Bible le Halloween?

Halloween cu nitlaknak ram “western custom” ih nunphung pakhat a si. Bible ah direct ih nganmi a umlo. Sinan Bible thawn a kaihaw maw tih cu zohṭhim ding tampi a um.  Halloween ziang a si ti hi theih hmaisabik a ṭul.

Ziangsi Halloween timi?

Halloween timi a san taktak cu “All Hallows Day (or All Saint’s Day)” ´’mithianghlim pawlih ni ‘ tinak a si ih,  November 1 ih rak tuahmi a si. Halloween tin a rak cannak cu Mirang ih “Allhalloween, All Hallows’ timi an komkhawmmi a si. Cucu October 31 zanlamah “Evening and All Saint’s Eve” tin an tuah ṭheu. Asinan nehhnu vivo ah Halloween cu candy dil zan, trick-or-treating, pumpkins, mithla “ghosts” and mithi, thlarausual tivek pawl thawn nuamnak  zan ah a rak cang.

Zumtu in Halloween kan hmang ding maw?

Philippians 4:8 , “Thunetnak ah, ka u le ka nau pawl, a ṭhami, porhtlak a si mi, a taktak a si mi, upat tlak a si mi, a dikmi, a thianghlimmi, duhnungza a si mi le hminṭhatnak a petu thil pawl thawn nan thinlung cu khatter uh.”  tin in ti.  Cuti sile Halloween hi Pathian duh zawng daihnak, zalennak le rundamnak hrang a si maw lole nuamnak men ṭihnung zawngih puai tuahnak sawn a si?

Cubakah Bible  “witchcraft, witches, sorcery” dawi, khawsia, khuavang tivek hrimhrim Pathian duhzawng a si lozia hmuh theih a si. Leviticus 20:27 “Mipa siseh, nunau siseh, thimi thlarau a kotu pol le dawi thiam pawl cu lungto in den that an si pei; hibangtuk a tuahtu cu amah ih sual ruangah a thi a si,” tiah a ti. Deuteronomy 18:9-13 khalah, “Bawipa nan Pathian ih a lo pek dingmi ram nan thlen tikah cutawkih a rak um ciami miphun pawlih fihnungza umtlan daan pawl cu thlun hlah uh. Biakṭheng parih meisa ah nan faale pawl cu thawinakah pe ve hlah uh; nan minung pawl lakah tinzohthiam siseh, dawithiam siseh, aizingthiam siseh, pol siseh,  miham thiam siseh, mitkher thiam siseh, mithi kawh thiam siseh, cupawl a tuahtu zohman um hlah haiseh. Cubangtuk fihnungza thil a tuahtu pawl cu Bawipa nan Pathian huatmi an si; curuangah a si hmaiih nan nor deuhdeuh tikah hi miphun pawl a dawisuahnak cu!  Bawipa nan Pathian ih rintlak taktak si dingin um uh.”  

Halloween tel ve a poi maw?

 Ephesians 5:11-12, “Milai ih tuah ṭheumi santlai lo thil le khawthim sung thil pawl cu a dai in dai hlah uh. Cubangtuk thil pawl cu tleunak ah thlenpi sawn uh. Thim sungah a thlithup ih tuahmi thil pawl cu ningzakza an si; a ṭong hman ṭong ngam ding an si lo.  (2 Corinthians 6:17) “Cule Bawipa in:“Annih pawl tlansan uhla, an hnen ihsin ṭhen aw uh. A thiang lomi cu a dai in dai hlah uh; Cutin ka lo cohlang hai ding. “

Bible ih Pathian duh zawng tuah ding in simmi cu  Exodus 22:18; Leviticus 19:31; 20:6, 27,. Acts 8:9-24, Acts 13:6-11 le Acts 19:19) pawl khalah siar a theih.

Cuti sile Halloween cu zumtu pawlin kan hmang lo ding maw? Kan fa le nauhak tete  princess , cowboy le super hero pawl vekin hnipuan an hruk ih candy an dil a sual maw? Sual lo. Sile ziangmi si kan hrial ding mi a um maw? Um lawlaw!  Nu le pa pawl in fa le nauhak pawl candy dil an feh ding le setan ih thlemnak telmi party nak le ṭihnung (satanic character) tivek telmi hnipuan hruklo ding a thupi zia sim ding. Thil fate tak teten setan a cangvai ṭheu.  Zumtu pawl hivekih tel a duhmi cun Philippians 1:27 thawn a kaih aw maw ti check aw ta seh.

Hivek caan ah kawhhran hrekkhat cu Pathian thu ca “tracts” tete ,  Halloween candy thawn an zem ve ṭheu. Ziang khal sile zumtu cun Romans 14 in sim vekin, kan tuahmi ah Pathian hmin a sunglawi maw timi zoṭhim in ziangkim tuah sawn ding kan si.

Kawhhran tampi ah, lucky ticket tiih kan theitlangpi bikmi paisa malte in ticket lei ih thil man tampipi ngah dingih sumpai hawl hi tuah a si ṭheu. Zumtu hrekkhat cun, hivekih kawhhran sungih sumpai hawl hi Bible thawn a kaihawlo tin a duhlotu an um ve.
    A duhlotu pawlih an simbikmi cu, hivek tuahnak ihsin, sumpai malte in, thil mankhung zet ngah duhnak le duhhamnak a suaktir thei ti a si. Cubakah, hivek tuahnak ihsin, thil dangdang “gambler mentality” timi olten (shortcut) milian siduhnak lungput a suaktir an ti.
   An duhlonak pakhat lala cu hivekih kawhhran ih sumpai hawlnak tuah hi Bible ih kawhhran sumpai laklutnak ding timi ah a tello ruang khalah a si. Bible ih fialmi a si lo. Pathian hnaṭuannak hrang cu ṭhenhra ṭhenkhat le thawhhlom in sumpai lut ding a si sawn an ti. (e.g., Numbers 18:24; 2 Chronicles 29:31; Malachi 3:10). Second Corinthians 9:7 khalah, “Zozo khal a thinlung a ṭhencat ngah hnuah pe seh; sir awknak thawn pe hlah seh; ka ṭuanvo a si, ti khalin pe hlah seh.

Lucky ticket leitu tampi cu mah lungtho teih lei siloin, pakhat khat ka ngah ve pangah lole loh theihlo in lei tir ruangih lei a si tikah thinlung tellomi cu Pathian in a sanglo.

    Judas Iscariot aiawhtu ding Matthias an hril lai khalah Acts 1:26 hivek phun (a bangaw ciah lonan, camcawhfung zuk an hmang) an hmang ko an ti ve. Asinan Bible thiam Scholars tampi cun, dungthluntu pawlin Pathian ih tumtahmi/khaukhihmi hngak ṭenṭo loih anmah duhnak in an tuah an ti ve.
