People started to increase in number and spread out across the earth. Daughters were born to them,
2 Chuin Pathen chapate chun numei hoitah ho chu amu uvin ama hon adei thei lheh jeng uvin, hijeh chun adei dei akilhen uvin ajinu ding in akipui tauvin ahi.
and the sons of God saw that these women were beautiful, and they took whichever ones they wanted.
3 Hichun Pathen in aseiye, “Ka lhagao mihem sunga atonsot kumkho in chengden thei deh ponte, ajeh chu ama tahsaphe bou ahin, ahin nikho jong kum jakhat le kum somni bou hiding ahiye,” ati.
Then the Lord said, “My life-giving Spirit will not remain in these people forever, because they are only mortal. The time they have left will be 120 years.”

There were giants on earth in those days, and also later on. They were born after the sons of God slept with the daughters of these people. Their sons became the great warriors and famous men of ancient times.

The Lord saw how terribly evil people on earth had become—every single thought in their minds was evil all the time!
6 Hichun Pakai Pathenin mihem asem'a leiset chung'a aumsah hatah in akisih tai.
The Lord was sorry he'd made human beings to live on the earth; it made him very sad to think about it.
7 Hichun Pathen in aseiye, “Keiman kasem doh mihem hohi leiset chunga kon'a kasuh mang ding ahitai, mihem jouse alen aneo, gancha alen aneo tolgo chunga lamjot thei jouse chule chunglam a leng vachate ahi uvin, ajeh chu hicheng pi kana semdoh hi ka kisih lheh tai,” ati.
So the Lord said, “I'm going to wipe out these people I created from the earth, and not only them but also the animals, the creatures that run along the ground, and the birds, because I'm sorry I made them.”
8 Hinlah Noah chun Pathen lungdei lam in aum jing in ahi.
But the Lord was pleased with Noah.

This is the story of Noah and his family. Noah was a man of integrity, living a moral life among the people of his time. He had a close relationship with God.

God recognized that the corruption in the world was due to everyone on earth living corrupt lives.
13 Hichun Pathen in Noah jah'a aseiyin, “Keiman tua hi hinna neiya avahle thei jouse ka suhmang ding ahi tai. Ajeh chu amaho jeh hin leiset chunga pumhat'a kino na jeng adim tan ahi, vetan kei man abonchauva leiset toh ka suhmang tha ding ahi tauve.
So God told Noah, “I have decided to put an end to all people on earth because they are all violent and lawless. I myself am going to destroy all of them, along with the earth.
14 Nangman Gopher thingin kong innei lentah khat kisem in lang, kong innei sunga chun indan adan adan in khah tanin, chuteng asung le apo twilut na thei lai jouse na huhbing sohkei ding ahi.
Build an ark out of cypress wood. Make rooms inside the ark, and coat it with tar, both inside and out.
15 Hiche kong chu tong jali le somnga sao hiding, chule asan dan chu tong somsagi le nga a sang hiding, chule avai lam chu tong somli le nga a len hiding ahi.
This is how to build it: the ark is to measure 300 cubits long, 50 cubits wide, and 30 cubits high.
16 Kong innei chu bangkot hong inlang achunglam chu khap somle get in sem inlang kong abanga kotpi hong in lang, indan noi nung danni lhinna, chule dan thum lhinna geiya nasem ding ahi.
Make a roof for the ark, leaving a cubit-wide opening between the roof and the top of the sides. Put a door in the side of the ark, and construct three decks inside.

I myself am going to flood the earth with water that will destroy everything that breathes, Every living thing everywhere on earth will die.
18 Hinlah keiman nangma toh kitep na khat nei ing kating, chujou teng le kongsunga nang nahin, na chapate ahi uvin, najinu chule namou tetoh nabon chauva kong sunga lut tauvin,
But I will keep my agreement with you. You are to go into the ark, taking with you your wife and your sons and their wives.
19 Chule tahsa neiya hing gamsa namkim anu khat le apa khat cheh in kongsunga hin puilut un, ajeh chu twisang hatah ahung let teng na hinso jou thei nadiu ahi.
Take a pair, male and female, of every kind of animal into the ark and make sure you keep them alive.

The same applies to every kind of bird, livestock, and the creatures that run along the ground—a pair of every kind will come to you so they can be kept alive.
21 Chule nasuhmil theilou ding chu kong sunga naneh dingu an naneh diu ninglhingset a naki pohlut diu nakikhol khom diu ahi, Ajeh chu hiche an neh dingho chu nangho le gancha hon ding ahi,” ati.

Noah did exactly what God ordered him to do.
