Hong it Jesu Topa aw,
Tui hual hong nai laitakin;
Huihpi nung daih nai loh tawh,
Na ang sung hong om sak in.
Nuntak huihpi kam mateng,
Hong Honpa aw, hong liah in;
Keima kha nong lak mate,
Khawlmun nuam ah hong kha in.
Belh ding dang khat beek nei keng,
Cimawhin Nang kong beel hi;
Hong nusia peuh mah ngei ken,
Nong huh, Nong nem lai ding hi.
Kong muang hi Topa Nangmah,
Huhna Nang’ kiang ka ngah hi;
Topa aw, Na kha nuai-ah,
Keima lu Nong liah ding hi.
Kei’ deihna teng kicinna,
Khristu Topa Nang na hi;
Puk te phong, mittaw te kha,
Na dam sak lungsim, pumpi.
Nang na dik, Nang na siangtho,
Kei kihhuai, mawhna ka dim;
Ka pumtang sianna nei lo,
Nang thutak, hehpihna dim.
Ka mawh sin khin zo dingin,
Hehpihna Nang’ kiang kicing;
Damna gun tui hong luan in,
Ka lung sung siang denna ding.
Nang nuntakna naak na hi,
Nangmah hong dawndawn sak in;
A tawntung nuntak tuili,
Ka lung sung hong phul sak in.

PASIAN IN MIHING HONG ITNA
NATE leh Lai Siangtho in Pasian’ hong itna hong gen uh hi. Vana om ih Pa in nuntakna, pilna leh lungdamna naak a hihi. A lamdang a hoih nate en dih in. Mihing bek hi lo, ganhing khempeuhte’ tangsapna leh nopsakna ding a hutna ngaihsun dih in. Lei a lungdam saka a thak suah sak nitang leh guahtui te, mualte, tuipite leh zangleite in Piangsakpa’ hong itna hong gen ciat uh hi. A pian sak khempeuhte’ kitangsapna nisima a hu pa in Pasian a hihi. La phuak siam pa in zong:
“Mi khempeuhte’ mit in Nang hong en uha, a hunhunin amaute’ an ding na pia hi.
Na khut na phalha, a nungta khempeuhte na lungkim sak hi,” ci hi. (Phatna La 145:15,16).
Pasian in mihing a siangtho sinsen leh nuam a sa dingin bawla; leitung zong Piangsakpa’ khut pan a hong om khiat laitakin, melhemna leh siatna neu kha beek a nei kei hi. Lungkhamna leh sihna a hong tun pen - ki-itna thukham a hi – Pasian’ thukham palsatna a hihi. Hi napi, mawhna pan a hong piang gentheihna sung nangawn ah Pasian’ hong itna hong kilang lai hi. Mihing’ bawlin Pasian in leitung sam sia hi (Piancilna 3:17). Ling leh kiak – mihing’ nuntak a gim a tawl sak haksatna leh sittelna te – mihing’ hoih zawkna dinga a kiseh hi-a, mawhna’ hanga piang siatna leh kiam sukna pana mihng a dom tohna dinga Pasian’ pattahna a hihi. Hih leitung a kisia a hih hangin dahna leh lungmanna ngentang hi khin sam lo hi. Nate’ sung mahmah ah (10) lametna leh hehnepna thute om hi. Kiak tungah paakte palha, lingkungte paak in tuam hi.
“Pasian in ki-itna a hihi,” ci-in paak ngum khempeuh tung leh lono sel tung khempeuh ah kigelh hi. A langaihte uh huih laka a ging hiauhiau sak a it huai vasate, a gim namtui uh huih lak teng a kizel sak a deih huai paakte, a hiang zau-a a nim dildial gamlak singkung sang pipi te in, Pasian in pa banga limtaka a hong kepna leh A tate hong lungdam sak nuam a hihna hong lak uh hi.
Lai Siangtho in Pasian’ zia leh tong hong lak hi. Hong itna leh hong hehpihna te zong Amah mah in hong gen hi. Mose in, “Na thupina hong lak in,” a cih ciangin Topa in, “Ka hoihna khempeuh na mai-ah kong kilang sak ding hi,” ci hi (Paikhiatna 33:18, 19). Mose’ mai-ah Topa pai-in A thupina laka, “Topa, Topa in, khualna leh hehpihna, lungduaina, dikna leh cihtakna nei-a, mi tul tampite ita, khialhna, thu palsatna leh mawhna a mai sak Pasian a hihi,” ci hi

