1 Ke kaloku uAdam wamazi uEva umkakhe; wamitha, wazala uKayin,* wathi, Ndizuzé indoda ngoYehova.
2 Waphinda wazala umninawa wakhe, uAbheli;* uAbheli waba ngumalusi wezimvu, uKayin waba ngumsebenzi womhlaba.
3 Kwathi ekupheleni kwamihla ithile, uKayin wathabatha eziqhameni zomhlaba, wazisa umnikelo kuYehova.
4 UAbheli wazisa naye, ethabathe kumazibulo ezimvu zakhe, kwezinamanqatha. Waza uYehova wambheka uAbheli nomnikelo wakhe.
5 Akambheka uKayin nomnikelo wakhe. Waqumba kunene uKayin, basangana ubuso bakhe.
6 Wathi uYehova kuKayin, Yini na ukuba uqumbe, yini na ukuba busangane ubuso bakho?
