of the firstlings of his flock. GOD paid heed to Abel and his offering,

ve'el-qayin ve'el-minkhato lo sha'ah vayyikhar leqayin me'od vayyippelu panayw

but paid no heed to Cain and his offering. Cain was much distressed and his face fell.

vayyomer Adonai el-qayin lammah kharah lakh velammah nafelu fanekha

And GOD said to Cain, “Why are you distressed, And why is your face fallen?

halo im-tetiv se'et ve'im lo tetiv lappetakh khattat rovets ve'elekha teshuqato ve'attah timshol-bo

Surely, if you do right, There is uplift. But if you do not do right Sin couches at the door; Its urge is toward you, Yet you can be its master.”

vayyomer qayin el-hevel akhiv vayehi bihyotam bassadeh vayyaqom qayin el-hevel akhiv vayyahargehu

Cain said to his brother Abel … and when they were in the field, Cain set upon his brother Abel and killed him.

vayyomer Adonai el-qayin e hevel akhikha vayyomer lo yadati hashomer akhi anokhi

GOD said to Cain, “Where is your brother Abel?” And he said, “I do not know. Am I my brother’s keeper?”

vayyomer meh asita qol deme akhikha tso'aqim elay min-ha'adamah

“What have you done? Hark, your brother’s blood cries out to Me from the ground!

ve'attah arur attah min-ha'adamah asher patsetah et-piha laqakhat et-deme akhikha miyyadekha

Therefore, you shall be more cursed than the ground, which opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand.

ki ta'avod et-ha'adamah lo-tosef tet-kokhah lakh na vanad tihyeh va'arets

If you till the soil, it shall no longer yield its strength to you. You shall become a ceaseless wanderer on earth.”

vayyomer qayin el-Adonai gadol avoni minneso

Cain said to GOD, “My punishment is too great to bear!

hen gerashta oti hayyom me'al pene ha'adamah umippanekha essater vehayiti na vanad ba'arets vehayah khol-motse'i yahargeni

Since You have banished me this day from the soil, and I must avoid Your presence and become a restless wanderer on earth—anyone who meets me may kill me!”

vayyomer lo Adonai lakhen kol-horeg qayin shivatayim yuqqam vayyasem Adonai leqayin ot levilti hakkot-oto kol-motse'o

GOD said to him, “I promise, if anyone kills Cain, sevenfold vengeance shall be exacted.” And GOD put a mark on Cain, lest anyone who met him should kill him.

vayyetse qayin millifne Adonai vayyeshev be'erets-nod qidmat-eden

Cain left GOD’s presence and settled in the land of Nod, east of Eden.

vayyeda qayin et-ishto vattahar vatteled et-khanokh vayehi boneh ir vayyiqra shem ha'ir keshem beno khanokh

Cain knew his wife, and she conceived and bore Enoch. And he then founded a city, and named the city after his son Enoch.

vayyivvaled lakhanokh et-irad ve'irad yalad et-mekhuya'el umekhiyyayel yalad et-metusha'el umetusha'el yalad et-lamekh

To Enoch was born Irad, and Irad begot Mehujael, and Mehujael begot Methusael, and Methusael begot Lamech.

vayyiqqakh-lo lemekh shete nashim shem ha'akhat adah veshem hashenit tsillah

Lamech took to himself two wives: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other was Zillah.

vatteled adah et-yaval hu hayah avi yoshev ohel umiqneh

Adah bore Jabal; he was the ancestor of those who dwell in tents and amidst herds.

veshem akhiv yuval hu hayah avi kol-tofes kinnor ve'ugav

And the name of his brother was Jubal; he was the ancestor of all who play the lyre and the pipe.

vetsillah gam-hiv yaledah et-tuval qayin lotesh kol-khoresh nekhoshet uvarzel va'akhot tuval-qayin na'amah

As for Zillah, she bore Tubal-cain, who forged all implements of copper and iron. And the sister of Tubal-cain was Naamah.

vayyomer lemekh lenashayw adah vetsillah shema'an qoli neshe lemekh hazennah imrati ki ish haragti lefitsi veyeled lekhabburati

And Lamech said to his wives, “Adah and Zillah, hear my voice; O wives of Lamech, give ear to my speech. I have slain a rival for wounding me, And a lad for bruising me.

ki shivatayim yuqqam-qayin velemekh shivim veshivah

If Cain is avenged sevenfold, Then Lamech seventy-sevenfold.”

vayyeda adam od et-ishto vatteled ben vattiqra et-shemo shet ki shat-li elohim zera akher takhat hevel ki harago qayin

Adam knew his wife again, and she bore a son and named him Seth, meaning, “God has provided me with another offspring in place of Abel,” for Cain had killed him.

uleshet gam-hu yullad-ben vayyiqra et-shemo enosh az hukhal liqro beshem Adonai

And to Seth, in turn, a son was born, and he named him Enosh. It was then that GOD began to be invoked by name.
