KJV ¹ And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD.

LSG ¹ Adam connut Eve, sa femme ; elle conçut, et enfanta Caïn et elle dit: J'ai formé un homme avec l'aide de l'Éternel.

VULC ¹ Adam vero cognovit uxorem suam Hevam, quæ concepit et peperit Cain, dicens : Possedi hominem per Deum.

KJV ² And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.

LSG ² Elle enfanta encore son frère Abel. Abel fut berger, et Caïn fut laboureur.

VULC ² Rursumque peperit fratrem ejus Abel. Fuit autem Abel pastor ovium, et Cain agricola.

KJV ³ And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD.

LSG ³ Au bout de quelque temps, Caïn fit à l'Éternel une offrande des fruits de la terre ;

VULC ³ Factum est autem post multos dies ut offerret Cain de fructibus terræ munera Domino.

KJV 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:

LSG ⁴ et Abel, de son côté, en fit une des premiers-nés de son troupeau et de leur graisse. L'Éternel porta un regard favorable sur Abel et sur son offrande ;

VULC ⁴ Abel quoque obtulit de primogenitis gregis sui, et de adipibus eorum : et respexit Dominus ad Abel, et ad munera ejus.

KJV ⁵ But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.

LSG ⁵ mais il ne porta pas un regard favorable sur Caïn et sur son offrande. Caïn fut très irrité, et son visage fut abattu.

VULC ⁵ Ad Cain vero, et ad munera illius non respexit : iratusque est Cain vehementer, et concidit vultus ejus.

KJV ⁶ And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen?

LSG ⁶ Et l'Éternel dit à Caïn: Pourquoi es-tu irrité, et pourquoi ton visage est-il abattu ?

VULC ⁶ Dixitque Dominus ad eum : Quare iratus es ? et cur concidit facies tua ?

KJV 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.

LSG ⁷ Certainement, si tu agis bien, tu relèveras ton visage, et si tu agis mal, le péché se couche à la porte, et ses désirs se portent vers toi: mais toi, domine sur lui.

VULC ⁷ nonne si bene egeris, recipies : sin autem male, statim in foribus peccatum aderit ? sed sub te erit appetitus ejus, et tu dominaberis illius.

KJV 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.

LSG ⁸ Cependant, Caïn adressa la parole à son frère Abel ; mais, comme ils étaient dans les champs, Caïn se jeta sur son frère Abel, et le tua.

VULC ⁸ Dixitque Cain ad Abel fratrem suum : Egrediamur foras. Cumque essent in agro, consurrexit Cain adversus fratrem suum Abel, et interfecit eum.
