Politics kichi ka line ahisih a, nanleh Khristian ihileh Bible deidan bangtah a Politics bang chi sai ding chi tupna toh mawltah a laibu tuomtuom akipat kaikhawm a hing giel ding ka hizaw a, iphat tuompi theina dingin simtu zousie Mangpa Pasian in Ama (Pasian) deidan a Politics saithei tadin hing guolzawl chiet tahen, chi ka thumna ahi hi.

Politics kichi ahiding bang tah a akisai leh asietna aum sih a, nanleh mimal hamphatna ding, let leh lalna ding deina zieh a Khristian hina manghil zen a isaina un politics kichi isuhnia uh ahizaw hi. Khristian ihi uleh Politics sailou ding ka chi sih a, nanleh i Khristian hina manghil zen a isaina un hoina sangin sietna lienpi hing tun ahizaw hi. Tua ahileh Politics kichi koite sai ding e? Tuami thei khietna din laibu tuomtuom leh Seminar paper bangzat ahiei apat kaikhawm in tamna anuoi a te mawltah in isutkhawm ding hi, tuate ahileh:

POLITICS HILCHETNA:

Politics kichi Grik thumal “Polis” apat kilakhie ahia, Mang haam in “The State” china ahi hi. Politics ichi chiengin “Vaihawmna dan” (the art of ruling) china ahi hi. Grik thumal a “polis” khu “Khopi a hinna” (the life of the city) ahi chia hilchen pawl zong aum hi. Ahina toh gen ding hitalei, “Politics kichi mihingte hoina ding, bitna ding leh khantouna nasepna zousie a genna” ahi hi. John Stott gendan in, “Zautah a gen in politics in gam khat hindan leh a sunga teng mite mopuohna akaw hi. Tuami ziehin politics in gam khat a tengte hinkhuo zousie ahuop kha hi. Politics ichipen Community khat a tengkhawm theina siemna ahi” (it is the art of living together in a community) achi hi. Aneuzaw deu a gending hilei, “Politics in asai ahileh gam khantouna dinga policies bawl ahi. Politics ichi khu society a kikhelna umna dinga thuneina lasawnna ahi” (it is about gaining power for social change) chi ahi kia hi.

i) Politics leh Sakhuo: Mipil masate thupil gennei mama khat “Work is worship” chia a um a Pasian silsiemte adieh a mihingte hoina ding a nasepna khu Pasian biehna leh nasep thupi pen khat ahi. Indiate Pa chia chiemte a um Pu Mahatma Gandhi in, “Gandhi adia sakhuona khu mi hinpite adia nahoi sepna ahi ziehin sakhuo nasepna (religious duties) dia politics alut ahi” akichi hi. Tunia igam sunga Politics saitute a political philosophy (concept) uh adih masia a politics saidan uh dih ngailou ding ahi uhi. Thupil khat in, “Na Hagau mit lou inzong sakhuo mit sawm in” akichi hi. I gam a Politiciante khu Khristian ngen ahi ua, nanleh a khristian hina uh manghil zen in agam tang uhi (imai election hun ah ana en ulechin chieng mai ding hi).

PASIAN LEH POLITICS:

Pasian leh Politics kichi thumal khu thu lamdang khat ahi a, Bible gendan thei beilam na din mawltahin hichin isut ding hi. Tuate ahileh:

i)                   Politics alienzaw a etna: Pasian nasepte’n leitung, leinuoi leh huikhuo ahuom suo hi (Gen. 1: 1, Deut. 9: 16, Ps. 148: 5, Jn. 1: 1 & 3). Tomkim a gen din “Sil zousie Pasian bawl leh aneitu ahi” (Exo. 9: 16, 1Chro. 29: 11-12, Ps. 33: 6, Acts 17: 25, 28, Rom 11: 36). Tam Pasian nasepte leh asaitu din Pasian in mihingte mopuona apieh hi (Gen. 1: 26-28). Tam etkawlna ah Pasian in leitung pienchil akipat ana koi khawmsa system ahiman in tuamun a umte Pasian in aguot ahi chin Bible in agen hi (Rom 13: 1-3). Nanleh Pasian guot banga um theina din tulai politician ten mipi deitelna sangin Galvan tawite toh pangkhawm in tua mopuona alazel na un Pasian leh Bible deidan a Politics asai uhi, akichi ngam na diei mah chi khu ahi hi. Kei mimawl mudan leh ngaidan in, “Sum senglou leh Galvantawite toh pangkhawm lou a mipite deina toh tua mopuona tangte khu Pasian lemguot hidin ka ngai sun hi, nang zong na chi sih amah????” (I gam peidan enkawm a ka hing get ahi, koima mimal dem hilai zanglou kahi, aselam a nala leh kei gennuom dan toh kikal na hia, amoh ken ka posih ding hi).

ii)                 Politics aneuzaw a etna: Gam khat ahiei, biel khat sunga khantouna ding, lemna leh muonna a upna dinga nasepna ahi hi. Nang MLA, MDC lawchinna din na pienpi na sanggamte dougal a ki-en din phal sinlen, dougal-melma a ki-ente nang vang in nuikhawm, kihouthei hizaw din pan lasawm hi. Politics neuzaw a etdin, “Mangpa Jesu’n political party abawlkhe sih a, Ama hunlai a siltungte bangma a ngaisah nuom sih hi. Nanleh A nasep zousie khu political ahi”. 

