Genesis 8
1 But God hadn't forgotten about Noah and all the wild animals and livestock with him in the ark. God sent a wind to blow over the earth, and the floodwaters started to drop.
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.
2 The subterranean waters were closed off, and the heavy rainfall was stopped.
Ka dungpoung koe e tui kâkhunaw hoi kalvan e hlalangawnaw hai a khan teh khorak e a dep sak.
3 The floodwaters steadily receded from the earth. They had gone down so much that by 150 days after the flood began
Talai van e tui hah, pout laipalah a kum sak teh, hnin 150 touh aloum hnukkhu tui teh a hak.
4 the ark grounded on the mountains of Ararat. This happened on the seventeenth day of the seventh month.
Hottelah long teh thapa yung sarinae hnin 17 nah Ararat mon dawk a kâhat.
5 The waters continued to drop so that by the first day of the tenth month the tops of mountains could be seen.
Ahranae thapa totouh tui teh pout laipalah, a kum cathuk. Thapa yung hra, apasuek hnin dawk monsomnaw teh a kamnue.
6 Forty days later Noah opened the window he'd made in the ark,
Hahoi, hnin 40 touh abaw hnukkhu, Noah ni long dawk e hlalangaw a sak e a paawng.
7 and sent a raven out. It flew back and forth until the water on the earth had dried up.
Vonga buet touh a patoun teh, talai van tui a hak hoehroukrak a voivang lah yuengyoe a kamleng.
8 Then he sent a dove out to see if the waters had gone down enough to expose dry ground.
Hahoi talai van e tui a hak toung maw tie panue thai nahanlah âbakhu hah ama koehoi a patoun.
9 But the dove couldn't find anywhere to land. So it came back to Noah in the ark because water was still covering the whole earth. He reached out his hand, picked up the dove, and took it back into the ark with him.
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.
10 He waited another seven days and sent the dove out from the ark again.
Hnin sari touh bout ao hnukkhu hote âbakhu hah long thung hoi bout a patoun.
11 When it came back to him in the evening it had a freshly-picked olive leaf in its beak, so Noah knew the floodwaters were mainly gone from the earth.
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.
12 Again he waited another seven days and sent the dove out again, but this time it didn't return to him.
Hnin sari touh bout aloum hnukkhu hote âbakhu, bout a patoun teh ama koe bout ban hoeh toe.
13 By now Noah was 601, and by the first day of the first month, the floodwaters on the earth were gone. Noah pulled back the ark's covering and saw that the ground was drying out.
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.
14 By the twenty-seventh day of the second month the earth was dry.
Apâhni e thapa, hnin 17 nah, talai teh remphui toe.
15 Then God told Noah,
Hottelah Cathut ni Noah koevah,
16 “Leave the ark, you and your wife, your sons and their wives.
Nama hoi na yu, na capanaw hoi na langanaw, long thung hoi tâcawt awh leih.
17 Let all the animals go—the birds, the wild animals, the creatures that run along the ground—so that they can breed and increase their numbers on the earth.”
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.
18 So Noah and his wife, his sons and their wives, left the ark.
Hatdawkvah, Noah teh ama koe kaawm e a capanaw hoi a yu, a capanaw hoi a yunaw hoi a tâco awh.
19 All the animals, all the creatures that run along the ground, all the birds—everything that lives on land—also left, each kind leaving together.
Moithang, saring pueng, a von hoi kâva e pueng, tava phunkuep hoi talai van kâroe e pueng long thung hoi a tâco awh.
20 Noah built an altar, and sacrificed some of the clean animals and birds as a burnt offering.
Hahoi, Noah ni BAWIPA hanelah khoungroe a sak teh, khoungroe dawk hmaisawi thuengnae a sak.
21 The Lord accepted the sacrifice, and said to himself, “I won't ever again curse the ground because of human beings, even though every single thought in their minds is evil from childhood. I won't ever destroy all life again as I have just done.
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.
22 As long as the earth exists, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night, will never come to an end.”
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.
A Dove is Sent Forth from the Ark
