Hi salm hi uartuk mi hla a si i a tlangtar hmanh hi "Bawipa Ṭhatnak" tiah auh a si. Vawlei cungah kum zabu thluangthluan in biaknak lei ca vialte lakah a ṭhat tuk caah a sangbik hmun ah chiah a si. A rel mi paoh, a no he a tar he, miphun kip nih, zeibantuk dirhmun le caan hmanh ah hi salm chungin daihnak an hmuh i thlarau lei thazaang tampi an i lak i diriamhnak an hmuh cio. A dirhmun hun chim ahcun hi salm nih Pathian aa bochannak le a zumhnak hi, hi hla i a thaw a si tiah kan ti khawh ko lai. Pathian nih zeitluk in dah a zohkhenhnak kong kha duhnung tukin a lang. A biahram domhnak ah vuivainak le a ral nih an leirawinak zei hmanh a chim lo; aa thawkka in a biakilhnak tiang lawmhnak bia a chim; a cung i a dong kho lomi Pathian ṭhatnak kha a chim.[1] Hi Salm cu bochannak salm tiah auh a si fawn. David cu tuu dirhmun ah a dir i a Pathian cu Tuukhal dirhmun ah a dir. Cucaah hi salm cu siangpahrang salm ti zong in auh a si ve. Biakam Thar he an hun pehtlaih ter tik ah Jesuh cu kan Tuukhal Ṭha a si i a tuu hna nih an i bochan (Jn. 10); Siangpahrang zong a si i a pennak cu tling khitkhet te in dirh a si te lai (Lk. 23:2, Bia. 17:14).[2] Salm caṭialtu cu Bawipa he naih tein an um ṭinak nih Pathian dawtnak kha hmanthlak phun hnih in a langhter i cucu: kilvengtu Tuukhal le dawtnak a ngeimi Rawldangtu hna hi an si. Hi salm a ningpi in a nun a langhnak cu daite in umnak lungput, daihnak le lungsihnangamnak hna hi an si.[3]
Hi salm cu drama zoh bantukin kan hun zoh ahcun dot thum in a hun i then (caang 1-4; caang nga le caang ruk). Drama kan hun hmuhsak (piah) tik ah a hmasabik puanzar kan hun on tikah pastor nih a turuun a zohkhenhnak hmanthlak, Pathian cu kan Tukhaal dirhmun in a hun lang; puanzar kha an hun cawi ṭhan i a dothnihnak puanzar an hun on ṭhan tikah Pathian cu rawl a kan dangtu in a hung lang ṭhan. Cuticun puanzar cu hun zual ṭhan a si i a donghnak i puanzar an hun on tikah Pathian cu zungzal kan inn sinak in a hung lang. Hihi Salm 23 i a hmanthlak pakhat cu a si.[4] Siaherhmi pakhat te hun tenh ko rih u sih law: Phung an kan chimhnak ah Palestine ram tuu kawm an sakning hi a ṭha tuk i a kil li in fek tein an kulh, an chon ti a si. Amah belte inn-ka kha tawhhrenh umlo in an chiah. Mi nih a ziah, hi tluk fek in tuu kawm cu nan sak i a kil li in zeibantuk ral le sahrang le mifir hmanh nih an bauh khawh lo ding in nan sak ko na in inn-ka tawhhrenh a um lo? tiah bia an hal tawn hna ti a si. Cu tik ah tuukhal ṭha nih bia a leh tawnmi hna cu "tuu kawm inn-ka cu keimah hi ka si a ti hna. Tuu an fir duh le seh an duh ahcun tuukhal pa nunnak an laak hmasat hnu lawng ah an thah khawh hna lai tinak a si. Cucu Bawi Jesuh nih Johan 10 chung ah khan a langhter tiah Tanhlin Phe Twin nih cun a kan chimh ve.
