Genesis 7
1 Angraeng mah Noah khaeah, Nangmah hoi na imthung takoh boih palong thungah akun oh; nang loe ka hmaa ah vaihi dung ih kaminawk salakah kami katoeng ah kang hnuk.
Then Yahweh said to Noah, “I have seen that out of everyone who is now living, you alone always act righteously. So you and all your family go into the boat.
2 Long nuiah taw ih moi atii anghmat ving han ai ah, atii kamghnong kaciim moi to amno hoi ampa sarihto, acaeng kanghmong kaciim ai moi doeh amno hoi ampa hnetto,
Take with you seven pairs of every kind of animal that I have said I will accept for sacrifices. Take seven males and seven females. Also take a male and a female from every kind of animal that I have said that I will not accept for sacrifices.
3 atii kanghmong van ih tavaa doeh amno hoi ampa sarihto ah la boih ah.
Also take seven pairs of every kind of bird from all over the earth to keep them alive.
4 Vaihi hoi ni sarihto thungah, long ah ni qui palito hoi qum qui palito thung kho kang oihsak moe, long nuiah kaom ka sak ih kahing hmuennawk to kam rosak boih han, tiah a naa.
Do this because seven days from now I will cause rain to fall on the earth. It will rain constantly for 40 days and nights. By doing that, I will destroy everything that I have made that is on the earth.”
5 Angraeng mah thuih ih lok baktih toengah Noah mah sak boih.
Noah did everything that Yahweh told him to do.
6 Long to tui mah uem naah, Noah loe saning cumvai tarukto oh boeh.
Noah was 600 years old when the flood covered the earth.
7 Tui len pongah, Noah mah a capanawk, a zu hoi a capanawk ih zu boih, palong thungah akun haih.
Before it started to rain, Noah and his wife and his sons went into the boat to escape from the flood water.
8 Kaciim hoi kaciim ai moinawk, tavaanawk hoi long ah kavak moinawk boih,
Pairs of animals, those that God said that he would accept for sacrifices and those that he would not accept for sacrifices, and pairs of birds and pairs of all the kinds of creatures that move close to the ground,
9 Sithaw mah Noah khaeah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, amno hoi ampa hnetto kacung ah, Noah hoi nawnto palong thungah akun o.
males and females, came to Noah and then went into the boat, just as God told Noah that they would do.
10 Ni sarihto pacoengah loe long nuiah tui uemhaih to phak.
Seven days later, it started to rain and a flood began to cover the earth.
11 Noah hinghaih saning cumvai tarukto koephaih saning, khrah hnetto haih, ni hatlai sarihto naah, kalen hoi kathuk long thung hoiah tui to puek moe, van thokbuemnawk to am-ongh.
When Noah was 600 years old, (on the 17th day of the second month [of that year/late in October]), all the water that is under the surface of the earth burst forth, and it began to rain so hard that it was as though a dam [MET] in the sky burst open.
12 Ni qui palito hoi qum qui palito long nuiah kho angzoh.
Rain fell on the earth constantly for 40 days and nights.
13 To na niah Noah loe a capa Shem, Ham hoi Japheth, a zu hoi a capa thumto ih zunawk,
On the day that it started to rain, Noah went into the boat with his wife, and his three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth and their wives.
14 Moi kasannawk, pacah ih moinawk boih, long ah kavak moi, pakhraeh tawn tavaanawk loe Noah hoi nawnto palong thungah akun o.
They had already put in the boat some of every kind of wild animal and every kind of livestock and every kind of bird and every other creature that has wings.
15 Hinghaih tawn, moinawk boih loe hnetto kacung ah, Noah khaeah caeh o moe, palong thungah akun o.
Pairs of all animals came to Noah and entered the boat.
16 Sithaw mah Noah khaeah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, moinawk boih amno hoi ampa kacung ah, Noah khaeah palong thungah akun o; to pacoengah Angraeng mah anih to thok khah thuih khoep.
There was a male and a female of each animal that came to Noah, just as God had said they would do. After they were all in the boat, God shut the door.
17 Long loe ni qui palito thung tui mah uem; kalen aep aep tui mah palong to long ranui ah atoengh tahang.
It rained for 40 days and nights, and the flood increased. It flooded until the water lifted the boat above the ground.
18 Tui loe len moe, long ranui bangah sang tahang aep aep; tui mah palong to long ranui ah atoengh tahang.
As he water rose higher and higher, the boat floated on the surface of the water.
19 Long nuiah tui len parai pongah, van tlim ah kaom, maesangnawk to tui mah uem boih.
The water rose all over the earth until it covered all the mountains.
20 Mae ranuih dong hatlai panga karoek to tui mah uengh tahang.
Even the highest mountains were covered by more than (20 feet/6 meters) of water.
21 Long ah kaom angtawt thaih moinawk, tavaanawk, pacah ih moinawk, taw ih moisannawk, long ah kavak moinawk hoi kaminawk to duek o boih.
As a result, every living creature on the surface of the earth died. That included birds and livestock and wild animals and other creatures that scurry across the ground, and all the people.
22 Saoeng ah kaom, hnah hoi anghahaih takhi tawn moinawk to duek o boih.
On the land, (everything that breathed/every living thing) died.
23 Long nuiah kaom kahing hmuennawk, kami, pacah ih moi, long ah kavak moinawk, van ih tavaanawk to tamit boih; Noah angmah, anih hoi nawnto kaom kaminawk khue ni anghmat o.
God destroyed every living creature: People and animals and creatures that scurry across the ground and birds. Only Noah and those who were in the boat with him remained alive.
24 Tui mah long to ni cumvai, qui pangato thung uem.
The flood remained like that on the earth for 150 days.
The Great Flood
