1 Tedae Pathen loh Noah khaw, mulhing boeih khaw, amah neh lawng khuikah aka om hmaih rhamsa boeih khaw a ngaidam. Te dongah Pathen loh diklai ah khohli a tueih tih tui khaw hnop uh.
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.
2 Te phoeiah tuisih laedil neh vaan bangbuet a biing tih vaan lamkah khonal te a paa sak.
The deep’s fountains and the sky’s windows were also stopped, and the rain from the sky was restrained.
3 Diklai hman kah tui te khaw rhaeng. Tui te tla tih, rhaeng tih, khohnin ya sawmnga a boeih vaengah kak.
The waters continually receded from the earth. After the end of one hundred and fifty days the waters receded.
4 Te phoeikah a hla rhih hla hnin hlai rhih vaengah lawng te Ararat tlang ah duem.
The ship rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on Ararat’s mountains.
5 Tui aka om rhoek te khaw hla rha khuiah voehvoeh kak tih a hla rha vaengkah lamhmacuek khohnin ah tlang som rhoek te tueng.
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.
6 Te phoeiah om tih hnin likip a boeih vaengah Noah loh lawng kah bangbuet a saii te a ong.
At the end of forty days, Noah opened the window of the ship which he had made,
7 Te phoeiah vangak te a tueih hatah diklai ah tui a haang due dong, cet tih voei bal.
and he sent out a raven. It went back and forth, until the waters were dried up from the earth.
8 Te phoeiah diklai hman kah tui kak te aka so ham amah taengkah vahui te a tueih.
He himself sent out a dove to see if the waters were abated from the surface of the ground,
9 Tedae diklai hman boeih te tui loh a khuk dongah vahui kho kah a khopha ham ngolbuel hmu pawt tih Noah taengah lawng khuila bal. Te vaengah a kut a yueng pah tih vahu te a loh phoeiah lawng khuila a khuen.
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.
10 Te phoeiah hnin rhih koep a rhing tih lawng khui lamkah vahui te koep a tueih.
He waited yet another seven days; and again he sent the dove out of the ship.
11 Hlaem vaengah vahui te amah taengla ham paan hatah a hmui dongah olive hnah thingsuep pueng ne. Te dongah diklai kah tui kak coeng tila Noah loh a ming.
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.
12 Te phoeiah hnin rhih a rhing bal tih vahui te a tueih dae anih taengla koep bal voel pawh.
He waited yet another seven days, and sent out the dove; and she didn’t return to him any more.
13 Kum ya rhuk neh kum khat, hla lamhmacuek, lamhmacuek khohnin ah diklai hmankah tui te kak. Te dongah Noah loh lawng kah imphu te a khoe tih a sawt vaengah diklai hman te phueihuet la a hmuh.
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.
14 Te dongah a hla bae hnin kul neh hnin rhih nen tah diklai phuei coeng.
In the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was dry.
15 Te phoeiah Pathen loh Noah te a voek tih,
God spoke to Noah, saying,
16 “Namah khaw, na yuu khaw, na ca rhoek khaw, namah taengkah na langa rhoek khaw, lawng khui lamkah halo laeh.
“Go out of the ship, you, your wife, your sons, and your sons’ wives with you.
17 Pumsa boeih khuiah namah taengkah aka om mulhing boeih neh vaa boeih khaw, rhamsa neh diklai ah rhuicai aka yuel boeih khaw diklai ah luem tih a pungtai vaengah diklai ah ping sak ham namah taengah khuen rhoe khuen,” a ti nah.
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.”
18 Te dongah Noah neh a ca rhoek khaw, a yuu neh a langa rhoek khaw, hmaih halo uh.
Noah went out, with his sons, his wife, and his sons’ wives with him.
19 mulhing boeih neh rhulcai boeih khaw, vaa boeih neh diklai ah aka colh boeih lawng dong lamloh amah huiko neh pawk uh.
Every animal, every creeping thing, and every bird, whatever moves on the earth, after their families, went out of the ship.
20 Te phoeiah Noah loh BOEIPA taengah hmueihtuk a suem. Rhamsa boeih khuikah aka caih neh vaa boeih khuikah aka caih te a loh tih hmueihtuk dongah hmueihhlutnah la a nawn.
Noah built an altar to the LORD, and took of every clean animal, and of every clean bird, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.
21 BOEIPA loh a hmuehmuei te a huep vaengah a botui. Te dongah BOEIPA loh a lungbuei ah, “Hlang kah lungbuei benbonah he a camoe lamkah thae cakhaw hlang kong ah diklai te thaephoei thil ham ka khoep voel mahpawh. Te dongah mulhing boeih ka saii vanbangla ngawn ham ka khoep voel mahpawh.
The LORD smelled the pleasant aroma. The LORD 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.
22 Diklai a tue boeih a om khuiah cangti tue neh cangah tue khaw, khosik neh khobae khaw, khohal neh sikca khaw, khoyin neh khothaih khaw paa uh mahpawh,” a ti.
While the earth remains, seed time and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night will not cease.”
