Laisiangtho: Pasian’ Kilaakna
(The Bible: God’s Revelation)
A. Pasian’ Kilaaknana Tuamtuamte
Laisiangtho pen Pasian in a hihna,a nasepte, leh a gelnate a laak nadinga a gel ahi hi. Ciangtan om lo Pasian in a bawlsa mite’ tunga kilaak ding a sawmna pen a kilawm mah hi a, nate a piansakna-a a tupna a tangtunsakna ahi hi. Ngaihsut theihna a nei mite in amaute a Piangsakpa’ thu a theih nadingua a hanciam dinguh zong a kilawm na khat mah ahi hi. A kipiangsak khempeuh lakah mihingte a sangpen hi-a, a Piangsakpa thei thei-in amah tawh kikholhkhop theih nading hih theihna nei ahih leh a Piangsakpa in zong a tupna leh a deihnate laka, a piansak mite tawh kizopna a bawl ding zong a kilawm mah ahi hi. Pasian in amah leh amah a kilaakna ah lampi thum zangin kilaak hi.
1. Piansakna-a Pasian’ kilaakna. A kipiangsak nate’ tungtawnin a tawntung Pasian’ vangliatna leh ama’ pianziate kilaak hi (Rom.1:20). Hih leitung mahmah Pasian’ bawlsa ahihna in Pasian pen a kiciangtan lo vangliatna leh pilna nei a hihna a kimu thei leitung mahmah zong pilna tawh tupna nei-a a bawl ahihna hong lak hi. Pasian’ itna ahih kei leh a sianthona cihte tel takin lakkhia thei lo ahih manin nate’ tungtawna Pasian’ kilaakna in kicin lohna tampi mah nei hi. Lawkite in amah a biak loh manin Pasian in thu a khen nadingin kipiangsak nate’ tungtawna kilaakna pen a kicin teii hangin, a siangtho Pasian tawh kilemkik nadingin hotkhiatna lampi bel lak zo lo hi.
2. Khazih’ sunga kilaakna. Pasian’ kilaakna thupipen bel Pasian’ seh huna suak (Gal. 4:4) Zeisu Khazih’ mimal leh nasepnate ahi hi. Mihingte in a tel theih dinga Pasian mahmah a pulaak dingin Pasian’ Tapa leitung ah hong pai hi. Ci leh sa-a hong pianna tawh mihinga hong pian ciangin, thu danga mihingte in a tel theih loh ding thute a kiciangtan mahmah mihingte’ theih theih dingin hong kilak hi. Tua mah tawh kizui-in, Khazih sung ah Pasian’ vangliatna leh ama pilnate kilaak bek lo a, Pasian’ itna, Pasian’ hoihna, Pasian’sianthona, leh Pasian’ hehpihnate zong hong kilaak hi. Zeisu Khazih in, “Kei hong mute in Pa mu khin hi” ci-in na gen hi (John 14:9). Tua ahih manin Zeisu Khazih a thei mi peuhmah Pa Pasian a thei ahi hi.
3. A kigelh Thu-a kilaakna. A kigelh thu in Zeisu Khazih’ mimal leh nasepnate sang nangawnin a kicianzaw-in Pasian pulaak thei zawlai hi. I gensa mahbangin Zeisu Khazih pen a kigenkhol den leh tua genkholhnate a tungtunna hi, cih hong hilh Laisiangtho mah ahi hi. Ahi zongin, Laisiangtho in Khazih thu a bul a bala hong gen ciang bek hi lo-in, Israel mite’ adinga Pasian’ gelna, minamte’ adinga Pasian’ gelna, leh pawlpi adinga Pasian’ gelnate hong laakkhia a, mihingte’ tangthu leh Pasian’ bawlsa nate’ thu a cingin hong hilh hi. Lasiangtho in Pasian’ thu a thupipen-in gen bek lo-in, tua Pasian’ gelnate zong hong hilh hi. A kigelh kilaakna in na khempeuh huam hi. Nate’ tungtawna kilaak Pasian tawh kisai thute genkik bek lo-in Khazih sunga Pasian’ kilaakna thu a kigenna zong Laisiangtho bek mah ahi hi. Pa Pasian-a kipan Tapa, Khasiangtho, vantungmite, dawite, mihing, mawhna, hotkhiatna, hehpihna, leh minthanna thu cihte tawh kisai Pasian’ kilaaknate zaii takin gen hi. Tua mahbangin Laisiangtho pen a kicing zo lo piansakna tungtawna kilaakna, Khazih sungah a cingzaw-a kilaakna, leh a kigelh Thu sunga kilaakna khempeuh a kicinna hi, ci-in kingaihsun thei ding hi.
