A hmasa-in, Thupuan 2:12-17 ilo chhiar hmasa ta ila…“Nimahsela, tlemin demna che ka nei, khata Balaama zirtirna thu pawm tute emaw in awmpui avang khan; ani chuan milem biakna sa an eina tur leh an inngaihna turin Balaka chu Israela thlahteho hmaah tlukna dah a zirtir kha…………”
He Bible chang hi, Lal Isuan, Kohhran pasarih te zinga pakhat, Pargamos kohhran tana a sawi a ni tih kan hre fur awm e. Pargamos khaw hming a ni ve na chungin, a awmzia chu ‘inneihna’ tih emaw ‘inpumkhatna’ tihna a ni mai a. Kohhran leh Kristiante ni chung reng siin, Lal Isua hi engti takin nge kan lo phatsan theih le…. i han thlir teh ang.!!
Balaama chanchin hi, Numbers bung 22 – 31 inkarah khan kan hmu a. Balaama chu Jentail mi a ni a, engtiziaa Pathianin zawlneia ruat nge a nih kan hre-ril lemlo. Pathian hnam thlan Israel mipuite chuan an chhehvel a mite an hneh zel mai si a. Balaka ram an rawn hnaih tial tial mai si a, Balaka hlau chuan Balaama a pun ta a. Zawlnei i ni a, Israel mipuite hi anchhia lawh teh khai” tiin sum tamtak a phalrai ta mai a…….
(A tawi zawngin…..) Balaama chuan Balaka pawisa alo lak tawh si avangin engmah tihsak loh chu nuam a ti lova, tichuan a ruka thil tih dan tur a duang chhuak ta a ni. Moab hmeichhiate chu Israel mipuite hnaia awm turin a ruahman a. Tichuan Moab hmeichhe hmeltha tak tak te chu, Israel tlangval te chuan anlo nep zo ta lo va, anlo inneih pawlh ta a.
Anlo inneih takah chuan heng moab hmeichhiate hian an thuam chhawm te zingah, Pathianin a duhloh em em “an milemte” an rawn chhawm tel zel avangin Israel mite chu inngaihna sualah an tlu mai ni lovin, milem biakna sualah an lo tlu ta a. Pathian thinurna avangin Israel mi 24,000 thah an ni ta….Bung 31ah, khang thil zawng zawng kha Balaam ruahmanna vek a ni tih kan hmu leh a…Thupuan ah Balaama zirtirna chu Lal Isuan a dem/duhloh thu kan hmu ta zel a ni.
Pathianthu-in, “Ringlo mite nen rual lo taka nghawngkawl bat dunin awm suh u; suahsualna leh felnain engnge intawmna an neih? A nih loh leh thim leh engin engnge inpawlna an neih?…..

Keini zawng Pathian nung biakin kan ni si; Pathianin, ‘Anmahniah ka awm ang a, Anmahniah ka leng bawk ang; Tin, an Pathian ka ni ang a, nni pawh ka mite an ni ang,’ a tih ang khan.Chuvangin, ‘An zing ata lo chhuak ula, Ahrangin awm rawh u, Thil bawlhhlawh reng reng pawh dek suh u,’ Lalpan a ti, chutichuan, ‘Ka lawm ang che u a, In tan Pa ka ni ang a, Nangni pawh ka tan fanu fapa in ni ang,’ Lalpa Engkimtitheia chuan a ti, “Chutichuan, duh takte u, chung thutiam chu kan neih avangin, tisa leh thlarau bawlhhlawhna zawng zawngah i intifai ang u, Pathian tih dek chunga thianghlimna tifamkimin.” 2 Kor 6:14-19)
Kan hriat theuh angin, Kohhran awmzia chu koh chhuahte (Ecclessia), pawl inpumkhat satliah nilo, khawvel mi ni lo, Lapa tan liau liau a, a hrang a koh chhuah, Pathianin khawvel lak ata a ‘kohhran’, a ma ‘fa’ a a vuah, kristaa hnam thar a din, ‘vankhua leh tui nihna nei te’ an ni. Balaam zirtirna chu khawvel leh kohhran indaidanna tichhiat a ni a, a rah chhuah chu milem biakna a ni.
Kan thil hmuhmaih leh palzam chi hauh lo chu, sum um avanga – khawvel nena inthianna in a hrin chhuah chu milem biakna hi a ni. He thil pahnih a dah kawp hi thil mak tak a ni. Korinth thawn khatah khan he thil pahnih hi a sawi kawp tawh bawk a. Khawvel (Tisa) thilah pawh he thil pahnih hi Pathian huat zawng a ni a, thlarau lamah pawh hian he thil pahnih hi Pathian huat zawng tho a ni. Jakoba 4:4 ah khan he thu bawk, “khawvel thian nihna hi Pathian hmelma nihna a ni tih in hre lo vem ni?” tih thu kan hmu leh a ni. Khawvel nena inpumkhatna leh inneihna chu Pathianin a duhlo hul hual a. Sum pawh hi Pathian dona bawk a ni.
“Pathian leh sum rawng in bawl kawp thei love” (Mat 6:24). Mihring chuan a pakhat zawk zawk rawng abawl a ngai….lum si lo vawt silo…Lal Isuan a duh hek lo.. Setana Krista dotu a ni a, tisa chuan Thlarau Thianghlim a do a, khawvel leh sum chuan Pa Pathian an do a ni. Khawvel chuan Pa a do va.
