Kum za hma khan ei pi le puhaiin RINGNA ti trongkam hi an nei ngai naw a, an lo khawsa thei tho. An Pathien biek le tuta ei Pathien biek khom a pangngai tho a la ni nih.

Chabi poimaw
Isu Krista chun Ama ringa baptisma chang chu sandam a ni ding thu le a ringnawtu chun thiemnaw a chang ding thu a hril a (Marka 16:16). Hnuoia a cheng sunga mi a sukdam taphot deuthaw kuomah “I ringna hi i dampui a nih” tiin a hril deuh zie bok a. A thilthawtheina kut sukchetu chu a dongtu ringna a nizie thu a hril nuom lei a nih. Kong danga hril chun, Pathiena inthoka luong suok malsawmna hnar zomna chu ringna dawt a nih. A puon hmawr chauh khom thema dam inring tlat nuhmei thi put chun damna a chang throt nghal a nih. Isu rongbawlna chanchin ei tiem chun, Ama ring nawtu khuo chun a thilthawtheina ra dong dingin lungril kot an hong nuom naw leiin thilmak a thawpek naw el a nih. Ringna chu Pathien le inzomna chabi poimaw a nih.

Hebrai 11:6 a chun ringna naw chun Pathien suklawm ruol a ni naw thu ei hmu a. Tirko Paula chun lunginsietna zara sandam ei ni thu le chu sandamna chu ringna hmanga ei dong thei thu a hril bakah ringna chu Pathien thilthlawnpek a ni thu a mi hril bok (Efesi 2:8). Ringtuin a ring chu a ring tak tak ngeizie hriet theina chu a thilthawa inthok a nizie Jakob chun a uor a, ringna hi thilthawin a zui naw chun thil thi a ni thu a khekpui thung (Jakob 2:26). Hi thu hi kohran sunga khom ei fepui dan a khuongruol naw a, Roman Catholic le Protestant inkara chadan inthuk tak siemtu a nih. Ringna lei chauha thiemchang ei ni thu uortu Martin Luther trong invetin Jakob lekhathon hi “Bupawl lekhathon” (Epistle of Straw) a ti hiel a, Baibul bua inthrangtir lo khom a nuom hiel a nih. Hi hi Jakob thukhawchang a man fie naw lei a nih. Jakob-in a hril tum tak chu ringtu indik le ringtu tehlem hriet theina chu an ringzie thilthawa an inlangtir le inlangtir lo danah a nih. Ringtu inti chun ringtu a nizie a nungchang le thilthawin inlangtir a ta, an langtir si naw chun ringtu tehlem mei mei a nizie a hril lem a nih. Chu chu ringtu intihaiin inkhinaa ei hmang rop ding a ni hrim a nih.

Chun, ringna hi Baibul inlet sukharsatu laia pakhat khom a ni bok. Hi hi Baibul inlet sin ka tran hnunga ka hmu suok ve chauh a nih. Entirnan, Galati 2:16 Filipi 3:9 hi Version tam lemah “faith in Christ” tia an inlet a ni laiin King James Version chun “faith of Christ” tiin a sie leiin ringna hril fie dan thuah inselna tawp lo a cho suok a nih. Krista ei ringna amanih, Kristaa ringna ei innghat (faith in Christ) umzie le Krista ringna (faith of Christ) ti chu thil danglam daih a ni leiin, KJV inlet dan anga hril fie pawlhai chun mihriemin ei ringna ni loin Isu ringna chu Pathien suklawmtu a ni leiin, chu ringna intrawmpuitu ni poimawzie chu an hril uor. Chu khêla fe threnkhat chun ringna chu lunginsietna thilpek a ni leiin peka umhai chauh naw chun nuom thua pawng ring ngot thei a ni naw thu an inchuktir bok. Chu thu chu hi artikula hin ei chai hman naw ding a ni leiin hun remchanga bi dingin la khêk ei tih.

Hmu thei lo hmu chiengna
Hebrai 11:1 a chun ringna chu thil beiseia chiengna le la hmu lo thil hriet chiengna tiin a hril fie a. Chu chu la them phak lo le la hmu phak lo, sienkhom a um ngei tia hrila um chu awi a, pom a, chu taka innghat hmakna chu a nih. Hi thu hi Delhi Version-a footnote-ah hrilfiena kan sie bakah a hranin artikul ‘Hupostasis’ ti February 21, 2004 khan Delhi Thurawna insuo dingin ka ziek tah nghe nghe. Rom 8:24-25 a chun, “Beiseina leia sandam ei ni a, sienkhom hmu tah zing beisei chu beiseina a ni nawh. Hmu tah zing chu tuin am a la beisei zing ding. Ei la hmu naw ei beisei chun ei nghak fan fan hlak a nih” tiin Tirko Paula chun beiseina le ringna chu tangka mai hni angin a hril. Chun, ama bokin, “Hmu thei hin a mi thruoi naw a, ringnain a mi thruoi lem a nih” (2 Kor 5:7) a ti bakah hmu thei thil chu bo el ding a ni a, hmu thei lo thil ruok chu chatuon dai ropuina a ni thu a hril bok (4:16-18). Hi lei tak hin Hebrai lekhathon ziektu chun Mosie ringna thu a hrilnaah, “Hmu thei lo chu a hmu leiin sel takin a tuor a” (11:27) a lo ti a nih.

