Irekereken koaua ake teniua ibukiia aomata, ao te aonaaba: tiaienti, koroboki aika a tabu, ao reitinakon te kaotioti.
Te aomata are e kamatebwaia mwakoron te rinan ae uarereke aei—bwa taan kakoaua ke tiaki taan kakoaua—a riai n ataia bwa Iotebwa Timiti e a waakina te mwakurii ae moan te anainano iaon koauan te aro ae ninikoria ao ae boou man kakaawaki. N aron are ti warekia n Preach My Gospel, bwaninin te euangkerio e kaokaki nakon te aonaaba rinanon Iotebwa Timiti.3
Ko bae n tia n ataia bwa au karinan aei e aki ti taekina Iotebwa n uotarake ana Boki Moomon, te waorium ae boou n koroboki aika tabu are, ni koauana, e oioi iaon mwaitin iango aika a boou akanne. Te boki anne e taekinaki n arona ae onoti. Atuuna e katanoata bonganana ae moan te kakaawaki: “Kakoauan Taekan Iesu Kristo.” Ma iaon riki bonganana anne, iai riki ae mwaiti. Aio are e taekinna te tia rabakau ae rang kinaaki n te kabo boki ibukin te boki:
“Ana Boki Moomon e kaota te kantaninga ae boou ibukin America: bwa e na riki bwa nen te raoiroi nakon te tautaeka n inaomata. Ni kaitara rikiraken te kaubwai ao te kakaokoroaki, ana Boki Moomon e na boutoka tararuakiia kainnano. … Irouia tautaeka n inaomata, e tabekakirake te tua ae raoiroi irouia taan moti ao uea ian ana tua te Atua.

E a kaman noori kaangaanga ibukin te aba n tangiran te kaubwai, aki butimwaean te kaotioti, ao kateia Tientaire n totoko nakon te raoiroi, kaotioti, ao Iteraera.”4
Ae kakawaki riki bon te bwai are e a tibwa taekinna Beretitenti Nelson ibukin Ana Boki Moomon: bon te “bwai ni mwakuri are e berita bwa e na ikotiia ni kabane tibun Iteraera.”5
Ngkai ti wareka Preach My Gospel, te Burabeti Iotebwa Timiti e taekinna bwa ana Boki Moomon bon “kingin maninganingan ara ekaretia.”6
Angiina ake tiaki kain te aro aki ata ana anganano ae korakora Iotebwa Timiti n ana itera te aro. N te kamatebwai are e ataki n te aonaaba, te tia kakaae iaon titiraki are e reitaki ma aomata, Gary Lawrence e kunea bwa iteran mwaitiia aomata ake a kamatebwai a taku bwa aika Itiaki ni Boong aika Kaitira a kaokoro n iango ao kamimi aia koaua “buakaka aia koaua.”7 Ngke e titirakiniia naake e intawiu ma ngaia, “Tera ae a kakoaua kain te aro ae te Moomon?” ti temanna mai irouia ake itiman ae a konani kabwarabwarabwara te iango ae kaan nakon kaokan bwaai ke manga katean te onimaki ni Kiritian are te moan.

II. Iotebwa Timiti, te Aomata
Aikai tabeua oin au iango iaon kamimiin maiun Iotebwa Timiti.9 Iotebwa Timiti are I kaitibo ma ngaia n au kakaae ibon irou, riki i Illinois, USA, bon te aomata ae mwaiti ana kukune—kairake, kakai rotaki ana namakin, kakai bibitaki, ao e tatangiraki ao e kakawaraki irouia ana aomata ake a aranna n tainako bwa “Tari Iotebwa.” Kabotauan rikirakena bon te bwai ae kakaongora n ana mwakuri ni burabeti. Ai tibwa 14 ana ririki n te tai are e Moan Karekea te Kaotioti, 21 ana ririki ngke e karekei bwaatua ake koora, ao ai tibwa 23 ana ririki ngke e katia n raira Ana Boki Moomon (ae kee ian 60 te bong ni mwakuri).
