UGenesise 4:1-6

U-Adamu wamazi umkakhe u-Eva; wakhulelwa, wazala uKayini, wathi: “Ngifumene indoda evela kuJehova.” Waphinda wazala umfowabo u-Abela. U-Abela wayengumalusi wezinkomo, kepha uKayini wayengumlimi. Kwathi ngokuhamba kwesikhathi uKayini waletha umnikelo eNkosini evela ezithelweni zomhlabathi. U-Abela naye waletha amanye amazibulo ezimvu zakhe namanoni awo. UJehova wamnaka u-Abela nomhlatshelo wakhe. Kodwa akazange amnake uKhayini nomhlatshelo wakhe. UKayini wathukuthela kakhulu, ubuso bakhe bawa. INkosi yasisithi kuKayini: Uthukuthelelani? kungani ubuso bakho bunyukubele?
