Nam kichi peuhmah a inntek pan deuh omlou theilou hi. Zomi a ding in Paite hi, ka chilou theikei. Ut in ut takei le'ng. Pathian seh houh ihi tam maw? Huaiziak in, ei kipiakzohna zahzah in mite'n hon muang ding uhi. We have to make the biggest sacrifice. Zomi phungchinna ding a hihding te eimah a kipan ding himawk hi.

I sacrifice zahzah i mukik ding. Muhkik louh ichihte pen i muhkiktheihna ding a muhtheihlouh awngphah (unseen bedrock) hi zomah lai uhi. Abraham in a tapa Isak a piak ngam man in namte pa suak hi...tazel oh.
Eite (Paite, chi se zel ni) leng Zomi te pa-mel (father figure) ihih ut in tuh, i piakkhiak ding tam ven. I ngam na'm?
