Jay P. Green's Literal Translation 1993
| 4:1 | And the man knew his wife Eve. And she conceived and bore Cain, and said, I have gotten a man with the help of Jehovah. |
| 4:2 | And she continued to bear his brother, Abel. And Abel became a shepherd of flocks. And Cain became a tiller of the ground. |
| 4:3 | And in the end of days, it happened that Cain brought an offering to Jehovah from the fruit of the ground. |
| 4:4 | And Abel brought, he also, from the firstlings of his flocks, even from their fat. And Jehovah looked to Abel and to his offering. |
| 4:5 | And He did not look to Cain and to his offering. And Cain glowed greatly with anger, and his face fell. |
| 4:6 | And Jehovah said to Cain, Why have you angrily glowed, and why has your face fallen? |
| 4:7 | If you do well, is there not exaltation? And if you do not do well, sin is crouching at the door; and its desire is toward you; but you should rule over it. |
| 4:8 | And Cain talked with his brother Abel. And it happened as they were in the field, Cain rose up against His brother Abel, and killed him. |
| 4:9 | And Jehovah said to Cain, Where is your brother Abel? And he said, I do not know. Am I my brother's keeper? |
| 4:10 | And He said, What have you done? The voice of the blood of your brother cries to Me from the ground. |
| 4:11 | And now you are cursed more than the ground which opened its mouth to receive your brother's blood from your hand. |
| 4:12 | When you till the ground, it will not again give its strength to you. You shall be a vagabond and a fugitive on the earth. |
| 4:13 | And Cain said to Jehovah, My punishment is greater than I can bear. |
| 4:14 | Behold! You have driven me out from the face of the earth today. And I shall be hidden from Your face. And I shall be a vagabond and a fugitive on the earth. And it will be that anyone who finds me shall kill me. |
| 4:15 | And Jehovah said to him, If anyone kills Cain, he shall be avenged sevenfold. And Jehovah set a mark on Cain, so that anyone who found him should not kill him. |
| 4:16 | And Cain went out from the presence of Jehovah. And he lived in the land of Nod, east of Eden. |
| 4:17 | And Cain knew his wife, and she conceived and bore Enoch. And he built a city, and he called the name of the city according to the name of his son, Enoch. |
| 4:18 | And Irad was born to Enoch; and Irad fathered Mehujael And Mehujael fathered Methusael; and Methusael fathered Lamech. |
| 4:19 | And Lamech took two wives to himself: the name of the first was Adah; and the name of the second was Zillah. |
| 4:20 | And Adah bore Jabal; he was the father of those living in tents, and with cattle. |
| 4:21 | And the name of his brother was Jubal; he was the father of all those playing the harp and the organ. |
| 4:22 | And Zillah also bore Tubalcain, the hammerer of every engraving tool of bronze and iron. And the sister of Tubalcain was Naamah. |
| 4:23 | And Lamech said to his wives, Adah and Zillah, Hear my voice, you wives of Lamech; listen to my words; for I have killed a man because of my wound, and a young man because of my hurt. |
| 4:24 | For Cain is avenged sevenfold, and Lamech seventy seven. |
| 4:25 | And Adam knew his wife again, and she bore a son. And she called his name, Seth, for God has appointed to me another seed in place of Abel because Cain killed him. |
| 4:26 | And a son was also born to Seth, and he called his name, Enos. Then it was begun to call on the name of Jehovah. |
