When with his children dressed in
animal skins, Echevelé, livid in the midst of storms,
Cain fled from before Jehovah,
As dusk fell, the dark man arrived
At the bottom of a mountain in a big way plain;
His tired wife and breathless sons
said to him, "Let us lie on the earth, and sleep. "
Cain, do not sleep, thinking of the foothills.
Having lifted up his head, in the depths of the funeral heavens,
He saw an eye, wide open in the darkness,
And gazing at him in the darkness.
"I'm too close," he said with a tremor.
He woke his sleeping sons, his weary wife,
And began to flee sinisterly into space.
He walked thirty days, he walked thirty nights.
He went, silent, pale and quivering with noises,
Furtive, without looking behind him, without truce,
Without rest, without sleep; he reached the shore
of the seas in the land that was since Assur.
"Let us stop," he said, "for this asylum is safe.
Let's leave it there. We have the world reached the limits. "
And as he sat, he saw in the gloomy skies
The eye in the same place at the bottom of the horizon.
Then he shuddered in the black shiver.
"Hide me! He shouted; and, with his finger on his mouth,
all his sons watched the fierce grandfather tremble.
Cain says to Jabel, father of those who go
Under tents of hair in the deep desert:
"Extend the canvas of the tent on this side. "
And we developed the floating wall;
And when it was fixed with weights of lead:
"You do not see anything? Said Tsilla, the fair child,
The daughter of his Sons, as sweet as the dawn;
And Cain answered, "I see that eye again! "
Jubal, father of those who pass through the towns
Blowing in bugles and striking drums,
Cria:" I will be able to build a barrier. "
He made a bronze wall and put behind Cain.
And Cain says, "This eye is still watching me! "
Enoch said," We must make a tower enclosure
So terrible, that nothing can approach her.
Let's build a city with its citadel,
build a city, and close it. "
So Tubalcain, father of blacksmiths,
built a huge and superhuman city.
While he was working, his brothers in the plain
hunted the children of Enos and the children of Seth;
And everyone's eyes were blown away;
And in the evening, arrows were thrown at the stars.
Granite replaced the tent with canvas walls.
Each block was bound with knots of iron.
And the city seemed a hellish city;
The shadow of towers made night in the countryside;
They gave the walls the thickness of the mountains;
On the door we engraved: "Defense to God to enter. "
When they finished closing and wall,
they put the grandfather to the center in a stone tower;
And he remained gloomy and haggard. "O my father!
Has the eye disappeared? Shouted Tsilla.
And Cain answered, "No, he is still there."
Then he said, "I want to live under the earth,
As in his sepulcher a lonely man,
Nothing will see me more, I will see nothing."
So they made a pit and Cain said "it's good!"
and he went down alone in this dark vault.
When he was sitting on his chair in the shade
and we had closed on his forehead underground,
the
