Can someone help me translate to english this: "L'oeil etait dans la tombe et regardait cain"?

It looks like other people had the correct literal translation of "The eye was in the grave and looking at Cain"

But remember if it was part of a poem then it'll probably make more sense used figuratively. Such as,

"The opening was in the grave watching Cain"

or

"The opening was in the grave considering Cain".

If you have the rest of the poem, it would be easier to translate with the right context.

It is French. I believe it says: The eyesight was (in the/on the) (grave/tomb) and looked at Cain.

I think this might be a verse from the Bible in the Book of Genesis, the story of Cain and Able.

It is French and this is the translation:

The eye etait in the tomb and looked at cain.

It's French and means "The eye was in the grave and looked at Cain"

The eye was in the tomb and looking at Cain.

It's French.

You must take into acount the poem s meaning (it is by Victor Hugo "The Conscience" about Cain s overwhelming remorse at killing Abel).

I suggest "The eye, deep in the tomb, was staring at Cain".
