Pathian ih Siter In Duhmi Nun Daan

1 Thessolon 5:16-18

Michael Jackson ih thihnak thu ka ruah sal tikah riah tla a sia ih zaang a fak zet. Milian le mi hmin thang zet a si. Asinan, zaan a it thei lo tuk ih, ih a duh tuk ruangah nurse a hlanmi nu kha ih theinak si a phunphun a dil. Netabik cu, cu pawl khal in an ihthah ter thei lo ruangah, lunghlo sii (meh sii) I pe aw tiah a dil. Cunu cun, lunghlo sii ka lo pek hnu ah tho nawn hlah awla ziang na tuah ding a ti ih a pe duh lo. Michael Jackson cun a vaansan tuk ah Dr. Murray a hlang ih lunghlo sii than ding a dil. Cuih Doctor pa cun, a pek ih Michael Jackson cu a it that. Tawkfang cun, a thaw a sam ciamco ih a rei hlaan ah tho nawn lo in a thi lan ta.

U le nau pawl, zaan ihhmu thaw teih ihthah thei hi lei tlun sumpai in a lei thei lo sokhaw. Pathian zaangfahnak ruangih kan donmi thluasuah liolio a si. Na ihthah thei tikah lungawi thu na sim dah maw?

1 Thessolon 5:16-18 sungah Pathian in siter in duhmi nun daan pathum lo ruah ka duh:

1.     Lungawi ringring uh (1 Thess 5:16) Zumtu pawl kan lungawi ringring ding hi Pathian in in duhsakmi a si. Sumpai nan neih tik lawngah, nan damcah tik lawngah in ti lo. Lungawi ringring uh tiah in ti. Curuangah, lei tlun thilri le sersiammi minung le thilri zoh in nan lungawi uh tiah in timi cu a si hrimhrim lo ding ti a fiang. Ziangtin kan lungawi ringring thei ding? Amah Pathian thawn kan pawlkom awk ringring lawngah, Pathian hnen ih a rami lungawi hnangamnak thawn kan khat ding ih kan lungawi ringring thei ding. Ziangtin Pathian thawn kan pawlkom aw ding? Pathian ih duhmi hawlnak tuahnak thawn kan pawlkom aw ringring ding. Ziangtin kan hawl ding? Thlacamnak, Bible siarnak, le zumtu dang pawl thawn pawlkomawknak in kan hawl ding. Zumtu dang thawn pawlkomawk ti tikah, khawm tlaangnak khal in si thei, anmah minung rori thawn khal a si thei, an cabu nganmi siarnak khal in pawlkomawknak kan neih ding a thupi zet. Cuti in Pathian in anmah hmang in a duhmi in theih ter sin ding a si.

2.     Thlacam ringring uh (1 Thess. 5:17). Thlacam cu Pathian thawn pawlkomawk khi a si. Pathian thawn pawlkomawk tikah mitsing ringring cun kan um thei lo ding. Thlacam ringring uh in ti tikah, a sim duhmi cu:

a.     Ziangkim kan tuah tikah, Pathian kha ka lo rinsan; lam I hruai aw; ka nunnak ka lo hlan tiah kan ti ringring dingmi hi a si. Thlarau lam pa pakhat in, “Kei cu ka hnatuan a tam deuhdeuh le ka thlacam a tam deuhdeuh” tiah a ti. Asim duhmi cu hna pakhat a tuan zik tinte, Pathian hnen ah, “Bawipa himi hna ka tuan thlang ding, nangmah in a tha na ti bang in I hruai aw” tiah a ti ringring.

b.     Pathian in a lo umpi ringring timi khal cing ringring aw.

c.     Pathian na duh daandaan in lam I hruai aw; na duhmi lawng ka tuah ding tiah ti ringring aw.

d.     Pathian ka hrangah a thabik nangmah in na thei ih, I ret sak ti ka thei tiah lungawi thu sim in, na duhmi khal dil ko aw. Zumnak thawn Bawipaih puanzim a thamtu thisen kum 12 dok nu parah Bawipaih huham damnak a suak. Elijah in zumnak thawn ruahsur lo ding ih thla a cam tikah, kum thum sung ruah a sur lo. Zumnak thawn thla a cam sal tikah, kum 3 sung ruah a sur sal kha cing ringring uh. Nan dilmi nan ngah lo tik khal ah bei dong duh hlah. Pathian in na hrangah a tha bik a thei.

