Mahse, Bible chuan mi mal duh thlanna ṭha tak siam tûrin zalênna kan neih bâkah  chutianga tih theihna neia siam kan ni tih min zirtîr a ni. (Josua 24:15 chhiar rawh.) Bible-ah a hnuaia zawhnate chhânna hi kan hmu a ni: Zalên taka kan duh thlan theihna chu chin tâwk nei a ni em? Thu tlûkna siam tûrin kan zalênna chu engtin nge kan hman ang?

3. Engtin nge Jehova’n zalênna pumhlûm chu a hman?

³ Jehova chuan zalênna pumhlûm a nei a, zalênna a hman dân aṭangin zir theih kan nei a ni. Entîr nân, Jehova’n Israel hnam chu a mite, “a pual bîk” ni tûrin a thlang a. (Deuteronomy 7:6-8) Chutianga a thlan nachhan a awm a ni. Jehova chuan a ṭhian Abrahama hnêna a thutiam chu vawn a duh a. (Genesis 22:15-18) Chu bâkah, hmangaihna nei tak leh dik takin zalênna a hmang ṭhîn a ni. Israel mite’n a thu an âwih loh huna a thunun dân aṭangin chu chu kan hre thei a. An thiltih avânga an inchhîr tak zet chuan, Jehova’n an chungah hmangaihna leh zahngaihna a lantîr a. Ani chuan: “An hnungtawlhna hi ka tidam ang a, . . . anni chu ka hmangaih hrim hrim dâwn a ni,” tiin a sawi. (Hosea 14:4) Jehova’n mite ṭanpui nân a duh thlanna a hman dânah entawn tûr ṭha min hnutchhiah a ni!

4, 5. (a) Pathian pêk zalên taka duh thlan theihna chu tu nge dawng hmasa ber? (b) Eng zawhnate nge kan inzawh ṭheuh vang?

⁴ Jehova’n vântirhkohte leh mihringte chu zalên taka duh thlan theihna neiin a siam a. A thil siam hmasa ber chu Isua a ni. Pathian anpuia siam niin, zalên taka duh thlan theihna a nei a. (Kolossa 1:15) Isua’n zalên taka duh thlan theihna chu engtin nge a hman? Leia a lo kal hmain, Pathian chunga rinawm reng a thlang a, Setana thlâwp loh leh a helnaa tel loh a thlang a ni. Leia a lo kal khân, Setana thlêmnate hnâwl chu a thlang a. (Matthaia 4:10) Tichuan, a thih hma zân khân, Isua’n a Pa hnênah A duhzâwng tih a duh thu a hrilh a. “Ka Pa, rem i tih chuan he no hi ka hnên ata la sawn rawh; nimahse keia thu ni lovin, nangma thu thu ni zâwk rawh se,” tiin a sawi a ni. (Luka 22:42) Isua entawna Jehova chawimawi nân leh a duhzâwng tih nân zalên taka duh thlan theihna hman chu kan tân tihtheih a ni em?

⁵ Keini pawh Pathian anpuia siam kan nih avângin Isua kan entawn thei a. (Genesis 1:26) Mahse, Jehova neih ang zalênna pumhlûm chu kan nei ve lo. Jehova’n chin tâwk nei zalênna min pe a, chu chu pawm tûrin min beisei tih Pathian Thu-in a sawi. Entîr nân, chhûngkuaah, nupuite chu an pasalte thu hnuaiah an intulût tûr a ni a, naupangte chuan an nu leh pate thu an âwih tûr a ni. (Ephesi 5:22; 6:1) Chutiang chin tâwk neihna chuan kan zalênna hman dânah engtin nge nghawng a neih? Chu zawhna chhânna chuan kan chatuan nunna a nghawng thei a ni.

