~ Prof Lal Dena, VIRTHLI Columnist

Chang thlang: I naupang leiin tu khawmin ngainep naw raw hai se che. Thuhril kawnga dam, chetziea dam, hmangaihnaa dam, ringnaa dam, thienghlimnaa dam ringtuhai entawn tlak ni ngei rawh. I Tim.4:12.

Ei hriet seng angin Timothe hi eini ang bawka thalai, Tirko Paula inzin velnaah a kaiza vengtu le kohran thuoitu ringum a nih. Tirko Paula khawmin a ringzo a; la naupang hle sienkhawm ringtu dang hai hmu hawihah role model (entawn tlak) ni sien a nuom a. Ei chang thlang dungzuia Timothe’n a zawm ding Tirko Paula’n thatnazie paruk a tarlang hai a bat batin zuk suih ei tih.

Tirko Paula chun “kei mi entawn ro, kei khawma Krista ka entawn angin a ti ngam a. Eini Thalaihai le Kohran thuoituhai hin “keini mi entawn ro” ei ti ngam ve ding a nih. Thuoitu hrim hrim chu thuoia umhai entawn tlak (role model) a ni ding a nih. Thuoitu nina hi thuneina chelekna ding le insuklalna ding a ni nawh. Tirko Peter khawmin hieng hin a lo ziek a: “In enkawlhai chungah insuklal naw unla, an entawn tlakin um lem ro” tiin. Hi thudik hi a tha ie tia tiem le ngai liem mei mei ding a ni nawh. Zawm ngei ding le ei nunah mi tiem thei dingin hma ei suk lang ding a nih.

1. Pathien mi ni dinga insawizawi:

Mi entawn tlak ni ding chun mi hmu naw kar Pathien mi dinga lo insawizawi hrep a tul. Greek mihai thupui chu “a sound mind in a sound body” ti a nih. Taksa hriselah lungril hrisel a um. Chu umzie chu taksa a hrisel naw chun lungril a hrisel thei nawh tina a nih. Kei khawm mihriem dana kum 76-a upa ka ni mek a. Natna le buoina pumpel thei lo a um ngawt naw chun zingtin darkar khat vel walking ka nei zie hlak. Lekha kan chuk tana inthawka ka motto chu “Early to bed, early to rise” a nih. Tuta tuma kan zin khan Pune University Sociology Department-ah Head of Department-nu kuoamah ka kum indik tak ka hril a, ka kum le inphu loin naupang a mi ti mani ding: what is the secret of your youth? t’n a mi’n dawn a. Kei chun mi theida hril le thaw ka tum nawh a, romantic music (English, Hindi le Mizo/Hmar) nitin ka ngaithlak hlak a; tuktin walking ka nei zie bawka ti’n ka dawn a. Nanga inthawkin inchuk ding ka nei ve an ta chu ti’n a mi dawn let a. Ringtu nun le inhme chu inhma taka zala tho a nih. Isu Krista khawm kha khuontevik, vartien laia tho hlak a nih. Chun, hrisel ding chun taksa insawizawi hi thaw makmaw a nih. Chuleiin Tirko Paula chun “Pathien mi ni dingin insawizawi rawh. Taksa sawizawi hi iemani chenah a tangkai ngei a, sienkhawm Pathien ngaisak mi ni hi iengkimah a hlu lem a, hi dam sung nun le la hung um dinga thil tangkai a nih” tiin. Pathien ngaisak mi ni dinga taksa le lungril sawizawi chu mi entawn tlak nina dinga zie pawimaw pakhat a nih.

