7. Upna leh Sanna

Kha Siangtho in na lungsim hong khanlawh sak tak ciangin, mawhna a siat huaina, a hatna, a gau leh a gim huaina te na mu-a, kihna tawh na en hi. Mawhna in Pasian tawh hong kikhen saka, siatna khut nuai ah kol-awk na hih lam na kiphawk hi. Na suahtakna ding na hanciam ciangin, na cihmawh lam na kiphawk semsem hi. Na ngaihsutnate siangtho lo-a, na lungsim nin hi.

 Na nuntakna huaihamna leh mawhna tawh kidim a hih lam na mu hi. Mawhna hong kimai sak ding, hong kisil siang ding leh hong kisuahtak sak ding na ut hi. Pasian tawh kilema, Amah tawh kibatna – na ngahna dingin na hih theih bang om hiam?

Na kitangsap pen khamuanna hi-a, Vantung pana mawh mai sakna, khamuanna leh itna a hihi. Tua pen sum in lei thei lo, pilna in zong piang sak thei lo, ciimna in zong cin zo lo hi; nangma hanciamna tawh ngah zawh dinga lamet ding hi lo hi. A hi zongin Pasian in tua pen, “sum piak kul lo, man piak kul lo-in,” a khawnkhongin hong pia hi (Isaiah 55:1). Na khut zan khia-a na saan leh tua in nang’a ding hi pah lel hi. Topa in, “Na mawhnate sandup a bang zongin, vuuk bangin a ngo ding hi; san-au bangin a san zongin tuu mul a bang ding hi,” “Lungtang thak kong pia dinga, na sung lamah lungsim thak ka guang ding hi,” ci hi (Isaiah 1:18; Ezekel 36:26).

Na mawhnate thuumin, na lung sung panin na paai khia hi. Nang mahmah Pasian a kipia dingin na khen sat hi. Tu-in Amah zuan in la, na mawhnate hong mai saka, lungtang thak a hong guan dingin ngen in. Hong khap sa bang mahin Ama’n hong pia hi ci-in um in. Pasian’ hong (50) kamciam thupha ih ngah hi ci-a ih up takpi leh a ngah takpi ih hihi, ci-in, leitung ah a om lai-in Jesu in hong hilh hi. Ama hihtheihna a um mite, Jesu in a natna uh dam sak hi; a muh theih uh nate panin amaute huh hi; tua bangin a muh theih loh uh nate tawh kisai-in Ama tungah muanna nei sakin, mawhnate mai sak thei a hihna um sak hi. Pum zaw pa a dam sakna ah hih thu tel takin hong gen hi: “Mihing Tapa in leitung ah mawh mai sak theihna nei a hih lam na theihna ding un, ci-in (pum zaw pa’ kiangah Amah in), Tho in la, na delhphah la-in na inn ah ciah in,” ci hi (Matthai 9:6). Tua mah bangin Jeus’ na lamdang bawl te a genna ah thuhilh sia Johan in, “Jesu in Pasian’ Tapa Khristu hi, cih na up theihna ding uh leh, tua na upna uh hangin Ama min tawh nuntakna na ngah theihna dingun, hih thute a kigelh a hihi,” ci hi (Johan 20:31).

Jesu in cina a dam sak dan Lai Siangtho in a gennate panin, mawhntate hong mai sak dingin Amah ih up dan ding thu pawl khat ih thei hi. Bethesda bual gei-a pum zaw pa’ thu

ngaihsun kik dih ni. Amah cimawh mahmah hi; a khut a khe a zat theih loh kum sawmthum leh kum giat pha ta hi. Tua kim lai Jesu in, “Tho in la, na delhphah la-in lam pai in,” ci hi. “Topa aw, kei nong dam sak ding leh na cih bangin ta mah ning,” ci leh kilawm hi. A hi zongin ci lo hi, Khristu’ kammal um hi; a dam mahin kingaihsun pah hi; hong kisa pah hi, lam pai thei nuamin, hong pai pah takpi hi. Khristu’ cih bangin hong ta-a, Pasian in hihtheihna pia hi. Amah dam ta hi. (51) Tua mah bangin nang zong mi mawh khat na hihi. Na mawhna sa te na mai sak thei kei hi; na lungtang na kheel thei kei-a, nang leh nang na kisiangtho sak thei kei hi. A hi zongin tua te khempeuh Khristu tung tawna hong hih sak dingin Pasian in kamciam hong pia hi. Tua kamciam na um hi. Na mawhnate thuumin, nang mahmah Pasian na ki-ap hi. Amah biak ding na uthi. Tua bang liana na hih takpi leh Pasian in a kamciam hong tung sak ding hi. Tua kamciam uma, - na mawhna hong kimai sakin hong kisiangtho sak hi, ci-a na up leh, na up bangin Pasian in hong piang sak ding hi; pum zaw pa in, dam ing, ci-a a ki-up cianga Khristu in lam pai theihna a piak bang lianin, nang zong a siangtho na hi ta hi. Na up banga a piang a hihi.

