Buainak chung i Pathian he i tonnak—Khual dawtnak, Sifahnak le A Herhmi Pakhat
Gen 18:1-10a; Salm: 14; Col 1:24-28; Lk 10:38-42
Khrih ah dawtmi unau nu hna, nihin ah kan khua hmun thianghlim ah kan i pum, cu hmun cu buainak nih Pathian he an i ton tawnnak hmun a si. Buainak in a khatmi vawlei thilnung rawhralnak le minung sermi ngaihchiatnak nih kan hrampi a hninh khawhmi vawlei ah kan nung . Sihmanhsehlaw hi buainak lakah hin, Pathian cu a thukmi lam in kan ton khawh. Nihin ah, khual dawtnak, sifah harnak le kan nunnak ah a herh taktakmi thil pakhat hmuhnak in Chaos (ပရမ်းပတာဖြစ်ခြင်း) chung i Pathian tonnak hna kha hlathlai hna seh ti ka duh. Genesis 18 chung tuanbia ah kan i mer hmasa lai, cuka ahcun Abraham cu Mamre ah kan hmuh. Hika ah, Pathian cu khual pathum muisam in a langhnak kan hmuh. Abraham nih Pathian a um ti a hngalh caah, khual dawtnak pek awkah a zam. Rawl a timhtuah i an ei lio ah a dir, khual dawtnak a langhter. Catholic Khrihfabu Catechism nih Pathian nih kanmah kha tihal bangin a kan hal, amah caah tihal ve hna seh ti a kan duh ti kha a kan theihter. Kan buainak caan ah, kannih zong hi khual dawtnak thianghlim hi tuah awkah auh kan si, Pathian nih kan nunnak ah a luh khawhnak hmun ser awkah.
Atu cu, Kolose 1 ah langhtermi tlanhnak intuarnak kong kha ruat hna u sih. Lamkaltu Paul nih Khrihfabu caah a intuarnak kong a chim, intuarnak nih thlennak a chuahter khawh ti kha a kan hmuhsak. Kanmah pumpak nunnak ah fahnak, sunghnak le ngaihchiatnak kan ton men lai. Asinain, Paul bantukin, kan intuarnak ah sullam kan hmuh khawh. Pathian le midang he a kan naihter khawhnak hnga kan awnh khawh. Hihi lam fawi a si lo; ralthatnak le zumhnak a herh. Asinain kan intuarnak kan cohlan tikah, Pathian he tonnak ah lam a si kho ti kha kan hmuh.
Luka 10 chung i Martha le Mary tuanbia kan ruah tikah, Jesuh a umnak kha lam dangdang in a lehrulhmi unaunu pahnih kan hmuh hna. Martha cu khual dawtnak rian ah a buai, Mary cu Jesuh ke pawngah a ṭhu i biafang kip kha a hngalh. Mithiang Ambrose nih Martha nih rianṭuannak a thim i Mary nih khamhnak a thim ti kha a kan theihter. Kanmah pumpak nunnak ah, ṭuanvo le lungretheihnak thlichia nih a kan tlaih tawn. Kannih zong Martha bantuk in kan um kho men, kannih cu nunnak nih a kan harh tuk caah kan rian a tam tuk. Asinain Jesuh nih nem tein thil pakhat a herh, cucu a umpinak kha a si tiah a kan theihter.
Nihin vawlei ah, buainak nih a kan kulh. Mangṭam le tilian ti bantuk thilnung rawhralnak nih rawhralnak a chuahter i ral le dinlonak ti bantuk minung nih a chuahtermi ngaihchiatnak nih kan lung a donghter. Hi caan hna ahhin, Martha nih a ngol lomi cawlcanghnak in a kangh sual lai timi tukforhnak kha ralrin tein kan um a hau. Vawlei nih a herhmi thil a rannak ah i tel cu a fawi. Dai tein lungrual tein fahnak a tongmi hna he ṭhut hmasa awkah Mary fimnak kha kan philh lo awk a si. Cutin tuahnak thawngin, damnak le remh ṭhannak a chuahter khomi vancung tonnak caah hmun kan ser.
Pumpak dirhmun in, lungretheihnak le ngaihchiatnak thilrit kan i phorh cio. Sarah nih fa ngeih lo hmanh ah Pathian nih biakamnak a tlinter ti a hngalh bantukin kannih zong kan harnak ah Pathian a um timi ruahchannak kha kan i tlaih khawh ve. A herhmi thil pakhat lawng a ummi cu Khrih biakamnak kha kan zumh awk a si. Harnak kan tonmi lakah, Amah sin ah dornak kan hmuh khawh.
Cucaah, kan nunnak ah Pathian umpinak kha zeitindah kan hmuh khawh lai? Pakhatnak ah, Abraham bantukin khual dawtnak kan ngeih awk a si. Cucu midang caah kan lungthin le kan inn kan hun, mi nih hmuh le sunsak an sinak pawngkam ser tinak a si. Hi zaangfahnak tuahsernak sawhsawh hna ahhin Pathian he kan i tong tawn. Pahnihnak ah, Paul bantukin sifah harnak thlen kan cawn a hau. Mah nih hin sifah harnak kha thilrit men in hmuhnak in ṭhanchonak caanṭha ah hmuhnak leiah kan hmuhning thlen aa tel. Kan intuarnak kha kan cohlan tikah Pathian he kan i naih deuhnak hnga le midang cungah zawnruahnak kan ngeihmi kha a thukter deuh. Pathumnak ah, Martha le Mary bantukin kan nunnak ah tlukruannak kan hmuh a herh. Cawlcanghnak a tuahmi kannih caah cun, Mary dinh caan tawite dinh ding philh hlah u sih. Caan tlawmpal thaw la law cu caante ahcun Bawipa nih kan sinin zeidah a herh tiah hal. Ruahnak ah aa hngatmi hna caah, tuahsernak auhnak kha philh hlah u sih. Kan pawngkam vawlei he pehtlaihnak tuah dingin kawh kan si, asinain thlacamnak le ruahnak ah hram aa bunhmi lungthin he kan tuah a hau.
A donghnak ah, dawtmi hawi le hna, kan nunnak buainak chung hmanh ah Pathian tonnak a um kho ti kha philh hlah u sih. Khual dawtnak thawngin Pathian cu kan lakah kan cohlan khawh. Sifahnak thawngin tlanhnak le tinhmi kan hmuh khawh. Cun a herhmi thil pakhat thimnak thawngin, kanmah le kan pawngkam ummi hna a thlen khomi lam in Khrih he kan i tong kho. Khual dawtnak hmun ser awk, zangfahnak he sifah harnak cohlan awk le kan tuahmi thil paoh ah Pathian umpinak kawl awkah thazaang kan hmu hram ko seh. Amen.

Calcutta khuami Mithiang Teresa nih khual dawtnak kong:ah
“Sifakmi hna lakah, Khrih cu ‘lungretheihnak muisam in’ kan ton.
