4:4
καὶ Αβελ ἤνεγκεν καὶ αὐτὸς ἀπὸ τῶν πρωτοτόκων τῶν προβάτων αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν στεάτων
αὐτῶν. καὶ ἐπεῖδεν ὁ θεὸς ἐπὶ Αβελ καὶ ἐπὶ τοῖς δώροις αὐτοῦ,
And Abel carried from the firstborn of his sheep and from their stiff fat. And God looked upon
Abel and upon his gift
4:5
ἐπὶ δὲ Καιν καὶ ἐπὶ ταῖς θυσίαις αὐτοῦ οὐ προσέσχεν. καὶ ἐλύπησεν τὸν Καιν λίαν, καὶ
συνέπεσεν τῷ προσώπῳ.
But He did not consider Cain and his offerings. And Cain was greatly distressed, and his face
fell.
4:6
καὶ εἶπεν κύριος ὁ θεὸς τῷ Καιν Ἵνα τί περίλυπος ἐγένου, καὶ ἵνα τί συνέπεσεν τὸ πρόσωπόν
σου;
And the Lord said to Cain, ‘For what purpose have you become distressed and for what purpose
has your face fallen?
4:7
οὐκ, ἐὰν ὀρθῶς προσενέγκῃς, ὀρθῶς δὲ μὴ διέλῃς, ἥμαρτες; ἡσύχασον, πρὸς σὲ ἡ ἀποστροφὴ
αὐτοῦ, καὶ σὺ ἄρξεις αὐτοῦ.
Is it not that if you rightly offer but do not rightly divide, you sin? Be quiet! His turning back will
be to you, and you will rule him.’
4:8
