BIBLE STORIES REMIXED

I was cleaning out my junk the other day and came across this piece I wrote almost five years ago. I had written it in one of my countless notebooks, and it was by sheer chance that I discovered it, and what a discovery it was!! I thought of putting it in English, but feared it would lose its flavour, and it would take too much thumbing of my English Bible. So here it is, unabridged, with the same old title, spelling mistakes and all.
*****************************************************************************
Atirin Pathianin lei leh van a siam a.
Abrahama chu mi thuawih thei tak ani.
Tin, Abrahama chuan, "Lalpa, Lalpa, nangin engatinge mi tihduhdah ni?" a ti a.
Lalpa chuan, " Ka beramte chawm rawh," a ti a.
"Ka pu, khaina engmah I nei si lo a."
"Israel ramah hian nang lo pawh hi Baal hmaa la thingthi lo mi 7000 lai ka la nei asin."
"Lalpa, I thu ang zel ni rawh se."
Tichuan Abrahama chu a thova, sebawng no chu a talh ta a. Amaherawh chu a u a rawn haw a, a rawn lungnilo ta em em mai a. "Uite pawhin an pute dawhkan atanga tla te chu an ei thin asin ni," a ti a. Abrahama chuan,"Chhiahhlawh tam tak I nei alawm, I duh leh tir ta che," a ti a.

Nova chuan, " Chhuak ula, kawtthlerah te, daiah te kal ula, pachhia te leh hmeithai te va sawm rawh u, ka inah eitur a tam si a," a ti a.
Tichuan an chhuak a, sabengtung no thlun chu an va hmu ta a, an phelh a an kai a. A neituin a lo hmuh chuan, " Kha kha engatan nge in tih," a lo ti a. An zinga pakhat chuan, " Ka fapa hi a thi a, a lo nung leh ta anih hi, a bova kan hmu leh ta a nih hi," a ti a, a tlan a, a ir chuktuahin a fawp ta ngawih ngawih a.

"Josef, tho la, u nupui hual Mari hruai la, ram ka la entir tur che lamah chuan kal rawh. Tichuan I tan a tha anga leiah hian I damrei bawk ang."
"Mahse Lalpa, naupang mai ka la ni si a,tawngkam te ka thiam si lo va. Ka nu leh pa ka va vui phawt anga chuan ka kal ang e."
"Rintlempa, miin khawnvar halin hrai hnuaiah an dah ngailo, a dahnaah an dah zawk thin. Nang do chu kei mi do an ni si a."
"Engtin nge ni ang Lalpa, zankhuain leng kan deng tawh a, sangha pakhat pawh kan la man si lo va."
"Mut thlahlel suh, I lo pachhe dah ang e. Tho la I awngphah la la, ke in kal rawh."

Jakoban chu chu a hmuhin a lungnilo em em a, Pharoa kaihzavengtu hnenah chuan, " Ngai rawh ka hrilh a che, nangin ar a khuan hmain vawi thum mi phat ang," a ti a.

Chu thu chu a lo hriatin Heroda chu a thinrim ta em em a, Mosia chu a kohtir a. Mosia hnenah chuan, "Ka hnenah kum sarih dang thawk leh la, tichuan Aigupta ram pum hotu ah ka siam ang chia, I hming pawh ka tiropui ang," a ti a. Mosia chuan parva chu a thlawhchhuahtir a, a thlawhbo hma chu a en reng a. Heroda hnenah chuan, " Ngaiteh, van inhawng te ka hmu a, Pa Pathian ding lama Mihring Fapa thu pawh ka hmu," a ti a. An vela mite chuan, "Uaiin an rui anih hi," an ti a.

"Sim rawh u, vanram chu a hnai tawh e. Ngaiteh u, thing tin bulah hreipui an dah ta, a then a leh za te, a then a leh sawmthum te, a then a leh sawmruk tein an lo rah ta.

Amah tihtute chu thangthar thlengin a khawngaih zel thin."

  1. oh gawsh, girl! LOlzzzzzz I don't know whether to commend you on such a thorough knowledge of the Bible, or whether to start praying for you. Lolz. I take it that five years later, the confusion has been somewhat sorted out?! Anyhow, let me put down on record my appreciation for such a creative re-narration as yours!

  2. Thanks Doc!! ALways a nice feeling, being appreciated. When you attend Sunday School regularly for the first 15 or so years of your life you are bound to get some Bible knowledge, what say??

  3. Awiiiz lal ambs, i van phuah thiam em em! How did you do it? I felt like I was watching a cleverly edited video that kept morphing images one into the other. Hats off to you.

    Erm...a heads up. You might get branded a heretic if this falls into Synod hands :P

  4. It was like this, J. Way back in 2001-02 me and my pals used to tell this story a lot, this remixed thing, each one contributing some story or the other from the Bible. I just took the time to sit down and put it in writing. The credit should actually go to those long lost friends of mine.

    And I don't worry about being branded heretic, because I don't think the mighty Synod would bother with a small timer like me when they've got bigger fish to fry.
