   - Lal Dena

            January 11, 2012 kha ka pieng champha a nih a, I am now 73 years young. Kha tuk khan zing dar liin ka thova, Sam Nambar 1-na le 23-na ka tiem zovin, tawngtaina ka nei a.

Ka dam lai khuolzinnaa ka thiltuok le tawnhriethai le inzawmin ramtin ramtang kan ngaituo a. Chu laia ka ngaituonaa hung inlang pakhat chu mihriem dam hun sung inchen lo rup hi a nh. A then hlamzuiin an thi a, a then naupang lai an thi a, a then nunghak tlangval lai an thi a, a then nupui papui hnungin an thi a, a then nawk chu tar kuna dam an um bawk. Thi dan le thina san khawm an ang naw rup bawk si. Chuphingleh hi zawna hin topui thei ta lovin a mi hung mawr a: “Pathienin mihriem dam chen ding hi a lo ruot lawk am aw?”

Thuthlung hlui huna mi hmasahai kha an dam sawt thei khawp el a. Adam  thlahai a tam lem kha kum zakuo chuong dam vawng an nih a. Mehalalel kum zariet le sawmkuo le panga a dam a; Enok kha kum zathum le sawmruk le panga a dam a; Enok naupa Mathusel kha Thuthlunghlui huna dam sawt taka hriet a ni a, kum zakuo le sawmruk le pakuo a dam a nih. Lamek khawm kha kum zasari le sawmsari le pasari a dam.(Gen.5:1-31). An dam sawt thei veng veng khawp el.

Nova hun lai khan Pathien naupahai le mihriem naunuhai an hung innei pawl nei nuoi a, Pathien a lungsen a, “tuta inthawk chu kum za le sawmhni bak dam ta naw ni hai” tiin a hril a (Genesis 6:3). Mi thenkhat chun Pathienin mihriem dam kum a suktawina niin an hril a. Thenkhat nawk chun mihriemhai chu suol hle hai sienkhawm, an simna dingin hun a pek thu hrilna an inkawktir thung. Nova kha kum zakuo le sawmnga a dam a, a thlahai khawm kha kum zathum chuong dam deuh vawng an ni nawk tlat. Ieng khawm nisien, Thuthlunghlui huna damsawt dan kha Adama inthawka Mosie hun chena ei en chun a tla hnuoi tiel tiel a nih.

Chart pahnina khi ei en nawk chun, Nova kha kum zakuo le sawmnga a dam a. Sema kha kum zahniah a hung tla hnuoi dawr a, Arpasad, Sela le Eber hai kha kum zali chuong an dam seng a. Kha taka inthawk khan Serag, Tera le Aron ti naw chu mihriem dam hun sung kha Mosie hun chena tlak hnuoi tieng a pan pei a nih.

Mi tam tak chun mihriem dam chen chu kum sawmsari, kum sawmriet niin ei hril hlak a. Thangsana ei hmang tak khawm Mosie tawngkam Sam Nambar 90 chang 10-na hi a nih: “Kan dam sung chu kum sawmsarih, Hrisel leiin kum sawmriet khawm; Dam sawt chu rimsik tuor sawtna, Lungngai sawtna chauh a ni si”. Mosie tawngkam hi khawvel mihriem le suon la hung um pei ding hai dam chen dinga Pathien ramri khang a ni nawh. Sam Nambar 90-na pumpui Mosie’n a hrilna san, a hmun le hmang (context) chu hi hi a nih. Nambar 14: 29-30: “Nangni laia intiema thang tah, kum sawmhni le a chung tieng, ka chunga chier po po ruong chu thlalerah hin zal a tih. Jefune naupa Kaleb le Nuna naupa Josua ti chauh naw chun, ban phar meuha in umna hmun dinga ka tiem ram chu tu khawmin lut naw ti niu”. Thlalera khan Israelhai kha kum sawmli an invai a. Chu umzie chu Kana ram an lut tawm tep khan Isreal mi Kadesh Barnea an hel tan laia kum sawmhni chuong hai kha kum sawm sari, kum sawmriet dam an hung tling tawl ta a nih. Khang lai huna Israel mi chier le hel hmanghai dam chen hun dinga Sam Nambar 90-na pumpui hi Mosie’n a ziek a nih (Richard W.DeHaan, The Living God, 1967, pp.43-44).  Hi lai huna Israelhai chungthu bik hrilna a nih a, suon thar la hung um pei hai dam chen dinga hrilna a ni nawh.

Mihriem khawsak danin hma a hung sawn dan dungzui peiin dam sawt hun khawm a hung danglam peih a nih. Political theorists, Thomas Hobbes, John Locke le Rousseau-hai ring dan chun a tir chun mihriem nun hi a mawl a, a tawi bawk an lo ti hlak. Amiruokchu, civilization a hung insang tiel tiel a, mihriem dam kum khawm a hung insang tiel tiel pei a nih.

Tulai hun thara lem hin chu thilsiem le hmangruohai a hung changkang pei a, hriselna hlutsakna (health care) tieng hma ei hung sawn pei a, mihriem dam chen kum khawm a hung insang ta peih a nih. Mihriem dam chen hisapna UN (2005-2010) le CIA Factbook (2011) a um ve ve a. CIA Factbook (2011 Estimate)-in life expectancy a siem hi rambung pakhata inthawka sawmhnina chen zuk bi vak ei tih.
