Suencuek 6

1 Te vaengkah hlang loh diklai hman ah pungtai pahoi tih amamih ham canua cun uh hatah,

And Noe was five hundred years old, and he begot three sons, Sem, Cham, and Japheth. And it came to pass when men began to be numerous upon the earth, and daughters were born to them,

2 Pathen capa rhoek loh hlang canurhoek te then tilaa hmuh uh. Te dongah amih te amamih yuu la boeiha coelh tih a loh uh.

that the sons of God having seen the daughters of men that they were beautiful, took to themselves wives of all whom they chose.

3 Te dongah BOEIPA loh, “Hlang ngawn tah pumsa la om tih kai kah mueihla loh hlang taengah kumhal ah ka naep eh a ti pawt dongah hlang kah khohnin he kum ya neh kum kul mah om saeh,” a ti.

And the Lord God said, My Spirit shall certainly not remain among these men for ever, because they are flesh, but their days shall be an hundred and twenty years.

4 Te vaeng tue ah Nephilim rhoek tah diklai ah om uh. A hnukah khaw Pathen capa rhoek te hlang canurhoek taengah kun uh tih amih ham ca a cun pauh. Amihte khosuen kah hlangrhalh la ming aka om hlang rhoek ni.

Now the giants were upon the earth in those days; and after that when the sons of God were wont to go in to the daughters of men, they bore [children] to them, those were the giants of old, the men of renown.

5 BOEIPA loh diklai hmanah hlang kah boethae he yet tih a lungbuei kopoek neh benbonah loh boeih khaw hnin takuema thae bueng ni tilaa hmuh.

And the Lord God, having seen that the wicked actions of men were multiplied upon the earth, and that every one in his heart was intently brooding over evil continually,

6 Te dongah BOEIPA loh diklai hmankah hlanga saii te hal coeng tih a lungbuei te tlo.

then God laid it to heart that he had made man upon the earth, and he pondered [it] deeply.

7 Te dongah BOEIPA loh, “Ka suen hlang te diklai hman lamkah ka khoe pawn ni. Hlang khaw, rhamsa khaw, rhulcai khaw, vaan kah vaa khaw amih ka saii dongah te ka hal coeng,” a ti.

And God said, I will blot out man whom I have made from the face of the earth, even man with cattle, and reptiles with flying creatures of the sky, for I am grieved that I have made them.

8 Tedae Noah tah BOEIPA mik ah mikdaithen la om.

But Noe found grace before the Lord God.

9 Hekah he tah Noah kah rhuirhong ni. Noah he amah kah thawnpuei khuiah hlang duengneha cuemthuek la om. Pathen nen khaw Noah tah pongpa hmaih.

And these [are] the generations of Noe. Noe was a just man; being perfect in his generation, Noe was well-pleasing to God.

10 Noah loh capa pathum Shem, Ham neh Japheth tea sak.

And Noe begot three sons, Sem, Cham, Japheth.

11 Te vaengah diklai te Pathen mikhmuh ah poci tih diklai te kuthlahnahloh a khulae.

But the earth was corrupted before God, and the earth was filled with iniquity.

12 Te dongah Pathenloh a sawt vaengah diklai hmanah pumsa boeih tah a longpuei te poci tih diklai khaw poci coeng ne.

And the Lord God saw the earth, and it was corrupted; because all flesh had corrupted its way upon the earth.

13 Te dongah Pathen loh Noah taengah, “Pumsa boeih kah a bawtnah tah ka mikhmuh ah pai coeng. Amih mikhmuh lamkah kuthlahnahte diklai hah. Te dongah ni diklai neh amihte ka phae ne.

And the Lord God said to Noe, A period of all men is come before me; because the earth has been filled with iniquity by them, and, behold, I destroy them and the earth.

14 Namah ham gopher thing neh lawngte saii lamtah lawng tea bu saii pah. Te phoeiah a khui ah khaw, poeng ah khaw aang neh hnil.

Make therefore for yourself an ark of square timber; you shall make the ark in compartments, and you shall pitch it within and without with pitch.

15 Tekah lawng te metlamna saii eh tikoinih, lawng kah a yun te dong ya thum, a daang dong sawmnga, a sang dong thukip lo ni.

And thus shall you make the ark; three hundred cubits the length of the ark, and fifty cubits the breadth, and thirty cubits the height of it.

16 Lawng te imphuna saii vetih tlungyun te tah dong khat cup sak. Te phoeiah lawng kah a kaep ah thohka khueh lamtah a cuek, pabae neh pathum la saii.

You shall narrow the ark in making it, and in a cubit above you shall finish it, and the door of the ark you shall make on the side; with lower, second, and third stories you shall make it.

17 Kai khaw kamah loh pumsa boeihte phae hamla diklai ah tuilii tui kang khuen coeng ne. A khuiah vaan hmui lamkah hingnah mueihla khaw, diklai dongkaha cungkuem he pal ni.

And behold I bring a flood of water upon the earth, to destroy all flesh in which is the breath of life under heaven, and whatever things are upon the earth shall die.

18 Tedae nang taengah kai kah paipi te ka thoh vetih nang khaw, na carhoek khaw, na yuu khaw, na langa rhoek khaw, namah neh lawng khuilana khuen ni.

And I will establish my covenant with you, and you shall enter into the ark, and your sons and your wife, and your sons' wives with you.

19 Te vaengah mulhing boeih lamkah khaw, pumsa boeih lamkah khaw a hluei neha la te panitah khueh lamtah namah taengah hing sak ham lawng te boeih paan puei.

And of all cattle and of all reptiles and of all wild beasts, even of all flesh, you shall bring by pairs of all, into the ark, that you may feed them with yourself: male and female they shall be.

20 Vaa te khaw amah hui la, rhamsa lamkah khaw amah hui la, diklai ah rhulcai boeih lamkah amah hui la, boeih khuikah panit tah hlun ham nang taengah ham paan saeh.

Of all winged birds after their kind, and of all cattle after their kind, and of all reptiles creeping upon the earth after their kind, pairs of all shall come in to you, male and female to be fed with you.

21 Te phoeiah na caak ham buh boeihte namah taengah khuen lamtah namah ham tung. Namah ham neh amih ham cakok la om saeh,” a ti nah.

And you shall take to yourself of all kinds of food which you eat, and you shall gather them to yourself, and it shall be for you and them to eat.

22 Te dongah Noahloh a saiitih Pathen loh aniha uen boeih tea saii van.

And Noe did all things whatever the Lord God commanded him, so did he.

The World is Destroyed by Water
