Genesis 4

The Message Bible MSG

1 Adam slept with Eve his wife. She conceived and had Cain. She said, "I've gotten a man, with God's help!"

2 Then she had another baby, Abel. Abel was a herdsman and Cain a farmer.

3 Time passed. Cain brought an offering to God from the produce of his farm.

4 Abel also brought an offering, but from the firstborn animals of his herd, choice cuts of meat. God liked Abel and his offering,

5 but Cain and his offering didn't get his approval. Cain lost his temper and went into a sulk.

6 God spoke to Cain: "Why this tantrum? Why the sulking?

7 If you do well, won't you be accepted? And if you don't do well, sin is lying in wait for you, ready to pounce; it's out to get you, you've got to master it."

8 Cain had words with his brother. They were out in the field; Cain came at Abel his brother and killed him.

9 God said to Cain, "Where is Abel your brother?" He said, "How should I know? Am I his babysitter?"

10 God said, "What have you done! The voice of your brother's blood is calling to me from the ground.

11 From now on you'll get nothing but curses from this ground; you'll be driven from this ground that has opened its arms to receive the blood of your murdered brother.

12 You'll farm this ground, but it will no longer give you its best. You'll be a homeless wanderer on Earth."

13 Cain said to God, "My punishment is too much. I can't take it!

14 You've thrown me off the land and I can never again face you. I'm a homeless wanderer on Earth and whoever finds me will kill me."

15 God told him, "No. Anyone who kills Cain will pay for it seven times over." God put a mark on Cain to protect him so that no one who met him would kill him.

16 Cain left the presence of God and lived in No-Man's-Land, east of Eden.

17 Cain slept with his wife. She conceived and had Enoch. He then built a city and named it after his son, Enoch.

18 Enoch had Irad, Irad had Mehujael, Mehujael had Methushael, Methushael had Lamech.

19 Lamech married two wives, Adah and Zillah.

20 Adah gave birth to Jabal, the ancestor of all who live in tents and herd cattle.

21 His brother's name was Jubal, the ancestor of all who play the lyre and flute.

22 Zillah gave birth to Tubal-Cain, who worked at the forge making bronze and iron tools. Tubal-Cain's sister was Naamah.

23 Lamech said to his wives, Adah and Zillah, listen to me; you wives of Lamech, hear me out: I killed a man for wounding me, a young man who attacked me.

24 If Cain is avenged seven times, for Lamech it's seventy-seven!

25 Adam slept with his wife again. She had a son whom she named Seth. She said, "God has given me another child in place of Abel whom Cain killed."

26 And then Seth had a son whom he named Enosh. That's when men and women began praying and worshiping in the name of God.

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 Adam vero cognovit Havam uxorem suam quae concepit et peperit Cain dicens possedi hominem per Dominum

2 rursusque peperit fratrem eius Abel fuit autem Abel pastor ovium et Cain agricola

3 factum est autem post multos dies ut offerret Cain de fructibus terrae munera Domino

4 Abel quoque obtulit de primogenitis gregis sui et de adipibus eorum et respexit Dominus ad Abel et ad munera eius

5 ad Cain vero et ad munera illius non respexit iratusque est Cain vehementer et concidit vultus eius

6 dixitque Dominus ad eum quare maestus es et cur concidit facies tua

7 nonne si bene egeris recipies sin autem male statim in foribus peccatum aderit sed sub te erit appetitus eius et tu dominaberis illius

8 dixitque Cain ad Abel fratrem suum egrediamur foras cumque essent in agro consurrexit Cain adversus Abel fratrem suum et interfecit eum

9 et ait Dominus ad Cain ubi est Abel frater tuus qui respondit nescio num custos fratris mei sum

10 dixitque ad eum quid fecisti vox sanguinis fratris tui clamat ad me de terra

11 nunc igitur maledictus eris super terram quae aperuit os suum et suscepit sanguinem fratris tui de manu tua

12 cum operatus fueris eam non dabit tibi fructus suos vagus et profugus eris super terram

13 dixitque Cain ad Dominum maior est iniquitas mea quam ut veniam merear

14 ecce eicis me hodie a facie terrae et a facie tua abscondar et ero vagus et profugus in terra omnis igitur qui invenerit me occidet me

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 egressusque Cain a facie Domini habitavit in terra profugus ad orientalem plagam Eden

17 cognovit autem Cain uxorem suam quae concepit et peperit Enoch et aedificavit civitatem vocavitque nomen eius ex nomine filii sui Enoch

18 porro Enoch genuit Irad et Irad genuit Maviahel et Maviahel genuit Matusahel et Matusahel genuit Lamech

19 qui accepit uxores duas nomen uni Ada et nomen alteri Sella

20 genuitque Ada Iabel qui fuit pater habitantium in tentoriis atque pastorum

21 et nomen fratris eius Iubal ipse fuit pater canentium cithara et organo

22 Sella quoque genuit Thubalcain qui fuit malleator et faber in cuncta opera aeris et ferri soror vero Thubalcain Noemma

23 dixitque Lamech uxoribus suis Adae et Sellae audite vocem meam uxores Lamech auscultate sermonem meum quoniam occidi virum in vulnus meum et adulescentulum in livorem meum

24 septuplum ultio dabitur de Cain de Lamech vero septuagies septies

25 cognovit quoque adhuc Adam uxorem suam et peperit filium vocavitque nomen eius Seth dicens posuit mihi Deus semen aliud pro Abel quem occidit Cain

26 sed et Seth natus est filius quem vocavit Enos iste coepit invocare nomen Domini
