Text: John 1:14a “Bia cu minung ah a cang i kan lakah khua a rung sa”.

Kan Biafang le kan Khuaruah

Bia hi thawnnak (thiltikhawhnak- power) a ngei, ti a si. Cucaah cun, kan pupa hna nih “bia chim sawhsawh hlah, hla sa sawhsawh hlah” an rak titawn. Ruat setmat loin bia chim sawhsawh mi le hnuhmai tuak lem loin duh paoh biachim mi nihhin midang rawhralnak le mah pumpak rawhralnak tiang a phanh ter tihi asi. Kan Biblethiang zong nih “Bia cu minung ah a cang i kan lak ah khua a sa”, a ti.

Biafang kan hmanmi nih kan sining, kan khuaruah ning, kan dirhmun tampi a langhter. Cu lawng siloin cu kan biafang hmanmi nihcun kan nunning, kan khuaruahning zong akan sersiam fawn. Biadang in kan chim ahcun kan philosophy le kan theology zong a kan sersiam, tinak a si hnga.

Biafang kan hmanmi a biapit ning an hmuh fiang tuk caah mifim le khuatuak deuh nihcun ralring tein hman khawh an izuam tawn. Tahchunhnak ah: Dis-able titawn mi kha Less-able; Illegal worker kha Undocumented worker (minung hi illegal timi a um kholo, an ti) tiin an auh hna. Mit-caw timi nakin khua-hmulo, ti ahcun ngaih adam deuh; Ngahtah cawmnak timi nakin Ngakchia zohkhenhnak, ti cu thinlung a dam deuh ngai ko.

Kan Chinmi Khrifa nitin kan hmanmi biafang tete chungin pakhat hnih te kan vun zoh tti tuah lai:

1. Leimi nih HRUT ka ti hna seh ka zei poi lo.

Chinmi zumtu le hrintharka pawl nih kan uar ngaimi kan hla pakhat cu; “Leimi nih hrut ka ti hna seh ka zei poi lo” ti a si. Paul nih Korin Khrifa hna sinah “Kannih cu Khrih ruangah mihrut kan si; nannih tu cu nan fim” (1 Kor. 4:10; Rom 1:22; 1 Kor. 1:27 etc.) timi pawl kha lak in; Fimnak kong (nungak fim; sal fim etc.) pawl a kan cawnpiaknak hna cu ihmuh ter loin; kan um tawn hna. Apoi rih mi cu; cu “hruh” cu cathiam lo sinak le catang sang kailonak he khin kan peh ter rih. Hi biafang pawl hi catang ngeilo phungchim vak pawl nih mah i humhak nak caah le thatein Bible sianginn akaimi hna doh nak ah an thlir bik mi Bible cacang a rak si. Nihin ahcun anmah pawl zong fimnak catang sang phunphun kai in le an fa le hna zong sianginn thatha ah fimnak sangsang an cawn ter cang hna. Amahbelte, cu an rak aupi mi “hruh zong a poi lo” timi cu Laimi Khrifa kan nun ahcun a kan ciah liopi a si rih ko. Catangsang akaimi thapek khawh lonak, tanpi duhlonak, soiselnak timi Negative thil hmuhning pawl tampi ahrin. Hi bantuk mipi ruahnak le zumhnak a pialter khomi biafang le zumhnak hna hi, nihin hruaitu hna nih kan i hmaithlak ding thilpi pakhat a si.

Pathian nih mihrut si hi a kan duh piak ballo; minung a hohmanh nih mihrut si cu kan duh ballo bantuk in kan khuaram le kan miphunpi zong hi a lamkip in a fim ding cu tuanvo kan ngei. Kan miphun tthatnak ding caah cun hrawhawk ttha cu kan hrawh lai i, thlenawk tthami cu kan thlen hna lai.

2. Jesuh min in kan in sawm.

Nihin kan Khrifabu canhmannak le meeting tuahnak hna ah kan hman tam ngaimi bia cu: Jesuh Min in kan in sawm, timi hi a si. Tahchunhnak ah: “Solo sak ding ah Jesuh min in kan in sawm” “Thawngthanhtu ding Jesuh min in kan in sawm” “Laksawng lak dingah Jesuh min in kan in sawm” etc. ti pawl an si.

Jesuh min in zeizongte tuah uh, (Kol. 3:17) ti a si kolo maw; a ttha kolo maw; Jesuh min in tuah mi paoh cu kan ti kho men. A dik nak zawn a um ko lai nain, hi thil umtu ning nihhin kan khuaruahning (philosophy) le kan Pathianbia hmuhning (theology) tampi a langhter. Kan Bawipa Jesuh nih a kan cawnpiak mi cu, ka Pa sin ah keimah (Jesuh) min in hal uh, timi tu hi a si deuh. MIN an hmannak cu; mah nakin thil tikho deuhmi, a tthawng deuhmi, mah sinak nih a phan khawh lomi hna kha chawnbiak le ton duh tikah; Amah he aa theihngalmi maw, a siloah, amah nakin huham ngei deuhmi maw, an Min kha hmang in chawnhbiak le ton kha a sitawn.