B. A Tuam Vilvel-a Kilaakna
Mihingte’ tangthu i et ciangin Pasian in a tuam vilvel-a kilaakna mihingte na pia den hi, cih kimu hi. Eden Huan sunga mite tawh a kiho bangin, ahih kei leh Thuciam Lui hun lai-a kamsangte a hopih bang, a hih kei leh Thuciam Thak sunga sawltakpite a hopih bangin mihingte hopih den hi cih thu Pasian’ Kammal sungah kikhum hi. Thu kilaakna tuam vilvelte pawlkhat Lasiangtho sungah kikhuma, tuate bek mah thuneihna nei humuapna tawh kikhum kilaakna tuam vilvel i neihte ahi hi.
Laisiangtho bu 66 a kicin ciangin, kilaakna tuam vilvel cih zong a huampi-in a bei hi ta hi. Kuamah peuhmah in thumaan thutak cih theih dingina kigelhsa Laisiangtho tungah taang khat beek behlap thei nawn lo hi. Apocrypha sunga kibehlapte mahmah in zong Laisiangtho sunga thute ban zo peuhmah lo a, Laisiangtho kigelhna Pasian’ humuapna zong kihel lo pah hi.
Tuhun ciangin tua kilaakna tuam vilvel mun ah Khasiangtho’ nasepna kimu thei hi. Khasiangtho in Laisiangtho mun khatpeuh i tel theih naidngin i lungsim hong honsak ciangin, tuhun adinga Pasian’ kilaakna hi a, mimal nuntakna leh kiim leh paam omzia tawh kituakin Laisiangtho khiatna neisak hi. Tua Khasiangtho theihsakna tawh kokhawmin mi khat’ nuntakna-a kisapna tuamtuamte ah Laisiangtho thumaan thutakte a kizat theih nadinga lamlak zong Khasiangtho nasepna mah ahi hi. Khasiangtho theihsakna leh lamlahna i cihte Pasian’ nasepna taktakte ahih hangin, mi khatpeuh in Laisianghto tel khin kiuhkeuh ding cihna hi lo a, vai khempeuh ah Pasian’ makaihna maantakin tel thei ding, cihna zong hi lo hi. Tua ahih manin, theihsakna leh lamlahnate Khasiangtho nasepna maan taktakte ahih hangin, a khial thei mihingte’ khut sungah a khial thei lo Laisiangtho bang hi zenzen lo hi.
Ahih hangin Laisiangtho’ gen nop taktak bang hiam cih a pulaakna Kahsiangtho nasepna lo-in I Corinthians 2:10 a a gen bangin thumaan thutak kitel thei taktak lo hi. Khasiangtho in Pasian’ Kammal thumaan thutak hong lah kula, Khasiangtho in hong hilh kul hi (1 Cor. 2:13). 1 Corinthians 2:14 a a gen mahbangin, “Tua Kha a nei lo mite adingin Pasian’ Kha pana hong pai nate haina suak ahih manin a sang kei uh hi. Bang hang hiam cih leh, khalam tawh kikhentel thei bek ahih manin amah in tuate a theitel thei kei hi. Tua thu nah tawh kizui-in, Christian hi lo a Khasiangtho in a hilh loh mite’ adingin a khiatna theihna tawh kisai-in Laisiangtho pen a khakcip laibu tawh kibang hi. Laisiangtho sin mite’ lampang leuleu ah Pasian’ Khasiangtho in a hilh theih nadingin Pasian tawh naitak-a a kalsuan khop kul lai hi.
C. Laisiangtho Khiatna
Khazih sunga thu-ummi khat Khasiangtho in Pasian’ Kammal khiatna hilha, Khasianghto tung panin killakna a ngahna ah Laisiangtho khiatna-a buai theihnate kilang pah hi. “ Hermeneutics” kici Laisiangtho khiatzia i tel theih naidngin zuih ding thubul pawlkhat kisam hi. Pasian Kammal hong hilh dingin Khasiangtho tungah kingakna khat a om teii hangin, zuih ding thugil pawlkhat om veve hi.
1. Laisiangtho buppi’ tupna. Laisianghto i khiat ciangin, mun khat peuhpeuh a kiim a paam a nung a ma tawh etkaak ding hi a, Laisiangtho amah leh amah kitukalh ngei lo hi.
2. Laisiangtho sunga laibute in gennop thu tuam khat tek nei. Laisiangtho mun khatpeuh i khiat ciangin tua mun a omna laibu bang tupna tawh kigelh hiam cih i ngaihsut ding kisam hi. Thuhilhsia bu i sin ciangin Kilaakna bu ahih kei leh Late tawh kibang het lo a, tua laibute a kigelhna a a tupna tawh kituaka khiat ding ahi hi.