6. Kan zalênna hian chin tâwk a neih a pawimawhzia târ langtu entîrna pakhat sawi rawh.

⁶ Chin tâwk nei zalênna chu zalênna dik tak a ni thei ang em? Ni thei teh meuh mai! Engvângin nge? Chin tâwk neihna chuan min vênhim theih vâng a ni. Entîr nân, khawpui hla takah zin kan tum a. Mahse, motor khalh dân kaihhruainate a awm lova, chu bâkah, mi tinin an duh anga chakin leh an duhna lam lamah an khalh a ni. Chu kawnga i kal chuan him niin i inhria ang em? Hre hauh lo vang. Chin tâwk neihna hi zalênna dik tak kan hlâwkpui theihna atâna thil ṭûl a ni. Jehova ruahman he chin tâwk neihna kan hlâwkpui theih dân târ langtu Bible entîrna ṭhenkhat i lo en ang u.

7. (a) Adama leh ramsate inkâra danglamna pakhat chu eng nge ni? (b) Adama’n zalên taka duh thlan theihna a hmanna pakhat chu sawi rawh.

⁷ Jehova’n mihring hmasa ber Adama a siam khân, vântirhkohte hnêna zalên taka duh thlan theihna a pêk ang chu a pe ve a. Mahse, Pathianin ramsate chu zalên taka duh thlan theihna a pe lo. Engtin nge Adama chuan zalên taka duh thlan theihna chu ṭha taka a hman? Ramsate hming pêk chu nuam a ti hle a. Pathianin, “an hmingah engnge a vuah dâwn tih hriat nân Adama hnênah a hruai hlawm a.” Adam’n ramsate chu ngun taka a en hnuah, hming awmze nei tak a pe a. Chu chu Jehova’n a tih danglamsak tawh lo. “An hminga a lo vuah apiang chu an hming a lo ni hlen ta” a ni.—Genesis 2:19.

8. Engtin nge Adama chuan zalên taka duh thlan theihna chu a hman sual a, chu chuan eng nghawng pawi tak nge a neih?

⁸ Jehova’n Adama chu lei hi paradis-a chantîr tûra mawhphurhna pein heti hian a hrilh a ni: “Chi tam tak thlaha lo pungin, leilung hi luah khat ula, in thu thuin awmtîr rawh u; tuifinriata sangha chungah te, chunglêng sava chungah te, thil nung leia bawkvâka kal zawng zawng chungah te thu nei bawk rawh u,” tiin. (Genesis 1:28) Mahse, Adama chuan ei phal loh thei rah ei chu a thlang ta a, chutiang chuan Jehova ruahman chin tâwk neihna chu a ngaihthah a ni. Zalên taka duh thlan theihna a hman sual avângin, mihringte chuan kum sâng tam tak chhûng hrehawm an tuar phah a. (Rom 5:12) Adama thu tlûkna siamin a nghawng pawizia chu i hre reng ang u. Chu chuan, kan zalênna a ṭha zâwnga hmang tûr leh Jehova min pêk chin tâwk neihna pawm tûrin min chêttîr ngei ang.

9. Jehova’n a mi Israelte hnênah eng duh thlanna nge a pêk a, engti tûrin nge thu an tiam?

⁹ Mihring zawng zawngte hian Adama leh Evi hnên aṭangin ṭhat famkim lohna leh thihna kan rochun a. Mahse, zalên taka duh thlan theihna chu kan la hmang thei reng a ni. Chu chu Pathianin Israel hnamte a dâwr dân aṭangin kan hre thei a. Jehova’n anni chu a ro thlan bîk an nih dâwn leh dâwn lovah duh thlan theihna a pe a ni. (Exodus 19:3-6) Chu hnam chuan Pathian mite nih an thlang a, Pathian ruahman chin tâwk neihna chu an pawm a ni. “LALPA sawi zawng  zawngte chu kan ti zêl ang,” tiin an sawi a. (Exodus 19:8) Lungchhiatthlâk takin, chûng mite chuan a hnuah Jehova hnêna an thutiam chu an bawhchhia a ni. Chu thil thleng aṭang chuan thil pawimawh tak kan zir thei a. Zalên taka duh thlan theihna thilpêk chu ngaihlu rengin, Jehova hnaih leh a dânte zawm chu i tum tlat ang u.—1 Korinth 10:11.

