Genesis 6
1 When people began to become very numerous all over the earth, and many daughters were born to them,
Talai vah tami pungdaw a kamtawng navah, canunaw a khe awh teh,
2 some of the men who (belonged to/believed in) God saw that some of the women who did not (belong to/believe in) God were very beautiful. So they took whichever ones they chose to become their wives.
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 Then Yahweh said, “[I will] not [allow] my Spirit to keep people alive forever (OR, the breath of life will not remain in people forever). They will die eventually. They will live not more than 120 years before they die (OR, there will be only 120 more years before they die).”
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 There were [giants called] Nephils who lived on the earth at that time and later. During that time [some of the Nephil] men who (belonged to/believed in) God had sex [EUP] with women who did not (belong to/believe in) God, and they gave birth to children. The Nephils were considered to be heroic fighters, and they became famous.
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 Yahweh saw that people on the earth had become very wicked, and that everything they thought about evil things continually.
BAWIPA ni talai van dawk tami e thoenae a len e hoi lungpouk pueng pou a payon toe tie a hmu.
6 Yahweh was sorry that he had made people.
Hahoi BAWIPA ni talai van tami a sak e hah a lungmathoe teh a lung caca a pataw.
7 So he said, “I will completely destroy the people I made. I will also destroy all the animals and the creatures that scurry across the ground and the birds. None of them will remain on the earth, because I regret that I 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 Yahweh was pleased with Noah.
Hatei Noah teh BAWIPA lungyouk e tami lah ao.
9 This is why: Noah was a man who always acted in a righteous way. No one who lived at that time could criticize him about anything. Noah lived in close fellowship 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 At that time God considered that everyone else on earth was very wicked, and everywhere on the earth, people [MTY] were acting cruelly and violently toward each other.
Hat navah, talai teh Cathut hmalah karawk e lah ao. Talai teh yonnae hoi akawi.
12 God was dismayed when he saw how evil people [MTY] were, because everyone (OR, all living creatures) had begun to behave in an evil way.
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 So God said to Noah, “I have decided to destroy everyone, because all over the earth people are acting violently toward each other. So I am about to get rid of them as well as everything else on 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 [I want you to] make for yourself a large boat from cypress wood. Make rooms inside it. Cover the outside and the inside with tar [to make it (waterproof/so that water cannot get in and sink the boat]).
Gopher thing hoi nama hanelah, long sak leih. Athung haiyah rakhannaw sak nateh, athung, avan petkâkalup lah thingtapi hoi kanan sin haw.
15 This is the size you must make it: It shall be (150 yards/135 meters) long, (25 yards/22.5 meters) wide, and (15 yards/13.5 meters) high.
Hote long teh asaw e dong 300, akaw e dong 50, a rasang dong 30 touh a pha han.
16 Make a roof for the boat. Leave a space of about (18 in./.5 meter) between the sides and the roof to let air and light enter (OR, the middle of the roof should be 18 inches higher than the sides). Build the boat with three decks inside, and put a door in one side.
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 Listen carefully! I am about to cause a flood to occur that will destroy every creature that lives beneath the sky. Everything 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 make an agreement with you(sg): You and your wife, your sons and their wives will enter the boat.
Nang koe ka lawkkam ka caksak han. Nama hoi capanaw na yu hoi langanaw teh long thung na kâen awh han.
19 And I want to save some of all kinds of creatures. So you must also bring two of all living creatures, a male and a female, into the boat with you, so that their species also may remain alive.
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 Two of every kind of creature will come to [in order that by your putting them in the boat] you will keep them alive. They will include two of each kind of bird and each kind of animal and each kind of creature that scurries across the ground.
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 You must also take some of every kind of food that you and all these animals will need, and store it in the boat.”
Hahoi nama ni na ca hane hoi saringnaw ni a ca hanelah, cakawi rawca aphunphun na la vaiteh, na pâkhueng han telah atipouh.
22 So Noah did everything that God told him to do.
Cathut ni kâ a poe e patetlah Noah ni koung a sak.
The World is Destroyed by Water
