Te Tia Motikitaeka ae Raoiroi

Bon tii teuana te kawai nakon te moti ae momotiraoi, are e karaoia Iesu Kristo, ao anne n riki n ai Arona.

N ana tai ni maiu, Iesu Kristo bon te tia motikitaeka ae tatangiraki ao e moamoa riki, e ataibwai ao n taotaona nanona. E aranaki ni booki aika tabu bwa te“tia motikitaeka ae raoiroi”(2  Timoteo 4:8; Moses 6:57), ao Ana reirei naba nakoira “karaoa te motikitaeka ae raoiroi” (taraa ana raitaeka Iotebwa Timiti, Mataio 7:1–2[inanonMataio 7:1, baika a na taraaki a]) ao ni kaaki ami kakoaua inanon te Tamnei anne are kairiri nakon karaoan ae raoiroi…[ao] ni motikitaeka ma te raoiroi” ( D&C 11:12 ).

Ni buokira n te aro anne n aron are E karaoia, E anga ana reirei nakoia Tengaun ma uoman Nibwaite: “Kam na riki bwa taan motikitaekaia te botanaomata aio{ n aron te motikitaeka are N na angani ngkami, are e momotiraoi. Ngaia are aekan aomata raa ngkami? E koaua ae I a tuangkami, kam na riki n ai arou” (3 Nibwaai 27:27{; e ikotaki karawawataana). Ti mwaninga n tabetai are ngkana E anga te reirei bwa boni ngaia e bon taekina aron te motikitaeka ae raoiroi.

Te Motikitaeka ae aki Raoiroi.

Te Tia Kamaiu ma Bwaretaio ao Taan Reirei

Te banna ni katootoo ae kamaamaa ni motikitaeka ae aki raoiroi e roko man te kaikonaki are te tibu ae bua ngke Bwaritaio ma taan koroboki a taekina te Tia Kamaiu ma raona n amwarake n te aro ae aki riai, ni kangai “E mwaneia aomata aika buakaka Teuaei ao e amwamwarake ma ngaiia” ( Ruka15:2)—aki ataaki nakon te koaua are boni ngaiia taani bure. Ni iai irouia te nano n tiribure, taan koroboki ao Baritaio a aki ataa te kukurei ni kamaiuan tibu aika bua ake ana utu Iteraera.

Te Tia Kamaiu ma te aine are te kabekaau

Ao taan koroboki ma Bwaritaio naba” a kaira nako Ina te “aine temanna ae kuneaki ngke e wene ni bure; ( Ioane 8:3) nakon te Tia Kamaiu bwa E na motika taekana n aron ana tua Mote (taraa te kibu 5. Kam ataa nikiran te karaki, bwa E kanga ni kananorinanoia ibukin aia motikitaeka ae bure, ao a kanga ni “bure n oin aia kairua” ao n nako temanna imwin temanna” (kibu 9; karawawataki ikotaki). E taku nakon te aine bwa e aki kunea ni bure ao e na nako ao e na aki manga bure. Ao te aine anne e karaoiroa te Atua man te tai anne ao e kakoaua arana.” (Joseph Smith Translation, John 8:11 [n Ioane 8:11, footnote c]).

Te Tia Kamaiu e taetae nakon te aine bwa e na manga aki karaoa te bure

Bon ana kairiribai te Atua te aro n aomata i nanon te mwaane ao te aine bwa iai iroura n taainako te tiribureia tabeman ao ni motikitaekaia n te aro ae aki eti, ke ko bon karaoiroiko. E bon riki nakoia Iakobo ao Ioane, ana Abotoro te Tia Kamaiu. A rangi ni un ngke a karaoa ae aki eti kaain te kaawa ae Tamaria n akean te karinerine nakon te Tia Kamaiu (taraa Ruka 9:51–54):

Te Tia Kamaiu ma taan iriiria

“Ngke [a] nooria, ao a taku, Te Uea, Ko tangiria ba ti na tua ba e na bwaka te ai mai karawa ni kamaunaia, n aekan are karaoia Eria?

“Ao Ngaia E rairaki, ao E boaiia, ao E taku, Kam aki ataia bwa aekakin taamnei raa ngkami.

