Genesis 6
1 Long ah kaminawk pung o aep aep naah, nihcae mah canunawk to sak o,
And it came to pass when mankind began to multiply on the earth, and daughters were born to them,
2 Sithaw capanawk mah kami canunawk to kranghoih parai ah hnuk o; angmacae koeh ih kami to qoih o moe, zu ah lak o.
that the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair, and took themselves wives of all that they chose.
3 To pongah Angraeng mah, Kami loe taksa ah oh pongah, nihcae khaeah kai ih Muithla om poe mak ai; toe a hinghaih loe saning cumvai, pumphaeto ni om tih, tiah thuih.
And Jehovah said, My Spirit shall not always plead with Man; for he indeed is flesh; but his days shall be a hundred and twenty years.
4 To nathuem ah kalen parai kaminawk long ah khosak o; to pacoengah doeh, Sithaw capanawk loe kami canunawk khaeah caeh o moe, nihcae hoiah caa tapen o; to kaminawk loe canghnii ah thacak kami hoi ahmin kamthang kami ah oh o.
In those days were the giants on the earth, and also afterwards, when the sons of God had come in to the daughters of men, and they had borne [children] to them; these were the heroes, who of old were men of renown.
5 Long nuiah kami zaehaih to pung, boeng thai ai kasae hmuen khue ni palung thungah a poek, tiah Angraeng mah hnuk.
And Jehovah saw that the wickedness of Man was great on the earth, and every imagination of the thoughts of his heart only evil continually.
6 Long ah a sak ih kami nuiah dawnpakhuem moe, palungset.
And Jehovah repented that he had made Man on the earth, and it grieved him in his heart.
7 To pongah Angraeng mah, Long nuiah ka sak ih, kami, taw ih moi, long ah avak hmuen hoi van ih tavaanawk to ka tamit boih han boeh; nihcae ka sak pongah, dawnpakhuemhaih ka tawnh, tiah a thuih.
And Jehovah said, I will destroy Man, whom I have created, from the earth — from man to cattle, to creeping things, and to fowl of the heavens; for I repent that I have made them.
8 Toe Noah loe Angraeng mikcuk naakrak ah khosak.
But Noah found favour in the eyes of Jehovah.
9 Noah kawng loe hae tiah oh; Noah loe koephaih tawn kami ah oh moe, angmah dung ah kaom kaminawk thungah coek koi om ai kami, Sithaw hoi nawnto lam caeh kami ah oh.
This is the history of Noah. Noah was a just man, perfect amongst his generations: Noah walked with God.
10 Noah mah capa thumto sak; Shem, Ham hoi Japheth.
And Noah begot three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
11 Long loe Sithaw hmaa ah amro boeh moe, athii longhaih hoiah koi.
And the earth was corrupt before God, and the earth was full of violence.
12 Sithaw mah long to khet naah, set parai boeh, long kaminawk doeh kasae loklam khue ni pazui o boeh, tito a hnuk.
And God looked upon the earth, and behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted its way on the earth.
13 To pongah Sithaw mah Noah khaeah, Long loe athii longhaih hoiah koi sut boeh pongah, taksa ah kaom kami amro boihhaih to ka hmaa ah phak boeh; khenah, nihcae to long hoi nawnto kam rosak han.
And God said to Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me, for the earth is full of violence through them; and behold, I will destroy them with the earth.
14 To pongah kophar thing hoiah palong to sah ah; a thungah ohhaih imkhaan to sah loe, a thung hoi a nui to hmaica thing tangpri hoiah pazut ah.
Make thyself an ark of gopher wood: [with] cells shalt thou make the ark; and pitch it inside and outside with pitch.
15 Palongpui loe hae tiah sah ah; palong loe kasawk dong cumvai thum; kakawk dong qui panga hoi dong qui thumto sangsak ah.
And thus shalt thou make it: let the length of the ark be three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits.
16 Palong imphu to sah ah loe, na sak pacoengah dongto kasang thokbuem to pathlung ah; thokbuem sak hanah palong panak bangah pathlung ah loe, atlim koek asom, hnetto haih asom hoi asom thumto ah sah ah.
A light shalt thou make to the ark; and to a cubit high shalt thou finish it above. And the door of the ark shalt thou set in its side: [with] a lower, second, and third [story] shalt thou make it.
17 Khenah, Van tlim ah kaom hinghaih takhi tawn moi boih, long ah kaom sak ih hmuennawk to paduek boih hanah, long tui uemhaih to ka phaksak han.
For I, behold, I bring a flood of waters on the earth, to destroy all flesh under the heavens in which is the breath of life: everything that is on the earth shall expire.
18 Toe Kai loe nang hoi lokmaihaih to ka caksak han; nang loe na capanawk, na zu hoi na capanawk ih zunawk boih hoi nawnto palong thungah akun ah.
But with thee will I establish my covenant; and thou shalt go into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons' wives with thee.
19 Hinghaih tawn hmuennawk boih thung hoiah amno hoi ampa kacung ah lah loe, nangmah hoi nawnto hing hanah, palong thungah caeh haih ah.
And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every [sort] shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep [them] alive with thee: they shall be male and female.
20 Kanghmong tavaanawk, kanghmong moinawk, kanghmong long ah avak moinawk boih, hing hanah amno hoi ampa kacung ah nang khaeah angzo o tih.
Of fowl after their kind, and of the cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the ground after its kind, two of each shall go in to thee, to keep [them] alive.
21 Nangmacae hoi moinawk mah caak hanah, caak koi hmuen congca to patung ah, tiah a naa.
And take thou of all food that is eaten, and gather [it] to thee, that it may be for food for thee and for them.
22 Sithaw mah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, Noah mah sak.
And Noah did it; according to all that God had commanded him, so did he.
The World is Destroyed by Water
