9, 10. Abrahama leh Sari te chuan eng anga rei nge Jehova chu an nghah?

 ⁹ Abrahama leh Sari te entawn tûr siam hi han ngaihtuah teh. Anni chuan “rinna leh dawhtheihna” an lantîr avângin “thutiamte” an rochun a. Abrahama chuan “dawhthei taka a nghah hnuah” Jehova’n mal a sâwmin, hnam lian tak paa siam tûra a tiam thu Bible-in min hrilh a. (Hebrai 6:12, 15, NW) Engvângin nge Abrahama tân dawhtheihna neih a ngaih? Chu thutiam thleng famkim tûr chuan hun engemaw chên a ngaih dâwn vâng a ni. B.C.E. 1943, Nisan ni 14-ah, Abrahama leh Sari te chu an chhiahhlawh zawng zawngte nên Euphrates Lui kânin, Ram Tiamah an lût a ni. Mahse, Abrahama chuan a fapa Isaaka piang tûrin kum 25 a nghah a ngai a, kum 60 dang a nghah hnuah a tupa Esauva leh Jakoba an piang a ni.—Hebrai 11:9.

Chûng malsâwmnate chu nghah manhla tak niin a ngai ngei ang tih kan chiang thei a ni.

¹² Abrahama tu-chhuan Josefa pawhin dawhtheihna neih a duh a. Ani chuan dik lo taka rorêlnate a tuar a. A hmasain, kum 17 mi a nih laiin a unaute’n salah an hralh a. A hnuah, a pu nupuiin pawngsual tum anga dâwta a puh avângin, lung inah khung a ni. (Genesis 39:11-20; Sâm 105:17, 18) Josefa chu Pathian chhiahhlawh rinawm ni mah se, malsâwmna dawn aiin hremna a tuar zâwk niin a lang. Mahse, kum 13 a liam hnu chuan thil engkim a inthlâkthleng vek a ni. Josefa chu lung in ata chhuah a ni a, Aigupta rama rorêltu thiltithei ber pahnihna a rawn ni ta a ni.—Genesis 41:14, 37-43; Tirhkohte 7:9, 10.

¹³ Chutianga dik lo taka rorêlna chuan Josefa chu a tithinrim em? Chutih lai chuan Jehova’n a thlahthlam niin a ngai em? Ngai lo ve. Josefa chuan dawhthei  takin a nghâk a. Engin nge ani chu ṭanpui?

(Genesis 50:19, 20) Josefa chuan Jehova malsâwmnate chu nghah manhla tak a ni tih a hria a ni.

14, 15. (a) Engvângin nge Davida dawhtheihna chuan kan rilru a hneh? (b) Dawhthei taka nghâk tûrin Davida chu engin nge ṭanpui?

¹⁴ Lal Davida pawhin rorêl dik lohna tam tak a tuar a. Jehova chuan Davida tleirâwl laiin Israel lal ni tûrin hriak a thih a. Mahse, Davida chuan a chipuite tâna lal ni tûrin kum 15 a nghah a ngai a ni. (2 Samuela 2:3, 4) A nghah chhûng chuan amah thah tumtu Lal Saula hnên aṭanga tlân chhiain, a biru a. * (Footnote en rawh.) Chuvângin, Davida chu a inah pawh a awm thei lo a ni.

Mahse, Davida chuan Israel rama lal ni tûrin kum sarih aia tam a nghah a la ngai a ni.—2 Samuela 5:4, 5.

¹⁵ Engvângin nge Davida chuan dawhthei taka nghah chu a inhuam? “Eng chen nge?” tia vawi li lai a zawhna Sâm bu vêkah chuan chhânna a pe a ni. “Nimahsela kei zawngin i ngilneihna hi ka ring a ni: i mi chhandamnaah hian ka thinlung a lâwm ang: ka chunga ṭha taka a tih tâk avângin LALPA chawimawiin hla ka sa ang,” tiin a sawi a. (Sâm 13:5, 6) Jehova’n a hmangaih tih leh a chungah a rinawm reng dâwn tih a hre bawk. Jehova’n tûn hmaa a ṭanpui dânte a ngaihtuah a, a hrehawm tawrhte a tih tâwpsak hun tûr pawh a beisei a ni. Davida chuan Jehova malsâwmnate chu nghah manhla tak a ni tih a hria.

¹⁶ Jehova chuan a tih duh loh thil engemaw ti tûrin min phût lo va. Ani chuan nghah peihna kawngah entawn tûr ropui ber a siam a ni. (2 Petera 3:9 chhiar rawh.) Entîr nân, tûn hmâ kum sâng tam tak kalta khân, Eden huanah Setana chuan Jehova chu dik lo takin a puh a. Jehova chuan a hming tihthianghlim a nih hun tûr chu dawhthei takin a “nghâk” a ni.