Kan solo satu hna le kan Thawngthanhtu pawl hi cutluk tiangtiang in huham ngeimi le fial ngamlo le chawnh ngam lo ding tiang in le Jesuh Min tiang ilak hnawh ding tiangin a liannganmi cu maw an si kun. Zomi Baptist Convention (ZBC) General Secretary Rev. E. Hlawn Piang kha Biakinn pakhat ah Pumh cantlaitu nih khan “A tu cu Phung chim ding ah Rev. Hlawn Piang, Jesuh min in kan sawm” a vun timi kha; “Keimah menmen phungchim ding hna, Jesuh Min in nan ka sawm cu aw … ka ning leitu a zak” a rak ti bal. (Hlawn Piang kha Jesuh min iput in va sawm lawng ah phung a chim lai ding bang; cubangin, kan Khrifabu ah Thawngthanhtu zong khi Chairperson nih sawm lawng incun thawng a thanh duh lailo bang le (huham a ngei tuk i a bawi tuk i) Jesuh min in kan sawm lawng ah (Jesuh min kha a zah lai i) Thawng hna a kan thanh colh lai bang khin, kan can ter.

Hi thil pawl nih a langhtermi pakhat cu Chinram cu Khrifaram (Khrifa milu tamdeuh) a si caah zeizong vialte kha kan khrifa-ter (Christianize) sawhsawh bia a si hnga maw. A sullam ruat setsai lo le tuak setsai loin hawi tuah mi paoh kha kan hei tuah ve bia hna a si hnga maw. Khrismas can ah Khrifa-silomi unau cheukhat Guitar pakhat he Khrismas hla innkip ah kal in an va sak; laksawng an hmuh mi kha zuu an dinnak, bantuk fang hrawng khi a si. Constantine siangpahrang chan ah rammi kip Khrifa an luh ter hna i Khrifa pennak (empire) pi an ser nain zumhnak leiin cun biatak tein an tlak can ah a cang (Kan ram ah Khrifa donkhamnak le ri khiah piaknak a um len mi zong hi a herh nak a um hrim ve ko rua).

Kan mawh lonak pakhat te tu cu, kan uktu bawi pawl ton kan duh tikah; bawi dang pakhat min in a si loah amah catial piak mi lawngin ton khawh a simi ram ah kan um caah kan nun ahhin kan i ziak ngai colh zong a si ko lai. Asinain, kannih a tu Jesuh min kan hman ning hna hi cu, cu he cun a lettalam a si hoi; a cung a tang kan leh dih (duhsah tein ruat te).

Kan Pathian min hi ningcang deuh in hmang ding le sullam ngeih tein hman ding zong kan Bible cawnpiaknak a si (Exodus 20:7). A cungnungbik Pathian he bia ruah kan duh tikah kan Bawipa Jesuh min in thla kan cam lai; kan sinak nih a tei khawh lomi Setan khuachia thawl kan duh tikah a tei khotu Jesuh min in kan tthawl hnga. Kan Bawipa Jesuh min cu ningcang te le tihzah tein hmang hna uhsih.

63rd Chin National Day Speech by Dr. Dennis

Ps. 19:1 The heavens declare Thy glory...
Prov. 14:34 Righteousness exalted the nation (How great Thou art.)

The Legacies of Chin National Day

By

Dennis S. Maung

Introduction:

Honorable President, Mr. Van Ivan, Secretary, and members of the 63rd CND Celebration Committee, Philippines; honorable guests from Union Theological Seminary-Philippine Christian University, being led by its President the Rev. Dr. Ferdinand Ammang Anno; dustinguished guests from our fellow ethnic indigenous people of the Kachin, the Shan and the Karen, distinguished guests from our fellow Chins who are residing in India and Bangladesh, our friends from Vietnam and Philippines, and beloved fellow Chins, brothers and sisters, Good after noon!

I am grateful to the 63rd CND Committee for giving me special privilege to deliver a short speech on this auspicious and elegant day of the whole Chin people. I will not reiterate the genealogy and the territory of the Chins at this moment but I would like to remind you of the legacies of CND. Why the CND and what for, must be strongly emphasized today.

1. Chin National Democracy.

My fellow Chins:

The first legacy of the CND is self determination. The Chin people have the right to make decisions by ourselves. Self determination is the heart, the life and the aspiration of our forefathers. The pioneers of the CND were the members of the Chin Affairs Council (Chin Government), organized right after Aung San-Attlee Treaty in 1947: they were

Pu Vuantu Maung (Kanpelet)...Chin Minister

Capt. Mang Tung Nung (Teddim)...Secretary

Pu Lian Tthum (Hakkha)...Chairman

Pu Hlur Hmung (Falam)...Member

Pu That Hlaing (Paletwua)...Member

Pu Sang Ning (Matupi)...Member

After a thorough discussion over the designation of CND at the first council meeting of the Chin Affairs Council in October 1950, all the members agreed and approved February 20 as Chin National Day because February 20 is significant that it was the day of the Chin Peoples Assembly in Falam carefully determined and willingly accepted to apply Democracy in Chinland. The Chin Peoples General Assembly, attended by 5000 Chins, was conducted from February 19-22 in 1948. On February 20, they enthusiastically accepted ideology and principles of Democracy in which they believed self determination is fully realized. Self determination means self decision making power, freedom, rights and equality. Therefore Pu Lian Tthum, Chairman of the Chin Affairs Council promulgated to observe February 20 as Chin National Day. Faith of our fathers living still. As we observe Chin National Day, let all the Chin people strive forward until democracy is fully realized in Chinland.

