Bunsien ngi shim sting bha ia ka jingdon ryngkat ka jong U Blei bad kata ka jingshim sting teng teng ka pynlong ia ngi ba ngim tip ruh ba U Blei U don bad ngi bad U don ha syndah jong ngi.

Kane ka text ka iathuh ia ngi ba hadien ba U Jakob u la tuh noh ia ka jinglong hymmen na U Iso, U Iso u la bitar bad u la beh ban pyniap ia u. Ban pyllaitim ia U Jakob ka Rebekka ka kmie ka la phah ia u ban leit sha U Laban uba long u hymmen jong ka uba sah ha Haran (Jenesis 27:43). U Jakob u la hap ban phet 450-mile ban leit sha U Laban haba u phetrieh na ka jingbitar u hymmen jong u, bad ynda ula poi kumba 70 mile u sngewthuh ba u donkam ban shongthait bad u donkam ban ioh ia ka jingjahthait. Kumta u la jied ia ka jaka ba u lah ban pynjahthait ialade, u la jied ia ki maw ba un leh syngkhlieh bad u la thiah. Kam don kano kano kaba kyrpang shaphang kata ka jaka, ka dei beit ka jaka kumba long kiwei ki jaka, nga mutdur lehse ki maw hangta ruh ki long kumba long kiwei pat ki maw bad U Jakob u la leh syngkhlieh da kita ki maw bad u la iohthiah. Pynban, dei hangta ba U Blei U la wan ban paw ha u bad ban kren ha u lyngba ka jingphohsniew bad ynda u la kyndit na kata ka jingphohsniew u la kylli, (Jenesis 28:16) “shisha U Trai U don ha kane ka jaka; bad ma nga ngam shym la tip ia kata.” Ka long kaei kaei kaba sngewsih haba ngim tip ba U Blei U don ryngkat bad ngi, bad ka la long bad U Jakob, u ruh um tip ba U Blei U don ha kata ka jaka. U A. W. Tozer uba dei u pastor bad u nongthoh haba u batai ia kane ka jingiashem ka jong U Jacob u thoh ia kine ki kyntien, “That was his trouble, and it is ours. Men do not know that God is here. What a difference it would make if they knew!” (Kata ka long ka jingeh ka jong u, bad ka jong ngi ruh. Ki briew kim tip ba U Blei U don hangne. Katno kan kham long kaba pher lada ki tip!).

Bunsien ngi ruh kumba long U Jakob ngim tip ba U Blei U don ryngkat bad ngi, bad namarba ngim tip teng teng ngi leh ia kiei kiei kiba pynsngewsih ia U Blei, bad lada ngi tip nga ngeit ba kata hi kan iarap bad iada ia ngi ban leh ia kano kano ka ban pynsngewsih ia U Blei ha ka jingim ka jong ngi.

Ka Kitab ka Esther ka pyni shai sha ngi ba kam da donkam ia U Blei ba Un da pyni ialade lyngba ki jingjia kiba phylla, kam don kata kaba U Blei U pynkad ia ka duriaw arliang, ne ban pynkyllon ia ki kynroh Jerikho kumba long ha kiwei ki kitab ban pyni ba U Blei U don ryngkat bad la ki briew. Hynrei ha ka kitab ka Esther ka don tang ka jingkular kaba U Blei U kular ban pyllaitim ia la ki briew (Esther 4:14), bad ka jingmaham ba yn ym don mano mano ba lah ban pynmynsaw ia ki Jiw (Esther 6:12-13), ngim iohi ia ki dak phylla ha Ka Esther ne U Mordekai haba ki pyllaitim ia la ki briew, hynrei ngim lah pat ban len ba dei ka jingdon ryngkat ka jong U Blei bad Ka Esther kaba pynlong ia ka ban nud ban kheinduh iala ka jingim na ka bynta ban pynim ia la ki briew.

Kumba long Ka Esther bad U Mordekai, ki don ki por ha ka jingim ka jong ngi kaba ngim lah ban iohi ia ki kam phylla ki jong U Blei, ngim lah ban iohsngew ia ka sur U Blei ba U kren kumba u kren para briew, kumba ka la jia ia U Moses, hynrei kata kam mut ba U Blei Um don bad ngi, bunsien ngi im ka jingim kaba ngi sngew kumba U Blei Um don hajan namar ba ngim iohi ia kita ki dak phylla jong U, pynban kumba U Blei U don ryngkat bad ka Esther bad U Mordekai, U long ryngkat bad ngi ruh watla ngim iohi ia kita ki dak kiba phylla jong U.

Hynrei kito kiba la ju iohi ia ki kambah bad ki kam phylla ki jong U Blei ka shitom ia ki ban sngewthuh ba U Blei U don ryngkat bad ki ha ka jing jar jar. Kumba long ia U Elijah, U Elijah udei u briew uba la iohi pyrshah ne markhmat ia ki kam phylla ki jong U Blei kiba pyntikna ia U ia ka jingdon ryngkat ka jong U Blei bad u. Kum ka nuksa, ha u lum Karmel haba u ialeh bad ki nongiathuhlypa jong u baal u la iohi kumno ba ka ding ka hap na bneng ban thang ia kata ka duwan (1 Ki Syiem 18:20-40). Hynrei mynta ha kane ka por haba u mad ia ki jingeh haba u la dei ban phetiap ban pyllaitim iala ka mynsiem haba ka Syiem Jesebel ka beh ban pyniap ia u, u la leit ban rieh sha ki krem bad hangta u sngew kumba U Blei Um don, haba la jia ka jingkhynniuh u la mutdur ba U Blei U don ha kata ka jingkhynniuh, nangta sa ka ding pynban hangta U Blei U khlem pynpaw ialade, bad ka la pynlong ia U Elijah ba un mih shabar ban peit ban iohi ia ki kam phylla ki jong U Blei ban sngewthuh ne pyntikna ba U Blei U don ryngkat bad u, u klet ba wat hapdeng ka jing jar jar U Blei U don ha syndah jong U.