Ringna formula, hmu thei lo hmu thei ni tlat bok si chu mihriem thil sut dan pangngai chun thil inkawkal tak a nih. Chu chu a nih a makna le dangdaina chuh. Chu chun mihriem hin mit pahnih, taksa mit le thlarau mit, kong danga hril chun puo tieng mit le sungril mit ei nei thu chieng takin a mi hril. Taksa mita hmu thei lo, sungril mit chauha hmu chieng thei thil a um thu le taksa khawvel le thlarau khawvel a um thu a mi hril sa bok a nih. Chu khawvel pahnihai chu tangka hmai hni anga thil inzom tlat an ni leiin thre hrang tum chu thutak hnawl tumna ang a nih. Peter lekhathona chun a lunginsietna ropui tak leia Pathienin mithi laia inthoka Isu Krista a keithona zarin, hmu lo khoma Ama ringtuhai chu beiseina hring nei dinga nun thar a pek thu dam, an sandamna buotsaia um tah chu ama an ringna leia Pathienin a thilthawtheinaa a hum tlat thu dam le ringna ra, sandamna chu an hmu mek leia hlimna hril seng lo khopa nasaa an sip thu dam a hril a (I Pet 1:3-9). Hi taka hin lunginsietna, sandamna, ringna, beiseina le hlimna ei ti hai hi thil intringmit le inzom tlat vong an ni thu ei hmu bok a nih.

Pei le puntir inkop
Ringna ei ti hi Pathienin a mi sandam theina dinga ama suklawmna dinga thil ei thawpek a ni nawh. Kros-a Isu Krista thina khan mihriem tu khom sandamna sin chu hlen zoin a um a, “A kin tah” tia hnena hlado a’n sam khan Pathienin a lunginsietna zara mihriem sandamna lampui a thlawn lieu lieua a buotsai chu kumkhuoa dinga zo fel a ni tah. Mi po po suol phurtu le an ta dinga thia thilthawtheinaa ropui taka keitho nawka um chu Isu a nih. Ama chauh chu Pathien lungsenna thawi dam theitu le mihriem chunga hremna tlung ding khom la kieng theitu a nih. Sandamtu che chu i ringna ni loin Krista thisen a nih. Kristaa chun hringna a um a, chu chu mihriemhai ta dinga hringna var a nih. Chu hringna var chu nei dinga Krista kuoma mi thruoitu chu ei ringna a nih. Kristain intlanna sin a thlawna a lo thaw zo tah chu dong dingin ringna chun Krista tieng a mi’n pantir a, a sandamna thilpek dong dingin kut a mi’n phartir a nih. Chu ringna chu iem a na?

Iengkim Siemtu Pathien pakhat chauh a um ti ring hin Baibula ringna a hril tak hi a kawk phak nawh. Ramhuoihai khomin chu chu an ring a, an hriet a, triin an inthin hlak (Jakob 2:19). Hnuoia Isu a leng lai khan rala inthok khoma tu am a nih ti hre nalh theihai chu ramhuoihai an ni a, anni soisa lo dingin an ngên chul hlak a ni khah. Pathien thu hriet hi a poimaw bek bek a, amiruokchu, hrietna ringota innghata ring si lo chu thil thlawn a nih. Hriet le ring kop a ngai. Hrietna chu ringna lampui mi’n pantirtu sirbi poimaw hmasa tak a nih. Ei ring ding chun ei ringna ding san hriet hmasak phot a ngai. Hi lei hin Tirko Paula chun, “Thu an hriet naw chun ieng tin am ring thei an ta? Thuhriltu um loin iengtin am hrieng an ta?....Ringna chu thu an ngaithlaka inthoka hung um a na, thu hrila um chu Isu Krista thu a nih” (Rom 10:14,17) tiin a lo hril a nih. A tontira Abelard thu hril ei tar lang Intellige ut credas (Know that you may believe) ti kha “I ring theina dingin hre (hmasa phot) rawh” tiin inlet inla; Anselm hril Crede ut intelligas (Believe that you may know) kha “I hriet theina dingin ring (hmasa phot) rawh” tiin inlet bok inla. Thu inkawkal hoi hle sien khom a ni nawh. Pathien ring ding chun a chanchin thra hriet hmasak phot a ngai thu le Pathien hriet ding chun ring phot a ngai thu, ringna kailawna hraw ngei ngei ding sirbi poimaw pahnih hrilna a nih.

