Great⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Adam knewe Heua his wife: Who conceauynge, bare Cain, sayinge: I haue gotten a man of the Lorde. ² And she proceadynge furth, brought furth hys brother Habel, and Habel was a keper of shepe. But Cain was a tyller of the grounde. ³ And in processe of dayes it came to passe, that Cain brought of the frute of the grounde an oblacyon vnto the Lorde. ⁴ Habel also brought of the fyrstlynges of hys shepe, and of the fat therof. And the Lorde had respecte vnto Habel, & to hys oblacyon. ⁵ But vnto Cain and to hys offrynge he had no respecte. For the whych cause Cain was exceadyng wrothe, and hys countenaunce abated. ⁶ And the Lorde sayde vnto Cain: Why art thou wrothe, & why is thy countenaunce abated? yf thou do well, shall there not be a promocion. ⁷ And yf thou dost not well, lyeth not thy synne in the dores? Unto the also pertayneth the lust therof, and thou shalt haue dominion ouer it. ⁸ And Cain spake vnto Habel hys brother. And it fortuned whan they were in the felde, Cain rose vp agaynst Habel hys brother, and slue him. ⁹ And the Lorde sayde vnto Cain: Where is Habel thy brother? Whych sayd: I wote not. Am I my brothers keper? ¹⁰ And he sayde: What hast thou done? The voyce of thy brothers bloude crieth vnto me out of the grounde. ¹¹ And nowe art thou curssed from of the erth, whych hath opened hyr mouth, to receaue thy brothers bloude from thy hande. ¹² If thou tyll the grounde, she shall not proceade to yelde vnto the hyr strength. Fugityue, and vagabounde shalt thou be in the erth. ¹³ And Cain sayde vnto the Lorde: Myne iniquite is more, then that it maye be forgeuen. ¹⁴ Beholde, thou hast cast me out this daye from the vpper face of the erth, and from thy face shall I be hyd: Fugityue also and a vagabounde shall I be in the erth. And it shall come to passe: euery one that fyndeth me, shall slaye me. ¹⁵ And the Lorde sayde vnto him: yee, but whosoeuer slayeth Cain, it shalbe auenged seuen folde. And the Lorde set a marke vpon Cain, lest any man fyndynge him, shulde kyll hym. ¹⁶ And Cain wente out from the presence of the Lorde, & dwelt in the londe of Nod eastward from Eden. ¹⁷ Cain also knewe his wife, whych conceaued & bare Henoch: & buyldinge a cyte, he called the name of the same cyte after the name of hys sonne Henoch. ¹⁸ Unto the same Henoch was borne Irad. Irad bedat Mehuiael, & Mehuiael begat Methuschael. Methuschael begat Lamech. ¹⁹ And Lamech toke vnto hym two wyues: The name of the one was Ada, & the name of the other was Zilla. ²⁰ And Ada begat Iabal, whych was the father of such as dwell in tentes, & of suche as haue catell. ²¹ His brothers name was Thubal, whych was the father of such as handle harpe & organe. ²² And Zilla also begat Thubal Cain, which wrought connyngly euery craft of brasse & of yron. The syster of Thubal Cain, was Naema. ²³ And Lamech sayde vnto his wyues Ada and Zilla: Heare my voyce ye wyues of Lamech, herken vnto my speche: I haue not slayne a man to the woundynge of my selfe, & a yonge man to myne owne punyshment. ²⁴ If Cain shalbe auenged seuenfolde, truly Lamech seuentye tymes and seuen tymes. ²⁵ Adam knewe his wife agayne, & she bare a sonne, and called his name Seth: For God (sayde she) hath appoynted me another sede in steade of Habel, whom Cain slew. ²⁶ And vnto the same Seth also there was borne a sonne, & he called his name Enos. Then began they to make inuocacyon in the name of the Lorde.