3.     Lungawi thu sim ringring aw (1 Thess 5:18). Thil tha lo kan tonmi ruangah lungawi thu sim uh in timi a si lo. Zumtu cun, hi famkim lomi leiram ih kan um sungah harsatnak hi leilung le leimi pawl in in pe ding. Asinan, Pathian in kan hrangah ziangkim hi a thabik in khua in khansak thotho ih, himi harsatnak sung khal in ka hrangah a tha bik in a remsal thotho ding timi thei in lungawi thu sim ding sawn kan si (Rom 8:28).

Ebenezer: Lamtluan ah Bawipa in in Bawm

1 Sam 7:3-14

Tongfam simfiangnak:

Ebenezer timi tongfang hi Hebrew tongfang pahnih a kommi a si ih, r‰zEoDh_NRbRa Eben Haezer ti a si ih, a sullam cu Bomnak Lungto (stone of the help) tinak a si. Himi lung phun a phuntu hi Puithiam Samuel a si. Ziangtik ah an phun? Bawipaih bomnak in an ral, Filistinmi pawl an neh sun ih a phunmi a si. Ziangah a phun? “Bawipa kan lamtluanah in bawm” timi theih hngilh lonak dingah Mizpah le Jeshanah timi khua karlak ah a phun (1 Sam. 7:12).

A thuanthu um daan:

Filistine pawl in Israel pawl do ding in Mizpah timi khua kiangah an feh. Israel pawl cu an thin a phang tuk ziangahtile Filistine pawl cu an cak tuk ih an hlan an doawk khal ah aan sung dah zo. Curuangah, an tih zet. Cutikah, an puithiam Samuel hnen ah an feh ih Bawipaih hnen ah Filistin pawl ih kut sungih kan thih theh lonak ding thla in cam sak aw tiah an dil.

Ral neh thei dingah tuah a tulmi pawl:

Puithiam Samuel in hitin thu a cah. Nan ral pawl neh dingah cun, himi pawl tuah hmaisa uh tiah thu a cah. A cahmi kan zoh tikah, Filistin ral, leenglam ral hnak in sunglam ral a simmi Pathian dangdang ih va biak, va rian khi tih a nung deuh tiah a sim. Curuangah, Filistin nan ral pawl neh dingah a tanglam pawl hi tuah ta uh tiah a fialmi 1 Sam. 7:3 sungah kan hmu thei:

1.     “Nan thinlung zate thawn Pathian hnen ah kirsal uh.” Kan thinlung ih kan duhmi le ruahmi hi kan nun daan in uktu a si. Curuangah, nitin in hmailam ih kan nor thei sinnak dingah kan tuah hmaisabik a tulmi cu kan thinlung le ruahnak hrimhrim sungah Pathian lungawi ternak thu le hla lawnglawng ruat in a duhmi tuah ding lawng a ruattu kan si hmaisabik a tul. Na thinlung zate thawn Pathian hnen na kir sal le sal lo ziangtin na check aw thei ding?

2.     Pahnihnak ah, “nan lak ih a ummi ramdang pathian pawl, milem pawl kha hlon theh uh.” Thinlung zate thawn Pathian hnenah kirsal timi cu kan milem pawl kan hlon theh a tul. Kan milem cu ziang pawl an si? Milem timi cu Pathian hnak ih thupi ih kan retmi tisa duhnak le duhhamnak pawl an si. Pathian duhmi hnak in ziangmisi aduh deuh? Cumi cu na milem a si. Cumi kha hlon aw. Minung tampi in kan milem pawl kan hlon duh tuk theu nan kan hlon thei lo. Cumi cu ziangtin kan hlon ding?

3.     Pathumnak ah, “Nan thinlung Bawipaih hnenah hersal uhla, Amah lawng rian uh.” Himi zawn ah thu pahnih Samuel in a fial. Pakhatnak ahcun, nan thinlung put kha Bawipaih hnen ah her uh, a pahnihnak cu a mah lawng rian uh. Kan milem pawl a simi tisa duhnak le Pathian duh lomi ziaza pawl hlon thei ding ahcun, kan tuahhmaisa a tulmi cu kan lungput le ruahnak pawl kha Pathian hnen ah kan hersal hmaisa a tul. Ziangtin kan her ding? Thlacamnak, Bible siarnak, le zumtu dang pawl thawn pawlkom aw in Biakinn ih khawmnak in kan thinlung cu Pathian hnen ah kan herkir sal thei a si. Cumi cu ziangah kan tuah? Pathian ih duhmi lawng hawl in a lungawinak lawng ruat ih kan um theinak dingah a si.

Israel pawl Pathian hnen an pan daan

1.     Israel pawl in Pathian tluk ih thupi ih an retmi milem ziangkim kha an hlon theh ih, Pathian lawng thupibik le a duhmi lawng tuah ding in an thinlung zate le an nunnak zate in an hlan aw (c. 4). An milem pawl lawng an hlon men lo. Ziangah an tuah?

