16. Waphuma uKayin, wemka ebusweni bukaYehova; wahlala ezweni lakwaKuphalaphala phambi kwe-Eden.
17. UKayin wamazi umkakhe, wamitha, wazala uEnoki. Wákha umzi, wawuthiya loo mzi ngegama lonyana wakhe uEnoki.
18. UEnoki wazalelwa uIradi; uIradi wazala uMehuyaheli; uMehuyaheli wazala uMetusaheli; uMetusaheli wazala uLameki.
19. ULameki wazeka abafazi ababini; igama lomnye belinguAda, igama lowesibini belinguZila.
20. UAda wazala uYabhali; yena waba nguyise wabahlala ezintenteni, nabafuyileyo.
21. Igama lomninawa wakhe belinguYubhali; yena waba nguyise wabo bonke abaphatha uhadi nogwali.
22. UZila uthe naye wazala uTubhalekayin, obekhanda yonke impahla enobukhali yobhedu nesinyithi; udade woTubhalekayin ebenguNahama.
23. Wathi uLameki kubafazi bakhe,Ada noZila, liveni ilizwi lam!Bafazi bakaLameki, phulaphulani intetho yam!Sendibulele indoda ngenxa yenxeba lam,Nendodana ngenxa yomvumbo wam;
24. Xa uKayin aya kuphindezelwa kasixhenxe,Yena uLameki uya kuphindezelwa kamashumi osixhenxe anesixhenxe.
25. UAdam wabuya wamazi umkakhe, wazala unyana, wathi igama lakhe nguSete,* kuba wathi, UThixo undimisele enye imbewu esikhundleni sika-Abheli owabulawa nguKayin.
26. USete naye wazalelwa unyana, wathi igama lakhe nguEnoshe. Kwaqalwa oko ukunqulwa igama likaYehova.