2. Chin National Unity

My fellow Chins:

The second legacy of CND is Chin National Unity. Unity is extremely needed in nation building. We have heard that Unity is strength. United we stand and divided we fall. Unfortunately, some narrow-minded people and leaders among the Chins have devisive ideas due to our differences and self interests. However, their devisive ideas may not effect us, we still belong to Chin National. Our different locations cannot devide us. Our different dialects cannot seprate us. All these differences are mighty bonds to strongly and firmly binds all the Chins together. These differences are the beauty of Chinland and Chin nation. Our forefathers gave us precious and valuable legacy of Unity. It was signified by the General Assembly of the Chin people where 5000 participants attended in Falam in 1948 and discussed the Chin's Affairs. They unitedly gathered together and raised the same voice. They loved each other, they encouraged each other and working for the common cause of the Chins other than their own townships and villages. It was so honorable that our leaders unitedly stood for the common good of the whole Chin. It was Falam Spirit indeed. This Spirit would be nurtured and maintained by all the Chins. The CND is the time to affirm our diversed culture, language and ways of life to expose the beauty and unity of our beings. This celebration binds us all the Chins into one. We must keep this CND alive so that the Falam Spirit also be alive in us. With this Spirit, we would be stronger in our struggle for democracy and freedom. This national day reminded us to be united into one Chin national body. National cohesiveness would be strongly pursued. This Chin National Day clearly indicated that we, the Chins are a very distinctive nation of the world. We must be united and strong for our common cause of freedom and dignity. There were times that people in authority attempted to wipe out Chin National Day. They tried to replace it by 1) Chin Flower Festival Day ( It was in 1956 December 4, under Chin Minister Pu Za Hre Lian, and MP Pu Thang Lian, both are from Pasabala party. They won parliament election in 1956 and on the first Chin Parliament Assembly in July, 1956, MP Thang Lian proposed to abolish CND), 2) next attempt was in 1966, imposed by Burma Socialist Program Party to change the CND into Chin Special Division Day because Burman authority was uncomfortable with the term "Chin National"; 3) finally the Burmese authority tried to divert CND into Chin State Day in 1974 right after refrandum. Indeed, CND bears National spirit. It is Chin National Day. The day that our forefathers unanimously designated as "Chin National Day". It is today February 20. In 1958, this day was approved by the Cabibet and the Parliament to be designated as Burma Gazetted Holiday but was not sign by the President to put into law (I don't know why). Therefore, my Chin fellow brothers and sisters, let us recognize and acknowledge this day for National Unity and solidarity. Let us rise up in one accord for national unity and solidarity for freedom.

3. Chin National Identity

My beloved Fellow Chins

The third legacy of the CND is Chin National Identity. The CND has become Chin Identity. It has been celebrated since 1951 in Mindat and on and on up till today. All the Chins in all over the world are celebrating today as our National Day to testify that we are the Chins. Therefore the CND is our Identity.

Furthermore, we all know that all nations in this world have their own symbols, fauna and flora, festivals and celebrations on designated days and times to signify their identities. We, the Chins also do. Our symbol is Hornbill. It signifies loyalty, faithfulness and honesty. The Chins are faithful and honest. We are trustworthy. If you are a Chin, you are trustworthy. If you are a Chin, you are a Christian. Gracefully and gloriously, being a Christian has become Chin identity in Burma. We had the history that the Chin was not know how to tell a lie. The Chin never told a lie and never deceived others. Truth is their necklace. Today, our Chin identity is nobility, purity, integrity and loyalty. Let us keep our identity alive as we celebrate this auspicious CND.

Conclusion:

Beloved fellow Chins, let us keep the CND legacies alive, as of democracy, unity and identity. Democracy, unity and identity are the CND's legacies. Let's keep alive these legacies throughout our lives. May God bless all the Chin people.

PATHIAN HMUHNAK LAM

Rev. Luke Sui Kung Ling

Text: Matthew 5:8 “Lungthin a thiang mi nih Pathian nan hmuh lai John 10:10b "Kei cu nunnak kha duhdimte in an ngeihnak hnga ca ah ka ra"

Introduction

Lungthin Thiang mi si ding ah Pumsa Thiang sinak zong a herh. Thianhhlimnak hi minung nunnak ah a biapi tuk. Thianhlimnak lo in minung nunnak a kal kho lo. A thianghlim lomi hmunhma ah kan um kho lo. A nam, a thu mi rim ah kan um kho lo. A thianghlim lomi hnipuan zong kan ihruk-aih kho lo. A thianglo mi tirawl zong kan ei ding kho lo. Cubantuk in a thianglo mi thinlung zong ah um khawh a si lo. Thianhhlimnak hi a biapi hringhran.

Kan Bible ca nih “Lungthin a thiangmi nih Pathian nan hmuh lai” a timi lawng hi a za lo. Pumsa a thiangmi si a herh ve. Pumsa a thian lo ahcun Lungthin zong a thiang kho lo. A pahnih in thian a hau mi a si.

Minung pumpak pakhat hi iruat cio tuah usih. Thianhhlimnak he pehtlai in minung pumpak cio nih a hrampi (Essential) herhmi phunli a um. Cu hna cu

A. Taksa/takpum (Physical body) thianhhlimna

B. Hruk-aih hnipuan (Dress/clothing) thianhhlimnak

C. Thinlung (Mental) thianhhlimnak

D. Thlarau (Spiritual) thianhhlimnak

Acung ttialmi hi pumpak level a si. A bu (Community, Society, Organization, Institution, etc.) hna zong ah hi a cunglei hna hi pumpak cio nih a bu ah kan ngeih ding a herhmi an si.