Thuthlung Thar huna ‘ringna’ ei hril hrim hrim hi Isu Kristaa intran le Isu Kristaa tawp vong a nih. Habakuk 2:4 a “Ringnaa mi fel chu hring a tih” ti thu Paulan Rom 1:17 a a hung tar lang hi thil thuhmun ni si, a kawk khom inang, sienkhom a hmangna inang chie lo a nih. Babulon sala intang Judahai, zawlneihai thu lo hril lawk ringa zawmtuhai chan ding Habakuk-in a hrilna a nih. Paula ruok chun Isu Krista ringtuhai chan ding a hrilna a ni daih thung. Isu ngeiin, “Kei hi lampui le thutak le hringna ka nih; keimaa fe naw chu tu khom Pa kuom an tlung ngai nawh. Kei mi hrie ni unla chu ka Pa khom hrieng in tih. Tu hin chu in hriet tah a, ama khom in hmu ta bok” tiin a zirtirhai a hril a ni kha. Filip ruok chu a la chieng naw fan leiin, “Tu khom a mi hmu chu Pa hmu a nih. Ieng leia Pa chu mi’n hmutir rawh i la ti rop? Kei Paah ka um a, Pa keimaaha a um ti hi in ring naw a ni?” (John 14:1-14) tiin a kawk-zil a nih. Pathienin fela a ruothai chu a tirh Isu Krista ringtuhai chauh an nih.

Ringna le a bebawm hi a tam êm êm a, hril zo seng chi khom a ni nawh. A ieng zawng khomin hril hril inla, a thu inthlungna ban chu Pathienin Isu Krista hmanga a lunginsietna zara a thlawna mihriem sandamna lampui a hung buotsai thu le ringnaa chu lampui chu hraw lo chun Edena suola lo tlu tah mihriem tu khom ta dingin sansuokna lampui dang a um der naw thuah a tawp vong a nih. Ringna hrim hrim Isua intran le tawp a ni naw chun a fuk naw vong.

Pei hlawk
Ringna ei ti hi pei le puntir inkop ang a nih. Negative side le positive side a nei a. A pei tieng (negative side) panga chun, sandamna dinga mania inringtawkna le mani thilthaw thrata innghatna po po pei thlak vong a, “Suol kop keima mihriema hin thil thra hrim a chêng nawh” (Rom 7:18) tia mani inhnawl fai thrak a phut. Isu ngeiin, “Tu khomin a mi zui nuom chun mani insie hmangin, ni tin a kros putin mi zui raw se” a ti a nih. Tlangval hausa, Dan zawm kima inngaiin sandamna chabi zonga Isu a hung pan trum khan, “Keimaah thil thra hrim a chêng nawh” ti nêkin, “Chuong po po chu ka tleirawl tîra inthokin ka zawm dap vong a nih” tiin mani inringzo tak le insuong takin a hril a, a Dan zawmna leiin Pathien hmaah thiem chang dinga inngaina a nei a, a tlak nawzie le mi suol a nizie a hmu thei nawh. Chu chu Israel thla, a hnunga Juda mi hung intihai ngirhmun a ni tlangpui. Insie ruok thrak a, a nei po po pasiehai kuomah pe a, ama zui dinga Isun a hang ti zet chun Juda tlangval hmel kha van innim angin a hung thûm el a nih (Marka 10:17-23).

Hi ei thil hril hi tu laia ‘tlak fai’ ei ti vet leh hin thil thuhmun a ni el thei. ‘A ni el thei’ ka tina san chu a thu kawk umzie a fie naw lei ni loin, a taka ei nuna ei phur suok dan le inmil lo a tam lei a nih. Tla fai dera inhril, “Kha hmaa chu chu kha kha khah ka ni ta nawh” tia inhril tam tak hi ei hang bel chieng a, ei zing thoa ei ek tum che thlak bak chu ieng khom einia inthoka tla hmu le hril ding a vang khop el. Isu lo hmuoktu le a ina intlungtirtu Zakai ruok kha chu a hnunga a chanchin pei ei hriet ta nawa chu, Luka rikawta inthoka ei hmu dan chun, a tla fai chieng khop el. Isu hung hmutu tlangval hausa ei hril tah leh khan a letling char an nih. Zakai chun a nei zatve pasiehai kuoma pe ding le tu thil khom indik lo taka a lakpek taphot chu a let lia rul dingin thu a thlung top el a nih. Ringnaa Isu pomtu tak tak inhrietna chu suol inhrietna, insirna le simna nei a, ieng kim chàn huoma Amaa an tluklut el hi a nih. Chu chu ringna formulaa hril chun ‘tlak hlawk, ruok hlawk, pei hlawk, kiem hlawk, inhmang hlawk’ ti ding ni awm tak a nih. Chu chu a nih “inhmang hlawkah ei tiem, tuorna lawmnan ei tiem” tia hlaa ei sak hlak hih. Tla fai si, sip liem bok si chu a taka hretu le changtu ni lo, bohmang mekhai ta ding chun thu inkawkal le invetthlak tak a nih. Ringnaa changtu ta ding ruok chun thilthawtheina a nih.