2. Thuhril kawnga:

Hi taka thuhril a ti hi biekin le inkhawmna a thuhril (sermon) chauh ni loin tawng dan hrim hrim khawm a huopsa. Thalaihai chu ei tawng dana khawm mi entawn tlak ei ni ding a nih. Tawng mawi, tawng khuoizu le hringna ram tawnghai hi uor ei tiu. Tu khawm a tha famkim ei um nawh. Amiruokchu mi sietna nekin an thatna chauh hril uor lem ei tiu. Mi dem ngai nawng ei tiu. Isu Krista’n mi a dem ngai nawh; kawk ruok chu a kawk hlak. ‘Chu pa, chu nu chu a va tawng tla hawl de’ mi ti dingin um nawng ei tiu. Tawng dan, thuhril dana mawi takin mi entawn le kawpi tlakin tawng ei tiu. Thuvar chun, “I bau suok dungzuiin khawp I ta, I hmur suok ra zirin tlaih i tih. Lei hin damna le thi theina a pai a, I hmang dan angin a ra sik i tih” a lo ti a (Thuvar 18:20-21). Hmar thuvar khawmin “Tawngbau tha’n siel a man”a lo ti kha. Tawng mawi hmang ei zuk ti hin, lungrila um lo pui, a mawi zawnga hmur Pharisai hmang ding ei tina a ni nawh. Tirko Paula chun Tita khawm hieng hin an fui a: “Thalaihai khawm mani inthunun dingin infui tawl rawh.Thil iengkimah an entawn dingin thil tha thaw sukhmu la, i zirtirnaah i ringum zie le titakzie inentir rawh. Tawngkam mawi, sawisel bo hmang hlak la, chuongchun a khingtuhai che chun demna ding che hre nawng an ta, inzak letling lem hiel an tih”(Tita 2:6-8). Chuleiin ei tawng kam suok chu a mawiin ngai an hawih ding a nih.

3. Chetzieah:

Nungchang hi iemani chen thup thei a nih a, ei chetzie ruok hi chu thup thei a nih nawh. Chetzie ti hin um dan, khawsak dan le nungchang a huom vawng a. Koreahai film ei en zing zinga, hawihhawmna (etiquette) an ngai pawimaw em em. Mi thil an pek hrim hrim chun changtieng kutring kha vawitieng kutin an chel hlak. Mi thilpek an dawng hrim hrim chun kut khing hni ngeiin an lak bawk hlak. Basic courtesy hai hi ei hriet a pawimaw. Mi’n ‘How are you?’ an ti chun ‘Fine, thank you’ ei ti ding a nih. Ei insim chun ei kawla um hai kuomah ‘excuse me’ ei ti hlak ding a nih. A thei phawt chun mi ei intuokpui pha a hun izirin Good morning, Good afternoon, Good evening, etc., ti hlak ei tiu. French mihai thilching mawi ka ti em em pakhat chu hi hi a nih: hmelhriet le hmelhriet naw khawm mi an intuokpui taphawt chu ‘bonjour’ an ti hlak. Chun, mi mi biekna ei hriet thiem naw pal chun “I beg your pardon” ei ti hlak ding a nih. Ni khat chu Rengkai khuoa mi in a leng dinga ka fe lai ruo a hung sur thut a. Ka tawp el ding a ni leiin, hmel hriet lo in pakhatah, “In ina hung chawl vak thei ka tim? ka ti a, an inro naw hle; thingpui dam mi siempek an tum hiel. Phone-in an biek che chun, nangin suktawp ngai naw rawh. A betu che suktawp nghak lem rawh. Chun, a betu che intawngtir la, a hriet nuomhai chauh hril rawh. A hung biek lei chein, a tawpa ‘Thank you for calling..’ ti hlak rawh. Hawihhawm dan hi hril ding a tam, hun danga la hril lem ei tih. Eini ringtuhai Krista entawntuhai lem hi chu ei chet dan kawng iengkima mi entawn tlak le a tha tak sukhmutu ding hai ei nih.

4. Hmangaihnaah:

Hmangaihnaa mi entawn tlak ni chu awl awm fu, intak tak a nih. A hmasa’n hmangaihna zie (characteristic) ei hriet a tul. Iengtin am Bible-in a mi hril a? I Kor.13:4- zuk tiem ei tih: Hmangaihna chu a dawthei a, hmangaihna chu a ngilnei. Hmangaihna chun a thik nawh a, mani inpak a thaw ngai nawh. Hmangaihna chu a chapo nawh a, mawi naw takin a chang ngai nawh a, mani hma a siel nawh a, a lung a sen mei mei nawh. Hmangaihna chun mi thawsuol a’n chik zing nawh a, suol a lawm nawh a, thutak ruok chu a hlimpui hlak. Hmangaihna chun a hliekhu tlat a, a ringzo tlat a, a beisei tlat a, iengkim a tuor muolsuo hlak.

