“Nengeni Ngang ewe Saram Minne Oupwe Chunata”
Sia chunata an ewe Samon saram nupwen sia kamochunuk ngeni ach pwon mi pin me nupwen sia tipeew ngeni me etiwa nouch soufos mi manau.
Ngeni ekkewe chommongun kapasen pwarata non ei mwichenap, uwa apachata ai pwarata an aposel pwe Jises Kraist i ewe Noun Kot, ach Samon me Chon Amanau, ewe Chon Angasano meinisin noun Samach semirit. Ren An Achasefan, Jises Kraist a atufichi ngeni kich, ika sipwe nimenimoch, ach sipwe niwin ngeni me mwen mesen Samach non Nang me nonnom ren ach kewe famini feinfeino.
Ewe Chon Amanau ese monono seni ach sai non ei manau. Ren ekkewe ru ran ra no sia fen rongorong An kapas seni Noun souemwen mi kefinita pwe sipwe arap ngeni I. Fansoun me fansoun, ren An ennetin tong me umoumoch, I a anisi kich ach sipwe mesengeni weiresin manau. Nifai a anapanapa, “Ai Kot ai chon aninis; i a emmwen ngeniei ai upwe tou seni ai kewe riaffou. … A ouraeino ren an tong.”
Ena tong mi pwano nupwen a anisi emon me emon non An angang.
Sia anisi me etiwa nouch soufos mi manau atun mwichenap, me ewe Aewin Presetensi, ewe Mwichen Engon Me Ruomon Aposel, Meinap Unus, me Nouwisen ewe Mwichefen. Ach tipeew ngeni me etiwa wewen sia chunata pwan emon aramas, ngenir ach fansoun, ne nikitu ngeni ar nuku, ne foffor won ar kapas. Ra kapas ren memef seni ewe Samon; ra weweiti osukosuken iei, ewe ngawenon wenecharen mwicheich me an ewe chon koum achocho ne angawano an ewe Sam kokkot. Ren ach chunata pouch, sia fori ach aninis, esap chok ren ena fansoun nge pwan non manauach iteiten ran.
Etiwa mi pachenong chunata nouch presetenin steik me pisop, mwich me tettenin souemwen, ticher, me pwan mwo chon emwenin camp non ar wart me steik. Arap ngeni kich, sia chunata punuwach, nouch semirit, samach me inach, tettenin aramasach, me chon oruch. Nupwen sia chunata emon me emon sia apasa, “Ngang iei upwe anisuk, usap chok chunata poum me kumuchum nupwen ra ‘pekus’ nge upwe emon chon ourur me apochokun ren nepekum.”
Ewe ekiek ne chunata mi feito seni pukefel. Ren ekkewe konikin Mormon, ekkewe minafon memper ra papatais ra pwon ar repwe “mwarei fengeni an emon me emon chou pwe repwe tongeni pan; … [repwe] aururu ekkewe ra mochen aurur, me repwe chon pwarata usun Kot fansoun meinisin me non mettoch meinisin, me non neni meinisin.”
Ngeni ekkewe chon Nifai Jises a apasa: “Chunata ami saram pwe epwe tongeni asarama ewe fonufan. Nengeni Ngang ewe saram minne oupwe chunata.” Sia chunata an ewe Samon saram nupwen sia kamochunuk ngeni ach pwon mi pin me nupwen sia etiwa nouch soufos nupwen a apasa an Kot kapas.
Preseten Russell M. Nelson a apasa, nupwen a angang non ewe Mwichen ekkewe Engon me Ruemon Apostel, “Ach etiwa ewe soufos ina ew pwon sia pwisin fori pwe sipwe fokkun achocho ne aneasochisi ar kapasen osini.”
Ach chunata ewe soufos ew angang mi pin. Sise mwot mosonoson nge sia achocho ne eppeti i, appiru an ourour, afanafana an kapas, me iotek fan itan.
King Benjamin, non ewe Puken Mormon, a apasa ngeni ekkewe aramas, “Ngang ua chok usun pwan ami, ua nom fan nemenemen sokopaten apwangapwang non inis me ekiek; nge inamo ua fen kefinita … me riaffou ren poun ewe Samon … me ua isois me tumun me ren an manaman mi napanap, ai upwe angang ngenikemi fiti unusen ai tongeni, ekiek me pochokun minne ewe Samon a ngeniei.”
