1 Hottelah Cathut ni Noah hoi a canaw yawhawinae a poe teh, ahnimouh koe, ca moi khe awh, pungdaw awh nateh, talai van kawi awh.
God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them, "Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the earth.
2 Talai van moithang, saring phunkuep, kalvan e tava phunkuep, talai van a von hoi kâva e pueng, hoi tui thung e tanga pueng ni nangmouh na taki vaiteh a pâyaw awh han. Hote moithang pueng teh nangmae kut dawk na poe.
And the fear of you and the dread of you will be on every wild animal of the earth, and on every tame animal of the earth, and on every flying creature of the sky, and on everything that crawls on the ground, and on all the fish of the sea; into your power they are given.
3 Kahring ni teh kâroe e pueng nangmouh han rawca lah ao han. Hnopai pueng, anhla kahring pueng totouh na poe awh han.
Every moving thing that lives will be food for you. As I gave the green plants, I now give you everything.
4 Hottelah a moi hah a hringnae a thi hoi hmai na cat awh mahoeh.
But flesh with its life, its blood, you shall not eat.
5 Hahoi, nangmae hringnae thi phu teh ka hei han. Tami saring pueng koe ka hei han. Tami tangkuem e hmaunawnghanaw koe, tami e hringnae phu teh ka hei roeroe han.
And surely I will require a reckoning for your lifeblood; from every animal I will require it, and from humans. From every human being I will require it for the life of his fellow human being.
6 Apipatethai tami e thi ka palawng e tami teh tami ni thi palawng lah ao van han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, tami teh Cathut ni amae meikalat lah a sak e doeh.
Whoever takes a human life, by a human will his life be taken, for God made humankind in his own image.
7 Hateiteh, nangmouh teh ca khe awh nateh pungdaw awh. Talai van vah canaw moi khe awh nateh pungdaw awh telah atipouh.
And as for you, be fruitful and multiply, and increase abundantly on the earth, and subdue it."

God spoke to Noah and to his sons with him, saying,
9 Nangmouh hoi thoseh, nangmae catoun hoi thoseh,
"And as for me, look, I establish my covenant with you, and with your offspring after you,
10 Nangmouh koe kaawm e kahring e moithang pueng, tava pueng, saring pueng, long thung hoi tâcokhai e saring pueng koe lawkkam ka caksak han.
and with every living creature that is with you: the flying creatures, and the tame animals, and every wild animal of the earth with you, of all that go out of the ship.
11 Nangmouh koe lawkkam ka caksak e teh, tuikamuem lahoi nâtuek hai moithang pueng ka raphoe mahoeh toe. Talai teh tui hoi ka raphoe mahoeh toe telah ati.
I will establish my covenant with you; and all flesh will never again be cut off by the waters of the flood, neither will there ever again be a flood to destroy the earth."
12 Cathut ni kai hoi nang rahak, nang koe kaawm e kâroe ni teh kahring e pueng hoi na catounnaw rahak vah ka sak e lawkkam mitnoutnae doeh.
God said, "This is the sign of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations:
13 Kaie salumpa hah tâmai dawk ka hruek vaiteh, kai hoi talai rahak lawkkam mitnoutnae lah ao han.
I set my rainbow in the cloud, and it will be a sign of the covenant between me and the earth.
14 Kai ni tâmai ka tabo sak navah, tâmai dawk salumpa a kamnue han.
It will happen, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the rainbow will be seen in the cloud,
15 Kai hoi nang rahak, kahring ni teh kâroe e pueng koe, ka lawkkam e pou ka pouk vaiteh, saring moithang pueng tuikamuem hoi ka raphoe mahoeh toe.
and I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh, and the waters will no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.
16 Tâmai dawk salumpa a paham e ka khet vaiteh, Cathut hoi talai van kaawm e kahring e saring moithang pueng rahak vah, yungyoe e lawkkam ka pouk han.
The rainbow will be in the cloud. I will look at it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between me and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth."

Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it on both their shoulders, went in backwards, and covered the nakedness of their father. Their faces were turned the other way, and they did not see their father's nakedness.
24 Noah ni misur parui e a thangcuem torei teh a capa cahnoung e ni a sak e a panue.
Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his youngest son had done to him.
