< Genesis 6 >

1 And it comes to pass that mankind has begun to multiply on the face of the ground, and daughters have been born to them,
Talai vah tami pungdaw a kamtawng navah, canunaw a khe awh teh,
2 and the sons of God see that they, the daughters of men, [are] beautiful, and they take women for themselves of all whom they have chosen.
Cathut e capanaw ni tami e canunaw a meihawi e a hmu navah a ngai e patetlah a rawi awh teh, a paluen awh.
3 And YHWH says, “My Spirit does not strive in man for all time, for indeed, he [is] flesh, but his days have been one hundred and twenty years.”
Hat torei teh, BAWIPA ni ka muitha teh taminaw koe yungyoe kaawm sak mahoeh toe. Bangkongtetpawiteh, tami teh tak lah ao dawkvah, atu hoi teh tami e a hringnae teh kum 120 touh han toe telah ati.
4 The giants were in the earth in those days, and even afterward, when sons of God come in to the daughters of men, and they have borne to them those who [were] the mighty from of old, the men of renown.
Hatnae tueng dawk Nephilimnaw teh talai van ao awh. Hathnukkhu, Cathut e capanaw ni tami e canunaw a yonkhai awh teh, ahnimouh hanelah canaw a khe awh. Hote taminaw teh ayan e tueng dawk Athakasaipounge hoi min kamthang e naw lah ao awh.
5 And YHWH sees that the wickedness of man [is] abundant in the earth, and every imagination of the thoughts of his heart [is] only evil every day;
BAWIPA ni talai van dawk tami e thoenae a len e hoi lungpouk pueng pou a payon toe tie a hmu.
6 and YHWH regrets that He has made man in the earth, and He grieves Himself—to His heart.
Hahoi BAWIPA ni talai van tami a sak e hah a lungmathoe teh a lung caca a pataw.
7 And YHWH says, “I wipe away man whom I have created from off the face of the ground, from man to beast, to creeping thing, and to bird of the heavens, for I have regretted that I have made them.”
Hatdawkvah, BAWIPA ni ka sak e tami teh talai dawk hoi ka takhoe han toe. Tami hai, saring hai, vonpui hoi kâvanaw hoi kalvannaw dawk e tavanaw hai, ahnimanaw ka sak e dawk ka lung caca a pataw telah ati.
8 And Noah found grace in the eyes of YHWH.
Hatei Noah teh BAWIPA lungyouk e tami lah ao.
9 These [are] the generations of Noah: Noah [is] a righteous man; he has been perfect among his generations; Noah has habitually walked with God.
Hethateh, Noah e catounnaw doeh. Noah teh tamikalan, a miphun dawk toun han kaawm hoeh e tami lah ao. Cathut hoi cungtalah a ceio.
10 And Noah begets three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
Noah ni Shem, Ham, hoi Japheth, ca tongpa kathum touh a khe.
11 And the earth is corrupt before God, and the earth is filled [with] violence.
Hat navah, talai teh Cathut hmalah karawk e lah ao. Talai teh yonnae hoi akawi.
12 And God sees the earth, and behold, it has been corrupted, for all flesh has corrupted its way on the earth.
Cathut ni talai a khet navah, karawk e lah ao e hah a hmu. Bangkongtetpawiteh, talai van e tami pueng e takthai lamthung teh koung a ro toe.
13 And God said to Noah, “An end of all flesh has come before Me, for the earth has been full of violence from their presence; and behold, I am destroying them with the earth.
Hatdawkvah, Cathut ni Noah koevah takthai pueng e a poutnae teh ka hmaitung a kamnue toe. Ahnimouh kecu dawk talai teh yonnae hoi akawi toe. Talai hoi cungtalah ahnimanaw teh ka raphoe katang han toe.
14 Make an ark of gopher-wood for yourself; you make rooms within the Ark, and you have covered it from inside and from outside with pitch;
Gopher thing hoi nama hanelah, long sak leih. Athung haiyah rakhannaw sak nateh, athung, avan petkâkalup lah thingtapi hoi kanan sin haw.
15 and this [is] how you do it: three hundred cubits [is] the length of the Ark, fifty cubits its breadth, and thirty cubits its height;
Hote long teh asaw e dong 300, akaw e dong 50, a rasang dong 30 touh a pha han.
16 you make a window for the Ark, and you finish it to a cubit from above; and you put the opening of the Ark in its side; you make it [with] lower, second, and third [stories].
Long lemphu na sak vaiteh, a lathueng lahoi dong touh kakaw lah hlalangaw na sak vaiteh, tapang koe lah tho na sak han. Apasuekpoung, apâhni hoi apâthum telah coung thum touh lah na sak han.
17 And I, behold, I am bringing in the flood of waters on the earth, to destroy from under the heavens all flesh in which [is] a living spirit; all that [is] in the earth expires.
Kahring e saring pueng, kalvan rahim hoi ka raphoe hanelah, talai van tuikamuem ka tho sak vaiteh, talai van kaawm pueng koung a due awh han.
18 And I have established My covenant with you, and you have come into the Ark—you, and your sons, and your wife, and your son’s wives with you;
Nang koe ka lawkkam ka caksak han. Nama hoi capanaw na yu hoi langanaw teh long thung na kâen awh han.
19 and of all that lives, of all flesh, you bring two from every [kind] into the Ark, to keep alive with you; they are male and female.
Hahoi ka hring e saring pueng thung e anapui hoi anatongpa kahni touh hring sak hanelah, nang hoi cungtalah long thung na kâen sak han.
20 From the bird after its kind, and from the livestock after its kind, [and] from every creeping thing of the ground after its kind, two of every [kind] they come to you, to keep alive.
Tava dawk hai amae aphun lah, saring dawk hai amae aphun lah, vonpui hoi kâva e dawk hai amae aphun lah, aphun tangkuem dawk e kahni touh hring sak hanelah nang koe a tho awh han.
21 And you, take for yourself from all food that is eaten; and you have gathered [it] to yourself, and it has been for you and for them for food.”
Hahoi nama ni na ca hane hoi saringnaw ni a ca hanelah, cakawi rawca aphunphun na la vaiteh, na pâkhueng han telah atipouh.
22 And Noah does according to all that God has commanded him; so he has done.
Cathut ni kâ a poe e patetlah Noah ni koung a sak.
