< Genesis 6 >

1 And it happened, when humankind began to multiply on the face of the land, and daughters were born to them,
Talai vah tami pungdaw a kamtawng navah, canunaw a khe awh teh,
2 that God's sons saw that the daughters of humankind were beautiful, and they took wives for themselves, whomever they chose.
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 God said, "My Spirit will not remain in humankind forever, since he is indeed flesh; yet his days will be one hundred 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 Nephilim were on the earth in those days (and also after that), when the sons of God had sexual relations with the daughters of humankind and had children by them. They were the mighty men who were from ancient times, famous men.
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 God saw that the wickedness of humankind was great on the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
BAWIPA ni talai van dawk tami e thoenae a len e hoi lungpouk pueng pou a payon toe tie a hmu.
6 And God was sorry that he had made humankind on the earth, and he was grieved in his heart.
Hahoi BAWIPA ni talai van tami a sak e hah a lungmathoe teh a lung caca a pataw.
7 God said, "I will destroy humankind whom I have created from the face of the earth; humankind, along with animals, crawling creatures, and flying creatures of the sky; for I am sorry 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 But Noah found favor in the sight of God.
Hatei Noah teh BAWIPA lungyouk e tami lah ao.
9 These are the generations of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time. Noah 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 Noah became the father of three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
Noah ni Shem, Ham, hoi Japheth, ca tongpa kathum touh a khe.
11 The earth was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.
Hat navah, talai teh Cathut hmalah karawk e lah ao. Talai teh yonnae hoi akawi.
12 God saw the earth, and look, it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted their 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, "The end of all flesh has come before me, for the earth is filled with violence through them. And look, I will destroy 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 a box-shaped ship of gopher wood. You are to make rooms in the ship, and cover it inside and 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 are to make it. The length of the ship is to be five hundred seventeen feet, its breadth eighty-six feet, and its height fifty-two feet.
Hote long teh asaw e dong 300, akaw e dong 50, a rasang dong 30 touh a pha han.
16 And you are to make a roof in the ship, and you are to finish it twenty-one inches above. And you are to set the door of the ship in its side. You are to make it with lower, second, and third levels.
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 as for me, look, I am bringing a flood of waters on the earth, to destroy all flesh having the breath of life from under the sky. Everything that is on the earth will die.
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 But I will establish my covenant with you. You are to come into the ship, you, your sons, your wife, and your sons' 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 Of every living thing of all flesh, you are to bring two of every sort into the ship, to keep them alive with you. They shall be 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 Of the flying creatures after their kind, of the animals after their kind, and of every crawling creature of the ground after their kind, two of every sort shall come to you, to keep them 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 as for you, take for yourself all the kinds of food that are eaten, and gather it to yourself; and it will be food for you, and for them."
Hahoi nama ni na ca hane hoi saringnaw ni a ca hanelah, cakawi rawca aphunphun na la vaiteh, na pâkhueng han telah atipouh.
22 Thus Noah did. According to all that God commanded him, so he did.
Cathut ni kâ a poe e patetlah Noah ni koung a sak.
