41 And the man knew Eve his wife, and she conceiveth and beareth Cain, and saith, 'I have gotten a man by Jehovah;' 2 and she addeth to bear his brother, even Abel. And Abel is feeding a flock, and Cain hath been servant of the ground.
3 And it cometh to pass at the end of days that Cain bringeth from the fruit of the ground a present to Jehovah; 4 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, 5 and unto Cain and unto his present He hath not looked; and it is very displeasing to Cain, and his countenance is fallen.
6 And Jehovah saith unto Cain, 'Why hast thou displeasure? and why hath thy countenance fallen? 7 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.'
8 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.
9 And Jehovah saith unto Cain, 'Where 'is' Abel thy brother?' and he saith, 'I have not known; my brother's keeper—I?' 10 And He saith, 'What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood is crying unto Me from the ground; 11 and now, cursed 'art' thou from the ground, which hath opened her mouth to receive the blood of thy brother from thy hand; 12 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.'
13 And Cain saith unto Jehovah, 'Greater is my punishment than to be borne; 14 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.' 15 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.
16 And Cain goeth out from before Jehovah, and dwelleth in the land, moving about east of Eden; 17 and Cain knoweth his wife, and she conceiveth, and beareth Enoch; and he is building a city, and he calleth the name of the city, according to the name of his son—Enoch. 18 And born to Enoch is Irad; and Irad hath begotten Mehujael; and Mehujael hath begotten Methusael; and Methusael hath begotten Lamech.
19 And Lamech taketh to himself two wives, the name of the one Adah, and the name of the second Zillah. 20 And Adah beareth Jabal, he hath been father of those inhabiting tents and purchased possessions; 21 and the name of his brother 'is' Jubal, he hath been father of every one handling harp and organ. 22 And Zillah she also bare Tubal-Cain, an instructor of every artificer in brass and iron; and a sister of Tubal-Cain 'is' Naamah.
23 And Lamech saith to his wives:—'Adah and Zillah, hear my voice; Wives of Lamech, give ear 'to' my saying: For a man I have slain for my wound, Even a young man for my hurt; 24 For sevenfold is required for Cain, And for Lamech seventy and sevenfold.'
25 And Adam again knoweth his wife, and she beareth a son, and calleth his name Seth, 'for God hath appointed for me another seed instead of Abel:' for Cain had slain him. 26 And to Seth, to him also a son hath been born, and he calleth his name Enos; then a beginning was made of preaching in the name of Jehovah.
51 This 'is' an account of the births of Adam: In the day of God's preparing man, in the likeness of God He hath made him; 2 a male and a female He hath prepared them, and He blesseth them, and calleth their name Man, in the day of their being prepared. 3 And Adam liveth an hundred and thirty years, and begetteth 'a son' in his likeness, according to his image, and calleth his name Seth. 4 And the days of Adam after his begetting Seth are eight hundred years, and he begetteth sons and daughters. 5 And all the days of Adam which he lived are nine hundred and thirty years, and he dieth.
6 And Seth liveth an hundred and five years, and begetteth Enos. 7 And Seth liveth after his begetting Enos eight hundred and seven years, and begetteth sons and daughters. 8 And all the days of Seth are nine hundred and twelve years, and he dieth. 9 And Enos liveth ninety years, and begetteth Cainan. 10 And Enos liveth after his begetting Cainan eight hundred and fifteen years, and begetteth sons and daughters. 11 And all the days of Enos are nine hundred and five years, and he dieth. 12 And Cainan liveth seventy years, and begetteth Mahalaleel. 13 And Cainan liveth after his begetting Mahalaleel eight hundred and forty years, and begetteth sons and daughters. 14 And all the days of Cainan are nine hundred and ten years, and he dieth. 15 And Mahalaleel liveth five and sixty years, and begetteth Jared. 16 And Mahalaleel liveth after his begetting Jared eight hundred and thirty years, and begetteth sons and daughters. 17 And all the days of Mahalaleel are eight hundred and ninety and five years, and he dieth. 18 And Jared liveth an hundred and sixty and two years, and begetteth Enoch. 19 And Jared liveth after his begetting Enoch eight hundred years, and begetteth sons and daughters. 20 And all the days of Jared are nine hundred and sixty and two years, and he dieth.
21 And Enoch liveth five and sixty years, and begetteth Methuselah. 22 And Enoch walketh habitually with God after his begetting Methuselah three hundred years, and begetteth sons and daughters. 23 And all the days of Enoch are three hundred and sixty and five years. 24 And Enoch walketh habitually with God, and he is not, for God hath taken him.
25 And Methuselah liveth an hundred and eighty and seven years, and begetteth Lamech. 26 And Methuselah liveth after his begetting Lamech seven hundred and eighty and two years, and begetteth sons and daughters. 27 And all the days of Methuselah are nine hundred and sixty and nine years, and he dieth.
28 And Lamech liveth an hundred and eighty and two years, and begetteth a son, 29 and calleth his name Noah, saying, 'This 'one' doth comfort us concerning our work, and concerning the labour of our hands, because of the ground which Jehovah hath cursed.' 30 And Lamech liveth after his begetting Noah five hundred and ninety and five years, and begetteth sons and daughters. 31 And all the days of Lamech are seven hundred and seventy and seven years, and he dieth. 32 And Noah is a son of five hundred years, and Noah begetteth Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
61 And it cometh to pass that mankind have begun to multiply on the face of the ground, and daughters have been born to them, 2 and sons of God see the daughters of men that they 'are' fair, and they take to themselves women of all whom they have chosen.
