4:1

The man knew his wife Eve. She conceived and gave birth to Cain. She said, 'I have gained a man with God.' 
Veha'Adam yada et-Chavah ishto vatahar vateled et-Kayin vatomer kaniti ish et-Adonay.

וְהָ֣אָדָ֔ם יָדַ֖ע אֶת־חַוָּ֣ה אִשְׁתּ֑וֹ וַתַּ֙הַר֙ וַתֵּ֣לֶד אֶת־קַ֔יִן וַתֹּ֕אמֶר קָנִ֥יתִי אִ֖ישׁ אֶת־יְהוָֽה׃

4:2

She gave birth again, this time to his brother Abel. Abel became a shepherd, while Cain was a worker of the soil. 
Vatosef laledet et-achiv et-Havel vayehi-Hevel ro'eh tson veKayin hayah oved adamah.

וַתֹּ֣סֶף לָלֶ֔דֶת אֶת־אָחִ֖יו אֶת־הָ֑בֶל וַֽיְהִי־הֶ֙בֶל֙ רֹ֣עֵה צֹ֔אן וְקַ֕יִן הָיָ֖ה עֹבֵ֥ד אֲדָמָֽה׃

4:3

An era ended. Cain brought some of his crops as an offering to God. 
Vayehi mikets yamim vayave Kayin miperi ha'adamah minchah l'Adonay.

וַֽיְהִ֖י מִקֵּ֣ץ יָמִ֑ים וַיָּבֵ֨א קַ֜יִן מִפְּרִ֧י הָֽאֲדָמָ֛ה מִנְחָ֖ה לַֽיהוָֽה׃

4:4

Abel also offered some of the firstborn of his flock, from the fattest ones. God paid heed to Abel and his offering, 
VeHevel hevi gam-hu mibechorot tsono umechelvehen vayisha Adonay el-Hevel ve'el-minchato.

וְהֶ֨בֶל הֵבִ֥יא גַם־ה֛וּא מִבְּכֹר֥וֹת צֹאנ֖וֹ וּמֵֽחֶלְבֵהֶ֑ן וַיִּ֣שַׁע יְהוָ֔ה אֶל־הֶ֖בֶל וְאֶל־מִנְחָתֽוֹ׃

4:5

but to Cain and his offering, He paid no heed. Cain became very furious and depressed. 
Ve'el-Kayin ve'el-minchato lo sha'ah vayichar le-Kayin me'od vayiplu panav.

וְאֶל־קַ֥יִן וְאֶל־מִנְחָת֖וֹ לֹ֣א שָׁעָ֑ה וַיִּ֤חַר לְקַ֙יִן֙ מְאֹ֔ד וַֽיִּפְּל֖וּ פָּנָֽיו׃

4:6

God said to Cain, 'Why are you so furious? Why are you depressed? 
Vayomer Adonay el-Kayin lamah charah lach velamah nafelu fanecha.

וַיֹּ֥אמֶר יְהוָ֖ה אֶל־קָ֑יִן לָ֚מָּה חָ֣רָה לָ֔ךְ וְלָ֖מָּה נָפְל֥וּ פָנֶֽיךָ׃

4:7

If you do good, will there not be special privilege? And if you do not do good, sin is crouching at the door. It lusts after you, but you can dominate it.' 
Halo im-teytiv se'et ve'im lo teytiv lapetach chatat rovets ve'elecha teshukato ve'atah timshol-bo.

הֲל֤וֹא אִם־תֵּיטִיב֙ שְׂאֵ֔ת וְאִם֙ לֹ֣א תֵיטִ֔יב לַפֶּ֖תַח חַטָּ֣את רֹבֵ֑ץ וְאֵלֶ֙יךָ֙ תְּשׁ֣וּקָת֔וֹ וְאַתָּ֖ה תִּמְשָׁל־בּֽוֹ׃

4:8

Cain said [something] to his brother Abel. Then, when they happened to be in the field, Cain rose up against his brother Abel, and killed him. 
Vayomer Kayin el-Hevel achiv vayehi biheyotam basadeh vayakom Kayin el-Hevel achiv vayahargehu.

וַיֹּ֥אמֶר קַ֖יִן אֶל־הֶ֣בֶל אָחִ֑יו וַֽיְהִי֙ בִּהְיוֹתָ֣ם בַּשָּׂדֶ֔ה וַיָּ֥קָם קַ֛יִן אֶל־הֶ֥בֶל אָחִ֖יו וַיַּהַרְגֵֽהוּ׃

4:9

God asked Cain, 'Where is your brother Abel?'

'I do not know,' replied [Cain]. 'Am I my brother's keeper?' 
Vayomer Adonay el-Kayin ey Hevel achicha vayomer lo yadati hashomer achi anochi.

וַיֹּ֤אמֶר יְהוָה֙ אֶל־קַ֔יִן אֵ֖י הֶ֣בֶל אָחִ֑יךָ וַיֹּ֙אמֶר֙ לֹ֣א יָדַ֔עְתִּי הֲשֹׁמֵ֥ר אָחִ֖י אָנֹֽכִי׃

4:10

God said, 'What have you done? The voice of your brother's blood is screaming to Me from the ground. 
Vayomer me asita kol demey achicha tsoakim elay min-ha'adamah.

וַיֹּ֖אמֶר מֶ֣ה עָשִׂ֑יתָ ק֚וֹל דְּמֵ֣י אָחִ֔יךָ צֹעֲקִ֥ים אֵלַ֖י מִן־הָֽאֲדָמָֽה׃

4:11

Now you are cursed from the ground that opened its mouth to take your brother's blood from your hand. 
Ve'atah arur atah min-ha'adamah asher patseta et-piha lakachat et-demey achicha miyadecha.