Thianhhlimnak Phunphun

Thianhlimnak hi a tlangpi in tthen 2 in kan tthen lai.

I. Lenglei (External) thianhhlimnak

II. Chunglei (Internal/Inner) thianhhlimnak

III. Number 1-nak Lenglei thianhhlimnak hi phun 2 in kan tthen rih lai.

1. Pumsa (Physical/Bodily) thianhhlimnak

2. Hnipuan (Dressing, Clothing) thianhhlimnak

1. Lenglei Thianhlimhnak

Lenglei thainhhlimnak kong hi Thinlung thianhhlimnak a biapit zia kan fiankhawh deuhnak hnga ding ca ah kan chim hmasa lai. Hngalh hmasa a herh fawn.

Minung nunnak ah thianhhlimnak phun 4 kan chim cang bantuk in hi phun 4 ning hin thianhhlim a hau. Pali lakah pathum thianhhlim ko zong ah pakhat a thian lo ahcun san a tlai lo. Kan pumpi nih a thianglo timi label a co tthiamtthiam ko.

Mi pakhat cu a takpum a thianhhlimh ko bu ah aa hruk aih mi hnipuan a thianhlim lo ahcun cu mi pa/nu cu a thianghlim lo ti a si tthiamtthiam ko. Amah takpum lawng a nam si lo in pawngkam zong a namh chih dih. A sin ah umkhawh a si lo.

Mi pakhat cu a aa hruk-aih mi a hnipuan a thianhhlimh ko bu ah a takpum a thianhlim lo ahcun cu mi pa/nu cu a thianghlim lo ti a si tthiamtthiam ko. A pawngkam tiang a rimchia nih a namh ca ah a pawng ah umkhawh a si lo. Cucaah mi pakhat taksa thianhhlimnak ca ah takpum he hnipuan he thianhhlimh a herh.

II. Chunglei Thianhhlimnak

1. Thinlung Thianhhlimnak

Chunglei thianhhlimnak ti tikah thinlung thianhhlimnak hi chim duhmi a si. Phundang in chim ahcun thinlung thianhhlimhnak a theipar cu nunzia ah a langh ca ah “Nunzia thianhhlimhnak” (“Purity of morality”) ti zong in hngalh a si. Mipakhat cu a takpum le a hnipuan hruk-aih mi a thian ko bu ah a thinlung a thian lo ahcun mibu thinlung ah um awk a ttha ve lo. Takpum le hnipuan a thianghlim lomi hna nih takpum le hnipuan a thianghlim mi hna sin ah um bantuk khi a si ve. Cucaah thinlung thianhhlimhnak hi a biapi ngaingai. A thianghlim lomi thinlung ah huatnak, nahchuahnak, sual duhnak, zaang-ennak, hakkauhnak, etc. pawl an um. A thianghlim mi thinlung ahcun dawtnak, zaangfahnak, ngaihthiamnak, lungsaunak, lawmhnak etc. pawl an um.

2. Thlarau Thianhhlimnak

Thlarau thianhhlimhnak hi Thinlung thianhhlimhnak he aa pehtlai ngaimi a si. Cucaah cattialtu cheukhat nih thinlung le thlarau hi dirhmun le sining aa khat in an hman/chim ttheu. A ngaingai ti ahcun minung nunnak hi thinlung nih a hruaimi a si. Thinlung rianttuannak hi mit in hmuhkhawh mi a si lo. A theipar tu cu mithmuh in minung nunzia ah a lang mi a si. Thlarau rianttuannak kan timi zong hi mit in hmuhkhawh mi a si lo. A theipar lawng minung nunnak ah a langmi a si ve. Cucaah Thinlung le Thlarau hi sining aahrawm in (Interchangeably) an chim ttheunak a si.

Galatians 5:22 ah Thlarau theitlai hna cu: dawtnak, lawmhnak, daihnak, lungsaunak, zangfahnak, tthatnak, zumhawktlak mi sinak, toidornak le mah le mah itei khawhnak hna an si (Gal 5:22). [The fruit of the Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control (Gal 5:22, NIV].

Thlarau theitlai he aa ralkah mi hna cu: nu le pa sualnak, a thurhawm mi thil, aa dawhcah lomi thil, siasal bia, dawih le eih te hna hi an si (Gal 5:19-20). Pakhat le pakhat an i ral, an i do, an i nahchuah, an thin a hung, anmah zawn lawng an ruat, an itthen, ziar an i ngeih, zu an ri, an au an khuang i cu bantuk thil a dang tampi kha an tuah lengmang hna. Cu bantuk thil a tuahmi hna cu Pathian Pennak an hmu lai lo (Gal 5:21). [The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. Those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God (Gal 5:19-20, NIV]

Thinlung le Thlarau thianhhlimhnak ah hin ruahnak le tinhmi a thiangmi siding zong a biapi. Eg. Nihin free vangelist cheukhat le founders pawl khi kan chim kho ngai, kan nal taktak. Kan tinhmi a dik maw ti khi an kan thei kho hna lo. Midang zong kan thei kho ve hna lo. A tak nak in a deu khi a muisam le a lenglang ah aa dawh deuh an ti ttheu bang theihkhawh kan si lo. Kan theipar lawng in theihkhawh a si. Theitlai cu an par veve ko. Mah pumpak le chungkhar ca lawng ah a theipar a hung si ahcun cucu tinhmi tthalo, a thurhnommi thinlung in a chuakmi theipar a si. Mipi ca ah a theipar a hung si i mipi nih an cohlan mi le an ni lawmh mi le an inuamhpi mi a si ahcun cu bantuk cu a thianghlim mi thinlung in a chuak mi theipar a si. Nihin ah evangelists, founders, pastors tampi cu self-interest ca ah Pathian le Thlarau min zuar in thinlung tinhmi thianglo he a nungmi kan tam cang. Kan zapi iralrin kan hau cang.

