Kamtawngnae 8

1 Hateiteh, Cathut ni Noah hoi cungtalah long thung kaawm e kahring e pueng hoi saring pueng teh pahnim hoeh. Hahoi Cathut ni kahlî a tho sak teh tui a kum sak.

And God remembered Noah, and all the wild—beasts and all the tame-beasts that were with him in the ark, —and God caused a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters subsided;

2 Ka dungpoung koe e tui kâkhunaw hoi kalvan e hlalangawnaw hai a khan teh khorak e a dep sak.

and the fountains of the roaring-deep were shut, and the windows of the heavens, —and the heavy rain was restrained from the heavens;

3 Talai van e tui hah, pout laipalah a kum sak teh, hnin 150 touh aloum hnukkhu tui teh a hak.

and the waters returned from off the earth they went on returning, —and so the waters decreased at the end of a hundred and fifty days.

4 Hottelah long teh thapa yung sarinae hnin 17 nah Ararat mon dawk a kâhat.

And the ark rested, in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, —on the mountains of Ararat.

5 Ahranae thapa totouh tui teh pout laipalah, a kum cathuk. Thapa yung hra, apasuek hnin dawk monsomnaw teh a kamnue.

But, the waters went on decreasing, until the tenth month, —in the tenth [month], on the first of the month, were seen the tops of the mountains.

6 Hahoi, hnin 40 touh abaw hnukkhu, Noah ni long dawk e hlalangaw a sak e a paawng.

And it came to pass at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark that he had made;

7 Vonga buet touh a patoun teh, talai van tui a hak hoehroukrak a voivang lah yuengyoe a kamleng.

and sent forth a raven, —and it kept going forth and returning, until the drying up of the waters from off the earth.

8 Hahoi talai van e tui a hak toung maw tie panue thai nahanlah âbakhu hah ama koehoi a patoun.

And he sent forth a dove from him, —to see whether the waters had abated, from off the face of the ground;

9 Hateiteh âbakhu ni a kâhat nahan a hmu hoeh dawkvah, long thung ama koe bout a ban. Bangkongtetpawiteh, tui teh talai van koung a kamuem rah. Noah ni a kut a dâw teh âbakhu a la hnukkhu, long thung ama koe bout a pakhum.

but the dove found no resting-place for the sole of her foot so she returned unto him into the ark, for, waters, were on the face of all the earth; and he put forth his hand and took her, and brought her in unto him, into the ark.

10 Hnin sari touh bout ao hnukkhu hote âbakhu hah long thung hoi bout a patoun.

Then stayed he yet seven days more, —and, again sent forth the dove out of the ark.

11 Tangmin lah âbakhu teh Noah koe bout a ban teh, a pahni hoi ka hringsuep e Olive hna a thokhai teh, Noah ni talai van tui a hak toe tie a panue.

And the dove came in unto him at eventide, and lo! a newly sprouted olive-leaf, in her mouth, —so Noah knew that the waters had abated from off the earth.

12 Hnin sari touh bout aloum hnukkhu hote âbakhu, bout a patoun teh ama koe bout ban hoeh toe.

And he stayed yet seven days more, —and sent forth the dove, but she returned not again unto him any more.

13 Kum 601, apasueke thapa apasuek hnin navah, talai van e tui pueng teh koung a hak. Hatdawkvah, Noah ni long ramuknae a hawng teh a khet navah talai van remke e hah a hmu.

So it came to pass in the six hundred and first year at the beginning, on the first of the month, that the waters had dried up from off the earth, —and Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked and lo! the face of the ground was dried.

14 Apâhni e thapa, hnin 17 nah, talai teh remphui toe.

And in the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, was the earth dry.

15 Hottelah Cathut ni Noah koevah,

So then, God spake to Noah, saying:

16 Nama hoi na yu, na capanaw hoi na langanaw, long thung hoi tâcawt awh leih.

Come forth out of the ark, —thou and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons’ wives with thee.

17 Nang koe kaawm e moithang, saring pueng, tava pueng, vonpui hoi kâva e pueng, talai van ca a khe vaiteh, pungdaw thai nahanelah, tâcawtkhai leih, telah atipouh.

All the living creatures that are with thee of all flesh among birds, and among beasts, and among all the creeping things that creep on the earth, bring forth with thee, —and they shall swarm in the earth, and be fruitful and multiply, on the earth.

18 Hatdawkvah, Noah teh ama koe kaawm e a capanaw hoi a yu, a capanaw hoi a yunaw hoi a tâco awh.

So Noah came forth, —and his sons and his wife, and his sons’ wives with him:

19 Moithang, saring pueng, a von hoi kâva e pueng, tava phunkuep hoi talai van kâroe e pueng long thung hoi a tâco awh.

All the living creatures, all that move along, and all birds, and all that moveth along over the earth—by their families, came forth out of the ark.

20 Hahoi, Noah ni BAWIPA hanelah khoungroe a sak teh, khoungroe dawk hmaisawi thuengnae a sak.

And Noah builded an altar to Yahweh, —and took of all the clean beasts and of all the clean birds, and caused ascending Sacrifices to go up on the altar.

21 BAWIPA ni hai hmuitui hmui a thai teh, kai ni taminaw hanelah, talai teh thoe bout ka bo mahoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, taminaw teh a nawca hoi lungthin pouknae a mathoe. Kai ni atu ka sak e patetlah kahring e pueng ka raphoe mahoeh toe.

And Yahweh smelled a satisfying odour, so Yahweh said to himself. I will not, again, curse any more the ground for man’s sake, although the device of the heart of man, be wicked from his youth, —neither will I again, any more smite every living thing, as I have done.

22 Talai tueng ao nathung, cati patuenae tueng hoi anae tueng, pâdingnae hoi abetnae, kompawi tue hoi kasik tue, khodai karum nâtuek hai ka pout sak mahoeh telah ati.

During all the days of the earth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat and summer and winter, and day and night, shall not cease.
