Caution!
This Lamech, son of Methuselah, son of Enoch is different
then Lamech, son of Methusael, son of Mahujael.
Lamech (/ˈleɪmɪk/; Hebrew: לֶמֶךְ Lemeḵ, in pausa לָמֶךְ Lāmeḵ; Greek: Λάμεχ Lámekh) was a patriarch in the genealogies of Adam in the Book of Genesis. He is part of the genealogy of Jesus in Luke 3:36. According to the Book of Jasher (Yasher), Lamech's wife was named Ashmua (Jasher 4:11).
Lamech (Arabic: Lamik) is also mentioned in Islam in the various collections of tales of the prophets who preceded Muhammad, which mentions him in an identical manner.
. And Lamech lived an hundred eighty and two years, and begat a son:
. And he called his name Noah, saying, This same shall comfort us concerning our work and toil of our hands, because of the ground which the Lord hath cursed. And Lamech lived after he begat Noah five hundred ninety and five years, and begat sons and daughters:
. And all the days of Lamech were seven hundred seventy and seven years: and he died.
— Genesis 5:28–31 King James Version
Lamech is the eighth-generation descendant of Adam (Genesis 5:25), the son of Methuselah, and the father of Noah (Genesis 5:29), in the genealogy of Seth in Genesis 5. In Genesis 5:12-25, Lamech was a son of Methuselah, who was a grandson of Jared, who was a grandson of Kenan descended from Adam.
Genesis 5:28–31 records that Lamech was 182 (according to the Masoretic Text; 188 according to the Septuagint) years old at the birth of Noah and lived for another 595 years, attaining an age at death of 777 years, five years before the Flood in the Masoretic chronology. With such numbers in this genealogical account, Adam would still have been alive for about the first 56 years of Lamech's life.

瑪土撒利之子
Lameque era filho de Metusalém, e neto de Enoque. Um dos poucos relatos de sua vida são que ele era um homem justo e temente a Deus. Era pai de Noé, quando seu filho nasceu, ele profetizou dizendo: — Este nos consolará acerca de nossas obras e do trabalho de nossas mãos, por causa da terra que o Senhor amaldiçoou. Lameque teve muitos filhos e filhas durante sua vida, e morreu antes de seu pai, com a idade de 777 anos, e pode ter conhecido Adão, pois Adão morreu nos seus dias de vida.
TRANSLATED TO ENGLISH:
Lamech was the son of Methuselah, and grandson of Enoch. One of the few accounts of his life is that he was a righteous and God-fearing man. He was the father of Noah, when his son was born, he prophesied saying: - This one will comfort us concerning our works and the toil of our hands, because of the ground which the Lord has cursed. Lamech had many sons and daughters during his lifetime, and he died before his father, at the age of 777, and may have known Adam, for Adam died in his lifetime.
