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.
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 Leinoi lam a twi ho jong along kang tan, chule chunglam a van'a kona go nasa tah a ju jong athip tan ahi.
The fountains of the deep and the windows of heaven were closed, and it stopped raining.
3 Hichun twisanglen chu leiset chunga kon in ni jakhat le ni som nga jouvin akang hei hoitan ahi.
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 Hiti chun ni somle ni sagi lhinni lha sagi chan na chun kong chu Ararat molchunga ahung kinga tai.
The ark came to rest in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon 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 continued to go down until the tenth month. On the first day of the month, the tops of the mountains appeared.
6 Chujouvin ni somli jou chun Noah in huikot kong sunga asem chu ahin hong doh tan,
It came about after forty days that Noah opened the window of the ark 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.
He sent out a raven and it flew back and forth until the waters were 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 out a dove to see if the waters had gone down from the surface of the earth,
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 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 Chuin ni sagi akho ngaiyin, chujouvin kong'a kon chun vakhu chu alha doh kit'a ahile,
He waited another seven days and again he sent out the dove from the ark.
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 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 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 waited another seven days, and sent out the dove again. She did not return again to him.
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.
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 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 said to Noah,
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 ark, you, your wife, 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.
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 Hichun Noah ahin, ajinu ahin, achapate ho ahin amoute toh konga kon chun ahung potdoh tai.
So Noah went out 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.
Every living creature, every creeping thing, and every bird, everything that moves on the earth, according to their families, left the ark.
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 Yahweh. He took some of the clean animals and some of the clean birds, 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.
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 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, cold and heat, summer and winter, and day and night will not cease.”
