Semtilbu 8
1 Hinlah Pathen in Noah le gamsa hole gancha ho kong sunga umjouse ageldoh jingin, Leiset chunga huipi hattah ahin nun sahin ahile twisanglen chu ahung kem lheh tai.
Then God remembered Noah, and all living things, and all the cattle, which were with him in the ark, and he brought a wind across the earth, and the waters were diminished.
2 Leinoi lam a twi ho jong along kang tan, chule chunglam a van'a kona go nasa tah a ju jong athip tan ahi.
And the fountains of the abyss and the floodgates of heaven were closed. And the rain from heaven was restrained.
3 Hichun twisanglen chu leiset chunga kon in ni jakhat le ni som nga jouvin akang hei hoitan ahi.
And the waters were restored to their coming and going from the earth. And they began to diminish after one hundred and fifty days.
4 Hiti chun ni somle ni sagi lhinni lha sagi chan na chun kong chu Ararat molchunga ahung kinga tai.
And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, upon the mountains of Armenia.
5 Lhani le akeh jouvin twi chu ahung kemtul tul'in mol dang dang ho jong molvum ahung kimu pantan ahi.
Yet in truth, the waters were departing and decreasing until the tenth month. For in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, the tips of the mountains appeared.
6 Chujouvin ni somli jou chun Noah in huikot kong sunga asem chu ahin hong doh tan,
And when forty days had passed, Noah, opening the window that he had made in the ark, sent forth a raven,
7 Hichun vavom khat alha doh in ahile, leiset chung adung avaiyin aleng len, leiset chunga twi akan loulai jeh'in ahung kinungle kit tai.
which went forth and did not return, until the waters were dried up across the earth.
8 Chuin Noah in jong leiset chunga twi kang soh tam ti vetna dingin vakhu khat alendoh sah kit'in ahi.
Likewise, he sent forth a dove after him, in order to see if the waters had now ceased upon the face of the earth.
9 Hinlah vakhu chu kingah na ding mun amu hihlaiye, Ajeh chu twijin leiset achup nahlai jeh in ahung ki nungle kitin, hichun Noah in vakhu chu akhut a adomlhan asung langa akoi lha kit tai.
But when she did not find a place where her foot might rest, she returned to him in the ark. For the waters were upon the whole earth. And he extended his hand and caught her, and he brought her into the ark.
10 Chuin ni sagi akho ngaiyin, chujouvin kong'a kon chun vakhu chu alha doh kit'a ahile,
And then, having waited a further seven days, he again sent forth the dove out of the ark.
11 Vakhu chu nilhah lang in ama henglam'a ahung kile kit'in, vetau amuh achun athah beh a kiloulha Olive thingna khat ahin pon, hijeh chun Noah in jong leiset chunga twipi akangsoh tai, ti ahedoh pai jin ahi.
And she came to him in the evening, carrying in her mouth an olive branch with green leaves. Noah then understood that the waters had ceased upon the earth.
12 Chujouvin Noah jong ni sagi ma akho ngai kit'in vakhu chu alha doh kit'in ahile vakhu chu ahung kinung le kit tapoi.
And nevertheless, he waited another seven days. And he sent forth the dove, which no longer returned to him.
13 Noah hinkho chu kum jagup le kum khatna lha masapen, chu che lha ni masapen ni chun leiset chunga twipi abonchan akang soh heltan, hijeh chun Noah'in jong kong kusin chu ahoh lhan agahven ahile leiset chung chu ana go heltan ahi.
Therefore, in the six hundred and first year, in the first month, on the first day of the month, the waters were diminished upon the earth. And Noah, opening the cover of the ark, gazed out and saw that the surface of the earth had become dry.
14 Hiti chun lhani jou don chun leiset chung hoitah in ago hel tai.
In the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was made dry.
15 Hichun Pathen in ahoulimpin hitin ati,
Then God spoke to Noah, saying:
16 “Na boncha uvin kong sunga kon chun pot doh tauvin, nangma nahin, na jinu ahin, na chapate ahiuvin, chule na moute ahi uvin kilhon doh pin.
“Go out of the ark, you and your wife, your sons and the wives of your sons with you.
17 Tahsa a hing ganhing jouse, naum khompi ho vachate ahi uvin, gancha ho ahi uvin, leiset chunga a op'a kitholtho ho ahiuvin, hiche ho chu leiset letthe thua ahung chikhai uva, ahung hinphat uva chule ahung punjalna ding uvin hinpui doh tan,” ati.
Bring out with you all the living things that are with you, all that is flesh: as with the birds, so also with the wild beasts and all the animals that move upon the earth. And enter upon the land: increase and multiply upon it.”
18 Hichun Noah ahin, ajinu ahin, achapate ho ahin amoute toh konga kon chun ahung potdoh tai.
And so Noah and his sons went out, and his wife and the wives of his sons with him.
19 Chuin gancha jouse alen aneo abonchauvin vacha ho ahiuvin ni ni in akop kop in anu khat le achal khat konga konin ahung potdoh'un ahi.
Then also all living things, and the cattle, and the animals that move upon the earth, according to their kinds, departed from the ark.
20 Hichun Noah in maicham Pathen henga asemin, hi achun aman kipeh dohna maicham pumgo thilto saho chule vacha ho amaho akipeh doh na dung jui cheh in pumgo thilto ding in agou vam in ahi.
Then Noah built an altar to the Lord. And, taking from each of the cattle and birds that were clean, he offered holocausts upon the altar.
21 Chuin anam tui maicham ahung kisem jeh chun Pathen alung lhai lheh jengin hitin ama aki houlim in aseiye, “Mihem jeh in keiman leiset hi gaosap kit tapong'e, ajeh chu mihem lung ngaito him him hi aneocha kipat'a hung gilou pan ahi tai; chule ganhing ka semsa ho jong hi sumang kit tapong'e.
And the Lord smelled the sweet odor and said: “I will no longer curse the earth because of man. For the feelings and thoughts of the heart of man are prone to evil from his youth. Therefore, I will no longer pierce every living soul as I have done.
22 Iti nama jongle leiset aum laisen muchi tuphat, chang aat phat, gam dap phat, gamsat phat, nipi lai le phalbi lai, sun laile jan beilou ding ahi,” ati.
All the days of the earth, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, night and day, will not cease.”
