Paul in, mihing a kipan hilou, Toupa Jesu mahmah a kiang a kilak in, a sap ahih dan genmasa in, tanchinhoih a tangkoupih pen tua, Jesu Khrist kilakna ziak a a muh ahih dan hilhchian masa hi. Pathian in mi, siam a tansakna ziak tuh, dan zuih ziak hi lou, mihing nasep leng hisam lou, ‘hehpihna ziak a ginna tungtawn a ngah’ ahih dan leng chiangtak in gelh hi. Hiai Pathian’ Thutak poimoh mahmah te, a bawngbawng in- a nuai a bang in sin khawm leng i chi hi.
I. Chibaibukna (Salutation) (1:1-5):
T.1na. Laikhaktu Paul ahih chiang tak in theihtheih hi. Paul, Jesu Khrist leh misi lak a kipan a kaithoupa, Pa Pathian ziak a sawltak, mihing sawlkhiak hilou, mihing vang a leng hi sam lou, (1:1) chi’n Paul in agelhtu amah ahih na taklang hi. Tua hunlai Laikhak gelh dan ngeina zui in a khakpa min in kipan a, tua zoh in a khaknate a gen hi.
Mithupi leh dinmun nei deuhte’n laigelhtu a nei tuam ua, gelhtu in a gelh ding teng a zoh chiang in a pu kiang ah pia in, aman amah khut mahmah in a genbeh nop saulou gelh beh in a zohna bawl sek hi. Thukhun thak hun lai in mi min a lai kikhak chih thangsak mahmah ua, sawltakliante (apostles) min mahmaha laikhak kigelh sak zong om hi.1
Galatiate lak a sinsakna diklou pualutten Paul sawltaklian ahihna leh a thuneihna mahmah zong kalh a gensia in Paul kichi kua ahia? Khristiante bawlsia a suangkulh peuh a khumpa hilou hiam chi’n muanlahna nei uhi. Tua hunlai in a diak in Judaten Jerusalem a vaihawmpawl, sanhedrin kichite hiam, siampulian sawl ahihkeileh ngaisanglou in pomtheilou uhi. Tua ahihman in Paul in Sawltaklian (apostle) ahihna a genchet kiphamoh hi. Amah ‘Sawltaklian’ ahih dan tuambik mahmah hi. Sawltaklian dangte bang in tangtak in Jesun sam in, a khebul ah sinsak in, a thilhih khempeuh musak kei mahleh, a tuambik tak in, Jesu mahmah kilak in, sapna leh sinsakna pia hi. (Nas.9; 2 Kor.12).
T.2na. Paul in amah kia a laikhak banglou tak in, ‘ka kiang a unau/sanggam om tengtengte’n’ chi’n a khak hi. Hiai ah ‘sanggam/unau’ kichi Grik ah adelphos ahi a, Judateen biakna thu-a ana zat gige uh gen nei tak - Jesu Khrist sisan apan pianpih (sense of belongingness) kineisak tak a kampau, Pathian inkuante genna a azat ahi.2 Paul in amah kia hilouin a ompih khristian ten zong tua sinsakna diklou mohpaih uh chih a taklat utna a amaute min a tuansak hi mahmah ding hi.
T.3na. Paul in simtute deihsakna pia masa in, ‘Pa Pathian leh i Toupa Jesu Khrist apan hehpihna leh lemna na kiang uah om hen’ chi’n a gennop hon pan hi. Paul in a laikhak teng ah, ‘hehpihna leh lemna/muanna’ chih thumalte zang gige a, amah tua thumalte zang masa pen hi ding in Laisiangthou sutmite’n gen uhi. Ei lak ah leng i kimuhtuah hun chiang in, ‘damjel maw, chibai’ i kichih zel bang in, Grik ten ‘Chairein’, Judaten ‘Shaloom’ chih zang uhi. Shaloom apan Arabic in ‘Shalaam’ hong piang hi. Hebru a ‘Shaloom’ chih a khiakna Pathian toh kituak/kilem a omna hang a khalam vualzawlna ngah ding genna a hi a, ‘Chairein’ chih bel ‘lungnopna’ chihna hi a, tua apan ‘charis’ huaituh ‘hehpihna’ hong piang hi. Paul in hiai thumal nihte zangkhawm in Galatiate deihsakna thukhah pia hi.3 Hehpihna bel Pathian apan phulouh deihsakna, Jesus Khrist a buching hi a; lemna-muanna bel mihing a hong gahkhiatna ahi. Hehpihna = a nak a hi a; lemna-muanna bel a luii a hi.
T.4na. I Pa Pathian’ deih dan bang a, tulai hun hoihlou a kipan a ei a hon suahtaksak theihna ding in, Khrist tuh i khelhnate a di’n a kipeta hi. Hiai a ‘suahtaksakna’ kichi bel i tuhun khovel gilou leh hoihlou apan pawtkhia/ suakta chihna hilou in, tua gilou leh hoihlou, mial thuneihna leh thilhihtheihna apan suakta chihna ahi hi. A gen chet nop tak chu, Setan deihdan leh hoihsak dan banga omloua om theihna thahatna genna ahi. Huan, Pathian maia mihingte siamtang leh poma i om theihna ziak tuh Khrist i khelhnate ziak a a kipiakna ziak ahi hi.