Thinlung le Thlarau thianhhlimhnak hi midang nih pekhawhmi le tuahpiak khawhmi a si lo. Mah nih tuah dingmi a si. Mah nih tuah lawng ah a tlam a tlingmi a si. Pathian nih minung vialte thleidang lo in thinlung a kan pek cio. Cu a kan pekmi thinlung cu a ttha in hman le a chia in hman ding lawng lam pahnih a um. A ttha in ma kan hman, a chia in dah kan hman timi pumpak cung ah aa hngat mi a si. Cu cungah a cung i minung sining (huatnak, sualnak, hakkauhnak, etc.) in a hmang mi nih Pathian pennak ah an lut kho lai lo. Sihmanhsehlaw Thlarau sining in a hmangmi nih Pathian pennak an hmuh lai. Hi lam pahnih lawng hi a basic principle pi cu a si.

Kan takpum zawtfahnak a kan petu hna cu a thianlonak le a thunam mi ah a ummi fikfa, tho, rungrul, zu, etc. pawl an si. Kan takpum le kan hnipuan a thianlo ahcun hrik, tthah, hmaifa, ui hrik pawl an um colh i an karh colh. Cu bantuk in kan inn le kan pawngkam a thianlo ahcun fikfa, tho, zu, etc. pawl an um colh i an karh colh ve. Hi zawtnak a kan petu le a kan sehtu hna hi an umduhnak hmun a thurmi kha thianh lo ahcun zeitluk kan thah len hna zong ah an karh tthan lengmang ko. Thahkhawhnak le karhter tilonak lam pakhat lawng a um. Cucu an umnak hmun thianter kha a si. A umnak hmun kan thianh hlan poah cu an karh tthan lengmang ko lai i zawtfahnak an kan pek chin lengmang ko lai. An umnak hmun kan thianhkhawh lawng ah an um ti lai lo i pumsa ngandamnak zong kan hmuh lai.

A cunglei bantuk in thinlung thianhhlimhnak zong a si ve. Pathian pennak chung luh ding a kan dontu, a kan khamtu hna a simi huatnak, nahchuahnak, hakkauhnak, sual duhnak, etc. pawl an umnak kan thinlung kha thianter a hau. Thianter ttunglo in a thah in thah ahcun a cung i hrik le thah, fikfa, hmaifa hna an karh tthan lengmang bantuk a si ve ko. Karhter ti lo in hlohnak lam pakhat lawng a um. Cucu a hnawm mi, a thunam mi thianh (thiannak) kha a si. Cutikah lawng kan thinlung ngandamnak kan hmuh lai i Pathian pennak ah kan lut kho lai

Hi thinlung thianhhlimnak hi ahohmanh ai-rawl in ituahpiak khawhmi a si lo. Mah pumpak cio nih tuahding a si. Hringtu nu le pa nih siseh, cawnpiaktu saza le sazama nih siseh, pastor nih siseh, evangelist nih siseh, sibawi nih siseh, ahohmanh nih ituahpiak khawh a si lo. Tuah ningcang a lam lawng hmuhsak le cawnpiak khawh a si. A tuahtu taktak cu pumpak cio kan si. Cucaah aho hmanh bochan awk a si lo. Kanmah le kanmah kha kan ibochan a hau. Mah le mah teitu si a herh. Mah le mah teinak lawng in tuahkhawh mi a si. Cucaah mah le mah itei hi teinak sangbik a si an tinak a si.

Hi teinak sangbik an timi hi a dikmi hrim a si. Midang tei kan izuam hlan ah mah le mah kan itei hmasa a herh. Cu hnu lawng ah midang kan teikhawh hna lai. Mah le mah hmanh kan itei khawh hlan ah midang tei khawhnak lam a um lo.

A tawinak in chim ahcun kan thinlung kan thianter (eradicate hatred, envy, lust, etc.) ahcun Pathian pennak chung ah kan um cang tinak a si. Kan thinlung kan thurhnomh ter ahcun Pathian pennak ah kan lut kho lai lo.

Biadonghnak

Pathian hmuhnak le Pathian sin phaknak ca ah lam kan zawh ding cu "Thiannak Lam" hi a si. Lamdang kan zawh ahcun sehtan sin hna kan phan lai. Kan Bible ca nih a chimmi "Lungthin a thiangmi nih Pathian nan hmuh lai" timi ah hin thinlung thiannak ca ah taksa zong thian chih a herh. Cucaah Taksa, Thinlung, Thlarau in a thiangmi si kan herh. Cucu a ho cio poah nih kan izuam awk rian a si. Midang nih midang ca ah ituahpiak khawhmi a si lo. Cu lawng ah damnak tlamtling (Taksa, Thinlung, Thlarau) kan hmu lai. Cucu Pathian nih a duhmi a si. Amah sining kha a si. “Pathian kha nan hmuh lai”timi ah hin Pathian taktak kha minung bantuk in nan hmuh lai tinak si lo. Pathian a sinak tu kha nan hmuh lai tinak a si. Cucu damnak tlamtling (duhdim nunnak--Abundant life -John 10:10) timi cu a si. Nunnak tlamtling – Life in its fullness timi zong a si.

