Genesis 8 (CTH)

1Hateiteh, Cathut ni Noah hoi cungtalah long thung kaawm e kahring e pueng hoi saring pueng teh pahnim hoeh. Hahoi Cathut ni kahlî a tho sak teh tui a kum sak.But God remembered Noah and all the animals and livestock that were with him in the ark. And God sent a wind over the earth, and the waters began to subside.

2Ka dungpoung koe e tui kâkhunaw hoi kalvan e hlalangawnaw hai a khan teh khorak e a dep sak.The springs of the deep and the floodgates of the heavens were closed, and the rain from the sky was restrained.

3Talai van e tui hah, pout laipalah a kum sak teh, hnin 150 touh aloum hnukkhu tui teh a hak.The waters receded steadily from the earth, and after 150 days the waters had gone down.

4Hottelah long teh thapa yung sarinae hnin 17 nah Ararat mon dawk a kâhat.On the seventeenth day of the seventh month, the ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat.

5Ahranae thapa totouh tui teh pout laipalah, a kum cathuk. Thapa yung hra, apasuek hnin dawk monsomnaw teh a kamnue .And the waters continued to recede until the tenth month, and on the first day of the tenth month the tops of the mountains became visible.

6Hahoi, hnin 40 touh abaw hnukkhu, Noah ni long dawk e hlalangaw a sak e a paawng.After forty days Noah opened the window he had made in the ark

7Vonga buet touh a patoun teh, talai van tui a hak hoehroukrak a voivang lah yuengyoe a kamleng.and sent out a raven. It kept flying back and forth until the waters had dried up from the earth.

8Hahoi talai van e tui a hak toung maw tie panue thai nahanlah âbakhu hah ama koehoi a patoun.Then Noah sent out a dove to see if the waters had receded from the surface of the ground.

9Hateiteh âbakhu ni a kâhat nahan a hmu hoeh dawkvah, long thung ama koe bout a ban. Bangkongtetpawiteh, tui teh talai van koung a kamuem rah. Noah ni a kut a dâw teh âbakhu a la hnukkhu, long thung ama koe bout a pakhum.But the dove found no place to rest her foot, and she returned to him in the ark, because the waters were still covering the surface of all the earth. So he reached out his hand and brought her back inside the ark.

10Hnin sari touh bout ao hnukkhu hote âbakhu hah long thung hoi bout a patoun.Noah waited seven more days and again sent out the dove from the ark.

11Tangmin lah âbakhu teh Noah koe bout a ban teh, a pahni hoi ka hringsuep e Olive hna a thokhai teh, Noah ni talai van tui a hak toe tie a panue .And behold, the dove returned to him in the evening with a freshly plucked olive leaf in her beak. So Noah knew that the waters had receded from the earth.

12Hnin sari touh bout aloum hnukkhu hote âbakhu, bout a patoun teh ama koe bout ban hoeh toe.And Noah waited seven more days and sent out the dove again, but this time she did not return to him.

13Kum 601, apasueke thapa apasuek hnin navah, talai van e tui pueng teh koung a hak. Hatdawkvah, Noah ni long ramuknae a hawng teh a khet navah talai van remke e hah a hmu.In Noah’s six hundred and first year, on the first day of the first month, the waters had dried up from the earth. So Noah removed the covering from the ark and saw that the surface of the ground was dry.

14Apâhni e thapa, hnin 17 nah, talai teh remphui toe.By the twenty-seventh day of the second month, the earth was fully dry.

15Hottelah Cathut ni Noah koevah,Then God said to Noah,

16Nama hoi na yu, na capanaw hoi na langanaw, long thung hoi tâcawt awh leih.“Come out of the ark, you and your wife, along with your sons and their wives.

17Nang koe kaawm e moithang, saring pueng, tava pueng, vonpui hoi kâva e pueng, talai van ca a khe vaiteh, pungdaw thai nahanelah, tâcawtkhai leih, telah atipouh.Bring out all the living creatures that are with you—birds, livestock, and everything that crawls upon the ground—so that they can spread out over the earth and be fruitful and multiply upon it.”

18Hatdawkvah, Noah teh ama koe kaawm e a capanaw hoi a yu, a capanaw hoi a yunaw hoi a tâco awh.So Noah came out, along with his sons and his wife and his sons’ wives.

19Moithang, saring pueng, a von hoi kâva e pueng, tava phunkuep hoi talai van kâroe e pueng long thung hoi a tâco awh.Every living creature, every creeping thing, and every bird—everything that moves upon the earth—came out of the ark, kind by kind.

20Hahoi, Noah ni BAWIPA hanelah khoungroe a sak teh, khoungroe dawk hmaisawi thuengnae a sak.Then Noah built an altar to the LORD. And taking from every kind of clean animal and clean bird, he offered burnt offerings on the altar.

21BAWIPA ni hai hmuitui hmui a thai teh, kai ni taminaw hanelah, talai teh thoe bout ka bo mahoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, taminaw teh a nawca hoi lungthin pouknae a mathoe. Kai ni atu ka sak e patetlah kahring e pueng ka raphoe mahoeh toe.When the LORD smelled the pleasing aroma, He said in His heart, “Never again will I curse the ground because of man, even though every inclination of his heart is evil from his youth. And never again will I destroy all living creatures as I have done.

22Talai tueng ao nathung, cati patuenae tueng hoi anae tueng, pâdingnae hoi abetnae, kompawi tue hoi kasik tue, khodai karum nâtuek hai ka pout sak mahoeh telah ati.As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night shall never cease.”
