| 1 | And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD. | Or Adam connut Eve sa femme, laquelle conçut, et enfanta Caïn; et elle dit: J'ai acquis un homme de par l'Eternel. | And the man knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man with [the help of] Jehovah. |

| 3 | And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD. | Or il arriva, au bout de quelque temps, que Caïn offrit à l'Eternel une oblation des fruits de la terre; | And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto Jehovah. |
| 4 | 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: | Et qu'Abel aussi offrit des premiers-nés de son troupeau, et de leur graisse; et l'Eternel eut égard à Abel, et à son oblation. | And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And Jehovah had respect unto Abel and to his offering: |
| 5 | But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell. | Mais il n'eut point d'égard à Caïn, ni à son oblation; et Caïn fut fort irrité, et son visage fut abattu. | but unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell. |
| 6 | And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen? | Et l'Eternel dit à Caïn: Pourquoi es-tu irrité? et pourquoi ton visage est-il abattu? | And Jehovah said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen? |
| 7 | 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. | Si tu fais bien, ne sera-t-il pas reçu? mais si tu ne fais pas bien, le péché est à la porte; or ses désirs se rapportent à toi, et tu as Seigneurie sur lui. | If thou doest well, shall it not be lifted up? and if thou doest not well, sin coucheth at the door: and unto thee shall be its desire, but do thou rule over it. |
| 8 | 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. | Or Caïn parla avec Abel son frère, et comme ils étaient aux champs, Caïn s'éleva contre Abel son frère, et le tua. | And Cain told Abel his brother.

| 9 | And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother's keeper? | Et l'Eternel dit à Caïn: Où est Abel ton frère? Et il lui répondit: Je ne sais, suis-je le gardien de mon frère, moi? | And Jehovah said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: am I my brother`s keeper? |
| 10 | And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground. | Et Dieu dit: Qu'as-tu fait? La voix du sang de ton frère crie de la terre à moi. | And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother`s blood crieth unto me from the ground. |
| 11 | And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand; | Maintenant donc tu seras maudit, même de la part de la terre, qui a ouvert sa bouche pour recevoir de ta main le sang de ton frère. | And now cursed art thou from the ground, which hath opened its mouth to receive thy brother`s blood from thy hand; |
| 12 | 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. | Quand tu laboureras la terre, elle ne te rendra plus son fruit, et tu seras vagabond et fugitif sur la terre. | when thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee its strength; a fugitive and a wanderer shalt thou be in the earth. |
| 13 | And Cain said unto the LORD, My punishment is greater than I can bear. | Et Caïn dit à l'Eternel: Ma peine est plus grande que je ne puis porter. | And Cain said unto Jehovah, My punishment is greater than I can bear. |
| 14 | 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. | Voici, tu m'as chassé aujourd'hui de cette terre-ci, et je serai caché de devant ta face, et serai vagabond et fugitif sur la terre, et il arrivera que quiconque me trouvera, me tuera. | Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the ground; and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a wanderer in the earth; and it will come to pass, that whosoever findeth me will slay me. |
| 15 | 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. | Et l'Eternel lui dit: C'est pourquoi quiconque tuera Caïn sera puni sept fois davantage. Ainsi l'Eternel mit une marque sur Caïn, afin que quiconque le trouverait, ne le tuât point. | And Jehovah said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold.