HATTUOM LEH POLITICS:

Pasian silsiemte etkawlna leh nasepna khu Hattuom dinmun (a role) toh kisai a et ding ahi. Politics kichi Hattuom toh kisai ahimasa sih a, Sakhuona toh zong kisai ahimasa tuon sih hi. Tam gamsung vaisaina ah Moral value leh hoina dan (virtue ethics) zui ding aum a, tuami zui khate a vangpha ua, azui khaloute a gam miten avangsietpi uhi.  Hattuom hina theichet dingte:

a)      Hattuom toh kisai:

i)                   Hattuom kichi bang adiei: Hattuom kichi khovel a kikepna (system) umsate hilou in Penticost ni a Pasian in (Jesu Khrist) aphukhiet ahi hi. Hattuom umnasan/ atup thupipen ahileh, “Khelna vanga anapuosa, tangawn shina tangdia umsa mihingte hundam/ tungdin kia a gingtute lah ah Pasian leenggam tun ding kia ding, Gingutte hinkhuo leh anasepna ah Pasian min suh thupi ding” chi khu ahi (Mt. 5: 13-16, Tit. 3:1-2, Eph. 2: 10, Phil. 1: 27, Jn. 18: 36, Lk. 17: 20-21). Tamte tup a neiin Pasian in Hattuom kichi ahing phut khie hi (Mt. 16: 18, 1Kor. 6: 20, 7: 23, 2Pet. 2: 1). Hattuom lutung khu Mangpa Jesu ahi hi (Eph. 5: 23, Kol. 1: 18, 2: 10). Nanleh Politics tup ahileh, “Politics in mihingte leenggam (political kingdom) bawlkhiet a, tua sungah tasahlam khantouna, lemna leh muonna umsah ding” chi ahi hi.

ii)                 Hattuom gamgi hoitan: Tam leitung peidan umsa sunga siltha Pasian in abawl pen bang tupna adiei, system umsate toh kisai bang dinmun a koi ding ahiei chi khu Bible pansan a theisiem ahisih leh a buoihuoi sil ahingsuo ding hi. Hattuom leh politics kibang ahi ichileh Hattuom hing kiphu khietna san in umzia anei sih ding hi. I gensa mabang in, Politics in “Tasahlam khosatna ding vai asai a” nanleh Hattuom in, “tasahlam hinkhuo a abeipei dingte pansan in Hagaulam nna asem hi” (2Kor. 4: 18, Kol. 3:2, Mt. 6: 19, Jn. 4: 13, 6: 27). Hattuom lamkaiten igamgi manghil zen a nasep khat inei chiengun i politics uh asia a, tuamin hattuom sung leh chi-le-nam kal tan ah buoina ahing pieng hi, tuami ziehin Khristian te i gamgi kansan in nasep kidiem mama vai….

iii)               Vaisan dan kiheng zel: Politics leenggam ah Kumpiten akul leh poimaw bangin thagum, thatang zangin vai ahawm uhi. Leitung kumpite Sum sen tamna pen khu gamsung humbitna dinga Galvan leina khu ahia, hinanleh Hattuom ah tuabang ahisih a, Pasian leenggam tunding nading, thagum hilou in itna, nunnemna leh ngaidamna chite toh ahizaw hi (Mt. 5: 39, Lk. 6: 29, 2Tim. 2: 24, Isai 53: 7, Mt. 26: 63, Mk. 15: 5, 1Pet. 2: 23).

b)      POLITIC NASEP:

i)                   Koi patawi: Politics in, mimal (politiciante) nasepte uang getna, mimal akan aval a kipatawina leh kitoisangna thu a uang gen mama a, nanleh Hattuom in vangin, “Jesu Khrist tanchin, Khantanhoi aung gen mama hi” (1Kor. 2: 2).

ii)                 Kidemna: Politics vai a party tuomtuomte kidem tuana, panpi tuom nei a kilang khen in thuneina akituh uhi. Vaihawmna innpi sungah zong vaihawmtu leh apposition a kikhenna aum hi. Nanleh Hattuom tup leh ngim ah tuate aum sih a, Bible in tabangte aphal vawt sih hi (Rom 16: 17, 1Kor. 1: 10, 3: 3, Jude 1: 19).