T.5na. Pathian’ kiang ah thupina tangtawn tangtawn in om hen! Amen. Hiai a Thupina kichi Grik ah ‘doxa’ hi a, tua apan ‘doxology’ (Pathian thupina piakna la) hong piang hi. Hiai omdan tak bel, Pathian hehpihna ziak a Jesu Khrist sihna tungtawn a mihingte hotdam hita chih thu a gen lai in, kipah luat ziak in Pathian phatna hon pia hi. Kamsuak a thupi chih thawh mai hilou, mihing kam tawh gen zoh vual hilou, thupina genna ahi. Hiai ah thumal poimoh tak Paul in hon zat, ‘Amen’ chih bel ‘hosanna’ (tuin hondam in), ‘Halleluiah’ (Toupa phat un), ‘Abba’ (Pa) chihte Hebru pau himahleh paudanga a kileh chiang in zong a ngeingei kila sawn sek hi. Hiai tuh, namkipna, ‘hi hen’ chihna in kizang zek hi.
II. Laikhaktu, Paul in a tup a genkhiakna (Paul, the Author’s purpose) (1:6-9):
Hiai Laikhak, kiphatmohna liantak a om ziak a khak ahihna bung khatna a muhtheih hi. Galatia Saptuamte a tangpi in zentel saptuam a hi uh. Amaute gindan diklou in nak tak in buaisak hi. Tua sinsakna diklou polutte Judaiserte (Juda biakna mi zuihsak sawmte) ahi uhi. Hiaite sinsak tuh, “Khristian hoihtak/diktak suahna ding in Juda biakna leh ngeinate hoihtak a zuih masak kul hi” chih a hi. A gen ot mahmah uh tuh, “Khrist ginna kia in hotdamna hon pe theilou, ginna leh Mosi Dan zuihna pangkhawm a ngah theih phet ahi” chiin sinsak uhi. Hiai sinsakna in Galatia saptuamte naktak in sawi ling in, Pathian’ Thutak gum a dingzoulou dinmun in hong om uhi. Paul lungtang deng a, sun mahmah ahihna ah, hiai sinsakna nakpitak in dou in, tuabang sinsakmite hamsiat hial hi. (1:9)
T.6na. ‘Khrist hehpihna ziak a nou hon sampa huchi guiha Tanchinhoih tuam lama na kisuansan uh lamdang ka sa hi’ Galatiate’n Paul apan ana zak uh, tangthupha dik taisan/nusia a, sinsakna tuam lam ana ngat guih mawk un Paul’ lunggil naa-sak mahmah hi. Hiai ah ‘taisan/nusia/kisuansan’ (1:6) chih hon zat Grik ah ‘metatithesthe’ ahi a, lungsim kheng guih a nusia chihna ahi. Ban ah, ‘Lamdang ka sa’ chih thumal hon zang nawn hi. Lamdang sakna, Grik ah ‘thaumazo’ a hi a, kiguih hial khop a omna genna a hi. Ahihleh Galatiate’n kua ahia a taisan uh? chih dotna om thei hi. ‘Khrist hehpihna ziak a nou hon sampa’ a chih in Paul amah kigen hitetlou in Pathian a genna ahi.
Ngaihtuahna a hong piang guihthei khat tuh: Paul amah chih bangbang chihpih nuamloute toh kipawlkhawm theilou, lungsimneu leh kochik nei dan a koih theih na om bang hi. Hilou e, eilawi khenkhat bang a lungsim neu nei hizaw lou hi (Phil 1:15-18). Pathian’ thutak ah muanhuai tak in dingkip le uh chih deihna ziak ahi zaw hi.
Tulai Khristian khenkhat bang a, ‘Pathian thu ahih nakleh bang a poi’ chi a, ngaihzam mai theih ahih hihlouh dan Paul in chiangtak in hilh chian hi. Zudaizerten, Jesu Khrist thu mah gen uh ahih lai in Judate ngeinate leh dan thupiakte zuihsak teitei a sawm uh Paul in tangthupha tuam chihsan hi.
T.7na. ‘Tanchinhoih dang himhim a a om kei, noumau hon hihbuai leh Khrist tanchinhoih hihlamdan ut kuatehiam om uh ahi zaw hi.’ Hiai Judaiserte nasep a hoihlouhdan chiangtak in gen hi. Salam a amaute (Judaiserte) toh kimuhsiamlouhna bang hiam a om man hi hetloua, thudik sinsakna chidam a gupna hang a tua bang thuhilhna leh sinsakna pia hi hizaw ahi, Khrist tangthupha kaihkawi a a om chiang in saptuam a buaisak hi.
Chiamteh tuak mahmah tuh, nidanglai hun hi in, tuhun hitaleh, saptuam sung subuaite hi polammite, saptuam doudaltute, gensia leh bawlsiate hi zawlou in, saptuamsung mi mah, Pathian thutak kaikawi nakte a hi uhi.
