01O 4 1 But Adam learned to know Eve, his woman, and she, conceiving, gave birth to Cain. And she said "I acquired a person by means of God" [ but in Hebr. MT. she says instead : "I have acquired a man, the lord" ]

01O 4 2 And she added giving birth to his brother, Abel. And it happened (that) Abel (was) a herdsman of flocks, but Cain was working the earth. [ qv. 1Jn.3:12 : "... his works were evil - but those of his brother just." ]

01O 4 5 (but) upon Cain and upon his 'sacrifices' he did not pay attention. And it grieved Cain exceedingly - and he fell to the face

01O 4 6 kai eipen kurioV o qeoV tw kain ina ti perilupoV egenou kai ina ti sunepesen to proswpon sou

01O 4 6 And the lord god said to Cain " Why did you become sorrowful ? And why did your face fall ?

01O 4 7 ouk ean orqwV prosenegkhV orqwV de mh dielhV hmarteV hsucason proV se h apostrofh autou kai su arxeiV autou

01O 4 7 Did you not make a mistake [alt : did you not miss the mark, did you not sin] - if you were bringing ( your sacrifices ) rightly but not dividing rightly [alt : not distinguishing, not punctuating rightly] ? Wait quietly (until) towards you (is) his aversion ( ie. until he turns his back on you ?) - and (then) you shall take first place over him".

01O 4 10 And God said "What did you do ? A voice of the blood of your brother shouts to me from the earth.

01O 4 11 kai nun epikataratoV su apo thV ghV h ecanen to stoma authV dexasqai to aima tou adelfou sou ek thV ceiroV sou

01O 4 11 And now you are cursed from the earth, which 'opened its mouth' to receive the blood of your brother from your hand

01O 4 12 oti erga thn ghn kai ou prosqhsei thn iscun authV dounai soi stenwn kai tremwn esh epi thV ghV

01O 4 12 For you (shall) work the earth and it shall not add its strength to yield for you. Contracting [alt : sighing] and shivering you shall be upon the earth".

01O 4 13 kai eipen kain proV ton kurion meizwn h aitia mou tou afeqhnai me

01O 4 13 And Cain said to the lord "My accusation (is) greater than (will allow) my acquittal

01O 4 14 If you throw me out TODAY from (the) face of the earth, I shall be hidden also from your face. And I shall be contracting [alt : sighing] and shivering upon the earth - and it shall be that each one finding me shall kill me".

01O 4 15 kai eipen autw kurioV o qeoV ouc outwV paV o apokteinaV kain epta ekdikoumena paralusei kai eqeto kurioV o qeoV shmeion tw kain tou mh anelein auton panta ton euriskonta auton

01O 4 15 And the lord god said to him, "Not so : each one killing Cain shall set free seven vengeances". And the lord god placed a SIGN for Cain, so that everyone finding him should not raise him up [alt : not do away with him]

01O 4 16 exhlqen de kain apo proswpou tou qeou kai wkhsen en gh naid katenanti edem

01O 4 16 And Cain went out from the face of God - and dwelt in (the) earth of Nod, opposite Eden.

01O 4 17 And Cain learned to know his woman and she, conceiving, gave birth to Enoch. And he was building up a city and named the city after the name of his son, Enoch.

01O 4 19 Lamech took for himself two women : (the) name of the one (was) Ada and (the) name of the second (was) Sella.

01O 4 20 kai eteken ada ton iwbel outoV hn o pathr oikountwn en skhnaiV kthnotrofwn

01O 4 20 And Ada gave birth to Jobel. This was the father of those who dwell in (the) tents of those who breed beasts.

01O 4 21 And (the) name of his brother (was) Jubal. This was the one who demonstrates the harp and the lyre.

01O 4 22 But Sella gave birth by herself to Thobel and he was the hammer-wielding smith of bronze and iron. And (the) sister of Thobel (was) Noema.

01O 4 23 And Lamech said to his women , Ada and Sella "Listen to my voice, you women of Lamech. Pay attention to my sayings. For I killed a man for wounding me - and a young man for bruising me.

01O 4 24 oti eptakiV ekdedikhtai ek kain ek de lamec ebdomhkontakiV epta

01O 4 24 For seven times there shall be vengeance from Cain, but from Lamech seventy times seven".