(Paikhiatna 34:6,7). Amah “heh hakin, migi mahmah hi,” “bang hang hiam cih leh Amah in mi-hehpih nuam sa hi,” (Jonah 4:2; Mikah 7:18).
Pasian in van leh lei-a a kisim zo lo nate tawh ih lungsimte Ama tungah khih hi. Na a tuamtuam te pan a hi-a, mihing’ lungsim in a theih theih ding leitung kikhihna a duai bel leh a to bel te tawh ahi zongin, eite’ kiangah Amah mah hong kihil hi. Ahi zongin hih te in Ama hong itna a kicingin hong lak zo lo hi. Hih bangin a tuamtuam in hong kilah hangin, mite in kihtakna tawh Pasian a etna dingun, hoihna’ galpa in mihing’ lungsimte zing sak hi; mite in Pasian pen a gen hak leh mawhna a maisak nuam lo bangin ngaihsun uh hi. Mite in Pasian pen a gi lo (11) thukhenpa, a ngoltol, a phincil sumkhonpa banga a ngaihsutna dingun Satan in amaute khem hi. Mite’ tungah thu a khen theihna dingin mite’ khialhna leh mawhna te a en cik giugiau pa bangin Piangsakpa pen Satan in kilang sak hi. Tua a hih manin Pasian’ hong itna leitung mite’ kiangah hong lak ding leh Satan’ hong khemnate a hem khia dingin, Jesu hong pai-in mite lakah hong nungta hi.
Pa hong lak tel dingin van panin Pasian’ Tapa hong pai hi. “Kuamah in Pasian a mu ngei kei hi; Pa’ ang sunga a om Tapa khat tang bek mah in Pa a hong kilang sak hi.” Johan 1:18. “Tapa leh Tapa in a lah ding mite lo ngal, kuamah in Pa a thei kei hi.” Matthai 11:27. Nungzuite khat in, “Pa hong lak in,” a cih ciangin Jesu in, “Nang tawh sau veipi om khawm khin napi-in, Kei hong thei nai lo na hi hiam, Philip aw? Kei hong mu mi in Pa a mu a hihi; tua hi napi-in bang hangin, Pa hong lakin, hong ci na hi hiam?” ci hi (Johan 14:8, 9).
Leitung-a hong paina thu a genna ah Jesu in, “Topa in, mizawngte’ kiangah lungdamna thu a gen dingin Kei sathau hong nilh zo hi; lungsim kitamzante a dam sak ding, thongkiate suahtakna thu a gen ding leh, mit tawte khua a mu sak ding; bawlsiatna a thuak te a khah khia dingin kei hong sawl zo hi,” ci hi (Luka 4:18). Hih pen Ama nasep a hihi. Pai kawikawi-in thupha bawla, Satan in a bawl siat khempeuh a dam sak hi. Amah pai-in a cinate khempeuh uh dam sak a hih manin, inn khat beek ah cina-a a tau khat zong a om lohna khua tampi om hi. Amah Pasian’ sawl a hih lam a nasepna in kilang sak hi. Ama gamtatna khempeuh ah itna, (12) hehpihna leh khualna te kilang hi; Ama lungsim in mihing’ tate hong khasiat hi. Mihing’ kitang sapnate a huh theihna dingin Amah in mihing’ pian zia hong la hi. A zawng bel leh a niam bel te in zong Amah nai ngam uh hi. Naupangnote nangawn in Amah ngai uh hi. A khuk tungah kah to-in, itna leh migitna tawh a kidim Topa’ maitang enen nuam uh hi.

