Genesis 8
1 God considered Noah, all the wild animals, and all the livestock that were with him in the ark. God made a wind blow over the earth, and the waters started going down.
Toe Sithaw mah kahing hmuennawk boih, Noah hoi nawnto kaom moinawk boih to pahnet ai; long nuiah takhi to songsak pongah, tui to anghak.
2 The fountains of the deep and the windows of heaven were closed, and it stopped raining.
Kathuk thung ih tuipueknawk hoi van ih thokbuemnawk to anghak moe, van hoi angzo kho to dip.
3 The flood waters went down slowly from the earth, and after the end of a hundred and fifty days the waters had gone down.
Long asom ih tui to kaang tathuk; ni cumvai, qui pangato pacoengah, tui to amsah tathuk.
4 The ark came to rest in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat.
Khrah sarihto, ni hatlai sarihto naah, palong to Ararat mae nuiah angtang.
5 The waters continued to go down until the tenth month. On the first day of the month, the tops of the mountains appeared.
Khrah ha karoek to tui to amsah tathuk, khrah hato haih hmaloe koek niah loe kasang maenawk to amtueng boeh.
6 It came about after forty days that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made.
Ni qui palito pacoengah, Noah mah a sak ih palong thokbuem to paongh;
7 He sent out a raven and it flew back and forth until the waters were dried up from the earth.
pangaah maeto a prawt, pangaah loe long nuiah tui kang ai karoek to, ahnuk ahma azawk.
8 Then he sent out a dove to see if the waters had gone down from the surface of the earth,
To pacoengah long nuiah tui kaang boeh maw tiah panoek hanah, pahuu maeto a prawt let;
9 but the dove found no place to rest her foot, and she returned to him in the ark, for the waters were still covering the whole earth. He reached out with his hand, and took and brought her into the ark with him.
toe long to tui mah khuk boih vop pongah, acukhaih ahmuen to hnu ai; to pongah a ohhaih palong ah amlaem let; to pacoengah Noah mah ban to payangh moe, pahuu to angmah khaeah palong thungah lak.
10 He waited another seven days and again he sent out the dove from the ark.
Ni sarihto zing pacoengah, pahuu to palong thung hoiah a prawt let.
11 The dove returned to him in the evening. Look! In her mouth was a freshly plucked olive leaf. So Noah knew that the waters had gone down from the earth.
Duembang ah loe pahuu to angmah khaeah amlaem let, khenah, pahuu loe tahmawh ah olive thingqam to koeng; to naah long nuiah tui to kaang tathuk boeh, tiah Noah mah panoek.
12 He waited another seven days, and sent out the dove again. She did not return again to him.
Ni sarihto zing pacoengah, pahuu to a prawt let; to pacoengah loe pahuu to angmah khaeah amlaem let ai boeh.
13 It came about in the six hundred and first year, in the first month, on the first day of the month, that the waters were dried up from off the earth. Noah removed the covering of the ark, looked out, and saw that, behold, the surface of the ground was dry.
Saning cumvai taruk, maeto, khrahto haih, ni tangsuek naah long nui ih tui to kaang tathuk; Noah mah palong imphu to khok moe, a khet naah, long nuiah tui to kaang boeh, tiah a hnuk.
14 In the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was dry.
Khrah hnetto haih, ni pumphaeto pacoeng, sarihto naah, long nuiah tui to kaang boih boeh.
15 God said to Noah,
To naah Sithaw mah Noah khaeah,
16 “Go out of the ark, you, your wife, your sons, and your sons' wives with you.
Nangmah hoi na zu, na capanawk hoi na capanawk ih zunawk, palong thung hoiah tacawt o laih.
17 Take out with you every living creature of all flesh that is with you—the birds, the animals, and every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth—so that they may grow unto very large numbers of living creatures throughout the earth, be fruitful, and multiply upon the earth.”
Nang hoi nawnto kaom hinghaih tawn hmuennawk, moinawk boih, tavaanawk, pacah ih moinawk hoi long ah kavak hmuennawk boih tacawt haih ah; long ah caa kapop ah sah o nasoe, thingthai athai o nasoe loe, long nuiah pung o nasoe, tiah a naa.
18 So Noah went out with his sons, his wife, and his sons' wives with him.
To pongah Noah loe a caanawk, a zu hoi a caanawk ih zunawk hoi nawnto tacawt o.
19 Every living creature, every creeping thing, and every bird, everything that moves on the earth, according to their families, left the ark.
Moi kasannawk boih, long ah kavak hmuennawk boih, tavaanawk boih, atii kanghmong long ah kavak moinawk boih, palong thung hoiah tacawt o.
20 Noah built an altar to Yahweh. He took some of the clean animals and some of the clean birds, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.
Noah mah Angraeng hanah hmaicam to sak; kaciim moi, kaciim tavaa to a lak pacoengah, hmai hoi angbawnhaih to a sak.
21 Yahweh smelled the pleasing aroma and said in his heart, “I will not again curse the ground because of mankind, even though the intentions of their hearts is evil from childhood. Nor will I again destroy everything living, as I have done.
To tiah hmai angbawnhaih to Angraeng mah hmuihoih ah thaih pae naah, Angraeng mah palung thung hoiah, Kami mah nawkta nathuem hoiah poekhaih kasae tawn cadoeh, kami hanah long hae ka tangoeng let mak ai boeh; ka sak ih hmuen baktih toengah, kahing hmuennawk to natuek naah doeh kam rosak mak ai boeh.
22 While the earth remains, seed time and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, and day and night will not cease.”
Long oh nathung, antii haehhaih tue, thingthai qumpo lakhaih tue, kangqai tue, kabae tue, nipui tue hoi sik tue, khodai hoi khoving to natuek naah doeh boeng mak ai boeh, tiah thuih.
