| [6]And the Lord seide to hym, Whi art thou wrooth, and whi felde doun thi face? |
[6]And the LORDH3068 saidH559 H8799unto CainH7014, Why art thou wrothH2734 ? H8804and why is thy countenanceH6440 fallenH5307?[H8804] |
| [7]Whether not if thou schalt do wel, thou schalt resseyue; but if thou doist yuele, thi synne schal be present anoon in the yatis? but the desir therof schal be vndur thee, and thou schalt be lord therof. |
[7]IfH518 thou doest wellH3190 , H8686shalt thou not be acceptedH7613? and if thou doest not wellH3190 , H8686sinH2403 liethH7257 H8802at the doorH6607. And unto thee shall be his desireH8669, and thou shalt ruleH4910 over himH8799. |

| [9]And the Lord seide to Cayn, Where is Abel thi brother? Which answerde, Y woot not; whether Y am the kepere of my brothir? |
[9]And the LORDH3068 saidH559 H8799unto CainH7014, WhereH335 is AbelH1893 thy brotherH251? And he saidH559 , H8799I knowH3045 H8804not: Am I my brother'sH251 keeperH8104?[H8802] |
| [10]And God seide to Cayn, What hast thou do? the vois of the blood of thi brother crieth to me fro erthe. |
[10]And he saidH559 , H8799WhatH4100 hast thou doneH6213 ? H8804the voiceH6963 of thy brother'sH251 bloodH1818 criethH6817 H8802unto me from the groundH127. |

[11]And now art thou cursedH779 H8803from the earthH127, which hath openedH6475 H8804her mouthH6310 to receiveH3947 H8800thy brother'sH251 bloodH1818 from thy handH3027; |
| [12]Whanne thou schalt worche the erthe, it schal not yyue his fruytis to thee; thou schalt be vnstable of dwellyng and fleynge aboute on erthe in alle the daies of thi lijf. |

| [13]And Cayn seide to the Lord, My wickidnesse is more than that Y disserue foryyuenesse; lo! |
[13]And CainH7014 saidH559 H8799unto the LORDH3068, My punishmentH5771 is greaterH1419 than I can bearH5375.[H8800] |
| [14]to dai thou castist me out fro the face of the erthe; and Y schal be hid fro thi face, and Y schal be vnstable of dwellyng and fleynge aboute in erthe; therfore ech man that schal fynde me schal slee me. |
[14]Behold, thou hast driven me outH1644 H8765this dayH3117 from the faceH6440 of the earthH127; and fromH5921 thy faceH6440 shall I be hidH5641 ; H8735and I shall be a fugitiveH5128 H8801and a vagabondH5110 H8802in the earthH776; and it shall come to passH1961 , H8804that every one that findeth meH4672 H8802shall slay meH2026.[H8799] |
| [15]And the Lord seide to hym, It schal not be don so, but ech man that schal slee Cayn shal be punyschid seuenfold. And the Lord settide a signe in Cayn, that ech man that schulde fynde hym schulde not slee hym. |
[15]And the LORDH3068 saidH559 H8799unto him, ThereforeH3651 whosoever slayethH2026 H8802CainH7014, vengeance shall be takenH5358 H8714on him sevenfoldH7659. And the LORDH3068 setH7760 H8799a markH226 upon CainH7014, lestH1115 any findingH4672 H8802him should killH5221 himH8687. |