Caang khatnak: Bawipa cu Tuukhal a si timi hmanthlak nih a hun langhtermi cu bawmtu ngei lo nih dawtnak ngantuk in zohkhenhnak a hmuhnak a si. Hi caang ahhin salm caṭialtu nih amah pumpaak caah Bawipa cu a Tuukhal a si kha a chim ko nain Biakam Hlun ningpi in Yahweh Pathian cu Tuukhal a si ti kha an i cawnpiakning a si i 'Israel caah Tuukhal' tiah Pathian cu bochan a si (Slm 80:1; 79:13; 95:7; 100:3) i pumpaak cio bak in a zohkhenh hna tiah an zumh.[5] 'Ka herhmi vialte a ka pek dih' tiah a hun timi nih zeitluk in dah Pathian cungah lungsihnangamnak a ngeih ti kha a lang i Pathian nih Israel miphun caah khamhnak tuanbia a ṭial piakmi hna kha lungthin mitthlam ah a langmi cu a si. Kum 40 chung ramcar chung i an vahvaihnak hmanh ah chambaunak zeihmanh ngei lo in Pathian nih a zohkhenh hna (Deut. 2:7; Neh. 9:21). Hika i salm caṭialtu nih chambaunak zeihmanh ka ngei lo a hun ti tik ah Pathian thawngin atu lio a nunnak le hmailei a nun lamthluan ca tiang in a chimmi a si.[6]
Caang hnihnak: Hi caang zong nih hin tuukhal sining hmanthlak kha fiang deuh in a hun langhter ṭhan. Aa ruahchannak kha mithmuh kuṭawngh in a hun tem tikah cucu Pathian bawmhnak le hruainak thawngin a si ti kha a hngalh. 'A ka hruai' a hun timi nih nichuahlei tuukhal hna sining kha a hun fianter khun i cucu nemte in an tuu kha an hruai hna, an hmai in an kal i an hruai hna ti hi a si (cf. Isa. 49:9f). Lai Baibal Thiang nih dinhhmun ti pawngah tiah a hun timi hi hrilhfiah zong nih an hrilhfiah ciami biafang kha a hman. Tiva kam i dinhnak hmun tinak zong a sullam a si kho i i tharchuahnak caah 'ka nunnak asiloah ka thlarau cu na tharchuah' ti zong in fian khawh a si (cf. Ezek. 34:13); tidil ṭhapi, cucu ti a luang zungzal lo i a carmi tiva tikawrong ah ti khon i tidil hun serpiakmi phun zong khi mitthlam ah an hung cuang.[7] Dinh hmun ti pawng kong ruah tik paoh ah Nambar 10:33 chung bia hi thinlung hnathlam ah a hung langmi a si i Bawipa Kuang nih Israelmi a hruai hna i dinhnak hmun i a hruainak hna kha philh awk ṭha a si lo.[8]
Caang thumnak: Pathian zohkhenhnak hi ṭhal le khuasik caan hmanh ah duhdim te le khim tein an hmuh khawh zungzal. Khuacaan nih a chuahpimi vial lawng in a zohkhenhnak hna hi a si lo; tuu nih hnangamnak tling le thazaang thar he ramhring lak ah tlonlennak caanṭha an hmuh zungzal. Pathian umpinak kha an thazaang thar a si i an caah nunnak le man ngei ngai in an nun khawhnak cu a si.[9] Cun hi caang chung i 'ahmaanmi lam ah a ka hruai' a hun timi ahhin dinnak lam asiloah lamding tinak zong a si. Kamhmi lam (promised destiny) lei ah him tein tinhmi kawltung lei tiang a phan khomi lam a si (Ex. 15:13; 32:34; Deut. 32:12; Slm 5:8-9; 78:14; Bia. 7:17). Hi dinnak lam nih man a ngeihtermi cu Pathian le minung kan i pehtlaihnak hmanthlak kha a si i cucu kan zatlang nun i a langmi kha a si. Hi dinnak cu siangpahrang nih a ngeih dingmi nunzia mawi a si i mah ṭanghuih nunnak a hlawmi nun, duhdanhnak a um lomi nun kha a si (cf. 2 Sam 23:3; Gen 38:26; Slm 15:2; Phung. 