Semtilbu 8
1 Hinlah Pathen in Noah le gamsa hole gancha ho kong sunga umjouse ageldoh jingin, Leiset chunga huipi hattah ahin nun sahin ahile twisanglen chu ahung kem lheh tai.
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 Leinoi lam a twi ho jong along kang tan, chule chunglam a van'a kona go nasa tah a ju jong athip tan ahi.
And the fountains of the deep and the floodgates of the sky were closed, and the rain from the sky was restrained.
3 Hichun twisanglen chu leiset chunga kon in ni jakhat le ni som nga jouvin akang hei hoitan ahi.
And the waters receded steadily from the land. And after the end of one hundred fifty days the waters had decreased significantly.
4 Hiti chun ni somle ni sagi lhinni lha sagi chan na chun kong chu Ararat molchunga ahung kinga tai.
And in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, the ship came to rest on the mountains of Ararat.
5 Lhani le akeh jouvin twi chu ahung kemtul tul'in mol dang dang ho jong molvum ahung kimu pantan ahi.
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 Chujouvin ni somli jou chun Noah in huikot kong sunga asem chu ahin hong doh tan,
It happened at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ship which he had made,
7 Hichun vavom khat alha doh in ahile, leiset chung adung avaiyin aleng len, leiset chunga twi akan loulai jeh'in ahung kinungle kit tai.
and he sent forth a raven. It went back and forth, until the waters had dried up from the earth.
8 Chuin Noah in jong leiset chunga twi kang soh tam ti vetna dingin vakhu khat alendoh sah kit'in ahi.
Then he sent forth a dove from it, to see if the waters had abated from the surface of the ground,
9 Hinlah vakhu chu kingah na ding mun amu hihlaiye, Ajeh chu twijin leiset achup nahlai jeh in ahung ki nungle kitin, hichun Noah in vakhu chu akhut a adomlhan asung langa akoi lha kit tai.
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 Chuin ni sagi akho ngaiyin, chujouvin kong'a kon chun vakhu chu alha doh kit'a ahile,
And he waited yet another seven days; and again he sent forth the dove out of the ship.
11 Vakhu chu nilhah lang in ama henglam'a ahung kile kit'in, vetau amuh achun athah beh a kiloulha Olive thingna khat ahin pon, hijeh chun Noah in jong leiset chunga twipi akangsoh tai, ti ahedoh pai jin ahi.
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 Chujouvin Noah jong ni sagi ma akho ngai kit'in vakhu chu alha doh kit'in ahile vakhu chu ahung kinung le kit tapoi.
He stayed yet another seven days, and sent forth the dove; and she did not return to him any more.
13 Noah hinkho chu kum jagup le kum khatna lha masapen, chu che lha ni masapen ni chun leiset chunga twipi abonchan akang soh heltan, hijeh chun Noah'in jong kong kusin chu ahoh lhan agahven ahile leiset chung chu ana go heltan ahi.
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 Hiti chun lhani jou don chun leiset chung hoitah in ago hel tai.
In the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was dry.
15 Hichun Pathen in ahoulimpin hitin ati,
God spoke to Noah, saying,
16 “Na boncha uvin kong sunga kon chun pot doh tauvin, nangma nahin, na jinu ahin, na chapate ahiuvin, chule na moute ahi uvin kilhon doh pin.
"Go out of the ship, you, and your wife, and your sons, and your sons' wives with you.
17 Tahsa a hing ganhing jouse, naum khompi ho vachate ahi uvin, gancha ho ahi uvin, leiset chunga a op'a kitholtho ho ahiuvin, hiche ho chu leiset letthe thua ahung chikhai uva, ahung hinphat uva chule ahung punjalna ding uvin hinpui doh tan,” ati.
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 Hichun Noah ahin, ajinu ahin, achapate ho ahin amoute toh konga kon chun ahung potdoh tai.
And Noah went forth, with his sons, his wife, and his sons' wives with him.
19 Chuin gancha jouse alen aneo abonchauvin vacha ho ahiuvin ni ni in akop kop in anu khat le achal khat konga konin ahung potdoh'un ahi.
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 Hichun Noah in maicham Pathen henga asemin, hi achun aman kipeh dohna maicham pumgo thilto saho chule vacha ho amaho akipeh doh na dung jui cheh in pumgo thilto ding in agou vam in ahi.
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 Chuin anam tui maicham ahung kisem jeh chun Pathen alung lhai lheh jengin hitin ama aki houlim in aseiye, “Mihem jeh in keiman leiset hi gaosap kit tapong'e, ajeh chu mihem lung ngaito him him hi aneocha kipat'a hung gilou pan ahi tai; chule ganhing ka semsa ho jong hi sumang kit tapong'e.
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 Iti nama jongle leiset aum laisen muchi tuphat, chang aat phat, gam dap phat, gamsat phat, nipi lai le phalbi lai, sun laile jan beilou ding ahi,” ati.
While the earth remains, seed time and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease."
