YLT
Young's Literal Translation

King James Version
And the
man
knew Eve his wife ,
and she conceiveth
and beareth
Cain, and saith
, `
I have gotten a man by
Jehovah;'
And Adam
knew Eve his wife ;
and she conceived,
and bare
Cain, and said
, I have gotten a man from
the
LORD.
and she addeth
to
bear
his brother ,
even
Abel. And Abel is
feeding
a flock
, and
Cain hath
been
servant
of the ground.
And she again
bare
his brother Abel. And Abel was
a keeper
of
sheep
, but
Cain was
a
tiller
of the ground.
And it cometh
to pass at
the
end
of
days
that Cain bringeth
from
the fruit of the ground a
present
to
Jehovah;
And in
process
of
time
it came
to pass ,
that Cain brought
of
the fruit of the ground an
offering
unto
the
LORD.
and Abel, he hath
brought,
he
also ,
from
the female
firstlings of his flock ,
even
from
their
fat ones;
and Jehovah
looketh
unto Abel and unto
his present,
And Abel, he also brought
of
the firstlings of his flock and
of
the
fat thereof.
And the
LORD
had
respect
unto Abel and to
his offering:
and
unto Cain and unto
his present
He hath
not looked;
and it
is
very
displeasing
to
Cain, and his countenance is
fallen
.
But
unto Cain and to
his offering
he had
not respect.
And Cain was
very
wroth
, and his countenance fell
.
And Jehovah
saith
unto Cain, `
Why hast
thou displeasure
? and why hath
thy countenance fallen?
And the
LORD
said
unto Cain, Why art
thou wroth
? and why is
thy countenance fallen?
Is
there
not,
if thou dost
well, acceptance
? and if thou dost
not well, at the opening
a
sin-offering
is
crouching,
and unto thee its
desire, and thou rulest
over it
. '
If thou doest
well, shalt
thou
not
be
accepted
? and if thou doest
not well, sin
lieth
at the door.
And unto thee shall
be
his
desire, and thou shalt
rule
over him
.
And Cain saith
unto
Abel his brother ,
``Let
us
go
into
the
field;''
and it cometh
to pass in
their
being
in the field, that Cain riseth
up against Abel his brother, and slayeth
him.
And Cain talked
with
Abel his brother :
and it came
to pass ,
when
they
were
in the field, that Cain rose
up against Abel his brother, and slew
him.
And Jehovah
saith
unto Cain, `
Where `
is '
Abel thy brother? '
and he saith
, `
I have
not known;
my brother's keeper --
I
? '
And the
LORD
said
unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said
, I know
not :
Am
I
my brother's keeper?
And He saith
, `
What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood is
crying
unto Me from the ground ;
And he said
, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth
unto me from the ground .
and now ,
cursed
`
art '
thou from the ground
, which hath opened her mouth to receive the
blood
of
thy brother
from thy hand;
And now art thou cursed
from the earth
, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother's
blood
from thy hand;
when thou tillest the ground, it doth
not add
to
give
its
strength
to
thee --
a wanderer,
even
a trembling
one,
thou art
in the earth. '
When thou tillest the ground, it shall
not henceforth
yield
unto
thee her
strength;
a fugitive
and
a vagabond
shalt
thou be
in the earth.
And Cain saith
unto Jehovah
, `Greater
is
my punishment than to
be
borne;
And Cain said
unto the
LORD
, My punishment is
greater
than I
can
bear.
lo
, Thou hast driven me to-
day from off
the face of the ground,
and from Thy face I am
hid; and I have
been
a wanderer,
even
a trembling
one,
in the earth ,
and it hath
been
--
every one finding
me doth
slay me. '
Behold
, thou hast driven me out
this
day from the face of the earth;
and from thy face shall
I be
hid; and I shall
be
a fugitive
and
a vagabond
in the earth ;
and it shall
come
to
pass,
that
every one that
findeth
me shall
slay me.
And Jehovah
saith
to
him, `
Therefore --
of
any
slayer
of
Cain sevenfold it
is
required;'
and Jehovah
setteth
to
Cain
a token
that
none
finding him doth
slay
him.
And the
LORD
said
unto
him, Therefore whosoever
slayeth
Cain ,
vengeance
shall
be
taken
on
him
sevenfold .
And the
LORD
set
a mark
upon
Cain,
lest
any
finding him should
kill
him.

out from before
Jehovah
, and dwelleth

ear
`to'
my saying
: For a
man
I have slain for
my wound
, Even
a young man for
my hurt ;
And Lamech said
unto
his wives ,
Adah and Zillah, Hear my voice; ye
wives of Lamech, hearken
unto
my speech
: for I have slain a
man
to
