Genesis 6
1 Long ah kaminawk pung o aep aep naah, nihcae mah canunawk to sak o,
When men began to multiply on the surface of the ground, 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.
God’s sons saw that men’s daughters were beautiful, and they took any that they wanted for themselves as wives.
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.
The LORD said, “My Spirit will not strive with man forever, because he also is flesh; so his days will be one hundred 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 God’s sons came in to men’s daughters and had children with them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, 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.
The LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of man’s heart was continually only evil.
6 Long ah a sak ih kami nuiah dawnpakhuem moe, palungset.
The LORD was sorry 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.
The LORD said, “I will destroy man whom I have created from the surface of the ground—man, along with animals, creeping things, and birds of the sky—for I am sorry that I have made them.”
8 Toe Noah loe Angraeng mikcuk naakrak ah khosak.
But Noah found favor in the LORD’s eyes.
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 the generations of Noah: Noah was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time. Noah walked with God.
10 Noah mah capa thumto sak; Shem, Ham hoi Japheth.
Noah became the father of three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
11 Long loe Sithaw hmaa ah amro boeh moe, athii longhaih hoiah koi.
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.
God saw the earth, and saw that it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted their 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.
God said to Noah, “I will bring an end to all flesh, for the earth is filled with violence through them. Behold, I will destroy them and 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 a ship of gopher wood. You shall make rooms in the ship, and shall seal 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.
This is how you shall make it. The length of the ship shall be three hundred cubits, its width fifty cubits, and its height 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.
You shall make a roof in the ship, and you shall finish it to a cubit upward. You shall set the door of the ship in its side. You shall make it with lower, second, and third levels.
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.
I, even I, will bring the flood of waters on this earth, to destroy all flesh having the breath of life from under the sky. Everything that is in the earth will 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 you. You shall come into the ship, you, your sons, your wife, and your sons’ wives with you.
19 Hinghaih tawn hmuennawk boih thung hoiah amno hoi ampa kacung ah lah loe, nangmah hoi nawnto hing hanah, palong thungah caeh haih ah.
Of every living thing of all flesh, you shall bring two of every sort into the ship, to keep them alive with you. 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 birds after their kind, of the livestock after their kind, of every creeping thing of the ground after its kind, two of every sort will come to you, to keep them alive.
21 Nangmacae hoi moinawk mah caak hanah, caak koi hmuen congca to patung ah, tiah a naa.
Take with you some of all food that is eaten, and gather it to yourself; and it will be for food for you, and for them.”
22 Sithaw mah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, Noah mah sak.
Thus Noah did. He did all that God commanded him.
The World is Destroyed by Water
