Ruoivel Vs Kohran tukver

May 1, 2010 Hmasawnna Thar suoka khan L.Ruoivel Pangamte-in “Inneina hi mi po po lai chawimawiin um sien la” ti thupuia hmangin, Pathien thu ang taka kristienhai thaw dan ding nia a tukvera inthoka a lo thlir dan angin January 15, 2010-a a naunu pasal nei chu inthlana a buotsaipek thu, soiseltu an tamzie thu le mo lawmnaa inseng treuh hi thra a ti naw thu a ziek a. Mo lawm ei uor san hi ei Baibul nei tah po Version pathuma Hebrai 14:4 ei inlet dan inang naw dam mawsietin, “mi po po laia innei (inneina) chawimawi” ti hi trawngbau khap suol niin a’n lang” a ti hiel a. Ama chun, “Nupa ni dinga inneihai hin, nuhmei dang le pasal danghai lakah an inneina (nuhmei pasal nei an ni tah ti) hi inzaum takin inlangtir hai sien la” tia inlet thrat a rot hiel a nih. NIV-a chun hi châng hi “Marriage should be honoured by all and the marriage bed kept pure” ti a ni a; RSV chun, “Let marriage be held in honour by all, and let the marriage bed be kept undefiled” tiin a sie.

A thlirna tukvera inthoka a mit sukkhamtu tak chu mo lawm uor le mo lawmnaa sum tam tak seng hi a nih. Amiruokchu, Baibul tukvera inthoka thlira infuina ziektu hin mo lawm thu a hril nawh; innei hi inza taka chawimawi ding a ni thu a ziek lem a nih. Inneihai chu nupaa insiem an ni tak leiin chu chu khawtlangin hrietpuiin an inneina chu inzapek hai sien, nunghak le tlangval an ni lai angin tu khomin beiseiin hèl ta naw hai sien ti le chu chu hrepuitu tu khom mawphurna a nizie a hril a nih. Hrepuituhai mawphurna le inneihai mawphurna a thriengin a hril kop pei a, a hrilna san khom Thupek Sawma khap bawsea an uire a dit naw lei a nih. Chun, inneihai thutiem chu inzapek (respect) el khom ni loa chawimawi (honour) ding a nizie thu a hril tum tak a ni leiin ‘respect’ ti nekin ‘honour’ ti trongkam hi a hmang a nih.

Chun, innei hi mi po poin chawimawi hai sien ti a hril leia mo lawm hi ei uor pha anga hril tum hi thlirna tukver him lo a nih. Kristien le tien lo tu khawtlang khomin mo lawm hi ei uor seng a, mi neinunghaiin an uor zuol. Kristien ei hung ni hnunga ei uor tran khom a ni bok nawh.

A ieng khom chu ni sien, Ruoivelin a tukver le inrema Baibul inlet a nuom dan ang hin inlet ding ni inla, ei buoi fe ka ring. A hmasa takin, “nupa ni dinga inneihai hin” ti hi Hebrai ziektuin a ziek naw bakah, “Nupa ni lo dinga innei khom an um a ni?” tiin indon inla, ei buoi nghal ka ring. ‘Innei’ chu nupaa insiem tina a ni a, hrilfiena dang a ngai nawh. “Nupa ni dinga innei” ti chu trongkam chuongliem a ni el bakah nupa ni kher lo dinga innei khom an um ti a thawiin a kawk sa tlat a nih.

Hi hmun hi sira ka biekzin ni chun ngaituona a fe sei ngei.

Kum 2000 khan Pope John Paul II chun kha hmaa Roman Catholic kohranin a lo thaw suol po po laka thupha chawina le ngaidam inhnina lekha a’n suo, Galileo chun a thia inthok kum 358-ah thiem a chang chauh a nih. Kohran tukver besana hmanga Pathien thu lak suol le hmang suol hi thil trium tak a nih.
