Genesis 8
1 Toe Sithaw mah kahing hmuennawk boih, Noah hoi nawnto kaom moinawk boih to pahnet ai; long nuiah takhi to songsak pongah, tui to anghak.
And God remembered Noah, and all the wild animals, and all the tame animals, and all the flying creatures, and all the crawling creatures that were with him in the ship; and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters began to recede.
2 Kathuk thung ih tuipueknawk hoi van ih thokbuemnawk to anghak moe, van hoi angzo kho to dip.
And the fountains of the deep and the floodgates of the sky were closed, and the rain from the sky was restrained.
3 Long asom ih tui to kaang tathuk; ni cumvai, qui pangato pacoengah, tui to amsah tathuk.
And the waters receded steadily from the land. And after the end of one hundred fifty days the waters had decreased significantly.
4 Khrah sarihto, ni hatlai sarihto naah, palong to Ararat mae nuiah angtang.
And in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, the ship came to rest on the mountains of Ararat.
5 Khrah ha karoek to tui to amsah tathuk, khrah hato haih hmaloe koek niah loe kasang maenawk to amtueng boeh.
The waters receded continually to the tenth month. In the tenth month, on the first day of the month, the tops of the mountains became visible.
6 Ni qui palito pacoengah, Noah mah a sak ih palong thokbuem to paongh;
It happened at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ship which he had made,
7 pangaah maeto a prawt, pangaah loe long nuiah tui kang ai karoek to, ahnuk ahma azawk.
and he sent forth a raven. It went back and forth, until the waters had dried up from the earth.
8 To pacoengah long nuiah tui kaang boeh maw tiah panoek hanah, pahuu maeto a prawt let;
Then he sent forth a dove from it, to see if the waters had abated from the surface of the ground,
9 toe long to tui mah khuk boih vop pongah, acukhaih ahmuen to hnu ai; to pongah a ohhaih palong ah amlaem let; to pacoengah Noah mah ban to payangh moe, pahuu to angmah khaeah palong thungah lak.
but the dove found no place to rest her foot, and she returned to him into the ship; for the waters were on the surface of the whole earth. He put forth his hand, and took her, and brought her to him into the ship.
10 Ni sarihto zing pacoengah, pahuu to palong thung hoiah a prawt let.
And he waited yet another seven days; and again he sent forth the dove out of the ship.
11 Duembang ah loe pahuu to angmah khaeah amlaem let, khenah, pahuu loe tahmawh ah olive thingqam to koeng; to naah long nuiah tui to kaang tathuk boeh, tiah Noah mah panoek.
The dove came back to him at evening, and, look, in her mouth was an olive leaf plucked off. So Noah knew that the waters had abated from the earth.
12 Ni sarihto zing pacoengah, pahuu to a prawt let; to pacoengah loe pahuu to angmah khaeah amlaem let ai boeh.
He stayed yet another seven days, and sent forth the dove; and she did not return to him any more.
13 Saning cumvai taruk, maeto, khrahto haih, ni tangsuek naah long nui ih tui to kaang tathuk; Noah mah palong imphu to khok moe, a khet naah, long nuiah tui to kaang boeh, tiah a hnuk.
And it happened in the six hundred first year of Noah's life, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters had dried up from the earth. And Noah removed the covering of the ship and looked out. And look, the surface of the ground was dry.
14 Khrah hnetto haih, ni pumphaeto pacoeng, sarihto naah, long nuiah tui to kaang boih boeh.
In the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was dry.
15 To naah Sithaw mah Noah khaeah,
God spoke to Noah, saying,
16 Nangmah hoi na zu, na capanawk hoi na capanawk ih zunawk, palong thung hoiah tacawt o laih.
"Go out of the ship, you, and your wife, and your sons, and your sons' wives with you.
17 Nang hoi nawnto kaom hinghaih tawn hmuennawk, moinawk boih, tavaanawk, pacah ih moinawk hoi long ah kavak hmuennawk boih tacawt haih ah; long ah caa kapop ah sah o nasoe, thingthai athai o nasoe loe, long nuiah pung o nasoe, tiah a naa.
Bring out with you every living thing that is with you of all flesh, of flying creatures, and animals, and every creature that crawls on the earth, that they may swarm on the earth, and be fruitful and multiply on the earth."
18 To pongah Noah loe a caanawk, a zu hoi a caanawk ih zunawk hoi nawnto tacawt o.
And Noah went forth, with his sons, his wife, and his sons' wives with him.
19 Moi kasannawk boih, long ah kavak hmuennawk boih, tavaanawk boih, atii kanghmong long ah kavak moinawk boih, palong thung hoiah tacawt o.
And every wild animal, and every tame animal, and every flying creature, and every creature that crawls on the earth, after their families, went out of the ship.
20 Noah mah Angraeng hanah hmaicam to sak; kaciim moi, kaciim tavaa to a lak pacoengah, hmai hoi angbawnhaih to a sak.
Noah built an altar to God, and took of every clean animal, and of every clean flying creature, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.
21 To tiah hmai angbawnhaih to Angraeng mah hmuihoih ah thaih pae naah, Angraeng mah palung thung hoiah, Kami mah nawkta nathuem hoiah poekhaih kasae tawn cadoeh, kami hanah long hae ka tangoeng let mak ai boeh; ka sak ih hmuen baktih toengah, kahing hmuennawk to natuek naah doeh kam rosak mak ai boeh.
And God smelled the pleasing aroma, and God said in his heart, "I will never again curse the ground because of humankind, even though the inclination of his heart is evil from his youth, nor will I again destroy every living thing, as I have done.
22 Long oh nathung, antii haehhaih tue, thingthai qumpo lakhaih tue, kangqai tue, kabae tue, nipui tue hoi sik tue, khodai hoi khoving to natuek naah doeh boeng mak ai boeh, tiah thuih.
While the earth remains, seed time and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease."