One Voice (Chin National Day)

One Voice (Chin National Day)

by

Van Biak Thang

No longer could the Chins stand the colony

Nor could they bear the hands of nobility;

Undaunted yet united they made their ways

Towards liberty they thus yearned in one voice.

Despite steep mountains and deep vales in between,

Days and nights on foot they traversed to the scene;

No rains and storms stopped their long journey and choice;

Together the Chins sought and fought in once voice.

Years of struggles for equal rights and freedom

To the Chins begot a national custom-

Chin National Day, brought up in harmony,

Marking the strength of once voice in unity.

Today ought the Chins to heed the tapestry

That history wove into a net of beauty,

Intertwined in the spirit of brotherhood,

In one voice firmly and steadily they stood.

A Voice From Vanity

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,

By God’s grace, last week, in sprit of all hardships, problems, difficulties we could able to finish our CD Album called A Voice from Vanity. This Album is made in Manila, Philippines with both professional Filipino and Burmese music players. And all the songs are composed and sung by our group. In this Album, you may listen the songs both in Myanmar language and English. And also it is our own songs and our efforts for God’s kingdom to reach out good news to the un-reach people through music in Myanmar. In order to avoid from all the illegal work, we have copyright from Philippine office. This Album is really dedicated to Life Christian Church in Yangon, Myanmar. Under that Church there are ministry works such as Orphanage ministry with outreach ministry. So, all the income will go to that ministry. We also really thank God for allowing us to do this Album to help that ministry at least with our talents that God has given us. We, therefore humbly request your kindly participation in the ministries with us through buying our newly CD Album. It is sold 150 Pesos only. In Myanmar also this Album is already advertised in Christian Magazine and it is soon to be delivered. So, please pray for our first CD Album and Life Christian Church. And may we invite you to come and join our thanksgiving day of first CD Album, which will be held at Presbyterian Theological Semester on 17, 2, 2011.

In Christ, Yarza.

Happy Valentine's Day

It's More Than Saying I Love You

We give on this day candy and flowers,
But we never stop to say thank you for the many hours.
You have stood by my side and gave a smile,
As if to tell our hearts it's been worth every mile.
No need to buy a teddy bear or even a card,
It's pretty simple and not at all hard.
Just put your arms around me and hold me tight,
And say without words that in your heart all is right.
You may say I Love You throughout the year,
But on this day you need to make sure.
The words so sweet and straight from your heart,
That your life would be lonely without my part.
So put forth the effort and take the time,
Look me in the eye and say I'm glad you're mine.

A Nung Mi Cakuat (Living Epistles)

By

Dr. Mang Lian Pau

Caan tha caan sunglawi a kan petu kan Pathian a min cu thangthat si ko seh! PCCF hruaitu hna le u le nau nan dihlak cungah lunglawmhnak chim cawk lo ka ngei. Hi thawngtha hi Bawipa sunhlawinak caah siseh law a reltu kan dihlak caah thazaang thar laknak ah si hram ko seh.

Baibal ca cang:Kan ca kenmi cu nanmah kha pei nan si cu, kan lungthin cungah mi vial te hngalh awk le rel awk in tialmi cu. Hi ca a tialtu cu Khrih kha a si i kannih hi a phortu ah a kan hmanmi kan si. Cu ca cu lung cungah cahang in tial si loin minung lungthin cungah a nungmi Pathian thlarau nih a tial mi a si. (2 Kor. 3:2-3)Bible chungah Zumtu hna hi thil a phunphun he tahchunhnak an sinak kha kan hmuh.

A canah ‘mitsur ruang’ akan ti. A can ah ‘cite’ a kan ti. A can ah ‘ceunak’ a kan ti. Ka dangah ‘Tuu’ nan si a kan ti.Hi ka 2 Kor3:2-3 ah cun ‘Ca zual nan si a kan ti.’Ca zual cu cakuat a si ko. Nang le kei cu anung mi Pathing Thlarau in ttialmi cakuat kan si.

Cakuat nih cun thawngpang pakhat tal cu a ken peng. Hoikom cakuat a um. Lunglawmh biachimhnak caah kuatmi ca a um. Lawmhpinak cakuat aum. Ih ngeihchiat pinak ca a um. Nungak tlangval ca aum. Cubantukcun cakuat a phun phun um ko hmanhsehlaw, kannih khrihfa hna cu sualnak le ttah aihramnak he a khat mi hi vawlei ah lunglawmhnak le ruahchannak a chuah pi dingin a nung mi Jesuh khrih caah a kan timhtuah mi cakuat kan si.