Jesu in, thumaan kam khat zong ngawh gen lo-in, itna tawh gen khia tawntung hi. Mite tawh a kithuahna ah thusiamna, thukhualna leh thungaihna te zang tawntung hi. Phawk theihna a nei mihingte’ tungah Amah ngongtat thei lo hi, na a kisa ding kam khauh khat zong pau ngei lo hi. Mihing’ thanemna zong mawh sak lo hi. Thumaan a gen ciangin itna tawh gen khia tawntung hi. Kineih khemna, up lohna leh khialhna te a selpho hangin, a taina kammalte khitui tawh ging khia hi. Lampi, thumaan leh hinna a hi Amah a sang nuam lo, a it khuapi Jerusalem, Jesu in kah hi. Amaute in Honpa a hi Amah nial uh ahih hangin, Amah in amaute hehpih veve hi. Ama nuntakna pen ang sung niala midangte khualna a hihi. Mi khempeuh Ama mit ah manpha hi. Amah in Pasian’ thupina a puak ngei hang in, Pasian’ innkuan pih khempeuh a khualna-in hong kiniam khiat hi. Mi khempeuh mawh nei hi-a, a hon khia dinga Amah hong pai a hihi.
Hih te in Ama nuntakna pana hong kilang khia Khristu’ zia leh tong a hihi. Pasian’ zia leh tong zong hi pah hi. Pa Pasian’ lungtang panin khasiat pihna luitui hong luang khia-a, Khristu tung tawnin mihing’ tate’ kiang hong tung hi. A migi, a hehpih thei Honpa Jesu pen “mihing-a hong kilang” Pasian a hihi. (1Timothy 3:16).
(13) Eite hong tat khiatna dingin Jesu hong nungta-in, gim na hong thuakin, hong si hi. Tawntung lungdamna ih ngah theihna dingin Amah “dahna a thuak Mi-pa” hong suak hi. Gen khit zawh loh a vanglian vantung panin, mawhna tawh a poi a hem, sihna leh samsiatna tawh a mial cip leitung ah a hong pai dingin, hehpihna leh thutak tawh a kidim A Tapa, Pasian in phal hi. Maizumna, zahkona, simmawhna, muhdahna leh sih na a thuak ding, Ama itna anglum leh vantung mite’ pahtawina a nusia dingin phal hi. “Eite’ lungmuanna dingin taina Ama tungah tu hi; Amah a kivuakna tawh eite ih dam hi.” (Isaiah 53:5). Gamlak khawng, Getsemani huan khawng leh singlamteh tung khawng ah a om lai en un! Kawk baang lo Pasian’ Tapa, mawhna van gik kisuan hi. Pasian tawh pum khat a hi ngei pa in, mawhna hanga Pasian leh mihing a kikhenna a lau huai dan hong sin hi. A muk panin, “Ka Pasian, Ka Pasian aw, bang dingin hong tai san na hiam?” ci-a lungima kikona aw ging khia hi (Matthai 27:46). Pasian Tapa’ lungtang a kitam kham sak pen – Pasian leh mihing a khen, a kihtak huai mahmah mawhna van gikpi a hihi.
A hi zongin hih kipiak khiatna lianpi pen, Pasian in mihing a itna ding, hot khiat nopna lungsim a neih na dinga a kibawl hi lo hi. Hi peuh mah lo hi! “Pasian in leitung mite it mahmah ahih manin A Tapa khat tang a hong pia a hihi.” John 3:16. Hih kipum piakna hangin Pasian in eite a hong it hi lo hi. Amah in eite hong it a hih manin hih kipum piakna Ama’n hong bawl hi zaw hi. A puk sa leitung ah A itna a hong sun suk theihna dingin Khristu pen a lawng a hihi.

