Suencuek 9
1 Te vaengah Pathen loh Noah neh a carhoek te yoethen a paek tih amih taengah, “Pungtai uh lamtahna ping uh vaengah diklai te khulae uh.
Then God blessed Noah and his sons, saying to them, “I want you to have many children who will live all over the earth.
2 Nangmih kah rhimomnah neh na paepnah tah diklai mulhing boeih so neh vaan kah vaa boeih soah, diklai ah aka colh boeih soah, tuitunli kah nga boeih soah om ni. Nangmih kut ah kam paek coeng.
All the wild animals on the earth and all the birds, all the creatures that scurry across the ground, and all the fish, will be very afraid [DOU] of you. I have put them under your control.
3 A cungkuem he nangmih taengah kan paek tih mulhing rhulcai boeih khaw baelhing hingsuep bangla nangmih ham cakok la om ni.
Just as I previously said you could eat green plants for food, now I am saying you can eat everything that lives and moves.
4 Tedae maeh kah a hinglu a thii tena ca uh mahpawh.
[It is blood that causes creatures to be alive], therefore you must not eat meat that still has blood in it after the animal is killed. [After you have drained the blood out, you may cook it and eat it].
5 Te phoeiah nangmih kah hinglu ham nangmih kah thii te hmantang la ka suk ni. Mulhing boeih kah kut lamkah khaw ka suk vetih Hlang kut lamkah khaw, a manuca kut lamkah khaw, hlang kah hinglu te ka suk ni.
I insist that murderers must be executed. Animals that kill people must also be executed. The reason that everyone who murders someone else must be executed is that
6 Hlang he Pathen kah muei la a saii dongah hlang kah thii aka long sak hlang tetah amah thii long van ni.
I made people to be like myself [in many ways]. So someone who murders another human being must be executed by others, [because he killed someone who is like me].
7 Tedae nangmih tah pungtai uh lamtah ping uh. Diklai hmanah luem uh lamtah ping uh.
As for you, I want you to produce many children, in order that they and their descendants may live all over the earth.”
8 Te phoeiah Pathen loh Noah neh amah taengkah a carhoek te a voek.
God also said to Noah and his sons,
9 Te vaengah, “Kamah loh ka paipi he, nang taeng neh nang phoeikah na tiingan taengah,
“Listen carefully. I am now making a solemn promise to you and with your descendants,
10 nang taengkah aka hing hinglu boeih taengah, vaa taengah, rhamsa taengah khaw, diklai mulhing boeih taengah khaw, nangmih taeng neh lawng khui lamkah aka lo boeih taengah khaw, diklai mulhing boeih taengah khaw, ka cak sak coeng ne.
and with all the living creatures that are with you—including the birds, the livestock, and the wild animals—every living creature on the earth that came out of the boat with you.
11 Nangmih taengah ka paipi te ka ling coeng dongah pumsa boeih te tuilii tui neh koep ka huih voel mahpawh. Diklai he phae ham tuilii khaw koep om voel mahpawh he,” a ti.
This is the promise that I am making to you: I will never again destroy all living creatures by a flood, or destroy everything else on the earth by a flood.”
12 Te phoeiah Pathen loh, “Kai loh kamah laklo neh nang laklo ah, khaw aka hing hinglu boeih laklo neh kumhal ham nangmih kah thawnpuei taengah ka paek paipi kah miknoek tah he ni.
Then God said to him, “This is the sign to guarantee that I will keep the promise that I am making to you and to all living creatures, a promise that I will keep forever:
13 Kai kah pampacung te cingmai dongah ka khueh vetih kai laklo neh diklai lakloah paipi kah miknoek la om ni.
[From time to time] I will put a rainbow in the sky. It will remind me of my promise that I have made to you and everything on the earth.
