Suencuek 8
1 Tedae Pathen loh Noah khaw, mulhing boeih khaw, amah neh lawng khuikah aka om hmaih rhamsa boeih khaw a ngaidam. Te dongah Pathen loh diklai ah khohli a tueih tih tui khaw hnop uh.
God considered Noah, all the wild animals, and all the livestock that were with him in the ark. God made a wind blow over the earth, and the waters started going down.
2 Te phoeiah tuisih laedil neh vaan bangbuet a biing tih vaan lamkah khonal te a paa sak.
The fountains of the deep and the windows of heaven were closed, and it stopped raining.
3 Diklai hman kah tui te khaw rhaeng. Tui te tla tih, rhaeng tih, khohnin ya sawmnga a boeih vaengah kak.
The flood waters went down slowly from the earth, and after the end of a hundred and fifty days the waters had gone down.
4 Te phoeikah a hla rhih hla hnin hlai rhih vaengah lawng te Ararat tlang ah duem.
The ark came to rest in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat.
5 Tui aka om rhoek te khaw hla rha khuiah voehvoeh kak tih a hla rha vaengkah lamhmacuek khohnin ah tlang som rhoek te tueng.
The waters continued to go down until the tenth month. On the first day of the month, the tops of the mountains appeared.
6 Te phoeiah om tih hnin likip a boeih vaengah Noah loh lawng kah bangbuet a saii te a ong.
It came about after forty days that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made.
7 Te phoeiah vangak te a tueih hatah diklai ah tui a haang due dong, cet tih voei bal.
He sent out a raven and it flew back and forth until the waters were dried up from the earth.
8 Te phoeiah diklai hman kah tui kak te aka so ham amah taengkah vahui te a tueih.
Then he sent out a dove to see if the waters had gone down from the surface of the earth,
9 Tedae diklai hman boeih te tui loh a khuk dongah vahui kho kah a khopha ham ngolbuel hmu pawt tih Noah taengah lawng khuila bal. Te vaengah a kut a yueng pah tih vahu te a loh phoeiah lawng khuila a khuen.
but the dove found no place to rest her foot, and she returned to him in the ark, for the waters were still covering the whole earth. He reached out with his hand, and took and brought her into the ark with him.
10 Te phoeiah hnin rhih koep a rhing tih lawng khui lamkah vahui te koep a tueih.
He waited another seven days and again he sent out the dove from the ark.
11 Hlaem vaengah vahui te amah taengla ham paan hatah a hmui dongah olive hnah thingsuep pueng ne. Te dongah diklai kah tui kak coeng tila Noah loh a ming.
The dove returned to him in the evening. Look! In her mouth was a freshly plucked olive leaf. So Noah knew that the waters had gone down from the earth.
12 Te phoeiah hnin rhih a rhing bal tih vahui te a tueih dae anih taengla koep bal voel pawh.
He waited another seven days, and sent out the dove again. She did not return again to him.
13 Kum ya rhuk neh kum khat, hla lamhmacuek, lamhmacuek khohnin ah diklai hmankah tui te kak. Te dongah Noah loh lawng kah imphu te a khoe tih a sawt vaengah diklai hman te phueihuet la a hmuh.
It came about in the six hundred and first year, in the first month, on the first day of the month, that the waters were dried up from off the earth. Noah removed the covering of the ark, looked out, and saw that, behold, the surface of the ground was dry.
14 Te dongah a hla bae hnin kul neh hnin rhih nen tah diklai phuei coeng.
In the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was dry.
15 Te phoeiah Pathen loh Noah te a voek tih,
God said to Noah,
16 “Namah khaw, na yuu khaw, na ca rhoek khaw, namah taengkah na langa rhoek khaw, lawng khui lamkah halo laeh.
“Go out of the ark, you, your wife, your sons, and your sons' wives with you.
17 Pumsa boeih khuiah namah taengkah aka om mulhing boeih neh vaa boeih khaw, rhamsa neh diklai ah rhuicai aka yuel boeih khaw diklai ah luem tih a pungtai vaengah diklai ah ping sak ham namah taengah khuen rhoe khuen,” a ti nah.
Take out with you every living creature of all flesh that is with you—the birds, the animals, and every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth—so that they may grow unto very large numbers of living creatures throughout the earth, be fruitful, and multiply upon the earth.”
18 Te dongah Noah neh a ca rhoek khaw, a yuu neh a langa rhoek khaw, hmaih halo uh.
So Noah went out with his sons, his wife, and his sons' wives with him.
19 mulhing boeih neh rhulcai boeih khaw, vaa boeih neh diklai ah aka colh boeih lawng dong lamloh amah huiko neh pawk uh.
Every living creature, every creeping thing, and every bird, everything that moves on the earth, according to their families, left the ark.
20 Te phoeiah Noah loh BOEIPA taengah hmueihtuk a suem. Rhamsa boeih khuikah aka caih neh vaa boeih khuikah aka caih te a loh tih hmueihtuk dongah hmueihhlutnah la a nawn.
Noah built an altar to Yahweh. He took some of the clean animals and some of the clean birds, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.
21 BOEIPA loh a hmuehmuei te a huep vaengah a botui. Te dongah BOEIPA loh a lungbuei ah, “Hlang kah lungbuei benbonah he a camoe lamkah thae cakhaw hlang kong ah diklai te thaephoei thil ham ka khoep voel mahpawh. Te dongah mulhing boeih ka saii vanbangla ngawn ham ka khoep voel mahpawh.
Yahweh smelled the pleasing aroma and said in his heart, “I will not again curse the ground because of mankind, even though the intentions of their hearts is evil from childhood. Nor will I again destroy everything living, as I have done.
22 Diklai a tue boeih a om khuiah cangti tue neh cangah tue khaw, khosik neh khobae khaw, khohal neh sikca khaw, khoyin neh khothaih khaw paa uh mahpawh,” a ti.
While the earth remains, seed time and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, and day and night will not cease.”