E raka iaon iteran ara boki ae Reirei ao Berita aika a Tabu ake e karekeaki rinanon te burabeti aei ngke 25 ke e uarereke riki. Ai tibwa 26 ana ririki ngke e kateaki te Moan Beretitenti ao ai tibwa 33 ana ririki ngke e birinako man te karabuuti i Missouri ao n okira nakoana ni kairiiri irouia aika Itiaki. Ai tibwa 38 ana ririki ao te itera ngke e tiringaki.
Inanona maiuna ae kimototo, Iotebwa Timiti e rinanon ae mwaiti riki nakon ake a tia n rinanona angiina aomata. Ngke ai tibwa itiua ana ririki, e korakai n te maraki ni korean rangana. Ibukina bwa a maiu ni kainnano ana utu, e karekea ana reirei ae uarereke ao ngke e ikawai riki e kabaeaki n te mwakuri ae abwabwaki ni ibuobuoki ibukin karekean te amwarake ibukiia ana utu iaon te taibora. E korakora ikanakina n taai aika a mwaiti. I nuukan ana mwakuri ake e na katiai aika a uatao n nakoana ae tabu, e mwakuri bwa te tia ununiki ke te tia kawakin man ibukin karekan te maiu ibukiia ana utu. E karaoa aio n akean te tarena n te maiu n tamnei are e kateimatoa ni weteana n riki bwa te burabeti. Te Uea e tuangnga bwa “ni mwakurin aon te aba a na akea te korakora iroum, bwa tiaki aio weteakim” (Reirei ao Berita aika Tabu 24:9).
N te maiu n tamnei, akea ae iai irouna te banna ni katoto are e na kona n reirei iai Iotebwa Timiti n aron te riki ni burabeti ao n tia kairiiri. E bae ni katan irouia raona ake a tuai ni mwaatai. Ngaia ma ngaiia a uaia n reirei n ikotaki. Iotebwa e bon rang baiti ni karekean te wanawana ao te nano ni mwaane. E kakoauaki bwa iai irouna te tarena ae onoti. N aron ae ti kona n taekinna n te bong aei, bon te aomata ae “waekoa n atatai.” E taku bwa e reireinaki iroun te tia uarongorongo mai karawa ao man kaotioti tabeua mairoun te Atua, ao I kakoaua.
Teuana mai ibuakon ana tarena bon kaotaki man aia tangira ao aia kakaonimaki aomata ae tamaroa aomata ake a iriiria. Ngke e kaewenakoia taan iriiria Iotebwa bwa a na tokanikai iaon aia aki kororaoi n te maiu n rabwata, e aki kataia ni karaoiroia riki nakoia, ao a tangiria ibukin anne. N te kabwarabwara are e kabwarabwara iaona Iotebwa tabeua te namwakaina imwain tiringana, e katanoata, “I tuai man tuangi ngkami bwa I kororaoi, ma akea te kairua man kaotioti ake I a tia n reirei iaona.”10 Iotebwa Timiti iai “anuana ni kukurei are bon rikiana” (Iotebwa Timiti —Rongorongo 1:28) are e tatangiraki man karineaki iai irouia aomata nako ake a kina. Temanna are e kina e taku, “Aia tangira aika Itiaki nakoina e aki kona ni kabwarabwaraaki.”11 Raonakina irouia raraona bon te bwai ni kakukurei iroun Iotebwa, are e noora katean aroia te botannaomata ao te kaawa are bon oin ana kantaninga te euangkerio.