Bible nih nun thianghlim nei dingin an kan cawnpiak lengmang. Zeiruangahdah Pathian nih hin nun thianhhlim nak hi a duh hnga? Romans 12:1;Ephesians 1: 4 ;1 Peter 2:5; Acts 2:4;1Peter 2:9; Romans 16:16; Exodus 2:5.Nun thianhhlim hi tuchan minung nih kan ruat huam ti lo. Cu nakcun politics, economic, fimthiamnak etc. pawl kong caih hi kan huam deuh. Thianhlimnak kong chim le caih ahcun angaih kan huam lo, kan i phetchem diam. Pathian nih cun nun thiang le nun thar in nun ter akan duh. Baibal ah“mi zei hmanh hi Khrih he an i pehtleih ah cun mi thar an si, a nun ning hlun kha a lo cang” a ti .Nun hlun kal tak I, nunthar nun thiang hlim lam kal kha Pathian nih a kan cawn piak peng mi asi. Kan caang thim 2 Kor. 3:2 kha van zohthan than hna uh sih. Zei ruangah dah Pathian nih thianhlim nak hi biapi ah a chiah ti mi hi ka text ah Paul nih a kan chimh mi kan rel ah cun kan piang deuh lai dah ka ti. Verse 2 ah ‘Nanmah cu mivial te nih theih ding ah le rel ding ah kan lungthin cungah tial mi ca cu pei nan si cu’ a ti. Rel awk tlakcakuat kan si maw?Theihawk tlak nun the kannun ah cuang maw?. Paul “nan mah hi a nung mi cakuat nan si” tiah a kan ti hih.

**Nan nunnak ah “kei cu cakuat ka si ti ah na ruat bal maw?

**Nanmah le nangmah a nungmi peh tleihnak a tuah tu ka si tiah na ruat bal maw? Mi vial te nih an rel lai ding mi Bibal( cakuat) cu kan mah kan si ti ruah a kan fail. Paul nih kan nih cu a nungmi cakuatnan si a kan ti. Cu cakuat cu zei tindah a tial ti ah cun minung nih tuah chawm mi cafung, cahang, le cahnah in si lo in ‘Pathian i a thiangthlarau in atial mi kan si. Cu ruangah cun “Maw kapa Pathian na ram le na miphun hna caah rak ka hmang ko. Na rian ah ni fa te rak ka hruai ko” ti peng ding kan si.“Bawipa na ka herh maw?”,“kei mah ka um ko” tiah a chim kho dingin timhtuahnak a ngei peng ding mi kan si. Isaiah 40:8 chung ah “ hramh cu a car, pangpar cu a uai, a si nain Pathian bia cu zungzal in a hmun” a ti. Cu zungzal a hmun mi bia cu Pathian caah thinlung le nungnak dihlak aa pe i thiang thlarau in a khat mi hna caah ah a si. (the Book of Eli)

Cakuat ti mi cu thawng pakhatkhat thanh ding in tial mi a si tiah kan chim cang bang in Pathian nih zumtu kan dih lak hi khamhnak thawngtha chim ding in a kan design mi kan si. Chim a kan fial mi thawngtha cu “Pathian nih vawilei hi a dawt hrinhran caah a fapa ngeihchun te kha a pek, cu caah a mah a zum mi pauh cu an thi ti lai lo, zungzal nunnak an ngei lai”ti hi asi. Kan chim maw?. Kan nun nih ta a chim maw?

Kan nih cu khrih thinlung kha mi vial te sinah pekchanh ding mi in ser mi le vial mi kan si. Mi tam pi nih cun na thawngtha chimmi ngeih duh lo zong in an al khawh men ko. Nain, na nunnak in na langh ter mi khrihfa tette kha cu i theihter duh lo in an um kho lai loh. Vawlei Ceunak na si nak kha fak deuh in langh terlaw mi tam pi nih thatnak na tuah mi kha an hmuh lai i Pathian cu an thangthat lai. Mi tam pi nih nuclear ral thawh lai hi an tih hringhran. Sinain, Pathian rat than lai ding le caandongh lai nakkong cu zei rel lo in kan um hna. Vaw lei pumsa chikhat nun nak maw a biapi deuh zungzal nun nak dah?. Nang le kei nih kan porh mi thawngtha hi thihnak le nunak phur kho tu a si ti kan theih a hau.

Cakuat ti mi cu rel ding ah tial a si i kan nih cu Khrih cakuat kan si bantuk in kan nun ning hi rel awk tlak kan si maw? A nung mi cakuat kan si bang in ruah channak a ngei le mi le Bawipa dawtnak a hngal rih lo mi hna sih ah kan nun rel ter in kan chim kho hna lai maw? Cakuat ti mi cu rel lawngsi loh rel mi kha pian a hau. Kan chim mi le kan nung a khah loahcun kan chim mi nih a fiang kho lai lo. Cu ban tuk thawngtha cu mi vaivuanh ter tu thawng tha a si lai . Cu ban tuk mi vaivuanh ter mi thawngtha kan chim lo nak ding ah cun a thianghlim mi nun hi a herh. Kan nih vial te hi mi vial te nih rel ding ah Pathian nih a kan design mi cakuat kan si. Pathian pennak ram caah advertisement mi kan si. Company pa khat a that le that lo cu a chuah mi thil in chim a si. Lettama a thiam le thiam lo cu a sak mi in in theih a si. Church zong cu a chung i um mi zumtu hna zoh in tah a si. Khrih zong hi a zul tu kan nih hna zoh in midang nih an tah ve te lai caah kan nihzong a nungmi casual ka si nak hna nundawh le nun thiang hlim in Pathian bia cu phur hna u sih ti ah sawm kan duh hna. Kan Bawipa deihnak le velngeihnak cu na cung ah um ko seh.

