Nenengeni ewe Puk, Nenengeni ewe Samon

Oua tongeni kuna ewe Puken Mormon pwe ami foun nongonong, nukanapen ami pochokun non pekin ngun?

Mary Elizabeth Rollins

Non ai ekiek, ua anchangei pwe ami ewe maritan tappin aramas oua katon are ausening ngeni ei mwichen mwichenap ekkis meinisin won fonufan.

Ei poraus usun emon fopun, a nomnon New York, nge mwen a tori unungat ierin seman we a mano nupwen wan ewe mota a kokkotiw non ewe konik. I, inan we, mongean, me pwin kukkun ra mokut ngeni pwan ew teninimw non ewe fonu ar repwe nom ren pwin inan we me punuan we. Ekkis fansoun mwirin ewe famini a wareto, misineri me chon mwichefen seni ew minefon mwichefen ra eto ngeni nenier we ren ew poraus mi ning usun ewe Niwinsefaniton ewe kapas allim. Ra aporausa usun emon chon nang a wato ew uruo seni nom ngeni emon anuon itan Joseph Smith, ei uruo a wisen chiakuni ren ewe manamanen Kot. Ruemon nein ekkewe wasona, Oliver Cowdery me John Whitmer, ra wesen kuna ren pwisin meser ekkewe seleich kolt mi makk won, me Whitmer a pwarata pwe a wesen komoch ekkewe seleich non poun kewe. Ei uruo ra keran printini non puk, me Brother Whitmer a uwei ekkoch an epwe ngeni aramas. Itan ewe puk, ewer, ewe Puken Mormon.

Nupwen a 12 ier Mary a rongorong ekkewe misineri ra poraus usun ewe puk, a uor an murinnon memmef non netipan. Ina mwo ika ewe Puken Mormon a manun ren chommongun ekkewe peich, Mary a fokkun mochen anneani. Nupwen Brother Whitmer a feino seni nenier, a ngeni Brother Isaac Morley ew kapin ewe puk, ewe a chok chiechien tettenin seman Mary ewe me emon sou emwen non ewe mwichefen minefo.

Murin Mary a makketiw: “Ua feino ngeni imwan [Brother Morley] ewe … o ua tingor ai upwe katon ewe Puk; [atewe] a wanong non pei, [me] nupwen ua nennengeni, ua mefi ew mochen ai upwe anneani, o use tongeni kouno ne tingor ngeni an epwe mut ngeni ei ai upwe uwei ewe puk ngeni imwei ai upwe anneani. … A apasa … ese wor an fansoun an epwe tongeni pwisin anneani ew sopun me non, nge ekkoch chok mwan ir mi kukkuna ewe puk, nge ai tingor mi fiti unusen netipei, o a apasa ʻnengin, ika kopwe aniwini ewe puk ngeni ei nesesorun nesor, ka tongeni angei.’”

Mary Elizabeth Rollins a annea

Mary a sa ngeni imwan o a ing ren masouan ewe puk iwe a neno arapakan unusen ewe pwin an a anneani ewe puk. Soratan ewe ran, nupwen a aniwini ewe puk, Brother Morley a apasa, “Uwa ekieki ese watte met ka anneani me non ewe puk” me “use nuku pwe en mi tongeni aporausa ngeni ei ew kapas seni ewe puk.” Mary a uwenewenita o a apasa ewe aewin wokison seni ewe Puken Mormon. A pwan aporausa usun ewe porausen Nifai. Mwirin Mary a makketiw, “Anewenewen ngeniei, o a apasa, ʻnengin, angei ei puk uweano ngeni imwom o awesano ne anneani unusen ewe puk, ua tongeni witiwit.’”

Ekis fansoun mwirin, Mary a amuchunon ne anneani ewe puk me i ewe aemonun aramas non nenian ewe a akkom ne anneani unusen ewe puk. A sinei pwe mi ennet o a feito seni Semach won Nang. Nupwen a nenengeni ewe puk, a nenengeni ewe Samon.

Iei met Mary a makkei usun achechemenien ena ran: “Nupwen [Joseph Smith] a kunaei a nenengeniei non mosonoson. … Mwirin ekkis fansoun a … efeiochu ei … o a nifang ngeni ei ew ewe puk, o a apasa pwe epwe ngeni Brother Morley pwan ew [kapi]. … Am meinisin mi mefi pwe i emon noun Kot chon angang, pwe a kapas fiti manaman, pwan usun emon a wor ren mumuta.”
