And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,

That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they [were] fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.

And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also [is] flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.

There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare [children] to them, the same [became] mighty men which [were] of old, men of renown.

And GOD saw that the wickedness of man [was] great in the earth, and [that] every imagination of the thoughts of his heart [was] only evil continually.
6 Hahoi BAWIPA ni talai van tami a sak e hah a lungmathoe teh a lung caca a pataw.
And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.
7 Hatdawkvah, BAWIPA ni ka sak e tami teh talai dawk hoi ka takhoe han toe. Tami hai, saring hai, vonpui hoi kâvanaw hoi kalvannaw dawk e tavanaw hai, ahnimanaw ka sak e dawk ka lung caca a pataw telah ati.
And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.