I taekinna n te taina: “Ni maiuna ni kabane, Iotebwa Timiti e tei i moa ni maiuna, n te tabo are mwaane a kabanei korakoraia n tokanikai iaon bwaai aika riki iaon te aba ao n tabetai ni kaitara temanna ma temanna. Bon te mwaane ae bubura, korakora ao e rang kakamwakuri. E tatangira te kabo n te takakaro, n ikotaki ma buukai are uoman aomata a kaai ni katika te kai ae ti teuana—nooran te korakora (taraa History of the Church, 5:302). Ara rongorongo rimoa iai inanona rongorongo aika a mwaiti n ana ikakorakora ma raraona ao naake a kinaa. N te Tabati teuana, ngaia ma Brigham Young a kabwarabwara nakoia aika Itiaki mai Ramus, Illinois, n taekan te bong are e mwananga iai mai Nauvoo. N te Moanibong, imwain kitanan Ramus, Iotebwa e kabo korakora ma temanna te mwaane ae kabwarabwaraaki bwa ‘te buurii mai Ramus’ (taraa Joseph Smith Journal, 13 March 1843, raweaki iroun Willard Richards, Joseph Smith Collection, LDS Church Archives). Iotebwa e tokanikai n te aitara anne. I karabwarabwa bwa ara maungatabu ae ngkai e aki karaoa ae aekakin anne nakoia taan kairiiri ake a roko.”12
Tabeman mwaane a tia n riki bwa takete n te kataaki ae mwaiti iaon aia mition ke n aia ururing nakon riki Iotebwa Timiti. I ukoukorii tabeua kaitara aikai man au kakaae iaon rekooti ake a oioi mai Illinois, te tabo are e maeka iai Iotebwa ni kabanea iai nimaua te ririki imwain matena. Teuana te bukibuki ae tabekaki ngke Iotebwa Timiti, e riki bwa te meia n te tai anne, ao te Kauntira man te kaawa i Nauvoo ni kaitara te Nauvoo Expositor, te nutibeeba ni kaitara. Te kaitara aio e kaineti nakon te Ekaretia ao e kaineti riki nakon tiringan Iotebwa.
Taan koro rongorongon n taai akekei irouia aika Itiaki ni Boong aika Kaitira, n ikotaki ma Unimwaane B. H. Roberts, e taekinna bwa te mwakuri aei e tabuaki n te tua. E ngae n anne, ngke I karaoa au kakaei iaon aei ngke I moan riki bwa te burobeetia n te tua, I mimi bwa I kunea aan te tua n te mwakuri aei n tuan Illinois n 1844. A mwaiti kaitaraan te nutibeeba aei n te tai aei n tian aba imwain te Buaka n te Aonaaba. Anganakin te inaomata n taabo ni boreti n tuan Amerika e aki kariaiakaki karaoana n te kaawa ao te tautaeka n te tieiki ni karokoa 1931, ao imwiin ti man te Boowi are rietata e na ti kona ni bwati iroun te rabwata are raka ana mwaiti n te kaotinano iaon manga karaoan te tua are e kabonganaaki n 1868.13 Temanna e riai ni motikitaeka iaon ana mwakuri Iotebwa Timiti iaon te tua are e boboto iai ao bwaai ake a riki n ana bong, tiaki ngaira.
Ngke ti riki bwa ataein te reiei n te Iuniwetiri mai Chicago, te historian Marvin S. Hill ao ngai e kakamaku iroura bwa niiman mwane ake a kabowiiaki i Illinois ibukin tiringan Iotebwa Timiti. E raka iaon 10 te ririki ti kakaaei raiburari ao akaiwe ni kabuta te aonaaba ni kakaea mwakoro n rongorongo iaon aei 1845 irouia ake a kabowiaki ao a irekereke iai. Ara boki e kaoti rongorongoia ao aia mwakuri kain Illinois ake a kina Iotebwa Timiti—tabeman ake a tangiria ao a anga maiuia ibukina, ao tabeman ake a ribaia ao a kamwanea bwa a na tiringa. Akea n ara kukune n rekooti ake a nako man te boowi ke n te kakoaua n te boowi ae abwabwaki ae kaota te bwai are e kaota aki karinean te aomata are e tiringaki.14
Reken rekooti man boowi mai Illinois e kairi nakon teuana te tabo ae tuai roko te aba iai n te kakaae iaon Iotebwa Timiti. Joseph I. Bentley, are a riki bwa ataein te reirei n te tai anne i Chicago, ao ngai ti kunei rekooti aika mwaiti iaon ana waaki Iotebwa Timiti. Ti uaia ni korea n 1976 Manga Rinanoan te Tua n Brigham Young te rongorongo iaon aei.15 Te 1840 tabun e rimwiaki ni bwakan kaubwain te aba n te aonaaba. Kaubwain te aba n tian aba iaon te titeiki n aron Illinois a bon rang buakaka. Te katoto, rongorongon Abraham Lincoln a kabwarabwaraaki ana kairua iaon te mwane n ana tai n tautaeka, ngke bitineti aki kona n nakoraoi, aomata ake a tarau aki kona ni kabwarai aia taarau, ao a mwaiti katuua n te boowi ake a riki.16
Ana kairiribai Iotebwa Timiti a katuaea ni bwaai aika kairua ni bwaai aika kakaokoro ake a kabonakoaki, are angiina ibukin te Ekaretia. Rinanina boowi ake a karaoaki ake a reitinako ni kaniia tebwina te ririki a rang ni bwarabwara raoi. N tokina, inanon 1852, e maan imwiin nakoia aika Itiaki’ n otinaki mai Illinois (ngaia are akea te tua ae e kona n reke ke riaia iroun temanna bwa e na iraniia aika Itiaki ke aia tia kairiiri), te moti e kaotia bwa a boowi aei akea kairuan ke te bure ae karaoaki iroun Iotebwa Timiti.17
Taan rabakau aika atatai iaoia te botanoamata a korea aio iaon ana anai nano Iotebwa Timiti ibukin U.S. nakoa ni beretitenti:
“Ngkai e kona n aki reke irouna te tokanikai n te rinerine irouia te botanaomata n 1844 rinerine, e kateitei ma te iangoraoi ibukin katean te kateniua ni bootaki are e na kaunga manga karaoan te tua n te United States.