Hong kisiangtho sak ahih lam na phawk dong ngak kei in; “Ka um hi, ka upna bangin piang hi, ka phawkna hang hi lo hi. Pasian’ hong cihna bang hi zaw hi,” ci in.

Jesu in, “Na deih peuhpeuh uh, na nget uh ciangin, ngah hi hang ci-in um un, tua hi leh na ngah ding uh hi,” ci hi (Marku 11:24). Hih kamciam a tangtunna ding thu khat om hi: Pasian’ deihna tawh kituakin ngen ding, ci hi. Pasian in mawhna panin eite hong siangtho sak nuam hi, A tate hong suakta sak nuam hi; nuntak siangtho hong nungta sak nuam hi. Hih thuphate ih nget ding a hihi, ngah ih hih lam zong ih um ding hi, ngah ih hih manin Pasian’ tungah lung damna ih ko ding hi. Jesu’ kiang zuana sianthona ih ngah ding, mai zumna leh kisuan taakna om lo-a thukham mai-ah ih din ding, eite hamphatna a hihi. “Tua a hih ciangin tu-in Jesu Khristu sungah oma, ci leh sa’ deihna zui loin, Kha Siangtho’ deihna a zui mite tungah mawh sak na a om kei hi.” (Roma 8:1).

Tua huna kipan na pumpi nang’a hi nawn lo hi; man tawh kilei sa na hihi. “Ngun leh kham banga a kisia thei nate tawh note hong kitan a hi kei hi;…kawk baana leh meel hemna (52) a om lo tuuno tawh kibang Khristu’ sisan manpha tawh hong kitan hi.” (1 Petru 1:18,19). Hih banga a baih ziau Pasian upna panin, Kha Siangtho in na lung sungah nuntak thak hong piang sak hi. Pasian’ innkuan sungah a suak na hi ta-a, A Tapa a it bangin Pasian in nang hong it hi.

Tu-in nang mahmah Jesu na kipia khin ta hi. Nung kik kei in. Ama kiang panin kihem khia nawn kei in. Ni simin, “Khristu’a ka hihi; Amah ka ki-ap zo,” ci in. A Kha hong piakna

ding leh A hehpihna tawh a hong kepna ding Ama kiang ngen in. Nang mahmah Pasian na kipiakna leh Amah na upna tawh Ama ta a suak na hih mah bangin Ama sungah na nuntak ding a hihi. Sawltak Paulu in, “Note in Topa Jesu Khristu na saan uh mah bangin, Ama sungah nungta un,” ci hi (Kolosa 2:6).

Sittelna sungah om lai ih hih manin, Ama thuphate ih nget ma-in, kipuah pha ih hih lam Topa’ tungah ih lah phot kul hi, ci-in mi kim khat in ngaihsun uh hi. Tu mahmahin zong Pasian’ thupha kingen thei hi. A thanemnate uh a huh dingin Pasian’ hehpihna a hi Khristu’ Kha a neih ding uh kisam hi, tua lo-in amaute in siatna a nang zo kei ding uh hi. Ih hi bang lian mahin, mawhna a dim, a cimawh, a pawl ngaipi mahin Amah ih zuat ding Jesu in hong deih hi. Ih zawngkhakna, ih haina, ih mawhna khempeuh tawh pai-in, kisikna tawh Ama khe phung ah ih bok ding hi. Hong itna ang lum ah eite a hong kawi ding, ih liamnate a hong dam sak ding leh ih kihhuaina khempeuh pana a hong sil siang ding pen Ama vanglianpi a hihi.

Hih mun ah mi tampi khial uh hi; Jesu in a mimal ciata a mawhna uh mai sak ding cih um lo uh hi. Pasian’ kammal a hi bangin saang lo uh hi. Mawhna a kici khempeuh a mai sak dingin mawh maina a khawnkhongin kipia a hih lam mi khempeuh in a theih ding uh pen hamphatna lianpi a hihi. Pasian’ kamciamte, nang’a ding na sak khak lohna lungsim paai khia in. Tua te (53) a kisik mawh nei khempeuh’ a ding a hihi. A um mi khempeuh kiangah vantung mite in a puak dingin thahatna leh hehpihna Khristu tung tawnin kivai hawm zo hi. Amaute’a dinga a si pa – Jesu’ sunga om hatna, sianthona leh diknate a ngah zo lo ding zahin a mawh lua kuamah om lo hi. Mawhna tawh a nin gawp a puante uh suah khiat saka, dikna puan paak a silh sak dingin Jesu in amaute ngak hi; si lo-a a nungta dingin amaute sam hi.

