IGenesisi 4:3-8

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.
