U-Abela wayengumelusi, uKhayini engumlimi. Kwathi ngokuhamba kwezinsuku uKhayini waletha kuSimakade umnikelo wezithelo zomhlabathi. U-Abela naye waletha amazibulo emfuyo yakhe, wanikela ngezitho zawo ezinonileyo. USimakade wamnaka u-Abela nomnikelo wakhe, kodwa uKhayini nomnikelo wakhe wakushaya indiva. UKhayini wathukuthela wagana unwabu, wahwaqabala ebusweni. USimakade wambuza uKhayini wathi: “Uthukutheleleni na? Bunyukubaleleni ubuso bakho na? Uma wenza okuhle, awuzukwamukela okuhle yini na? Uma ungenzi kahle, isono sisemnyango, siyakunyonyobela; sifuna wena, kodwa wena sinqobe.” UKhayini wathi ku-Abela umnawakhe: “Asihambe siye endle.” Kuthe sebefike endle, uKhayini wambhudukeza umnawakhe wambulala. USimakade wambuza uKhayini wathi: “Uphi umnawakho u-Abela na?” UKhayini waphendula wathi: “Angazi. Kanti ngingumlindi womfowethu yini na?” Wathi kuye: “Ukwenzeleni lokho na? Igazi lomnawakho liyakhala kimi lisemhlabathini! Usuqalekisiwe emhlabathini lona ovule umlomo wawo wemukela igazi lomnawakho olichithele kuwo ngesandla sakho. Uma ulima, umhlabathi awuyikukunika sivuno; uzoba ngumhambuma nozulane emhlabeni.” UKhayini wathi kuSimakade: “Ngeke ngisimele lesi sijeziso, siyangisinda. Bheka, namuhla usungixoshile emhlabeni, sengingumhambuma nozulane ezweni, ngethuswa wubala, noma ngubani ohlangana nami uzofuna ukungibulala.” USimakade wathi kuye: “Akusoze kwenzeka lokho, ngoba uma umuntu ekubulala, uyojeziswa kasikhombisa.” USimakade wayesembeka uphawu uKhayini ukuze lwexwayise noma ngubani ohlangana naye angambulali. UKhayini wasuka phambi kukaSimakade, wahamba wayohlala eNodi, empumalanga ye-Edeni.

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. Wayesethi uJehova kuKayini: “Uphi umfowenu u-Abela na?” Wathi: “Angazi; ngingumlindi womfowethu na?” Khona wathi: “Wenzeni na? Izwi legazi lomfowenu liyakhala kimi lisemhlabathini. Usuqalekisiwe emhlabathini ovulile umlomo wawo ukwamukela igazi lomfowenu esandleni sakho. Uma ulima umhlabathi, awusayikukunika isithelo sawo; wena uyakuba ngumhambuma nozulane emhlabeni.” Khona wathi uKayini kuJehova: “Isono sami sikhulu kunokuba ngisithwale. Bheka, uyangixosha namuhla ebusweni bomhlaba, ngicashe ebusweni bakho; ngiyakuba ngumhambuma nozulane emhlabeni, ongifumanayo angibulale.” Kepha uJehova wathi kuye: “Ngalokho obulala uKayini uyakuphindiselwa kasikhombisa.” UJehova wabeka uphawu kuKayini, funa omfumanayo ambulale.
