< Genesis 8 >

1 But God remembered Noah and all the animals and livestock that were with him in the ark. And God sent a wind over the earth, and the waters began to subside.
Tedae Pathen loh Noah khaw, mulhing boeih khaw, amah neh lawng khuikah aka om hmaih rhamsa boeih khawa ngaidam. Te dongah Pathen loh diklai ah khohlia tueih tih tui khaw hnop uh.
2 The springs of the deep and the floodgates of the heavens were closed, and the rain from the sky was restrained.
Te phoeiah tuisih laedil neh vaan bangbueta biing tih vaan lamkah khonal tea paa sak.
3 The waters receded steadily from the earth, and after 150 days the waters had gone down.
Diklai hman kah tui te khaw rhaeng. Tui te tla tih, rhaeng tih, khohnin ya sawmngaa boeih vaengah kak.
4 On the seventeenth day of the seventh month, the ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat.
Te phoeikaha hla rhih hla hnin hlai rhih vaengah lawng te Ararat tlang ah duem.
5 And the waters continued to recede until the tenth month, and on the first day of the tenth month the tops of the mountains became visible.
Tui aka omrhoek te khaw hla rha khuiah voehvoeh kak tiha hla rha vaengkah lamhmacuek khohnin ah tlang somrhoek te tueng.
6 After forty days Noah opened the window he had made in the ark
Te phoeiah omtih hnin likipa boeih vaengah Noah loh lawng kah bangbueta saii tea ong.
7 and sent out a raven. It kept flying back and forth until the waters had dried up from the earth.
Te phoeiah vangak tea tueih hatah diklai ah tuia haang due dong, cet tih voei bal.
8 Then Noah sent out a dove to see if the waters had receded from the surface of the ground.
Te phoeiah diklai hman kah tui kak te aka so ham amah taengkah vahui tea tueih.
9 But the dove found no place to rest her foot, and she returned to him in the ark, because the waters were still covering the surface of all the earth. So he reached out his hand and brought her back inside the ark.
Tedae diklai hman boeih te tuiloh a khuk dongah vahui kho kah a khopha ham ngolbuel hmu pawt tih Noah taengah lawng khuila bal. Te vaengah a kuta yueng pah tih vahu te a loh phoeiah lawng khuilaa khuen.
10 Noah waited seven more days and again sent out the dove from the ark.
Te phoeiah hnin rhih koepa rhing tih lawngkhui lamkah vahui te koepa tueih.
11 And behold, the dove returned to him in the evening with a freshly plucked olive leaf in her beak. So Noah knew that the waters had receded from the earth.
Hlaem vaengah vahui te amah taengla ham paan hatah a hmui dongah olive hnah thingsuep pueng ne. Te dongah diklai kah tui kak coeng tila Noahloh a ming.
12 And Noah waited seven more days and sent out the dove again, but this time she did not return to him.
Te phoeiah hnin rhiha rhing bal tih vahui tea tueih dae anih taengla koep bal voel pawh.
13 In Noah’s six hundred and first year, on the first day of the first month, the waters had dried up from the earth. So Noah removed the covering from the ark and saw that the surface of the ground was dry.
Kum ya rhuk neh kum khat, hla lamhmacuek, lamhmacuek khohnin ah diklai hmankah tui te kak. Te dongah Noah loh lawng kah imphu tea khoe tiha sawt vaengah diklai hmante phueihuetlaa hmuh.
14 By the twenty-seventh day of the second month, the earth was fully dry.
Te dongaha hla bae hnin kul neh hnin rhih nen tah diklai phuei coeng.
15 Then God said to Noah,
Te phoeiah Pathen loh Noah tea voek tih,
16 “Come out of the ark, you and your wife, along with your sons and their wives.
“Namah khaw, na yuu khaw, na carhoek khaw, namah taengkah na langa rhoek khaw, lawngkhui lamkah halo laeh.
17 Bring out all the living creatures that are with you—birds, livestock, and everything that crawls upon the ground—so that they can spread out over the earth and be fruitful and multiply upon it.”
Pumsa boeih khuiah namah taengkah aka om mulhing boeih neh vaa boeih khaw, rhamsa neh diklai ah rhuicai aka yuel boeih khaw diklai ah luem tiha pungtai vaengah diklai ah ping sak ham namah taengah khuen rhoe khuen,” a ti nah.
18 So Noah came out, along with his sons and his wife and his sons’ wives.
Te dongah Noah neh a carhoek khaw, a yuu neh a langa rhoek khaw, hmaih halo uh.
19 Every living creature, every creeping thing, and every bird—everything that moves upon the earth—came out of the ark, kind by kind.
mulhing boeih neh rhulcai boeih khaw, vaa boeih neh diklai ah aka colh boeih lawng dong lamloh amah huiko neh pawk uh.
20 Then Noah built an altar to the LORD. And taking from every kind of clean animal and clean bird, he offered burnt offerings on the altar.
Te phoeiah Noah loh BOEIPA taengah hmueihtuka suem. Rhamsa boeih khuikah aka caih neh vaa boeih khuikah aka caih tea loh tih hmueihtuk dongah hmueihhlutnahlaa nawn.
21 When the LORD smelled the pleasing aroma, He said in His heart, “Never again will I curse the ground because of man, even though every inclination of his heart is evil from his youth. And never again will I destroy all living creatures as I have done.
BOEIPAloh a hmuehmuei tea huep vaengaha botui. Te dongah BOEIPA loh a lungbuei ah, “Hlang kah lungbuei benbonah he a camoe lamkah thae cakhaw hlang kong ah diklai te thaephoei thil ham ka khoep voel mahpawh. Te dongah mulhing boeih ka saii vanbangla ngawn ham ka khoep voel mahpawh.
22 As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night shall never cease.”
Diklaia tue boeihaom khuiah cangti tue neh cangah tue khaw, khosik neh khobae khaw, khohal neh sikca khaw, khoyin neh khothaih khaw paa uh mahpawh,” a ti.
