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.

And God remembered Noe, and all the wild beasts, and all the cattle, and all the birds, and all the reptiles that creep, as many as were with him in the ark, and God brought a wind upon the earth, and the water stayed.

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 deep were closed up, and the flood-gates of heaven, and the rain from heaven was withheld.

3 Hichun twisanglen chu leiset chunga kon in ni jakhat le ni som nga jouvin akang hei hoitan ahi.

And the water subsided, and went off the earth, and after an hundred and fifty days the water was diminished, and the ark rested in the seventh month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, on the mountains of Ararat.

4 Hiti chun ni somle ni sagi lhinni lha sagi chan na chun kong chu Ararat molchunga ahung kinga tai.

And the water continued to decrease until the tenth month.

5 Lhani le akeh jouvin twi chu ahung kemtul tul'in mol dang dang ho jong molvum ahung kimu pantan ahi.

And in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, the heads of the mountains were seen.

6 Chujouvin ni somli jou chun Noah in huikot kong sunga asem chu ahin hong doh tan,

And it came to pass after forty days Noe opened the window of the ark which he had made.

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.

And he sent forth a raven; and it went forth and returned not until the water was dried from off the earth.

8 Chuin Noah in jong leiset chunga twi kang soh tam ti vetna dingin vakhu khat alendoh sah kit'in ahi.

And he sent a dove after it to see if the water had ceased from off 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.

And the dove not having found rest for her feet, returned to him into the ark, because the water was on all the face of the earth, and he stretched out his hand and took her, and brought her to himself into the ark.

10 Chuin ni sagi akho ngaiyin, chujouvin kong'a kon chun vakhu chu alha doh kit'a ahile,

And having waited yet seven other days, he again sent forth the dove from 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 the dove returned to him in the evening, and had a leaf of olive, a sprig in her mouth; and Noe knew that the water had ceased from off 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 having waited yet seven other days, he again sent forth the dove, and she did not return to him again any more.

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.

And it came to pass in the six hundred and first year of the life of Noe, in the first month, on the first day of the month, the water subsided from off the earth, and Noe opened the covering of the ark which he had made, and he saw that the water had subsided from the face of the earth.

14 Hiti chun lhani jou don chun leiset chung hoitah in ago hel tai.

And in the second month the earth was dried, on the twenty-seventh day of the month.

15 Hichun Pathen in ahoulimpin hitin ati,

And the Lord God spoke to Noe, 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.

Come out from the ark, thou and thy wife and thy sons, and thy sons' wives with thee.

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.

And all the wild beasts as many as are with thee, and all flesh both of birds and beasts, and every reptile moving upon the earth, bring forth with thee: and increase ye and multiply upon the earth.

18 Hichun Noah ahin, ajinu ahin, achapate ho ahin amoute toh konga kon chun ahung potdoh tai.

And Noe came forth, and his wife and his sons, and his sons' wives 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.

And all the wild beasts and all the cattle and every bird, and every reptile creeping upon the earth after their kind, came forth out of 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.

And Noe built an altar to the Lord, and took of all clean beasts, and of all clean birds, and offered a whole burnt-offering 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 God smelled a smell of sweetness, and the Lord God having considered, said, I will not any more curse the earth, because of the works of men, because the imagination of man is intently bent upon evil things from his youth, I will not therefore any more smite all living flesh 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, seed and harvest, cold and heat, summer and spring, shall not cease by day or night.