“Khristu sungah Pasian oma, leitung mite Amah tawh kilem sak hi.” 2 Korintu 5:19. Pasian in A Tapa tawh thuak khawm hi. Getsemani-a khakham veina leh Kalvari-a sih na ah Ki-itna Pasian in eite hong tatna a man pia zo hi.
(14) Jesu in, “Tua a hih manin Ka Pa in Kei hong it hi, bang hang hiam cih leh Ka lak kik theih dingin Ka nuntakna Ka pia khia hi,” ci hi (Johan 10:17). Tua pen, “Ka Pa in note hong it mahmaha, note’ man ding in Ka nuntakna Ka piak manin Amah in Kei nangawn hong it zaw kan hi. Note’ Ai-awh leh Ciamna-kip Ka suahna, Ka nuntakna Ka piak khiatna, na leibatte uh leh na thu palnate uh Ka kisuatna te hangin Ka Pa in Kei hong it hi; Keima kipum piakna tawh Pasian’ dikna kilanga, Jesu a um mite a Diksakpa zong suak lai hi,” cihna a hihi.
Pasian’ Tapa sim loh kuamah in eite hong tan khia zo lo hi; bang hang hiam cih leh Pa’ ang luma om pa bek mah in Ama thu gen khia thei hi. Pasian’ hong it na a saanna leh a thukna a thei pa bek mah in tua itna kilang khia sak thei hi. A puk sa mihing’ tanga Khristu kipum piakna sim loh bang mah dang in a mang thang mite kiangah Pasian’ itna gen khia thei lo hi.
“Pasian in leitung mite it mahmah a hih manin A Tapa khat tang hong pia hi.” Mite’ laka hong nungta ding bek, mite’ mawhna a pua ding bek leh mite’ tanga a si ding beka A hong piak hi lo hi. A puk sa mihing te a hong pia a hihi. Mihingte’ lawpnate leh kitang sapnate Amah mah in a hong sin ding a hihi. Pasian tawh pum khat a hi pa pen mihing’ tate tawh a kitat ngei lo khau panin Amah mah hong kizom hi. Mihing te pen Ka naute a hong cih ding Jesu mai zum lo hi (Hebrai 2:11); Amah pen ih kithoihna, ih Palai leh ih U-pa hi-a, Pa’ tokhom mai-ah ih mihing lim mah pua a A tat sa mite tawh pum khat a hong suak – mihing Tapa a hihi. Hih te khempeuh in, mihing in Pasian’ itna kilang saka a siangtho nuamna a neihna dingin, mawhna hanga siatna leh kiam sukna pana mihing a dom to ding a hihi.
(15) Eite hong kitatna a hi, eite’ tanga a si dinga vantung-a ih Pa in A Tapa hong piak khiatna in; Khristu hangin eite bang suak thei cih ngaihsutna a sang zaw hong guan hi. Pa in a kisia mang ding minamte A hong itna – a saana, a thuukna leh a zaina, Johan in a muh ciangin phatna leh zahtakna lungsim a dimin hong nei a, tua itna a liatna leh a khona a gen khiatna ding kam mal kilawm a muh zawh loh ciangin, “En un, Pasian’ tate hong kicih theihna dingin Pa in eite’ tungah a bang ci itna hong nei a hi hiam?” ci-in a en dingin leitung mite hong sawl hi (1 Johan 3:1). Hih thu in bang zah ta-in mihing hong manpha sak a hi hiam! Thu palsatna hangin mihing’ tate pen Satan’ mi kisuak hi. Khristu hong kigawhna ih upna hangin Adam’ tate pen Pasian’ ta ih suak thei hi. Mihing’ pian zia a hong lakna tawh Khristu in mihing’ dinmun hong laam to hi.

Khristu tawh a kizopna uh panin a puk sa mite, “Pasian’ tate” cih min a pua dinga kilawm a suah theihna ding mun ah amaute kikoih hi.
Hih bang itna pen teh pih ding om lo hi. Vantung Kumpipa’ tate! A manpha Kamciam! Ngaihsut lian bel a hi den ding! Amah a it leitung mite Pasian in a itna!

Tua mah bangin Jeus’ na lamdang bawl te a genna ah thuhilh sia Johan in, “Jesu in Pasian’ Tapa Khristu hi, cih na up theihna ding uh leh, tua na upna uh hangin Ama min tawh nuntakna na ngah theihna dingun, hih thute a kigelh a hihi,” ci hi (Johan 20:31).

Hih kamciam a tangtunna ding thu khat om hi: Pasian’ deihna tawh kituakin ngen ding, ci hi.

“Mite a sihna ah nop sakna ka nei kei hi, Topa Pasian in ci hi; tua a hih ciangin kihei kik un la, nungta un.” (Ezekel 18:32). Pasian’ kamciamte hong sut khia dingin Satan kiging sa-in om hi.

