< Genesis 7 >

1 The Lord told Noah, “Go into the ark with all your family. I have seen how you are a man of integrity, living a moral life among the people of this generation.
Te phoeiah BOEIPA loh Noah taengah, tahae kah thawnpuei khuiah nang he kai hmai ah hlang dueng la kan hmuh coeng dongah namah neh na imkhui boeih loh lawng khui la kun laeh.
2 Take with you seven pairs, male and female, of every kind of clean animal, and one pair, male and female, of every kind of unclean animal.
Aka caih rhamsa boeih lamkah a tal neh a la parhih, parhih neh aka caih mueh rhamsa khuikah te tongpa neh a yal panit ah,
3 In addition take seven pairs, male and female, of all the birds, so their different kinds will survive throughout the earth.
Vaan kah vaa khaw diklai hman boeih ah a tii la hlun ham a hluei neh a la panit, panit ah namah taengla lo.
4 In seven days I'm going to make it rain for forty days and nights. I'm going to wipe out from the surface of the earth all the living creatures I made.”
Tahae lamkah hnin rhih phoeiah tah diklai ah khothaih hnin likip neh khoyin hnin likip te kho ka tlan sak vetih diklai hman kah ka saii mulhing boeih te ka khoe ni,” a ti nah.
5 Noah did exactly what the Lord ordered him to do.
Te dongah BOEIPA loh anih a uen vanbangla a cungkuem te Noah loh a saii.
6 Noah was 600 when the flood waters covered the earth.
Diklai ah tuilii tui halo vaengah Noah tah kum ya rhuk lo.
7 Noah went into the ark, taking with him his wife and his sons and their wives, because of the flood.
Tuilii tui kongah Noah loh a ca rhoek khaw, a yuu khaw, a langa rhoek khaw, amah taengah aka om rhoek khaw, lawng khuila a khuen.
8 Clean and unclean animals, birds, and creatures that run along the ground,
Aka caih rhamsa lamkah khaw, aka caih pawh rhamsa lamkah khaw, vaa khaw, diklai ah aka yuel boeih khaw,
9 went into the ark with Noah. They came in pairs, male and female, just as God had told Noah.
Pathen loh Noah a uen vanbangla a hluei neh a la panit panit loh Noah taengkah lawng te a paan uh.
10 After seven days the floodwaters swept over the earth.
Hnin rhih a om phoeiah tuilii tui te khaw diklai ah halo.
11 Noah was 600 when on the seventeenth day of the second month all the subterranean waters burst through the earth, and heavy rain poured down from the sky.
Noah kah a hingnah te kum ya rhuk kum, a hla bae, hla kah hnin hlai rhih khohnin ah tuisih laedil puei boeih te phuet tih vaan rhoek kah bangbuet khaw ong uh.
12 Rain continue to fall on the earth for forty days and nights.
Te phoeiah khonal te diklai ah khothaih hnin likip neh khoyin hnin likip ah tlan.
13 That was the actual day when Noah, his wife, and their sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth together with their three wives went into the ark.
Amah tekah khohnin van vaengah Noah neh Noah kah a ca rhoek Shem, Ham, Japheth neh Noah yuu neh a langa pathum tah amah neh lawng khuila kun uh.
14 They had with them every kind of wild animals, livestock, creatures that run along the ground, and birds—everything with wings.
Amih neh mulhing boeih khaw amah hui la, rhamsa boeih khaw amah hui la, diklai ah aka yuel rhulcai boeih khaw amah hui la, vaa boeih khaw amah hui la, vathawt boeih neh phae aka khueh boeih khaw,
15 They all came into the ark with Noah in pairs—every living thing that breathes.
pumsa ah hingnah hil aka om boeih khuikah loh a bok bok la Noah taengkah lawng khuila kun uh.
16 A male and a female of every creature entered, as God had told Noah. Then the Lord shut the door behind him.
Te dongah Pathen kah a uen vanbangla pumsa boeih khuikah a hluei neh a la loh ham paan uh tih a kun uh phoeiah BOEIPA loh lawng te a khaih.
17 The flood increased for forty days, lifting the ark so that it floated up from the earth.
Tuilii te khaw diklai ah khohnin likip lo tih tui khaw yet. Te dongah lawng te a phoh hang tih diklai dong lamloh a pom.
18 The floodwaters surged and grew deeper and deeper over the earth, but the ark floated along on the surface.
Tui khaw len khungdaeng tih diklai ah muep a yet dongah lawng te tui hman soah cet.
19 Finally the water grew so deep that even the highest mountains were covered—all that could be seen was sky.
Te phoeiah tui te diklai ah bahoeng len tih vaan hmui boeih kah tlang sang rhoek boeih te a khuk.
20 The water rose so much that it was higher than the mountains by fifteen cubits.
Tui te a so ben la dong hlai nga a sang dongah tlang rhoek te boeih a khuk.
21 Everything living on earth died—the birds, livestock, wild animals, all creatures that run along the ground, and all the people.
Te dongah diklai ah aka yuel saa boeih neh vaa boeih, rhamsa khaw, mulhing khaw, diklai dongkah aka luem rhulcai boeih khaw, hlang khaw boeih pal.
22 Everything on land that breathed, died.
A hnarhong khuiah hingnah mueihla hiil aka khueh boeih te khaw, lanhak ah aka om boeih te khaw duek uh.
23 The Lord wiped out all life on earth—people, livestock, creatures that run along the ground, and birds. All were killed. The only ones left were Noah and those with him on the ark.
Te vaengah diklai hman kah mulhing boeih, hlang lamloh rhamsa due, rhulcai neh vaan kah vaa due, a khoe dongah diklai ah hmata uh. Tedae Noah neh lawng khuiah amah neh aka om rhoek bueng te sueng.
24 The earth remained flooded for 150 days.
Tui te khaw diklai ah khohnin ya neh sawmnga khuiah len.