10. Mihring ṭha famkim lote hian zalên taka duh thlan theihna chu Pathian chawimawi nân an hmang thei tih Hebrai bung 11-a entîrnate’n engtin nge a târ lan? (A thupui chunga milem en rawh.)

¹⁰ Hebrai bung 11-ah, Pathian Jehova ruahman chin tâwk neihna zahtu mi rinawm a hmei a pa mi 16-te hming kan hmu a. Anni chuan malsâwmna tam tak an dawng a, nakin hun beiseina ropui tak an nei bawk a ni. Entîr nân, Nova chuan rinna nghet tak a nei a, a chhûngkua leh nakina thlah lo awm tûrte chhanhim nâna lawng tuk tûra Pathian kaihhruainate chu a zâwm a ni. (Hebrai 11:7) Abrahama leh Sari chuan Pathian thu âwihin, an hnêna pêk A tiam ramah chuan an kal a.Ur khawpuia “hâwnna remchâng” an nei chung pawhin, nakin hun tâna Pathian thutiamte chu an ngaihtuah tlat a. Bible chuan “ram ṭha lehzual” thlen an tum tlat zâwk tih a sawi. (Hebrai 11:8, 13, 15, 16) Mosia chuan Aigupta rama rote chu hnâwlin “rei lo tê atân sual nawmna hlimpui ai chuan Pathian mite nêna tihduhdah tuar,” a thlang zâwk a ni. (Hebrai 11:24-26) Chûng a hmei a pate rinna chu entawnin leh zalên taka duh thlan theihna chu ngaihluin, chu chu Pathian duhzâwng tih nân hman i tum tlat ang u.

11. (a) Zalên taka duh thlan theihna hman avânga malsâwmna ropui berte zînga pakhat chu eng nge ni? (b) Zalên taka duh thlan theihna a ṭha zâwnga hmang tûrin engin nge chêttîr che?

Chu chu eng nge ni? Bible-a Deuteronomy 30:19, 20-ah hrilhfiah a ni. (Chhiar rawh.) Châng 19-ah chuan, Pathianin Israel mite chu duh thlan theihna a pe tih kan chhiar a. Châng 20-ah, Jehova’n anni chu amah an hmangaihzia târ lan theihna hun remchâng a pe tih kan hre bawk. Keini pawhin Jehova biak kan thlang thei a. Chu bâkah, Jehova chawimawi nân leh amah kan hmangaihzia târ lan nân zalên taka duh thlan theihna chu kan hmang thei a ni!

12. Zalên taka duh thlan theihna chu engtih nân nge kan hman ngai loh vang?

Mahse, mite’n an zalênna chu an hmang sual a, duh thlanna ṭha lo an siam, a nih loh leh mi dangte tih nat nân an hmang a hmuh chuan a rilru a na hle ngei ang. Bible chuan “ni hnuhnûngahte” chuan mite’n ‘lâwm nachâng an hre lo vang’ tih a sawi a. (2 Timothea 3:1, 2) Chuti chu, engtin nge Jehova hnên aṭanga kan dawn zalên taka duh thlan theihna thilpêk hlu tak avânga kan lâwmzia kan lantîr theih? Chu mi hman sualna chu engtin nge kan pumpelh theih?

Kan zalênna chu thil dik lo tih nân hmang lovin, ‘Pathian ropuina tûr hlîra’ tih nân kan hmang zâwk tûr a ni.—1 Korinth 10:31; Galatia 5:13.

¹⁴ Jehova chuan: “Kei hi LALPA in Pathian, in ṭhatna tûra nangmahni zirtîrtu, in kalna tûr kawnga hruaitu che u chu ka ni,” tiin a sawi a. (Isaia 48:17) Jehova kan rinchhan a ngai a, duh thlanna ṭha kan siam theih nân a ruahman, chin tâwk neihna chu kan pawm bawk tûr a ni. “Tungchhova kal mihringah hian, a pheikhai hruai tûr a awm lo,” tih hi inngaitlâwm takin kan pawm a.

Mahni inrinchhan aiin, ‘thinlung zawng zawnga Jehova rinchhan,” i tum tlat bawk ang u.—Thufingte 3:5.
