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.
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 Te phoeiah tuisih laedil neh vaan bangbuet a biing tih vaan lamkah khonal te a paa sak.
And the fountains of the deep and the floodgates of the sky were closed, and the rain from the sky was restrained.
3 Diklai hman kah tui te khaw rhaeng. Tui te tla tih, rhaeng tih, khohnin ya sawmnga a boeih vaengah kak.
And the waters receded steadily from the land. And after the end of one hundred fifty days the waters had decreased significantly.
4 Te phoeikah a hla rhih hla hnin hlai rhih vaengah lawng te Ararat tlang ah duem.
And in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, the ship came to rest on 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 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 Te phoeiah om tih hnin likip a boeih vaengah Noah loh lawng kah bangbuet a saii te a ong.
It happened at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ship which he had made,
7 Te phoeiah vangak te a tueih hatah diklai ah tui a haang due dong, cet tih voei bal.
and he sent forth a raven. It went back and forth, until the waters had 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 forth a dove from it, to see if the waters had abated from the surface of the ground,
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 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 Te phoeiah hnin rhih koep a rhing tih lawng khui lamkah vahui te koep a tueih.
And he waited yet another seven days; and again he sent forth the dove out of the ship.
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 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 Te phoeiah hnin rhih a rhing bal tih vahui te a tueih dae anih taengla koep bal voel pawh.
He stayed yet another seven days, and sent forth the dove; and she did not return to him any more.
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.
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 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 spoke to Noah, saying,
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 ship, you, and your wife, and 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.
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 Te dongah Noah neh a ca rhoek khaw, a yuu neh a langa rhoek khaw, hmaih halo uh.
And Noah went forth, 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.
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 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 God, and took of every clean animal, and of every clean flying creature, 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.
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 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, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease."