Na Ti A Hal Ve Maw?
By
Zing Doi

Bible caang Thim : John 4: 1-27

@ John 4: 9 “Nang cu Judah mi na si kei Samaria mi ka si..” Sorry

@John 4: 11 “ Bawipa ti thannak thawl ka ngeih tung lo” No !

@John 15: “Bawi pa ti cu ka pe law ti hal in um ti hlah ning” Yes, Sir!

Bia domhnak:

Jesuh le Samarianu chunglai cing ling te i, mi um lo nak Jocob ti khur i ton hi mi caihawk tein an um. Samaria nu hi hlawhhlangnu si hoi kaw a poi khun. Jesuh nih a hal mi le a chimi bia kha fawi tein minu a pom duh lo. Mi lung thawng ngainu asi rua. Jesuh nih lung sau in dawtnak bia tak cu a chimh peng. Jesuh zong mi lung thawng ngai a si ve. Lung thawng le lungthawng an i tong. Samaria nu nih “sorry, no” a ti lengmang nain Jesuh nih “Sorry, no” tiah a chimh chih peng ve. A dongh nakah minu nih “Yes Sir” a van ti i , Jesuh nih “ Yes, Ok” a ti ve( tu chan holh in). “Vawlei ti” sitiloin “ Nunnak ti” kong an ceih cang. Lung hrin naklam in lunglomh nak lam ah an leng ti cang. Thlarau ti rawl an i hrawm.

Baichung:Hi hmantlak nih hin zumtu hna nun ah a kan cawn piak tiah ka ruah pa 2 a um.

1.Lungsau in dawtnak a langh ter peng tu cu tei-tu an si tawn .

Jesuh nih Samaria nu hi lungsau tein a cawn piak peng. Mi nu hi mi lung thawng ngai sikaw, fawi tein ‘Yes’ ati duh lo. Sihmenhsehlaw, Jesuh nih dawtnak cu a langh ter peng ko. Minu nih Jesuh lungsau dawtnak cu a tei ti lo. A dawghnak ah cun a lung a tleng. A mit a dei “ Bawipa ti cu ka pe law , hi ka ah ra than ti hlah ning” a ti. Lungsau hi tertu hna nun asi. Cu nun cu nangmah le keimah ca zongah a si kho ve.

Voi khat ah Pastor pa khat pa khual a tlawng. Lampi ah Damiah pawl nih lam an kham i“na ngeih mi tangkaa vial te kan pe” an ti. Saya pa nih lunglawm tein a pek hna i, damaih pawl cu an kal. Tlawmpal an kal ah Pastor pa nih cun a hei auh than i, an rak kir than. “Nan kal khawh khan ka zal ka van i dap i, tangkaa fang 5 ka zal ah ka hmuh than. I lak rih uh a ti hna i a pek than hna. Damaih pawl cu an khua ruah a har.P akhat le pathat an zoh. Cu bantuk mipa cu kan hmu bel lo an ti len. An lung ai tleng, an chuh mi vail te kha an pek than pat i, pastor pa cu an zulh. Lungsau -dawt nak hi Damiah hmenh nih an celh lo. Lungsau dawt nak nun hi “ Teitu Nun” a si.Jesuh nih Samaria nu kha cu nun cun a nun a tei. Lungsua mi cu tei tu an si tawn. AbrahamLincon cu thim nak ah voi 5 a sung. A lung a dong lo. A voi 6 nak ah USA president ah a cang.

2. Lungthawn hi a tha, lung khon tu a tha lo.

Lungthawn le lungkhon hi a dang. Lungkhong mi cu an mah ruah ning lawng in an kal. Ahman le hman lo an tuak lo, anmah duhmi le ruahmi poh a hman bik ah an ruah.An pah chih, an tlu, an tho than ti kho lo.

2.1.Lungthawn hi a tha. Lungthawng mi nih tei nak an hmuh tawn.Lung khon tu a tha lo. Bible ah :-

*Absolom cu a pa David nih dawtnak tein a leem peng ko nain, a lung a thum duh lo. A pa cu a doh peng. Ni khat cu kuhthingkung ah a sam in a thlai rehruah ko.Fei in an nolh chih. Lung khon cu thih nak a si.

* Judah Iscariot cu Jesuh nih nem te in a cawn piak ko nain a co hlang duh lo.Zeiah a rel ter lo. A mah tu nih Jesuh kha a cawn piak. A Bawi pa cu a zuar. Hri in a awk beh. Lung khon cu lohtlau nak si.

2.2. Lung thawn cu a tha. Tei tu an si tawn.

* Peter cu mi lungthawng a si. A ral a tha. Jesuh a tlai tu pa pakhat a hnakhaw khan am in a sah. Simenhsehlaw, Jesuh nih a van sik ah cun a con diam. Voi khat le bang Jesuh nih a mit in a siik i “ a tap ruang mang” khah. A zumh nak a der caan a um, Jesuh mithmai a zoh peng, a dongh nak ah tei tu a si.

Baitlang Kawm:

Jesuh nih kan nih zong Samaria nu bang bia a kan ruah tawn. “Nunnak ti” a kan offer lengmang. Samaria nu a fimnak cu a ti hal ai theih kha si.Samarianu uar aum nak cu mi cu “nunnak ti” a ngei tu a theih khawh kha si. Cunak in lunglom khun a si cu “ nunnak ti” ngei tu pa a hal duh nak lung thin kha si. Nang na ti a hal ve maw?.
