Thihnak, Pathian zohkhenhnak le hninh khawh lomi tehte sinak

Gen 49:29-32; 50:15-26a; Salm: 104; Mt 10:24-33

Khrih ah dawtmi Unau hna, nihin ah, kan nunnak a hrampi a tawngmi a thukmi tlangtar hna kha kan ruah ṭhan lai: Thihnak, Pathian zohkhenhnak le Hninh khawh lomi Tehte. Cathiang cahmai hna ah, nunnak ah a fiang lomi thil hna lakah hnemhnak le lamhruainak a kan petu tuanbia rumro kan hmuh. Genesis 49 le 50 ah langhtermi Jakob a lung a fahtermi thlahnak in thawk hna u sih. Hika ah Jakob i a donghnak duhnak, a chungkhar caah ruahchannak tehte kha thihnak a ton lio hmanh ah kan hmuh. A fapale kha biakamnak ram ah vui dingin a fial hna, thihnak cu donghnak a silo nain Pathian biakamnak innka a si ti theihternak a si. Jacob i zumhnak nih thlan cu a lonh, atu kan harnak lenglei zoh awk le Pathian zumhtlak sinakin a khatmi hmailei kha hmuh awkah a kan forh.

Cun hlennak hmai ah Khrih bantuk ngaihthiamnak a langhtermi Joseph he kan i tong. A unau hna nih an tuah sualmi kha Joseph nih lehrulhnak kawl loin velngeihnak le remdaihnak a karhter. A tuanbia nih ngaihthiamnak cu tuahsernak sawhsawh si loin Pathian tinhmi he aa tlakmi Pathian ruahnak a si ti kha a kan cawnpiak. Kanmah nunnak ah, ngaihthiam khawh lomi ngaihthiam awkah auh kan si caan hna kha kan ton men lai. Joseph i zohchunhawk kha philh hlah u sih law dawtnak he lehrulh awkah i thim hna u sih, kan fahnak kha ṭhawnnak ah thlen hna u sih.

Matthai Thawngtha kan hun zoh tikah, Zultu sinak man le ralthatnak kha kan i cinken. Zultu cu a saya nakin a sang deuhmi an um lo tiah Jesuh nih a kan chimh. Kanmah zumhnak lam kan ruah tikah hi biatak nih hin thukpi in a kan hninh. Harnak kan ton hmanh ah, Thawngtha kan phuannak ah tihnak ngei loin, a fekmi tehte si dingin kawh kan si. Jesuh nih pithlung bantukin santlailo kan si tiah kan ruah hmanhah a kan Sertu nih a kan hngalh i a kan sunsak ti kha a kan zumhter. Hihi “Sparrow Faith- pithlung zumhnak” tiah ka timi a hrampi cu a si—lungretheihnak le lunghrinhnak lakah Pathian zumh. Cun mipi sin tehte khannak zong kha lungtlinlonak um loin kan cohlan a hau. Kan zumhnak langhter a duh lomi vawlei ah, kan zumhnak ah fek tein dir dingin auh kan si. Hihi pumpak khualtlawnnak sawhsawh a si lo; kan zumhnak kha raltha tein nunpi awkah zapi auhnak a si. Kan nunnak cu hremnak cungah Pathian zohkhenhnak a langhtermi tehte an si. Hninh khawh lomi tehte bantukin kan dir tikah, midang caah lam kan ceuter, muihnak hmun ah Khrih ceunak kan langhter.

Cucaah, hi cawnnak hna hi nifatin kan nunnak ah zeitindah kan hman? Pakhatnak ah, Pathian biakamnak le tinhmi lei ah aa hngat zungzalmi Zungzal GPS he kan nun a hau. Hi hmuhning nih hin nunnak hneksaknak le harnak hna kha a kan bawmh, kan khualtlawnnak cu Pathian kut nih a kan hruai ti kan hngalh. A hnuah, a si kho lomi a lo hmanhah ngaihthiam awkah ralṭhatnak kan ngeih awk a si. Cutin tuahnak thawngin kanmah le kanmah kan i luatter lawng si loin kan pawngkam vawlei cungah Pathian velngeihnak zong kan langhter. A donghnak ah, Sparrow zumhnak kha tuah hna u sih. Lungretheih caan ah, kan Pathian nih a kan zohkhenh i a kan zohkhenh ti kha philh hlah u sih. Mipi hmai ah tehte kan khan tikah, Khrih ah kan ngeihmi ruahchannak kong tehte kan khan, midang kha anmah nunnak ah Amah kawl awkah thazaang kan pek hna.

Hawidawt hna, thihnak, Pathian zohkhenhnak le hninh khawh lomi kan tehte khannak kong kan ruah tikah thazaang la hna u sih. Kan zumhnak ah, thlan lenglei ruahchannak, ngaihthiamnak cu Pathian ruahnak a si, cun harnak hmai ah fek tein dir khawhnak thazaang kan hmuh. Nihin ah ralthatnak le dawtnak he kan zumhnak nunpi awkah ralthatnak he chuak hna u sih. Amen.

St. John Chrysostom cu Matthai 10:28:

“Zeicahdah thihnak cu kan ṭih lai, kan ramlei kalnak a si, sualnak lawng kha ṭih ko, zeicahtiah Pathian sinin a kan dawi!”
