MARAH APAN ELIM AH

Lehkhabu khat apan hoih kasakna lai ahi bangbang in kon koih ding:

“But we will not always drink the bitter cup. God will do what He did for Moses and the Israelites in Exodus 15. On their march from Egypt they came to a place called Marah. It was called Marah because the water there was bitter, and the people became bitter because of it, and griped to Moses. But Moses cried out to the LORD, and the LORD showed him a tree; and he threw it into the waters, and the waters became sweet.

And then God led them to Elim where there were twelve springs of waters (that’s one for every tribe), and seventy date palms (that’s one for every elder), and they camped there beside the waters.

By the way, Elim was only about five miles from Marah. Marah today; Elim tomorrow. Bitterness today; sweetness tomorrow”.

2017 kum ei a din, kei a din, nang a din Marah a na/i om kum ana hikha hiam? Marah tuikhatna mun nangawn ah Toupa’n a mite tuikhum a dawnsak hi. I haksakna, i lungngaihna, i dahna te leng kipahna suaksak thei Pa’n Elim (2018) ah Hon pilut ding hi, tua ah kiningchinna, nopsak leh vualzawlna i simsenglouh in hon ngak hi. Byebye Marah (2017), Welcome Elim (2018) chi thei chiat din Toupa’n hon vualzawl chiat ta hen chih ka thumna ahi.

Ka hinna aw, Toupa Phat in!

"Ka hinna aw, Toupa phat inla; ka sung a om tengteng aw, A min siangthou phat in!

Ka hinna aw, Toupa phat inla, a thilhih hoih tengteng mangngilh ken". Sam 103: 1- 2

TOUPA’ PHAL

“Nang lemgel a thil hong tungte, Na phal hang a ka tuahzelte; Banghang hihiam chi’n leel uh ka kung tung a tung khempeuhte, Sian in a phal hang a tung hi e”.

A tung a la, a la a sak suk mai a beisak, a tatak a Toupa, nang lemgel ahi, nang phal ahi chih ding haksa kana sak mahmah khat ana hi gige hi. Haksatna chia gentham hihet lou ding, mi’ tuahte bang le hilou a bawn, Toupa, nang phal ahi chia kilan thei hetlou khat kana hi sim gige hi. Bang chi bang a itna Pathian, hehpihna Pathian in hiai bang phal ahi ding chih kei mimal hinkhua leh lehkhabu khenkhat a mi’ tanchin ka simkhak te apan kana kidot theih zel dotna khat ahi.

I Laisiangthou a Job tanchin bang, Job in a diktatna, a migitna thuakpih. Job migitna, dikna pen Pathian in Setan touna (challenge) dia ana zang laizang hiveh aw Job laibu a I muh bang a. Setan leh Pathian kitouna kikal ah Job a thuaktu a pangkha, tulai pau leh fair hetlou ahi Job adia, himahleh i Laisiangthou mah in, “Hiai tengteng ah Job in a hihkhial kei a, haihuaitak in Pathian leng a mawhsa kei hi”, ana chi lai hi.

Thupina maizen e Job! Ei khong i niteng nekzonna a mi’ kikal khong a thuaktu kisa sim a i pankhak chiang a vuallel kisa lopah, i mihinpih mahte tung leh Pathian tung bang avuina ding zong simpah a ki-om thei zel. Hehpihna hun ah ginna ziak a Pathian’ ta chih a om, Job bang a omdan hoih, dik leh gensiatbei hihna ziak hi mahmah lou, hehpihna ziak kia a, hamphatna i ngah lai a, tua ginna ziak a sawina leh ze-etna neu chikchik vuipih ana kihi a, Toupa’ thu ana kingai lou, ana kitheilou lua, huai ziak ahi chih pomdan khat ka neithei ta hi.

Laisiangthou ah Jesu’n “Simon, Simon, ngai in, Setan in buhsep bang a honsep theihna ding in, noute hon ngen eive”, (Luke 22:31) ana chi hi. Ginna ziak a sawina leh bawlsiatna i thuakna dia Toupa’ theihpih ana hih dan, Setan, thilhihthei leh thupitak, i Toupa kiang ah ana thum ana hi, i tan bangbang, i pal bangbang, Toupa’ phal mah ana hi ahi. A lungmuan huai mahmah chu, “Himahleh na ginna a manlouhna ding in k’on thumsak hi; na kihei nawn chiangh in nang na unaute hihkip in, achi hi”, (Luke 22:32). Toupa’n ei thuak thuak a, ei phut-phut a phu dia hon nuse mai hilou in, i ginna a manlouhna dia hon na thumsak hi lailai ahi.

Gingtu hihna ah ginna in zungthuk i kha hiam? Sawina leh ze-etna te i palkhak chiang in i lungke mai hiam? Tua bang te i tuahkhak chiang in hiai phawkni. “Min keimah ziak a hontai ua, a honsawi ua, zuau a gilou chiteng a a honhek hun chiang un, na hampha uhi. Kipak unla, nakpitak in nuam un; van ah na kipahman uh a thupi ngal a: Tuamah bang in na ma ua zawlnei omte leng a na sawi zel uhi” (Matthai 5:11-12).

KHANGTHAKTE KHUALNA/ITNA ZIAK A DIKTATNA A KILAMTHAKNA

“Kei TOUPA na Pathian uh Pathian mullithat, pate khelhna ziak a a tate gawtzel, hon mudahte suan thumna leh suan lina tan a gawtzel….” Diuteronomi 5:9 (b)

Rev. N. Pumsuanmung, Youth Coordinator in August 27, 2017 in EBCC Delhi a a hunzatna ah, ‘ei khang tan a khovel bei ding hileh zaw i om khak dandan, i hih khak dandan hisak sukni chia ngaihzam dan khat le om dia, himahleh ei khang tan a khovel bei ding chi thei lou ihih man in, ei hih diklouh gah i tate, tute’n thuak thei ahih phawk kawm in, nu-le pate’n khatvei khangthakte, khang omsawn dingte khualna in i khopi/lamka hon etpih lai un’ a chih toh a tung a bible tangteel a kituak mahmah di’n ka gingta hi.

Hiai thu tuni a ka honpiak na lungtang uah a tam gige ding a; na tate uh phatuamngai tak in na sinsak ding ua, na in ua na tutlai un, lampi a na pailai un, na luplai un leh na thoh chiang un na gen ding uh ahi” (Diut. 6:5-7).
