UGenesise 4:3-8

Kwathi emva kwezinsuku ezithile uKayini waletha kuJehova umnikelo wezithelo zomhlabathi. Naye u-Abela waletha umnikelo kuwo amazibulo ezimvu zakhe ezinonileyo. UJehova wanaka u-Abela nomnikelo wakhe. Kepha uKayini nomnikelo wakhe akawunakanga. Wayesethukuthela kakhulu uKayini, ubuso bakhe banyukumala. UJehova wathi kuKayini: “Uthukuthelelani na? Ubuso bakho bunyukumeleleni na? Angithi uma wenza kahle, uyamukeleka na? Uma ungenzi kahle, isono sihlezi ngasemnyango; ukunxanela kwaso kukuwe, kepha wena umelwe ukusibusa.” UKayini wakhuluma ku-Abela umfowabo, wathi: “Masiye endle.” Kwathi besendle, uKayini wasukela umfowabo u-Abela, wambulala.
