< Genesis 8 >

1 God remembered Noah, all the animals, and all the livestock that were with him in the ship; and God made a wind to pass over the earth. The waters subsided.
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 deep’s fountains and the sky’s windows were also stopped, and the rain from the sky was restrained.
Kathuk thung ih tuipueknawk hoi van ih thokbuemnawk to anghak moe, van hoi angzo kho to dip.
3 The waters continually receded from the earth. After the end of one hundred fifty days the waters receded.
Long asom ih tui to kaang tathuk; ni cumvai, qui pangato pacoengah, tui to amsah tathuk.
4 The ship rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on Ararat’s mountains.
Khrah sarihto, ni hatlai sarihto naah, palong to Ararat mae nuiah angtang.
5 The waters receded continually until the tenth month. In the tenth month, on the first day of the month, the tops of the mountains were visible.
Khrah ha karoek to tui to amsah tathuk, khrah hato haih hmaloe koek niah loe kasang maenawk to amtueng boeh.
6 At the end of forty days, Noah opened the window of the ship which he had made,
Ni qui palito pacoengah, Noah mah a sak ih palong thokbuem to paongh;
7 and he sent out a raven. It went 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 He himself sent out a dove to see if the waters were abated from the surface of the ground,
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 into the ship to him, for the waters were on the surface of the whole earth. He put out his hand, and took her, and brought her to him into the ship.
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 yet another seven days; and again he sent the dove out of the ship.
Ni sarihto zing pacoengah, pahuu to palong thung hoiah a prawt let.
11 The dove came back to him at evening and, behold, in her mouth was a freshly plucked olive leaf. So Noah knew that the waters were abated 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 yet another seven days, and sent out the dove; and she didn’t return to him any more.
Ni sarihto zing pacoengah, pahuu to a prawt let; to pacoengah loe pahuu to angmah khaeah amlaem let ai boeh.
13 In the six hundred first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried up from the earth. Noah removed the covering of the ship, and looked. He saw that 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 spoke to Noah, saying,
To naah Sithaw mah Noah khaeah,
16 “Go out of the ship, 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 Bring out with you every living thing that is with you of all flesh, including birds, livestock, and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, that they may breed abundantly in the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply on 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 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 animal, every creeping thing, and every bird, whatever moves on the earth, after their families, went out of the ship.
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, and took of every clean animal, and of every clean bird, 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 pleasant aroma. Yahweh said in his heart, “I will not again curse the ground any more for man’s sake because the imagination of man’s heart is evil from his youth. I will never again strike every living thing, 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, and cold and heat, and 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.