2.     Rawl ul in Bawipaih hnen ah an sual an phuang (c. 6). Thlacamnak le milem hlonnak pawl hi a cem aw cih ringring. Milem a simi zuu maw, kuak maw, tisa duhnak dang maw na hlon tikah, cumi na ruah theunak thinlung kha Pathian thu ciah ter aw. Thlacamnak, Bible siarnak tam deuhdeuh na neih le, Pathian thawn tam deuhdeuh nan pawlkom aw tinak a si ih, a duhmi tam deuhdeuh in na thei ding. A thu tam deuhdeuh na ruah ahcun, cumi a thu in na nunnak a lo thianhlim ter sin ding.

Pathian ih mangbangza a thilti theinak a lang: 

1.     Pathian in khuari thawm thangzet le tektlak aw thawn philistine pawl cu a thuat ih, an lung a aa ter theh. An tangrual tlaang thei nawn lo c. 10). Pathian in Israel pawl ih ruahban lomi khuari aw in an ral pawl a thekdarh ter. Israel pawl ih Pathian cu kan Pathian a si ve. Kan Pathian cun kan ral pawl nehnak huham cu amah in a nei. Kan ral pawl hnak in a tum sawn ih a cak sawn. A duh ahcun, tuihsun khal ah amah in kan ral pawl a dawi hlo theh thei.  

2.     Israel pawl in an do ih, an neh (c. 11). Pathian ih a hnatuanmi kha Israel pawl khal in an bawm ih an do ve ti kan hmu. Pathian in nehnak in pe zo. Cumi nehnak cu la dingah hmai ih a nortu ding cu kanmah kan si. “Nan palmi leiram cu ka lo pe ding” tiah thu in kamtu a si (Daan 11:24).

3.     Israel pawl in an rak sun dahmi leiram pawl kha an la theh sal (cc. 13-14). Pathian hnen ah an thinlung an her sal ih, a duhmi lawng hawl in an tuah tikah, Israel pawl in an rak sunral zomi pawl hmuahhmuah an la sal theh a si. A hlan ah ziang na rak sungral dah? Sunlawinak, upatnak, damnak, le hnangamnak pawl na rak sungral pang maw? Phang hlah! Pathian hnen ih na kir ahcun Pathian in cu pawl khal a lo pe sal theh ding a si.

Lungawi thusimnak lungphun a phun:

Samuel in lungto pakhat a lak ih, lung a phun. A hmin ah, “Ebenezer” tiah a sak. A sullam cu “Pathian in kan lam tluanah in bawm” tinak a si. Pathian ih ttanpinak le umpinak hngilh lonak ah a tuahmi a si (c. 12).

Pathian ih sunlawinak huham cahnak kan nunnak ah kan hmuhton theinak dingah:

1.     Kan thinlung zate thawn Pathian lawng duhdawt sal uh si.

2.     Pathian lawng duhdawt timi cu Pathian ih duh lomi pawl hlon theh khi a si.

3.     Cumi tuah suak thei dingah cun, kan thinlung le ruahnak hrimhrim ah Pathian ih duhmi lawng hawl kan hawl a tul. Ziangtin kan hawl ding: Bible siarnak, thlacamnak, zumtu pawl thawn pawlkom awknak in kan hawl ding. Cuti in Pathian duhnak kan hmuhmimi kha kan nun in kan Pathian lungawi ter dingah kan tuah bet ding. Cutikah, Pathian ih sunlawinak huham cahnak cu kan mit rori in kan hmu dingih, lungawi thusimnak lungphun hi kan phun ve thei ding a si.

Extravagance

March 26, 2013 John 12:3–5 "Mary took a pound of costly perfume made of pure nard, anointed Jesus' feet, and wiped them away with her hair. The house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume. But Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples (the one who was about to betray him), said, 'Why was this perfume not sold for three hundred denarii and the money given to the poor?'" Anthony B. Robinson Even though John makes it pretty clear that Judas is not the good guy in this story, Judas does have a point. Sometimes extravagance is foolish, wasteful, and just wrong. Think of huge cars that get fourteen miles to a gallon. Or of sprawling McMansions for some when others have no home at all. Or the fancy restaurants where the bill for a foursome can exceed a thousand dollars. But there are times when extravagance is something other than foolish or wrong. There are times when extravagance is beautiful and beyond right. It's absolutely true. And this was apparently one, for Jesus defended Mary, saying, "Leave her alone . . . You always have the poor with you, but you do not always have me." What's the difference between extravagance that is foolish and just wrong, and extravagance that is beautiful and true? Mary's act was an act of worship. It wasn't about her. She had forgotten herself in love and devotion. On the other hand, and even though he professed concern for the poor, for Judas it was really all about himself. Acts of extravagance in which we lose or forget ourselves (which may include a beautiful home or meal for family and guests) are seldom wrong. But even acts of charity, when they are really only about us and how we will appear to others, are seldom right. Prayer God, grant us grace so to lose ourselves that we may be truly found. Amen.

