< Genesis 6 >
1 Long ah kaminawk pung o aep aep naah, nihcae mah canunawk to sak o,
And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the ground, and daughters were born unto 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 they took them 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 the LORD said, My spirit shall not strive with man for ever, for that he also is flesh: yet shall his days be an 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.
The Nephilim were in the earth in those days, and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them: the same were the mighty men which were of old, the 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 the LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
6 Long ah a sak ih kami nuiah dawnpakhuem moe, palungset.
And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at 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 the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the ground; both man, and beast, and creeping thing, and fowl of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.
8 Toe Noah loe Angraeng mikcuk naakrak ah khosak.
But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.
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.
These are the generations of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, [and] perfect in his generations: Noah walked with God.
10 Noah mah capa thumto sak; Shem, Ham hoi Japheth.
And Noah begat 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 filled with 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 saw the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon 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 unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with 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 thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without 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 this is how thou shalt make it: the length of the ark 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 shalt thou finish it upward; and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof; with lower, second, and third stories 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.
And I, behold, I do bring the flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; every thing that is in the earth shall die.
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 I will establish my covenant with thee; and thou shalt come 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 the fowl after their kind, and of the cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the ground after its kind, two of every sort shall come unto 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 unto thee of all food that is eaten, and gather it to thee; and it shall be for food for thee, and for them.
22 Sithaw mah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, Noah mah sak.
Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he.
