“Iei Ai Kapas Allim”—“Iei Ai Mwichefen”

Iei An ewe Chon Amanau kapas allim, me iei An Mwichefen (nengeni 3 Nifai 27:21; Mosaia 26:22; 27:13). Ewe chufengenin ekkewe ruu a pochokun me efisata ekesiwinin aramas.

Non pukuwen ier, powter mi chon ina ewe pakutang a kon pochokun e wor. A tongeni kopung por mecha, nge ese kon pochokun manamanen ren napengeni angangen kata fau me angangen forun aan. A kon apwangapwang an epwe atai fau.

Non 1846 emon chemist chon Italy itan Ascanio Sobrerio a fori ew minefon pakutang, nitroglycerin. Ei nono mi misimis a nap seni fan engorou pochokunan seni powter mi chon. A tongeni mecheresi ne aparasa fau. Osupwangan chok, pwe nitroglycerin ese kon pung foforun. Ika ke oturatiw seni ia ese kon tekiata, iwe a pung. Ika pwe a kon pwichikar, a pung.

Napengeni ekkewe fonu ra akouono ar pekin wawa war, me chommong ra akouono ar pekin for watten mwosinen mettoch.

Non 1860 emon mi tipachem non science chon Sweden itan Alfred Nobel a sotuni ne foriochu ewe nitroglycerin. Mwirin fisu ierin an tesini angangen forun, a tori met ewe a angang ngeni ren an atononga nitroglycerin non ew mettoch usun ese fen namot a iteni diatomaceous earth ika kieselguhr. Kieselguhr a efou fau mi pwangekis a tongeni epwe katatiw winiti powter. Nupwen epwe nofit fengen me nitroglycerin, kieselguhr a atononga ewe nitroglycerin, me ewe fisinon paste a tongeni napanapeni effoch “wok.” Non ununun ei, nitroglycerin e kon nien fisioch. A tongeni tumun ne iseiseno, uweano ekis, me aean a pochokun fiti pungumongun pakutang ese kisikiseno. Nobel a eita ngeni ewe kochufengenin nitroglycerin me keiselguhr pwe “dynamite.”

Dynamite a ekesiwini ewe fonufan. A pwan fori an Nobel epwe wou. Ika ese wor minen an epwe aposa, nitroglycerin a fen pisekin chok efeiengaw ne aea, usun Ascanio Sobrero a kuna. Ren pusin won an, ewe minen aposatiw mettoch, kieselguhr a ekis namot. Nge ewe kochufengenin ekkewe ruu mettoch a fori dynamite ew watten ekesiwin.

Non ew an mi wewe ngeni, ewe kochufengenin ewe kapas allimen Jises Kraist me Ewe Mwichefenin Jises Kraist ren Aramas mi Pin non Fansoun Soponon a awora pochokunen me ekesiwinin tufich fanitach. Ewe kapasanim a unusoch, nge ew mwichefel a aurour seni nang pwe epwe wisen afanafana, tumunochu nimenimochun, me anganga an kewe angangepin mi pin fiti an ewe Chon Amanau manaman me mumuta.

Ewe Mwichefen a wiseni ne afanafana “ese wor pwe ewe chok aier me nuku won ewe Samon, ewe [epwe angasano] noun aramas.” Aea an Kot ewe mumuta, ewe Mwichefen a wiseni an epwe anganga ewe angangepin ren papatais “non iten ewe Samon, usun emon chon pwarata [ren tonong] non ew pwon mi pin ngeni i … [ne] angang ngeni i me aponueta an kewe annuk.” Ekkewe aramas ra papatais ra wata wor ewe iten Jises Kraist, choni An Mwichefen, me ewe pwon ngenir ewe wachemuken manamanen ewe Ngun mi Fel.

Ikamo ir mi asufonu ekkewe konikin me ekkewe tenin ira, an ewe Samol Mwichefen esap ew neni ika teninimw, esap pwan ina ikenai.

Ika ese wor pekin foforochun manamanen ren kieselguhr, nitroglycerin mi kouk ouchean ren ew pakutang. Nupwen uruo afen pwarano, ika ese wor an ewe Samon ewe Mwichefen, an aramas weweiti ngeni An kapas allim epwe pwan ina chok usun ese pungoch—epwe mecheresin ekkesiwin nongonong me epwe aea ngeni an ekkewe ekkoch namanam, ureni, me ossukun.