Ngaia ma Robert F. Kennedy a tiku bwa ti ngaiia kain Amerika ake a tiringaki ngke a anainano ibukin ana aobiti te beretitenti n te United States.”18
Anuan Iotebwa Timiti e rang ataaki irouia aomata ake a kina ao a tei ni kaan nakoia n ana kairiiri n te Ekaretia. A neboia ao a kamatoa bwa te burabeti. “Tarina are Hyrum e rineia bwa e na mate irarikina. John Taylor, are bon raona naba ngke e tiringaki, e taku: ‘I kakoaua imatan te Atua, anera, ao aomata, bwa bon te mwaane ae raoiroi, karineaki, te aomata ae bwaina te etieti … —anuana n ti ngaia ao ibuakoia te botanaomata e kaangaanga bwa kona aki kakoaua—bwa e maiu ao e mate bwa a na aomata te Atua’ (The Gospel Kingdom [1987], 355; taraa naba R&B 135:3).

III. Iotebwa Timiti ao te Tua
Ngkai e kakoauaki man ana banna ni katoto Ia tia ni kaman korei, te bwai ae mamate nanou iai n te tai ae maan n rongorongon rimoa n ikoaki ma rongorongon Iotebwa Timiti n irekereke ma tuan te tautaeka n Amerika n ana tai ni maiu. Taan koro rongorongon n taai ake ngkoa a tia n taekinna bwa Iotebwa Timiti e irekereke ma 40 mwakuri n te tua. N te bong aei, ma te kakabwaia n te mwakuri ake a tia ni karaoaki The Joseph Smith Papers, ti ataia bwa te mwaiti e raka riki nakon 220. Mwakuri n te tua aikai e karinanaki man “man rikoan keiti aika beebete nakon ake a kaangaanga [mwakuri ake a kaitara te tua] n irekereke ma te botoniango are te katautau. … Iotebwa e kabonganaia aomata ake a atatai n te tua … ni uoti ao ni katani [akanne] mwakuri … bwaai ake a irekereke ma te botanaomata ao tua ni kaburebure”20
Ngkana ti tara mwaitin ao ara atatai ni maiun te burabeti, te tia rabakau ae kain te aro Jeffrey N. Walker e a tia ni koreia: “E reitinako Iotebwa Timiti ni kakamwakuri mwaaka, ao e irekereke ma waakin te tua n Amerika. Ni kaktinanikui waaki aika a kakaawaki aikai nanona kona aki tarai mwaitin ao aron kabanean ana tai ao korakorana, ni wanawana ao n nakoraoi—aika a bati are e taekinna Daniel H.

Teniman taan koroboki aika Itiaki ni Boong aika Kaitira ake a kakimototoa ni koreia n aro ae oti: “Rekerekena ae korakora iaon waakin te tua, Timiti e waekoa n atai tua n takakaro ao ni kabonganai tuua akanne nakon tamaroaia, ni katia ni kabwanina bonganaia n aroia ae boou ao ni katantan n tua ake a kona ni kabonganaaki n tuan te aba ae tibwa tabe n rikirake.
