Genesis 8 (TCZCHONG)

1Hinlah Pathen'in Noah le gamsaho le gancha ho kong sunga um jouse ageldoh jingin, leiset chunga huipi hattah ahin nunsah in ahile twisanglen chu ahung kem lheh tai.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.

2Leinoi lam a twi ho jong along kang tan, chule chunglam'a van'a konna go nasa tah a ju jong athip tan ahi.The springs of the deep and the floodgates of the heavens were closed, and the rain from the sky was restrained.

3Hichun twisanglen chu leiset chunga kon'in ni jakhat le ni somnga jouvin akang heihoi tan ahi.The waters receded steadily from the earth, and after 150 days the waters had gone down.

4Hiti chun nisom le nisagi lhinni lha sagi channa chun kong chu Ararat molchunga ahung kinga tai.On the seventeenth day of the seventh month, the ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat.

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

6Chujouvin ni somli jou chun Noah in huikot kong sunga asem chu ahin hong doh tan,After forty days Noah opened the window he had made in the ark

7Hichun va-ah khat alha doh in ahile, leiset chung adung avaiyin aleng len, leiset chunga twi akan loulai jeh in ahung kinungle kit tai.and sent out a raven. It kept flying back and forth until the waters had dried up from the earth.

8Chuin Noah in jong leiset chunga twi kang soh tam ti vetna dingin vakhu khat alendoh sah kit in ahi.Then Noah sent out a dove to see if the waters had receded from the surface of the ground.

9Hinlah vakhu chun kingah na ding mun amu hihlaiye, ajeh chu twijin leiset achup nahlai jeh in ahung kinungle kit in, hichun Noah in vakhu chu akhut a adomlhan kong sunga akoilut kit tai.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.

10Chuin nisagi akho ngaiyin, chujouvin kong'a kon chun vakhu chu alha doh kit'a ahile,Noah waited seven more days and again sent out the dove from the ark.

11Vakhu chu nilhah langin 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 paijin ahi.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.

12Chujouvin Noah jong nisagi ma akho ngai kit in vakhu chu alha doh kit in ahile vakhu chu ahung kinung le kit tapoi.And Noah waited seven more days and sent out the dove again, but this time she did not return to him.

13Noah hinkho chu kum jagup le kum khatna lha masapen, chu che lha nimasapen ni chun leiset chunga twipi abonchan akang sohhel tan, hijeh chun Noah in jong kong husin chu ahoh lhan agahven ahile leiset chung chu ana gohel tan ahi.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.

14Hiti chun lhani jou don chun leiset chung hoitah in agohel tai.By the twenty-seventh day of the second month, the earth was fully dry.

15Hichun Pathen'in ahoulimpin hitin ati,Then God said to Noah,

16“Nabon chauvin kong sunga kon chun potdoh tauvin, nangma nahin, na jinu ahin, na chapa te ahiuvin, chule na moute ahiuvin kilhon dohpi'n.“Come out of the ark, you and your wife, along with your sons and their wives.

17Tahsa a hing ganhing jouse, naum khompi ho vachate ahiuvin, gancha ho ahiuvin, leiset chunga a op'a kithol tho ho ahiuvin, hiche ho chu leiset letthe thua ahung chikhai uva, ahung hin phat uva chule ahung punjalna ding uvin hin puidoh tan,” ati.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.”

18Hichun Noah ahin, ajinu ahin, achapa te ho ahin amoute toh konga kon chun ahung potdoh tai.So Noah came out, along with his sons and his wife and his sons’ wives.

19Chuin gancha jouse alen aneo abonchauvin vacha ho ahiuvin ni ni in akop kop in anu khat le achal khat konga kon'in ahung potdoh un ahi.Every living creature, every creeping thing, and every bird—everything that moves upon the earth—came out of the ark, kind by kind.

20Hichun Noah in maicham Pathen henga asemin, hi a chun aman kipehdohna maicham pumgo thilto saho chule vacha ho amaho akipehdohna dung jui cheh in pumgo thilto dingin agouvam in ahi.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.

21Chuin anamtui maicham ahung kisem jeh chun Pathen alung lhai lheh jengin hitin ama akihoulim in aseiye, “Mihem lung ngaitona hi achapan laiya kipat a hung gilou pan hita jongleh mihem jeh in keiman leiset hi gaosap kit tapong'e; chule ganhing ka semsa ho jong hi sumang kit tapong'e.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.

22Iti nama jongleh leiset aum laisen muchi tuphat, chang aat phat, gam dap phat, gamsat phat, nipi lai le phalbi lai, sunlai le jan beilou ding ahi,” ati.As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night shall never cease.”
