*********************************************************

Ka phang ia kaba ngin ia peit ha kane ka taiew ka long shaphang ka jingkohnguh (Obedience). Kane ka text (1 Samuel 15:22) kadei ka jingkren ka jong u Samuel ia u Syiem Saul hadien ba u Syiem Saul u la wan ban ialeh ia ki Amalek. U Saul haba u la ialeh ia ki Amalek um shym la kohnguh ia U Blei haba U Blei u la ong ia u ba udei ban pynjot lut ia ki Amalek bad ia ki jingdon jingem jong ki pynban u Saul u la rah ia kiba kynsai tam, bad ia ki jingri ba kynsai tam sha ka hima ka jong u, bad kane ka jingleh ka la pynbitar ia U Blei. U Blei haba U la kylli na u Saul, u Saul u la ai daw ba u rah ia kita ki masi bad ki jingri kiba kynsai tam jong ki Amalek sha ka hima Israel ba un ioh ban ai bad pynlong ka jingknia sha U Blei, bad U Blei lyngba u Samuel U la ong (1 Sam 15:22), ‘ka jingkohnguh ka khamlah ia ka jingknia.’

Ka jingmut ba kyllum jong ka jingkohnguh katkum ka Old Testament bad New Testament, ka jingkohnguh kalong kata kaba ngi shahskhor ia ka sur jong kata ka bor kaba halor. Kawei na ki ktien Greek kaba batai ia kane ka ktien jingkohnguh (Obedience) kadei ka ktien Hupakouo, bad katkum kane ka ktien, ‘Ka jingkohnguh ka thew ia kata ka jingsngewthuh ka jong ngi ban buh ialade ha ka jaka kaba ngi pynhapoh ialade na kita ki bor kiba don halor jong ngi.’ Kane ka ktien Hupakouo ka thew ruh ia ka jingshaniah. Kumta haba ong kohnguh kam mut eh tangba ngin sngap bad shah skhor ia kita ki bor kiba halor, hynrei ngi shaniah ruh ha ki. Ka jingkohnguh kam dei tang kaba ngi sngap bad shahskhor bad leh ia kaei kaba U Blei lyngba Ka Ktien ka jong U, U ong ia ngi ban leh, hynrei ngi dei ban shaniah ruh ha U. Katkum ka Holman's Illustrated Bible Dictionary haba ka batai ia ka ktien jingkohnguh ne obedience ka thoh, “to hear God's Word and act accordingly” (Ka jingkohnguh ka dei kaba ngi sngap bad shahskhor ia ka ktien ka jong U Blei bad ngi leh kumba Ka Ktien ka jong U Blei ka ong ia ngi ban leh). Ka Eerdman's Bible Dictionary ka thoh kumne, "Obedience, involves the physical hearing that inspires the hearer, and a belief or trust that in turn motivates the hearer to act in accordance with the speaker's desires." (Ka jingkohnguh kadei kata kaba ngi sngap da ki skhor ba kynja doh jong ngi bad kata ka jingsngap ka ktah ia ngi ki nongsngap, bad da kata ka jingsngap ka pynngeit ia ngi bad ka pynkhih mynsiem ia ngi ba ngin leh ia kaei kaba ngi iohsngew ban pynsngewbha ia uta uba kren ha ngi).

Kumta ban buh ha ki kyntien kiba lyngkot, ka jingkohnguh katkum ka Bible kadei kata kaba ngi sngew bad haba ngi sngew ngi ngeit bad haba ngi ngeit ngi aiti ruh iala ka jingim sha U Blei ban leh ia ka mon ka jong U kum ka dak jong ka jingkohnguh ia ka ktien ka jong U.

Jingduwai: - “Ah Trai, aibor ia nga ba nga lah ban kohnguh ia Me bad ban leh ruh tang ia ka mon kaba khuid ka jong Me.” Amen.