3. Kua’ tunga kigen cih thu. Laisiangtho khempeuh Pasian’ humuapna tawh a kipia kim ahih hangin, Laisiangtho khempeuh a kizat theihna mun kibang khin zenzen lo hi. Up khialhna tampite Laisiangtho zat khialhna pana piangkhia ahi hi. Tua ahih manin Laisiangtho mun khatpeuh sim ciangin kua’ thu kigen ahi hiam cih i ngaihsut phat mahmah kul hi. A gen nop bulpi leh i nuntakna a zat theihna cih thute i khentel mahmah ding kisam hi. A gen nop bulpi i cih ciangin Laisiangtho a kigleh cilna a mi khat, ahih kei leh mi pawlkhat genna hi a, gentehna-in, Galatians laikhak a kigelhna mite leh David in a gelh Late khat, cih bang a gen nuam i hi hi. Tua mahbangin Laisiangtho mun khatpeuh i nuntakna mahmahah a kizat theihna om kim den phiala, tua muna kigen mite’ ading bek hi lo-in a huampi-a lak thieh dingin om hi. Tua ahih manin, Thuciam Lui sunga thukhamte bang Israel mite’ tunga kipia ahih hangin tuhun-a Christian-te in Pasian’ sianthona a kilaakna bangin kisim thei-a, ei’ adinga i lak ciangin a kigen thute a khiatna dangin la-a hamphat lawh theih luat ahi hi.
4. A nung a ma. Laisiangtho mun khatpeuh i hilhcian cianga ngaihsut peelmawh ding thu khat bel tua mun tawh kizom a nung a ma et ding cih thu ahi hi. Mun khata kigen thu khatpeuh i tel theih nadingin a nung a ma-in hong hilh thei hi. Laisiangtho mun khat peuhpeuh nung leh mai limtaka i etna in tua mun in bang gen nuam taktak hiam cih hong telsak hi.
5. Tua thu tawh kibang mundanga kigen thute. Laisiangtho amah leh amah kitukalh ngei lo ahih manin, mun khatpeuh ah thugil khat a kigelh leh tua thu mah a kigenna mun dangte tawh a kituah hamtang ding kisam hi. Tua bel systematic theology nasep hi deuh a, Pasian’ kilaaknate limtakin gual-a Laisiangtho mun dang khat beek tawh kitukalh het lo dinga hhanciamna ahi hi. Laisiangtho sunga laibute khat leh khat kitkalh lo-in khat leh khat kipanpih zaw ding hi. Gentehna-in, Daniel bu ahih kei leh Thuciam Lui sunga genkholhnate in Kilaakna bu khiatna kitelsak mahmah hi. Laisiangtho a gelh Khasiangtho ahih manin mun khat a kigen thu i tel nadingin a dang mun khat in hong huh hi.
6. Laisiangtho mun khatpeuh a kammalte a khiatna telkanna. Laisiangtho gen a kigelh cilna ah Hebrew ahih kei leh Greek kama kigelh hi a, a kiteina ah a khiatna a suk khak lian ding haksa thei hi. Tua ahih manin Laisiangtho mun khat in bang gen lian hiam cih i theih nadingin tua kampaute i theih kul hi. Tua bang sinna theihna a nei lote nangawn zong tua bang lam a siam mite’ gelh hilhcianna bute leh hilhtelna bute in nakpi-in hong pan pih ding hi. Laisiangtho hoih taka kitei khatpeuh kicing mahmah a, ahi zongin pilna sangpi a neite’ gennate tungtawnin i telna kibehlap hi.
Kammal kizangte’ khiatna bang hiam cih i khensat banah, Laisiangtho maan taka khia mi peuhmah in mun khatpeuh genkaakna nam-a (figure of speech) kigen hi cih a kitel sinsen kei nak leh kigen banga lak pah ding (literal meaning) ahi hi. Gentehna-in, Israel mite a kikamciam leitang peuh vantung gam banga khiat ding hi lo a, Holy Land kigenna banga khiat pah ding hi pah hi. Tua mahbangin, Israel mite’ tunga kipia kamciamte peuh Khazih sunga Gentile thu-ummite ading peuh a lak ding hi lo hi. Laisiangtho khiatna maan taktak i cih genkaakna (figure of speech) taktak hi ci-a a nung a ma-in hong lahte longal a hi banga khiat pah lel ding hi, cih thu ahi hi.
7. Deihkaih lo ding. Laisiangtho khia mi peuhmah in Laisiangtho buppi a simna tungtawna a lungsim kizawhna upna paipi tawh a khiat ding ahih hangin, a omsa ngaihsutna tawh kituak dingin tua mun in a gen hiau thu peuh gensak pongmawk ding hi lo hi. Laisiangtho mun khat peuhpeuh a dang mun dangte tawh a kituah pak lohna a om kha phial zongin tua mun in a gen nop thu gensak phot ding ahi hi.
Laisiangtho i khiat ciangin Laisiangtho i cih Khasiangtho in a hilh mi khempeuh in a tel theih ding ngimna tawh hong kipia hi, ci-a i ngaihsut ding thupi mahmah hi. Laisiangtho pen thumaan thutak hilh dinga Pasian’ hong piak hi a, hoih taka a kikhiat ciangin Laisiangtho buppi tawh kitukalh lo-in mun dangte tawh zong a kituak diimdiam upna laigil hong hilh den hi.