Usun chok, non an a ier 100, Ewe Samon a onomu me tumuunu Preseten Nelson. Non ewe atun Preseten Harold B. Lee, a emon chon ewe Aewin Presetensi, a apasa ewe kapas awewe ren an Moses uta won ewe chukun Rephidim. “Poun [ewe Presetenin ewe Mwichefen] epwe tongeni pekus,” a apasa. “Meni repwe sumutiw fan ekkoch pokiten choun wisan; nge nupwen sipwe chunata poun me nupwen sipwe emwen fan an ourour, me nepekin, ekkewe tittin hell resap pwaracho ngeni kemi me ngeni Israel. Tumunumi me tumunum a anongonong won ika sipwe are sisap tapweno mwirin ekkewe minne ewe Samon a enenier repwe emmweni An Mwichefen. I mi sinei ion I a mochen epwe emmweni an Mwichefen, me I esap mwan.”
Preseten Nelson a angei aninis non chommong ier meren ewe Samon. An mukono, chommongun sinenap, mirit, me an soun angei pwarata a wesen fich ngeni ach fansoun. I a apasa: “Ewe Mwichefenin Jises Kraist ren Aramas mi Pin non Fansoun Soponon a amonata ewe fonufan ngeni ewe fansoun nupwen ‘ewe fonufan epwe urono ren tipachemen ewe Samon’ (Isaiah 11:9). … Ei angang a apochokun me ren ew esinesin seni nang a fis 200 ier a no. A chok masouweni fufou kapas: ‘Iei I nei At mi Achengicheng. Rongorong ngeni I!’ (Nengeni Joseph Smith—History 1:17).”
Preseten Nelson a pwan apasa: “Ese mwo nge wor ew fansoun non uruon fonufan nupwen tipachemen ach Chon Amanau a unusen auchea me fich ngeni meinisin ngunun aramas. Ekieki ifa usun mwitirin ekkewe waten osukosuk non unusen fonufan—me ekkewe non manawen emon me emon kich—repwe wesino ika meinisin sipwe finata ne tapweno mwirin Jises Kraist me aneasosichi An afanafan.”
Pwi me fefinei, mi namot sipwe anapa aninis nap seni ngunungun, anapa ach fori ewe kapasen ewe Samon, An napanap, me Noun soufos, ewe a fen apasa: “Ew me nein ekkewe watten osukosuken ikenai ina ach osokofeseni nefinen ewe ennetin Kot me kewe nikotuputup an Setan. Ina popun ewe Samon a fonou kich sipwe ‘iotek iteitan, … pwe [sipwe] akkufu Setan, me … suseni nepoun noun Setan kewe chon angang ekkewe ra fori [an ewe chon u ngeni] angang’ [Doctrine and Covenants 10:5; auchean mi kapacheta].”
Non ewe April, a wor an Sister Rasband me Ngang tufichin fiti nouch achengicheng soufos me Sister Nelson ren ewe epinipin sefanin ewe Manti Utah Tempel.
Preseten Nelson a amairu meinisin nupwen a tonong non ewe rumw. Fitemon chok am mi sinei pwe epwe war. Non an ewe nom rem, ua mwitir mefi ewe saram me ewe wisen soufos i a mwarei. Ewe mesemesen pwapwa won mesen ekkewe aramas ar ra kuna ewe soufos upwe chemeni feinfeino.
Non ewe iotekin epinipin sefan, Preseten Nelson a tingorei ewe Samon pwe Imwan mi pin epwe wesen chunata meinisin ekkewe ra tonong non ewe tempel, “pwe repwe angei ekkewe feioch mi pin me repwe chok nimenimoch me nikitu ngeni ar pwon mi pin … pwe epwe ew imwen kinamwe, ew imwen aurur, ew imwen angei pwarata ngeni meinisin ra nimeimoch ne tonong non ekkei asam.”
Kich meinisin a nomot ngeni kich sipwe seikita me ren ewe Samon ren kinamwe, me aurur, me akkaewin angei pwarata ne ungeni nuokus, rochopwak, me anini fengen mi pwenni fonufan.
Me mwen ewe angang, aua uta nukun fan ewe akkar ren Preseten me Sister Nelson am oua nenengeni ewe ningochun ototen ewe neni. Mwirimwirin Preseten Nelson kewe ra feito seni ei neni. Awanuan tettenin seman me inan re nom nemonun ewe neni mi pwenni ewe tempel, usun pwan ai neuo. Semen semen semei Andrew Anderson a emon nein ekkewe chon angang me nein ekkewe pioneer ekkewe ra angang 11 ier ne awesi ewe Manti tempel, ewe aunungatin me non ewe Rocky Moutains.
