Genesis 6
1 People started to increase in number and spread out across the earth. Daughters were born to them,
Te vaengkah hlang loh diklai hman ah pungtai pahoi tih amamih ham canua cun uh hatah,
2 and the sons of God saw that these women were beautiful, and they took whichever ones they wanted.
Pathen capa rhoek loh hlang canurhoek te then tilaa hmuh uh. Te dongah amih te amamih yuu la boeiha coelh tih a loh uh.
3 Then the Lord said, “My life-giving Spirit will not remain in these people forever, because they are only mortal. The time they have left will be 120 years.”
Te dongah BOEIPA loh, “Hlang ngawn tah pumsa la om tih kai kah mueihla loh hlang taengah kumhal ah ka naep eh a ti pawt dongah hlang kah khohnin he kum ya neh kum kul mah om saeh,” a ti.
4 There were giants on earth in those days, and also later on. They were born after the sons of God slept with the daughters of these people. Their sons became the great warriors and famous men of ancient times.
Te vaeng tue ah Nephilim rhoek tah diklai ah om uh. A hnukah khaw Pathen capa rhoek te hlang canurhoek taengah kun uh tih amih ham ca a cun pauh. Amihte khosuen kah hlangrhalh la ming aka om hlang rhoek ni.
5 The Lord saw how terribly evil people on earth had become—every single thought in their minds was evil all the time!
BOEIPA loh diklai hmanah hlang kah boethae he yet tih a lungbuei kopoek neh benbonah loh boeih khaw hnin takuema thae bueng ni tilaa hmuh.
6 The Lord was sorry he'd made human beings to live on the earth; it made him very sad to think about it.
Te dongah BOEIPA loh diklai hmankah hlanga saii te hal coeng tih a lungbuei te tlo.
7 So the Lord said, “I'm going to wipe out these people I created from the earth, and not only them but also the animals, the creatures that run along the ground, and the birds, because I'm sorry I made them.”
Te dongah BOEIPA loh, “Ka suen hlang te diklai hman lamkah ka khoe pawn ni. Hlang khaw, rhamsa khaw, rhulcai khaw, vaan kah vaa khaw amih ka saii dongah te ka hal coeng,” a ti.
8 But the Lord was pleased with Noah.
Tedae Noah tah BOEIPA mik ah mikdaithen la om.
9 This is the story of Noah and his family. Noah was a man of integrity, living a moral life among the people of his time. He had a close relationship with God.
Hekah he tah Noah kah rhuirhong ni. Noah he amah kah thawnpuei khuiah hlang duengneha cuemthuek la om. Pathen nen khaw Noah tah pongpa hmaih.
10 Noah had three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
Noah loh capa pathum Shem, Ham neh Japheth tea sak.
11 God saw how corrupt the whole world had become, full of violent and lawless people.
Te vaengah diklai te Pathen mikhmuh ah poci tih diklai te kuthlahnahloh a khulae.
12 God recognized that the corruption in the world was due to everyone on earth living corrupt lives.
Te dongah Pathenloh a sawt vaengah diklai hmanah pumsa boeih tah a longpuei te poci tih diklai khaw poci coeng ne.
13 So God told Noah, “I have decided to put an end to all people on earth because they are all violent and lawless. I myself am going to destroy all of them, along with the earth.
Te dongah Pathen loh Noah taengah, “Pumsa boeih kah a bawtnah tah ka mikhmuh ah pai coeng. Amih mikhmuh lamkah kuthlahnahte diklai hah. Te dongah ni diklai neh amihte ka phae ne.
14 Build an ark out of cypress wood. Make rooms inside the ark, and coat it with tar, both inside and out.
Namah ham gopher thing neh lawngte saii lamtah lawng tea bu saii pah. Te phoeiah a khui ah khaw, poeng ah khaw aang neh hnil.
15 This is how to build it: the ark is to measure 300 cubits long, 50 cubits wide, and 30 cubits high.
Tekah lawng te metlamna saii eh tikoinih, lawng kah a yun te dong ya thum, a daang dong sawmnga, a sang dong thukip lo ni.
16 Make a roof for the ark, leaving a cubit-wide opening between the roof and the top of the sides. Put a door in the side of the ark, and construct three decks inside.
Lawng te imphuna saii vetih tlungyun te tah dong khat cup sak. Te phoeiah lawng kah a kaep ah thohka khueh lamtah a cuek, pabae neh pathum la saii.
17 I myself am going to flood the earth with water that will destroy everything that breathes, Every living thing everywhere on earth will die.
Kai khaw kamah loh pumsa boeihte phae hamla diklai ah tuilii tui kang khuen coeng ne. A khuiah vaan hmui lamkah hingnah mueihla khaw, diklai dongkaha cungkuem he pal ni.
18 But I will keep my agreement with you. You are to go into the ark, taking with you your wife and your sons and their wives.
Tedae nang taengah kai kah paipi te ka thoh vetih nang khaw, na carhoek khaw, na yuu khaw, na langa rhoek khaw, namah neh lawng khuilana khuen ni.
19 Take a pair, male and female, of every kind of animal into the ark and make sure you keep them alive.
Te vaengah mulhing boeih lamkah khaw, pumsa boeih lamkah khaw a hluei neha la te panitah khueh lamtah namah taengah hing sak ham lawng te boeih paan puei.
20 The same applies to every kind of bird, livestock, and the creatures that run along the ground—a pair of every kind will come to you so they can be kept alive.
Vaa te khaw amah hui la, rhamsa lamkah khaw amah hui la, diklai ah rhulcai boeih lamkah amah hui la, boeih khuikah panit tah hlun ham nang taengah ham paan saeh.
21 Take all kinds of food with you too. Store it so you and the animals will have enough to eat.”
Te phoeiah na caak ham buh boeihte namah taengah khuen lamtah namah ham tung. Namah ham neh amih ham cakok la om saeh,” a ti nah.
22 Noah did exactly what God ordered him to do.
Te dongah Noahloh a saiitih Pathen loh aniha uen boeih tea saii van.
The World is Destroyed by Water