Mihing khat leh khat ih kibawl bangin Pasian in eite hong bawl lo hi. Ama ngaihsutnate pen hehpihna, itna leh khualna vive a hihi. Tua hi-a, “Mi gi lo in ama lampi nusia hen la, a dik lo mi in ama ngaihsutnate nusia ta hen. Topa’ lamah Amah kileh kik hen; Topa in amah a hehpih ding hi. Ih Pasian’ lamah kileh kik hen; Amah in a mai sak kikeuh ding hi.” “Na thu palsatnate meei vom bangin ka nil khia-a, na mawhnate meii ngo bangin ka seem khia hi,” ci hi (Isaiah 55:7; 44:22).

“Mite a sihna ah nop sakna ka nei kei hi, Topa Pasian in ci hi; tua a hih ciangin kihei kik un la, nungta un.” (Ezekel 18:32). Pasian’ kamciamte hong sut khia dingin Satan kiging sa-in om hi. Amah in lametna nitaang leh lung sung khawvak khempeuh la khia nuam hi; a hi zongin tua banga hong hih ding phal peuh mah kei in. Khem thei pa’ thu ngai ke’n la, “Ka nuntak theihna

dingin Jesu si zo hi. Ama’n kei hong ita, ka siat cip ding hong deih lo hi. A hong don Pa khat vantung ah ka nei hi; Ama hong itna neu seh kha-in, a hong piak thuphate ka mawkna sak kha a hi zongin, ding khia-in ka Pa’ kiangah ka pai dinga, ‘Vantung leh Nangma mai-ah ka mawh zo hi; Na tapa cih dingin zong ka kilawm nawn kei hi; Na thacialte khat bang lel hong hi sak in,’ ka ci ding hi,” ci in. A vak thap te a kisaan kik dan ding a tangthu in hong gen hi: “Amah gamla (54) pi ah a om lai-in, a pa in mu-a, hehpih a hih manin va delha, a ngawng ah kawi-in a nam hi.” (Luka 15:18-20).

Hih tangthu nangawn zong lungsim hong sukha mahmah a hih hangin, vantunga om ih Pa’ hong itna hong gen khia khin zo nai lo hi. Topa in, “Tawntung itna tawh nang kong it hi; tuaa hih man in itna takpi tawh nang kong kai hi,” ci-in A kamsangpa hong gen sak hi (Jeremiah 31:3). Mawh nei pa a Pa’ inn pana gamla pi a om lai mahin, gam dang ah a neihsa teng a mawk bei sak hi napi, a Pa in amah ngai hi; Pasian’ lama ciah kik nopna lungsim a hong suak khempeuh pen Pa’ hong itna lungtang lamah Kha Siangtho in a vak thap te a hong zolna, a hong heelna leh a hong sapna a hihi.

Na mai-ah Lai Siangtho pana kamciam tampi tak om hi napi-in, up lahna nei lailai ding na hiam? Mawh nei mi khat hong ciah kik nopa, a mawhnate a nusiat nop ciangin, kisikna tawh Ama khe phung a zuan dingin Topa in amah nolh bekbak ding hi, ci-in um thei na hiam? Tua bang ngaihsutnate paai khia in! Vantung a om ih Pa’ thu, tua banga ngaihsutna sanga na kha a susia thei zaw na dang om lo hi. Amah in mawhna mu dah hi, a hi zongin mawh nei te in Amah itin, a ut khempeuh in gupna ngaha, vanglian gam sungah tawntung thupha a ngah theihna dingun, Khristu’ pumpi sungah Amah hong kipia hi. Amah in eite hong itna, Ama’n a hong genna kammal sanga a hoih a pha zaw kammal om thei nawn ding a hi hiam? “Numei in a nawi a ne naungek mangngilh thei-in, a sul pana piang a ta hehpih lo-in om thei ding a hi hiam? Hihi, amaute in mangngilh thei kha ding uh hi, a hi zongin Ke’n note kong mangngilh kei ding hi,” hong ci hi (Isaiah 49:15).

Up lahna leh patauhna tawh a om mi aw, khawdak in; ei’a ding a hong thuum sak (55) dingin Jesu nungta hi. A Tapa a hong piak manin Pasian’ tungah lungdam ko in la, nang’a dinga a mawkna-a a si a hih lohna dingin thu ngen in. Tu ni-in Kha Siangtho in nang hong sam hi. Na lungsim khempeuh tawh Amah zuan in; A thupha na ngah ding hi.

Pasian’ kamciamte na sim ciangin, gen zawh loh itna leh hehpihna hong kilah khiatna a hih lam phawk in. Mawh nei te’ lamah a bei thei lo hehpihna tawh Pasian’ hong itna lungtang

30

hong pai hi. “Ama sisan hangin mawh mai sakna a hi tat khiatna eite in ih ngah hi.” (Ephesi 1:7). Hihi, Pasian pen nang hong huh pa hi, ci-in um in. Mihing’ sungah Ama zia leh tong Ama’n hong guang kik nuam hi. Kisikna leh thuumna tawh Ama kiang na naih leh mawh mai sakna tawh nang’ kiang Ama’n hong nai ding hi.