Nupwen aua uta ren Preseten Nelson, a wor am tufichin chunata me anisi ewe soufosun Kot ne apwapwai ewe epinipin sefanin imwen ewe Samon mi pin. A eu ran minne usap fokkun monnuki.
“Sia aueta tempel ach sipwe asomonu ewe Samon,” Preseten Nelson a apasa non ena ran mi pin. “Ra kauuta ren ach sipwe fen ngeni nge esap ren pekin sokkun urumot. Sia fori pwon mi pin ren auchean mettoch esemuch non ekkei tempel.” Sia ionfengeni Israel.
Preseten Nelson me ekkewe soufos me mwan ra ennetin tumunochu ekkewe tempel mi pin ne pour. Ikenai, non unusen ewe fonufan, a wor rech 350 imwen ewe Samon mi pin minne ir mi suk, esinesin, me nom non angangen kauuta. Ren wisan soufos, seni 2018, Preseten Nelson a fen awora esinesin ren 168 tempel.
“Non ach fansoun,” i a apasa, “ew unusoch, wesinon, me unusochun, chufengenin meinisin tappin fansoun, kii, me manaman repwe chufengen. (nengeni Doctrine and Covenants 128:18). Ren ekkei popun mi pin, tempel mi pin iei ra etetenitiw won ewe fonufan. Ua pesei sefani pwe forutan ekkei tempel meni esap siwini manauemi, nge ami angang non ewe tempel meni epwe.”
“Ewe Chon Amanau me An nongonong ir ekkewe popunapen ewe tempel,” ewe Preseten a apasa. “Mettoch meinisin sia kaeo me non ewe tempel, seni emwen me seni ewe Ngun, a anapano ach weweiti usun Jises Kraist. An kewe auchean angangepin a ri fengeni kich ngeni I me ren pwonen pristut mi pin. Mwirin, ika sia aponueta ach kewe pwon mi pin, I epwe efeiochukich ren An echikara, manamanen apochokun.”
“Meinisin ekkewe ra fen ngeni non ewe tempel,: Preseten Nelson a apasa, “repwe ani ewe manamanen Kot me ekkewe chon nang ra ‘emwenir’ [Doctrine and Covenants 109:22]. Ifa ukukun an awateno om na epinukunuk, pwe kopwe sinei pwe, ika emon fefin me mwan mi endowed [ ika serafo mi nono non tempel] mi pochokun ren ewe manamanen Kot, iwe kose akanamon non om nonnom non ei manau? Met sokkun pesepes a ngonuk om kopwe sinei pwe ekkewe chon nang repwe fokkun anisuk?”
An chon nang etto ne chunata mi awewetiw non ekkewe pukefel nupwen Jises Kraist a etekisona ne fotopuku non ewe Ataken Gethsemane. Ren an riaffou I a awora ew Achasefan esemuch. “Ikenai,” Preseten Nelson a affata, “ewe aewin wattten fofforun tong me nein meinisin a makketiw non uruo a fis. … Ikena non Gethsemane, ewe Samon a riaffouni metekin aramas meinisin … pwe sipwe tongeni aier me feito ren i. [Doctrine and Covenants 18:11].”
“Kopwe angei ei kapen riaffou seniei,” Jises Kraist a tingor, “Nge esap netipei, nge netipom, epwe pwonueta.
“Emon chon nang seni nang a pwa ngeni o a apochokunata i.”
Mi wor chon nang unukuch iteiten ran. Preseten Nelson a apasa, “[Non ewe tempel,] oupwe kaeo ifa ussun oupwe sukano ewe eppet nefinen nang me fonufan, ifa ussun oupwe tingor ren noun Kot kewe chon nang ar repwe etenekikemi.”
Chon nang ra wato saram. An Kot saram. Ngeni Noun kewe Aposel Chon Nifai, Jises a apasa, “Nengeni Ngang ewe saram minne oupwe chunata.” Nupwen sia etiwa nouch soufos, sia pwarata pwe i a kokko seni ach Chon Amanau, i “ewe saram … en ewe fonufan.”
Preseten Nelson, fan iten ekkewe memper me chiechien an ewe Samon Mwichefen non unusen ewe fonufan, aua mefi feioch ne chunata om afanafan, ne chunata om nenien appirun manauen Kraist, me ne chunata om ennetin kapasen pwarata usun ach Samon me Chon Amanau, ewe Chon Angasano kich meinisin.
Ua apasa ai kapasen pwarata ren emon soufos pwe Jises Kraist i “ewe saram … en ewe fonufan.” Amwo kich meinisin, Noun chon kuno, sipwe “chunata” An saram. Non iten Jises Kraist, amen.