“Mi khat peuh Khristu sungah a om leh, amah a piang thak a hihi; a lui nate bei mangin, na khempeuh a thak a suak hi.” (2 Korintu 5:17).
Mi khat in ama kikheelna ah a hun lian a hi zongin, a mun a hi zongin, a thu piang khempeuh suutin gen thei khol lo ding hi; a hi zongin tua in amah a kikheel lo a hih lam a lak hi tuan lo hi. Khristu in Nikodem kiangah, “Huih a utna lam peuh ah nunga, a ging bek na za hi; a hi zongin koi pan hong pai-a, koi lam va tung hiam cih na gen thei kei hi. Tua hi-a Kha Siangtho-a suak khempeuh zong tua bang mah a hihi,” ci hi (Johan 3:8). Huih a kimuh theih loh hangin a nasepnate kimu-in kithei thei a hih mah bangin, Pasian’ Kha in mihing’ lung sungah na a sepna zong kimu-in kithei thei hi. Mihing’ mit in a muh theih loh tua pian thak theihna vaang in mihing’ sungah nuntakna a thak guan hi; Pasian’ lim a suun ding mi thak khat piang sak hi. Kha’ nasepna pen kimu thei lo a hih hangin, A nasepna pana a piang pen hong kilang khia veve hi. Pasian’ Kha in lungtang a thak sak naka leh, nuntakna pan tua thu hong kithei khia ding hi. Eite in ih lungtangte neu kha zong ih kheel thei kei-a, Pasian tawh a kilem dingin ih kibawl thei kei hi; a hi zongin ih sungah Pasian’ hehpihna a om leh a om loh ih nuntakna ah hong kilang ding hi.

Ni danga a lunggulhnate bangun gamta nawn lo-in, Pasian’ Tapa a upna uh tawh Ama khekhapte zui-in, Ama zia leh tong kilang khia sakin, Amah a siantho mah bangin amaute zong siangtho ding uh hi.

Pasian’ hehpihna hanga a thak suah lungtang sungah itna in gamtatna zungpi a hihi.

Pasian’ thukham in Ama pian zia mahmah a hong kilatna a hihi; tua tham lo-in itna thuguipi kituahna hi lai hi; tua a hih manin Pasian in lei leh van ukna-in zang pah hi. Pasian’a tawh kibangin ih lungtangte hong kibawl thak hen la, ih lung sungah Pasian’ itna hong kituh leh, Pasian’ thukham ih nuntakna ah hong kilang khia mah lo ding hiam? Itna thuguipi ih lungtang sungah hong kituh ciangin, amah a piang sak Pa’ lim bangin mihing a kibawl thak ciangin, “A lung sung uah ka thukhamte ka guang dinga, a lungtang tung uah ka gelh ding hi,” cih thuciam thak hong picing ding hi (Hebrai 10:16). Lungtang tungha thukham kigelh leh tua in nuntakna zuun mah lo ding hiam? Thumanna in itna’ nasep leh gamtatna a hih manin, nungzui-hihna lim taktak a hihi. Tua a hih manin Lai Siangtho in, “Pasian’ thupiakte zuihna in Amah itna a hihi.” “Amah ka thei hi, ci napi-a, Ama thupiakte a zui lo mi in, zuau a gen hi-a, Ama sungah thutak a om kei hi,” ci hi (1 Johan 5:3; 2:4). Thu zuihna ding pan hong khah khia ding hi zaw lo-in, (61) upna taktak ih neih ciangin, Khristu’ hehpihna a ngah kihi-in, tua in thumanna hong nei thei sak hi zaw hi.

Dikna pen Sinai muala hong kipia thupiak sawm sunga hong kilak bangin Pasian’ thukham siangtho tawh sit lehang kithei thei hi.

Leitung ah a hong pai ma-in Jesu in Ama thu na gena, “Ka Pasian aw, Nangma deih bang hih ding ka lawp hi. Hihi, Na thukham ka lung sungah om hi,” ci hi (Phatna La 40:8). Vantung a kah toh ma deuhin zong, “Ka Pa’ thupiakte ka zui-a, Ama itna sungah ka om hi,” ci hi (Johan 15:10).

WHAT A FRIEND WE HAVE IN JESUS
Ih mawhna leh ih dahna teng,
A pua ding Jesu ih Lawm;

Na khempeuh te Pasian’ kiangah,
Thuumin ih koh loh hang hi!
Zia-et bawl siat a hi zongin,
Lung khamna khat peuh om maw?
Cik mah ciang lung kia ngei lo-in,
Topa’ kiangah ko in aw!
Dah teng thuak pih nuam Jesu bang,

Jesu’n theih khin ih sap bangbang,

Lung khamna van gik bang lelin, Zawng khalin na tha neem maw?
Mangpha Honpa ih belh hi in, Ama kiangah ko in aw!
Mi’n hong sim mawh hong huat ciangin, Topa’ kiang ih pai ding hi!
A ang sung hong pom hong dalin, Lung nopna hong pia ding hi.