“Ba E aki roko Natin te Aomata ba ni kamateia aomata ma E roko ba E na kamaiuia.”(kiibu 54–56).

N te bong aei “taan motikitaeka” (D&C 107:74) a na kararoa te iranikuri n taetae ni matoatoa n aekan Iakobo ao Ioane are a karaoia n te tai arei. Te Tia Moti ae Raoiroi e na kaekai kabwara bure ma te nanoanga ao te ataibwai. Te rikirake ae kairua, n arona e na kitana ana aobiti te bitiobi n namakina ana tangira te Tia Kamaiu rinanon te bitiobi ao ni kaonaki n te kukurei ao te mwaaka ni kamaiu rinanon te Baire ni Kamaiu—n aki mamaa ke n tauaki n te rawawata. Tii ngkana, e kitana te tibu n te rereua n aki ataia (taraa Ruka 15:4).

Reiakinan te maiu ae Raoiroi

E ngae n anne, te nanoanga e aki kamauna te kainanoa te reireiaki. Te taeka discipline e roko man te taeka n Ratine ae discere, — ni boaaki, ke discipulus, te aomata ae reireinaki, ataein te reirei ao taan iriria. 1 N reiakina ana kawai te Uea bon te itangitangiri n tataona n nano n reirei. Ni booki aika tabu E aki toki te Uea ni kamanena te taeka katamaroa, ngkana E taekina reiakinan te maiuraoi (taraia, ibukin te katoto, Motiaea23:21; D&C 95:1). Te taeka ae katamaroa e roko man te Ratine castus nanona katamaroa, ke itiaki, itiaki ao katamaroa ni kaitiakia.2

Inanon te aonaaba, bon babairen aonaaba are karawawata te aomata ao ni kaina te aomata n te auti ni kaikain. Ni kabotauana, Ana Boki Moomon e reireiniira bwa ngkana ti karaoa te bure n oin nanora, ti bon karikira bwa “taan moti” ( Aramwa 41:7) ao ti bon kariniira n te karabuti n tamnei. E taabangaki bwa, te tia moti ni kabuta e taui king are kaukii mataroan te karabuti; “ma bukin katamaroaia I katauraoa te kawai ibukin te kamaiuaki ni bwaai ni kabane man te karirii” (D&C 95:1; e ikotaki karawawataana). Karaoakin te motikitaeka ae raoiroi a onrake n te akoi, te tangira, ao te kakamaiu, ma tiaki te karawawata.

Iotebwa Timiti ngke ae ataei e reireinaki ma te tarataraaki n aua te ririki imwain anganakina taian batua koora, “bukina bwa ko a tia n aki kawakin ana tua te Uea” 3 Imwiina, ngke Iotebwa Timiti e kabuai 116 iteraniba, e a manga reireiaki riki. E ngae n anne e bon rangi n nanokawaki, ao te Uea e katoki kabwaia aika a na reke inanon te tai ae kimototo, bukina bwa “are I tangiria I kaitiakia naba bwa aia bure a na kabwaraaki” ( D&C 95:1).

E taku Iotebwa Timiti, “E kukurei te anera ngke e a kaoki nakoiu Urim ao Thumim ao e taku bwa E kukurei te Atua n au kakaonimaki ao au nanorinano, ao n tangirai ibukin au raraoma ao au tataro ae korakora” 4 Bukina bwa te Uea e kan reireina Iotebwa te reirei ibukin bitakin te nano, E tangira ana karea n nanomaraki—te karea mwakoron reiakinan te maiu ae raoiroi.

Karea

“N rimoa, te karea e nanonaki ni karaoan te bwai teuana ke temanna ni kamimitongaki,” 5 n tomaia, n te kawai ae inaomata, nakon kabwaraan te taeka katamaroa—“ ni kaitiakia.” N aekakin ngkoa Iteraera, te kabwarabure e roko rinanon te bure ke te angabwai ae bure ke te karea 6 Te karea e aki tii kote[a] ae korakora ae te kabanea. (Aramwa 34:14) ma e buokiia aomata n namakina te kakaitau Ibukin ana mwaakuri ni Kamaiu te Tia Kamaiu. Te aki anga nano n te karea ae mwakoron ara rairanano ni kakaniko, ni kakea bongan. Kurakaina— kanikinaean te aki kakaitau.