Lungawi Thusimnak ih Huham Cahnak

By San No Thuan

America ah hin, November thla ih a zarh neta biknak tlawngkai nili ni hi rampi a cozah in lungawi thusim ni (thanksgiving day) tiah ni a khiah sak. Hi lungawi thusimnak ni ah zo pawl hnen ah lungawi thu kan sim ding ti hi thusuhnak tampi a um. Thu pahnih in tar langah ka duh. Zo pawl hnen ah lungawi thu kan sim ding? Lungawi thu ziangtin kan sim ding? Lungawi  thusim thiam cu thansonak a si zia pawl a tawi zawng in ngan ka duh.

 1. Zo pawl ih hnenah lungawi thu kan sim ding?

1. A pakhatnak ih lungawi thu kan sim dingmi cu nitin te lam in hruaitu le thluasuah in petu Pathian hnen ah lungawithu kan sim ding. Kan nunnak ah Pathian ih thluasuah in pekmi pawl siar salnak caan a si.
1. Na zalennak
2. Na neihmi sum le saw
3. Na fimnak le thiamnak
4. Na damnak
5. Na inn sungsang tvp….
2. Kan tlun ih thil tha a tuahtu pawl parah lungawi thu sim ding kan si.
1. Na nulepa
2. Na rualpi
3. Na unau, nupi, pasal
4. A lo bawmtu pawl tvp…

2. Lungawi thu ziang tin kan sim ding?

Lungawi thu kan sim daan cu kan mai duhmi hnak in an mai duhmi le tulmi zawng sawn in sim sehla, an lungawi a awi sawn ding. Caan tampi ah, innsaangnu in a duhmi cu innsaang thilri tha le mawi te’n um ding. Siiti le fang khopkham te in um ding. A birthday ah thil thar laksawng pakhat khat leisak ding. “Ka lo duh” tivek men hi an nih ih an ruahmi le theihtheimi duhdawtnak a si lo. Tuluk tong in na sim rero nan, an nih ih theihmi ttong cu Japan ttong lawng a si thei men. Amai theih ding zawn in lungawi thu kan simthiam a tul.

3. Lungawi thusim thiam cu thansonak ih hram a si.  

1. Lungawi thusim na thiam le bawm duhtu tam na nei sin ding. Lungawi thu na sim a si le na thinlung a nuam ding ih, midang khal an thinlung na nom ter sin a si. Thuthimnak ah, September 2008, Dallas khua ah ABC, USA in confernce an tuah ih ka va kai ve. Cu tawk ah thil mawi zet pakhat ka zir ngah. Second World War lai ah, Japan le American pawl an do awk ciamco ih, America ih ummi Japan pawl cu concentration camp ah American a cozah in a khum ih a hrem. Cui a hrem laifang ah mirang pastor hrek khat in an rak tuam hlawm ih an zoh tha zet. Cumi thu cu ABC,USA ih Asian Ministry lam kaitu Rev. Florence Li in mipi hmai ah lungawi thu a sim ih, a rak bawm dahtu mirang pawl kha laksawng peknak le sunloih upatnak a pek. Cumi lungawi thusimnak in a dang mirang pawl khal kha tulai fang ih a ra reromi refugee pawl bawm ding ah an thinlung a thangphawk ter a si. Curuangah lungawi thusim na thiam le na thangso sin ding.

2. Lungawi thusim na thiam le khui tik hman ah na vaivuan lo ding. Kawltong in auhchi luat, “sinak hngilh aw” tiah kan timi khi lungawi thusim thiam lo tu pawl an si. Lungawi thu sim kan thiam lo tikah, a tui’ kan dinhmun cu kan mah te ih ding thei le si thei vek ah kan ruat aw ih, kan thinlung cu a hung hngal ih a puarthau. Midang bom khal kan tum nawn lo ih, midang hrangah le Pathian hrangah mi santlai lo ah kan cang dah ta. Cumi si lo ding in, ni tin thlawsuah kan donmi hi Pahtian ta a si ti thei in, Pathian par ah le, Pathian in cui’ thlawsuah pawl pe ding ih a hmanmi minung pawl parah lungawi thu kan sim ringring a tul. Cu tikah, hmailam ah ziangtin ka feh ding timi fiang te in kan thei ih, mi vaivuan ah kan cang lo ding.