T.8na. ‘Koumau hiam, van a kipan a angel nangawn in leng, nakiang ua ka gen uh hilou, tanchinhoih dang hong gen a om leh, amah tuh hamsiat in om hen.’ Hiai ah Paul, thutak gum ngam, Pathian sepaih hangsan in kisuanglah hetlou in Judaiserte a mohpaih thu genkhe miahmiah mai hi. Judaten a kisaktheihpih mahmah uh “Dan” (Mosi Dan) apau lak a piakna pen vansawltakte tungtawn ahi chi in, tua thu hiai Judaiserten leng uang gen mahmah in, mi lungsim lazou mahmah sek uhi. Galatiate hihna hong kilang chiang mahmah tuh, mi a kipahpih lam uleh thupi a saklam uh thugenmite vantung apan Pathian mihing banga hongkilang hidan a ngaihsun thei pahpah mite ahi zawmah uhi. (Nas. 14:11). Paul in thei chiang mahmah in, amauten thupi tak a ana ngaihsa uh Judaiserte genna dana ‘vansawltak’ chih honzang hi kha ding hi. Thugentu: mihing hi in, vansawltak hitaleh, mihing ahihleh vansawltak ahihin thupo zenzenlou, setan mahmah leng vak sawltak (angel of light) a kibawl thei ahihna (2 Kor 11:14,15) leng hon gen khawm vek hi ding in ngaihsut theih hi.
Tua ahihman in Paul in hangsantak in tua tanchinhoih dang gente (tangthupha kaikawite) ‘hamsiat in om hen’ a chi hi. Hiai a ‘hamsiat/mohpaih’ kichi Grik ah ‘anathema’ a hi a, Hebru ah ‘herem’ huai tuh ‘Pathian hamsia nuai a om,’ ahihkeileh ‘Pathian thangpaihna nuai a om’ chihna ahi.
T.9na. ‘Ka gensa uh mah bang in, tuin ka gen nawn hi: Tanchinhoih na pomtak pen uh hilou, tanchinhoih dang na kiang ua hong gen a om peuhmahleh, amah tuh hamsiat in om hen!’ Hiai ah ‘ka gensa uh mah’ chih hon zat thakthakna in gen nei mahmah hi. A thugen pen poimoh lua mahmah, a poimohna Galatia saptuam ten a mat khak louh ua, a ngaihzam khak ding uh lau mahmah chihna ahi. Misonari khualzin khatveina AD 46-48 hun a Barnaba tawh amaute kiang a tangthupha a va gen masak lai ua, saptuam hong kiphuhkhiak hun mahmah in zong, sinsakna diklou hongpai kha ding ahih thu hilhkhawl khin uhi.4 (Nas.13:13-14:24)
Thukhitna: Judaiserten sinsakna diklou, naktak a a tangkoupih uh, “Khrist ginna kia in hotdamna hon pe theilou, ginna leh Mosi Dan zuihna pangkhawm a ngah theih phet ahi” chih in, Galatia saptuamte sulungbuai in, sawi ling zou mahmah uhi, Pathian’ Thutak gum a dingzoulou dinmun a hong om un Paul lungtang deng a, sun mahmah ahih na ah, hiai sinsakna diklou nakpitak a dou in, tuabang sinsakmite ‘hamsiat in om uhen’ chi hial hi. (1:9)
Galatia saptuamten ana phutkhakte uh tungtawn a sintuak om mahmah hi.
#. Mi thuzoh a om pahpahna: Galatia saptuamte’n mi a kipahpih lam uleh thupi a saklam uh, thugen siam, kamsiam leh gendan siamtaka misuphur thei, mithuzoh dan siam, thilpiak hoih taktak neite, vantung apan Pathian, mihing dan a hongpai bang khop a ngaihsun thei pahpah mite ahi uhi. (Nas. 14:11).
Chiamteh tuak: Setan mahmah zong vak sawltak (angel of light) bang a kibawl thei. (2 Kor 11:14,15)
#. Khalam pitu taklou: Galatia saptuamten Judaizerte, khalam pitu dia ana zat-khak uh poi petmah a na hi. Thudik/Thutak/Tangthupha a na pialsan / taihsan loh hial uh.
Chiamteh tuak: Khalam pitu taklou nei kha le poi mahmah di!
I tuhun ah leng, Galatia saptuamte tuah bang, mi thuzoh siam - mi lunglutna ding a vekdan siam, sinna/siamna sangtak nei, thutak/thuginpi apan hon pikawi thei ding omthei lua phet hilou, tuakkha zekzek i hihna ah, saptuam mipite, abiktak in, Pathian saptuam kemtute’n i khophawk mahmah uh poimoh gige hi.
Toupa’n Galatia Laibu i sin tungtawn in, Pathian’ Thutak taisan lou ding leh Paul bang a, Kemtu Muanhuai hizaw ding in hon ompih chiat hen aw. Amen!