N te anga teuana, nakon karewen te karea, tikarekea te bwai teuana ae akea tokin bonganana—Ana nanoanga ao ana kabwarabure, ao n tokina ni kabane ake iai iroun [te] Tama (D&C 84:38). Ngkai mwakoron mwakurin te raira n nano, e mwakuri naba bwa te bwaa ni kakamaiu ni buoka ao n onea mwiin te kairua are ko karaoia(Aramwa 42:18) ma te rau n onea mwiin te nanokawaki( Motiaea 4:3). N akean te karea, e kona te aomata ni kanganga ni kabwarai aia bure bukina bwa iai nikirana ae tauaki.7

Kaaro n tabeia bwa Taan Motikitaeka Aika Raoiroi

Ngkai tabeman mai buakora a na aranaki bwa taan motikitaeka, reirei n te motikitaeka ae raoiroi e katauaki nakoira, moa riki nakoia kaaro are iai tabeia ni katoa bong ni kamanenai reirei aikai ma natiia. Te kawai ae kakai n reireiniia ataei bon te aro ni karo ae raoiroi, ao n reirei ma te tangira boni ngaia oin te riki n tia motikitaeka ae raoiroi.

Beretitenti Joseph  F. Smith e reirei, “Ngkana a rawa n ongo ao ni kanganga tauakin aroia ataei, taona n nano irouia ni karokoa ko kona n tokanikai n te tangira, … ao ko kona ngkanne ni [bita] anuaia ngkana ko kukurei”8

E rangi n oota bwa inanon reiakinan aron te ongeaba, taian burabeti n taainako anuaia aiaron Kristo. Doctrine ao Covenants a anganiira raoi te reirei ae ataaki raoi n aron te raoiroi:

“Akea te mwaaaka ke te korakora ae kona n tararuaki n raoiroin te nakoanibonga, tii man.te ikakorakora, man te koraakai ae maan, n te rau ao n te tangira ae aki bwaka;

“Man te akoi, ao te ataibwai ae itiaki, are na kakorakorai nanora n akea te kewekewe, ao n akea babakanikawai—

“Te aki nanoraoi n taai tabetai ma te matoatoa, ngkana ti kairaki iroun te Tamnei are Raoiroi, ao ngkanne kaotinakoana imwina rikiraken te tangira” (D&C 121:41–43).

Te boki ae tabu e reireiniira n aki nanoraoi “ngkana ti kairaki iroun te Tamnei are Raoiroi,” tiaki ngkana ti un. Te Tamnei are Raoiroi ao te un a aki boraraoi, bukina bwa ane iai irouna tamnein te kakauntaeka ao bon tiaki mai irou, ma bon mai iroun te riaboro, are taman te kakauntaeka, ao e kakiriwei nanoia aomata bwa a na itabarara ma te un i marenaia” (3 Nibwaai 11:29). E reirei George Albert Smith bwa “bwaai aika aki raraoi a bon aki atoatongaki iaan ana kairi te Uea. Tamnein te Uea bon tamnein te akoi; bon tamnein te tataona n nano; bon tamnei te nanoanga ao te tangira ao te totoko ao te korakai ae maan …

“… Ma ngkana iai iroura tamnein ukoukoran te kairua n te aro ae urubwai, are aki roko ibukin te iraorao ma Tamnein Tamara are i Karawa ao are ntaainako a kaikoaki.

…Te Akoi bon te mwaaka are anganiira te Atua ni kamaraui naano ao ni karaui naano aika matoatoa.”9

Kinakiin Aroia Raoi Ara Ataei

Ngke e kawariia Nibwaite te Tia Kamaiu, E karaoa te bwai ae raka ma ataei:

“Ao e atongaki bwa E reireiniia ao e mwananoia natiia aomata….ao E anganiia te kona n taetae, ao a taekini bwaai aika korakora ao ni kamimi nakoia aia karo. …