14 Diklai hmanah cingmai ka om sak vaengah pampacung te khaw cingmai dongah tueng ni.
When I cause rain to fall from the clouds, and a rainbow appears in the sky,
15 Te vaengah pumsa boeih phae ham tuilii tui koep halo voel boel saeh tila kai laklo neh nangmih lakloah khaw, aka hing hinglu boeih neh pumsa boeih taengah ka khueh ka paipi te ka poek ni.
it will remind me about the promise that I have made to you and all living creatures, my promise that there will never again be a flood that will destroy all living creatures.
16 Cingmai dongah pampacung te a om vaengah ka sawt vetih Pathen laklo neh diklai hmankah aka hing hinglu boeih, pumsa boeih neh ka khueh dungyan paipi te ka poek ni.
Whenever there is a rainbow in the sky, I will see it, and I will think about the promise that I have made to every living creature that is upon the earth, a promise that I will keep forever.”
17 Te dongah Pathen loh Noah taengah, “Hekah he tah kai laklo neh diklai hmanah pumsa boeih laklo ah ka ling paipi kah miknoek ni,” a ti nah.
Then God said to Noah, “The rainbow will be the sign of the promise that I have made to all the creatures that live on the earth.”
18 Lawngkhui lamkah halouhvaengah Noah carhoek Shem, Ham, Japheth, om uh tih Ham tah Kanaan kah a napa la om.
The sons of Noah who came out of the boat were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Ham later became the father of Canaan.
19 Amih pathum tah Noah kah a carhoek tih amih lamkah ni diklai pum ah a hae uh.
All the people on the earth are descended from those three sons of Noah.
20 Te vaengah Noahte lo tawn hlang la om tih misur a tue.
Noah was a farmer. He planted grapevines.
21 Te dongah misurtui te a ok tih a rhuihmil dongah a dap khui ah rha uh.
[When they later produced grapes, he made wine from the grapes]. One day, when he drank too much of the wine, he became drunk, and he lay naked in his tent.
22 Kanaan napa Hamloha napa kah a yah te a hmuh vaengah kawtpoeng kah a maya rhoi taengah puen.
Ham, the father of Canaan, saw his father lying naked in the tent. So he went outside and told his two older brothers what he had seen.
23 Tedae Shem neh Japheth long tah himbai te a loh rhoi tih amamih rhoi kah a nam ah a khueh rhoi. Te phoeiah a hnuk long caehnawt rhoi tih a napa kah a yah te a khuk pah rhoi. Tedae a hmai khoep a hoi rhoi dongah a napa kah a yahte hmu rhoi pawh.
Then Shem and Japheth took a large cloth and placed it across their backs, and walked backwards into the tent. They covered their father’s naked body with the cloth. Their faces were turned away from their father, so they did not see him naked.
24 Noah te misurtui a lamloh a haenghang vaengah a capa a noi loh anih soah a saii te a ming.
When Noah woke up [and was sober again], he found out how wrongfully Ham, his youngest son, had behaved toward him.
25 Te dongah Kanaan taengah thae a phoei tih, “A maya rhoi taengah sal rhoek khuikah sal la om saeh,” a ti nah.
He said, “I am cursing Ham’s youngest son, Canaan, and his descendants. They will be like slaves to their uncles.
26 Te phoeiah, “Shem kah BOEIPA Pathen te a yoethen saeh lamtah anih ham sal la Kanaan om saeh.
I will ask God to enlarge the territory that belongs to Japheth, and allow his descendants to live peacefully among the descendants of Shem [MTY].
27 Pathen loh Japhethte yoek saeh lamtah Shem kah dap khuiah rhaehrhong saeh. Kanaan tah anih ham sal la om saeh.
And I desire that Canaan’s descendants will be like slaves of Japheth’s descendants.”
28 Tuilii phoei lamkah Noah te kum ya thum neh kum sawmnga hing coeng.
Noah lived 350 more years after the flood.
29 Te dongah Noah kah khohnin he a pum la kum ya ko neh kum sawmnga a lo phoeiah duek.
He died when he was 950 years old.
