Ama puol ngeia Bible inchawka tiem chu a duthusam lien tak a nih. Khuoi dam vaiin, khuoizu a zawrnaa inthawkin kum 6 sung shilling 17 an khawl chun Bible chu an chawk thei ve tah a nih. Sienkhawm Mary Jones-hai khuoa inthawka Bible inchawk theina hnai tak chu Bala (Mid Wales) khawpui mel 28-a hla a nih. Kum 1982-a Wales-a kan zin tumin Bala khawpuia Pi Tei (Gwen Rees Roberts) le Pi Hlimi (Gwen Evans) hmu dingin ka umna National Library of Wales,Aberyswyth-a inthawkin Theological student Richard Pooley-in a mi va fepui a.

Unau dittak, Lalpa thu chu ei kehai di’n khawnvar, ei lampui elvartu ni mawl raw se. Amen.

Churachandpura ka kal apiangin New Bazara Synod Book Room ka tlawh zia thin a. Ka chhiar duh chi lekhabu thleng thar a awm chuan ka lei ngei ngei thin. Ka kal hnuhnun ber chuan Pu M. Lalmanzuala lekhabu ziak “Nghet Taka Ding Zelin” tih show board-a an lo dah ka hmu a, ro phum ruk hmu tlukah ka inngai a, ka lei nghal bawk a.

Pu Manzuala hi a lekha ziak leh lehkhabu chhuah hrang hrang, abikin Zoram Kalsiam atangin ka lo hmelhriat tawh a. A thu ziak atangin mi huaisen, a sawi duh apiang hlauh neih miah loha sawi hmiah hmiah ngam, thudika a hriat chu tan ngam, thil tha tih duh mi niin ka hmu a. Ani ang hi Zoram khawvelah mi eng emaw zat awm sela chuan, Zoram hmelhmang hi a danglam ngei ang tiin duhthu ka lo sam thin.

Review pawh ni chuang lovin, he lekhabu ka chhiar atanga Pu Manzuala ka hmuh dan leh a lehkhabu chungchang tlem han tuihnih hlek ila. Keima ang bawka harsa taka lehkha zir, self-made niin ka hria a, office hnathawhna lamah pawh a vawr tawp thleng pha niin ka hria. A hnathawhna lama a inpumpekna, rinawmna le principle nghet tak vuana a din zel ngamna hi entawn tlak a ni. A lehkhabu chhungah hian ama chanchin chauh ni lo, a hun laia thil thleng te leh a rualpui te chanchin hmer telin a chheprawtui thiam hle a, chhiara a nuam. A bung hrang hrang chu sawi ngai lohah dah ila, a tawp lama Mizote Mizia leh ACR (Annual Confidential Inpe ila) ti te hi a tha thlawt e, belhchhah tur pawh kei chuan ka hre lo.

Inthlan hnuhnun bera ‘Pu Manzuala’n a contest ve dawn e’ tih ka lo hriat chuan, “E heu!, a va’n pawi mange, Pu Manzuala hian a kuang lo tur a nawr ta a ni chu!” ka ti vawng vawng a. Ka rin ang ngeiin a tling ta lo va. Tling mahse Zoram chu a siam tha chuangin ka ring lo; ama constituency chu model constituency-ah a siam mahna..

Kei hi Vai ngaisang mi ka ni a. Vai nula hmel tha ngaisangtu chang ni lo, rilrua be duh hialtu ka ni a. Vai nula nalh tak ka hmuh chang hian, Pathianin mihring min siam dan hi thlei bik a nei emaw ka ti thin a.

A lekhabua hian Renuji nen an inneih tih kan hria a. Mahse tuna a fate zawng zawng leh a tute thlenga hringtu Renuka chanchin a lang tlem hlein ka hmu a. A nupui pahnihna Pi Madini nena an thlalak, Pi Madini thlalak dang dang leh a pi leh pute thleng chanchin chhuiin, ‘a fakna a dai lo vang, khawvel tawp hun thleng pawhin’ tih lam hawia tuna a nupui a han fak mai bik hi, tute emaw ‘mitmei ven’ zawnga khâp a ni lo ang kei chuan ka ti thei lo. A lekhabuah hian Pi Renu leh a fate thlalak leh E.Barlow nena thlalak pahnih chiah kan hmu a. Pi Renuka hi Catholic Kristian chhungkua seilian a ni a.

Kan thufing, fing tehchiam lohah chuan “Hmeichhia leh chakaiin sakhua an nei lo” tih a ni a. Keini Zonu tam tak chuan, huat thu loah, an pasal te sakhua an zawm duh mai thin. Tuna ka awmna bulah pawh hian Zonu engemaw zat, Meitei pasala neih an awm a, an Hindu vek tawh a, an chal pawh a rang vek tawh.
