Tip na ka daw aiu-re, shu khie kynsan
buk ka thma hapdeng u kpa bad ka
kmie ki khun. U kpa u shim niat da ka siang khat-ja, bad ka kmie pat da ka siang khat-jyntah. Tlam ka tied ia u na shyllangmat bad hadien khyndiat minit, ka khmut jong u ka kylla dur kum ka jong u Hanuman. Ka jingiatalain wait hangta ka long kaba i-triem bad pynher mynsiem thik kumba iakhun ki gladiators ha ki Roman arena, bad ka jingriew haba ia tied para siang ka long kum ka jingtied u Kamar ia u tyrnem halor u rniang. Shiphang i kum ban jop ka kmie; shiphang i kum ban jop u kpa. Ki khiew ki siang, ki pliang ki pela bad ki mula ki la sied lut shane shatai. La i lymbrum lymbram ka iing ka sem bad la i kulmar thlim.
Ki khun rit ki ia lynniar, ki da kyrdem ia la ki kjat. Katta ruh ki gladiators ki ia am hi sia. Khatduh khatwai, u kpa u pyni noh ia la ka buit shynrang. U woh kjat ia ka kmie. Mar kumta hi ka la kylla lyndang bad ka jingshong jong ka ka hap ha ka dabor ha iing buh um. Lyngkrang ka thiah hangta da lyndang ryngkat ka ngab kaba la pher. “Pha dang nud ban kob biang”, la byrngem u kpa, u da phai dien bad iaid noh sha kyndong iing. Ka kmie ka khie bad ieng suki suki ryngkat bad u niuh-khlieh uba la pra rynjain bad tap ia ka khmut ka khmat jong ka. Ka iaid sha dpei bad ka shong halor lyngknot harud kata ka dpei, thapiur ka da pyndem ia la ka khlieh. U men-kpa ruh u tur sha jan jong ka bad shong ha syndah jong ka. Baroh arngut ki la ia thait ia jrem, la pang ka met ka phad. Tlip ki ia shong kynjah bad peit lyngngoh iwei ia iwei pat. Sa shiphang ki ia rkhie pohngam bad tap ia la ka shyntur da ka kti kamon. Nangta ki sdang sa ka ia dih sha bad ia bnok ia kane katai. U kpa u thum ia iwei i khun rit, ka kmie ka thum ia iwei pat. Ka jingialeh ka la wai noh.
Ka pdeng jong ka kam (the heart of the matter): ka dei bad urlong shisha kata ka jingong ki riew shemphang ba ki shi tnga kiba nap tang ka ia mai, ka ia kajia bad ka iashrut, niar eh ba kin ia phet bad ia khlad noh iwei ia iwei pat. Ha ki, ka jingieit ka long ka nongpyndait pain kaba khraw, ka long ka sorki ha ka jingiadei jong ki (love ia a cementing factor). U Elvis Presley ha ki sngi jong u, u rwai sngewbang-
I’ll be yours through all the years
Till the end of time.
U Cliff Richard ruh u rwai-
Once in every lifetime,
Comes this love like this;
I need you and you need me,
O! my darling, can’t you see?
Ka jingieit hapdeng ki arngut ka san bad ka plung haba kham jia ka thma pohiing hapdeng jong ki. U Paul u Apostol ha ka shithi jong u sha ki nong korinth, u iathuh ba “… ka jingieit ka iai shah slem, bad ka leh sbun… ka shah ia kiei kiei baroh…” . da ka bor ka jingieit ki duh ki dam ki jingiapher baroh. U tymmen uba la shyrbab u shongkha ia ka thei bhabriew; ka nong Ethiopia kaba iong rben kum ka karai ka ioh ia u men-kpa uba lieh kum ka dud.
A! Jingieit ba jylliew sat,
Ym don nongbatai shuh,
Ka long ka jingmaian kaba khraw ba u men-kpa bad ka men-kmie ki bym ju iamai ia-kajia bad kiba im kum ki shijur ki paro, tang pher tiak ki iaphet krad noh sha la ka jong ka jong ka lynti. Ki poi shong shnong sha kata ka ri bym don jingphai-dien shuh (the land of no return).
Phi don ban ong eiei?
