Suencuek 6
1 Te vaengkah hlang loh diklai hman ah pungtai pahoi tih amamih ham canua cun uh hatah,
When men began to multiply on the surface of the ground, 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.
God’s sons saw that men’s daughters were beautiful, and they took any that they wanted for themselves as wives.
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.
Yahweh said, “My Spirit will not strive with man forever, because he also is flesh; so his days will be one hundred 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.
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 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.
Yahweh 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 Te dongah BOEIPA loh diklai hmankah hlanga saii te hal coeng tih a lungbuei te tlo.
Yahweh was sorry that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him in his heart.
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.
Yahweh 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 Tedae Noah tah BOEIPA mik ah mikdaithen la om.
But Noah found favor in Yahweh’s eyes.
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.
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 loh capa pathum Shem, Ham neh Japheth tea sak.
Noah became the father of three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
11 Te vaengah diklai te Pathen mikhmuh ah poci tih diklai te kuthlahnahloh a khulae.
The earth was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.
12 Te dongah Pathenloh a sawt vaengah diklai hmanah pumsa boeih tah a longpuei te poci tih diklai khaw poci coeng ne.
God saw the earth, and saw that it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted their way on 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.
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 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 a ship of gopher wood. You shall make rooms in the ship, and shall seal it inside and outside 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.
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 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 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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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 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 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.
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 Te dongah Noahloh a saiitih Pathen loh aniha uen boeih tea saii van.
Thus Noah did. He did all that God commanded him.
The World is Destroyed by Water