Thalaihai hi nuhmei-pasal la’n zawng ding vawng ei nih. Kum khat lai khan ei Thalai Day-a Life Partner thlang dan ei hril ta kha theinghil nawng ei tiu. Nunghak-tlangval inhmangaihna kawnga entawn tlak nia ka ngai chu Mizo hlaphuok thiem Pu Vankhama a nih. Hmangaihna hla I Kor,13-na tuta ei zuk tiem zo char besanin hla a phuok a, a thunawna tlar hnina chauh zuk la dawk ei tih: “Ka thai chang mah loh la, Hmangaih, lung i dum phawt chuan lawm zel tang e” a ti thei chu! A va heih inthuk veng veng de aw! A ngaizawngnu chu chang phak naw sienkhawm, a lungawina tak pasal dang a va neinaa khawm khan a lawm thei a ni chu! Keiin ka chang naw chun, dam bik naw nih ti dam hi hmangaihna a ni nawh. Hmangaihna suklangna ding chu nunghak tlangval karah chauh naw khawm, thangpui ngai hai thangpui, rethei le pasiehai chungah khawm entawn tlaka suklang hi ei mawphurna a nih.. Thilpek kawngah: “I thaw thei thil a ni phawt chun, Mamawhai pek di’n, I thiltha nei, Inro ngai hrim hrim naw rawh. Nuoma i pek thei zing si, ‘Zingah hung la, peng ka ti che’ i tuolbawm kuomah ti naw rawh” (Thuvar 3:27=28). Hmangaihna chu ei thuom anga ei inbelna ding a nih. Thuvar bawkin, “Hmangaihna le ringumnahai, Inthla ngai hrim hrim naw la, I ringah hli zing hlak la, I lungril phekah ziek rawh. Pathien le mihriemhai lakah, Ditsakna le hmingtha hlawng I tih” a tih (Thuvar 3:3-4).

5. Ringnaah:

Ei thuringa pawimaw tak hai laia pakhat chu ringna hi a nih Thalaihai! ei ringnaah hin ei nghet tawk am aw? Thaw thei ruol loa inlang khawm ringna’n thaw thei a nih ti dam ei sak hlak a. Josepha tawnhriet hi ka ngaituo nawn hlak a. A unauhai sukrimsitna, lungina an tang sung dam khan, Pathien kuomak tawngtai hlak a ta. Kum tam tak kha dawnna khawm hmu loin a um a hawih. A Pathien khawm “Lalpa ni ta loin, Topa” a ni ta lem hiel. Ringna hrat a va tul de aw! Daniel le a ruolhai ringna dam. Ringnaa mi huoisenhai chanchin Hebrai 11-naah khawm khan ei hmuh. Lusun nau ka ni zie ka hang hrietchieng zuol chang hin, ka ringna sirbi hi an phet vang vang hlak. Sienkhawm, ei ringna bulpui le sukfamkimtu Isu chu en tlatin, ringtu danghai entawn tlak ringna nghet suklangtu ding hai chu ei nih.

6. Thienghlimna kawngah:

Thienghlimna tak tak hi ringtuhai le thalaihai nunah hi a va pawimaw lawm lawm de!. Thuhriltu chun hieng hin a lo ziek a: “Thalaihai, vanglai chenin, In lungril chu hlim raw se. In lungril nuom zawng zuiin, In thaw nuom chu thaw ro, Sienkhawm in thaw ang peiin, Pathien khawmin in chungthu, Rel a tih ti hre zing ro” Thuhriltu 11:9). Nuom nuom thaw a thieng a, nuom thaw ruok chu a tha kher nawh. A bikin nunghak-tlangval lai nun zalen taka chen thei a nih. Western society-ah lem chu zu dawn le inrui thei thil thaw baka, sex hmang khawhlona a nasa bek bek. Nunghak thienglam (virgin) an vang tah. Nunghak tlangval chu insaih ding ei nih. Amiruokchu, innei hmaa nupa nun hmang ruok chu suol a nih. Mirawnghai Pathien thuawi dan tha ka ti ngei zaawm thei ve inla chu.. Hmuonsawm, hmer leh hmuor – kuva, khaini, lekhazuol hawple zu dawn hrim hrim chu ringtua an zel naw tawp. Seventh Day Adventist-hai lem chun Department of Temperance (taksa inhawihtirna tienga insumtheina) a hran tawpin an neih. Hi taksa hmu thei hi Pathien in, Thlarau THienghlim chengna a nih a, vawng thiemhlim a tul. I Kor.6:12-20 hi zuk tiem nawk vawng ro leh. Hi lai changah hai hin thienghlimna nun ei kengkaw dan ding a mi hril chieng hle. Chuleiin, thalaihai hi mi entawn tlak sungtieng le puotieng nuna thienghlimna nun kengkaw hi a nih. Hi hi hril nam thei (negotiable) a ni nawh.

Krista thil chu mi’n entirin.