וְעַתָּ֖ה אָר֣וּר אָ֑תָּה מִן־הָֽאֲדָמָה֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר פָּצְתָ֣ה אֶת־פִּ֔יהָ לָקַ֛חַת אֶת־דְּמֵ֥י אָחִ֖יךָ מִיָּדֶֽךָ׃

4:12

When you work the ground, it will no longer give you of its strength. You will be restless and isolated in the world. 
Ki ta'avod et-ha'adamah lo-tosef tet-kocha lach na vanad tihyeh va'arets.

כִּ֤י תַֽעֲבֹד֙ אֶת־הָ֣אֲדָמָ֔ה לֹֽא־תֹסֵ֥ף תֵּת־כֹּחָ֖הּ לָ֑ךְ נָ֥ע וָנָ֖ד תִּֽהְיֶ֥ה בָאָֽרֶץ׃

4:13

Cain said, 'My sin is too great to bear! 
Vayomer Kayin el-Adonay gadol avoni mineso.

וַיֹּ֥אמֶר קַ֖יִן אֶל־יְהוָ֑ה גָּד֥וֹל עֲוֺנִ֖י מִנְּשֹֽׂא׃

4:14

Behold, today You have banished me from the face of the earth, and I am to be hidden from Your face. I am to be restless and isolated in the world, and whoever finds me will kill me.' 
Hen gerashta oti hayom me'al peney ha'adamah umipanecha esater vehayiti na vanad ba'arets vehayah chol- motse'i yahar'geni.

הֵן֩ גֵּרַ֨שְׁתָּ אֹתִ֜י הַיּ֗וֹם מֵעַל֙ פְּנֵ֣י הָֽאֲדָמָ֔ה וּמִפָּנֶ֖יךָ אֶסָּתֵ֑ר וְהָיִ֜יתִי נָ֤ע וָנָד֙ בָּאָ֔רֶץ וְהָיָ֥ה כָל־מֹצְאִ֖י יַֽהַרְגֵֽנִי׃

4:15

God said to him, 'Indeed! Whoever kills Cain will be punished seven times as much.' God placed a mark on Cain so that whoever would find him would not kill him. 
Vayomer lo Adonay lachen kol-horeg Kayin shiv'atayim yukam vayasem Adonay le-Kayin ot levilti hakot-oto kol-motse'o.

וַיֹּ֧אמֶר ל֣וֹ יְהוָ֗ה לָכֵן֙ כָּל־הֹרֵ֣ג קַ֔יִן שִׁבְעָתַ֖יִם יֻקָּ֑ם וַיָּ֨שֶׂם יְהוָ֤ה לְקַ֙יִן֙ א֔וֹת לְבִלְתִּ֥י הַכּוֹת־אֹת֖וֹ כָּל־מֹצְאֽוֹ׃

4:16

Cain went out from before God's presence. He settled in the land ofNod, to the east of Eden. 
Vayetse Kayin milifney Adonay vayeshev be'erets-Nod kid'mat-Eden.

וַיֵּ֥צֵא קַ֖יִן מִלִּפְנֵ֣י יְהוָ֑ה וַיֵּ֥שֶׁב בְּאֶֽרֶץ־נ֖וֹד קִדְמַת־עֵֽדֶן׃

Enoch had a son Irad. Irad had a son Mechuyael. Mechuyael had a son Methushael. Methushael had a son Lemekh. 
Vayivaled la-Chanoch et-Yirad veYirad yalad et-Mechuya'el uMechiya'el yalad et-Metusha'el uMetusha'el yalad et-Lamech.

Vayikach-lo Lemech shtey nashim shem ha'achat Adah veshem hashenit Tsilah.

וַיִּֽקַּֽח־ל֥וֹ לֶ֖מֶךְ שְׁתֵּ֣י נָשִׁ֑ים שֵׁ֤ם הָֽאַחַת֙ עָדָ֔ה וְשֵׁ֥ם הַשֵּׁנִ֖ית צִלָּֽה׃

Vateled Adah et-Yaval hu hayah avi yoshev ohel umikneh.

וַתֵּ֥לֶד עָדָ֖ה אֶת־יָבָ֑ל ה֣וּא הָיָ֔ה אֲבִ֕י יֹשֵׁ֥ב אֹ֖הֶל וּמִקְנֶֽה׃

4:21

His brother's name was Yuval. He was the ancestor of all who play the harp and flute. 
Veshem achiv Yuval hu hayah avi kol-tofes kinor ve'ugav.

וְשֵׁ֥ם אָחִ֖יו יוּבָ֑ל ה֣וּא הָיָ֔ה אֲבִ֕י כָּל־תֹּפֵ֥שׂ כִּנּ֖וֹר וְעוּגָֽב׃

Lemekh said to his wives, 'Adah and Tzillah, hear my voice; wives of Lemekh, listen to my speech. I have killed a man by wounding [him], and a child by bruising [him]. 
Vayomer Lemech lenashvav Adah veTsilah shma'an koli neshey Lemech ha'azenah imrati ki ish haragti lefits'i veyeled lechaburati.

וַיֹּ֨אמֶר לֶ֜מֶךְ לְנָשָׁ֗יו עָדָ֤ה וְצִלָּה֙ שְׁמַ֣עַן קוֹלִ֔י נְשֵׁ֣י לֶ֔מֶךְ הַאְזֵ֖נָּה אִמְרָתִ֑י כִּ֣י אִ֤ישׁ הָרַ֙גְתִּי֙ לְפִצְעִ֔י וְיֶ֖לֶד לְחַבֻּרָתִֽי׃