1:3). Hi ahmaanmi lam timi nih mibu nun a sersiam.[10] A ngaingai ti ahcun hi dinnak lam kan ti lengmang mi hi thlarau lei i lawmhnak tling kan hmuh khawhnak lam chung i a kan hruaitu, a kan kalpi tu kha a si.[11] Cu lam cu amah salm caṭialtu nih aa tuah aa sial khawhmi lam kha si lo in 'a min thawng in' a zawh khawhmi lam kha a si. Phundang deuh in kan chim ahcun Yahweh Pathian thawng in a kal khawhmi, Pathian velngeih cawnpiaknak lam kha a si (cf. Isa. 63:14).[12]
Caang linak: Hi caang nih a hun chimmi ruahchannak hi salm caṭialtu nih a hmuh tonmi cung in Pathian aa bochannak, a Bawipa cu a caah himnak le dornak le lungsihnangamnak a petu a sinak kha a hun langhter. Pathian nih a nunnak cu a thuk bikmi muihnak chung i a kal lio hmanh ah a zuah i himte in a chiah. Cu harnak le ningzahnak, lunglennak a tonmi vialte kha Pathian he naih tein an um ṭinak thluachuahnak he a hun ruahchih tik ah a Pathian sin ah thla a cam. BAWIPA tiah a hun hmanmi hi thlacamnak aw a si. Hlan i a ral hna ruang ah a tonmi tem innak vialte kha Bawipa zohkhenhnak thawngin a hna a ngam i lawmhnak bia chimnak ah a lungthin cu aa lawm.[13] Hi caang chung i muihnak horkuang tiah a hun hmanmi sullam cu thihnak thladem tinak zong a si i a muimi thladem ti zong in fian khawh a si. Sahrang lak le mifir damiah lak i tuu an dirhmun kha hmanthlakbia in a hun lak i cu ral vialte chungin tuukhal nih ralvennak ah aa ken tawnmi tanbo (2 Sam. 23:21; Mik. 7:14) le ṭhiangṭhunh kong kha a hun chim. Tanbo nih hin sahrang le mifir damiah hna ral kha a ven i ṭhiangṭhunh nih cun muihnak le ṭihnung mi horkuang chung i a kalnak ah lam a hruai. Cu hna cu a caah hnangamnak petu kha an si.[14]
Caang nganak: Hi caang ahhin cun salm caṭialtu caah Pathian cu rawl a dangtu dirhmun ah a biakalning kha a hun i thleng. A lungthin ah hun chuah dawh a simi cu biakinn i raithawinak rawl a pekchanhnak le biakamnak a tuahmi kha a si (cf. Slm 116:17f; 1 Sam. 1:3,9). A ral hna hmai ah cabuai a hun piak i rawl a danghnak kha a hun chim. Hi ral hna hi salm caṭialtu a lung a rawh tertukmi le fahnak fakpi a petu kha an si ko lai. Hi hna zong hi biakinn i raithawinak zanriah le biakamnak an tuah lio ah a sin ah an um ve ko lai. Cu bantuk lungput ṭha lo a ngeimi hna hmai ah rawl a serpiaknak le chiti a thuhnak kha a hun phuan. Chiti hmelchunhnak hi lawmhnak a si i lawmhnak puai ko ahhin an hman khun (cf. Slm 45:7; 92:10; 133:2; Amos 6:6; Lk. 7:46). Rawldangtu nih a pekmi a hrai cu a liam in a liam a ti. Petu nih a pekmi hi a liam thluahmah caah petu pa hi minunsiang a si kha a lang i rawl a danghmi hna caah duhdim tein a peknak hmanthlak kha a si (cf. Slm 116:13).[15]
Caang ruknak: Bawipa ṭhatnak le dawtvelngeihnak nih nifatin a nunnak ah a hun zulhnak kha Pathian aa bochannak le a zumhnak in a hun langhter. Nikhat ca men le caan tawite ca lawng i lawmhnak phun kha si lo in cu nakin a ngan deuhmi thlarau laksawng lawmhnak taktak zong kha a hun chim: 'na inn cu a zungzal in ka inn a si lai,' a ti.