3 And Jehovah saith, 'My Spirit doth not strive in man—to the age; in their erring they 'are' flesh:' and his days have been an hundred and twenty years.
4 The fallen ones were in the earth in those days, and even afterwards when sons of God come in unto daughters of men, and they have borne to them—they 'are' the heroes, who, from of old, 'are' the men of name. 5 And Jehovah seeth that abundant 'is' the wickedness of man in the earth, and every imagination of the thoughts of his heart only evil all the day;
6 and Jehovah repenteth that He hath made man in the earth, and He grieveth Himself—unto His heart. 7 And Jehovah saith, 'I wipe away man whom I have prepared from off the face of the ground, from man unto beast, unto creeping thing, and unto fowl of the heavens, for I have repented that I have made them.'
8 And Noah found grace in the eyes of Jehovah.
9 These 'are' births of Noah: Noah 'is' a righteous man; perfect he hath been among his generations; with God hath Noah walked habitually. 10 And Noah begetteth three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
11 And the earth is corrupt before God, and the earth is filled 'with' violence. 12 And God seeth the earth, and lo, it hath been corrupted, for all flesh hath corrupted its way on the earth.
13 And God said to Noah, 'An end of all flesh hath come before Me, for the earth hath been full of violence from their presence; and lo, I am destroying them with the earth. 14 'Make for thyself an ark of gopher-wood; rooms dost thou make with the ark, and thou hast covered it within and without with cypress; 15 and this 'is' that which thou dost with it: three hundred cubits 'is' the length of the ark, fifty cubits its breadth, and thirty cubits its height; 16 a window dost thou make for the ark, and unto a cubit thou dost restrain it from above; and the opening of the ark thou dost put in its side,—lower, second, and third 'stories' dost thou make it. 17 'And I, lo, I am bringing in the deluge of waters on the earth to destroy all flesh, in which 'is' a living spirit, from under the heavens; all that 'is' in the earth doth expire. 18 'And I have established My covenant with thee, and thou hast come in unto the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy son's wives with thee; 19 and of all that liveth, of all flesh, two of every 'sort' thou dost bring in unto the ark, to keep alive with thee; male and female are they. 20 Of the fowl after its kind, and of the cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the ground after its kind, two of every 'sort' they come in unto thee, to keep alive. 21 'And thou, take to thyself of all food that is eaten; and thou hast gathered unto thyself, and it hath been to thee and to them for food.'
22 And Noah doth according to all that God hath commanded him; so hath he done.
21 And Jesus having been born in Beth-Lehem of Judea, in the days of Herod the king, lo, mages from the east came to Jerusalem, 2 saying, 'Where is he who was born king of the Jews? for we saw his star in the east, and we came to bow to him.' 3 And Herod the king having heard, was stirred, and all Jerusalem with him, 4 and having gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he was inquiring from them where the Christ is born. 5 And they said to him, 'In Beth-Lehem of Judea, for thus it hath been written through the prophet, 6 And thou, Beth-Lehem, the land of Judah, thou art by no means the least among the leaders of Judah, for out of thee shall come one leading, who shall feed My people Israel.' 7 Then Herod, privately having called the mages, did inquire exactly from them the time of the appearing star, 8 and having sent them to Beth-Lehem, he said, 'Having gone—inquire ye exactly for the child, and whenever ye may have found, bring me back word, that I also having come may bow to him.'
9 And they, having heard the king, departed, and lo, the star, that they did see in the east, did go before them, till, having come, it stood over where the child was. 10 And having seen the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy, 11 and having come to the house, they found the child with Mary his mother, and having fallen down they bowed to him, and having opened their treasures, they presented to him gifts, gold, and frankincense, and myrrh, 12 and having been divinely warned in a dream not to turn back unto Herod, through another way they withdrew to their own region.
13 And on their having withdrawn, lo, a messenger of the Lord doth appear in a dream to Joseph, saying, 'Having risen, take the child and his mother, and flee to Egypt, and be thou there till I may speak to thee, for Herod is about to seek the child to destroy him.' 14 And he, having risen, took the child and his mother by night, and withdrew to Egypt, 15 and he was there till the death of Herod, that it might be fulfilled that was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying, 'Out of Egypt I did call My Son.'
16 Then Herod, having seen that he was deceived by the mages, was very wroth, and having sent forth, he slew all the male children in Beth-Lehem, and in all its borders, from two years and under, according to the time that he inquired exactly from the mages. 17 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet, saying, 18 'A voice in Ramah was heard—lamentation and weeping and much mourning—Rachel weeping 'for' her children, and she would not be comforted because they are not.'
19 And Herod having died, lo, a messenger of the Lord in a dream doth appear to Joseph in Egypt, 20 saying, 'Having risen, take the child and his mother, and be going to the land of Israel, for they have died—those seeking the life of the child.' 21 And he, having risen, took the child and his mother, and came to the land of Israel, 22 and having heard that Archelaus doth reign over Judea instead of Herod his father, he was afraid to go thither, and having been divinely warned in a dream, he withdrew to the parts of Galilee, 23 and coming, he dwelt in a city named Nazareth, that it might be fulfilled that was spoken through the prophets, that 'A Nazarene he shall be called.'
