(2) Ge.3:21- Lalpa Pathien chun Adam le a nuhmei ta ding chun savun zakuofuolhai a siem pek a, an haktir tah a. (3) Ge.22:13-14- Isak inhlanna

2. Bethlehem kher kherah:

Aw Lalpa Davida thla Zing Arasi.

I felna rama dingin I mi buotsai;;

Arasi chanchin hril chun khawsak mivarhai chanchin hril sa naw thei a ni nawh. Judahai histawri dungzui chun khawsak mivar pathumhai kha Melkior (Greek), Casper (India) le Balthasar (Aigupta) mi, ram dang mi vawng an nih a tih.

Ieng po khawm nisien, mel za tam inzinin Juda lal hung pieng ding chu an zawng a; arasi khan an tlungna ding tak Bethlehem bawng inah a thuoilut chat el a nih. An thilpek rangkachak, beraw le murra-hai inentir neiin an lo thaw vawng a nih. Remruottu Mak remruot hi mihriem sierkawpa chawk chun a mak ti naw ruol an nawh.

Khawsask mivarhai khawm rimtui chawiin an hung,

Ranthlengah a nu Mari chawiin an va hmuh,

An robawmhai hawngin Lal chibai an va buk.

5. Josefa le Mari kher kher:

Nazaret khuoa khan tlangval fel dang an um naw maw? Ieng dinga Lalpa Pathienin Josefa her kher kha a hung thlang am? Chanchin Tha bu khatna ziektu Matthai-in iengtin am a ziek a?

An lo um pal khawmin Mari (Josefa dawngmanu) neka thlang ding chu an um naw ning a tih. Vantirkoin an rai ding thu a zuk hril khan, “E! Chuongchu ni thei naw nih. Ka hming a sie ding a nih, inhuolpui ka nei tah”tia suonlam siem a va rem de! A siem teuh nawh. Mari dawnna kha, “Ngai ta, Lalpa suoknu ka nih, I hril ang peiin ka chunga tlung raw se”. Ringna hrat, thuawi thei. Entawn tlak a va ni de! A hla heih insam dam kha heih tiem ta, a va heih ropui hem hem de!

Ka thlain Lalpa a chawimawi a,

Pathien chungah a hlim bek bek,

A bawinu tlawm tak a ngaisak leiin,

Tuta Le ruolthar peihai khawmin,

Hamthanu mi ti ngei an tih. (Lk.1:46-48).

Mari ang ku hin, “I hril ang peiin, I thu ang peiin ka chunga tlung raw se. Lalpa I thu thu ni lem raw se. I tir phawt zangngaina thlawn pek a nih” tiah lawmna, hamthatna a um a nih.

Hi hmun kher khera Isu pieng zana berampuha’n an beramhai an lo riekngha khawm kha, a va mak de aw! Thil dang a ni nawh. Hi thil tlung hin Isu Krista nina hril hriet a mi nuom a nih. Isu Krista nina hril hriet a mi nuom chu iem a na? Isu Krista ngei chun, “Kei hi berampu tha ka nih, berampu tha chun beramhai ta dingin a hringna a pek hlak. Kei chu berampu tha ka nih; ka beramhai chu ka hriet a, ka beramhai khawmin an mi hriet”.(Joh.10-11/14). Tlasam ngai lo ding, vuoi ngai lo ding, thina hlim ruom hraw le hmelhma inhuol vela um khawma ti ngai lo dinga, Berampu Tha- mi vengtu Lal Isu Krista a ni zie a pieng zan la la khawmin an hung hrilfie nghal a nih.

7. Ranthlang kher kherah:

Tu khawm ka taksa fa a, ka thisen dawntu chu keimaah a um zing a, kei khawm amaah ka um zing a nih.”(Joh.6:55-56).

Tui po poin ka suolna an tleng thei nawh,

Isu thisen hlu chu inthawina a nih,

Ei suolhai na loin a mi sukdam thei.

Haleluija, Lalpa ropui raw se.

Thu tlangkawmna:

Thilmak tak el chu thu, thu ringawta um kha taksa’n a hung inchang a. Tiem chin nei lo Pathien kha, tiem chin neiin a hung um a. Pathien hrat mihriem anga insiemin, naute chitein a hung pieng chu! Iengleia Iengkim Siemtu Pathien chu mihriema a hung inchang? Iengleia thil Iengkim Siemtu chu a thilsiema a hung thang ve el am an leh?

Dan chu Mosie hmanga pek a na; lunginsietna le thutak ruok chu Isu Krista zara hung tlung a nih”(Joh.1:16-17). Haleluia, Lalpa ropui raw se.

(Envelope hi jail sunga pawisa anga hmang a nih). Ni khat chu envelope (lekhabawm sunga) chun “Thlarau ta dinga Thirchakai” (Anchor For the Soul” ti lekhabu te a lo um a. Ka zuk bi a, sakhuo thil a nih ti ka hriet a. Pathien ka ring nawh a. Naute ka ni lai baptis lo ni tang ka tih. Amiruokchu chu chu ka ditthlangna a ni nawh.
